It seems more likely that there, too, it was the users doing the work, not SO.

the primary value on SO is generated by the users, and thus the value proposition to enticing new users is also generated by the users. SO is just a forum.
>The third Skywalker trilogy started off with a bang in late 2015 with The Force Awakens, only to end with a whimper four years later as fans deserted the franchise.

The Rise of Skywalker grossed over a billion dollars at the box office. The current crop of TV shows are some of the most popular things on TV. That isn't what I'd call "desertion". Disney can milk Star Wars for years to come.

It wouldn't surprise me if they've already made back their investment. The five Disney Star Wars movies have made over $4 billion gross. That's not accounting for the parks or merchandising.

I don't see any doom and gloom here for Disney. Things are bad for the moviegoing public, sure, but Disney is doing fine.
I have a 180w gaming laptop, and would love even just having a GAN charger for it with a barrel Jack. But they’re hard to find at that wattage, never mind a usb-c one.
Polish fascists think all ethnically Russian people are in cahoots with the RF MoD, which is Definitely trying to conquer all of Europa.

That's not what they think. As you know. This kind of intentional blurring and hyperbole is really quite tiresome.
Because despite claims to the contrary most of these sites/projects aren't created for altruistic reasons, they were created to make money (at some point). Cashing out is typically part of the long term plan.

In the case of Stack Overflow, I think the reason for the data dumps was two-fold: one of the original founders (who left long ago) came across as at least idealistic and wanting to do the right thing. The other was pragmatic and most likely always thinking about the money angle. However, the other founder likely also saw the value of the data dumps from a PR standpoint which was quite valuable as they were initially trying to replace expertsexchange.com that paywalled most of the content. IIRC, they discussed the data dumps in the early days of their podcast.

Now that there's big money to be made from machine learning (both the models and the data they are trained on), they've likely decided 'screw it' on the PR value of the data dumps and would rather get some of that sweet, sweet machine learning money.
The review process seems quite intimidating as described by the OP. Things like use of localStorage is almost like a given in any extension these days and they ask justification for every permission you ask.
Better than not taking the money, at least.

At a minimum it reduces inflation a tiny bit which helps everyone.
Whatever the process was for Andor, do that for everything else.

Yes, but:

- it removes only a fraction of it from your body, so it gives only a fraction of it to the recipient.

- if you need a donation, this dose compared to what you get in exchange is usually a very good deal

- some blood don't actually go to people, but is used for manufacturing drugs, science tests or expires

- hopefully people don't get blood transfusions very often and have a blood level of PFAS close to the average and the given blood. Hopefully.
The pins go very short way so even if the resistance of them is far higher than a cable they are pretty short to dissipate any significant power. At least from my experience in sketchy connections. But yeah, definitely another limit here

Voltage too, at some point it would just be too close for the voltage and would start arcing.

> In embedded work, you don't get extra credit for being faster than necessary.

You absolutely do when you can cut power requirements and get by with cheaper CPU/hardware. I ran a whole consulting business redesigning poorly designed devices and redoing firmware for cost reduction. How does one decide “necessary”, what is necessary in the short and long term are often not the same.
This trial, if it goes wrong, threatens the existence of life on the planet.
This is why I intentionally exclude my sites from Google's crawlers. That way, I never grow to depend on Google and don't worry about potential delisting.
Reddit will go the way of Twitter. By that I mean business as usual.
> The problem with the Qt Company is that they intentionally try to confuse users about what they can and cannot do with LGPL software (...)

