I've been wondering if I'm in some experiment sometime as well. Sometimes my r/popular will be filled with content from niche subreddits I don't follow with barely any upvotes. The content is generally bad. Seems like a failed attempt at a "for you" page (and then I would just have browsed my own frontpage with subs I follow..)

But if I refresh, it's back to "expected" content. So weird.
Privacy from “Heavy Purchasers” of Pregnancy Tests to the Depression-Prone
At the moment, because the current meta is 100B+ Parameter LLMs to do everything. I would not discount chaining specialized smaller models together as a viable approach, and those can run on 24GB or even less.
Where is the Matrix room?
> Read what competition law is about

OK

> Anti-competitive practices totally should be illegal

So are there competition laws that make it illegal, or do you wish there were? Are you asking for enforcement? Or are you just hoping for change?
I read both, the offical docs were the second hit. People who want one answer to everything scare me far more than AI.

I don’t really accept that SO is just answering questions for you. There are usually multiple answers. There were several comments on SO that went into more depth than the official docs. There are second opinions, and answers pointing out what the wrong answer is. There are links to related questions.

It wasn’t what I was looking looking for initially, but sometimes answers to questions you didn’t ask are better than ones you did.
The API TOS has some nebulous verbiage about doing things that let a developer avoid the per app quotas, I'm sure reddit would apply it to any app that publicly did this
> Apple customers don't complain a lot.

about Apple. About everyone else though, there are no limits. Observational anecdata from rApple and HN.
What kind of love?
Yep. Literally straight from Mark Zuckerberg's mouth:

<quote>
[From 1:49:53] Um, you know, at the beginning of this, we, um, I asked our, our people team, what was the average number of reports that a manager had? And I think it was, it was around three, maybe three to four, but closer to three. I was like, wow, like a manager can, you know, best practices that person can, can manage, you know, seven or eight people. Um, but there was a reason why it was closer to three. It was because we were growing so quickly, right? And when you're hiring so many people so quickly, then that means that you need managers who have capacity to onboard new people. Um, and also if you have a new manager, you may not want to have them have seven direct reports immediately because you want them to ramp up. But the thing is going forward, I don't want us to actually hire that many people that quickly, right? So I actually think we'll just do better work if we have more constraints and we're, um, you know, leaner as an organization. So in a world where we're not adding so many people as quickly, is it as valuable to have a lot of managers who have extra capacity waiting for new people? No, right? So, um, so now we can, we could sort of defragment the organization and get to a place where the average is closer to that seven or eight.
If remote working "doesnt work" does that mean that all the money I have invested in YC funded companies or paid to YC funded companies for remote work adjacent products and services was extracted from me through fraud?
It actually wouldn't be that bad. After high school many European countries have 2-3 months of a break before most of them start college. Plenty of time to do a bootcamp.

That way you have a group of people with the basics. Based on that you can make further selections.

And it it should absolutely be possible to combine it with the first year of college.
That surreal to me too, mostly because there there are no offered alternative such as forum or even clone. (i mean open reddark and just list)

I think from reddit perspective that could be considered as jackpot: 48 hours downtime it just 0.6% ( 100-((363/365)*100)) over year, if it is keep going - update TOS (something like - huge subreddits cannot be converted to private and etc.) and just replace mods...

As for endgame I think slowly users will start leaving, but it could take years.
I’ve always wanted to “catch up” by starting from something I never got to try: gamedev on some of the first gaming machines, like the Sinclair Spectrum and Commodore 64.

What’re the best places to start with that for modern devs?
This has happened to me a lot. It did not occur to me that it was deliberate
Your list of first-world grievances also describes: healthcare workers, literally anyone in the trades, grocery store employees, retail, etc. At some point tech employees have convinced themselves that they are likewise "essential" employees and deserving of special exceptions. But the fact of the matter is most tech jobs, apps, etc. could go away tomorrow and life would continue unabated (in contrast to the list above). Sure, with mild inconveniences, but society will find a way. It also proves how easily replaceable you are by employees in developing countries who are glad to show up in person to the office (for 1/6th the pay).

Also, who doesn't bring their own coffee from home vs. drinking the three-day-old moldy diarrhea at the office?
Like all generalisations, this one is wrong. What companies need to do is work out a hybrid approach or prove to their employees that it is necessary to come to the office. If you are working on a prototype robotics project you do need to be in the office, but if you are writing microservices you do not need to come to the office to watch the chest thumping antics of your CEO or sales people. I don't write better code when I'm being told to crush it, I write better code when the specification for it is clear and makes sense. Nothing to do with being in the office.
CEOs at the biggest companies in the world are not “in that level”?

