Sorry to hear about your work troubles OP
I had the misfortune to use a sun workstation circa 2004 in a grad student lab. It was so sluggish and unpleasant to use that I developed a negative association with the logo. But now you've gotten me to look at it with fresh eyes and I see how brilliant the logo was.
> No state DOT is turning down a lane widening project, or a new highway build, or a "smart lane" because their jobs depend on it, even if it comes at the expense of us all. They really are not departments of transportation but just departments of highways and cars.

My city in Kentucky at least has been making all sorts of headway on multiple major "road diet" projects. Many of those projects are probably more expensive in the short term and maybe even in the long term, so it seems good for business too.

These "Road Diets" are amazing: fewer lanes, dedicated turn lanes, dedicated curb space for parking (and plants!). Traffic is safer, oddly slower but ultimately faster (median speeds are down but throughput is higher and accidents generally fewer; all commute times are better than the multi-lane equivalent times despite cars moving individually slower on average; fewer stops and grid blocks).

To maintain fewer lanes at faster throughput, they seem to need a lot more concrete and lot more road painting and that keeps jobs employed.

I don't know how you sell Columbus on the idea, I barely know how we sold ourselves on the idea, and I do know how much controversy it has been for some of the earliest streets to get put on such a "road diet". (Businesses looking at the plans complained that they'd lose a lot of car traffic and thus a lot of business. Results were mostly the opposite: slower median speeds meant more awareness of local businesses people were passing by. More dedicated street parking meant more people actually stopping at businesses. Slower median speeds, with sidewalks more protected by street parking and other furniture, also meant more pedestrian foot traffic, because they felt safer, something once long thought vanished never to return for some of these streets.)
Christian agrees, as he describes in the linked post. But the pricing and timeline are untenable.
Being kind involves using words like please. I was not snarky and if I came across that way I apologize. I am curious why people keep doing this even though I might not have conversed it that way.
I had caffeine in an IV before. I was going under for surgery, and the doctor asked are you a coffee drinker? I told him oh yes, I'm a huge coffee drinker.

When I woke up from the surgery, it was pretty weird. I was wide awake and alert very quickly. Never got a caffeine withdraw headache. It was awesome.
The cable monopolies are the robber barons of our time. Amazon, Google, Apple, Facebook, and, Microsoft all have competition. There is no real alternative to my cable internet provider. Satellite and 5G cellular are not effective competition and the old landline phone companies seem to have given up on expanding residential fiber.
We're in the chat cycle of the internet. We went through this with AOL chatrooms and IRC in the 90s as well. I'm not the most massive fan of chat in place of forums either but that seems the trend lately. Even on Reddit, a bunch of communities have Discords you can join. Maybe some new web forums will spin up, though it looks like much the software remains the same as it has been for a while.
Sure, in 10 years when DOCSIS 6 comes out and your local cableco finally gets D4.
> but I do think Apollo (and, by proxy, its users) will eventually have to pay Reddit something.

Apollo will never pay, because it's shutting down. It was always an option to monetize 3PA but Reddit decided not to.

Implementing a compiler has been an illuminating experience
I have been on a journey of studying compilers and despite only knowing some of the basics and despite writing only a few small compilers, my compiler studies have been illuminating. I feel like I have a much deeper understanding than I use to about the programming languages that I use and I am starting to visualize how high level programming constructs such as arrays, tuples, if statements, if expressions, loops, lexical scoped functions, tail calls, type checker get compiled to x86 which in turn has given me a better feel for how the cpu executes the compiled program. It has also been worthwhile because I have a better understanding of how memory is laid out in a process and how your high level program uses this memory.

I think compilers are really fundamental software systems.

I encourage you to build a compiler yourself. Its really fun
Yes, but all the high-value content on reddit is created by a minority of users. The people who moderate reddit are a minority of users. The issue for reddit is that these are the same people as your "loud vocal minority" who use third-party apps. You know, the ones that do the work generates Reddit's value in the first place.
> Sure, but there's also the value that the users create using these apps, and drive engagement to reddit.

This is what people said about third-party Twitter apps, yet all of those power users and brands are still there, except the ones who are ideologically opposed to Elon (and were leaving anyway). It doesn't really seem to have made a difference.
Guess on my part, but likely cost.

The cheapest egpu case I could find is 300 Euros and that's just the case with an internal PSU. You still need to buy an incredibly expensive GPU to put into it.

So now you're spending probably 1k just for the laptop, plus 300 for the case and an additional, let say, 350-400 on the GPU.
For that amount of money, most would probably look for good laptops that have an integrated one, buy a handheld, a console, or just don't want to spend that amount of money on it.
Honest question: do you think Apple is holding back the web?
Yeah. The wikipedia approach to an online platform seems ideal.

