Personally I think the best alternatives are what we’ve already been using: discourse, Matrix, Mastodon, Zulip, Github Issues, and community forums.

For finding new interesting content, I strongly believe that instead of creating a new platform someone should create a “hub”: a centralized aggregator which presents all of these platforms in a consistent format. A place where you can find various forums and Zulip / Mastodon instances, get a feed of their posts, and even create accounts and make posts/comments; but it doesn’t host the instances or posts themselves, it just uses their APIs. It can also host some of the archived / scraped data from SE and Reddit for consistency. The reasons being:

- The platforms I mention already exist for many communities, and there’s already a lot of difficulty in finding content. This has been a good idea way before platforms started closing off their content

- Creating a fully-centralized platform is actually way harder than creating a decentralized one. At the same time, it’s very important that whatever platform we use is easy for newcomers, easy to find content, and fast; all properties of centralized servers. Hence, the centralized entry-point and hub but decentralized instances works well.

- Mastodon has a centralized hub but tbh it sucks. Discourse, Matrix, Zulip, etc. have none. And of course there’s no hub which supports all of these platforms together.

- I’ve only heard bad things about Lemmy and the UI is crap.

I would absolutely love to help such a project but, like many unfortunately, don’t have the time or networking ability to start it myself. But if I see a Show HN or something similar which seems like it’s actually getting momentum I will try to contribute

I took a few of those USB-PD decoy boards and soldered them to some universal power jacks. Now I have a home kit that can power any legacy barrel-jack devices. I did have to label each cable with the hard-wired voltage so I don't mix them up.

No idea. Also, I suspect Apollo made a judgment error in looking at their usage stats through the lens of the mean, rather than their median and 99% percentile, usage.

They likely have power users greatly pulling that mean up that, in all cases, should probably be capped.

EDIT: Ooof, people dislike this thought. Has the Apollo dev spoken out about their approach? I'll be the first to admit I haven't seen reddit's entire debacle, but thought I was reasonably following the play by play.

Libya was unfortunately in earnest, but for exactly the right reasons.

We didn't seek to conquer it, occupy it, or annex it. We did seek to support a popular uprising against a vicious dictator [edit: Something that we've unfortunately over-promised and failed to deliver on too many times, e.g. Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Kurdistan, Hmong people, any war where the Pentagon seizes on a "third way"], but we did that based on a doctrine that security for ourselves needed democracy abroad, especially in the Middle East and North Africa. Let me make the alternative case for a second: Helping democratic movements in the ME/NA was a misguided proposition, as obviously the region has zero history of popular governance and the only actual alternative to authoritarian rule there on the ground is, and has always been, hardcore 7th century Islamism which is among other uglinesses and human rights abuses, deeply unfriendly to us. And therefore it was a fool's errand to overthrow any dictator in the ME, because they were the ones keeping the street quiet.

Okay, now that I've made that case, here's the case for helping overturn Qaddafi and try for Libyan democracy: He was murdering his own people. He had done, and he would do it again. And given the climate, his state would become again a breeding ground for terrorism as it had been in the 70s and 80s.

Personally, I think it was stupid, but I don't think it was wrong in the sense that Russia invading Ukraine was wrong - precisely because I don't think propping up a dictatorship is morally valid, the way Russia was propping up Ukraine before 2014 and the way it still does in Belarus and all the former Soviet states.

What I'm saying is that the moral decisions are frequently poor strategic decisions, and they rarely work in concert, but the failure of one doesn't nullify the other; nor do our strategic failures provide justification for the moral failures of others. If something is wrong then replicating it would also be wrong, no?
Apollo uses an average of 324 requests per user per day, according to the developer's farewell announcement posted yesterday [0].

I hadn't heard anything about the "Free Data API" limit of 100 qpm before this either, so I assume the issues is that the free API is filtered and does not include any "mature content".

Actually, my argument was "the meter should be designed to be robust enough to prevent this particular issue".

As the other commenter stated, that does not in any way imply "robust against all possible issues coming upstream" and it would be ridiculous to expect that.
The economics of forgoing a $1B movie release for a $10/month subscription instead, that math will never add up.

Which is why Hollywood is cutting back on writers pay, actors pay, etc ... and hence the guild strikes.

There's also GAAP accounting issues as well on timing of match those expenses to revenue.