You should read them, they are very, very interesting.
The news was reporting on anti Asian feelings prior to covid. When covid hit this automatically became racist. Wearing a mask was racist. Bizarre. It caused many to ignore media/leaders because they were so obviously off base and constantly proven wrong and backtracking they lost credibility.
If Apple didn't have so much power we wouldn't be in this situation where we can only use Safari with this extension.
I mean honestly though. A while back I was deciding between getting youtube premium or spotify for music, and I was leaning towards youtube except for two things:

1) youtube was refusing to take my money. I don't have a credit card and youtube does not support any other payment methods.

2) youtube premium at the time would STILL show you ads. It just promised they would be "less frequent".
I've used Pinboard for years (10 year anniversary coming up in July 2023).

By "zombie", I mean that it continues to function, but it's a dead product.

Support is often non-existent, and there's been no enhancements for years. If I were looking for the same sort of product today, I'd steer clear of it in favor of something that seemed more like its operator cared.
Elixir does:

Enum.map(list, func)

This is backwards to how partial application works:

def mapper(func), do: Enum.map(func)
incrementer = mapper(fn x -> x + 1 end)
incrementer(list)

It's not the end of the world to not have it this way, but it removes a lot of patterns that are common in other functional languages.
Mine served well as internet radio.
Did you scroll down and see the different methods used, specifically method 5? Not perfect, but getting pretty close.
They try to make reddit a picture-first based platform. What alienates the user base.

Also why does reddit mobile site lag? Takes 5-10 seconds of the stupid icon before you see the text. Compare it to instant i.reddit or old.reddit.

Are they so incompetent that they cannot write a site that doesnt lag? Or they just dont care?
Arithmetic coding goes one token/symbol at a time, just like most kinds of compression. The fractional bits come after token selection, and aren't really relevant here.

You can split the input into tokens that aren't a multiple of 8 bits, sure. But that's its own decision. 7 or 21 or whatever bit tokens could be fed into a huffman tree just as easily.
I'ma huge fan of Apple and the Vision Pro as well as Apple Silicon. But it's a bit short-sighted to say that Meta or other companies can't make the same thing.

First of all, Qualcomm's SoCs, while slower, can and will approach M2's performance in about a year or two - especially if they can get Nuvia's designs out the door.

Second, we don't know about the R1 and how impressive it is. But I doubt it's some kind of magical chip that only Apple can make.

Third, the patents won't really do that much because many tech companies have similar/overlapping patents and Apple and Meta won't go to war over patents. The only winner there would be lawyers.

Fourth, I'm going to bet that it won't be Meta who will successfully copy Vision Pro. It'll be one or more of the Chinese companies. Some of them have already created some impressive true AR glasses - not headsets.
I think the attempt communicates a lot of useful info and succeeds pretty often. I agree they can’t guarantee it, as with any bugs.
I would go from the most pressing problem, apply the Pareto principle to solve it, and repeat until reasonably happy. What is the biggest actual pain that the current lack of docs causes? I do not yet know the answer (feel free to share), but there is a good chance that the problem does not actually require a formal description of every screen one by one. You may be trying to create reference docs where higher level and more abstract documentation is warranted.
I was working on BBC News Online shortly before it launched in 1997. That was WebObjects-based, and it seemed really powerful and really nicely designed.
I get wanting to test the hypothesis that disabling logged-in mobile web will drive app downloads, but the user experience a critical flow you used to use went a way for no apparent reason, and workarounds also went away. It would feel like you're going crazy or your device/IP got banned, somehow.

They accidentally tipped their hand with this. Everyone suspected, but it's basically confirmed that they're pushing to get mobile users onto the first-party app.
"Hard working" and "smart" are very different things.

One could almost say that not being smart requires you to be harder working. (At least that's what I'm telling myself to keep working hard.)
Do you not think that this would already have been discussed when the policy under discussion was first developed? The rationale for the policy - whatever it is - would have been determined well before this problem arose. There would be no need for these people, who would have been central to those policies, to rehash their reasons in these emails. They already know all the arguments.
All the statements in your comment, except one, are straightforwardly false. You should probably fact-check things you think.

Other things you can tweak in a QR Code symbol without changing the decoded content: Error correction level, empty segments, segment encoding, deliberate addition of fully correctable errors, messing with padding bits/bytes after the terminator.
What tools will those new moderators use? The mods of any decent size subreddit have to use third party tools because the first party ones are apparently garbage.

