Yes, I know because Stan Lee created the X-men, people love to claim Marvel was always super progressive. I'm sorry, but that simply is not the case, and you are wrong. 99% of comic books I own have zero trace of your supposed progressivism.
Some things I find interesting:

1. They're not backing down at all, and even explicitly mention that Apollo/RIF/Sync will be going down because of this.

2. It looks like they are backtracking a bit on the moderation tools that use the API. This makes sense as otherwise Reddit would have been a cesspool, but a lot of moderators do use tools like Apollo, so it will be interesting to see what happens to the quality bar over time.

3. Removing NSFW content from the API is interesting - I wonder if the main app will still have access to this?

> The whole point of a business is to capture value full stop.

That is certainly one school of thought. But businesses that are about something more than just "capturing value "are more likely to actually become valuable. Creating value is almost always better than just capturing value.
"Open" is a pretty vague word which could mean all sorts of things.

"Open source" is defined by the Open Source definition according to the OSI [1]. In saying that, I realize that every couple of years somebody tries to claim that their understanding of the term "open source" should trump the one the community has settled on. I personally am not ready to acquiesce to this semantic drift, at least, not yet.

I came here to say exactly this … complete avoidance of responsibility on the author of the videos part.

“Flipper what did you do?”

Should have been

“What did I make flipper do?”

In addition the articles title “flipper causes meter to self destruct” should be titled “person using radio device to cause smart meter to rapidly turn on an off causes failure in meter components”.

I’d probably phrase it more like “Idiot with ‘hacking tool’ rapidly switches electricity meter without understanding current inrush and failure states of high voltage high current system, luckily escapes death by explosion or causing a fire”
If I wanted to know what Bard or ChatGPT had to say about this, I would ask them.
Oh, was hyped to read it until I realized it’s US-focused. Being a non-US citizen makes the US one of the last countries I’d incorporate in. Yes, there is a lot of services like Stripe Atlas which would be happy to incorporate you for $100-500, but usually they don’t even shed the light at all how you would do taxes. If you’re not a US citizen, that’s gonna be a huge pain in the ass. You either pay a lot of taxes or do shady funneling (like “I pay myself as another corporation in another country and leave $5 taxable in US to buy printer ink”).
I’m still looking for viable options to get incorporates somewhere to be able to use Stripe, but the US is a no-go for me.
I would simply not believe big factual claims made by an LLM without verifying them
You are referring to Teflon, there's some confusion with the differences in toxicity between the chemical used in the final products (today at least) and the chemical used in manufacturing. Although the human impact is only subtly different (that in theory it makes no personal difference whether or not you buy such products, which is a worse position to be in than it sounds)...

As a non-chemist I don't claim to have a comprehensive understanding, but as far as I can tell: PTFE (Teflon) is found in consumer products today, and has not been directly linked to cancer yet, i.e if you eat teflon (and you have) it will supposedly just pass through your gut in an inert fashion. PFOA and more generally PFAS are used to manufacture PTFE, these are known carcinogens according to independent studies and (allegedly) internally by 3Ms own research, unfortunately PFOA is also in your blood and my blood, not because you ate teflon from a frying pan, but because once it's in the environment it doesn't get broken down, and so inevitably we end up ingesting it.

The reason we have to generalise to the group of chemicals "PFAS", is because once PFOA specifically was found to be problematic companies looked for similar alternatives, but these have also found to cause similar issues.

To complicate matters the PTFE in your non-stick frying pan can also releases PFOA if heated high enough, supposedly the threshold is around 300 degrees C, however it has been found that this threshold varies between products and can be realistically reached under in "normal" cooking scenarios, but usually when someone accidentally dry heated a frying pan too much, or is just plain cooking on too high a temperature. The side effects of being exposed to PFOA in this way are supposed to feel similar to catching a cold that disappears fairly quickly, and is often mistaken as such, I presume this is because it's vaporised.

Even knowing all this (that provided you don't nuke your cookware it likely makes no personal difference) I've still decided to personally go down the stainless steel route, it's not very scientific, but the relationship between PTFE and PFOAs is close enough, and it flakes off my frying pans frequently enough that I've decided I don't want to keep on ingesting it only to find out later that it's also a problem. Although stainless is not hazard free, because you can get problems with metals leaching into the food and have to be careful with acidity, and also make sure you buy high quality pans. They also require more skill to cook with without destroying them, but ultimately last indefinitely if you can take care of them.

The main problem with continuing to use PTFE in products is the indirect cost to the environment and human health through the "externalities" of manufacturing.

Stack Overflow and Reddit want money for AIs to train on their data which is why they made these changes, so which companies are next? Could HN get crappier in order to milk AI money for its valuable comments? I guess Wikipedia at least can't do jack to get AI cash for its valuable data.

We've worked to reduce plastics & chemicals in our house. Some things we do:

* We use silk dental floss (we use Radius)

* We use glass storage containers instead of Tupperware

* For cooking, we use All-Clad.

