What you're describing is administration, not moderation. Very similar concepts, but there's an absolutely gigantic difference in the feel of a community with active moderation versus a site like YouTube where the overwhelming majority of all user-submitted content is never looked at by a single human with the ability to remove it. Often by design - an SMTP server does not have the same use cases as a forum board, and doesn't need the same kind of hands-on attention that a social service requires to be enjoyable.

In theory channel owners have the ability to handle that for YouTube specifically, but in practice the tools and incentives aren't there to make it actually happen.
To be fair almost all websites are a pain on mobile. My smartphone is becoming more and more a messaging app and alarm clock ._.
There may be an NDA involved. And staying on good terms with previous employers (or at least not burning any bridges) is generally a good idea regardless.
> God forbid poor people feel a sense of place, community, and pride in their hometown.

I agree with a majority of your comment, but I don't think this is what parent meant here. I have a similar gripe with a lot of the "this is our neighborhood" arguments I hear online and elsewhere as parent. People seem to simultaneously claim membership/ownership in a community as well as estrangement.

I think everyone should feel a sense of pride/community where they live. However, if they don't feel that, it's also the community's fault, not Airbnb's. Providing an opportunity to people is not what changes a community for the worse, it's how the community chooses to use it.
Except part of their 'value prop' is "We have this giant trove of human created content, and AI companies need to start paying us to utilize it when training their models".
It's basically a wiki with well under a terrabyte of data total and a billion requests a month (modest load in the grand scheme of web apps). It runs on less than 10 servers (https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/stack-overflow-st...). It's kind of bonkers to have hundreds of engineers supporting a handful of servers.
That happens all the time. It just isn't newsworthy.
That's great that you get something out of being in the office.

I really wish the powers that be would put some data to this. You and I are complete opposites; paying exhorbitant rent, transportation, and living costs usurped much of the enjoyment I could get out of going to an office. I build infra products and in an office setting I usually get a lot of interrupts because product folks generally lack some amount of knowledge/background to fill in gaps on how to use products like mine. When I'm remote they have to follow a support queue, read docs, learn more about infra basics, and attend talks on infra. When I'm in person they can just stop by my desk.

My hypothesis is that folks who like going into an office generally fall into a couple categories:

- people who get/enjoy a substantial amount of social interaction out of work and work adjacent activities

- people who work on public facing products who don't have many internal customers

- people with disruptive home environments

The thing that upsets me is that we're being treated the same and that most of this is to save face for their real estate investment. Not to mention all the half-truths/gaslighting about the universalness of productivity.
CVE-2023-2283 – Client authentication check bypass in libssh
> At a time when most information comes to us for free online (with strings attached, of course), it's easy to have sticker shock at the $1,199 retail price for the 2023 edition of World Book, although shoppers might occasionally find it for as low as $799 on Amazon (to compare, the online subscription costs $250 per year)

I understand that there is some economy of scale issue. (I would expect them to have very few buyers) But this price is hard to justify. Does it cost $949 to print and ship, when comparing the online edition to the physical edition?
Great anecdote, thanks for sharing. Forcing ChatGPT to go back and sense check its overarching initial interpretation is such a good way of doing things in these types of uses cases.
I feel compelled to mention here the 1987 film "The Man Who Planted Trees", which is essentially a 30 minute minute long animated painting with a story. Blew my mind when I first saw it.

It should about the same as uPython. There is a few more tricks we can play due to whole program compilation but I don't think we take advantage of that yet.
The apt part of the comparison is, since the 50s the use cases for AI has been obvious and clamored for, and is sufficiently revolutionary its difficult to even imagine all of the use cases, but very easy to imagine some. Its much closer to electricity -- it will likely change just about everything about how we go through life. And most people are keenly aware of that.

... AR / VR may have the same promise. But the implementation is sufficiently far away, that most people look at it and think "Wow, really cool toy. I don't have a use for it right now", and walk away. They'll be back if / when that tipping point arrives, but unlike ChatGPT, its not here, not yet.
There are definitely places where you can fit into such a role, but you need other people you're working with to do the grunt work and make sure you're aligned with what matters to the org.

If you don't have somebody doing that, you risk being stuck on dead-end projects or working on code that doesn't align with business needs, which can put you at risk when it's layoff time (fairly or not).

