There is a huge relief in being able to let go of everything on social media accounts. Starting fresh, deleting (at the time) my 11 year old reddit acc felt great. It was stupid of me to stick to old comments on various subreddits. Did the same to twitter recently and my online habits have felt better than ever since ditching those two sites.
I can download a Windows ISO, doesn't make it free and open for me to start shipping products. Just because they've got some files on a website doesn't make it an actually open standard.

This makes sense as Ford just adopted Tesla's NACS (North American Charging Standard) and GM would logically follow. We can now assume that the charging industry is disrupted by Tesla's NACS. Existing EV charging companies for ex. EVGO would need to upgrade all their chargers to adopt Tesla's connector.

Currently none of the existing chargers, if it all, work with Teslas. The worst thing of this all Tesla would start selling chargers to networks and only moat existing charging companies have is the 10-15 years leases they have on charging sites.
because they let a lot of people go and the computer job market today isn't the computer job market 1-3 years ago. They have the power to do it and find someone to replace you, and they want to, and everything else "community" etc is all corporate double speak.
If something runs in less time, it's faster. If something runs in 1/10th the time as something else it is multiple orders of magnitude faster. I don't think I've ever seen someone try to redefine 'faster' before.

You keep trying to equate naive algorithmic complexity and speed, but you haven't even linked anything that shows heapsort is better than other sorts like quicksort at that. You haven't actually linked anything to back up any of what you're saying, even the irrelevant offtopic claims.
On the same order of magnitude, but not quite. Plus, the second figure is from four months ago.

Your experience matches mine, where yeah, it could work even in situations where it commonly fails if there was "just" better management... but... well, yeah.

EDIT: and so many of the challenges people are running into now are not new, either - companies were incentivized to make remote work work for two decades pre-Covid, and for a while pundits were all convinced that software jobs were all going away overseas as a result, but despite the salary savings the ROI just wasn't there for all but the most basic of work.
Hard to convince advertisers to cough up real money for an audience of Russians and impoverished rednecks.

To continue with the analogy, yes, you can study various ways to kill a variety of mammalian lifeforms with a lawnmower.

And I’m sure you can get an LLM to exhibit the same kind of psychopathic behavior with the right kind of encouragement.

But if you’re trying to get an LLM to write software or create marketing copy none of these “techniques” are going to help.

There’s no conversation going on with an LLM. There is just a single history of a conversation followed by the most likely response.
All of his school work is top notch and delivered on time. He's helpful and kind to his classmates. I'm just not getting a strong senior signal for him. Perhaps it's a behavioral issue?
I’m not saying it’s small. I’m sayin most of it is easily replaceable content-wise. My hypothesis is that NSFW communities (what’s hard to replace) are a relative small fraction of all NSFW subs.
The EU and the US having different charging plugs, as one major issue.
I think it's relatively well known that heads of people/whatever fancy name HR peeps come up with for themselves are generally sociopathic scumbags, so it's not surprising to me that this was the case.
Sure, the concept has been explored; for example see the classic 2015 Karpathy's http://karpathy.github.io/2015/05/21/rnn-effectiveness/ as a cool description of a character-level model.

IIRC the early papers on subword tokenization also sometimes included explicit comparisons with character-level models, but people don't do it nowadays because there's a clear consensus on the expected outcome - yes, it works, but it's simply worse.

Technically it's the exact outcome that you get if you put in a vocabulary size of 256 (and do tokenization on byte-level, not unicode), so it's just an extreme case of vocabulary size choice, and there's enough research on how vocabulary size affects stuff to assume that 256 is not an optimal size.

You can do it for exploring capabilities though - see "Bytes is all you need" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36176756 discussion on trying to abstract away complex file formats by just passing the bytes of the file to the neural network directly - again, it obviously works worse, but it kind of works.
I think it is important to separate free trade agreements between highly developed nations and under developed nations. For example, when NAFTA was enacted, Canada was already very rich (like the US), but Mexico was much poorer than both. It was pure labour arbitrage on both parts.