I think you are vastly underestimating the complexity and inefficiency of doing this for one of the most visited websites in the world.
I'm exactly like this. I would never take VC (or similar) money for a couple of reasons, but this is the primary one.

If the idea is great enough for me to devote my life to, it's great enough to be able to do it without involving VCs.

That said, there are certain types of ventures (that I don't happen to be interested in) that require enormous sums of initial investment. That's where VCs can be genuinely useful.

But it isn't how most companies that take VC money are.

Fix that, then? I keep hearing about all of these nightmare scenarios, dreamed up by paranoiacs.

I'm agreeing with you. What you said happens. We must fix that.

This is not a given, though: it has guaranteed forward compatibility, not backward compatibility.

The difference between "evolve" and "mutate" is fitness to function.
I dunno...

This sounds like making diffusion backwards compatible with ESRGAN. Technically they are both upscaling denoisers (with finetunes for specific tasks), and you can set up objective tests compatible with both, but actual way they are used is so different that its not even a good performance measurement.

The same thing applies to recent LLMs, and the structural changes are only going to get more drastic and fundamental. For instance, what about LLMs with seperate instruction and data context? Or multimodal LLMs with multiple inputs/outputs? Or LLMs that finetune themselves during inference? That is just scratching the surface.
So all the top responses to the top comments in the thread are going to be “seriously, this” and nobody is going to see how spez actually responds. Classic.

I think the idea behind them was you'd read them and when coming across a topic of interest you'd hit up the card catalogue at the library to find books that go deeper into the topic.
It's true that LLMs cannot replace mental health professionals. It's also true that mental health professionals cannot replace LLMs (even within the realm of mental health).

I personally have a lot of resentment towards the therapeutic process. In short, the fact that the therapist wouldn't actually get involved in my life, wouldn't let down the boundaries, was quite painful. I understand there are many reasons for those boundaries to exist and I do not think they should change. I'm not proposing any changes to the therapy industry. I do believe the therapy industry should continue and believe it will help many people.

In short, what I am saying is that the therapy industry has one box, and not everyone is going to find what they need inside that one box, inside those boundaries. In the vast realm of mental health problems and needs, you can't tell me that one industry has the solution for every person and every problem.

I've found LLMs to be more helpful than my therapist was. There's no artificial boundaries. The LLM is a computer program and that's all I expect it to be. It's available 24/7. It is far more consistent than a human can ever be; it doesn't have good and bad days. The LLMs are helpful to me, but I'm also in a good enough head space that I wont be harmed if they malfunction. I do believe they can be dangerous, but so can a therapist.

I think there's a future for mental health focused LLMs, probably larger larger than you would think.

(Before disagreeing, remember that I have mostly focused on my own personal experience as someone who has gone to therapy. I encourage others to form their own opinions and if you believe therapy might help you, try it; it is safer than an LLM and has helped many people.)
It’s incredible to me that VCs willingly invest in a company run by someone with the maturity of a 16-year-old.

IMO, investors should ensure that a CEO can pass a 100 level undergrad PR class before handing them millions of dollars.
Bit disappointing that we haven't seen a competitor pop up since the announcement. With the instant hardware access of AWS and the infinite money of Silicon Valley banks, it's a bit shameful that no one is rushing to fill the market need.

"Old" Chrome Apps were disabled, it doesn't run on any new versions of Chrome.
There are lots, but here is one examples:

In "Falcon and the Winter Soldier" there is a random scene where the police hassle Falcon. (this was shortly after tragic George Floyd incident). It wasn't part of the story, had nothing to do with the plot. Why was that there? The first thing they teach you in dramatic writing is cut fluff. That was fluff that just got people worked up.

"She Hulk" also was filled with political narratives.

And again, I'm not taking a political stand here. I'm just saying when I sit down to watch a Marvel show, I want to escape and have fun. I don't want to be reminded of controversial political issues - unless it's essential to the plot. Otherwise, if I wanted to watch a show about politics, I'd just turn on the news for free instead of paying for Disney+.

Side note: I heard second hand from someone who works at Disney that Tune out Times (ToTs)- when a user stops watching a show, spike at these things. The data is telling them they're aggravating their audience, but they just keep on trucking... God knows why. They're a business, not a political activist group.
It's not a compression issue. You have some state in your head (which is crosslinked to other state) and you are trying to get someone else to have the same schemas in their head. But you don't really know what's already in their head.