Wikipedia is pretty fantastic. Signal is pretty great. I'm pretty happy with NPR. Archive.org makes me happy.

Appeal to people with money (the professional class) and then beg.

I feel like the next great social media platform will result from a rich person disillusioned by reddit (a Bryan Acton type) creating a platform resistant to "next quarters profit"-ism.
Can't the tracking information just be stuck in the actual URL itself? Even in the domain name? So instead of amazon.de/product?affilate=hamhamed it would be something like hamhamed.amazon.de/product?

And if that won't work, just encode the entire url as amazon.de/2ec1a277-0c96-40d3-8fe1-e418fd82986d
There's recent research showing it's genotoxic in even moderate quantities: https://news.ncsu.edu/2023/05/genotoxic-chemical-in-sweetene...
Notably also PON networks, the predominant last-mile fiber tech, is also shared medium with splits afaik going as high as 1:128. So for example classic GPON/EPON with nominal 1Gbps capacity can mean possibly only <10Mbps per-subscriber bandwidth allocation.
I wouldn't pay 5x for that reliability increase.

And I blame the breaches on churn more than head count. And the 'getting in trouble' is generally because of the new things being added.
But yeah, all that doesn’t make the price still sting/stink and

costs seven times more
“

Is a fair criticism
It is the vastly superior app. That said, Reddit thinks it can get significantly more profit per user itself or it wouldn't be pricing the API so high Apollo had to shut down. I think they are laughably wrong, but they clearly don't see it as worthwhile vs whatever they are planning.
I just found this: https://www.silicon-line.com/copper-cable-limitations/

Seems like signal loss is requiring bulkier and bulkier cables or shorter and shorter distances for higher bandwidths.
From 2022: Running Tide is facing scientist departures and growing concerns over seaweed sinking for carbon removal:

https://www.technologyreview.com/2022/06/16/1053758/running-...

> At least several of the departures were due, in part, to concerns that the company’s executives weren’t paying sufficient attention to the potential ecological effects of its plans. Some employees were also disturbed that Running Tide was discussing more controversial practices, including adding nutrients to the ocean to stimulate macroalgae growth.
I enjoy the bug too. I’m just tired of people talking about ChatGPT as if it was a human or otherwise sentient being. That’s all.
Blimey watch what you share in your tweets man. It's not like we need to explain loud balancing to you?
That kind of "stability" is more accurately described as stagnation. It may protect workers in a narrow sense, but it also disincentivizes the kind of productive risk-taking that leads to business creation, innovation and overall societal increases in wealth. This type of worker protection scheme is what people tend to reach for because it's the first thing they think of and it sounds sensible, but it can really drag on society in the long-term.

A much more effective approach would be to make loss of employment not be a big deal, e.g. through stronger social safety nets. That way you ensure people's lives are financially stable but without introducing friction to efficient allocation of resources. Ideally, losing your job would be no more than a mild inconvenience - like having to buy a different brand of milk because your usual is out of stock. That ideal isn't realistically achievable, but we can at least try to get closer.
How so? It costs money to store & retrieve this content, at reddit scale (100m active monthly?). Ads clearly weren't paying enough of the bills, so what's the next best option?
Two quotes come to my mind.

1. From Marcus Aurelius, "The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts."

There's a lot of toxicity to the comments and opinions within the userbase of reddit. I remove that pool of thought from my lived life and arguably my happiness ought to increase.

2. From Epictetus, "It is the nature of the wise to resist pleasures, but the foolish to be a slave to them." I'll admit do a lot of mindless browsing on reddit. In the past I've used site blockers to block loading reddit for me and I'd have the muscle memory of cmd+t then typing in "old" to load reddit. That all too common doomscroll of post after post, reading comment after comment, still has a pronounced grip on me. It would serve me well to reclaim that time and my unconscious self away from reddit.

This APIgate honestly, in an entirely self-serving way I'm thankful for it. For it to give pause to reflect on my own relationship with reddit.

If they're doing this, old.reddit.com is on the chopping block too, might as well get ahead of that sooner than later.

I know this whole situation is doing a lot of harm and there's a lot hurt over for folks, especially financially, but I'll take this as an opportunity to grow.

Look at the features used in their classifier:

I'm also curious how they could possibly justify a single feature of

using hydrogen for transportation is the same as saying you ate healthy because you ordered a salad at Mcdonald.
Part of why the US working class has been so angry isn't just the economic misery but the decades of being gaslit by politicians pretending that outsourcing to countries with no OSHA, no EPA, no concerns about carbon emissions, no workers rights, no unions, and radically lower wages is going to create jobs in America.

It's a clearly absurd proposition on its face. Of course that's going to depress wages and destroy jobs, especially in manufacturing.

