I think there’s nuance to be had here. Terms have been overloaded, and individuals aren’t necessarily acting in bad faith. ML can be considered to be a subset of AI.

That being said, ML is extremely boring to me, and I really do think a lot of the research is an enormous grift. Hop on the bandwagon, read a stats book, flagrantly plagiarize it, submit to CS journal that no statisticians read, publish and don’t perish, rinse, repeat.

It feels like society has spent billions of dollars on bad academics continuously reinventing applied statistics over and over again, but now with Big Data and a brand refresh! It’s like a whole generation of academics watched one too many terrible Hollywood remakes. It broke their brains, and now they’re only doing remakes too.

They ran out of statistics content to steal, so now the latest and greatest thing is plagiarizing classical AI works from the late 20th century and calling it “reinforcement learning.”

It’s all very frustrating. We could’ve funded a Manhattan project for fusion power, but instead thousands of our most brilliant people are wasting their time and humanity’s carbon budget to create the most powerful spambot ever.
It’s also incredibly risky. You need a tipping point of people on the platform.

It's not. This is disaster planning.

We're being forced to bring production back home because we can't keep outsourcing to a region subject to control by a potential adversary. If war breaks out with China, access to Taiwan for chips or Vietnam for socks is going to become difficult. Blockades will be immediate.

If this were about money, we'd move production to South America. That we're keeping it this close to home after years of shopping everything globally suggests we're building infrastructure for a supply chain that can't be interfered with by foreign governments.
They did make i.reddit.com which was a nice, fast, usable mobile site with no ads, and no app required.

They shut it down two months ago.
I didn't attempt to delve into that, so ...

With Gödel, there is the space of the possible, the invention indeed being the axiomatic foundation that engenders the space of possibilities. If the space of possibilities is disconnected, intuitive jumps are required to arrived at unreacheable truths. So yes, here we are 'discovering' -- learning the membership set of true statements -- but these are existing things only in the context of the invention, which is why it is correct to say they are discovered in a relative sense.
VHS was the right tech
Why, it's closed to new members so no one comments. It's not a place to replace reddit. You are better off going to slashdot.. similiar level of conversation as reddit and many more comments and similiar number of daily stories compared to lobste.rs
> Maybe it is still doing good work. ... I really don't know.

Nothingburger. You say you're ignorant, hand-wave an argument that government is generally bad, and conclude that a "hard reset" is not a bad idea. This line of reasoning screams "chesterson's fence."
All of these 3rd social media clients really are “freeloaders” though, I don’t get what’s so controversial about shutting them down. If I made my own Netflix client that bypasses their revenue stream, and implemented my own revenue stream on top of it, would anybody be upset or surprised if it was shut down?
I did. A poorly behaved student would close the page. How are you going to stop that? Real children don't pay attention in the classroom.

Personally I found the demo kind of cringe - why the drake meme? Computers do not "struggle with too many digits" why use a metaphor that's just wrong?

With the "1 to 2 Machine" Demo the only feedback you get on no action is "green box is looking a bit empty." Not engaging really.

I think this would be useful for a motivated kid, but in that case Khan Academy already has way more content and is free. Don't see why you'd pay $50/month. That's to say nothing of YouTube which has even more content than Khan Academy, and is again free (or $15 if you don't want the ads).

Finally, I don't really see the "AI" here. The demo as constructed is basically a Google Slide deck with some JavaScript sprinkled in. A true "AI" experience would be that you, at any moment can ask for help and contextually it would help you. So in the case I described earlier it might go back and redisplay with arrows, or perhaps make the colors even more obvious.

Taurine does not contribute to protein structure.

Taurine helps regulate the levels of water and minerals in the blood, contributing to overall fluid balance and proper functioning of the muscles and nerves.

Also it acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain.

Taurine is found in high amounts in the eye and it's thought to protect against retinal degeneration.

Finally Taurine is used in the formation of bile salts.

But, unlike most amino acids it’s not used in protein synthesis.
Sometimes it happens, but often it doesn't.

We set up https://discourse.haskell.org a few years ago. It's reasonably active, but topics still tend to get more engagement on /r/haskell. I expect it comes down to discoverability and convenience: people are already have accounts on Reddit, know to look for topical subreddits there and are comfortable with it.

It would be great to get more people on the Discourse rather than Reddit. Would love to hear suggestions for making it easier for people to find!
Yet Digg.com for whatever reason still exists.

I wonder how these old websites that seemingly no one uses still churn out money?

The API pricing is what Reddit claims to be "server cost break even point". https://www.reddit.com/r/redditdev/comments/13wsiks/api_upda...

> Was the asking price really so unreasonable?

