I think it is easy to severely underestimate the number of persons who engage with porn and NSFW content everyday, along with the volume of content.

One quick glance at the Reddit hysteria will show that people are particularly bummed about the NSFW changes. Like, really bummed. Same with Pornhub limiting its service in Utah, and people of Utah immediately learning what VPNs are. Additionally, there are human trafficking rings around the world that thrive for a reason (e.g., Epstein). With VR you have sensorimotor gadgets you can sync to your virtual world, and it is completely immersive. As you become desensitized to one fetish, you can purchase a new fetish experience. Porn is a lucrative path.

For me, I like humans, the "in real life" kind to be exact. So it's not a hot selling point, for me. I do like to study how humans "human." And porn is front and center for many people, for all sorts of different reasons.
Google’s DeepMind AI Shatters Records with a 70% Faster Sorting Algorithm
I think that was a function of the VC model of "throw 15 baseballs, hope one gets hit out of the park".

Hit it out of the park is usually meant somehow jamming yourself into a pre-existing economic relationship (taxis, food delivery, apartment rentals) and extracting rents.

Hopefully high interest rates will cause those "startups" to die a grisly death.
web3 failed because it was a rebranding exercise by cryptocurrency holders trying to create new demand for their random numbers.

Centralized servers aren’t archaic, they’re a natural outcome of how social systems work: finding communities is hard; people want to contribute their ideas, not play sysadmin; spammers and AI researchers will create enormous costs for you; etc. If you federate, you will have more time dealing with those issues than a single focused competitor and you are unlikely to see free contributions which outweigh those costs.

Everything you mentioned is available now on Mastodon, and it’s really interesting to see how that works. Some people love having a small network of their friends, but a lot of people have trouble finding people they want to follow. Instances can have their own rules but dealing with abuse is now a multiparty process and since a lot of instances are run by volunteers that can be slow, unreliable, and inconsistent. Some small servers get hammered by storage and bandwidth demand but there’s no great path to monetization unless you have a ton of users willing to pay more than most people are used to paying for internet services.

In general, these are social problems and there is only so much technology can do to improve them.
WWII started just before WWI. Some people call the Second World War part 2 of the first. At the time people were worried that the settlement with Germany was just an armistice. Those people turned out to be right.

I’m not saying you’re wrong, just that we should be very very careful treating the wars like they were unrelated incidents. They absolutely were not.
Ah interesting. What's the difference? Isn't it just finding the minimal mapping of character sequences to numbers?
It's 100 qpm per oauth client ID, which is tied to the developer's account in the API portal (at least that's how it worked when I used the API in the past). I suppose someone could make an app that lets users provide their own API keys, but most people aren't going to go through the hassle of setting up a dev account and generating API keys. That might also be a TOS violation?
Royal Mail is not a government organisation any more, it's a public listed company
Yes, they did. They had a calculated marketing campaign where they paid various influencers to market towards their respective audiences. I'm sure they made a risk analysis - and if you look at other transgender influencers paid by other companies who were spared this moral outcry, you'll see that it's more bad luck than anything else that the conserviative media machine focused so much on them.
> Yes they are.

What evidence do you have?
Weirdly enough, it’s not automated.

I’ve recently submitted a valid DMCA against a play store app (that was simply a web view embedding my app without authorization, claiming it as theirs) and weirdly enough they emailed back saying they will not be acting on it.

So now they’ve abandoned their safe harbor and I’ll have to file a claim against Google, instead of them just doing the right thing.
Here's the original article it links to:

https://apnews.com/article/india-coal-pause-plan-climate-ren...

Some of the useful tidbits:

- India currently plans on reaching net-zero by 2070.

- This does pause any coal power plants under construction, and for now doesn't prevent planning to add new coal power plants after 2027

- Lots of increased electricity demand during the day to to hotter weather and longer summers because of climate change can be met by solar power.

- India plans on adding 500 GW of clean energy by 2030, but needs to pick up the pace to meet the target (from 17 GW constructed/ year to 40 GW constructed/year ).

- Instead of 8GW of new Coal capacity, India would be building out battery storage instead.

I do wonder how needs will go down, if India's population starts dropping earlier than expected. India's population is expected to start dropping by 2050.