So even if it's not you doing that part, somebody has to, and if that "somebody" is also fully remote they'll probably have a tougher time navigating everything themselves, which means they're less likely to keep you focused on high visibility, valuable, and successful projects.
> "Our early analysis of performance data suggests that engineers who either joined Meta in person and then transferred to remote or remained in person performed better on average than people who joined remotely," Zuckerberg wrote in a statement in March.

I'm still waiting for the fucking data Zuck.

None of these CEOs "have the data" about remote work, or they would beat us over the head with it over and over. I would be seeing graphs and pie charts all over the financial press.

It's 3 years and nothing. Every employee should be demanding this data as proof before setting a single foot in an office.
The best solution would be a tool that copies and then deletes, and makes the copy easy to post in your own forum. Best of all worlds: no reliance on central authority, and the data is still available.

Personally I think it's healthy for there to be a big push toward non-centralized social media.
What a shame :(.

I think the only machines I might have access to (again) in the future are also all Explorer Is ("Sperry" OEM-labeled). These are currently 2000km away, but I hope we can move at least one of the machines and get it to work again.

Do you think the ROM from the MicroExplorer version of the IC would be useful for the emulator? I think the designation of the chip was different from the one used in the Explorer II, but I suspect the two might still be quite closely related. A MicroExplorer might be a bit easier to find in a working condition...

Update (x2, I didn't find the EPROM originally): a MicroExplorer ROM dump is available at bitsavers [1] - 64 kB in size. However, this seems to be a dump of the TMM24512F EPROM on the PCB [2]. The EPROM doesn't seem to contain 68k machine code, which I would have expected in a regular NuBus card ROM, so perhaps this version of the Explorer chip booted from the external PROM?

IANAL, but I'm curious:

Suppose that deep-pocketed AI companies were paying Reddit, Stack Overflow, etc. to make it harder for other AI upstarts to access those data. I.e., to build a mote by denying competitors access to previously accessible data sets.

Would that violate antitrust laws in various major markets?
How can you ban AI? It's literally designed to produce text that's indistinguishable from text that was produced by a living human being.
>When she saw the large photo of a shark spread across the spines of the 22 volumes, she frowned and said, "I don't want to see a big-ass shark every day when I walk in the room."

I've got to be honest, reading this I went through a similar range of emotions as the author: Surprise that a print encyclopedia still exists, curiosity about it, and a nibbling desire to buy one. But I gotta agree with his wife: I don't want a huge shark photo on my bookshelf. It seems like an odd thing to force on a $1200 purchase, especially when it could easily be put on dust covers that could be removed to leave a more austere, proper looking reference book.

This uses the API and will stop working when that goes away, correct? This presents an interesting dilemma to those of us who are planning to leave if the planned changes go through.
While I don't disagree completely with what you are saying, the form is lacking... emotional outbursts, ad-hominem attack.

What will be or won't be will only time show, Apple had made flops too but managed to correct their mistakes. Now we have 0 concrete evidence. Let's compare real devices and their usefulness when they are on market, shall we?

Ah, good point. If this is the case, yeah, shred away. Still it's too bad that this greed will make it harder for humans to see useful old discussions.

Depends on which part of the community you're talking about. Many of the top-voted comments on some of the "sub blacking out" threads were to the effect of "TIL that there are third party apps." [0]

That part of the community is the part that Reddit probably wants to preserve, and that part could very easily see an AMA that appears to clear everything up and then get mad when their sub moderators go ahead with the blackout anyway.

Hard-delete isn't required by GDPR. The data itself just has to be made non-identifiable. You don't actually have to remove the database records, for instance.
Good comments on that article, a snippet from my favourite:

No.

Pardon my language but there's a well known quote very appropriate for this question:

"You there: F*ck off. And when you get there, f*ck off from there too. Then f*ck off some more. Keep f*cking off until you get back here. Then f*ck off again.”
That entity delegated responsibility before you ever posted. That you didn't care back then doesn't matter: it's always been this way.
I've done both of these (on dirt and ice). "A lowside crash is usually less damaging than a highside crash" is one hell of an understatement. With a lowside and wearing the right gear you might end up a bit dizzy from tumbling, with a highside you are launched into the air and as soon as you land you have your entire 200 kilogram bike tumbling towards you. I've been lucky and been uninjured every time but you can really picture a lot of damage being done by having the thing land on top of you, even if you dont hurt yourself when you hit the ground
Here it is, from a French article:

> Les loueurs de meublés touristiques classés (de 1 à 5 étoiles), comme Airbnb, bénéficient aujourd’hui d’un abattement forfaitaire de 71 % jusqu’à 176 200 euros de recettes, contre 50 % pour les meublés classiques, et 30 % pour les locations vides dans la limite de 15 000 euros de loyers.