* If a recipe calls for non-stick (e.g., pancakes) I use a braiser from Le Creuset, which works reasonably well.

There are a couple of different motivations a company could have around blocking API access to prevent AI scraping:

A) scraping itself is too expensive. I suspect that's probably not the case with SO because they blocked backup. Downloading the database from the Internet Archive doesn't cost SO any money.

B) the AI is going to replace the original creators (or more likely, devalue their work and push wages lower) and they'd like to prevent that negative social consequence. This is the charitable interpretation, and I understand writers/programmers/artists being concerned about it, even if I'm slightly more cynical myself about how AI content generation is going to work out once the "shine" has worn off. Note that I'm not saying that this concern is necessarily right or that there aren't positive uses of AI that have nothing to do with replacing jobs; just that it's a concern that a site/community could reasonably have.

C) companies are realizing that there's a lot of VC money in AI right now, and they would very much like to be in the business of selling shovels, and their feeling is that if anyone anywhere is making money off of "their" content then they are morally deserving of some kind of cut no matter what. This is obviously the case for some companies, but is (charitably) probably not the case for all of them.

One test we could use to try and distinguish between B and C is -- if a company is blocking API access, are they then turning around and licensing that data or opening up paid API access, and if they are, is any of that money going to the users that made the content? If SO turns around and makes API access paid and continues to not pay any of the volunteers writing answers, at that point it's much easier to argue that they're trying to sell shovels, not trying to protect users.

This is also part of why I take a cynical view of what Reddit is doing with its API (although Reddit claims they're in camp A more than B). Reddit is probably not doing this to protect its users from theoretical AI displacement because it's still planning to license the data. It's just pricing it so high that only giant companies would be able to afford it.
There is a difference.

A user has to intend to sit down with photoshop to produce something defamatory.

A user does not need this intention to achieve the same result with GPT.

I'll take the other side of the popular opinion about Disney and Star Wars: I think Disney is doing a fine job with Star Wars. Great? No. Fine? Yes.

* The Mandalorian is some of the best Star Wars content ever produced, period. They really need to get Jon Favreau at the helm of all things Star Wars. By the way, if you've watched Friends, look up his face. You'll recognize him as the late 90s software entrepreneur that dated Monica.

* They need to step away from the cliche hero's journey stuff (as I mention in another comment on this thread). The Mandalorian is great and refreshing precisely because Mando is not really trying to save the world and it's not following that super boring and predictable narrative arc. The Rey saga sucked because they stuck to the playbook too much.

* Visions is pretty cool. Of course it's kind of jarring to see so many different intrepretations of the Star Wars universe, but I respect what they're doing there.

So yeah, I could keep going, but you get the gist: they're doing fine. It hasn't crashed into the ground.
Exactly. It should be more like:

"I hacked this together with the worst code you've ever seen and the server is crashing every 5 minutes, but a thousand people signed up today and usage is growing exponentially."
Tell me again which seed oils have meaningful amounts of trans fat in them?

> I'm not part of a "nutrition community"

Your comment implies you're comfortable enough to give other people advice, eg "don't eat seed oils because the contain trans fat," even though they don't. I don't mind so much that people believe whatever they want, it's a problem when you misinform others about it.
I mean, we already know how to prevent obesity. You just eat less.

Now there are (for now, expensive) drugs to help people do that.

The real issue is that human attention isn't great when bad things are spread out. School shootings get a lot of attention. They're scary, it's one single event, etc. Yet kids are far, far more likely to die from many other things that we could prevent.

For instance, in 2020 220 children under the age of 14 died due to drunk drivers:

Technically yes, but not really. The only requirement is two $0.001 resistors on the CC lines, giving you 500mA @ 5V. You can get up to 3A @ 5V simply by measuring the voltage the charger puts on the CC lines, so that can be done in $0.05 in parts.

Getting the full 5A @ 20V experience is possible with a chip costing less than $0.50, so even that isn't too expensive.
This really makes me think about use cases. Personally I want my laptop to be as light and portable as possible; some of these bricks are likely heavier than my whole laptop! When I need crunch I do it on a desktop or in the cloud (or these days "...and in the cloud"). So I edit code locally but when I press c-X c, g++ runs on some other machine.

I don't really understand why anyone would lug around an enormous and expensive boat anchor, but I'm sure they aren't idiots: they must get value from doing so, even if I can't imageine what it would be.

One thing I love about capitalism is that it's a huge parallel processing system for satisfying these different needs. If I were the central planning czar, the folks who needed the big portables would be SOL.
People accept quite bad things due to pure reason, too. The filter of reason should not be the one overseeing everything else, but that of wisdom. Both mystic experiences (an umbrella under which psychedlic experiences fall under) and reason should be submitted to a larger view of the world.