I'm guessing you did not read past the headline. The criticism is valid, the chatbot was telling a confessed anorexic that the solution to her problems was to cut calories. That's definitely unhelpful.
Can you please add this as an option? Context is extremely important. If it's also possible to save the content of the post, that would also be extremely useful.

Finally one additional suggestion which I guess might be doable (?) would be to submit the post URL to archive.org and include the archived URL in the database dump.
The same point everywhere - to drive discussion to popular posts and away from unpopular posts, and to encourage conformity to board culture through operant conditioning and gamification. If you give people a number and tell them that number is special, they'll do whatever they can to make that number go up, and to avoid whatever makes it go down.

At least in theory. In practice it's utterly useless because it's based on incorrect (or possibly outdated) assumptions about the nature and goals of HN's userbase (which I've decided to call the "good hacker" fallacy.)
I recommend watching Astartes, a fan made short that really captures the spirit of WH40K (based on my playing of Dark Heresy RPG).

Is there a way to get past the 999 comment limit?
There was always the possibility of some sort of aggregator/other front end sitting on top of the SO data. We just didn't know exactly what a successful one would look like until relatively recently. I always limited how much I contributed based on that as likely outcome. Discontinuing the data dump is a much bigger deal to me and completely changes the value proposition of their various sites.
I think the timeline is the other way round there :)
Accidents due to carelessness and greed lack the same intent as terrorism.

You may recall Exxon's famous memos from the 60s or 70s when they realized that continued use of fossil fuels was going to incinerate the planet.
No, it's not. It's 100 qpm per client id, i.e. app.
EV battery swapping could compete with charging networks
Re: I Don't Use Copilot
Image recognition using AI algorithms that automatically identify and classify objects, scenes or.patterns within them. There are many companies which are providing these services. You just search and select the best one.
> do we even need these communities

Absolutely. Though I think we go back to individual sites/forums (like HN is for startup/tech basically) instead of centralized platforms like reddit.
This obsessive horror with Lua's base-1 array numbering somehow overlooks the far more upsetting fact that `0` and `''` are both truthy in Lua.

To be clear: I love Lua; but if you're going to have a reaction, please react to the features that are genuinely counterintuitive, rather than (if you will) counter-counterintuitive.
What sort of move is lying from the point of view of business ethics?
Now, Windows 11 can be streamed on Mac computers built with M-series processors using a Cloud PC and the Windows 365 service.

So it's not really running on the hardware? Am I missing something silly? How does this fundamentally differ from me RD or VNC'ing into my Windows machine? Other than the long list of limitations they list - which I don't have when RD'ing to my Windows box?
The person who posted the content is legally liable, not the company that created the tool, no matter how advanced it is. OpenAI didn’t go out and post the content.
Much already has, and it's very sad, as Discord creates an entirely different "feel" for a community, and is not visible to the Internet at large.
Some people actually get pretty invested in fictional facism and real Facists sometimes get invested in fictional facism because of the Facism. There are people for example on /empiredidnothingwrong that take it seriously.

Artists can put significant effort into showing an ideology or something as "clearly the bad guys" and people will choose to ignore that. See for example, all the people yelling that Tom Morello is "getting political" and how the original star wars film was intentionally an anti-vietnam film.
It doesn't literally need to be a desert. Just somewhere with low population density. This isn't a final disposal site. Just a central monitored place to hold the waste in a warehouse before the fuel is recycled or buried. The casks are rated for 100+ years and if they wear out, it's easy to swap casks.

Deep borehole tech is readily available since America got so good at shale operations. It would be extremely cheap compared to building a huge underground facility like Finland is planning.

> That's a lot of time (and associated costs) in human lifetimes.

Again, no monitoring necessary once you bury it several km underground and fill the channel with concrete.
There is currently a turn based CRPG in beta by owlcat (They created two successful pathfinder CRPGs). It looks great so far.

You underestimate the staying power of a network.
WW1 was an exact showcasing of what he meant. Combined hubris on all sides led to massive destruction for essentially nothing.

WW2 was just before nukes, and also had actors like the Nazis that were completely off the spectrum - where they would eradicate or dominate opponents if they were to win.

We then saw the Cold War, where the Soviets and US never felt compelled to have an open confrontation because the costs were so high and the end goals of both sides weren't to conquer the other (just carve up the rest of the world as much as possible).