With the downfall of Reddit, the best thing to do might be to beg the powers that be to opensource HN (is it already open source?) with all of the anti-abuse and moderating considerations gutted out.

Reddit itself is basically a syndicator of what used to be old forums.

Probably be pretty trivial to self host something for devops.
Yeah, IIRC r/pics (a "default sub" back when that was still a concept) tried to do a blackout but came back on with similar accusations that the admins intervened.
I'm curious if you've considered that there is a pretty major cost difference between the two options? (at least for the company) Would you conclude that In Person is much better , in excess of the additional costs ?
I don’t think that is as much an issue as all of the potential issues that would be dragged up by discussing any of the questionable or explicitly illegal content hosted on Reddit. The first time anyone ever saw a Reddit mod was seeing an adult man argue it was ok for him to moderate a subreddit consisting solely pictures of underage girls titled jailbait.
Reddit can pay mods, just like every other social network does. Not rocket science, and if they did it just for the top ones, wouldn't cost that much.
Just because you don't agree with something doesn't make it not true.

Your "32 days" timeline you keep going on about is false no matter what way you look at it.

Apollo has known since April API pricing was coming, and there was no way their existing "pay once, use it forever" or even the $12.99 per year model was going to be sustainable - particularly given how many free users they float monthly.

Not knowing the exact fee in advance is completely irrelevant. The infrastructure needed to be built to support a monthly subscription model, freemium models, or whatever they needed to do to pivot and remain in business.

100% of the reason people use Apollo is because of the data and community Reddit has built. Apollo basically leached off that data, and made a profit while doing so. Any sound business operator would understand and plan for risks that endanger their business. Apollo failed to take action in a timely manner, and failed to mitigate risks to it's business.

Now they're being asked to pay for the API access that makes Apollo's business possible - and even if the API fees were 1/4 of the proposed amount, Apollo was going to need to change their model. That is the point you, and many others seem to be missing - Apollo was not going to survive paying anything for API access - Apollo had no plan.

I cannot make it any more clear - Apollo failed to plan for, and mitigate risks and failed to take corrective actions in time to save their business.

Apollo was run like a hobby side-project - not a business.
I don't think anyone is incapable of installing Arch, unless unwilling means incapable (or if that person is in a situation where they're prevented from installing it). Here's the installation guide: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/installation_guide. If you're a total newcomer to linux, you have to be willing to spend say, six hours, slowly going through the installation, carefully reading the guide, sometimes going back a step. If you're someone who's installed a distro before, it'll probably take less than 45 minutes. Unwilling is not incapable. The only prerequisites for installing Arch are a desire to use Arch and the good sense to Google "Arch installation guide".
Lots of people are too shy or anxious to break perceived consensus or even just to challenge a "stronger" personality in person. Put them in a chat room and they get all fired up.
To put it in terms HN might understand:

For moderators, the switch from being able to use third party clients to being forced to use the official reddit client would be like a programmer being told their favorite IDE/text editor can no longer be used for code, and you'll have to get used to notepad or something.

Existing code? Fine! No problems, you can run it like normal. Writing new code? I'm not so sure you will have nearly as many developers willing to work in that ecosystem. Third party applications are part of the core moderation loop of pretty much every subreddit that operates at scale, and depriving those moderators of the tools they use will be to the detriment of the quality of the site.

People saying this won't change much probably haven't tried to moderate at scale using only first party tools. It sucks.

I would say get creative to address the issues:

- Turn the non-room areas into coworking spaces with nice art and design. Fresh flowers are relatively cheap and make a space look nice.

- Bring in cafes, art shops, and anything to bring foot traffic, including art studios.

- Turn the rooms into a shelter with 2 double bunk beds per room. That's enough space to house ~12000 people.