Most third-party apps have announced shutdown plans. they would not do this if the pricing was reasonable.
I am tired of seeing this website linked everywhere. People are posting it like a Pavlovian reflex any time Manjaro is mentioned in order to cancel the distribution, even if the criticism is very mild in my eyes. It is merely fuel for the distro war, which is a big deterrent for newcomers.
Let us not forget that they have been "experimenting" with killing mobile browser access on users: https://old.reddit.com/r/help/comments/135tly1/helpdid_reddi...

This is the death knell of Reddit, and I hope that the blackout succeeds in getting them to revert their greedy plan.
Yeah we’ve got ~20 or so of the Ikea ones and we do love them, but a few have chipped in that way.

They’re still amazing for the price though considering how thick they are and how heat/cold/etc resistant they are. Many other brands crack if dropped even a small distance, or shatter if pouring hot food directly in from the stove.
Personal Defense Weapon, the Parallel Data Warehouse reddit, or one of the_donald knockoffs (Truth Social etc) I guess?
Users in a browser can see ads; the cost is subsidised.
It is probably easy if you know people there. Unfortunately I don’t and neither my German friends (already asked on German IRC etc). It’s hard to find a way into that community if don’t already know English speaking people who are in this niche.

These “protests” strike me as strange. Ostensibly, everyone’s goal is for Reddit to reverse their decision. However, I can’t help but think many users want to quit Reddit, and this is the straw that is breaking the camel’s back.

its not the only way to ensure a community survives, forums have existed before reddit and will exist later. You even have examples of communities that left, created their own version of reddit and seem to be doing fine.

> Reddit leadership has already proven they only wish to harm both shareholders and the community at large under the guise of "increasing shareholder value" and shove their fiduciary duty under the bus.

reddit isn't a public company, so unless the current owners who are the ones putting all this in motion are looking into self-flagellation they haven't proven a thing.
The reality is that reddit is huge, and most users couldn't care less about all this drama.
But this article is from 2016, seems relevant to me.
Fun fact: Reddit was backed by YC back in the day when they launched.

Also, people are probably interested to see if Reddit will collapse or not. And to find out where people will go instead.
14 years on reddit as a user, 16 years reading it... Lobste.rs looks exactly like Reddit did in 2006 or so. I'd love to be back in a space like that.
Completely agreed. I’ve been using EndeavourOS for half a year now, and it’s great. It’s almost the same as vanilla Arch, just with more packages installed by default and a few UX improvements.
That's why the blackout needs to be permanent. If even 25% of the users have no clue what's happening and thinks Reddit is crapping out for a couple days they'll shrug their shoulders and use it 48 hours later when it's back up. I don't understand what they think they're protesting by timeboxing it .. Reddit can afford wait it out 48 hours and plan for that.

I guarantee people are going to get an error they can't view the subreddit without reading why they can't.
Using Reddit via browser here, never used an app for it yet as I like tabs.
What the specific difference is, is that on grapheneos I can control the sandboxing myself with storage scopes and contact scopes. On iOS in terms of security the sandboxing is good but the user is treated like a child who shall not be able to customize because they could mess it up. Same exact thing with the installation of apps from unknown sources.

I’ll be honest, HN is the last place I’d expect to find people who underestimate the difficulty of creating a social network, but every single post about Reddit lately has had one or more comments about how the creators of Reddit clients should “just” make their own backend and take their users with them.

Didn't they say somewhere the API fees won't apply to accessibility focused apps today? Either way, reddit will be dead if they go through with this, so let's make sure the next big thing we pick has accessibility in mind out of the gate.
I thought Reddit announced they would exempt accessibility-focused apps from their API charges in an attempt to not cut off, among others, the blind.

Burning the GDP of the 2nd largest oil producing nation on the planet to recreate the bus from first principles while replacing the driver with an engineering and liability nightmare doesn't sound like good decision-making. Why do investors hate the idea of low wage workers this much?
I posted a reply, but I think ultimately this is just a coincidence. There's a naïve reason that "mov S P" looks redundant ("just use S instead of P later"), but in typical GPT fashion, this is specious, and can't actually be done. It's essentially trying to swap two variables without using a temporary. If x86 had a conditional swap instruction, it could, but it doesn't, and just doing "cmp,cmov,cmov" can't handle it.

Another giveaway is that removing that line in the real optimization changes the output of the provided snippet if C < B. It feels like a hard sell to say GPT picked this line for that subtle reason based on information not provided, but explained it with something only correct at surface level.

This has been my Reddit app for ages. I've paid for the Pro version a long time ago. Sad to this go.

Tech blogs are the standard way tech companies advertise to engineers. You must understand a tech blog is not meant for you to "tell" tech blogs exist for you to "show."

If you think of your blog as an advertisement with technical info you will fail. If you think of your blog as a public display of technologies and processes that people might find useful or relevant to their work, it can succeed.

