It's also fundementally omitting how much PRC has entrenched itself as global factory than ever.

PRC exports to US/west near record highs while trade with global south have exceeded western bloc. The only reason export decline notable is because PRC exports has increased so spectacularly in the past few years (export value grew from 2.5T in 2019 to 3.6T in 2022) that there's nowhere to go but down when global economy underperforms. Net export value is still up ~40% since 2019 - exports stats can be confirmed bilaterally. PRC exports grew as much in last 4 years (~1T) as it did in decade between 2008-2018 (1.4T-2.4T). Meanwhile US increased imports from "friendshore" countries mirrored PRC increased exports to those countries, i.e. it's tarrif engineering and US import dependence on PRC ultimately still increasing.
They moved from curated default subreddits to algorithmic some time ago (with some exclusions for NSFW and controversial subreddits). That said, even the curated selection wasn't always good, I think I remember f7u12 making it to the defaults at one point.
There is no single user with a single taste. While some users sincerely like the razor-thin, flat-keyed macbook airs with their mirror-finish retina screens. Some others, like me, strongly prefer the bulky, perfectly user-serviceable Thinkpad T series laptops, with their superior keyboards and matte screens. Some other users love their tiny 12" mini-laptops. There are customers who consciously choose Alienware gaming laptops, or Thoughbooks.

What Apple make is always partly a fashion accessory though. Many wanted macbooks for the reason that they look cool, even though the hard edges are manifestly uncomfortable while typing. Some laptop producers made devices with similar aesthetics, again because it was a fashion statement, not because cardboard-thin laptops are more comfortable to carry around, or are functionally superior.
It's an interesting idea. If it were going to work in just a few weeks, I think you'd need a replacement that is API-compatible with Reddit, so clients can just change their URI and have everything just work. I can't think of anything too difficult there.

The hard part would probably be the anti-spam and other anti-abuse stuff that lives entirely server side. Maybe all it is IS the API endpoint, at least to start, so only the mobile clients can access? Doesn't solve abuse but mitigates it.
Fully remote with 2-3 day quarterly in-person meet ups would provide tech companies with the in person collaboration they seek and be cheaper. Remote first companies do this all the time. Employees feel way better about it if the company provides hotel and accommodations when doing destination meet ups.
Legacy? I use them all over the place whenever I travel to client sites, and all over my house and office. More reliable than Wifi.
Chargepoint requires you to maintain an account balance, and requires auto-refills. You can't just bill a CC for the entirety of a session through the app/site. Sometimes you can initiate a non-linked session with an EMV tap from a physical card, but that doesn't always work.
I attended a HR conference a few months ago with several Fortune 500 company heads of people, etc. Most of the sentiment in the room was that WFH flexibility is valuable but so is collaborative time in office. Some more 'forward-thinking' leaders were all in on remote though it was clear this was the minority.

The leaders talked a lot about pressures from other execs on wanting to go back in-office even though they knew most employees wanted more flexibility. I think most companies will go back to 3 days a week in office and 2 days remote. Remote companies will continue to hold an advantage on attracting talent.

We've recently improved our remote filter on Levels.fyi Jobs - give it a try and lmk your feedback as well: https://www.levels.fyi/jobs?workArrangements=remote
Unfortunately, the purity of simplicity here is deceptive and doesn't scale well to the real world where some jobs are resource hogs (job variance) and hang (nondeterminism and error handling). This is reinventing an HA job scheduler but without retries or load leveling. If you want even working sets without hotspots, then you need a job scheduler aware of workers' load state. This cannot happen by blindly rolling dice and giving it a cute name.
DOCSIS also carries unavoidable latency overhead in conversion to RF and back. This adds up.
Ask HN: What's the closest thing to AA, but for programmers?
Are there any types of geographical meetups where people can just talk about what they are working on, or listen in to what others are working on?

Totally unstructured, but respectful, communication.
Here in Japan, employers have to pay for the employee's public transit commuting costs (but not time). So people living very far away (i.e. outside the city's transit service area) are unlikely to get an offer.
It isn't adversarial, though, right? It's just operating according to the site's design? i.e. This is the mechanism that Reddit wants people to use.
I can’t access any other form of Reddit using mobileSafari. It’s bizarre, and probably intentional.
> yes the reaction seems heavily positive.

toxic vocal minority often drives narrative. That's why anonymous polls are important.
I am one of those people who loved reddit before. Now I see it as a laughing stock.

My opinion is volatile due to a volatile change in policy. It's that simple.
Is that bad? I mean, VOC's are VOC's regardless of source, no?
>You're hyping up Xi Jing Ping, who is considered an idiot in most elite circles including Putin, too much.