Now we're at China vs the US -- they are competing over future influence but the costs of confrontation are too high.

Putin/Russia thought the Ukraine thing would be a quick victory where the West would be too slow/split to act effectively in time and then they would solidify the new "facts on the ground" easily.
The reddit post title mirrored on HN is intentionally vague.

For those not closely following the Reddit killing off third party clients via API price gouging drama, this is one of the Reddit co-founders and its current CEO u/spez (Steve Huffman) doing a live AMA.
Its even more incredible that investors are going to pile into the IPO.

...What are the odds of Reddit being the next Facebook instead of the next MySpace? It has to be astronomically low.
Race and gender swapping every established popular character? Checklist casting? Butchering She-Hulk and The Wasp with this insane "girl boss" fetish (Let's not forget the cringe girlboss moment from Endgame)? Making shows like "Echo" and "Agatha Harkness" that appeal to almost no one for the sake of having female leads?

This isn't even considering the comics, which as an industry, has been dying because of all the same behaviors. Last I heard The Punisher's wife came back from the dead to berate him for killing people and to divorce him.

Who wants to read that tripe? Who wants to listen to Ant-man's annoying daughter lecture people? No one.
The subway doesn’t keep to a strict schedule (it has one in theory but no one would depend on it), and has anywhere between 3 and 20 minute headways (time between trains).

You can sort of kind of get close to 1-2 minutes of slack if you have an app telling you how far away the subway is (CityMapper has this feature), but you can’t really time your sleep or known work hours for making a specific subway.
They should ask themselves why we should pay for lawyers at all if we can ask ChatGPT the same things and get answers of the same quality.
Why would 3rd party apps have stricter requirements than the official app?
It just depends on what your timeline is. Tech is very ephemeral, so anything that exists today will be gone eventually. So build an app using an api, but i would not rely on it to be a viable product for more than a couple of years.

So its fine if you want beer money, but it wont be a career.
The biggest most reliable charging network is NACS, and GM/Ford want access to it to sell cars.

The hardware is better, see - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsNiupN1X7s

The software didn't have to be so bad for CCS, and maybe it still will be for third parties in the future even with the NACS adapter. What can be guaranteed is that with this change there will more more and more reliable Tesla brand superchargers out there.

This is more a statement from GM/Ford that third party chargers have failed and we can't rely on them. GM/Ford aren't going to build their own network so their only option is to join Tesla.
Reddit is one of the most-used pornography sites on the internet, mostly because it's mixed in with a much larger amount of non-pornographic content so can't be filtered by the usual domain-blocking tools. Children are certainly accessing porn via both the website and apps that use the Reddit API.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was the first step towards removing all the pornography off Reddit entirely, for good reason as much of it is very extreme and not something children should be looking at at all really. And even more of it is degrading to women, depicting them just as holes to fuck. It was worse in the past too, with so-called "jailbait" subreddits and pornographic images of dead women, which were only removed after a considerable amount of pressure on the admins. Really makes one wonder what their priorities are.
I am leaving Reddit because I use Apollo and I don't think their mobile site or app are acceptable. I would like to try Tildes but I cannot because it's invite only and I don't have the time to figure out where to get an invite. I'll check out Lemmy. Thanks for the suggestions.
What does "toxic" mean in this case. AFAIK "toxic" can mean that you will get a headache if you eat a gram, but it can also mean that it will kill you if it touches your skin.
For example I do not mind drinking a beer or two, which includes 5% of toxic ethanol, but I prefer not having lead in my drinking water.
Reddit may be making their claims based on an app that doesn't issue push notifications and thus doesn't need to poll their servers 24/7 for every user.
My Symbolics XL1200 Lisp Machine had size 9U x 400 Eurocard boards, with 7 slots. It comes with one Ivory Main Board and one Ivory I/O Board.
Any scone I've ever eaten (around the world) was sweetened to some degree. American southern style biscuits are unsweetened and have a higher fat content than a scone. It's really hard to find decent ones outside of their natural range, even throughout a lot of the USA. I would never order them in say, Seattle.

I see where you're coming from, but...

A lot of the stuff the Imperium does is not just evil but also stupidly counterproductive. Planets starving due to rounding errors in the filing system is hard to take as an endorsement. And I couldn't disagree more with the Tau, if anything I wish they had made them more sinister. Having a whole faction of non-tragic good guys in the setting really spoils the vibe.