After tech blogs, getting other people to mention you or display artifacts related to your company seems valuable.

Showing up at things like DefCon or other conferences and interacting with people in good faith seems productive.

I think the engineer crowd is a crowd that will smell bullshit and recoil, but if you're not a pest and show (not tell) that you can reduce workload, I think all of us would like less problems to think about.
Don't ask me. The whole setup is kinda sketchy IMO, I'd be careful what you post there. At least one person was arrested for comments made on the site. Obviously, you shouldn't post things that could be construed as a threat on any forum... but that one in particular is likely some sort of honeypot.

These engineers are literally killing us with the mess they invented; making us pay for maintenance of the same.

CHAdeMO was just an extreme early optimization. It supports 400A/1kVDC(400kW) on basically the same connector as the original L1 plug for a Leaf, supporting faster charging than V3 Supercharger, which… just later turned out to be a moot point.
This could be as consequential as the time all Reddit shut down to protest net neutrality.
There is no such thing as 0 tollerance. Don't believe the anti-alcohol hype. There is such thing as hormesis, for basically any poison.
But that would likely mean removing sensors or reducing resolution, which would make it completely different than vision pro. I highly doubt Apple could reduce the price for the same product given the number of sensors and the quality of screen.
Has anyone verified this (the Mail.app) part themselves, or is the blog post just going off of Apple's press release? The press release:

> Link Tracking Protection in Messages, Mail, and Safari Private Browsing
> "Some websites add extra information to their URLs in order to track users across other websites. Now this information will be removed from the links users share in Messages and Mail, and the links will still work as expected. This information will also be removed from links in Safari Private Browsing."

Note that it says "links _users_ share". That part seems unnecessary if it's _all_ links in emails. I think it points to this feature being more about protecting a user from inadvertently forwarding their email to someone else, while not realizing it has personal identifiers in the links? Preventing others from unsubscribing them, or even auto-logging-in etc.

Though, I personally haven't seen iOS17 remove any query params from emails at all, maybe will have to wait for the next beta to find out.

Can anyone care to explain why this is downvoted? I'm upvoting now so it may not continue to appear that way, but (besides that I loathe downvoted comments with no responses):

I'm a Manjaro user specifically because of the easy install. It's not that I'm not capable (Linux/sysadmin internals are interesting to me and I am often going down rabbit holes and exploring distro differences) but it's just that (a) when I want to install an OS I usually want to be up and running fast and (b) I'd like something with more conventions so when things do inevitably go wrong it's a bit easier to reason about the system relative to other users.

So I'm wondering if my next install should be Arch or one of the other Arch-based distro -- is archinstall not a 15 minute install or does it have some other pressing issue?
A.k.a. Wikia.
I quit reddit a while ago and found it very rewarding. I used to argue with people all the time -- yes under subreddits like r/ProgrammerHumor because I disagree with other people's opinions or because their technical understanding is simply wrong -- anyway, it turned out to be a great decision. I realized that most of the time it is pointless to convince other people of anything (people won't admit you are right or don't have the background to understand it), and I should just simply spend my time elsewhere. Most of the memes on ProgrammerHumor are some form of reposts anyway. I spent time on my hobbies and actually reading/learning/trying out new stuff in programming, and my mental health is in a much better place now.
I hate what Reddit has become but there's no good alternatives, aside from rdrama.net
Reddit made a huge mistake taking VC money and trying to become billionaires. They could have maintained a smaller footprint and created essentially a lifestyle business like Craigslist and served the world.

Taking VC money and trying to extract more money from its users is going to change the site irrevocably.

And the biggest problem I have with Reddit is that the investors and employees are going to become rich off the backs of the moderators who are the ones that create the culture and the content for free. They get zilch except a thank you from the millionaires. And the mods are so dumb they don’t seem to realize this.
This isn’t good sociological theory, because it’s based on one man’s observations rather than actual research. You can see this in the evolution from the threefold model —- it’s just “my experiences are different, therefore.”

That said it was important to say system does matter. Lots of fruitful discussion came out of these models. They’re just not particularly rigorous.

It’s also worth noting that the Wikipedia article is incorrect. Ron didn’t intend to say “players have one of three mutually-exclusive perspectives,” although given that the original essay said “I’m a hard-core Narrativist” it’s easy to understand where people get that impression. But Ron has a series of posts about picking up Tunnels and Trolls and playing with the Gamist creative agenda: he thinks that games should have one clear perspective, and that you should play them with that perspective. But any given player may well enjoy one, two, or all three of the styles at different times.
Not the worst idea.... Build an API that sits as a middleman to reddits api, it's paid for... But caches requests to cut costs.

That seems like a strong statement. Currently on /r/all, top posts 1, 3, 5, 6, and 14 are all regarding this. Some pretty major subreddits are planning on joining in on the protests.
