You're onto something. Team-BHP [1] is run exactly like this, and it seems to be working.

For those wondering, it's a car-enthusiasts website based in India. They've been around for around 18 odd years I think.

The moderators all have actual dayjobs.

When signing up you have to write a paragraph about why you're really a petrolhead (or dieselhead because Indians love European turbo-diesels :) ), and there's a human on the other end vetting your sign-up application! Plenty, including me, have been rejected atleast once. I got in on my 2nd attempt years later.

As a matter of principle they refuse to do car advertisements.

I don't know how well the site is engineered but it works. Check it out. But I suspect most non-Indians (such as most people on HN) wouldn't find it that useful as it's mostly about the Indian car scene.

I still don't get why the democratic Obama government didn't handle that the way Sweden handled a similar situation in the 90s:

1. Nationalize the bankrupt banks.

2. Get them in order.

3. Sell them and collect the profits.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweden_financial_crisis_1990%E...

I mean, it couldn't be that Obama and/or the democratic party was corrupt and just gave away tax payer money for no reason?

Edit: It was Bush 2 who gave away the money. The then (democratic) presidential candidate Obama supported it, though: https://web.archive.org/web/20080925154355/https://www.foxbu...

Most people browse reddit on their primary media consumption device which is their smartphone. Most people use a browser on their phone that is not AdBlock capable. Reddit with ads is obnoxious IMO.
Adyen was a B2B fintech startup that made profits as it hit scaleup, and hasn’t looked back. Wise is a B2C play, listed too and seems sustainably profitable. I think the people behind both of these are connected, so my bet is that there are clusters of well-run, second-time-around (or more) founders building very solid businesses in all sorts of sectors.

This is absolutely not the case, if you've spent much time in the Reddit ecosystem you would know that frequently mods go rogue and Reddit staff have to step in to appoint new mods and some times whole new mod teams.
> all they did is provide the platform, and store the data.

You're seriously underestimating the effort it took to build that platform and how much effort it continues to take to keep it running well. I'm not talking about technical challenges, but social ones. It took a long time for them to get the system and incentives right (and it's still not quite right, IMHO), and it takes continued effort to keep it running well in the form of moderation and stopping abuse (and here it also doesn't quite get things right).

I could bang out a "BufferUnderrun.com" in a few months; many people could. But that's not the hard part.

OK but that's why I wrote 'cognitive capabilities' instead of 'intelligence'. What I meant by 'cognitive capabilities' are all of the objective abilities it has unlocked, like scoring well on standardized tests and psychological tests of theory of mind.
I agree that the capitol area was amazing, but the design of the game, characters, and experience in NV felt far more fallout-like than 3, which makes sense given who made it.
Just an entirely bogus thought. Neatly allowing all of the blame to rest on the shooters not the rest of the toxic social culture around them. Sure, that society didn't 'pull the trigger' but they damned well sure primed the kids toward those crimes.
For any remotely-controllable power meter, its contactor switch should have been designed to sync with the zero crossings of the AC waveform. That would have completely prevented this damage.

I know it would have made the meter more expensive, but it was absolutely forseeable that a wild RF signal could have induced repeated contactor reclosings. They should have built it properly.
Not everything is lost yet.

Among other things the "latch" that secures the connector in place (both to make sure the fit is tight and to avoid accidental removal, especially in high voltage modes) is a part of the plastics of the connector on the charge cable in CCS1 and under human mechanical operation but a part of the connector design on the car itself in NACS and firmware operated.

It can be too easy in rough removals to accidentally break the latch on the CCS1 charging cable (and busy car owners may not be careful enough to avoid the rougher removals) and it may be dangerous to operate with a broken latch so some of the software is (usefully) over-cautious about that. Even with the gentlest of usage by people, it's still a mechanical part prone to slow wear and tear from repeated use.
I think you're misinterpreting how mass protests work: unlike, say, a strike, the goal doesn't have to be to directly apply pain to the target until they yield. Instead, a large scale protest demonstrates, first and foremost, the ability of the opposition to organize (lending credence to the threat of further, more extreme action), and to pull more people into the organized opposition.

A two-day blackout is a warning shot.
By favourited do you mean upvoted or saved? I'm interested in a tool to do the latter.

lol, how presumptuous. I have visited China in 2007, before it turned authoritarian/dictatorship. I would not visit China again to support the dictatorship. I can visit any number of democratic countries like Taiwan.

I feel for those who don't get that they are supporting evil.

Btw, speaking of evil, China isn't giving up yet (Xi still have 10-20 years to live. free organ transplants from young Chinese, you know. high ranking politicians get them for free). It is producing destroyers at a massive rate, and will exceed # of destroyers that US has by 2040. Combined with the millions of disposable unemployed single young men, and there's still a chance that Taiwan would overwhelmed. and if Taiwan falls, the same strategy can be used to conquer Japan, South Korea, Philippines, Australia.

> a forced, ideologically-driven tarnishing of their childhood memories

I'm sure there is a minority that believes this, but the majority know that there is no ideological drive, only a greed one. Alignment with current social issues happens based on calculations of profit, not based on sincere ideological commitment.

