Complete anecdata but this appears to have happened where I live. Urban-ish neighborhood (it'd be "urban" to most of the USA, but not to say someone living in Manhattan). The area in general has a lot of rat issues. But our little half block radius never did.

There was a feral cat colony that lived in an abandoned building right at the epicenter. Few years back that building was torn down and new condos went up, and the feral cat colony is no more.

Go figure, our little neck of the woods now has the same rat issues as everyone else near us.
It has a reasonable chunk of the most active users.

Sure, it doesn't have ads in today, but it could, so there is opportunity cost.
my bad, it totally is!
One has to note though, those paydrivers aren't the best possible people to drive those cars for sure, but many of them are very, very talented drivers - just not enough to be sitting there purely on merit.

We all, for example, made fun of Nikita Mazepin, many calling him Mazespin and such (and hated him for his personality etc.). Even that kid was better (in some ways) than a lot of non-F1 drivers with quite successful racing careers.

There are some embarrassing examples we all know, but I'd say 80% are really good, just not F1 (or 2, 3) level.
Such a great little website. you can see it was more orange than Hackernews header just 2 days back.
We do not have a working economic nuclear grid. So it is irresponsible to advocate a nuclear grid unless throwing hundreds of billions of taxpayer money at Bechtel and friends is your goal.
Here is how to write a C compiler in Python that correctly compile the vast majority of C programs per the ISO C standard:

print(“You have some form of undefined behavior, which means printing this is a valid response per the C standard”)
Maybe that'll come in the future, but the fact that they are asking people (only those already located within driving distance to an office) to reconsider is evidence in the other direction to me. They could just end remote work altogether but are choosing not to.
Yes, absolutely. TikToken is quite heavily optimized. If I wanted to write a tokenizer I'd just use their Rust backend and invoke it via an FFI, or translate it mechanically into another language. Actually, GPT-4 is quite good at code language translation so I'd just ask it to do the work.
My argument against parallels drawn Digg is simply current users of the internet. In 2010-2011 people were more likely to experiment with different social forums, websites, and etc. Also the age of the users were always on the younger side. Nowadays it’s fairly different, and seems like users are more sticky and will only flock to an already established websites, so unless Reddit becomes genuinely unusable (broken native client, dead infrastructure and etc.), majority of the users will stay on and contribute. It’s similar to “Twitter exodus”, which didn’t happen. Obviously things might go downhill for the company, but people go in for their quick dopamine hits, not for some dramatic battle between evil (Reddit corp) and good (Apollo).

Not to sound too pessimistic, but most of the mods of the bigger subreddits aren’t going to give up either, since it’s a part of their life, and not really their battle.

I really hope I am wrong though, since it’s about time we have something new and shiny.
There are uncontroversial models of human intelligence that are Bayesian

But they're still models. Anyone claiming that Bayesian/statistical models have intelligence is confusing the map for the territory.
That is a good point. His 'a la prima' technique was crafted to produce quick results that either succeed or failed: quality via quantity. Typically, his paintings took one or two days to produce.
Given the mishaps of the past such as stealth editing comments of other users, I would not at all be surprised if these comments were made by alt accounts of u/spez.
It doesn't show adverts that otherwise would be shown on the official reddit app.

Sync is similar. I have a one-time purchase for "ad free" Sync. That stops me seeing adverts I would see in the official app for a fraction of the cost of reddit premium.
Any developer should be proud of the value that code/backend provided millions of users.
There are teas with very strong flavours, as other have mentioned.

Matcha ( Japanese powdered green tea ), houji-cha ( roasted green tea ), mugi-cha ( barley tea ), et al.

You're out of luck avoiding acrylamide though, as most teas have it as well.

There is a study about amounts of it in black vs green and other different types, but honestly, avoiding acrylamide in general is not just very difficult, but also not very useful considering as others have said something like the particulate matter in air or metals and PFAS in water.

Getting good air and water filters would be doing much more for your health than radically altering your diet to avoid all baked goods, bread, cacao, all teas, coffee and whatnot.
> My point of view on this is that this type of AI cannot reason

but it can answer the glass door push or pull question (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35506666), albeit a bit off (it didn't understand the mirrored writing).

But some other models had gotten the right answer.

This points to some evidence of being able to derive logical reasoning. Just because the model is "doing statistical guessing of the next word", doesn't mean this process does not produce logical reasoning as an outcome.

