Correction. Those who didn't love it were banned or left or were censored out of default views.
Show HN: MicroSCOPE – Heuristics for Ransomware Similarity
For me it's Lemmy.

Much smaller userbase and it will probably never grow _big_ (because federation is too daunting for some), but for me that's a plus. It's a bit like HN: sometimes it's good to _not_ become mainstream (e.g. by having a design that scares away people).
9gag is a competitor for the “shitposting” part of Reddit, but not for the serious part.
No.

TD was quarantined under false pretenses (ironic ones too, since a very pro police sub was accused of being anti police) and then basically killed while pretending it was alive.

KIA is alive but heavily muzzled by admins on some topics such as a prohibition to mention trans in any shape or form. The mod takeover was because the original founder who didn't use the site took over it once and destroyed it something.

There's been other cases where founders wreck havoc after years of not being active and were removed.
I don't think this is true. The redesign was not bad and the reaction is the classic one that happens for all redesigns, good or bad. After a while people acclimatize to the new design and feel that's the original one. If you revert the redesign after that people will shout "bring back the old design!" even if that's exactly what you did.
If you want a constraint for such a column, then due to nature of our complex writing, it has to be separate from the actual field type and physical storage allocation - it's the equivalent of an integer field having a constraint that it must be between 1 and 100.
I think you mix a bit index fund and hedge funds.

I completely agree that it is possible to beat the market - it's just that it's very difficult, mostly due to misaligned time horizons.

Take your insight here about NVidia - it's false. So far, GPUs sales DID NOT increase, at least not significantly. Go check NVidia sales for past 4 quarters. They said they expect them to increase significantly in the next quarter. Even if it does, and even if it doubles what they say, the valuation of the company is still in the bubble territory.

Another great example is Tesla - stock surged on anouncement that GM will use their chargers. When you look at the numbers, they will make an insignificant money on that (optimistic scenarios are between 3-10 billion $, by 2030 !) - yet the stock added more capitalization than ... the entire captialization of GM !

Now, if you say that NVidia has a huge business moat that is untouchable for the next 5 years - that's a different story.
I think she even looked into that at some point. But I don't think anything really happened.
I would bet money that Reddit has the highest percentage of ad blocking users. Either by way of browser extension or third party apps. They just don't have enough impressions to cover the outlandish costs associated with running the site. Combined with lax content moderation policies, advertisers see more value going with third parties that can push a viral story about a product to the homepage.

There is no one problem with Reddit, and that is the problem. They have to reboot and build Facebook 2.0 (or whatever) without a highly fickle user base turning tail and running. Rock, meet hard place.
nobody really left Twitter, nobody is really going to leave Reddit.
That was 16 years ago, and it's going along just fine.

I don't think it ever held a really dominant position. It was never famous or well known. It seems content to have a loyalish fan base who either see ads or pay to remove them. That seems to pay to keep it alive and a smallish staff to keep it running, and it doesn't seem to desire any more than that.

The comments right from the beginning of that thread are sarcastic about how everyone else seems to act as if the world has ended at every redesign. It's hardly user hostile. It just gives enough for a decent conversation on news items that rarely merit more than a few laughs and sarcastic comments. They keep it light with aggressive moderation, and that seems to suit the people who fund it. And it doesn't have any aspirations higher than that.
"Only because they were routed (and the whole front in that region collapsed, basically) so quickly"

Not that quickly. [0]

"the usual scorched-earth tactic that is their calling card"

That's russophobic fiction.

"Blowing up that dam sure helped them get caught up towards that end"

Here is a Washington Post article [0] about Ukrainians attacking the dam with American missile to test if they can blow it up:

"Kovalchuk considered flooding the river. The Ukrainians, he said, even conducted a test strike with a HIMARS launcher on one of the floodgates at the Nova Kakhovka dam, making three holes in the metal to see if the Dnieper’s water could be raised enough to stymie Russian crossings but not flood nearby villages.

The test was a success, Kovalchuk said, but the step remained a last resort. He held off."

There were many more attacks on that dam by the Ukraine [1] but I won't bother to try to find non-Russian sources, the WP article is enough.

> West is all about PR and jeopardizing 100s of billions of dollars of trade for few equipments that Air India shifted from India to Russia to help a stranded airplane is the worst possible thing any politician could do

It's not a political decision. It's current law. What Air India would have needed would have been a political decision, a waiver, to an understandable but unforeseen situation.

New Delhi would be fine asking for forgiveness if this were military plane. But Air India, a private company, has to deal with other private companies. Do you think Air India's banks want to bet their livelihoods on an ex post facto waiver? Even if (read: when) Air India is given a waiver, the American wire officer who processed their transactions after a known sanctions violation would be in personal jeopardy, legally, professionally and possibly criminally. Same for every engineer who provided support, every courier who knowingly transported parts.