Our cat does this on soft blankets, but unlike the other cats mentioned in the comments, she doesn't look like she's enjoying it. Her ears are back and her brow is furrowed and she looks like she is unsure why she's doing it. Alternatively, she looks like she's hatching an evil plot to take over the world.
A resume only tells you what she did in the past (or way past in her case), not what she could potentially do in the future. And not to sound ageist (I’m old as well), but she’s almost 70 and at some point she won’t be in touch with what “the kids” want any longer. Feige is 50 for comparison. I know I don’t always understand why my kids like certain things nowadays.

Not sure if you mean keeping track of total upvotes or just the voting system in general. In either case, just for a start, I think discussions are easier to have & follow along with when someone can just upvote a comment to engage in the discussion vs posting something like "+1" or "^ this" or "I agree", and the number is the same feedback in lieu of meaningless posts. Voting also helps with ordering (as opposed to time based ordering), whether your total karma is displayed or not.
On the other hand, historically (and as the parent you're replying to points out), many compiler texts have spent a MAJORITY of their time on parsing, and rush through the actual interesting parts of compilation.

> I would love a book that goes into detail about different parsing techniques and considers best practices and patterns and tradeoffs/design considerations -- would pay good money for that

Terrence Parr's "Language Implementation Patterns" spends quite a bit of time on parsing, and parse tree->ast conversyions.
Kind of, but mostly no. I think it would be more akin to somebody opening photoshop and using a DALL-E type tool to ask it to generate a photo of a person, and the tool generates one that is wrong and damaging to the person (like maybe putting a pastor in a strip club or in an abortion clinic or something very damaging to the person's credibility). The user then tweets it out as a "real" photo of the person.

OpenAI is definitely more involved in creating the thing than a current user of photoshop who just uses primitive tools to construct it. It's still silly IMHO to sue OpenAI

I've found connecting a usb-c to usb-a adaptor and then a usb-a to usb-c adaptor (effectively, c-to-c, but with two props) some times will trigger the traditional power deliver. Try on either end of the device.

The only two devices I have that still need it, a mouse and beard shaver, I use them irregularly enough (charge around once every few months) that this solution is good enough for me instead of having an extra plug+cable. Yes, it won't charge as fast as an actual usb-a to c cable, but for my case that's good enough.
Following compatibility and standards is always good, irrespective of who does it. It'd be great if they supported running .NET and WinForms on Ubuntu some day, might actually happen who knows!

Is this the first wave of reddit exodus?
> Who are these "good guys" you speak so highly of

Anyone who wants to use the records to improve healthcare. There are plenty of these folks in the medical field, based on my time in medical school and brief stint in a medical research group.

I would also include anyone involved in your direct care, i.e. the front-desk personal at the various doctors offices we visit, who have no way of easily obtaining your medical history if you aren't already in their system.
I don't understand why the apps in question (Apollo etc) care about the Reddit API and its terms at all.

Those apps are basically browsers. Applications to browse Reddit, right?

Why not use the "html over http" API which every other browser also uses?

Yes, you would have to harden the code a bit so it gracefully deals with the structure of the html changing sometimes. And you would have to update the parser from time to time. But is that such a big problem?

Also: When using the API, how is the free API limit not enough? In TFA it says "100 queries per minute per OAuth client id". That is per user, right? Why does it take more than 100 API requests per minute to use reddit?
I don't know what you think of Reddit as, but I think of it as two things:

- a collection of independent niche communities that are just using Reddit for hosting, whose members don't think of themselves as visiting "Reddit" but rather as visiting those specific community forums. This is the valuable part of Reddit, that generates and gathers original content and novel discussions that can't be found anywhere else on the Internet. This is the part everyone's rushing to preserve/archive or migrate elsewhere.

- a Usenet-like set of generic default-subscribed "category" subreddits, that just act as content aggregators to bubble up the "least controversial" stuff in each category from across the Internet. Nobody cares much about this (other than Reddit's investors), since it's just another view on the same content that gets surfaced through every other social network one way or another.

If you think of Reddit as just the valuable part, and forget about the junk, then you can reinterpret the Reddit UX like so: Reddit just happens to have a single-pane-of-glass view for a feed of multiple communities' posts, just like Twitter has a single-pane-of-glass view for a feed of multiple accounts' posts. But 1. this isn't crucial to how users engage with these communities; and 2. you could preserve this property anyway, by having a shared SSO system (like how WordPress.com works) and by making Reddit-the-software federate its posts through ActivityPub. Then a "Reddit client" would actually just be a fancier kind of RSS reader that also knows how to post to individual communities' servers. But each server would still be "sovereign" over its own administration, being able to ban or approval-queue users, etc.
> Effective July 5, 2023, we will limit access to mature content via our Data API as part of an ongoing effort to provide guardrails to how explicit content and communities on Reddit are discovered and viewed.

Such a silly justification, as if children are using the API to find porn, which is so difficult otherwise.