Making good movies is hard, making movies following current social issues is easy. Both bring money, one is a lot more consistent - and the negative press keeps the properties in the media far longer than they usually would.

Hello, "limited liability company".
yah it's hard to verify whether or not the thing has true absolute accuracy. However once I started experimenting in real world scenarios where I was able to corroborate my own subjective interpretation of my senses the numbers did correlate and scale proportionally as hoped. When it was noticeably smoky outside the numbers registered high, the higher the smoke smell the numbers reflected proportionally so. I would do experiments like vacuuming and seeing what showed up. Cooking with smoke being generated, the numbers would grow.

Mine has some VOC mode too, when I took the thing to the gas station that number went way up which was pretty illuminating how much VOCs we breathe in at the pump.

Another angle to the experimentation was with and without the HEPA filter being ran. When smoke would infiltrate the indoor numbers would be like 10 or 12. Run the HEPA for say 20 min the numbers get down to 2 or 3. To me that thing was doing what I expected and served us well in the wildfires.

Oh boy, this PFAS stuff makes me feel bad because I recall using aqueous film forming foam as deck washing liquid in the Navy. AFFF contains a lot of PFAS, I found out a while ago.

There's so much discussion about deleting yourself. There should be some words online encouraging people not to jump into black holes. I hope people consider & think on the loss that self-deleting causes, when considering.

"humans are the bad guys" is not accurate?

But as a stronger statement, I don't think the Imperium is even presented as an evil faction anymore. The Inquisition is the darkest traditional faction, but look at their presentation in something new like Darktide. It's at worst morally comparable to a "grey" protagonist like the Punisher in other media.

I think there's more to it than "immigrants love their alcohol so much they started whole criminal enterprises." It's probably coincidental that the biggest names in illicit alcohol during that era happened to be Italian crime family names.

In the south there were so many bootleggers that they used to race each other around tracks to see who had the fastest car. This would eventually become Nascar.

I think it's more accurate to say that there was overwhelming support for Volstead from people in power who were swayed by the narrative that alcohol was draining families of resources and dis-inhibiting otherwise good men from hitting their wives and children. But there were also a lot of people who didn't let alcohol ruin their marriages and family relationships, and those people would eventually get the act repealed.
Open open source engine would be absolutely huge for stability & moddability. Stock Skyrim SE mostly runs fine, but is still prone to crashing, corrupting save files, etc.

Many of those can be addressed by mods such as the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch and various mods aimed at overhauling the save system but an open source engine would be really great.
I mean, I hear you if you're posting your opinion as comment 18,753 on an r/news post about the former president. But I've had some genuinely helpful interactions on smaller subreddits - things like getting guidance on how to repair old Nintendo Game and Watch hardware. It's not about getting one's opinion heard, it's about giving and getting help among folks who share the same hobby.

I don't have any affection for Reddit itself, but there are a couple of subreddits where I guess the small but critical mass of folks for a hobby somehow ended up there, and I hope they land somewhere else as Reddit commits suicide.
Does anyone actually think the problem stops at LucasFilm? It's Disney. They're ruining Marvel properties as well. They care more about pushing progressive ideologies than making a return on investment. How many bad movies and TV shows are they going to push out and then blame bigots when their propaganda fails to entertain?

And then they can't even practice what they preach, removing black actors from posters to placate countries like China. Disney needs to fail.

It is unclear what consciousness or self awareness are, they are qualia, e.g. subjective inner experiences that can’t be externally validated, and have no known mechanisms or requirements. There is no reason to think humans actually have this, nor that LLMs do not. I think that what you are saying basically boils down to “we humans feel that there is something special about us that can’t possibly apply to anything but us.”

Your statements make equal sense if you turn it around and claim LLMs have this but we do not: "these processes are rooted in computational structures such as neural networks, and data that allow LLMs to learn from experience. While humans can simulate LLM-like behavior and decision-making based on information from past experiences, they lack awareness or understanding of their actions."

All we can do is measure real world problem solving abilities, the ability to come up with correct solutions to difficult and novel problems. LLMs can do this well, in some cases exceeding human abilities, and there is no reason to think there is any fundamental limitation that will prevent them from exceeding human abilities in more areas the future.

it is, but it's also an example of what a wasted opportunity the rest of the star wars franchise has been. The mandalorian is what happens when you have a solid plan for the story you want to tell and how to tell it, and you execute that plan.

Yeah, it's a pretty common trap, the ego has a way of coming in and making you think you're doing some great thing or have accomplished a lot. You can have scammed all these people out of billions of dollars and trick yourself into thinking "well everything is emptiness anyways, it's all good".

This is a plot point in the Orson Scott Card novel 'Ender's Game'. Ender plays a generative video game on an iPad-like device that responds to his decisions and incorporates people/events from his personal life, to the point of manipulating his subconscious thoughts and dreams.

A game like this could be interesting, but you would not be able to discuss it with others as a shared experience that has fixity the way you can with any modern media, and it could certainly be used to manipulate people.