Basically if they don't make a ton of money they can deduct 71% of gross revenue (otherwise they deduct expenses and depreciation, which is probably less than 50%). I suspect this was put in place way back to encourage gîtes (b&bs), which are popular in France.
So the main benefit for me in going into the office, besides the psychological boost of being outside of the house, is that I often learn things about what is going on that I wouldn't have learned otherwise because they never rose to the level of, "we better should tell him". Instead, I'd just over-hear it, or there'd be a group on-the-fly conversation happening, and someone would mention it. Sometimes those things were rather important, and the only reason it wasn't brought to my attention by the people who knew it, was because they didn't know how important it was.
Much of the value in Reddit isn’t “what’s happening now” but in that trove of information gathered over the last ten years. Reddit is a primary source of information because of that trove. Engagement numbers will obviously suffer if Reddit drops out of search results.
I mean isn't the punishment his livelihood? And whoever's livelihood when someone looks under the hood and they realize a lot of people (not just lawyers) are doing this all over the place?

And everyone thinks they're too smart to get caught...until they aren't..
It's not about length of time but a show of how much support the communities have for each other.

48 subreddits going dark for 1 day is more of a statement than 1 going dark for 48 days.

The mods know many people rely on their communities for a multitude of reasons - mental health support, technical support, mentoring, etc.
No, that's just wrong. It's totally fine to put scrappy code up to get a product going, but that time has long since passed if you're already at a scale to have dedicated managers.

At that point you're likely going to cause more damage to the brand/corp with the half-assed implementation then the value you're providing with said code.
It takes quite a bit of forethought to do something that hurts users of an app without hurting the owners of the app. The experience you're describing is part of the point and it's bad for the owners of the app.
When I was in high school, they installed the first generation of smart boards. The resolution and quality of pen input was quite mediocre. But it solved an actual severe problem for teachers and students. Back then we used sponges to clean boards but this can lead over long period of time to skin diseases. Furthermore, the sound of chalk on a board was torture. An alternative would have been those smooth boards but they get really hard to clean over time and pens seem to be always empty. Lastly, you actually get to the material from previous lessons and can even upload them. I think those smart board need to be iterated on more. If displays are to difficult to repair, maybe e-ink paper might be an option in the future.
Everyone works different, but that decision (to have scheduled 1:1 or not) should probably be discussed between the two in a frank tone. Trying to rationalize for/against miss the difference of needs.

Someone I manage explicitly came and asked for a weekly 1:1 meeting, because it was hard for him to stay focused or productive without it and indeed his productivity went up after introducing it.

Me and my manager have no scheduled 1:1 but it works well. I think I'm also the type of person that scheduled 1:1 would work well, because we tend to have 2-3 1:1 per week anyway when things are remote and we need to be in sync or brainstorm ideas and meta-issues.

But with my previous manager, scheduled 1:1 didn't lead to anything except "you're doing fine".

If someone is not sure if would be useful, one can always try for a short time and then talk if it's helpful or not and change it accordingly.
I'm not sure if you're being entirely serious but I disagree. HN is special because while it's a popular (relatively speaking) social media site, it's also run by a company that isn't in the social media business. YC is not concerned with how to make HN revenue generating, they just want to push people to where the real money is made for them: their startup accelerator.

With that said it's in YC's best interest to keep users happy, only change what is requested and generally keep the status quo. Unfortunately for a company like Reddit that is a social media site and has to make money with their social media product, keeping users happy at all costs is not in their best interest (though that has yet to be seen).

Good luck using a DualSense or other standard controller to play Beat Saber, which is the topic of this comment thread.

You will need tracked individual-hand controllers with haptics. And you need the game to recognize and use that as the input and properly provide haptics to the right controller. That requires actual platform integration to work, which clearly won’t exist at launch if there’s no first party controllers to support it.

Not that any of this has anything to do with whether Beat Saber is an exclusive or not.
Wow, that is very detailed!

