According to the US law enforcement system, in the context of TK, a long slow torturous death is more moral and humane than a quick execution.

Another aspect to TK's story is that prior to becoming a murderer he was involved as a subject in the "MK Ultra" human experimentation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MKUltra

There is a public perception that the effect of this dirty experimentation (that also involved help from good ol' dirty German Nazis, which BTW could not have been any less evil or murderous than TK, but were spared the kind of prison term that he got) was not sufficiently considered during TK's trial and sentencing.

If you think that Buddhist monks have some good points, do you need to go live in a remote monastery? Kaczynski's critique can make us think about the extremes of modern life; it can encourage us to step back a little and live in more harmony with nature and less so in the grind of industrial society.
I guess you should pray that the CCP invests more money in Reddit in order to make sure it's no longer subjected to the "whims of capitalist forces".

Of course, I have trouble taking this seriously when I suspect there's a huge amount of overlap between people decrying profit-seeking behavior here but who also are fine with wrongthink communities being banned out of advertiser revenue concerns.
You say it is preferable today. In a way we all must agree it’s preferable. Unlike the state’s “social contract” which you cannot exit, any of us could - for the price of a bus ticket - find ourselves back in the wild. None of us go.

But just because humans have a revealed preference doesn’t mean that’s the way we should live.

In all honesty, I don’t think abundant food itself is a problem, but I do think the ethos of democracy basically allows everyone to ignore should questions and an addicted and obese population is the result.

Imagine showing our world to an 19th century English laborer. They would be awe of our technological achievements, but I think they’d find our social structures extremely distressing.
I'm not demonstrating your point for you, despite your continued insistence of that, and again, you really do seem to be refusing to read, not me. I agree it's getting ridiculous.

Let me repeat something I said earlier since you apparently missed it:

If they don't want to read, as opposed to being unable to read, they are irrelevant to the point being made.

Now, do you actually have a useful point to make in response? Or just more nonsense about how I'm supposedly demonstrating your point despite that not being at all the case?

If the latter, since you already have said it's ridiculous, and I agree, I'd ask you simply not respond to end this chain here.
AWS would also have a GM be involved for such an incident, and if this happened more than a few times the GM would risk being fired.

I reckon a "drive 1-2kms on a designed route and park" capability alone would be pretty useful for city planning. Imagine if instead of needing to put parking spaces everywhere, planners could just plan robust routes that any car could use to go and park itself. You could could achieve it today by telling people to just walk from a car garage, but the uproar whenever there isn't enough parking right next to the exact place they want to stop is too huge for it to ever happen
I've been traveling around visiting US cities.

Cities like San Antonio, TX with its Riverwalk and Atlanta with its Beltline not only show every other city a path towards walkable and sustainable future but also how a city can invest tens of millions in walkable infrastructure that yields billions in economic investment and development.

Also, I don't have a car so I've been taking bus, train, plane, and occasional car rental to travel between towns and cities. Recently I've started taking buses. What I've discovered is that I can get on the bus in the morning, plug in my phone and laptop to AC power, and using my mobile hot spot work all day while on the bus. The buses travel on interstate highways which have excellent continuous mobile service. Amtrak trains are awful for working because lack of stable internet connection.
FWIW, in almost every subreddit where I've seen an announcement that they're doing dark, user sentiment has been overwhelmingly on the mods' side. In fact, in a number of cases, when the mods have said they're shutting down for 48 hours, there have been highly-upvoted comments from users saying that's not long enough.
That is an old rule: Don't mistake malice for bungling.

I think Queinnec is either big on literature or he was writing at a time before prescription and style guides took over academia in France (has it?). Looking at his website he makes no mention of literature or anything related beyond language general, but he does use the comma to for elaboration and context, not just to delimit inline lists. Looking at Lisp In Small Pieces I can't help but notice a strong resemblance to Henry James and wonder if his passion for language extends beyond programming. I also notice some parallels between his language use with lisp itself, but I am no where near good enough with lisp to be certain, his book is still well beyond me but I do enjoy it and the challenge it presents.
Do you know why Reddit actually built their own multimedia platforms via i/v.reddit? Because Imgur didn't want to host Reddit content anymore [0]. This is about NSFW but more generally there was a cooling of relations between Imgur and Reddit because essentially Reddit users were freeloading on Imgur's platform without Imgur necessarily being able to show ads due to how Reddit linked directly to the image and not the Imgur link. Therefore, Reddit was forced (and yes, also wanted) to build their own versions.

There is no free lunch. Someone has to pay the bills on hosting, and I'm sure Reddit thought it'd be cheaper to do it themselves at scale than to pay someone as a middleman.