Their commercial licenses are very expensive. Qt charges close to $400 per month per developer, or close to $4000 per year per developer. A small shop is on the hook for $50k/year. That's a very hard pill to swallow.
Should Golang have a built-in 'zero' function?
I did cite my source by saying it's GPT4, so you know exactly what quality to attribute to the information. I figured it was a good enough source given the context, because my point was that taurine is a good fit for marketing. For that purpose it doesn't really matter whether the information is true. What matters is public perception, and I trust that that's well represented by GPT4 in this case.
Can't you just add .json to different urls to get it that way?
A Computational Analysis of Oral Argument in the Supreme Court
"...using machine learning techniques to, for the first time, construct predictive models of judicial decision making based not on oral argument's superficial features or on factors external to oral argument, such as where the case falls on a liberal-conservative spectrum, but on the actual content of the oral argument itself -- the Justices' questions to each side. The resultant models offer an important new window into aspects of oral argument that have long resisted empirical study, including the Justices' individual questioning styles, how each expresses skepticism, and which of the Justices' questions are most central to oral argument dialog..."

I do the same thing. I wonder how inflated the subscriber count is on many popular subreddits.
It's lost alot of drive in the plot though. Seems to be losing alot of steam after this last season concluded.
I come into the office 3-4 days a week, sometimes 5. We're technically hot-desking but I put all of my personal items on a desk. "MY desk" is always open for me now b/c it's uncomfortable for strangers to sit on a desk with someone else's family photos and tchotchkes. Bonus, all of my colleagues know exactly where to find me because I am in the same desk every time and I never have to readjust my chair/monitor etc.

OP specifically mentions fear of cancer from acrylamide in coffee, in a comment. Having a bad reaction or allergy to coffee is one thing, worrying about getting cancer from coffee is another.
Man-made things are real! Finance is the lazy abstraction we use to represent "resources." Competition also does not exist for competitions sake, it exists as a result of multiple agents within a specific context engaging in activity that has "winners" and "losers" (this is not a great way to put this but I'm trying not to think too hard about the specific theoretical nuances of what competition _is_, but more what it's used _for_).

For sports, this context is highly constrained to whatever game is being played and so its impacts are limited to the scope of that game and those involved with its orchestration/spectacle (definitionally!).

On the other hand, global trade is unconstrained by a specific range of activity (there are states with laws that try and combat this but ultimately money is money). This is much closer in effect to the "real" physical violence of war. By controlling an entity financially, you control that entities ability to exist in a financial context and so when that world of finance becomes the dominant form of interaction you are effectively enacting violence upon and limiting the expression of that thing (i.e. the conquest and subjugation of people/land but with money instead of swords).

In contemporary hyper-reality it is a common mistake to ascribe "unrealness" to things like money or the internet, in such a way that we can box out their effects from our understandings. Then, when those systems are employed to reinforce and/or expand existing hierarchies that layer of smoke and mirrors is able to effectively divert attention away from their _very real_ impacts. At the same time they become both non-things and the backdrop on which everything else exists.

"Just turn off the computer"

"Just don't purchase exploitative things"

"Just do your own research"

[Ad infinitum...]

These bits of rhetoric shift the unfathomable inertia of Things™ onto the shoulders of the individual, be it a person, organization or state without recognition as to why that entity is doing the thing that it is doing in the context of everything else that is doing something around it.

There is probably already a term for it but this seems to itself be a kind of logical fallacy ("ex homine"?) that collapses the scale of a problem down to the decision of an individual. Thus it enters the scope of opinion and so is unreal and unworthy of discussion or understanding. Nuance and complexity are shunted away systemically because complex solutions and understandings do not engage well with efficiency. Because things that are economically efficient are those things which can be spread through economics, even the ideas around what it means to be economic can be distorted by this effect in such a way to detach people further and further from reality while assuring them that they are the only ones that _really_ understand how the world works (in "economic" terms). It is a battlefield that is at war with all other battlefields--and it is winning.
F&W had a bad reputation (I had a copy as well as a child, for the same reasons, purchased a volume at a time at the grocery store), but it wasn't that bad. Microsoft eventually purchased the rights to it and many of the articles from their 1990s CD-ROM Encyclopedia (Encarta) were either taken directly from F&W or only slightly edited.
GM joining the parade likely means that CCS chargers in North America will have to upgrade to NACS (or die). Luckily it sounds like it should be a relatively straightforward upgrade for some of them: NACS still speaks the CCS data standards so a lot of firmware mostly doesn't need to change. I think the only real exception is that NACS mandates the CCS "plug and charge" standard and CCS1 left it "optional" for some dumb reasons. That NACS requirement, if it is indeed a requirement, will do a ton to clean up the other charger networks: fewer apps, fewer terminal interactions, just plug the car in and let it securely speak the user's CC information in the handshake.
At the end of the day, nobody's left who understands what Star Wars is about. It's a ship adrift.