> In the 80's the encyclopedia filled the same niche that a smartphone does for me now.

I took this to mean the niche is "learning something interesting in a short amount of time" not "killing a short amount of time" so to me the OP implied they were using the smartphone to learn and not browse TikTok.
Or the very simple human intelligence factor: "It says you swiped your badge every day this week but nobody seems to remember seeing you around the office"
Given that this seems to happen all the time without antitrust issues it probably wouldn't, even though I feel like it should.

What we need is a legal way for companies to keep the data open, but also require OpenAI and friends to pay them for it.

> You can't get an IMAX screen for cheap

> What if you could take the 30" display or multimonitor setup

The issue is VR doesn’t provide this either. Yes, it can provide screens the same size or larger, but IMAX currently provides 8K or higher resolution, my three monitors are each 4K, and even the screens in the Vision Pro can’t match that level of detail or fidelity regardless of how big the virtual screens are.

It’s the same reason people didn’t buy gigantic TVs back when the resolution was 480p or lower, bigger alone is not better, especially when combined with the problems you documented.

I say this as someone who uses VR regularly and has bought two headsets so far. I do agree that in the future the tech will probably reach a point it’s able to provide image quality that’s good enough and solve all of its negative factors. It’s also possible the Vision Pro reaches the necessary bar, no one has really tried it yet. But for the normies VR just hasn’t reached a compelling level yet.
People say Arch is stable. Yes, it's stable until some nasty unexpected thing like the grub issue happens. Even though I'm willing to fix issues, I don't want to fix things accidentally when I need my PC to work.
> people who think that a city or neighbourhood is "theirs" just because they happen to live there for a long time — without actually owning anything.

Are you saying that only owners can decide what happens on a given neighbourhood? This is a really narrow way to define a community: suddenly people who do not own become second-class citizens.

> While Airbnb violated local laws, I haven't seem them violating laws that I would ever consider moral or justified.

That is not how local laws work. They are contextual, not absolute. And they are definitively not written while thinking "would golergka think this is _cool_?".

Good advice for any site. It's not like HN is immune to astroturfing.
Post civil war, there was concern that Canada would be manifest destinied. Britain was somewhat supportive of the CSA and Alaska was purchased in 1867 so there were reasons to think they were next.

Well, one clear thing about GPT4 that isn't intelligent is that it doesn't learn in situ. Knowledge has to be added to it via an external process. The prompt does allow it to condition further output based on "new" information but that isn't learning. Another thing GPT4 has trouble with is generalizing knowledge. While it is certainly able to generalize to a degree (more or less it is able to apply patterns in the training data from one domain to other domains) if you ask it to generalize to things not well represented in the training data but nevertheless obvious from the conceptual underpinnings thereof it fails. I see this frequently with complicated functional/function level programming. GPT4 gets hopelessly confused when you ask it about non-trivial functions which return or manipulate other functions, even though conceptually there is nothing confusing about it and, in fact, if you ask it about functions as first class objects, it can answer with reasonable text.

Thus, GPT4 can appear to have knowledge in the sense of generating text indicating such, but fail to use that knowledge. This is the most compelling indication to me of limited or total lack of intelligence. I believe that the vast majority of GPT4's "capabilities" amount to memorization and permutation, not the formulation of accurate models of things.
Do you think that reddit actually deletes comments when the user presses delete? My assumption would be that it just sticks up a "do not display" flag in the database. I'm sure that there's some influence that GDPR has though.
It's not a matter of "wannabe", it's "wannado". Having a bunch of sycophants in the sidebar isn't going to restore a community unless they're actually committed to making the subreddit an enjoyable place to be, and if they were committed to that they'd already be doing it.
Imho, you cannot expect to have a conversation if you don't put the minimum amount of required effort to understand what it's being talked about.

Throwing in wild ideas maybe works when you know what you're talking about and want to get people to think ouside the box, but does not work when you don't have a clue and expect people to explain things to you and to find a solution to your wild ideas.

> I imagine truck people are mostly practical

Ha - I live in an area with a ton of these behemoths. 19 times out of 20 there's no cargo in the back, and the owner is using them as an expensive gas guzzling grocery shopper. The modern "crew cab" also takes half the cargo / tailgate space now. So you get an awkward SUV or van without any weather protection for cargo.

Modern American pickup trucks are all flash (a tough, hardworking image) and no substance.