Effectively home rule exists at the mercy of state legislation in NY due to the current legal precedents around the state constitution.

One weird NYC thing is that it is the only city I am aware of in the US that sits above the county level. The five boroughs are the five counties and mostly used for administrative management, since four of the boroughs are million plus cities in and of themselves; but the boroughs have no lawmaking powers.

I would say that if we experienced that, we would likely experience societal collapse far before the singularity became a problem. At which point the singularity could be just as likely to save humanity as it would be to doom it.
Lots of things don't work until they do, and then iteration can be rapid. In addition, solutions for the same problem tend to have drastically different limitations and bottlenecks. Any new breakthrough can move the boundaries forward in leaps.

You can host your own community then. At the end of the day, someone has to pay for hosting all of that data. Trying to not lose money from hosting said data is not a "distort[ion] at the whim of capitalist forces."

Too much or too few of anything isn't (by definition) adequate.

By craving for material comfort we want: to possess more => better yield => economies of scale.

This leads us to live in conditions which aren't appropriate to our current 'nature': large urban areas (where we often interact with people we don't know: this is stress-inducing esp. for males), specialization (we aren't ants), centralization and bureaucracy (we aren't cogs)...

Early on the article makes a conjecture that others also make which I think is part of why the topic is so hot:

“Whether the virus emerged as a result of a leak from a laboratory or from nature has become one the most controversial problems in science.”

The words “in science” are my problem here: people thinking this is a “scientific” question.

It’s a history question, a political question, and could be made into a forensic question. But science does not ask this kind of question!

Is it possible for a lab to leak a virus? That’s a question science can ask, but it doesn’t answer this one.

So we end up with a belief that scientists can answer this question… but it isn’t a “scientific” question in the first place.
I think you always retain the right to change the license of your own code. If something is 100% your own code, you can choose whatever license you like.
> Proposals range from charging vehicles $9 to $23 during peak hours, and it’s set to go into effect next spring.

That seems pretty expensive to me, but maybe that's typical of toll road prices these days. There are none where I live, so I don't have anything to compare to.

It's unfortunate that it's effectively a regressive tax.

There's an alternative that I like in principle, but I'm not sure if there's a way to actually implement it that wouldn't be a dystopian surveillance nightmare. The idea is that everyone in a region gets a fixed number of "car trip tokens" per week. You use one token every time you drive somewhere, regardless of how many passengers you have. Parents get tokens on behalf of their children, because they have to drive them places sometimes.

Unused tokens may be sold to people who want them through a public auction system. Employers who require their employees to be in the office must provide their employees with the tokens. This shifts the burden of transportation externalities on to the employers. Employees can either use the tokens or sell them if they decide to take public transportation or ride a bike instead. This gives them an incentive to not drive even when they're provided tokens for free.

The total number of tokens in the system can be set low enough that congestion is rarely a problem.

Handling out-of-state cars is a problem. Maybe they can just pay a fixed toll if there's no interstate agreement set up.

Maybe there could also be some rules like non-peak trips only use a half token, or oversized vehicles use 2 tokens.
He's myopic. It's not like any of the third party clients were drowning in millions in profits. The CEO basically shut out his best content producers in one fell swoop. If you're already looking to a third party client for Reddit, clearly it's something you value and that's now been destroyed.
> There isn't, and there has never been, a large (hundreds of millions of active users) online community that wasn't run by a for-profit entity.

Usenet.
With respect this is not correct. What you are describing is Ad Hominem driven by some kind of moralist knee-jerk reaction. The absurd extreme of this line of reasoning would be to refuse to acknowledge the existence of snow because Hitler mentioned in passing in a letter or a speech at some point.
You just made that up. That's not what the phrase "force of nature" means.
Congratulations, you have discovered why Reddit (and any B2C social network in general) took venture capital as it did and why it's struggling to contain its expenses on scaling to that many users.
>If you really want the full TK experience I implore you to live in the woods for a decade and see how you feel about humanity. No laptop instagram or electricity. Will you have any empathy left for the rest of society upon your return?

>They also decided to do presumably costly ui rollouts that a lot of their most veteran community members opt out of.

The original UI works well, and it's great they kept old.reddit. Everything since has been horrible, along with the dark patterns pushing their mobile client. It reminds me of all the craigslist UI redesign posts on hacker news many years ago that completely missed the point.

Reddit has definite value (really important as Google quality declines IMO), and I'd love if they could find a way to sustain without destroying the community... but I'm not optimistic.
I'm curious to hear what in Ellul echoes Ted's manifesto? Ellul seems very like a very astute and interesting thinker, and Ted obviously referenced him, but to say that it's a "popular reduction" seems like a stretch to me. I say this based on this understanding of Ellul, pulled from his wikipedia page:

> The solution is to simply view technique as objects that can be useful to us and recognize it for what it is, just another thing among many others, instead of believing in technique for its own sake or that of society.

