I wouldn't consider LLMs a software innovation.
The kernel code API is quite… unfinished. It isn’t documented, it performs no validation and it crashes the compiler when written incorrectly. It really isn’t ready for general use. It’s also expected to break in the next few releases.

I will have to revisit kernel code at some point in the future, probably when looking into WASM (which will break all uses of kernel code), but I have other, more important, features to add first.

That's what actors + pre-recordings are for (we could try using AI to generate the music live but that would make the actors' work more complicated and add more fail modes, why bother?). Note that using recordings already happened in the pre-AI era:

It's a classic challenge in Big Problem resolution:

- Is there a problem?

- What is the problem?

- What is its cause?

- How can it be remediated / addressed?

There are a few elements, though those tend to be the big ones. It's possible to go wrong at pretty much any point in the chain.

Afaik the currently best compression techniques use a neural network internally. So the distinction is perhaps not as clear as you might think.

They're not making profit, that's the entire point.

I'm similarly not a fan of discounting just how much money and work goes into building a company with millions of users, having helped do that in the past. My comment was not glib, it was entirely sincere; if you want to know just how much it costs, host your own community and see just how "greedy" it is.
If it's not out sailing, why are we waiting for the ship to return to port?
I wouldn’t say it’s so much “greed” as business models that don’t actually make money. Take investor money until you’ve gotten as big as you can with billions in valuation while making little to no profit, change business models to try to make yourself actually profitable, and in doing so “ruin” what was only possible while being supported by hopeful patient investors.

Thus begins your decline and the gamble for who gets stuck holding the bag.

I wouldn't be surprised if they have all this tech developed for 256TB hard drives already but they're deliberately announcing it slowly over the years to buffer their time to do more research, lest they announce 256TB too fast and shareholders are like "why don't we have 1PB already damnit" a quarter later and short the stock to oblivion

Russians started to clean up evidence, which points to BSL4 lab "Vector".

IMHO, this article is a part of their disinformation campaign. The name of their vaccine "Sputnik V" (Follower 5) suggests that there was "Something","Sputnik I", "Sputnik II", "Sputnik III", "Sputnik IV" before "Sputnik V".

It's impossible for Russians to produce 5 vaccines in row in such short span of time, just few months, which took billions of dollars and year of time for western companies.

IMHO, Russians started developing of their vaccine since SARS-CoV-1 outbreak in 2003.
I worked in this area of magnetics, and it’s been in research for at least 15 years. Companies had made devices by about 10 years ago but the storage capacities were low so they weren’t that useful for consumer applications at that point. The hard problem with HAMR is dissipating the heat.

What part is contradictory? Those moderators will be replaced by a similar number, ie less than 10, that can moderate the top 100 or so subs. My comment was on the scale of moderation required, at least for subs on /r/all which is what the vast majority of users use, not whether those exact moderators will still stick around. And you never know, mods might say they're going to quit but many mods might still stay. I don't expect to see power mods like GallowBoob going anywhere.

People keep talking about an AMA session, but there was none. Not every self post on reddit is an AMA session, and I don't think it's fair to call his post one and attack it on that basis.
In practice, there are no explicit constitutional protections for municipalities. So really, it's all states that can stomp on municipal legislation with impunity if they really felt like it. There might be a state constitution or two on the way, but those are easy to change, and many a state government is capable of either outright ignore constitutional changes brought in by voters, or do some aggressive deception in the drafting of summaries for constitutional propositions as to make them seem to do the opposite of what they really do. See a recent, pro-gerrymandering change to the Missouri constitution, which talked about independent commissions and cutting political donations, but really overrode earlier anti-gerrymandering language, and gave the governor total control over the process.

So broadly, the rights of local governments only go as far as the whims of the state government and the courts anyway, across the board.

I heard about the doxxing incident a while ago, seems like it's overblown as most people really don't care as much as he thinks they do) and based on the threads I've read on The Motte, it really doesn't seem like that. For example I recently read a thread on the Reddit API incident, it was fine. I also looked into some more controversial threads based on your comment such as with transgender, race, etc stuff, the content also seems even-handed based on what I've read. I'm sure there is some unsavory stuff just as in any forum but I just avoid those.
Or you know, just tell 3P apps, 30% of your top line is ours and call it a day. Would leave everyone thinking, well this is fair. The crazy part is how they are back tracking on things like API usage for mod tools and accessibility. They gave this zero thought when they made the decision. It’s kind of disgusting.

