> By acquiring Apollo Reddit could monetize those users through Apollo instead of the official Reddit app.

After what Reddit did to Alien Blue I don't know how many Apollo users would be too keen on playing that game again. I personally have no confidence that a Reddit owned Apollo would retain what makes the current app great.
I find that a weird comment when he just explained why it was hard.
I quit Reddit half a year ago after 15 years of daily usage. 11/10, would quit again.
No, it's not necessary for it to have had the optimization somewhere in its training set given how it works. LLMs can solve problems they were not trained on, with varying degrees of success.
easiest solution I found was building SBCL targetting an old glibc using zig as the c compiler:

CC="zig cc -target x86_64-linux-gnu.2.28" LD="zig cc -target x86_64-linux-gnu.2.28"

zig bundles in all the glibc headers, so I think it should build on musl libc-based distro

for more complicated programs with native dependencies there is (https://github.com/Shinmera/deploy) or guix has a lot of CL libraries already and it's fairly easy to write packages for others, you can specify all dependencies with guix and use guix pack to get a .tar with all dependencies you can unpack and run on any other linux box
Lobste.rs always seemed cool. I've been waiting for them to open up for years. But I guess the invite-only nature may be what makes it what it is?

I've been running an EndeavourOS setup for a few years now with almost zero hiccups. Great starting point.
This will make no difference at all.

RIF, Apollo and narwhale apps should all team up and create (or partner up) with a reddit clone.

All the founders of these apps just seem oblivious to this.

Or maybe there's a dead tight contract they signed or something but I'd do it anyway.
I see the other comment is marked dead now, but seriously why? I'm having a hard time imagining how a schema is viewed as actual intellectual property or a security risk.
Is mastodon really even taking the spot of twitter?
It isn't in the title and is at the bottom of the link, but this is about UFOs. No evidence, just claims.
What's inflexible about Manjaro?
Is this thread being sunk by HN, or is it a natural product of the default algorithm? Because it had far, far more upvotes than any thread above it (currently ranked #20), even those they were submitted earlier than this one.

There’s a small but real chance that this movement turns into a mass exodus from reddit. Mismanagement can absolutely kill social media companies, and when it happens it happens fast. Take the mass exodus from FreeNode as an example.

The thing to watch for is if the admins take control of any major subreddits. That’s what killed FreeNode.
The GP specifically talked about an inadvertent dylib hijacking, which is prevented by the mechanisms I described. You are talking about a platform ABI break, which while unfortunate does occasionally happen due to significant technical issues (or sometimes by accident).

Apple does spend a significant amount of effort to avoid breaking supported ABIs. There have definitely been issues though, and especially early in Mac OS X while learning how to deal with upstream open source projects that don't care about ABI. In this specific case the result was Apple funding the development of libc++ and factoring it into libc++ and libc++abi specifically do prevent this sort of breakage in the future. Another example would be about a decade ago when Apple removed the ssl headers for the SDKs and told developers to either use SecureTransport or include their own SSL libraries, since depending on openssl's ABI was not feasible.

The progress is exponential, but the noticeable impact scales linearly with exponential improvement. Case in point, LLM's only get linearly better on benchmarks with exponential increase in parameter count.
I feel very out of the loop here. Who is this person, and why is it necessary for people to vouch for them?

Can all the 3rd party apps join hands & create an alternative.
It can be open source and users could fund it with donations. Probably a non-profit following a model like signal.
What you’ve said above is why Manjaro doesn’t notionally make much sense to me. Manjaro is the intersect on the Venn diagram of “wants to be able to build everything up themselves and customize everything, at great time cost to self, and understand everything” and “wants a plug-and-play replacement for a traditional desktop OS” - in my experience, that overlap is 0 users.

I’ve been running Arch for almost a decade and it hasn’t been all easy, but I have a system now that I know in and out, is built exactly how I want it, etc. I have wanted to try Manjaro because I’ve heard good things about it, but what can it provide for me? Nothing.

Coming from the other side, if someone isn’t comfortable with a terminal and a lot of frustration, why would they look to an Arch distro? Debian or Fedora are much friendlier for first-time Linux users.

It seems to me that in trying to appeal to everyone, Manjaro has coincidentally appealed to no one.
Hot swapping would be amazing, but I wasn't really expecting that to be supported.

