> Reddit is extremely dependent on the goodwill of the community

Are they? Assuming they all go dark for 48 hours, then come back online, and business continues as usual... wouldn't that somewhat prove that Reddit doesn't have to worry too much? What if certain subreddits go dark for extended amounts of times, multiple weeks, maybe even a month. And then new copycat subreddits pop up, what do you think will happen?

Reddit will be fine, the vast majority of the end-users doesn't care or doesn't even know, it's the powerusers and moderators that care a lot.

(FWIW, I absolutely think the protests are justified and Reddit's pricing is insane, but I'm cynical and don't see them being affected by this all that much)
Showing off mods who will continue working after mild token protests in the post-IPO ad-infested trash hole the site becomes against users' wishes is a great signal for short term gain.

Is really hard for me to understand how running an VM on a resource constrained device has any benefit. There is a reason why those devices run using very lightweight "OS"s like FreeRTOS and Embedded C.

Why the constant obsession to apply a technology designed for a specific purpose everywhere else, even when it doesn't make sense?

Reddark is happening on June 12 and so is the largest NATO defense drill in history.

Coincidence? Actually I think so, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a little unnerving. :)
I've run across a paper "Bytes is all you need" or the like a few days ago. Probably something you'd like to read
The problem is that people are (a) using the 3rd party apps for entirely genuine usability reasons beyond ads and (b) while the API users may only be a small percentage, they're the ones holding the site together. Few moderators use only Reddit official tooling. Some have built quite sophisticated tools to automate their work. /r/music mention of having their own server for some purpose: https://www.reddit.com/r/Music/comments/141tzgd/comment/jn2l...

The notorious Digg collapse was in part because of their fight with a big poster who was dominating the rankings and in the process supplying a lot of the content. They won against him, and the rest is history. Similar with Vine.
I am 60+ and always worked for small organizations until the last 5 years or so. Never had 1:1s until recently. Biweekly half-hour meetings where we chat about nothing. Mostly harmless but there just in case.
I saw it too. I found that the hand painting process resulted in every pixel of frame constantly changing, even otherwise plain backgrounds, which made it exhausting to watch. The frame rate was pretty low too.
What about the 'well I'm going to go all out anyway, so when they consider that my 85% effort they'll think I must be hot shit' effect?
People should just go back to forums. It was better when I didn't know about the absolute nutcases and always felt like forum information was superior to the stuff I find on Reddit.
The community is a massive majority of lurkers that don't comment, don't upvote and may not even have an account.

It's not because a few terminally online Reddit addicts are vocally posing as the resistance that the majority of the community supports it.
Java was originally intended for embedded devices...
Thanks for the link. That paper seems a bit different though. They're asking the model to do reasoning by emitting serialized graphs using a custom declarative data format, which it struggles with of course because it hasn't seen any such format before. Then they switch to asking it to emit code and it does better. But what I was meaning was more that code training helps it reason and speak better even in English, where no code is being emitted at all.
I can't make sense of the examples. What would I use this for?
This is true until you start touching 3rd rail topics. And having an experience like parent poster's even one time is one time too many IMO.

I've never had a long and thoughtful post censored, but it's frustrated me the once or twice it happened with a short comment that I didn't believe deserved it.

I agree we need moderation to avoid being a cesspool, but a light touch is absolutely essential.

fp-ts is great and still has active development but it has also been folded into effect-ts (https://github.com/Effect-TS/) which is based on Scala ZIO.

> but some untested beliefs are just wrong.

Absolutely. I didn't mention people that tell you to stay away from the edge.

In many cases, timidity (often a reaction to past trauma) can be debilitating.

I remember when I was interviewing at startups, and Every. Single. One. -Every one, described themselves as "unicorns."

The harsh reality is that, for every unicorn, prancing around the tech industry, there's a charnel pit, filled with the corpses of 10,000 goats and jackasses, with horns glued to their foreheads.

Not all timidity is bad, and, sometimes, ignoring warnings can be quite fatal.
Government controlled cryptography can reduce misuse. Regulation works there the same way as for money.
I'm the main author of Highway, so I have some opinions :D Number of operations/platforms supported are important criteria.

A hopefully unbiased commentary:

Simde allows you to take existing nonportable intrinsics and get them to run on another platform. This is useful when you have a bunch of existing code and tight deadlines. The downside is less than optimal performance - a portable abstraction can be more efficient than forcing one platform to exactly match the semantics of another. Although a ton of effort has gone into Simde, sometimes it also resorts to autovectorization which may or may not work.