I'm all for free trade with other free countries with similar levels of rights for workers and concern for the environment. Outsourcing elsewhere should be taxed proportionally to the gap in these areas.

If you want a simple to implement solution, a tax on a combination of wage disparity and CO2 emission disparity would be enough to capture most of the relevant differences. The latter can be very objectively checked using satellite imaging.
Can't make decisions on what everyone else says. Drink what you want!
> I'm not sure who was on the other end of the call

He mentions that it was spez AKA Steve Huffman the CEO of reddit. The call really does sound amateurish and the joke/negotiation tactic/money request/??? was really unprofessional but Steve seems to have completely misconstrued the whole interaction and blown up at him. I would say this is worse of the CEO to use this to spread slander especially when he already apologised for misunderstanding Selig and then privately walked it back
On the flip side side, if Apollo users are much more active, Reddit will be worse for lurkers if Apollo users disappear.
Whatever. I don't want them tracking me for any reason. If that kills a bunch of startups so be it.
My tone is consistent because the people I'm talking to are fucking stupid and repeat the same lies over and over again.

This is from your previous post:

> In 2022, over $240 billion was invested in more than 680 global hydrogen projects, marking a 50 per cent increase in investments compared to the previous year.

Hence 50% YOY growth.

And if you understand exponential growth, you'd know that this is extremely fast and it can quickly catch up to whatever target you're dreaming of.

That is about one country's policy. And it was literally announced days ago, meaning that this is a regular occurrence globally. You are intentionally missing the point I was making. Like I said, this is a major current event and guys like you are demanding proof of a massive global event that everyone should be aware of.
I’m not following
The issue I have with a lot of these tools is they work fine when depicting relationships between tables in the same schema (talking mainly about PostgreSQL databases), but few support showing relationships between tables across different schemas.

Also, when the number of tables grows large, few have layouts arranged in an optimal way. I use D2 (https://d2lang.com/) to create ERDs. However, of the free layout engines available in D2, Dagre (https://github.com/dagrejs/dagre) and ELK (https://github.com/eclipse/elk) both don't have optimal placement of layouts for a sufficiently complicated database.
Apollo says they have 50K paying users. That seems pretty insignificant. And where else are they going to go? Twitter?
My argument is that we're probably going to kill the Gulf of Mexico, anyways, with global warming; so, let's go ahead and dump 34 gigatons/year of serpentine in it. That'll 0-out the CO2 we're releasing, at the cost of dramatically changing the Gulf's ecosystem. At this point, I really do think we (humanity) are going to have to make some pretty hard trade-offs.
That's entirely false. Case in point: the veto power. There are checks and balances built into the system. One of them is the supreme court's ability to rule on constitutionality.

And it's pretty clear that congress has pretty well abdicated its responsibilities...
Yeah last time it happened (on a scale which is hard to imagine we could achieve) it took a 800k years to reduce CO2 ppm by ~2850, this is a leisurely rate of 3.56ppm/1k years.

In my experience, some amount of sociopathic behavior among executives is not the exception, it's the rule.
I would love to see an external monitor with embedded GPU/extra CPU etc that would serve as an extension to a laptop, tablet, phone or stick. If such devices were popular enough in remote-first offices, coworkings and hotels, it would be a game changer making computing more inclusive. Imagine having a $100 laptop with easily replaceable components that is transformed into $1500 workstation on demand.

What Is a 'Dead Loop'?
Apparently it's a very important concept in compiler or driver design or implementation. I never heard it before. It's written in bright red as a warning on page 5 of https://llvm.org/devmtg/2020-09/slides/CIL_Common_MLIR_Abstraction.pdf and it was the key concept behind the patch that George Hotz didn't understand and thought was bad in https://youtu.be/Mr0rWJhv9jU?t=320 I tried to google it but I suck at googling because it kept wanting to tell me about the forbidden gymnastics trick instead https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korbut_flip
He comments on that in the post: It's not about the cost of running the servers, it's about the "lost revenue" on that user.

From the post:

> Me: "Because I assume the majority of it isn't server costs. I assume the majority is the opportunity cost per user."

> Reddit: "Exactly.""

Reddit's doesn't care about the $0.12, they care about the ads that doesn't get shown.
My sincere hope is that the poor non-Westerners will also be well air-conditioned. And yes, you are quite right that there is no free lunch. In my analysis, the opportunity cost of going all-in on degrowth and solar/wind is precisely that the global poor will remain poor.

I'm by no means advocating that we destroy nature for the fun of it! But if the alternative is between us destroying nature or nature destroying us, I know which side I'm going to pick.
The only thing I can think of as a negative is that it raises the bar for new players to join.