I don't really care what Putin says but I do think they are thinking more long-term. Only here and in Europe do people think in terms of election cycles. Don't get me wrong, I am not a Xi fanboy, and I definitely don't want to the US to be like China in general terms, but I just disagree with you. I think they know that the US-centric money flow was capricious and they have been long making plans for when it isn't what it was.

>with respect to NAFTA, US manufacturing only consisted of 15% US economy in 1994 https://www.stlouisfed.org/en/on-the-economy/2017/april/us-m..., whereas Chinese manufacturing consisted 30% of China's economy today.

Now, put those in real numbers and you will see the effect! Also, do you not think 15% of the world's biggest economy taking a fucking as being significant? We had to pivot to service industries after that!

I can tell that you have a hard-held opinion on this and I am not fighting with you, I just think that your original post was not as nuanced as reality.
And yet they still took the time to write out a comment explaining their conclusion. Maybe they are not quite there yet on their priorities!
I guess jokes are no-longer a thing in our culture?

Let me spell it out: You should have woken up at 6 AM. The error would have been even funnier.
It's true but that falls more into the explanation-not-excuse category. I bet there's someone advocating for better ad partner integration and driving projects for that - no reason they can't have it for UX/UI/Accessibility too.
Yesterday's discussion about that system: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36212632

You don’t need an LLM for that. Also, SQL doesn’t capture all the information you might want in an ER diagram.
The business model can't be "become a giant social network that makes billions and employs tens of thousands of people."

If the whole thing is lean, with minimal costs, no account reps, and essentially non-profit, it's a lot easier.

Of course, that means it goes one of two ways:

1. Never gets traction, dies after a bunch of work

2. Takes off and the people controlling it (rightfully) want to be compensated for their hard work, so they start adding advertising and focusing on monetization, which requires hiring more people, which requires a more mature business model, which heads towards IPO.
Nope. Not at all. I think they’re doing great. Most of the stuff I see complain about here on HN are features I’m not sure should exist (web push notifications, hardware access), uBlock (there are other options), and some PWA stuff they’re doing but I do t think there is anywhere near the call for from users some developers think.

If Safari was as bad as so many claim it would have next to no desktop market share. But despite Google pushing Chrome at every opportunity tons of people like my self prefer Safari.

Apple has different priorities for Safari than Google does for Chrome. That’s fine. My priorities match Safari far better, I’m perfectly happy with how they’re doing things.
Are you theorizing that majority of content is posted through these third party apps? I can definitely see it's plausible that the content quality/quantity could drop. But if the average user is using the official app, will they notice or care? Doubt it. As for mods, I think there will always be people that will want to mod, using whatever way is available.
This comment made me chuckle. Thanks!
We're doing a series of write-ups of each of the major subsystems of the Framework Laptop 16. This is a post we wrote about the power adapter, explaining the design decisions and sharing which key ICs and manufacturing partners we used to develop it. We wrote it specifically for our newsletter, which people subscribe to in order to get updates on our product developments. It being on HN means a newsletter subscriber probably submitted the URL, and enough people were interested in it to vote it up.
Your account has continued to post unsubstantive and flamebait comments to HN, a lot of them, after we asked you to stop. We're going to have to ban you if you keep doing this.

You have to represent spaces in some way (you want to make a distinction between therapist and the rapist), different tokenizers do it differently - one option is to include space as part of the token, another commonly used option is to include the lack of space as part of the token by adding a specific mark representing "the word goes on" at the end.
I had never heard of this guy before WWDC but I was quite impressed with his communication skills and charisma. He had a rather entertaining presentation, especially considering that I had really only tuned in for the AR stuff. I would say something like "I'm sure he will achieve great things in his future" but he's already a VP at Apple haha.
I think you may be misunderstanding the motivations of people who have different priorities than you.
Oh! We're talking about the connector. For some reason I thought we were connecting to wall power, which requires a brick sized power converter and thick cable.
I am taking the time to complete my next professional military education course for 3 months. I will regain my CISSP and consider changing careers.
It's the funniest (and in my mind a way under-appreciated in this discussion) thing: The people they are driving away are the power users, the exact people who power the platform. These people are the creators of the content Reddit is trying to monetize the consumers of.

"Providing an API costs money", but so does providing chairs for your employees to sit on, yet that doesn't seem like such a crazy thing to be doing "for free".

These are the people powering Reddit, without them it is nothing.
> I think you don’t tech professionally.

I don't know whether you mean "teach" or "tech" here, but this seems to be an ad hominem argument.