Marvel works because of the endless nerd wrangling in the comics world imposing narrative discipline and critical standards. Plus the crappy stories don't make it to the big screen. Star Wars just doesn't have that: it's a cathedral and there's no bishop, vs. the much more bazaar and bizarre comic book processes.

Needs a genius at the helm or it flounders. Where's Marcia Lucas these days?
That’s an interesting idea, but how is it a “Reddit competitor”? Reddit isn’t primarily a shared annotated bookmarks site; this wouldn’t be in even approximately the same space as Reddit.
I bet there were a lot of essays written about Aardvarks at that time.

They are seeing it as commercial use because those alternative apps have their own advertisements from which they make the majority of their money, which is specifically banned under the new terms.
Reddit didn't provide these tools, so clearly they're not concerned with whether good moderation tools exist. The lack of them will not prevent them from restoring the subreddits.

Subreddit quality doesn't matter. Most of the popular subreddits are already horrible.

I’m not entirely sure where the cutoff date is. But my general point is that Microsoft started churning lots of dev stacks which aren’t easy to install or deploy on their newest Windows versions, all the while a random Win32 program from 1999 works just fine.
As a counterpoint, look at the massive cross cultural success of the Last Of Us on HBO. My SO never played the games, nor heard of them, yet loved the show quite dearly, saying multiple times to anyone who would listen that its one of the best TV shows of all time she's ever seen, and it takes alot to get that kind of praise from her.
The hardest part about making a new reddit isn't the technical side
I remember redirecting from article to article. Sometimes I would end in a loop. Even back then I sometimes became suspicious that unknown forces were hiding some things from me. Too many times tantalizing subjects would be mentioned and then dropped with no further information available.

Addressing the community about changes to our API
Holy cow, that's a more important invention for humanity than that Apple VR headset.
> but it looks increasingly like services will have to lock down content or shut down due to AI models frontrunning them with their own content.

This feels like its slightly off to me.

An LLM that was trained on job postings to be able to categorize them isn't trying to do job postings ( https://wfhmap.com/algorithm/ ) but rather be able to do meaningful classification of bulk unstructured data.

An LLM trained on reddit is... weird to talk to, but talking to it doesn't replace asking a proper subreddit with people answering and comments back and forth. Is ChatGPT stealing views from people complaining about their job in /r/antiwork? Going to something in /r/news and sort by controversial and getting some popcorn turns out to be much more interesting than ChatGPT ever will be.

Maybe you can say that ChatGPT with some training of Stack Exchange sites has some utility (and that its really classified, tagged, and feedback given makes it even more useful), but GitHub CoPilot was trained on just GitHub stuff and its better at code than pretending "try {some broken code} hope that helps" is going to be useful for a LLM.

To me, this feels much more like CEOs that are having difficulty with existing monetization attempting to lock up the data that they have under a questionable pretext to monetize that to companies looking to train models for other things.

The sorting out of what the rights are on the output of models is something that needs to be sorted out - probably by the courts. I am still of the opinion that if something that might be copyrighted is used from any source, then the person doing the copying (who has agency) needs to do a license check themselves on it. I know that there is GPL code on Stack Overflow that looks like its licensed under CC 4.0 and if you copied the SO answer and put it in a BSD licensed repository, you'd be in violation of the GPL - and that's without touching any LLM.