At least in 1:1 conversation you can use an interactive, iterative process which has a higher probability of success (in the article's example: the author spoke to someone and then got a question back indicating a complete lack of understanding). Still pretty terrible, but the best we have got.

It's about as unified as it's creativity-free. Disney is killing both universes, one is just way more blatant than the other.

Let's say Apollo has 1 million users (I think the actual # is significantly higher). Reddit doesn't have a push API for notifications (like if someone messages you or replies to your comment), so you have to poll. Just checking those inboxes once per week gets you to 100 queries per minute. In reality, most people want inbox notifications more frequently than that.

And in the meantime, users are also upvoting posts, commenting, scrolling, and doing other things that cut into the API quota
I have ~100k on reddit, but somehow hacker news managed to make my ~500 points feel far more valuable.
That was my initial question too, but note it's per oauth application. It could be that per-user it could get under 100, but in aggregate the only way they'd get there is if only one person used Apollo at a time.
If the chemicals are bad, and everywhere, we need a reaction time faster than 50 years.

For new inventions (not well-known issues), it would be far better to be fast-reacting and no-fault rather than slow-reacting with vengeance.

Run studies as the use of the chemicals scales up and start raising warnings early so the company has time to collect more information and adapt formulas or applications. As the costs become apparent, start placing those costs on the companies ahead of time rather than 50 years later. That will sort out who really needs the new chemical, versus who just wants to spray it everywhere.
Eventually perhaps, but is it fair to demand that everyone subjects themselves to that in the years or decades that that process takes?

This is a quantitative disagreement. Not emacs vs vim. Straight numbers.

Reddit says the API will cost less than a $1/month per user. [1]

Apollo says the API will cost $2.50/month per user. [2]

Moreover, Apollo claims that Reddit itself makes only $0.12/month per user, therefore the API charges are absurd. [2]

What are the correct numbers? These are numbers, not opinions.

EDIT: One issue...I suspect that Apollo users are significantly more active than the average Reddit MAU. Say, 4x more active. So the $0.12/month revenue estimate is like (for example) $0.50 per Apollo user.

These are the Icelandic Sagas, which means stories taking place on Iceland.

In addition there exist a number of sagas written in Icelandic which takes place before the settlement of Iceland. These are often more fantastic and with more supernatural elements and sometimes guest appearances by the Norse Gods (although the authors are always quick to point out that they are not actually Gods, but just Turks.)

IMO the fact that everyone is a bad guy, essentially, in 40k makes the satire less obvious. Because it is just a crap sack universe, the bad guy stuff they the Imperium does is too easy to write off as just necessary.

IMO they should have made the Tau not evil (make the mind control vibes just imperial propaganda that is the result of actually encountering people motivated to do good).

As it is, the Orks seem to be the least evil faction.

Why not? Those two things seem unrelated to me.
I think maybe we're confusing terms here. Breaking up a company normally means separated into smaller existing companies. If you buy 3m's candy bar division, you still might be on the hook for the forever chemicals the candy shop dumped in the river.

If you're just talking about dissolving a company and selling off the tangible assets, not selling off functional business units then I agree, liability doesn't follow material Goods. This generally isn't considered breaking up a company.

Breaking up a large company into smaller ones during bankruptcy does not by default absolve the smaller companies of liability.
Courts can add bankruptcy settlement terms that absolve a company of liability moving forward, but these can be applied to the company at all as a whole or the smaller businesses if it is broken up.

Wouldn't there be meaning in saying it would take this much energy to push all the matter in the universe to one place?

Which that amount should be increasing as space-time expands.

Thought experiment, if you could place a mass of an arbitrary amount at any one point in space, how much mass would you need such that all the mass of the universe is now falling towards it.

Or could you bend space-time to a point that all mass falls into it.

I'm 100% opposed to telling people how to speak their language. I don't even like telling people who use English as a lingua franca how to use it in a culturally "correct" way.

Normally, I'm outspoken against most "domestic" proposals to change words, since the rationale and implementation are usually very poor.

But as an American, I've decided that Turkiye without the ü is more desirable than Turkey. It resolves an annoyingly ambiguous search term, doesn't change anything about how it's pronounced, reads the exact same way, and it's trivial to switch how I write it. It really is a superior design with a painless transition.