Which I would summarize as "we should examine technology as a means to an end, rather than a good unto itself". On the other hand, I would summarize Ted's thoughts (without having read the manifesto myself) as "technology of all kinds is inherently evil, and we have a moral imperative to dismantle and destroy basically all of it as quickly as possible."

Those two ideas seem related in that they're talking about some of the same concepts, but it kinda ends there for me...
Yes, me too. I have a Minolta Rangefinder in a box that needs the crank spring fixed. I've kept it because it captures the lighting exactly like I see it with my eyes. I would get the best night/ twighlight/ evening pictures with it and I would specify no color correction at the developer. I don't think digital photographers understand what it is to capture the light'. I have a newer Minolta in working condition that also takes excellent quality pictures.

For me it was probably this little exchange. Where Spez doubles down on claiming that the creator of Apollo was in some way being shady, without providing any evidence.

Behavior like this shows me that Spez is used to lying and getting away with it. Long ago, Spez was caught editing user comments. Sort of shows that in 15+ years in a leadership role he hasn't learned how to be a better human...

My wife and I usually watch different shows/movies so I could see myself using a headset like this for a lot of content consumption. Rest of the use cases I agree with.

On the NBA games, I reckon it would be a matter of deciding whether being able to get a courtside experience for a far cheaper price counted for more than the isolation. And being able to get a drink from the fridge. And not having to deal with driving and parking. And for sports events which are otherwise sold out or on the other side of the world. I can see this being a huge thing if the price and functionality are right.
> Pick a generic, ideally universal icon and it's once-and-done.

I think text is pretty essential, but if we're not going to be allowed that, at least make the icon actually representative of its function. One of the reason I find having the text so important is that icons have become increasingly inscrutable.

Very cool. I imagine your approach using files/folders + identifiers would work well for small repos, where everything can fit within an 8k prompt. An early prototype of our agent had something similar but with just files/folders no identifiers.

Our working thesis atm is the only approach to context that scales to support massive repos is embedding or text based retrieval.

Code search is going to need to be solved before code editing gets solved. You can't make changes if you can't find where the changes need to be made in a repo. Unless you're willing to make the UX concession that users have to manually select which files need to be edited.

Having worked on Django projects of multiple sizes I really like the HackSoftware Django Styleguide.

It was a refreshing approach rather than tracking down logic scattered between models, views, managers etc.

For very simple projects it can add a bit of bloat/boilerplate but as complexity grows it's great to have reusable selectors & service functions to use.
You can't vote on a poll using a 3rd party app. For example, if you click on a poll using Apollo, it opens the Reddit website as a new window and you have to log in again and vote through that website.

This level of friction means I've never voted in a Reddit poll unless I was on a computer, and many other 3rd party app users probably act similarly.
I just don't believe that you couldn't charge enough for a single user to be worth more, subscribed and in a 3rd party app, than they would make on the website as an advertising target.
Yes, but you can't take back old licenses from anyone who got it before you changed it (unless they specifically say you can, which no FOSS license does, by definition).

But anyway, I think this is about code that's a derivative of someone else's and so not entirely your own.
Most software innovations seem to be made to make the developer's life easier instead of creating more performant software. I'm not complaining but user focused software innovations like LLMs do seem to come very few and far between compared to hardware.

I'd probably make user post lists lower on the priority for selects either way. Date range is clearly how you want to partition if you can, as long as you can table up points without hitting the whole damn history for every point change. For something with lots of subs I'd shard by sub / related subs and then partition by date range, subpartition by user id range (probably). That would make user score accretion very slow but most immediate views within a sub or a thread fast. But it would depend on the patterns and seeing what queries took the longest.

Triggers to user_points on some monolith table might be doable.

Also at that point you can run jobs to build user post tables and point scores in a lazy way. Placing immediate post writes and hot thread reads as first priority makes sense if you do have to trade off performance somewhere.
The hell with it, I bought one with this amazing quote on it:

They say: sufferings are misfortunes," said Pierre. 'But if at once this minute, I was asked, would I remain what I was before I was taken prisoner, or go through it all again, I should say, for God's sake let me rather be a prisoner and eat horseflesh again. We imagine that as soon as we are torn out of our habitual path all is over, but it is only the beginning of something new and good. As long as there is life, there is happiness. There is a great deal, a great deal before us.“

I will carry it with me on my camino if it gets here in time.