Eigen and SLEEF are mostly math-focused projects that also have a portability layer. SLEEF is designed for C and thus has type suffixes which are rather verbose, see https://github.com/shibatch/sleef/blob/master/src/libm/sleef... But it offers a complete (more so than Highway's) libm.
Eigen is similarly useful for higher-level linear algebra that you probably do not want to reimplement yourself.
However, I am skeptical of its expression template approach, in my experience one can run into trouble when the code gets complex (maybe some compiler limits are reached).
Both of them may be less useful in non-math domains, AFAIK they lack many of the specialized instructions Highway has (e.g. interleaved load/store, compress/expand, software AES/CLMUL, popcount, lzcnt, saturated add/sub, 128-bit compare/minmax, fixed-point mul). I think Eigen would struggle with dynamic dispatch because of its header-only style, and SLEEF (understandably) lacks 8/16-bit types.

Highway is used in multiple projects and because it is just a collection of wrapper functions around intrinsics, it is more predictable/reliable. For this reason it is also currently AFAIK the only solution that supports scalable vectors in SVE and RISC-V V. The main downside is that it requires C++11, and so we are unable to help projects that are C-only and cannot compile parts of their code as C++.
Hey,

> 48 hours will not even ding reddit.

I feel like 48 hour long outage for a social media website is huge. That's 2 days for people to look around at alternatives. Remember when google plus launches FB argued that they had zero hours to lose and they were kinda right.

My main point here is that Mills was described as a mining industry insider when his own Bio and presentations makes it clear he is not.

Mills makes a number of statments so I'm unsure what "the same thing is" .. but as far as the two points raised in the GP comment go:

1) Rio Tinto has 'recently' improved throughput using semi autonomous Haulpaks, trains, plants [1] and 'proved' that this works to the order of some ~ 800 million tonne per annum. They also have well advanced plans for a very different type of mining operation for a USD $64 billion copper resource in the US .. should that go ahead.

2) New operations do typically take ten years to bring up to production from (say) exploration drilling to mine opening ... however that's very much the rythm of the domain, relatively steady demand and growth sees forward planners leaving new $360 million capital investments "uncommitted" as long as possible - when the last active resource tails off, a new one is bought online. There's no hard constraint that prevents them bought online faster other than fear of surplus crashing price - typically there are many potential green sites ready to be advanced through further exploration and into economic feasibily technical reports and intial prospectus raising (to meet mine plant costs).

Slashdot doesn't have the volume. Don't know about image boards but are they threaded and do they cover as many topics?

The Daily Mail (the newspaper) has been used for training LLMs in the past, yes. I don't know if it still is.
There's another fine line the mods walk: in the past the reddit admins have threatened to simply clean house and appoint new subreddit moderators in the event of an extended subreddit blackout.
Some of the very first reports of log4j were against Minecraft servers. If you go look at the original Github issue in which it was identified, all of the posts prior to anyone understanding its gravity were from Minecraft server operators.
The issue with that approach is AFAIK with the costs (and environmental impact) of the transport.

While the pre-drilled holes tend to weight little, the "doughnut" (usually made in reinforced concrete) around them is really heavy, and then there is the problem of size, you cannot usually transport anything wider than 2.50 or 3.00 meters, but you have also limits in height (bridges cross the route are a problem) so you cannot physically transport more than (maybe) a 1/4 of a pre-drilled hole (with its outer concrete shell) with one truck.
Eventually yes, but that's not the immediate problem.

400 years to boil the oceans, but that kind of timescale means we can have 300 years of business as usual followed by using a von Neumann probe to rearrange Mercury into a Dyson swarm, at which point the Earth's temperature is under total external control because we can switch the sun off when we don't like the heat.

OK, so more like "hiding" the sun — switching it off is still possible with a Dyson swarm but I don't know how long that takes — but from the point of view of Earth it might as well be switching it off.
Maybe it doesn't work so well when you are not a heavy user and the algorithm doesn't have a lot of data to work with. (I personally have spent way too much time there in the past, which makes the recommendations even better, and so on, leading to addiction.)
One of the biggest challenges will be drivers for the actual hardware - at the moment it looks like they have support for SPI and for built in LEDs. But it's a big challenge to expose all the different peripherals that come with MCUs in a consistent way.

My understanding is that they make the distinction on this being painted on canvas and not cells.

But things like Snow White was of course colored using brushes, so it would be reasonable to refer to them as painted as well, although we usually call them “drawn”
Reddit already lets you take over someone’s subreddit if they haven’t posted in N months which happened to me when my subreddit was humming along nicely with no need for me to log into my mod account.

Just giving a subreddit away fits right into that ethos of temporary ownership.
I think pay is the only reason. Those big tech companies seem to pay a lot. They don't offer much stability, stock is only interesting for small but growing companies, and if you want fulfilling work, look for a company where you can really make a difference, and not a behemoth.