There are also lots of non copyright things that the data could be used for. I'd like to make a AI-CATegorizer. Train it on a representative number of images form each of the reddit cat subs so that someone can ask it "here's a picture of my cat, what subs can this be posted to" and get back "/r/airplaneears /r/blackcats /r/stealthbombers" - and that's not something that is potentially generating copyrighted content (though it inherently uses it)... pretending that that those images were under a CC license, would it need to attribute all of the images that were part of the training data set to respond back with those three subreddits?
Alternatively, buying and maintaining a second vehicle (insurance, wear and tear, etc.) is more expensive than just using your current vehicle, which you already need to use a few times a month to haul things in the bed which you'd prefer to do yourself instead of looking for outside help as that takes time.

If there were economically affordable smaller trucks that are likely more fuel efficient than the behemoth trucks - the Ford Maverick hybrid seems to be the start of that trend - then I'm sure you'd see more people purchasing these vehicles used and new.

This is completely ignoring subcultures in the US that roll coal and drive lifted trucks, etc. etc. as they just think that stuff's cool.
I have a 1:1 clone of old.reddit in my PC already, I built it for fun a few months ago. It's a one week task for a senior web developer anyway. The thing is though, most people don't care about these changes and will continue to use reddit with their official apps. It's just not worth the stress IMO.
There is a difference between the progressive ideals of the previous generation and the current generation, if anything the current generation of progress ideology is more regressive than anything else.
Whoever thought LLM's were at a point where they could responsibly replace a mental health professional was at the very least incorrect.
StarCraft owes more than just the zerg to 40k, the marine design is very space Marine and the protoss are very Eldar. One thing StarCraft did was turn away from the grimdark outlook and tell a very human (if operatic) story.
> Corrupt relative to democracies, or really just most other countries in the world.

I’ll reiterate. You described it as something that Putin caused (in part).

> The one that is backed by historical evidence: widespread corruption rotted the organization from the core. Putin is running his country like the world's largest petro-Mafia, with poor internal controls that allowed for a widespread looting of the state's assets.

But it has always been like that. At least since it was born from the Soviet Union.

But now you change your tune to to it being corrupt “relative to democracies”.
This would be like suing Adobe because someone made something in photoshop, imo.
The DEA is not a good source of legal advice. It is legal to grow Papaver somniferum in the United States for garden and seed production purposes.
Right, but is that actually important?

It might be, depending on what your goals are, but for a lot of developers who just want to make a good living off of their work (as opposed to becoming a millionaire), it's not really that important.
I tried to play NV vanilla a few months ago and ran into multiple of these within the first couple hours. Never went back
Part of it could be due to the EU legislating USB-C for charging on quite a few consumer products. Shipping a charger, let alone a proprietary charger, is rapidly starting to become a con rather than a pro.

And USB-C is starting to become dirt-cheap to implement on the device side. 500mA @ 5V can be done without any controller chip whatsoever, and you can do up to 3A @ 5V without active communication. It's just easier to use USB-C than it is to mess around with a custom power brick!

I married into a family that owns a construction business, and I don't think the impressions of how much the trades make or how easy it is to start a trade business I see around here are in any way grounded in reality. It's a very tough way to make a decent middle income living for the vast vast majority, and almost all of them end up bankrupt or close to it during at least one economic downturn.

Would recommend the Matt Levine write-up: https://archive.is/44wfu

In the J&J case, the subsidiary had the right to draw at least ~$60B in order to pay off future lawsuits if the initial subsidiary's assets ran out, so there was never any real risk that it would leave suitholders unpaid. The switch into bankruptcy court is a way to arbitrate and organize the lawsuits, which was overturned because given the right to draw money from the J&J parent co the subsidiary wasn't actually at risk of bankruptcy.
The problem is that her resume of successful productions is strangely amazing for how she's run Star Wars. Gremlins; E.T.; Indiana Jones; Jurassic Park; Twister; Schindler's List; Back To The Future; etc. Presumably, it's partially because she hitched along as Producer for almost all Spielberg films and it did her career wonders by association.

So who is the replacement? She's produced on so many successful series that her Star Wars ineptitude is heartbreaking. You need to find someone with a better resume; and if you can't, what's your criteria for picking a replacement if nobody is qualified replace her on previous merits?
