Personally when the fork happened, I was interested in it... but I'm mostly "meh" about it since its another Q&A style format that maintains all the advantages and disadvantages of the format that SO provides.

I really hoped that they would have gone for something much more radical in terms of trying to create a way to share knowledge.

It's Stack(Exchange|Overflow) with better governance and a different development cycle time and focus - and I appreciate that... but its still that same Stack in terms of underlying format.

I would have been more interested if they went to something like how Discourse is different from forums. It's still a forum, but it took the structure of a forum in a new way that solves some of the traditional forum issues.

I'd also suggest checking out https://topanswers.xyz ( https://topanswers.xyz/tex is one of the more active ones). For example https://topanswers.xyz/tex?q=4593 - and you'll note that there's a chat rather than comments on a question or an answer...

But getting that community there, and stable, and growing is a very hard problem. It's one of the things that Reddit and SO are fairly successful at doing because of the network effects and the corresponding exoduses from other services when they were growing.

There was a compelling story to tell of "why do you ant to switch." There's a story now, but mastodon, Lemmy, codidact and similar haven't really stood out. It feels like "we're the same but better... if you ignore the performance of the site."

"Yea, I could switch from reading reddit to reading Lemmy... but it doesn't have a feed of 200 cat pictures I need each day for my daily dose of eye bleach."
This is brilliant; I didn't know there was a well-known source for this. Thank you!
If the other commenter saying "The problem is 3M scientists have know toxicity to human and have withheld the information to the public and regulators" is accurate, your point is invalid. How could we ban a product that we were misled on.
What does "web-based" mean? Does it run in a browser? As a standalone application? Is it because it is written in Javascript?... Genuinely curious.
It's backwards. Writing a C compiler in C or Asm makes sense, a Python compiler in C also does, but a C compiler in Python is an odd inversion of abstraction.
How do people deal with isolating system specific config in Nix? Like stuff for a particular graphics card?
I disagree. It sounds like he’s shooting from the hip to me.

If there’s a crisis PR person there, they’ve faked it until they made it.
No. But most people who aren't affected aren't going to take the time to comment and say "This doesn't affect me." Most of the people being vocal about these recent reddit changes are those people affected by the changes. It can feel like it's doom and gloom and the end of reddit when you read comments about it, but in reality, it probably affects a very small percentage of reddit users. (Though from what I hear, it might affect a large percentage of the mods. So _that_ might end up having effects on the larger user base. We'll have to see how that plays out.)
It's the <title> on old.reddit.com still.
Glad you found it fun :). Thanks for the tip will add
No evidence and just one reply, which is saying it's not true. People are upvoting with their pitchforks right now.
The language in your post (particularly where you say "over a decade") misleadingly suggests that there was significant buildup pre-2014. And that poor, frightened Russia has just reacting the way any country would, in response to this imagined buildup.

A P2P cache might make a lot of sense to reduce traffic to servers but you still need an authoritative copy of everything. Also the P2P cache would be opt-in and it's effectiveness would depend on its adoption.

I'm on android with my theme set to dark, couldn't read the text without a lot of difficulty as the circuit almost matched the colour of the font.
I don't think that's the expectation here, as that would imply that users who aren't generating much traffic per user would be free, while you'd only charge users who are generating more traffic. Which would be terribly broken in this case, as Reddit is a long-tail service where the users who each make few requests, add up to the supermajority of the traffic served.

I think their expectation on Reddit's end is that these third-party apps "should" be charging a subscription fee to every single user that uses them, of something like $12/year, and passing most of that on to Reddit; where the heavy users will be negative-margin to retain, but where this doesn't matter because the users who don't use Reddit much will be subsidizing them. Like insurance.

Which is also terribly broken, for classical insurance-economics reasons: just like healthy people generally don't care about getting health insurance unless they're forced to do so, people who don't use Reddit much certainly won't be willing to pay $12/year for it. So it'll only be those power users interested in paying; and so the average usage among that group will be much higher; and so you'll need to charge them quite a bit more than $12/year... and they probably won't be willing to pay that.
After I made that comment, I stopped for a short time to think what I would do. My conclusion was that it is much better done with something like Mastodon (or even Mastodon itself) than with a web site.
This means that acme.sh has an RCE. Once the patch is in I'm rotating all my certs, even though I use ZeroSSL.

