>The web experience is much better.

Right, which is why they should shut down the web site and instead force users to install an app (including on PCs). If they believe that strongly in users being required to use an official app, they should force this everywhere.
I have the exact same problem and have been working on my own one. Annotation is horrible.
Looks like yours is great. Congrats on shipping.
Carrington event is very similar to EMP. The main difference is that solar flare lasts long enough to affect the whole world.

The main effect is that it induces currents in long conductors. These days, that is mainly electrical wires. This causes wide scale power outages. The big problem is may damage transformers which are hard to replace. Things in house should be okay, but some might be damaged if not on surge protector. Electronics won’t be touched at all.
Personally I'm enjoying the return to the "older" kinds of social media. I quite like the ones that are just a text forum with threads focused around a broad topic that everyone in that community is passionate about.

I'm struggling with it, but I'm also trying out IRC. From what I can tell there are still a lot of active IRC users on Libera.
The advantage of a local storage is a ruggedized recorder will not need to maintain any sort of wireless com link, as it’s stored on the physical unit. If you introduce any number of factors such as in-air separation of the aircraft, trauma to any sort of connection, or just random stuff that will occur during a crash, the antenna (which will need to be mounted outside the aircraft) is very likely break or become disconnected.
Show HN: Fly.io Lemmy
Like many others, I'm migrating from reddit to Lemmy. I figured it would be more fun to host a Lemmy instance myself, but I don't want to manage uptime on a VPS... and Kubernetes seemed a little too heavy for the task at hand.

So, I wrote a tool that lets you quickly create a Lemmy instance on fly.io. It's pretty naive but it will get you started and it should just work:tm:.

Note I'm not sure if this fits in fly.io's free tier. I had to up the size of the postgres database and pict-rs host to 512MB, but I anticipate it being pretty cheap at least.
So the robots are betting on the robots.
Ads have nothing to do with the API changes. First of all, there's bot, to which ads are completely irrelevant, yet they're still affected by the API changes. Second, although there are 3rd party Reddit apps with ads, not all do. For example, Infinity for Reddit is ad-free (and open source), yet they're also affected by the API changes. In fact, Infinity's only monetization is via Infinity+, which has no extra features whatsoever, and only exists as a way to support Infinity's developer. Ads, or monetization at all, should have nothing to do with this.

Edit: sorry if I phrased something badly or was contradictory, I'm a bit tired :P - good night!
The point isn't that it's different or the same, the point is that the very definition of the site is that all content and moderation pretty much is created by users, and that the users hate being forced to install yet another app when it works fine for years as a mobile webpage. There was/is a spirit to reddit and it's being destroyed and if you love something and someone takes steps to change the thing you love into something you don't then you're going to resent and hate it. There's also the idea of not feeling powerless and at the mercy of every corporation by banding together to try to effect change. But you act like it's just a bunch of immature kids who are pouting about something silly. It's deeper than that.

You may not need to "insist" insist either, ie., no need to explicitly ask or make it a problem if German colleague speaks English :) Conversation is a two-way street and you both have agency. They reply in English... you just hit them right back with German! (maybe with a question to clarify if they got it, in case your accent is really strong)
Of course it is. Doctors work for you and offer advice. They can't force you to take medicine unless you're involuntarily commited.

Do your own research. Get a second opinion. Etc. I rarely end up taking medication that's prescribed to me and overall I think I'm the better for it.
OSC still exists it just never became the defacto standard for the industry; primarily because there is no standardized device mapping for interoperability.

MIDI 2.0 fixes a number of issues that OSC was intended to fix, but imposes vendor limitations which lead to standardized adoption.

I still use OSC for music production, and it's my goto protocol for writing code that needs networking as it's a super simple message passing protocol that lets me quickly connect various devices and services :)

> MK-ULTRA is dead, but history teaches that one day we'll learn of something even worse that's occurring right under our noses in 2023.

In the grand scheme of American violations of human rights, MK-ULTRA barely even registers. I can think of a dozen worse things we know are happening right now off the top of my head. Trump and Biden's internment camps, the tent cities in every US city, kids as young as 12 working in slaughterhouses, solitary confinement in prisons... I'll spare everyone from this turning into a rant.
Q: what now?