The images/videos I'm seeing linked in your reply and sibling replies are basically about as good as I would hope for, that it would be the equivalent of swapping out a battery, that it wouldn't require a screwdriver, and that the components wouldn't be so fragile that I couldn't carry them in a backpack or computer case. Definitely something I'll be paying more attention to.

If somehow it is hot-swappable then even better of course, but I'm assuming that wouldn't be the case.

Ah, okay. I'm still not sure why Reddit would consider it blackmail for a 3rd party developer to say "If you make it impossible for me to run my app/service I will be very angry and tell people about it and say you're bad for doing it"

I mean, that's not blackmail that's just, like, normal behavior for two groups that have a dispute.
I dont think smart people ever toppled a government. Dictatorships usually rely on many, many, not smart people. They collapse when these people became hungry and desperate. If they are well fed and entertained they will happily “eat” the smart people.

So if you want dictatorships to collapse it’s best to let the smart people leave, so no one can run the country, and the not smart people get angry at their government.
Yes. Twitter is dead.
Yep, this is why re-shoring manufacturing to the US is (and will be) inflationary. For about 30 years we were exporting inflation to places like China.
You say "this hasn't happened" and "plenty of oversight", but the president of the review committee just resigned because of this. And she isn't allowed to inform the public nor parliament of what has already been happening, even before this change. As in, examples of the type of surveillance already happening have been redacted from the annual report of the review committee [0]. The annual report was specifically made to omit operational details and only inform of the general picture, but parts have been declared state secret. The now ex-president of the review committee stated she could not inform parliament because she did not want to go to prison for 15 years [1].

We're still developing continuously.

Website is deployed on Vercel, I own the current GitHub repo which is integrated with Vercel.

I don't really want to make a Vercel team and add them to it, or add them to the repo. But they'd like a way to have the code as it changes.
I'd be interested. What do I need to do?
The Apollo founder addresses this directly by saying it's just not an interest of his and that it would be a very large undertaking that he isn't wanting to do atm
You're implying that the agency is no longer effective, without making any explicit claims or providing evidence. What part did I misunderstand?

Interesting note from the comments:

> It's worth noting that snails love to eat bark, paper, cardboard, etc. I would imagine that books stored in damp cellars and such were at real risk of damage from them, hence snails were probably not well-regarded by bookish monks.

Looking a little into it, turns out that snails like eating paper. I wonder if they were a common scourge of librarians and copiers? It points to why they would be ubiquitous, and why so many Knights are depicted as losing.
A LLM would probably make this better. Instead of asking the user to learn a DSL why not just translate SQL to whatever structure the render functions uses?
Not for everybody but it is for a lot of people. Pretty much everyone I followed in my hobbies have switched over and I don’t go back to twitter anymore, and have more content than I can keep up on in Mastadon. I’ve been perfectly happy with it.
Or, you know, Digg. Digg's demise was literally the birth of Reddit's popularity, but the lesson was seemingly lost on Reddit "leadership".
Yeah they'd like access to code. The issue is we're still making changes, and will probably continue making changes for some time.
It is obviously a highly oppinionated distributon, which comes with a lot of pre installed software compared to Arch.
It freezes well but will spoil between 2-3 months. Maybe the much lower temperature would delay spoilage a bit more?
Not blaming Reagan specifically, but the consensus that emerged in the early 80s was that all GDP growth was good, even if it skewed away from manufacturing toward finance, etc.

This basic belief allowed us to write trade deals that reduced manufacturing capacity relative to non-manufacturing.

Totally agree with you the Ukraine war has been incredibly important in previewing what would have been much worse in a Taiwan war.
What're you making?
Going back to decentralised individual forums seems like a better idea than centralising and giving control to a few individuals and corporations.
Ok, so from your other comment, I think this is where our definition of intelligence is breaking down...

Biological agents have a consistent world model based on their capabilities because an inconsistent model would lead to lack of reproduction or death. We could call this environmental intelligence.

Meanwhile we have LLMs that have appear to have what I would consider 'micro' world models for some things, but not a large consistent world model. I'm guessing this is due to a few things, but for example not being culled for bad world models would be one, and another is they are only grounded in text and we've not really explored multi-modal grounding in models very far.