But the Orks - agree so hard. There's a quote in a Codex somewhere from an Eldar philosopher waxing on the point that the Orks are thriving and living their true lives, while the Eldar are decaying as a result of their own corruption and therefore the Orks are morally superior, and it rings quite true.
There was a show called “my weird addiction” or something similar. A young good looking couple would frequently take breaks to do coffee enemas. She likes “Java” or something, he preferred something else and more like espresso. I think they had a kid. Only episode I ever watched.

What a treat.
It's definitely like Magic the Gathering - a rich man's game.
I mean, 3rd party developers could already restrict NSFW content, so I don’t think forcing it on them is much of a help…

One problem could be JWT. Anybody can use the bearer tokens from the portal and then use K6 to flood any endpoint. If you are willing to pay for the attack which states often do.
Ah, I may consider selling an api service, for extraction(by Python script) and summarization(by OpenAI)...
Huffman has been the CEO in charge of Reddit when they implemented both "New Reddit" and their mobile apps. I wonder if he's at least a little embarrassed that his team can't make something as well liked and good as some solo developers with only API access, not hundreds of millions of dollars.

Nothing I've seen from Reddit the last years have been particularly impressive, they even used some third party company for their chat functionality which I don't think many users wanted or used. At least the uptime seems to have improved.

I think it was intentionally worded this way, to sound like its per user.
I have two anecdotes now. They have reached the threshold of "actual data". One datum is a five star, the other is a 1 star.

This means with some unusually high level of certainty, that the experience is actually only mildly/moderately good.

Also, the correct approach is to heed the author's every other word. But when I attempt to do that, the statements make little sense, like "can't the through ears" or "You reach brain the".
On the contrary, mentioning St Martin would paint a picture of the struggles the company is facing.

If they were doing well, the CEO would be in St Barts.

I don't think that would have passed congress; the political reality in the US is different than Sweden.
I don't think that China has any interest in conquering the rest of World. They just want to be rich. They are stealing IP and spying. The fact that the US needs to use military force is a failure of policy.

Violence is the last resort of the incompetent.

I think that China is pulling on the US what the US did to the Soviet Union. The US bankrupted the Soviet Union with an arms race. China is doing it much more economically by spending 1/3 of the US. This is money that the US could be using to build a high speed rail network or educating its citizens.
It's really amazing to me how instinctive behavior works and what that reveals about how the brain works. Like an instinctive behaivor would need an instinctive pathway from stimulus to processing to motor response. In order for such a thing to work properly there must be hardcoded protocols along that entire path - i.e. not learnt.
There may be some limited local learning along the way, for instance the input pipeline may learn to tune out some defects or noise.
Another interesting point is that our conscious minds can interact in some limited ways with our instincts, it can be influenced by being put in a certain emotional state, and it can to some extent suppress or override the natural response, e.g. not flinching away from pain. Thus at the boundaries the conscious mind must also speak these common protocols. Then it follows that reinforcement learning in the brain is quite limited in where it happens.

This is a wonderful project! I've been thinking a lot about making such a unified desktop stack for a while now; web technology has matured to the point where I think it's feasible to build a complete environment a la Smalltalk/Symbolics but with a modern feature set.

Obviously this has deficiencies but like it or not the web _is_ computing for the vast majority of people and exploring/pushing its limits of user experience is something few at all seem interested in.

Projects like Arc[1] and suckless[2] approach browsers in novel (albeit divergent) ways, but as a whole it seems to be a very unexplored problem space.

The idea of an Engelbart[3] style system built for the modern hypermedia-capable platform is an intoxicating one that desperately needs more attention.

Did you read my previous comment? I explained reasonably clearly that they didn't focus on making a good movie. You yourself are saying that destroying Luke Skywalker and redefining the Mary Sue trope doesn't seem like what the public wanted. But I'll guarantee you that there was a lot of market research which determined that:

- strong female leads are popular

- "defying expectations" is popular

- Marvel style humor is popular

And when you put those things together without caring about making a good movie, you will do things like destroying Luke Skywalker, or redefining the Mary Sue trope. These things didn't happen because they wanted them to happen, they happened because they didn't care enough to not make them happen.