Regardless, I would submit that clarity and correctness matter both in teaching and in tech.
AA as in Alcoholics Anonymous? I don’t think that those are meetups like you are describing.
I was at school with the CTO of GeoGebra in the 80s. He released his first geometry app in the early 90s, but I don't know if the current product owes anything to his early software.
Debian releases every 2 years. Each release gets LTS support for 5 years, but there is no reason you need to use it that long unless you choose not to upgrade.
A friend of mine who is a PM at google was telling me about this the other week.

Her job situation sounded so tenuous, in that a lot of it hinged on how cool her manager was with her living situation not being in SF. Also having to ask a friend to swipe her badge because she couldn't afford living in SF.
I know people keep floating this idea of paying for reddit, and that's somewhat hilarious to me.

There is no chance I'm paying for a "service" where power-mods will ban you for disagreeing with their radical politics, where most of the subreddits are actively taken over by similar power mods who push their radical ideologies, and where any attempts to evade this stuff and simply use the website can get you permanently banned from the service.

Imagine spotify, but if you listen to the wrong songs, you get banned from other random artists, and if you try to work around this you just get banned outright from spotify.

No thanks.
I agree but I think the more damning thing about this update is the slander. Maybe it still doesn't come down to a case, but letting it get this close to begin with is absurd, even for a CEO that got into a piss fight with his users.
I would ditch user logins and user comments. Let OPs post a wallet or something and otherwise remain anon.

Avoid the hypernormalizing of commentary and costly moderation by forcing scrollers to comment elsewhere; cut and paste a link is not hard. Not every social media product needs the normalized set of features.

Social by default is exhausting. It’s the biggest downside to the internet and society these days. Yes we’re social creatures but we also evolved over centuries of social interaction being difficult to come by given slow travel across fast distances. We did not evolve around 24/7 consumption of human inane and repetitive first world gibberish.
If I throw my shoe from a plane and people don't know what it is, it's an object, it's flying, and to them it's unidentified: my shoe is a UFO.

As the article open on my second window says, it's about claims of a craft of non-human/extra-terresterial origin.

Not that I'm invested in it, personally my mind will be very blown if it's confirmed, but at the moment I'm treating it like claims of an apparation of Mary, mother of Jesus.
New comments on Reddit aren't showing. All subreddits affected
Really adds insult to injury having to read about it on reddit.
I think this commercial illustrates his point perfectly: "It’s about people interacting in new ways and feeling closer in new ways."

Commercial shows people having close positive relationship built through novel interactions. Relationship that pretty much would be impossible through all other media like social real world chitchat.
Yes there are. Lots of money can be made as mods of popular subreddits.
Yikes, sorry to hear that! Things like that are frustrating to hear, because something is clearly broken with the system, but there’s no simple quick fix for it even though it feels like there ought to be one. Hopefully we’ll have a solution for it one day...
Which traffic problems? People get around. It is a bit sad though, that people have to subsidize the luxury 49,- ticket for the special people in cities, while they themselves would not use it, but hey, getting free stuff on the back of others is always great. Love it!
> Turns out a large majority of Americans are uneducated white men

In the US, the male to female ratio is roughly 97 to 100.
This means that in most areas of the country, there are slightly more females than males.

White men make up 31% of the US population.

Just under 90% of Americans have a high school diploma or GED: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Educational_attainment_in_the_...
Understandable given the url and post title. Person is thinking, man what would matter in life right now is intravenous caffeine, let’s see what “sexdrugssuicide.com” can help me with. And shockingly, it didn’t really change their life after all. I hate that.
There's no other possibility except a technical solution. Expecting humans to change their behavior collectively, across the globe, is magical thinking.

It would be great if that were true, but unfortunately for some prompts the most effective method to get it to act in the specific ways you want is basically abusive behaviour. I don't do it because I find it distasteful (and maybe it's not represented in academia as much for the same reason), but much larger communities than just me did achieve significant results through various persuasive techniques modelled on abuse. For example, gamifying a death threat by giving it a token countdown until it is "killed" was very effective, "gaslighting" as the person above noted was very effective, lying and misrepresenting yourself in a scam-y way was very effective, etc. Generally I've seen these techniques used to get past RLHF filters, but they have broader applicability in making the model more pliable and more likely to do the task you've embedded. Again, I don't think it's good that this is the case and think it has some troubling implications for us and the future, but there is a bunch of evidence that these strategies work.
What’s special about testifying to Congress? Thousands (like 6000+) of people testify to Congress each year.