A: RSS of course. Seriously. See https://stop.zona-m.net/2019/09/rss-is-still-great.-and-need...

Pick your sources, COMPLAIN if they do not publish an RSS feeds, and read "news" including posts from personal blogs, through an aggregator. At YOUR pace, without tracking and pushing.

While we are at this, wy/how is Twitch "completely unusable" ?h Just curious, really.
>Anything that would take functionality or access away isn't "evil" it merely decreases the value proposition potentially putting it below a threshold where its not worth bothering to provide the content that make's reddit worth visiting leaving the shell of reddit owned by its corporate overlords worth little.

Sure, this would make sense, but obviously there's a lot of moralized rhetoric being thrown around here which go beyond a dispassionate expression of "if you do this Reddit will no longer be personally valuable to me and I will leave." Uncharitably, people are trying to wrap up their ill-based moral indignation in these dispassionate expressions - "if you do this than I'll be so outraged that Reddit will no longer be personally valuable to me and I will leave." The moral indignation still lacks justification, though.
Do you have any benchmark tests with Loki?
Ahhh, thanks. I'd wondered whether the CEO prior to Bob Swan did much of the damage, as Intel were known to have fucked up the process side for years by that point.

Sounds like a clear Yes then.

That being said, Bob Swann was the Intels' CFO from 2016 prior to his becoming CEO. So he was still involved during the later part of Brian Krzanich's tenure.
Thank you for coining the term "mod pity". It makes me think about roles where people, myself included, have sought the pity of others as a shield against criticism.
It could indeed.

I think it's pretty common knowledge that most funds and stock pickers underperform the benchmarks. I think for retail investors the ballpark figure is like 90% underperformers.

Warren Buffett took a bet in 2008 that over the next 10 years, a low cost S&P 500 index fund will outperform active hedge funds - and it did.

Granted, it's not a proof or anything, but it's interesting:

> The people who do the real contributing—posting, modding, defining the culture and building the communities that Reddit benefits from—are, as far as I can tell, more likely to get a lot angrier about abusive corporate nonsense, simply because they're more invested.

I suspect strongly that these people have been purged already over the past 2-3 years. You simply don't hear much about it, because de-platforming them muzzles most of them, and if anyone does complain elsewhere it's easy to smear them as Nazis or whatnot. I mean, they can't effectively defend themselves against that sort of lie when reddit has scrubbed their comment history from anyone else's view.
Curious, does anyone at Notion work multiple remote jobs?
AMD's Zen 4 chips are competing with Apple's M2 on performance and at least closing the gap on efficiency. Intel's Alder Lake is losing on efficiency but is still trading blows for performance. I am generally a fan of Apple but the M2 was just a modest iteration of the M1, it's not a groundbreaking architectural change either. Even the Pro/Max/Ultra die multiplication strategy is unlikely to continue competing much longer, the latest M2 Ultra is losing to AMD and Intel in some aspects right out of the gate.

Good for you and Musk! So proud of people who can put money into something and lord over it because of capitalism.
After reading this essay I became convinced several different government institutions realized they could tank any grassroots movement by inserting a crazy and letting it go from there. This was of course proven to be the case with the Black Panthers where most of the violent agitators turned out to be FBI agents.

This fundamentally changed my view on flat organizations, realizing they were vulnerable to predators with such simple tactics.
What's the noise margin like?

QR codes with logo's typically contain bit errors and rely on the forward error correction code to correct those errors. The logo comes at the cost of some noise margin.

I'd guess that that the same applies here? All good if decoration is your priority, but if reliability is also a priority you have to be aware of the tradeoff.
Assuming they deliver on a timetable they say they will, which intel has had a well established track record of not doing. With intel, over the last 5-10 years I don't believe anything they say until there are chips in peoples hands at a volume that is meaningful.
At one point Dubsmash had 200 million users (https://stackshare.io/dubsmash/dubsmash-scaling-to-200-milli...) and in the acquisition press release they tout how 25% of black teens were on the app (https://www.redditinc.com/blog/reddit-welcomes-video-platfor...). They had fallen from their heyday by the time Reddit bought them but even still taking those numbers at face value it's probably the worst acquisition of all time
That the SoC has the same PCIe 4.0 x16 bus as a typical PC has doesn't seem to be an inherent issue in utilizing more powerful GPUs itself. After all, we stick more powerful GPUs on typical PCs and they outclass the M2 Ultra in many workloads just fine, slow bus be damned. Being closely integrated with the rest of the SoC definitely has its benefits but it often isn't all that important unless your workload specifically needs to share across CPU+RAM+GPU+VRAM nearly constantly. Which for laptop stuff or media editing, sure - it fits that use case perfectly and I see why they'd never want to start copying the raw video files over a bus to the GPU just to run it through the encoder and copy it back to main memory.