I mean why are power lines not locked up and buried underground secured locked steel cages?

Because some things work better with trust vs convoluted security.

I think this is something a lot of computer nerds don't get (myself included at one point). It's almost like if something can be accessed we are allowed to access it and it's the fault of the person securing it. But a lot of our society works on trust and I think we'd live in a much more difficult world if everything had to be secure enough to resist any attack.

If this thing was connected to the internet I get it, but you already need physical access to the meter why add another layer of security on top of that? If someone has wants to mess up your power and they have physical access there's plenty of ways they can do it without wireless communication.
> Was that one of the issues that reddit had with how apollo was using their apis?

I doubt reddit had any actual issues other than it impacting profits and no optimization to Apollo would fix it.
Don't be ashamed of code you wrote that wasn't intended for an audience.

Most would hate to see what a sausage gets made out of, but nearly everyone will eat that same sausage.
> Those moderators aren't doing their work for free, so why should anyone else?

Because they actively volunteer to do so.
Or that company cares what the Reddit community thinks and is convinced that they have an ace in the hole. An ace like, say, having full control over the platform and being able to make the AMA look like it goes however they want it to.
Realistically, these changes won't affect me directly. I pop onto Reddit a handful of times per month to view a local group. For that the website suffices (even though it is horrible on mobile).

I will probably be indirectly affected by any migration of people who do care, people like the mods who keep that local group sane. Why should they continue donating their time to a corporation who is actively making their life harder? Why would I want to visit a forum where that is full of crud because noone care to moderate it? Why would I want to visit a forum that lacks insightful gems because the people who care to post those gems have moved on because they don't want to deal with the crud either.

Realistically speaking, the API thing is unlikely to alter my use of Reddit. Reddit probably wouldn't care if it did anyway since I'm unlikely to be in their target audience. That said, potential changes in the atmosphere of Reddit are very likely to alter my use of Reddit. I've also been on the Internet long enough to see platforms rise then fall from grace, so I view it as a real possibility. (Albeit, I also realize that the fall takes much longer than many would have us believe.)
They are a pair rather than a linked list, you could have a list in first and an item in tail. People just usually see them as lists. But they are binary trees.

Left and right might make sense. But then you get into endianness.
That's not what's happening here.

This device is not designed to "self destruct" with a specific command. It is following normal service commands.

The correct analogy would be if you command a robot to move so it falls off a cliff, this is not a "self destruct" command.
Is Google still run by engineers who would even consider such a thought? Or are the higher ranks filling with sales and marketing who have and largely different mindset and work preferences?
I'm trying to understand what is this and it seems I'm missing a lot of context. Could someone help me understand what is this and why is important ? Thank you.
There is also a huge resentment among users about getting advertisements from Hobby Lobby. Their "He Get Sus" campaign is obnoxious and the $5,000,000 that Hobby Lobby has promised is worth more to Reddit than all of their users.

I think the Digg similarity is correct. For the sake of a buck, Reddit is going to destroy their userbase. CNN has shown us just how quick that sort of downfall can be. Chasing conservative money looks appealing to money counters, but if it is the enemy of your customers, then you may as well file bankruptcy right away.
Yeah, but the sound energy usually dissipates by the point it arrives at your ear. Unless you shoot a gun right next to your head, which is probably not what you want to replicate.

I always felt I lacked context on the why, since I'm not American and all.

But now I get it. Over here, uncomfortably close to Russia, until 2022 people thought Russians have some scary stuff in store, considering they've spent an estimated $600bln on modernizing their military.

They do not. But the thought was genuinely scary.
Theoretically it could do it all from the app, but it would have to resort to background updates, which are scheduled at iOS’ discretion. Christian was aiming for consistency, which is why this exists.
>Photography couldn’t qualify as an art in its own right, the explanation went, because it lacked “something beyond mere mechanism at the bottom of it.”

That has nothing to do with the technology, that has everything to do with the quality.

Is it art if I take a picture with the cap on? No. Is it art if I take a picture of a tan colored wall? No.

Is it art if I set up something beautiful and take a picture. Its closer to art than the previous few examples.

If I write a prompt that says: "a green bedroom with art work on the walls", to be inspired, that still isnt trying to be art.

