It’s incredibly frustrating when you take the time to write something out- something that benefits others and does nothing for you, like sharing your experience or knowledge- only to have the comment removed for one bullshit reason or another.
I have never written hate speech or anything racist or in that vein on Reddit, yet I’ve been censored and banned so many times by what I can only assume are children (or children at heart) with too much free time on their hands. I was a mod for a large subreddit for years and not once did I feel the need to ban anyone. The downvote system is pretty effective- the comments and posts that are downvoted enough, and it doesn’t take much, are hidden. There. The commenter retains their right to free speech, and doesn’t get frustrated that they were moderated/censored/punished for expressing themselves, and if the “community” decides it’s a “bad” comment, it’s hidden- effectively deleted as far as anyone who is truly prone to clutching pearls is concerned.
That being said, my mental health is way better now that all my accounts have been banned from subreddits I liked and I’m essentially pushed off of Reddit to healthier activities such as touching grass.
that "something" is pretty obvious: people are asking their questions to ChatGPT. Fewer questions -> fewer answers. I've done queries into the Stack Exchange network's public data dump and put my analysis here: https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/389960/997587
I think with almost any other protest group, trespassing would not be being thought of this severely.
Also they do work for occasional switch of under heavy load. And occasional here being in order of once a year rate at most frequent.

Still, maybe they should have better security. Specially as there is radio interface.
China is large enough to keep nuclear as an option, no matter the economic considerations, but the amount China builds barely makes a blip on the radar compared to renewables.

Finally, I've been waiting for this for years now!

Now it's just a matter of continuing to expand the integrations. Will have to look at what the process looks like for creating custom integrations for existing libraries when non exist.

Obviously she understood that she was doing something bad. It's weird that people on social media expect 13 year olds to understand the value of money when they've never worked for it.
I thought this was universal (in Greece) until I moved in the city center of Athens. I now only see stray dogs as an exception, e.g. in tourist-heavy, central places. I genuinely have no idea if it's the state's responsibility.

Cats of course, are still everywhere.
Yep, definitely agreed on the security aspect.
I don't think that Zuckerberg would be excited for making money from VR some time in far future, he is already very rich.
One could argue the ability control power under load is a safety feature. What if they hardened the wireless attack surface and added a manual safety switch which could also be used to intentionally brake the device, would that be better? I don’t think it would. I really don’t think the device needs to be stupid proof at the expense of the ability to be directly controlled by not-stupid persons and above.
The pre-IPO process often involves all kinds of fun short-term profit maximizing activities.
Thanks for recommending this. It's on crunchyroll and I just started watching. Couple episodes in and loving it.
I would probably expect a collision avoidance in ultra-modern farming tractor. Or at least it to monitor what is in front and stop if clearly unexpected object would be in the path. They are nearly self-driving anyway. And critical failure is expensive in many ways.

Now, smart meter being able to shut power off is somewhat expected. But I would also expect it to be protected command.
I definitely agree with this.

Those huge open plan offices of the 1970s looked amazing in magazine photo-shoots. If you're C-suite suit you can really preside over a room like that.

Like a newsroom bullpen seen from a balcony above, lots of noise, lots of activity.

It's a just bummer if your job is to think carefully about stuff without distraction.
I'm not calling any of them solo productions. Linux and the internet were both massively collaborative projects built by many people who met up maybe once or twice a year, and certainly not all of them at once ever. They were globally distributed. Being in an office together was not necessary for the success of those things, which were some of the hardest technical research projects ever, so I'm questioning if people really need to be in-person to make YouTube or GMail.

(I don't know the history of git, maybe that too though.)
I'm currently seeing it like the introduction of the ipad. At first I was snarky about "what is this even for? It's way too expensive. Why would anyone use one? It's just a big phone" And they were mainly bought by people with disposable income.

Where as nowadays tablets have become a staple and it's very common to own one, and often not own a computer. I ate my words.

So at the moment there's a few players in the VR/AR landscape, maybe something big will come of it, maybe it won't. But I think it's too early to tell
So I checked internally and this version actually doesn’t come from our nginx, but upstream, which is Webflow here

> The question is how many of those users will move to Reddit's official app after June 30, and how many will look for alternative platforms that aren't so manipulative and abusive. I for one have deleted my Reddit account and won't be going back.