I think a better question is what's Reddit's endgame? Mods of huge subreddits will just capitulate and use Reddit's crappy tools to do their unpaid work? Somehow those subreddits won't be flooded with spam and trolls? People will stick around to look at ads when every other post on /r/awwww is gore because the mods won't be able to keep up? Everyone will just download the complete shit that is the official Reddit app?

Is this the "if you type randomly type stuff you'll write Shakespeare given enough time" thing?

It might be true (though I doubt it), but the original claim is "by mid 40s". You also need to look at the overall statistics (i.e. percentage of people who made the promotion vs those who haven't), and while the projected ratio based on the previous company growth rates may still support the claim, it's quite clear double digit percentage growth YoY isn't infinitely sustainable...
I agree. But the word 'religion' doesn't fit anymore. It is believe system and the need to be part of a group that one can identify with. Compliance with the set of rules that this group subscribes to gives one an feeling of belonging and identity. The German author Juli Zeh talks about this. We are social animals and with the collapse of basically all societal institutions - not just religion, but also political organizations - we are desperately trying to figure out how we are and how we have to be.
This is a good intuition, Rust's references can be thought of as a r/w locks.
That is what one can say about verbosity and "tedious".
How did it become taboo to discuss biological sex, race, the effects of migration on society and other topics in democratic, liberal countries?

How did it become taboo to discuss the pros and cons of a specific vaccine or the complex geopolitical background of the Russo-Ukrainian war?

An ad-hoc coalition of political parties, NGOs, activists and journalists has hijacked public discourse, are manufacturing an official narrative and selling it as as unassailable truth while bullying and mobbing any dissenters.
I am more a lurker than a poster...
What I have noticed is wander. Comments start to wander off topic and "evolve" into comments on some consensus comment rather than the subject of the actual comment.
Having said that it is so hard to make commenters to stick to the subject.
Comments become full discussions, rather than well, just comments.
Why is it so important for Reddit to get you on the app? A daily active user is the same, you can still serve apps, still control your UX and still track.

I’m sure they lose more users by throwing up the banner to people who can’t be bothered or don’t want to download the app.
In reality the shell scripts used in the previous generation of init systems were difficult to follow. I agree that dbus is perhaps heavy weight, but it does provide an API. You can run systemd without it.
This is going to need digesting. It's not sensible to cast "open source" into the bucket of higher risk simply because it's open source. Equally, its not sensible to bless open source as "better" simply because its open source. There are fantastically good closed source solutions, and truly abysmal open source solutions, and a huge range inbetween.

At this point, if you said you depended on OpenSSL I'd say there are more risks than eg using Peter Gutmann's code, or libressl, depending on the context. Are there more or less risks than depending on a java library? I wouldn't know where to begin asking that question. So, "certify it" has some merit for me in externalising the risks into a circuit of people I trust.

Which in the end, is what NIST is probably saying: Find people you trust and work with them, but checklist and verify.
And how can what they did – presenting their own decision to other organisations or levels of their own organisation as if it were the legitimate “Leadership” consensus decision – how could that be anything other than a conscious and intentional act on their part, i.e, to use your term, “sabotage”? It's not like it could somehow be an accident, is it? “Oops, I slipped and fell onto my keyboard and these somewhat coherent and grammatically correct e-mails went out”?

Of-fucking-course it was sabotage, and of course they should be fired as all hell.
That's not really true. If it were, this would compile since there are no writes.

fn main() {
let mut x = [1,2,3,4,5];
let y = &mut x[0];
let z = &x[1];
println!("y {}... z {} ", y, z);
}

But it doesn't.
One of the allegations is that one or more lab workers were sick with covid in 2019.

Their colleagues - the scientific community - cannot through science alone determine if this was true.

If it happened then they went to a nearby hospital. To investigate there is possibly a police matter, certainly a health matter, a political matter and many things - but is not answered by waving the magic science wand. And so on.

People who claim it’s a science question are shallow or deceitful.
I appreciate all of your comments in this thread. As a female researcher in graphics - there is an awkwardness to that image personally. But, I don’t speak for all women by any means.

It’s a small discomfort, nothing earth-shattering. I wouldn’t have made it very far in CS if I couldn’t handle it. But, it adds to the pile of other small discomforts of being a woman in CS/tech. And that pile is large and cumulatively results in a tense experience.

I’m more bothered by these responses than anything, bending-over-backwards to justify the necessity of the image. Come on, guys. Switching the image is a gesture, and a nice one. It’s not that hard to be considerate to your female colleagues. But, in many cases - most even, you don’t have to be if you don’t want to.
They only need enough for Swift, Objective-C(++) and Metal Shading Language implementations, alongside IO and Driver Kit, the key places where Apple's ecosystem makes use of C++.