I guess what's going to be interesting is to see how multi-modal and embodied models do as they are trained in the environment and create a more consistent world model.
I've found it to be overly hostile over the years in any tech sub but also in anything political. Meanwhile the really interesting subs have been push away
Reddit moderators are unpaid volunteers.
maybe that's the problem? there are much better avenues of getting help for programming than reddit. i'm saying that as someone that not once has ever visited reddit for a programming bit of advice. every web search i have ever done for programming has been found elsewhere. clearly, i am not everyone, but for those that think this is doom, there is greener grass in other pastures.
There are many such algorithms. For example, [1] is expected linear time, deterministic O(nlglgn) time and linear space.

Note that the proposed ML (micro-)algorithms rely heavily on the fact that they are sorting 32-bit or 64-bit integers because they are using conditional moves. A conditional move avoids a branch by converting the instruction to a no-op when the condition doesn't hold. This is fine when moving 4 or 8 bytes because it can be done in a single clock cycle, but you can't apply the same technique when sorting larger objects.

US federal government spending obviously isn’t constrained by tax receipts. You’d think that would be clear in this day and age of consistent trillion dollar annual deficits. Thus spending programs should be judged based on outcomes and not nominal cost.

I’m all for a strong middle class. However, I don’t see how an inheritance tax that forces children to sell their parents farm or business to pay estate taxes is supposed to accomplish that though. If I wanted a large permanent asset-free working class I’d definitely aggressively tax intergenerational wealth accumulation, resting assured that the upper classes would easily dodge it with trusts, corporations, expatriation, or some other tax avoidance strategy. That sounds like an excellent strategy to crush the remaining middle class.
Why are API calls less cost-efficient than getting the same information on a browser?
> A computer can’t display more digits than the number of particles in the observable universe. This is a finite number. As such it is correct to say that computers struggle if the number of digits is too large

There are two sources of error here:

1. Your interpretation is essentially "computers struggle to complete tasks that are impossible for them to complete" - a meaningless tautology. At best it is "nothing scales infinitely" which perhaps is a bit more useful as a refutation for complaints that something "doesn't scale" in an unlimited fashion, but that doesn't seem to be the context here.

2. "Too large" is ambiguous. If it's "too large for computers to handle" then it devolves into the above meaningless tautology. However, a sensible and common interpretation would be to interpret "if <something> is too large" as "if <something> is very large" - but we know that computers can in fact handle numbers with huge digit counts (somewhere between 1 and 60+ million.)

So the original statement is either a largely meaningless tautology or something that is misleading and/or incorrect. PP's criticism is valid.
Oh I fully agree. It that’s not the comments that come out of the woodwork.

“New IE” seems to mean “browser I don’t want to bother with”, not “browser with an iron grip over web standards”.

TIL that there are potatoes grown in FL.
Yeah this is the most interesting bit in a way.

Wearing the quest in pass though mode is kinda cool for a bit, but the lag makes it horrible to use for any more than checking where a wall is.

If they really have made this feel instant that’s a massive deal on its own.
For one, the locking component, that prevents yanking the handle out while 350kw is flowing through it (an obvious arcing and fire hazard), is on the CCS handle itself, vs NACS where the charge handle just has a small hole and the locking mechanism is part of the car.

This plastic locking mechanism on a CCS handle can break if it's abused, leaving it in an unsafe state to use
Wasn’t there some talk a few months ago about Microsoft putting in an offer to buy Discord and the creator of Discord not being interested in selling? I recall it being a big deal and then it wasn’t. - penalty because MS never actually, publicly extended the offer.
So the trick is to have basic teeth.
Sadly the home Wiki page of CachyOS does not sell it well for me. I appreciate we're given more options for a filesystem on install but beyond that I'm not sure what's so different.

Special optimizations? How? Compile the world like Gentoo so as to use every single instruction of your CPU? Cool, I can actually stand behind that and install the OS because of it.

But what does "a hardened Linux kernel" mean?

I feel that that page expects you to know a lot about CachyOS already and I found myself impatiently closing the browser tab when I was about 50% in.

Are there better introduction articles?
Not sure that makes the point you want. The experience of being a remote customer of Google is pretty awful. You can't talk to anyone, things go wrong and there is nothing you can do about it.

They prefer remote customers because they want this dysfunction.