If this is successful, I wonder how long it would be before we see a cat that is born with ears that look like they are clipped as it would be a pretty big reproductive advantage.
Hey, accountability you were saying?
I never cease to be amazed at the extent to which knowledge workers want to make "replace us with Eastern Europeans/Latin Americans/Indians" as painless a drop in as possible.
I see advertisements as payment for information, and people should have rights to disseminate information. If I want to pay for information to be shown to users, that should be my right.

I prefer advertisements because they can be obvious and labeled as such. Apple's changes here are moves by one advertising company (Apple) to control the flow of other advertising companies' information. It's a monopolistic move that gives them an unfair advantage in advertising, just like their SKAN solution did in mobile, leading to a huge increase in advertising revenue for Apple.

Consumer's are told by Apple that this is to 'protect their privacy' when in fact, it does not protect privacy. This is a targeted move by Apple to consolidate their position in the advertising ecosystem.
This makes sense as Ford just adopted Tesla's NACS (North American Charging Standard) and GM would logically follow. We can now assume that the charging industry is disrupted by Tesla's NACS.

Currently none of the existing chargers, if it all, work with Teslas. The worst thing of this all Tesla would start selling chargers to networks and only moat existing charging companies have is the 10-15 years leases they have on charging sites.

Another thing I haven't seen mentioned in comments is that CCS standard is owned by BMW and they charge $50 patent fee on each connection.
I see these and I say "oh yeah, that Antarctica blog that I tell everyone about."

I have always loved reading about people who live in extreme environments. It's also a great topic in science fiction.

Not sure how to explain my attraction to these stories, but as someone who lived for many years in the San Luis Valley ( https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/149599/san-luis-val... ) it's easy to relate.
Yes. The total I quoted was on all covid deaths. If one is fine with killing twice the number of people if it happens fast, I guess you are correct.

There is absolutely a benefit.

What is painful is when one venue has a length limit of 6 pages and the next has a limit of 5 pages (plus one page for references), but when you port the paper from one Latex template to the other it explodes to 8 pages because of formatting.

In all cases, what they want and what you have is "a short paper" but you're going to have to take several hours out of your life and probably make some meaningful changes to the content.

What would be best is if publishers could come together and harmonize their requirements to the extent possible.
On the other hand, Google encourage underperformed employee to show up for improving review score.

If they does well, remote work are acceptable since they has some additional score to be deducted?

I guess it means there will have many underperformance co-workers in office?
I paid for Boost on Android, but the value proposition of a food third-party client is more clear to me than Reddit itself ironically. I get an extremely small amount of tangible value from Reddit, so little that I prefer to rack up an arbitrary amount of Karma and then delete my account periodically, which sort of resets my relationship with it. Most of that Karma is just shit posting.
Perhaps people who mostly browse small subreddits through the default client are spared from the current drama. The front page of reddit feels very different from the rest of reddit.

I suspect those small subreddits will continue for a while.
>so I do wonder what the primary forces working against it might be.

Extreme corruption, lack of rule of law, extreme violence to name a few. Mexico is basically a failed state: the government doesn't even control large parts of the territory it claims, ultra-violent drug cartels do. How is that a good place to build factories?

Other central American counties are at least as bad. El Salvador has a higher death rate from violence than war-torn Syria during the height of its civil war.

Countries farther south would be much better bets, but they still have huge problems with corruption. Brazil, Chile, Peru, etc. aren't nearly as bad, and do have their own manufacturing industries (Brazil is home to Embraer, for instance).
The difference between my car with a minutely smaller charging door is like maybe an ounce or two in weight. We're not even talking pounds. On a vehicle that weighs a few thousand pounds and will vary several hundred based on how many passengers are in it.

Shaving a few ounces isn't going to make a difference in range. With EVs, even adding a hundred pounds or two isn't changing the range that much. You get a ton of it back in regen so the vast majority of energy usage is rolling resistance (which a few pounds isn't changing) and aero drag (no weight difference at all).
I mean I’d rather not use Reddit than use the official Reddit app. The “there’s nowhere to go” argument only works up to a point where doing nothing is perceived as more desirable than continuing on.