Then they used to have the integration of blocks (C extension for lambdas) into the respective frameworks, and their own bitcode format was more stable than LLVM bitcode (deprecated now, most likely fed up with the bitcode fork).
Yes, there isn't much of a Debian central command, apart from the technical committee, but they can't force/direct people to do things, only to say what Debian will do in specific circumstances.

That said, the community of contributors are what makes up the Debian project, so in a sense it is Debian deciding to do things when Debian does things :)
I feel like some of the "smaller" communities can't really have their mods replaced without some work. Programming subreddits need mods with the right programming background to make executive decisions like banning the next NFT-like scheme, for example, which a generic person going through posts and deciding if it's against the TOS couldn't do.
In ASCII, the concept of a character is overloaded with many properties. Unicode breaks "character" out to separate concepts like code unit, code point, grapheme cluster, etc.

Because of this, some of your statements are invalid. For example, "Along comes unicode which has variable bytes per character. (Yes, even for utf-32, which is why no-one uses utf-32).".

UTF-32 has a fixed number of bytes per code point. It doesn't have a fixed number of bytes per grapheme cluster.
Why do you think it's necessary to debug signal layers by physically connecting to them (other than the I/O pins of the chip)? The only time you would actually try to connect to a chip other than through the I/O pins is in an adversarial situation.

The problem is not that work like micro services can be done remote. The problem is remote workers end up doing other things than working. It makes a mess for meeting scheduling and collaboration. Effectively slowing the progression of the project down.

I work at a company who his hybrid and has remote. Every remote engineer is damn near impossible to work with, a forget anything happening on Mondays or Fridays.

“Oh sorry, the contractor is here”
“Sorry, the lawn guy”
“I will be afk, doing this thing I totally would never leave work to do, but it is so important now because I am at home”.

People simply can’t separate home life with work life, and the job becomes a hobby.
Saying that boost is a code smell suggests that std is a code smell too, since often std gets its packages directly from boost.
Not sure I would consider mods unilaterally shutting down their forums and hiding information that was contributed by millions of other people a triumph for the wider community. Speaking as somebody who only ever visits Reddit when a thread appears in a search result and occasionally replies if the mods didn't implement a policy of automatically deleting posts from outsiders, now the information I need is not there, and neither is the information I contributed. Great win for the community.
I deleted my account and the app. Not sure how Reddit survives an unpaid moderator revolt.

Well, I'm mainly confused by your expression that the server-side blocking is defeated as soon as one person has a rogue client; if the goal is that the blocking user and the general audience don't see any blocked interactions, then is it not sufficient if the vast majority of them don't see the interactions because their clients are compliant? Sure, a few people using custom clients would be able to see the interactions, but if they were really interested in seeing what blocked people had to say, they could always have communicated on an external forum anyway.

(Although this implementation does let me imagine a funny scenario, where a subgroup of users make "secret" replies visible to each other but no one else, entirely using blocked interactions. I imagine many people would get mad if they discovered such a thing.)
Unless it changed, tracking down what Android NDK ships is even worse, tracking down git hash codes to guess which clang was imported into NDK rXX.
I'd be surprised if huge amounts of moderation were necessary in forums about ceramic grilling, Linux laptops and cellular service, though.
Thanks. How about we change the URL to the more general article, which has more information and doesn't shame anybody.

I think this latest profit-driven crap made me finally switch to HN as a 'main' platform for news. I'll miss /r/machinelearning, but posts here are like a combination of programming + ml so, I guess that's fine.
That's another reason to poison the well - people are attracted to content, not to gibberish.
> Yes. Putting people through hoops and then going "were we really friends if you didn't do it for me, huh, HUUUUH?" is a "I'm the main character" mindset.

Interesting point.

> A friend recently deleted all his apps and he asks me I just email him if I want to talk. I'm just not gonna do that. I barely remember to email my work people.

Oh. You have zero self-awareness. Got it.

Since you can't figure it out yourself -- you are doing that first thing in that second thing. Your poor friend.
Most people have no idea what they are doing. Yes, this does include adults in high-level positions with money and/or influence.
The Racket webserver had serializable-lambda, but iirc it requires you to also make everything you use in it serializable (?). So it is kind of infactious like async in JS. You need to write your code with it in mind. Racketeers please correct me with an example of ad-hoc making a lambda serializable, if I am wrong about this.

The gold standard for IRC anywhere is either; mIRC on windows, or irssi/weechat anywhere else.
So, instead of discussing the actual research and body of knowledge, we discuss some first semesters "flashcards" one single book? I know it is a meta complaint, but I really would have prefered something with a littel more substance to it.