This is correct.

But we are not talking about them using too weak RSA keys from 2 decades ago, or even not about transmitting passwords unencrypted, so anyone with a right radio could glean that.

We are talking about a complete lack of any access control. Like two wires instead of an ignition lock. An electric box with a mechanical meter and switches would at least have a padlock on it.

Are these changes to school textbooks politically/religiously motivated? Debatable.

Do these changes de-emphasize science education or merely reorganize it? Also debatable.

Are these debates fairly represented by this nature.com article in a balanced way? NOT AT ALL.

The bigger story here is the decline in credibility suffered by nature.com due to its publication of such an unbalanced article.

nature.com used to be one of the gold standard for scientific publications. When they publish garbage like this, more people start to lean "anti-science".

That’s not a fair summary of his position. If you read his testament, they really screwed him over, lied to him, and didn’t give him a realistic chance to turn any reasonable amount of his revenue to Reddit.

Even if he could lower the average number of API calls per daily user, they’re not even in the same ballpark, expense-wise.
It's only 48 hours if reddit lets it.
Digg users went to Reddit, a viable alternative. There's nowhere for Reddit users to exodus to.

It might require the full spike protein, not just the receptor binding domain which is what the mRNA vaccines include.

Also, I'm not sure how the coronavirus proper gets into the brain, but it seems likely it's through infecting some cell that crosses over, rather than directly getting past the blood-brain barrier. That's less relevant for the mRNA vaccines because A) mRNA doesn't replicate and B) the spike proteins that get produced mostly get chopped up before they can leave the cells (they're not budding off into viral envelopes after all.)

Also, nearly everyone in the world has had the real thing now - that's a lot more spike than the vaccines contain, orders of magnitude more.

I’m just one Apollo user, but I don’t plan to install the official app. It’s terrible and riddled with ads.

It’s the same reason I don’t use instagram—seeing an ad every two images bugs the crap out of me. The difference with Reddit is there was a nice third party option.
How many times do you get a Discord server in your Google results when searching for something?

Reddit's value proposition is not the ego stroking of the 0.0000001% that are moderators, it's the discoverability and interoperability between unrelated niches.

Oh I read your other posts about no longer being able to run the business, your statement about not being able to sell them in good conscious just implied to me that you would otherwise be able to sell them.
Twitter has proven that not even that would matter. Network effects are too powerful. People use Reddit therefore people will use Reddit.

Once a company has a large enough network effect they can do almost anything and people won’t leave. I’ve come to believe that it’s the most powerful form of lock in.

Microsoft has a long history of fracturing programming language markets. It's not so much that it is a bad idea, more that it divides an already healthy market. There is MicroPython, Arduino, and Node-RED not to mention all of the C/C++ based systems out there: mBed, Zephyr, and RIOT OS. Another addition is not helpful.
Exactly, that's basically "not remote most of the time"
They should integrate with Zephyr OS, as they have a good generic sensor API, with tons of device drivers and platform support.
(Now former) people manager here. I had what I think was a pretty good system for managing a completely remote team that did very little group-based on work together:

1) Biweekly staff call. This was scheduled for an hour, with the understanding we would end it early if we ran out of things to talk about. Normal topics were company updates, new initiatives our team was expected to participate in and an open forum for discussion amongst the entire team.

2) Bi-weekly 1:1 calls, offset from the bi-weekly staff call. I set these for 30 minutes, but had a buffer in case they went long. These were the standard 1:1. For new hires, these were weekly for the first 6 months or so.

3) Adhoc communication in-between via text, Slack, Zoom, etc.

You (OP) mention not feeling like you need the calls. You are not alone in this feeling, and it might not be a “feeling.” You might not need the calls. When I was an IC, I never really understood the need for the calls either - if I needed something from my boss, I’d call him up and ask. Some people are like that.

When I became a manager, I scheduled those calls because that’s what you’re supposed to do and I was very concerned about doing what I was supposed to do. I hadn’t ever been a manager before, didn’t really know what I was doing, and had just been handed the reins of a high-producing team.

That said, I found most of the team did want an individual touch point. Some just wanted to shoot the breeze for a bit, others wanted to talk through a problem they had or show off something cool they had been working on. One guy scheduled his own 1:1 before I could and every time had a checklist he would go through, describing every significant thing he had worked on since we last spoke.

Over time, I evolved to the system I described above. My main goal was to ensure I talked to everyone at least once a week, mainly to make sure they were ok and didn’t have any un-aired needs. At our company we had lots of meetings and lots of conference calls, so I figured the bi-weekly cadence would cut down on the meeting load for my team at least a little.