Basically, have higher standards.
As someone who used to stand or move around while gaming, I'd much rather go back to that than sitting. Unfortunately for me I love the precision of a keyboard and mouse. One day I'll find the right compromise.
Rats generally avoid areas where cats live, though.
I also know people with this view, but I do judge them for it because its pragmatically nonsensical. It made sense back in the age of muskets when well-regulated colonial militias could enforce the will of the colony (and when colonies got together, they could even hold their own against a major European power, albeit one located across an ocean).

These days, nothing individuals (or even groups of individuals) can acquire holds a candle to what governments (the US being a world leader in this regard) are equipped with, so there is no endgame for gun ownership as a means of defense against one's government.
why am I getting random responses when I private chat with my chirper?
Running a social media site and handling all the moderation and other legal issues seems like

* a giant headache

* a totally different skill set from building an app

Anyway the code is o̶p̶e̶n̶ ̶s̶o̶u̶r̶c̶e̶ probably going to be open source soon and his company is probably not going to keep working on it now that Reddit has basically wiped out their business model, so we may as well ask why don’t you or I fork the code and then create the social media site?
> 3. cats control rats population

I'm not here to tell you I know the absolute truth on the matter, but I can say definitively that your assertion of this fact extends beyond conclusive data. Cats decrease rat sightings, but urban rat populations are good at evading them [1, 2]. Where cats do prey on rats, it's usually juveniles with ultimately little effect on local populations [3, 4].

It's easy to imagine that a certain percentage of the birds cats are killing are ill or old. Yet in the absence of actual data, your assumption that this is the bulk of bird deaths seems like obvious wishful thinking. It's also just as easy to imagine many of the deaths are juvenile / nesting birds too. And unlike rats, most birds can't repopulate so quickly.

The Dingo – Low Cost, Open-Source Robot Quadruped
My classic example case is actually even simpler IMHO:

type subscriptionId = string;

const uid: userId = 'userA';
const sid: subscriptionId = uid; // compiler is OK with this
My all time favorite is still when we tested chemo-like AIDs drugs on foster kids without guardians. Side-effects to include:

Why would you spend your own money renting office space somewhere and commuting there when you have a perfectly good office your company will pay for?
Reddit's doom has been announced over and over again since they started raising the bar for what is an "acceptable" sub-reddit in 2011.

The reality is that Reddit hasn't ceased growing since then. The same thing happened with YouTube. YouTube pushed its content to switch from filthyfrank to Jimmy Kimmel/Fallon. Advertisers are not interested in us, early-adopters, mostly young and middle-aged western males. They want kids and soccer-moms: they're less likely to install an ad-blocker, and have a much wider range of products for which they're the target audience.

I think we need to understand that we were never the target audience.

Reddit, like YouTube, will do more than fine. The early-adopters just won't be part of it.

My hope is that we will go back to independently ran niche-community bulletin-boards, like in the 2000s with phpBB, instead of piggy-backing on some other new for-profit corporate walled-garden.
It’s odd that the S3 isn’t supported when the S2 is the same LX7 based core and as far as ESP-IDF bring up is concerned it’s pretty much just some io_mux_reg and other definitions (at least when I ported Nesper to the S3 from the original ESP32 project)

Though it also seems like it doesn’t use both of the LX7 cores:

Ask HN: Unhappy with Reddit - what revenue model works for you?
Following the saga about Reddit, I am siding with Reddit. If your users get the value from unofficial clients, by passing the ads - your main revenue stream, it is only reasonable to ask them pay. I don’t use Reddit unofficial clients, but I appreciate the fact that I do not have to use Fastmail’s email clients and use my client of choice. Fastmail is ok with it as they get my money anyway, and I like this model. What would you rather Reddit (and other similar services) do?
The main reason is push notifications. A lot of the communication can be direct, but not the push notifications.
No. That’s the issue. Without moderators and posters, there’s no subreddits. Without Reddit, Inc., there’s no subreddits. In my experience, when trapped in a causality dilemma, it’s preferable to be thankful for both the chicken and the egg and not ask too many questions.
Haven't the Americans looked for a reason to invade Canada, for like ... forever?
Very cute, although I'd like to see what the results are like when choosing the dominant rather than the average color.
War in Afghanistan (2001–2021) - Goat hearders defeat the most powerful military on earth

Vietnam War (1955 - 1975) - Textile workers defeat the most powerful military on earth

American Revolutionary War (1775-1783) - Pilgrims defeat the most powerful military on earth

Also note Germany had strong gun laws after WW1 while France was limited to shotguns and hunting rifles.
The general unwillingness of people to do unpaid labour for a website that is actively working against them.