> what has it to do with GE? The equipment belongs to Air India in India.

The engine on that 777 is made by GE. It has to comply with U.S. law. You don't want every part and service contract with GE and Boeing and who knows who else being held up while you get forgiveness.
This is a good take. I’m getting nothing out of Reddit. It’s time to touch some grass.
I hate Discord for killing classic forums and therefore robbing us of good searchable niche content.
Both sides benefit from the average Joe not knowing the facts. This is, in a nutshell, why so much FUD exists about drug addiction.

For dealers, it gets people through the gateway. For the anti drugs crowd, it's the equivalent of preventing teenage sex by not telling them how it's done
Lol, good luck doing that during a recession, and after pissing users off. They might have tricked me into buying it before this fiasco, but definitely they lost me now.
nncp-go it's a thing.
no serious, safety critical system uses RL (except tesla "autopilot" and we see how that went). Control theory algorithms can be validated to work within the desired envelope and produce a valid solution.

The big advantage of convexifying the problem, is that when it is convex you have a guarantee it can be solved in fixed time, a major requirement for real time systems
Don't forget the international dateline :) The 12th of June is a poorly specified target.

But I know that /r/programming has two Reddit administrators as part of the mods, so I'm not surprised they're not going dark.
I think that's one of the problems here. When Digg happened, Reddit was already a very viable alternative.

But now there doesn't seem to be any.
I've been struggling with similar thoughts for a few years, as someone with a dedicated "DevOps" role. I'm of the belief devops is a culture, not a role. I believe most with a basic grasp of devops principles share that point of view. I think there is tremendous value for a SWE to do a tour/experience devops first hand, but I'm also not sure I could hold my own in a pure SWE role anymore without a prolonged period of adjustment. That said, I still think it's been worth it for me personally.

A lot of the engineers I've worked with only seem interested in closing out their tickets and care nothing for that which happens beyond getting their PR merged. I am often viewed and treated as an outsider, or an antagonist to the development lifecycle; I don't find myself being invited to many of the valuable engineering discussions. The irony is at heart I'm aligned far closer to development than operations, I just see the ops stuff as a semi-necessary evil.

Another thing I've experienced, is that "DevOps Engineer" means something different to every organization, and even among people within those orgs. Once titles started popping up with "DevOps" in them, the concepts [d]evolved into something else.

For additional context, I'm a self-taught engineer and now self-taught ops person, so constant growth and learning has been my default state since I started my career. I love that aspect, and devops was an area I knew little about, prior to starting the role. The enormous range of things one needs to consider in that role/expertise means there's almost always something new to learn.

I stumbled into a more traditional ops role by way of attrition, long before devops was a term. Out of a lack of familiarity, and sheer laziness, I got in the habit of automating everything, but once I recognized the value of doing so, I never wanted to go back. So it's just sort of been my natural place to be. The advent/widespread adoption of CI/CD was a godsend.

I do genuinely find rewarding the process of turning something that's annoying, inconsistent, and repetitive into a shiny little button, but I've also felt my software engineering skills stagnate. On the other hand, I have an entirely new set of skills to fall back on and that has knock-on effects for how I would approach a more traditional SWE role, should I find myself back in that arena.

So take this all with a grain of salt, as a lot this is probably personal to me. I feel it has to do with where I'm at organizationally, and a fairly radical switch in stack over the last couple years.
Any source that it is growing?
> 2. The $10M buyout comments was a reasonable comment countering the statement that reddit loses $20M each year by users using Apollo. A comment which was a half-joke, as the audio recording shows clearly. In that case, buying Appolo for $10M would have been a steal and Reddit would have jumped on it. They didn't, their prior statement was probably a lie.

If something loses me 20M$ per year and I have an option to buy it for 10M$ or kill it for 0$, I would choose the latter without much thinking. And that seems to be exactly what Reddit is doing.

And that is something that any client using a third-party platform should expect that will happen eventually.
Mmmm, we believe papers are not enough to document code. We use a lot REPLs in Lisp and python for that.

Most of the time, this means making things smaller and modularise those. It takes a lot of work and there is always an initial resistance from the team for doing it. But it doesn't take much for them to realise how powerful and useful those interfaces are once they are in place and work.

A paper alone with code is kind of dumb, you need something people can interact with by discovery, by doing, experimenting, just like we do as children with the world surrounding us.

Just having some explanation is not enough: People just don't understand things reading about them, but formulating hypothesis about their understanding and confronting those with reality.