> Tesla to CCS adapters, which are vendor locked to only charge GM and Ford vehicles

What adapters are you talking about here? I can't figure out if this is real.

Edit: Oh, you're talking about the proposed adapter as part of this deal.
Can you send me one?
I’m not implying teachers are uneducated, but rather that it’s important to understand why what they are teaching is accepted. For instance, creationism used to be taught in public schools, we used to not believe germs to be the cause of illness, etc. What we teach is a reflection of what we “know”, but what we know isn’t always true.
The design is open which means that GM or Ford can build their own adapters and their own chargers.

The deal is for access to Tesla's supercharger network.

The superchargers cost money to produce, install and maintain.

The land on which they are installed costs money to lease.

Tesla installed, in US, over 12 thousand chargers and the rumored cost of a supercharger is about $50k. That's $600 million, not counting the land and other costs.

Those chargers are Tesla's property.

It would be preposterous for government to meddle in a business deal where Tesla sells access to their property to others.

Ford and GM are free to build their own supercharger network but I'm guessing that they would rather pay Tesla than spend $600 million and 10 years to build something that is only as good as what Tesla has today.
Yup, and installing Firefox via apt installs a snap as well. I manually had to add a separate apt repo for Firefox alone. I seem to have to do this more and more for things that just can't be slow on my machine.
Combined the effect is stronger than each on its own. Caffeine takes ~15 minutes to work. Sadly no source handy but i once read that naps are most effective below 15 minutes. Above it is possible to enter deeper sleep states and wake up worse than before.

It's less than half the size, takes maybe 1/4 the force to insert, doesn't have a fiddly mechanical push-pin in the connector, and is locked by the car vs. the connector. It shares the same connectors for both DC and AC and will autodetect. It even delivers more current, though at 400V instead of the 800V that recent CCS devices can deliver.

But most of the magic is that there's no UI to the charger device. You pull in, plug in, and walk away. Literally. Your phone will buzz automatically when the charge reaches the level required for your next leg. This part remains Tesla-only. CCS devices at these chargers need to start the current manually with the app.
To a ton of people (including developers), it is. Therefore anything that’s not Chrome or 100% compatible is “breaking the web”.

No one is forcing a Chrome hegemony on us. Developers are choosing it.
> All the founders of these apps just seem oblivious to this.

Not oblivious. Read the post by Apollo developer at https://www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/144f6xm/apollo_w...

Relevant excerpt:

> Will you build a competitor? Move to one of the existing alternatives?

> I've received so many messages of kind people offering to work with me to build a competitor to Reddit, and while I'm very flattered, that's not something I'm interested in doing. I'm a product guy, I like building fun apps for people to use, and I'm just not personally interested in something more managerial.

> These last several months have also been incredibly exhausting and mentally draining, I don't have it in me to engage in something so enormous.
It's the public point system. HN identified this accurately and early.
Except thats not at all what he said. The noise referred to the amount of API "noise" he generates. Which reddit likes to pretend is costing them millions.
Really? I'm not too knowledgable about 8-yr olds and I'm certainly not telling you what to do with yours, but if you were to get them to explain what they learned about the binary counting system you feel that it would make sense and reveal that some underlying concepts were genuinely understood?

More like eat more sashimi (which is uncooked by definition) or sushi that contains sashimi since uncooked fish meat contains a fair bit of taurine. Carpaccio would be a good option as well. If my budget supported it, that's a dietary change I'd be more than happy to make.
patriots.win, the exodus ship of T_D

It was originally thedonald.win but there was some dispute with the domain owner who left the (anonymous) team behind the site.

Nobody really knows who the ownership is, but objectively speaking the programming and build quality isn't bad. They've tried to branch out with communities.win but it's still suffering from the Voat problem of a high concentratation of banned subreddits.
I used Manjaro for a while, because they had an i3 community edition and, well, I wanted to give i3 a go. I think it was DistroTube that convinced me to try it and, honestly, I loved it.

It’s a slippery slope, though. Manjaro is just a gateway drug to Arch, and Arch is just a psychiatric test to see how many things perpetually break on you before you snap and move onto the paradise of NixOS.

Yep. I went there. Of course I was going there. My username checks out.
Most people don't care about 'drive shaft quality' or 'steering wheel quality' in their cars either, but you can be sure it will be taken good care of by engineering, and subconsciously noticed.