I think you're in the minority. If there was a well known Reddit alternative at the moment, I could see Reddit having their Digg moment and losing a large part of the community. Subreddits could blackout and threaten to leave to the other website. That is something that would be taken seriously. Dozens of subreddits with 1-50 million users potentially jumping ship at once. If you had the right platform, with the right attributes and reputation, the stars would be perfectly aligned to take in a mass number of Reddit users. But, no one is in the right position to catch the ball at the moment (I don't claim it's an easy position to be in). It's actually unfortunate, because these moments don't come too often and I believe it allows Reddit to make these changes with little repercussions. Fans of old.reddit.com better watch out, I bet it's on the chopping block within the next year.

Now the farthest direct train from Berlin seems to go to Przemyśl in Poland by the Ukrainian border: https://direkt.bahn.guru/?origin=8011102

To go to Russia, you needed special trains as they don't use European gauge, electricity or train control standards there. We have a few in Helsinki but now they would be useful only if donated to Ukraine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegro_(train)
I was a Data Scientist. Personally I found the autonomy immensely frustrating. Combined with the stack ranking performance review system, it was effectively a way of pushing the manager's job on to the employee and forcing them to hold themselves accountable for their own priorities. Makes sense in theory, but once you add huge organization churn + being remote, it was difficult to get a sense of what priorities were exactly, or would be next month. It made me feel insecure at all times that perhaps I was working on the wrong thing and would be punished for it.

Reddit ceo doing an AMA soon…wonder how rattled Reddit they are about all this.
In those cases where things are version sensitive, it's useful to put version info in the title. That way _everyone_ will know what version the question is about- people searching for answers, and people trying to curate the knowledge-base.
Just reading the reddit post I linked gives enough information on how to do it.

A couple of years ago, I sat down with my friend for a game of chess. After a few minutes of chatting and playing, I realised that I had completely forgotten he wasn’t really there.

I took my headset off and it was like he had just left the room. I think that being able to provide the feeling that someone you love is there with you (when they are far away) is why people use a lot of tech.

It was a feeling that 2d FaceTime just cannot give you (and it felt like a bigger advancement than going from a phone call to video calls).

If Vision Pro’s face reconstruction thing works well I can see that being the killer app.
The authors' argument about the 8.8% reduction hinges on both their assumption that it wouldn't be feasible to add to cows' diets on pastures and the uncertain possibility their guts would adapt and mitigate the effectiveness.

Yet the articles they cite (which both quote the same study) describe that on a diet of 0.75% seaweed (0.25% more than the research I saw years prior) only some cattle didn't like the taste and there was an unspecified reduction in feed intake, which hardly seems the foregone conclusion the Wired authors make it out to be. While the aspect about cows' gut reactions long term is also unknown, though one of their links mentions both a 72 and 90 day trial which showed no gut adaption or reduction in effectiveness which is said to be hopeful since 'most adaptations happen within a few weeks'.

Ironically the On Pasture link Wired cites for their argument against is more neutral/optimistic and also mentions that two other more common types of seaweed reduce methane output by 20% and encouraged experimenting with for cattle diets.
This is the nuclear industry's third attempt at "SMR". It is what they bounce to when the large-scale reactors get too expensive.

> We discover an existing thing.

This is hiding the assumption in plain sight in a different form. The question then would be: was x an existing thing that we "uncovered"/discovered (it has merely hidden) or we created it by thinking it into existence?

At least in terms of Mathematics, I do not think there is an objective answer for this question.

The definitions you provided are, IMO, just moving the problem to further concepts, that are also ill-defined. "Discovery mainly a learning process, Invention mainly a creative process", could mean almost anything. Also, as a rigorous definition, "mainly" does not cut it. It needs to be 100%.

Instead of pretending I know it is my opinion to accept they are merely two ways of looking at the same thing. At least, this is my position for now, until a proper argument emerges.

P.S. I see it as arguing which of 0.5 or 1/2 is the "true" number.
Other than Monads, HKT can be used to easily write type-level functional programs [1]. This can for example help writing type-level parsers for other lanugages.