Without them, people are not going to be understanding what you believe they are understanding, but their own idea, that is often totally wrong.
If anyone from reddit corporate is reading this, ignore every carping user and stay laser-focused on that IPO.

Being well-liked and poor is waaay worse than being rich and hated.

Ask HN: Do Redesigns Kill Websites?
We have multiple examples of redesigns marking the end of many large websites and trigger user-migrations.

I'm wondering if it is the actual redesign that killed those websites (excluding malicious intentions and dark patterns), or was it the redesign itself a response to negative trends in usage?
Here's my question: Can HN recover from this?

It was already getting choppy with the election and cryptocurrency generating huge emotional hellthreads. Then came Musk and Mastodon. Now it's Reddit. HN is just turning into another hub of tech outrage. This site is giving me pain to read now.

Want to see a contrast? Look at the comments on this Reddit drama and compare it against the original Digg redesign drama on HN a decade ago. There's a sharp difference in comment quality.
And I can’t believe it’s YC!

It is funny how you say it so nonchalantly that the reason for not discussing lab leak theory is it lead to "marked rise in violent attacks on anyone of Asian descent". However none of this applies to rhetoric against Russia, Middle East or any such country where US is at War with right now. How come no US citizen is attacking Russians, or Middle Easterners (Libyans, Syrians, Iraqis, Afghans etc) in US soil when the Media is 24 x 7 discussing how these countries are the "Enemy" of the United States? Do you not see the dichotomy here?

It totally feels orchestrated. Someone somewhere in the US establishment needed an excuse to not discuss about the lab leak theories. So the attacks on people of Asian descent turned out to be the perfect excuse. That's what it comes across to me as an observer of US politics. There is literally no reason for censoring information on discussion of a lab leak that did not even happen on US soil but in Wuhan. If you can discuss Russia, 9/11, terror attacks in various parts of the globe, without US citizens going bonkers and attacking people of those races, I am pretty sure discussing lab leak theory would not piss US citizens off that much. But bring in race attacks angle and you have the people by your side asking for and justifying censorship.

Let me ask you another question: How do you think people in Asia discussed the COVID pandemic? Did people in China not question their own government (CCP) and its role in the pandemic? How sure are you that they all believed that the virus did not come from the Wuhan lab but, as per CCP, came from the West?
Airbnb should tie up with an agency that verifies cleanliness and accuracy of listing. And split the charges to both guests and hosts.

you missed the big one: kill the IPO
HN is way too generalist to even replace /r/programming (I'd say that only ~25% of the main page is technical stuff), not even talking about subreddits dedicated to specific technologies.
Let's determine what is the "high cardinality" logs. Grafana Loki puts log messages with the same set of labels into a single "stream". For example, all the log messages with the labels {job="nginx", instance="host123"} go into a single stream. Loki stores every stream in a separate set of files and maintains in-memory index per each stream. So big number of streams in Loki lead to "high cardinality" issues such as performance degradation, high memory usage and increased storage load. That's why Loki developers recommend avoiding labels with big number of unique values such as ip, user_id, trace_id, etc.

I'm unsure what does "high cardinality" mean for ElasticSearch case. As I know it happily accepts log messages with high-cardinality labels such as ip, user_id or trace_id.

I don't know whether OpenObserve has any issues related to high cardinality.

P.S. I'm, as VictoriaMetrics core developer, confident that the upcoming log storage and analytics solution from VictoriaMetrics - VictoriaLogs - will be free from Loki-like high cardinality issues.
This kind of attitude towards "agree to disagree" is dangerous.

There comes a point where argument becomes useless. People are not fully-logical beings (and belief that you are the exception is hubris), information is imperfect, and there are many, many cases where consensus is simply impossible to reach.

In such cases, it makes far more sense to politely disengage (agree to disagree) than to continue into likely acrimonious territory that risks damaging the relationship.
I briefly conversed with Drew on what seemed like the obvious next step of threaded conversations. He was clear that this way kept things in order for him, and didn't let stuff get bogged down.

In other words I think he's happy with it, and doesn't want it to change. The main change since then was more ads or paid accounts, which seems a fair tradeoff. Anybody who wants Reddit knows (or knew) where to find it.
I think that the most important aspect of corporations is limited liability and that is barely mentioned in the article - but maybe that’s a narrow way of thinking about it.
The unfortunate thing is that there isn’t an alternative. I’d like to see Reddit die as much as the next guy but considering there doesn’t seem to be a replacement it will be difficult for people who are used to it to just drop it. I hope that this may mean a federated alternative (or basically back to the old days of phpNuke forums and the like) but I somehow doubt it.
Yeah, it seems like the network effect is simply too strong to overcome in these two cases. I deleted my Twitter account in protest of the harsh approach Musk took in laying people off, but I find myself back on the platform. I imagine it will be similar with Reddit...
>f Air India wants to risk sanctions,
There are approx. 34 Billion[1] reasons why that won't happen.