You already will have a very tough time hosting your own materials without using a major player as an intermediary. Emails in particular are far more likely to be blacklisted simply because they're not originating from a known approved source regardless of your DKIM, SPF, or DMARC settings. Adding that every new website has to be fully accessible to the visually impaired when on top of that there isn't a single collectively approved standard to measure yourself against would be an enormous hassle and stop a lot of new people from even being able to take a chance with starting a new website.

However, that is remediable with an approved standard to meet and clear guidelines on the processes that must be followed to meet them, so that's not as big of a deal as it can be made out to be.
Most of the ocean is desert lacking the limiting nutrients of nitrogen, phosphorous and iron. If we can cheaply fertilize large swathes of the ocean with these limiting nutrients in a controlled manner, then this could trigger massive algae blooms that on sinking sequester massive amounts of carbon.
This can clearly be seen as a covert ad - I'm not complaining, but if you were not doing it on purpose then consider doing so.

I find write-ups in technical articles/blogs by people who use stuff and find it valuable and can articulate why to be salient.

Do you have a wide enough group of users with such output that you could suggest such write-ups from without twisting their arms too hard? The border with edvatorial is grey, but it's worth considering.
Even if this is true it's a change.
Turns out Monsters are pretty healthy for you except for all the sugar.
It's about specialization. In JSON brackets have dedicated meaning. In scheme it's () galore. And () doesn't give me any meaning of what's actually there. Not that JSON or the Nix language is perfect, or even good, but this point makes it a lot better then a Lisp for me.

Essentially quickly scanning over lisp code doesn't give me any inclination about the structure at all, which I think is very important. I admit I haven't written a ton of lisp so maybe that's the problem.
Do you have sources to prove this?

I race motorcycles, I have a mechanical engineering degree and build race motorcycles, spent a lot of time researching motorcycle suspension dynamics to improve my systems and I think you’re basically making this up.

We can chat about it more, but I’d like to see your sources so I can see what you’re basing this on.
Technically they are warmers :)
Compared to A Tier cities in some Asian countries?

3. Fracking. Cheap, abundant energy which is uniquely close both to very educated labour pool and either the most navigable river basin in the world, or the ocean.

Saudi Arabia, Russia and other countries may have more oil than US, but it's too far from there places where it would be usable for manufacturing.
But wouldn't it be a carbon chain again in the seaweed without oxygen? So, we can ignore the weight of the oxygen? Still, the numbers are huge. But I think at this point we have try everything at once.
I'd wager you're completely wrong. Reddit at this point gets a ton of traffic from search. Remember the old 90/9/1 rule. 90% of users are just browsing cat pictures and are eyeball fodder for ads.
The claim still stands, given that in the same call Reddit immediately and openly admitted that they misinterpreted him, only to later turn around and lie about it.
Exactly, the mentioned components used are not impressive if at all. Guess what, almost all named brand laptop power supply has an Onsemi chip, the only difference is big manufacturers like Delta or Flextronics use customized Onsemi chips made for them.

What made it even more interesting is mentioning Weltrend in a marketing material, almost 50% of projects I used to work on include a cost down part to switch from TI chips to Weltrend or similar. Whoever wrote this material doesn’t understand what they really implies.
They're already doing it. I stopped clicking on links the second I realized this.
Wait? Is someone really planning to do it? I just read 'Termination Shock' and it was big plot point. Didn't think anybody would really do it.
You must have a very efficient house.
Once upon a time you could go to Reddit and skip the link because the top comment both summarized the article and gave poignant relevant commentary. Often times from someone that had professional knowledge in that field.
>> "The reversal of Reaganomics"

March 28, 1987:

"President Reagan decided Friday to impose punitive 100% tariffs on a wide variety of goods produced by Japanese electronic giants in retaliation for Tokyo’s failure to abide by the semiconductor trade agreement between the two nations"

-- https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1987-03-28-mn-698-st...

That Reagan?

50% tariffs are rookie numbers.
Nice.

China becomes less of a competitor on costs as wages rise there. Once the manufacturing wage differential gets into the 4:1 range, offshoring is less attractive. In the 2:1 range, offshoring starts to be a lose. That happened with Japan two decades ago.
If you think that you can obtain a permit to put such eyesore as a seaweed farm in front of Copacabana, well... good luck with it.

But we could of course build it in the middle of nowhere, and then spend lots of fuel to move the product to the far-far-away markets, and even feel good about our ecological trace for a couple seconds.
That's already happened; if that were the reason, they'd be trying to close the barn after the horses have already crossed into another state.
> The most straight forward way to do this would be to make doing the bad things more expensive, which means taxing carbon emissions.

Yes. This is the solution starting in 1990. It is too late now, for this to be the solution. It is a good idea, but.

We are going to have to shut down hole industries, and the owners will loose their investment. We are going to have to make a lot of very rich people, ordinarily rich.

This is very hard to do in a democracy.
