and i don't get why they can't sell ads in the third party apps. just send it down the feed and have a tos that you need to be feeding that to the users. cut the apps in on it if you think the apps won't game that(could tie the cut with something like clickthrough rate to successful conversion by whatever metric that is... might be impossible who knows).
Still it would be interesting to see it implemented. Sure it might be more limited in features compared to software encoders, but at least it could be an option when it's acceptable with software encoders being another one when more features are needed.

Adoption time is applicable to anything new(ish), so AV1 isn't really special in that sense. It's already close to reaching wide adoption in hardware, so it's progressing well.
Amazon and Apple are a bit different, but Nvidia and Microsoft are purely seen as 'AI' play (MSFT through Open AI) as far as I know. Google indirectly profits from that too.
This question is fundamentally flawed. People don't use Kotlin just as "a better Java" (maybe they did in 2017), Kotlin is an independent language that runs on the JVM, as well as other targets. Most Kotlin devs don't see Java and Kotlin in competition with each other or wish to use Java if it only had feature X.
The bar is more like "Coke can sue you for wearing a red shirt." That doesn't mean they'll win, but they _can_ sue you.
Precisely. Price individual account access at the same price that user would have generated with advertising MRR, but with a reasonable number of API calls/month to be used for when the user is browsing via a third party app. It's totally nutso that it's not their approach.
I love this essay. Anna Weiner's book Uncanny Valley has a great line about it as well:

The fact that you can go on reddit right now and enjoy it without all the annoying power users is only more reason to start visiting in my books. Hell I might even finally download the app.
your appeal for people to not read it made me curious enough to read it. why are you so scared?
Sorry that it took me so long to respond. I was wrong to over generalize to the EU. My personal experience is with countries around the Mediterranean and I maintain that while it may be available it’s not taken advantage of the way it is in the US.

I'm sure the shutdowns in India are "widely criticized" as well. Nobody went to prison for shutting down service and nobody even lost their job.

Client-side mute is a different feature than the blocking discussed here. They have both (Ctrl+F "mute", the second usage in the article). I am suggesting only having the client-side mute, not bothering with all this server-side blocking stuff which is loaded with caveats.

> “Mute” behavior can be implemented entirely in a client app because it only impacts the view of the local account holder. Blocks require coordination and enforcement by other parties, because the views and actions of multiple (possibly antagonistic) parties are involved.

Only having mute is still a bad outcome, it's just that it's the corner they've written themselves into here. Private blocks is the feature people actually want, and it's not possible with their architecture.

Ask HN: Economists, what would happen if the Fed inserted AI stimulus agents?
Imagine an AI agent that is given real money (accessed via a debit card, electronically).

What would happen if that agent intelligently spent the money to stimulate the real economy (ie, acquire real things) in the least wasteful way possible? Or asked another way, is there ever a case where stimulus alone (without any other productivity) yields more economic benefit than the liability of the stimulus itself?

And another question: what if that same AI agent not only spent money, but was also productive as well (eg, filed a tax return for me - saving me time without costing me a job). If that helps the productivity equation and makes the stimulus worthwhile, could the Fed scale up these agents to stimulate the economy, and scale them back down if growth were too high?

(For the purposes of this exercise, set aside that the Fed's legal mandate is not about growth, but about unemployment. If you really feel like arguing, let's say it's a new Office of AI Stimulus.)
Yeah that's one property you want, but "over the network" leaves me wanting a bit more

Haha, what was happening to you the past couple weekends is just part of the whole process - now that you've experienced that, and beyond to releasing your side project, you won't allow yourself to that as easily next time.

I get really OCD at times and to avoid that I started focusing on "most basic functionality" and forced myself to launch when that experience was possible - from there everything I get caught up in is still an improvement.

I've done exactly that tho and I well overcooked a project holding it back til I had it just right.

Hopefully you didn't hate the experience and your better for it.

I liked the idea of the site immediately - logos can really suck and this site is perfect when a logo doesn't really matter enough to spend time on.

I'm sure your very limited in scope by trademarks and copyrights but a little more variety would be great. Colors would be awesome - choosing 2-3 would be better, that's with everything the same.

More background images or use my own option. Seriously tho - not a bad start at all. Fantastic side project.

I had no issues with the UI and was plugging away almost immediately.

If I linked you to a 35,000 word essay on why you're wrong about this, would you read it? What if I told you it was generated by GPT-2? How much of it would you have to read before you could decide the rest wasn't worthwhile?

I think you're falling prey to the trap many engineers and scientists do, by assuming that they are ultimately capable of pure logical discussion and analysis, and that their biases are known and minimal - and that others can be seen in that light, too. In such a world, perhaps it would make sense to give Hitler a fair shake.

In our current world, I see us all as flawed little monkeys who can be pulled this way and that by provocative rhetoric and incomplete information. Dismissing someone's ideology completely because it was a central part of their campaign to kill millions is by far the logical and ethical choice. To do otherwise is intellectual hubris, IMO.

All this is, of course, in addition to the "there's a billion books out there, why does Hitler get to the top of the list? What about his life, ideas, or the summaries of his books makes you think that his ideas are any better than a million political blogs you have yet to read?"