Reading all the comments here tells me that we have not experienced a true crash in the market.

AI has created a lot of euphoria pumped by VC money once again which can only result in disappointment of expectations since this is the 'pump' part of the hype cycle.

Sooner or later we will see if any of these so-called AI companies are actually making any money or will survive at all.

In 2010, almost everyone was a 'tech company'. Now almost everyone is a 'AI company'. This bullshit needs to stop.
Yeah that’s what I use
Yup.

Were using LLM retrieval methods to build Q&A bots at work. These are all fed with documents (user guides, release notes, transcribed videos etc).

Its still very much POC but the interesting thing is people seems to care about documents again a bit more knowing that it will be used in this manner.

I was thinking about developing something that rewards document producers if their response is cited and used successfully - would help strengthen the feedback loop.
...why? Do you expect GitHub and HuggingFace to go under in a few years?
> “So in conclusion—and this is a simplification, perhaps a distortion, but I think you know what I mean—it would be healthier that, whenever someone mentions DEI, you just think CCP.”
RiF is working for me. It's probably just Reddit being typically unreliable and useless. So much for those VC millions.
Or they can continue their failed attempts at using chatgpt to astroturf a counter-movement, lol: https://i.imgur.com/4e9jO7P.jpg

Edit, some context: https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/146wn9s/commen...

(spez / reddit ceo is a mod on r/programming, hence it still being up)
Reddit hosts its own ads, so seems like it would be relatively trivial to overcome the adblockers and insert them directly into the feed server side. Sure, that will piss a few people off, but more than this?
That sounds like more of a managerial or organisational fuck-up rather than a problem with remote on itself.

Several companies I worked for used a very similar set of processes as when they were working in the office, paired with a set of wrong expectations with the employees.

Moving away from this and understanding how to work at best took several months, and entirely flipped around the team's ability to perform, to the point that being remote was even more productive both on a subjective and objective scale (e.g. lead/cycle time).
That's basically why I'm advocating what I posted, that and also because I think it'd be a great chapter in tech history, showing how doubling down on a stupid user-hostile decision can destroy a company (assuming it does). Then, 30 years from now, people will still talk about how Reddit self-destructed when they decided they needed to control the user experience and forced everyone to use their app.

Rationally, your approach is of course better, but the current narcissistic execs aren't going to do anything like that, whereas I can certainly see them doing something as stupid and out-of-touch as forcing everyone to use their app on both mobile and desktop.
I left, haven't logged in in months, do no consume it except when it is linked from somewhere else and then I look at it and go straight back.
I mean, isn’t Reddit open source? (or parts of it? Or was before?)
spez's comment "We’ll continue to be profit-driven until profits arrive. Unlike some of the 3P apps, we are not profitable." suggests a real concern about not being profitable. In fact, the whole ordeal reeks of panic – a last ditch attempt to right the ship before bankruptcy sets in.

There was once an age where investors would buy in simply on the belief of unicornedness, but that ship sailed several months ago. Investors have become much more critical of tech businesses, showing substantially less interest in tech companies that aren't displaying strong fundamentals. A recent Fidelity report indicates Reddit's own valuation has dropped by 41% on that change in sentiment.
I've seen a few Tildes threads that I want to interact with, but I can't because I don't have an account

At first glance it looks like a nice place. Most other alternatives seem to turn into a right-wing hell-hole quite fast. So I understand the need to let new people slowly trickle in.
Definitely, I missed to mention that partial application via currying isn't something you do in Erlang either.

If you did however, swapping the arguments would break most partial application patterns you see in languages like Haskell, OCaml, Elm and even JS.
I went to Russia twice since the start of the war, and really, other than border control agents being swapped for FSB, and them pulling a few people (me included) to the side for brief questioning, it was all quite normal and friendly as always.
The problem was that the epidemic started in the middle of the US election campaign. At some point the Trump team started to support the lab leak theory. And then it became political; Biden supporters started framing them as conspiracy theorists, anybody who dared to support the leak theory was labeled as a Trump supporter etc.

In China some people must have been amazed how the US was arranging such a thorough cover-up all by themselves.
Even with regards to adblockers, they must be bouncing a ton of SEO traffic and eventual users to try to overcome that.

Nobody other site is so belligerent in getting you onto the app so I can’t see how it’s a net positive for them.
>You can come close to Japanese fruit quality just buying organic in the US.