It's difficult enough to find anyone willing to actually put the hard yards in to moderation as it is, let alone when all of the resources and tools currently at moderator disposal get shut down.
Was the driver not responsible for that financially? It’s my (limited) understanding that crashes due to non-mechanical failures are the financial responsibility of the driver.
I doubt you will find anything which does just what you want. I created a Google form in 2020 which sends data into sheets where I have some routines to analyse it. Still going and works well.
They could be reproduced, but it would be expensive and impractical for most environments.

Actually I think recording the sounds with a good dynamic range is probably the harder problem, but I'm pretty sure with some post production that would be possible as well.
Yeah they're just taking away access from the exact set of people who'll benefit the userbase most(mods, indie devs etc.) and still reserving it for corporations with the money to pay. It's not wrong to expect enterprise prices for enterprise use but surely it shouldn't be unfeasible for individuals either. Spotify does it well, by restricting use of 3rd party clients to those with a paid subscription, I think people would be less worried if they did something similar.

Lots of ways to do what Reddit is doing and it almost feels like they've picked the worst one.

edit: feels eerily similar to Twitter, which has changed for the worse at this point.
Now just can -- when disassembling a mechanical wristwatch you realize that these things were built with serviceability in mind. There's no glue, everything comes apart with ease. That's one of the main reasons for my fascination with them. How many other things in our daily lives are built like this?
Where are you seeing these stats?
God I hope you're right.
The denial-of-service scenario does not render the issue moot; on the contrary, it is another example of what can go wrong when these devices are not secured properly.

In general you have a point, but making these devices accessible to remote tampering is an avoidable escalation of risk with no counterbalancing upside.
I would demolish a couple hot dogs right about now…
>I trust a company with $2.8T to lose more than almost any other actor to abide by the letter of their agreements.

Woah, do not do this. Don't you remember the Butterfly keyboard denials, the 'holding the phone wrong', etc...?

The only reason you have trust is because they are the best company at marketing of all time. You were manipulated into trusting them. That is a huge red flag.
Thought can be seen as a process that encompasses both rational and irrational thinking. Rational thought, in programming languages, involves precise logic, determinism, and the ability to simulate outcomes. On the other hand, human language, like English, embraces subjective interpretation and approximations, allowing for the expression of emotions and nuanced understanding.

Thought, as a cognitive process, can bridge the gap between these two realms, enabling individuals to move back and forth between rational and irrational modes of thinking, depending on the context and objectives at hand.

With data, unstructured text could be considered "irrational" and structured text (like code or a column in a database) could be considered "rational".
Show HN: Portfolio Manager Extension for Trade Republic
A Chrome Extension collects data from Trade Republic and providing valuable insights, no trade actions involved. All data stored locally.
So I do primarily App/Extension development, and I've been doing it for about 15 years now.

The short answer: You must have an interface you control, because app store review times mean there is no "hot fix".

When something upstream of the client breaks - you are DAYS (assume 24 to 48 hours for review, after you fix the bug) from being able to get a new client in front of users, and several weeks out from having all of your users (all being some accepted percentage - I use ~95% for my releases) actually update to the latest version.

If that "something upstream" is you - you can usually plan for it, release the updated client ahead of time, get it rolled out, then pull support for the old feature.

If that "something upstream" is reddit... They break things, and they might (but probably won't) inform you ahead of time. You will have many, many more outages.
Why do you presume that would be better? For one, it would make more blood drain from your brain.
The Pencil is not a primary interface for iOS it is a specialized device that provides greater resolution than a finger. People love to try to point out how inconsistent and hypocritical Apple is and the criticism is usual unfounded, not thought through,...
I have no idea which is more rational. I only mean to say one side gets a lot more oxygen.
Well yes, at some point in many people’s lives, renting a crappy apartment or buying a small condo in a failing, crime-ridden city ceases to be a compelling life choice.

I think the takeaway is that the CIA doesn't do anything nefarious nowadays. After all those sizeable reforms and firings, the CIA is now a completely benign entity. After those famous reforms that they had. It is now for instance illegal for the CIA to have psyops propaganda campaigns targeting American civilians for instance. Thank god for all those reforms that they have had. Those good old CIA reformed fellas.