I've used it for many years while living in Cuba: for 1 USD I could buy it and someone come home with an external HDD and let me copy it or I would visit them and copy it myself. It was/is our main source of information away from the national media propaganda that constantly bombard us.
The Cuban intelligence services quickly realize the threat of "El Paquete semanal" to bypass its communist censorship and infiltrated and threatened the main distributors to remove anything criticizing the government or news concerning what happens in Cuba. Currently is a shadow of what it was: just a collection of pirated movies, software, music and of course, infiltrated communist propaganda as well.

At a very far distance from any real familiarity with Postgres internals, it’s more than a little bit alarming to me that a RDBMS, which already offers strong concurrency guarantees and which already employs multi-process concurrency to do meaningful work, would even have “disaster” uttered in a discussion of a change to its higher level concurrency mechanics. Maybe that’s very naive and I’m very far out of my depth? Is Postgres concurrency really so close to the metal that it should even matter whether it’s operating between processes, threads, or some other shared workload abstraction?

> "Fundamentally, we've built our architecture around this shared memory model and that optimization, and so it's not entirely clear to me how you'd bring in another GPU and do so in a way that is optimized for our systems,"

So... why expose PCI lanes in the first place, then? "Optimization" isn't really an excuse, as long as you can saturate the PCI bus it should run smoothly. Some support would be better than nothing, especially if you're brave enough to pay $7,000 for a Mac Pro.

This whole thing is kinda baffling. Surely they haven't gotten rid of the multi-GPU address space support, they still support Intel/AMD systems after all.
There are various methods of getting and collecting judgments where it will be illegal to not pay, or at least illegal to not cooperate with collections.

The pricing for Reddit (as I understand it) is similar to the pricing for Imgur.

https://api.imgur.com/#commercial

> Your application is commercial if you're making any money with it (which includes in-app advertising), if you plan on making any money with it, or if it belongs to a commercial organization.

Otherwise your app (for all users) would fall under:

> Your use of the Imgur API is also limited by the number of POST requests your IP can make across all endpoints. This limit is 1,250 POST requests per hour. Commercial Usage is not impacted by this limit. Each POST request will contain the following headers.

The pricing is https://rapidapi.com/imgur/api/imgur-9/pricing (note that this is quite different than the pricing that Apollo claims to have)

$500/month for 7.5M calls/month and $10k for 150M calls/month

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/06/reddits-new-api-pric...

> Selig says Reddit wants $12,000 for 50 million API requests, while Imgur, a similar social media photo site, charges $166 for 50 million API calls. Selig says even if users were willing to pay out of pocket for the API costs, Reddit announced the new billing plan one month before it would take effect, and Selig says that's just not feasible for developers.

https://www.reddit.com/r/redditdev/comments/13wsiks/comment/...

> Our pricing is $0.24 per 1000 API calls

That puts it at about 3x more than Imgur's published rates.

For someone hacking together a moderation tool, I have done this (wiki updates) It means that my run to get data on a few hundred subs would cost me about a quarter. When I was in testing, I was only doing about 5-10 calls though on a sub that I managed so that it wouldn't go haywire somewhere else.

---

Consider the outrage where an API key is yanked (for whatever reason) with Twitter. Yanking an API key gets even more problematic if there is an existing business relationship.

You're also proposing that someone periodically audits the different reddit clients to see if they are displaying enough / all the ads and that there aren't any uber style shenanigans where if it is found to be coming from the IP block that Reddit owns it shows ads while certain users (who subscribed with a private non-apple subscription) aren't getting ads.

It is just easier to charge for an API.

And for an app that already has a monthly subscription ( https://apps.apple.com/us/app/apollo-for-reddit/id979274575 shows $5.99) available to it, to increase that rate to match the number of calls. If the average user is making 350 requests per day that's $10/month for the user, so update the subscription to $15/month ( https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213252 ). If the push notification server ( https://www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/9l3ema/apollo_13... ) is making an additional 600 requests per hour per user... that might need some scaling back or adding another tier (that's $15/day/user of API calls by itself).
The economy doesn't need stimulus right now and probably not for years to come
I have a feeling that once they turn off the old reddit UI option, it will be even much worse.
Fail fast. You'll learn real quick from failure - often far more than from success, at least in my experience.

It sucks, but creatively speaking, I think it's better to knock out a few failures early than to enjoy success for awhile and fail later.
OLPC also at times went with "some of the goodness here is the info, which we can distribute as HDD or CD and not as fetch it live" -So wikipedia and teaching materials do of course get revised but core competency knowledge overt in the older documents is rarely contradicted for maths, music, literacy, natural history, biology, chemistry to high school level.

Whats different in El Paquete Semanal is the "samizdat" quality. I don't generally like the John Perry Barlow "information wants to be free" but it seems plausible that when governments put barriers to information flow, people turn to mechanisms for information flow which do not align with those barriers.

I'm thinking about the number of satellite dishes in the middle east which moved indoors under RF transparent roofing materials, when governments banned dishes to control media access. Now, with Starlink: this might be a bypass to 2 way information flow.
yes. but the companies contributing code don't want to bother to do it right and simply use from user space the kernel real time primitives.

much easier to just add real time code and bugs in the kernel and clock out at 5. (byw, their code isn't even that real time)
If I’m reading the last chart correctly, the real wage is up by about a dollar and a half per week given the timeframe of June 2023 vs Jan 2020.

That doesn’t seem significant and if you look at the shape of the graph it’s trending down from the real wage gains during the height of Covid. December 2020 shows $398 per week while today shows $378 per week, so while it’s still above a pre Covid level of $376 I don’t think this is a good signal of recovery.
Yeah. Does H2G2 count?