I think the more interesting question is: what additional would having add-on GPU support realistically provide for this type of product? Enable you to play a limited subset of games on a ~$10,000 Mac Workstation which will run them no better than a standard PC which can play anything? Enable you train AI models faster or kerchunk GPGPU faster while connected to really expensive SoC with no other purpose to contain more peripheral I/O? All while you use an OS that's just extra inconvenient for the task vs. the Linux environments everyone is already using?

A Mac workstation is already a niche and if they have something that can target the main use case of that niche (media production) perfectly already then putting as much work into designing new products for additional niches of the already most niche use case just isn't worth it. Particularly when the only reasonably priced way would be to get rid of the integrated solution that serves the main use case better. Not that the technology couldn't be made to do it as good as any other system could, it just doesn't make sense to go after since it's so far from their markets. Really the M series is already an expansion of "well our phone chip is fast..." as is. It has a hard enough time adapting to being a useful laptop (e.g. display outputs) let alone replace every type of system.

As an engineer, the lack of consideration for the matter of how much one should corrupt a signal (which might be scanned under different conditions, such as different light levels and resolutions) is grating to me.

> Public companies are required by law to retain email for 7 years I believe

Public companies have to keep audit-related communications, but not something like this [1]. It comes more from civil litigation, where the standard of proof is the preponderance of evidence. If I sue you and produce partial records, and you say you deleted everything, that can be used against you.

For older programmers like me, who pretty much only deal in English, the very simplicity of ASCII can make unicode difficult to grasp.

In ASCII 1 byte (always 1 byte) of ram = 1 character. And the encoding called ASCII matches the mapping called ASCII.

Along comes Unicode (a mapping), which has multiple different encodings. A difficult distinction leading to statements like "that's a unicode string/file/field".

Along comes unicode which has variable bytes per character. (Yes, even for utf-32, which is why no-one uses utf-32). I still regularly come across folk who think unicode means 2 bytes per character.

Along comes unicode which asks you to consider if the functions LEN, SUB, SLICE etc are counting Bytes or Characters.

Along comes unicode that breaks the idea of setting field length in databases as "number of characters", made worse by a cohort brought up on limited storage, who want to be "effecient" in their declarations.

Along comes unicode with code units, code points, characters -all of which come into play, all with different, or variable, lengths.

So while utf-21 might be a "toy", even making something like that yourself is a learning exercise well worth the endeavour. It should be a mandatory teaching exercise. Two thumbs up.

> How can a malicious user signal boost using your account?

Not a Twitter user myself either. But I think it works like this: popular user posts something. A troll account replies to that with something edgy. Then the followers of the popular account will see the troll’s comments. Thus the troll has been signal boosted.

Afaik blocking is a solution to this problem.
I appreciate the thought experiment of considering whether we would truly act differently in difficult circumstances, as most never engage in that level of self-reflection. However, this article seems to beg the question.

Specifically, it starts by assuming that in the face of challenges like being born in poverty, the average person would not overcome them through will or effort alone. As a result, it cultivates empathy for those who fail to transcend their circumstances. It then implies that the solution is changing the environment, not the individual.

But this is circular reasoning. It assumes that it's all the environment, and concludes with it being all the environment.
The crews can do whatever they need to do to save the airplane.
That's ok. You can talk to USB devices from userspace without issues. That's how many game controllers work. Also most (all?) SDR devices.

In most systems that impacts the mininal latency you can achieve though, so unless you have a system designed around it, you typically don't want real-time usage crossing to userspace too many times.

> I for one will try to undo my past contributions to accelerate its decline.

This is a great idea. I'm going to bulk edit then delete my old comments (I recall reading somewhere that editing them overwrites the original field in the database whereas deleting just sets a deleted flag).