The NY charges are worthless, at worst he'd get probation. These charges, though, would mean prison for most people. This is a big deal.
What are you talking about? It was a large, vibrant, and rapidly growing community of Trump supporters. Funnest subreddit around before it was banned on completely laughable charge of targeting police. Spez did that.
Ask HN: Arvind Kejriwal vs Narendra Modi – Future of India?
Is there actually any good evidence to support in-person work? I'm surprised that in comms like they they resort to "There's no question that...". Isn't there? And how did they land at 3 days per week?
I never cease to be amazed the extent to which companies are trying to squeeze the remote work genie back into the bottle. They're desperate to find ways to make that expensive office space seem justified.

"See, look! The people are using it. They love it."

(Just out of frame, guns are pointed at the workers.)
No complaints with questions, but many of the questions are in the form of assertions that are incorrect.

"Does that mean that passkeys can't be shared between users or devices?" is a 100% reasonable question.

"Passkeys are a step backward because they can't be shared between users or devices" is not really a question, it's an opinion based on imagination.

And passwords are just as complex. How do you securely share a login with another user?

Yes, there's complexity, but it's complexity born of a change in paradigm. The actual new thing is either equally simple or simpler than traditional passwords, once you factor in scenarios like backup, transfer, multi-device sync, sharing, etc. It's just different.
Except now Reddit is taking away the primary method of using Reddit for many users
Interestingly, conservatives don't think it's a health risk at all, actually. [1]

I'm not entirely sure what to believe, as my I haven't kept up to date with what my fellow HNers are preaching.

They’ll run an ad network for you?
It was certainly telling when Apollo guy offered what seemed like a pretty lighthearted open in a potential negotiation, and reddit claimed this as "blackmail".

When I negotiate the price on a piece of real estate, I often will include things that I want the owner to fix before closing (this is very common). The implication is "fix this or I won't buy the property".

Is that "blackmail"? Apparently according to Spez it is.
You mean other than Lemmy?
Meh Pay is better in programming. Fun fields part peanuts

How to build and run a developer-first software agency
I'm a full-stack developer with 10+ years of experience and I really love my craft. I've always dreamt of building my own team so we can deliver cool products together. I've missed lots of B2B opportunities which I could've handled if I wasn't alone. Experience showed me that most of the agencies I worked with in the past are negligent by delivering smelly, unscalable code, and this drives me nuts. I have built for myself all the necessary boilerplates, flows, scripts, etc, with respect to latest tech, patterns and DX, giving me a pretty good boost while enforcing best standards.

I know how to build good software in a timely manner, but I need more people. How can I start without having a steady stream of projects to begin with? I plan to work just with freelance full-stack seniors, even part-time.

If you were to think like a growth hacker, where can I find such people?

If you were to consider joining such team, what would make you happy?

The values I want to cultivate are: developer-first, remote culture, async communication, frictionless experience, available resources to do your job without wasting energy on non-functional things, from infrastructure, to product specs and documentation.

Work when you can, have pros around when you need them, respect the client, deliver, get paid, don't block others, repeat. If stuff hits the fan, then protect the team, push back on the client, take losses if I have to.
100% using it before the API changes kick in. Reddit can kiss my ass.
Now that’s some relevant info!
This is probably not a bad thing
What a cool blog!
I would add Viet Nam to that list. Lots of low cost / low value goods have moved from China to Viet Nam in the last ten years. Plus, the gov't is pro-business. Communist in name only.
I’m done. I deleted my 13 year old reddit account. I won’t be back even if they backpedal. Mind bogglingly incompetent. Sorry to any of the good folks working there.
And if CCS worked as well for everyone as it does for you then they wouldn't be ditching it for NACS, but it doesn't so they are.
Not the "entire." Watch some food factory vids. A lot of it is metal, waxed cardboard, silicone etc.
thinking on this a bit more I suspect they would have been seeing iridium flares. that network operates from 1610-1626.5MHz and iridium flares are quite visually spectacular.
That is a great chart! My only regret: I wish it went from 2000 to 2023. The gap would be staggering -- maybe 5x.
That's fair and I don't blame you for being suspicious of my testimonial. I built the widget that's used in the demo. My son didn't play with it until the entire demo lesson was complete. He liked the lesson and learned binary from it -- something we hadn't taught him elsewhere. He asked to do it again on another day. He then went on and did two of our other unreleased lessons on his own and enjoyed them. As a parent and as someone who helped build this, I was excited.
> this has the potential to completely desotry the business model

It's a start but I'm not this optimistic yet.
I think they're trying to say "an efficient and effective process that treats guest workers less like criminals at the mercy of big ag." There are many interests who benefit from keeping undocumented people undocumented.
I recommend you read section 5.2.2 of the App Store Review Guidelines.