It’s not that third party apps want to freeload and therefore have triggered this boycott. A big part of the reason people are upset is the handling of the monetization of the API. The pricing is absurd compared to what similar services charge and the timeline for third parties to switch over is extremely limited. There are many other ways they could have monetized their API without triggering this backlash. For example, they could restrict API usage to people who pay for Reddit Premium. Then, given sufficient time, third parties could rearchitect their workflow to support this.

Also, people are upset at how Reddit management, especially their CEO (Steve Huffman), has handled this transition. The potentially libelous comments regarding Christian Selig (Apollo developer) are just one of the many things people are upset about. The bungled communication and lack of transparency just continues to show that Reddit just wants to squeeze value out of the community without any genuine effort to make it better.

I can’t say for sure whether the boycott will work or not. But I definitely can say that there will be lasting consequences. This is a negative inflection point for Reddit as a community and as a community, especially if they forcibly remod communities that go dark.

The silver lining is that if Reddit does manage to squeeze an IPO out of this, we all have a new stock to short ;)
According to that article you linked, Reddit started hosting their own images 3 years prior to that change.

As I recall, it was Reddit who moved away from Imgur, not the reverse.

Leaving aside the question of where and how the virus emerged, it's interesting to note that the lab was nigh useless during the pandemic, despite its main specialty was investigating Coronaviruses! It looks like a lot of dangerous research went on, and even if nothing bad happened because of that research, nothing was gained. A lot of risk for nothing.
I remember still when it was considered a conspiracy theory and we got downvoted here and banned on reddit for even implying the possibility. Unfortunately something similar is happening with AI x-risk right now.

Facebook has 3 billion monthly active users. It's not dead by any definition of the word. Even if you and I don't use it, many people around the planet do.

Cultural relevancy doesn't matter as long as Facebook still has the install base to show ads to, which is how it makes its money, and why its stock is still one of the best performing in the business.

My guesswork:

It appears that the eng at reddit is so incompetent that they have newer, better, more efficient internal APIs available only to their house apps.

So basically, the public APIs in question have both serious compute and eng costs that -- per a mod comment I can't find again -- are costing more than $10m annually. They can't amortize those costs across their first party apps as well, because those apps are on different APIs. They're looking -- again per a mod comment -- to make money on both the compute and eng costs for these APIs.

Add to this some incredible stupidity, as they continue to underinvest in mod tools and appear not to realize -- though I really can't understand how they could not, since it's been a point of incredible contention with their mod community for many years -- how many mods, particularly those of the biggest forums, are using tools reliant on the current apis to effectively moderate.

tl;dr: it's a big mess. They want to kill 3rd party front ends, and are unwilling to just say so; they continue to not build the tools mods need; they've lost trust with the mod community because of 10 years of lying about investing in mod tools; and they don't want to get everyone onto their internal APIs for reasons they haven't shared.

Oh, and meanwhile, they're launching a new dev platform because... they think someone smart would want to build a business with them after this? I don't know.
As someone who uses and is generally pleased with Elm (a large part of my product's UI is Elm) I could use more detail on what is different and especially why it is different.

There was also only "a lot of theory" and zero empirical evidence that nuclear bombs were possible not that long ago. Theoretical fact-based peer reviewed literature often (though not always) precedes empirical evidence.

We shouldn't jump the gun and say runaway AI is inevitable just because there is fact-based theory on its possibility. Just like it would have been dumb to just look at E=mc^2 and conclude nuclear weapon development is 100% inevitable.

But in the same breath we shouldn't say it's impossible just because we don't have empirical evidence either.

They could make this a Premium feature, driving more people to Reddit Premium. Users would pay them directly and still get to enjoy 3rd party apps. It could even be used a "age verification" for their new NSFW rules.

They could also continue to allow free access, but send ads (which on reddit look like posts) together with the content. Or even better, change their API terms so apps have to follow some guidelines and show ads to free users... and maybe give apps the option to pay for a clean API too?

And of course, continue to offer and promote their own app, with all the ads and tracking they want to add.

Instead they've picked the worse option for their users. They're killing 3rd party clients and tools used by moderators and communities. Apparently they've even lied about their talks with developers and accused one of blackmailing them...

I understand the need to generate revenue, but they're not handling this well.

This is a good counterpoint, but I would say that if they can’t make money off of having Reddit-like features, how are they making money off Discord in the first place? They aren’t that different. The reason to add Reddit features to Discord would be to kill a competitor (Reddit).
Even better, give that money directly to creators you like instead.