A real world use-case could be parsing GraphQL raw string queries and automatically infer the returned types based on a common schema, without using special code-generators.
For instance you can come up with some magic function `gql_parsed` like:

doc = gql_parsed`query GetUser { user { name }}`

where doc is inferred as something like
Doc<Query<{GetUser:{user:{name:string}}}>>

Weekly? Too often. An hour? Too long.

A fortnightly 30min calendar event is about right, and even then sometimes we skip it because there's nothing to talk about. That's the point, it's there if we need it.
I think there is a certain kind of programmer who enjoys the aesthetics of higher-kinded types, and after having made the investment to truly grok them, wants these HKTs to also be useful in practice.

I don’t think the benefit ever materializes and highly abstract code is just indulgence.

Much like the people who endlessly tinker with their IDE/emacs/desktop environment/shell in the name of productivity.
How do Linux distros handle Qt not releasing updates anymore? Do they basically fork it?

I was so skeptical about the iPad, I really didn't understand the audience when it was introduced. I could do everything on my iPhone already anyway, it's just bigger and not a phone.

Little did I know that the iPad would slowly take away my time spent on my iPhone. So now I have a $1000 iPhone that I don't use that much (except when not at home), and I have an additional $750 iPad I spend 4+ hours / day on.

Not sure what happened, but I couldn't go back to just my iPhone anymore.

> humans can synthesize taurine, it's a major component of bile, so I'm unclear what mechanism could cause supplementation to have significant effects.

If the amount we synthesize drops over time then supplementing that would be beneficial?

I'm sure there are parallels in other things the body synthesizes
Forget the way that his paintings now decorate the front of chocolate-boxes, Van Gogh was one of the most hard-core artists who has ever lived. His relentless pursuit of 'vérité' drove his to some obsessive extremes.

- As a youngish man, he married a worn-out, alcoholic, middle-aged prostitute. It was she that likely gave him syphilis that in the end drove him insane. She eventually committed suicide.

- He was rejected from the priesthood for being a zealot.

- He started a simultaneous translation of the bible from Latin to English, German and French.

- On many occasions, attempting to create a spiritual union with the working class, he gave up his comfortable middle-class life to live a life of unreal austerity. This is where his painting 'The Potato Eaters' comes from.

- Even his own father wanted to commit him to a lunatic asylum.

He was also, quite frankly, very poorly gifted as an artist. Doubt me? Check out this drawing done when he was 27 (my 19 yo students can draw better): https://www.incredibleart.org/lessons/drama/carpenter.jpg

However, he was also uniquely bloody-minded and eventually found his own way of doing things which was crafted from diverse sources (impressionism, Japanese wood block prints, Dutch genre painting etc). Contributing to this was the atelier system, which was an art school system located away from the establishment.

If he had been born post 1960, he would have been another GG Allin.
> The CEO of the company spread a rumour, knowing its false, about him. That is Slander and it IS illegal.

It's something that's obviously true. It would usually be way more subtle.
Circa that time was also (in more professional context) the NCSA CAVE immersive visualization project.

For good measure, this was also the time of the Mosaic browser.

I think three decades is enough to suspect that if there was some unique added value from the VR concept (that goes beyond some very small niches), it would have been adopted more broadly, even with imperfect technologies.

Future developments (~5-10 yr) in other parts of the digital universe may bring use cases that are currently not visible to people with limited imagination. But usually short-termist corporates launching major products here-and-now does feel a bit odd to me.

Who knows, time will certainly tell.
My stomach can't stand non homogenized milk. My father, on the other hand, loves it. Both of us were raised on it, only I had to be trained with the stick to drink it as a child.

Both of us are lactose intolerant. God knows why he likes it and I don't.

By non-homogenized I mean straight from the cow, still warm.
Reddit banned my 17-year-old account as I was reporting all the scammy/crypto ads as misinformation. I didn't comment or post anything that would be considered a TOS / Policy violation, but they still banned my account under that. I asked for a review from the admin, and they replied that their decision is final and that I should look at the Content Policy and not violate it but never giving me the exact reason / policy violation.

Why invest your time/effort into any ecosystem which doesn't have a proper redressal mechanism?