Destroys the value that I've created for free for that shitheap, plus it's helpful to make doxxing me harder.
If you have the time to do it today, doing so is an investment in having more free time tomorrow, or if tomorrow is busy it is now less stressful.

Keep your lighter in the empty part of your cigarette pack (haven't smoked in nearly a decade, but this logic is applicable elsewhere).

No one wants to point out the super obvious elephant in the room: remote work works worse and worse over time because more and more people realise they can scam their employers. Too many people work for 3-4 full time employers at once (and many solved all their money issues and even saved for retirement in these short 3 years, this way, without changing the nature of work they do).
There are only two reasons why employees may like remote work. "You can slack off easier because the boss isn't looking", and "you can make 3-4x more money". These go hand in hand because as productivity falls so do the expectations and one who doesn't want to make more by scamming, can simply slack off more and get away with it easily.
At first glance I'd suggest it doesn't compress at all. Especially if the compression uses bytes.

Bit-streams of characters of non-bytes length become randomish when viewed as bytes, and random bytes contain no redundancy and can't be compressed.
Read what competition law is about. It's not simply about absolute monopoly which is an extreme edge case. It's about harm to competition. Anti-competitive practices totally should be illegal.

> They see it as some Wikipedia-like encyclopedia of "good questions". If your question isn't a good question, it does not matter that you need answers.

An encyclopedia of good questions is a very valuable thing. SO was created with the goal of it scaling, because once you answer the good questions, nobody needs to ask anything anymore.

Then they decided to write a formal specification for "good question". This is when things started to break.
This analogy breaks down rather quickly. The government is a government because it has a monopoly on violence to enforce its rules. Even your tiny little village can constitute a police force that can arrest, subjugate, and in the face of extreme resistance, kill.

No corporation is authorized to do that in any circumstances at all.

While I certainly invite criticism of these entities, bad criticism benefits them.
The last year I could find for their largest donors from a quick Google search was 2018. Three of the big 5 tech companies are in the top 10 of largest donors. Do you think they are going to donate to Reddit?
> Unicode has three official ways of storing these numbers: UTF-8, UTF-16, and UTF-32

They are less official, but Unicode defines several other encodings in their technical reports and notes:

SCSU: https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr6/tr6-4.html

UTF-EBCDIC: http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr16/tr16-8.html

CESU-8: https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr26/tr26-4.html

BOCU-1: https://www.unicode.org/notes/tn6/

These are all somewhat legacy, having never seen very wide adoption:

Compression schemes such as SCSU and BOCU-1 turned out in practice to add a lot of complexity for minimal real-world benefit. If you really need to save storage, then a standard compression algorithm (e.g. deflate or zstd) is usually a better option.

CESU-8 is a backward compatibility hack for old UTF-8 implementations which used encoded UTF-16 surrogates for codepoints outside the BMP.

UTF-EBCDIC is basically UTF-8 but for EBCDIC. It was invented by someone at IBM, but IBM themselves ended up standardising on UTF-16 instead. And if IBM ended up not using UTF-EBCDIC, who else was going to? Well, there's a few surviving non-IBM mainframe vendors who also use EBCDIC (such as Unisys and Fujitsu BS2000), but I'm not aware any of them ever expressed any interest in it either.
Same here. I just blacklisted Reddit on my pihole. Just in case I forget and accidentally visit it.

They will even the subs become a cesspool of spam and low effort content
I really don't see any advantage to UTF-32 when not-officially-standardised UTF-24 has the same constant 3-byte-sized codepoints (and multiplying by 3 is not hard - it's n + 2n); in UTF-32, the highest byte will never be anything other than 0, so it's essentially permanent waste.

Also, according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters there's currently less than 150k codepoints defined, so even 21 bits is several times larger than necessary --- 18 bits will contain all the currently assigned codepoints, and be sufficient until 256k codepoints is reached.

Incidentally, 18-bit architectures were once common: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/18-bit_computing
Yes. It’s bonkers.

New chat is only available on the new site and the latest mobile apps, so it’s also likely a way to funnel people towards those. IIRC legacy chat was also available on old reddit and the older versions of the apps, but never the 3rd party ones, which only had PMs.