I will say, I think Discord could benefit from this. They have a forum like product and any subreddit trying to migrate has already been having this discussion. The overlap of users is insane.
Yes. Brainstorming is better done by

1. Brainstorming questions, not ideas (then go answer them)

2. Soliciting responses anonymously and quietly. This avoids both hierarchical biases and "Loudest person wins" bias. And not to excessively disparage verbal processors (I am one myself). But it's important for them to realize that the constant talking can drown out others' thinking, or their sharing, or their will to live.
Maybe, but I've never seen anyone with such a proposal serious about giving enough money to run great transit everywhere.

By everywhere I include farms in the middle of nowhere as that farmer has a relative somewhere who wants to visit and the lack of great transit pushes that person to a car and then opposing transit subsidies. By getting some money from riders there is at least some inventive to make good compromises.
Yes, they did. And yes, like you, it should have been obvious to everyone involved.

Yet for some reason, the Twitter client devs (who had happily shifted all their users to a subscription-only model) all of a sudden realized that they had sold a bunch of one year subs they had sold were going to be useless as soon as Twitter turned off the API and, more pertinent to their pocketbooks, all those customers would be entitled to request and receive a refund through the App Store for their now non-functional app. The devs started whining to their customers about being “small businesses” and having the food snatched out of their families’ mouths and why would anyone be so cruel as to seek a refund?

Christian is showing a hell of a lot more integrity and toughness than the Twitter client authors.

have you tried using reddit's own app? they couldve bought Apollo for $10m and made that the official app. lol
No arguments from me on any of those.

No hard feelings, but I feel your reply was a bit unnecessary? Did you read my comment and think I felt that a Discord server was actually... separate from Discord, the company?

I wrote my post on HN, for an audience of people who understand that stuff already.

What I meant is, for most purposes, a Discord server "feels independent enough" for most people. Yes, your data lives on Discord's servers and they could yank the plug at any moment. You don't actually own anything. Again, I wrote my post with the assumption that HN readers are knowledgeable about such things.

Is there something like phpbb or vbulliten but with threaded comments? Reddit's comments experience was pretty nice at the time. Information dense. Same as this site
> respecting the "Type 1"- and "Type 2"- form, as commonly used in the U.S. and
the EU, respectively.

That's likely reference to Combo 1 and Combo 2 in CCS.

CCS Combo 1 and J1772 support single phase (i.e., North American) AC power. CCS Combo 1 is J1772 plus two large DC pins.

In Europe they use multi-phase power and so they don't have J1772, instead they use a connector colloquially called Mennekes. Thus they use CCS Combo 2 which is a Mennekes connector plus two large DC pins.

In order for Europe and US to adopt the same connector, the US would likely have to switch to Mennekes because I believe it can support single, two, or three phase AC.

Or more likely this would require the US to adopt CCS Combo 1. But I fail to see how that would benefit manufacturers because they'd still be supporting two CCS connectors.
If you spend the same amount in US as France (milk _is_ more expensive in France), is the quality the same? This comment only seems to confirm that cheaper milk will be worse.
same here. once old.reddit is gone, im gone as well
A few years ago I had a copy of visicalc.exe sitting around on a USB drive. It runs fine on whatever version of Windows I had back then - Win7 or newer. For all I know, the same executable still runs on Windows 11.

It's definitely not fixed, I'm currently watching a couple of small threads on minor subreddits with comment counts increasing but not visible.
> The anti-federation argument has always been that centralized entities have the resources to make a better product.

This seems like half the argument. The other half of the argument is that you could build a federated system of similar efficiency where everybody notifies/queries a central hub decided by convention.

The important-ish distinction is that you don't need as many resources (for polling) if you can generate enough trust that ~everyone is willing to push to you.

(I don't want to get up my own ass here, so to my mind the only thing that matters about "having enough resources to make a better product" is that you have all the content, presumably by crawling the entire network on shorter intervals than anyone else.)
I don't even think it's true. Mods are cheaply replaceable, it's just an expedient dependency right now but not a necessity for them.