I am not contributing to reddit anymore, I think as with all entities/companies/empires they are past their prime and they are on the down. I remember when a lot of users jumped ship from Digg to Reddit, I wish another entity comes along which is better than reddit.

> As FIRE explained in our April and May letters to the college, faculty have the right to speak as private citizens on matters of public concern

The employee absolutely has the right to say whatever they want (well, not whatever they want… there’s a whole set of things they cannot speak about. They cannot slander, they cannot reveal trade secrets, they cannot break copyright, they cannot incite violence, etc).

But that does not protect them from the consequences of saying what they want. Especially from private entities, such as The Mayo Clinic college of Medicine and Science is a private institution.

Now there may be many reasons that this might be bad and that we should be opposed to it.

But not because there’s a right to protection from the negative consequences of free speech, since such a thing doesn’t exist.
Non-patent-encumbered and standard are not the same thing at all. Platforms do not want to ship support for esoteric formats, and will fight back against adding anything not needed for long-term interoperability - for examples, see JPEG XL drama lately in Chrome.

This is for maintainability/security surface reasons as well as patent risks, as open/closed and standardized/bespoke axes have nothing to do with whether or not something is patent encumbered.
Actually, I'm not sure if it's entirely clear to anyone on the other side (or even the world at large) how to value something. To a large extent, Reddit has drunk the cool aid and internalized that APIs are worth X. So going to a meeting with the implicit assumption that everyone knows that pricing is BS is not a safe assumption. They've already had the pricing discussion, so throwing more oblique references to BS pricing is not productive. It's like in a normal human argument. Once you are at an impasse, throwing more facts or presenting a logical paradox doesn't change the other person's mind.
Luckily i can't use Reddit because i couldn't register an account on their site. Their SSO system is broken.
I've never had weekly 1:1s and rarely have monthly ones, but when I'm in a positioning when I'm managing people I always, always put in place a optional weekly 1:1 meeting which I used to just listen...

I always encourage colleagues to speak about anything they want, rant, complain ask for a raise, anything. It's their time and I'm all ears, but the most important thing is that I am always there for that time each week no matter what.

Without consistency it doesn't work.
> You had to go 5-6 layers up the reporting chain to find anyone with any sort of holistic sense of what needed to be done, and they were not exactly empowered to share that vision lest it conflict with someone elses.

OTOH, from personal experience working on-site hasn't really ever helped particularly well in that scenario (which I'mm all too familiar with.)
The key is over a large enough area and with enough integrated storage systems it all averages out. It ends up being a lot more decentralized and resilient.
It sounds like Cowen knows exactly what needs to happen to reduce the malaise of "quiet quitting" - show workers that their earnings can/will grow to account for inflation and whatever productivity increases they show, and since morale is already broken from COVID, it is on the employers to trigger the virtuous cycle. Unfortunately, it seems like telling the employers what they want to hear - "keep the beatings coming until the morale improves" - is the only thing he is willing to say.
I spent a year in the SLV, what a cool place! Great rock climbing, mountain climbing, skiing, biking, at such high elevation. The deer everywhere. Gorgeous weather (usually). Cool junk yards. Some great gems hidden away…

Definitely want to spend more time there.
They can do that but that will accelerate the titanic effect of those subs, moderation is already the weakest point of Reddit.
The problem is just that there are some people who are able to concentrate while lots of other people are having lots of non-related conversations around them in a cafeteria (sounds like this might be you), while others can't. And the latter will prefer home office to a cafeteria or even to the usual open-plan office...
Isn't this the Pareto principle in different flavour?

Sure, if you want expensive reactors. Much of the technological base on nuclear either:

1. Scales with square or cube laws.

2. Are essentially fixed.

A 100 MWe reactor requires a very similar amount of security as a 1600 MWe reactor, maintenance intervals are similar and so on.

Thus, it has been evident from the very first days that bigger is better, from an economic perspective because you get both a more efficient reactor and more output to spread the huge fixed costs on.

The problem has been that even the bigger reactors are hideously expensive. Nuclear power never breached the cusp where it would be worth it and today the cost to build new renewables are in the same range as the operations and maintenance cost of existing, paid off, nuclear plants. Let alone trying to build one.