I do wonder if what HiCA did gave possibilities to post the private key somewhere else?
Well, most linux users and computer users in general disagree with you. I personally loathe snap and will not use software that is packaged only in snap. I use my distro just fine, far from useless.

But you're free to add snap to anything you like. The problem with Ubuntu is forcing it on users, not simply that snap exists.
Is there a way to use menus other than "press and hold, move and release"? "click and drag" is consistently one of the harder things for people to accomplish correctly.
Haha, clearly this was a bad example, because you're right, both are bad. I'm recently coming back to JavaScript after years of Kotlin, and I've clearly gotten too comfortable with standard libraries that have decent one-liner functions for this kind of thing.

I'm patching in a loop now (though I feel like a regular for loop is more readable than a loop with indexOf).
Or, you know, people could stop voting for authoritarian assholes who don't care if bad things happen to average people because that's not why they are in government anyway.
this is an oversimplification that borders on absurdity.

Second, this quote at the end:

Why is there taurine in energy drinks?
Power-law usage distribution. The median Reddit user probably opens the app for five minutes a day. People who even bother to make accounts / join non-default subreddits are a minority. People who leave comments on Reddit are basically bigfoot.
Morrowind's predecessor Daggerfall had randomly generated dungeons. Overall, they were pretty bad although they were kind of interesting and added variety. I got the impression they randomly stuck basic dungeon chunks together to build them.

The idea of using the AI to generate new similar textures is a pretty cool one.
This only gives you 1000 posts. You'll need to ask Reddit for an archive of all of your data. Their SLO is 30 days. I doubt that now given the madness going on.
Yes, the army did not "test germ warfare" on the subway.
The original plans were for a tunnel between SI and Brooklyn. Still probably the most realistic of any plan though it does lose the benefits of a direct connection to Manhattan.
sad thing is that if your username is banned - it gives error... cool thing is that you can pull any username you want... (unless banned as stated)
A lot of subreddits - especially smaller ones - would be instantly overrun by spambots without these requirements.
> the humans really are the bad guys

The fact that the Salamanders are praised because they think of the people before nuking a planet really does tell you quite a lot about the shining beacon of Humanity that the Adeptus Astartes are supposed to be.

> I mean, so are lots of other factions, but that's the dark future of the 41st millenium for you.

Basically, it’s a setting where there are no good guys. Except maybe the Tau, but nobody likes them anyway.

The fact that humans are actually quite terrible from a moral perspective, and that most other factions have aspects you can sympathise with is actually very interesting, and makes the universe compelling. For example Nurgle followers really are benevolent good guys from their perspective, and that is very well documented. There is basically only the Drukhari (and tyranids, but that’s different because they have no moral compass whatsoever) that are really purely evil, even from their point of view.
I used to be a lawyer. While I never got in trouble with the disciplinary commission, I did keep up with what they were up to. And once, I was involved in a bankruptcy case where they were a party (the disbarred lawyer filed bankruptcy, and it was a whole mess).

My sense is that these are serious people who do not put up with BS. BS will only make it worse.

Pure Typescript supporting all of the Ecmascript spec would have to output a lot of C to get the same results.
>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.

Correct.

Marvel and DC comics up to a few years ago, and the pre-Discovery Star Trek franchise, shared a broad-church liberal view of the world. Stories that explicitly pushed an agenda for the sake of agenda-pushing were mocked by fans, and other writers would ignore them or explicitly retcon the stories out.

Now we have (no joke) a transvestite member of the Legion of Super-Heroes travel 1000 years to the present day to march in a Pride parade.
I wonder what it says about a country's intentions if they feel threatened enough to kill tens of thousands of innocent people over them shifting towards joining a defensive alliance.
What other options are there apart from mentioned gravity? I mean there are waves in materials like sound but that seem to be easier than EM.
"If the USA had not continued to expand NATO eastward (especially the discussion of making Georgia and Ukraine part of NATO in 2008), a few hundred thousand Ukrainians and Russians would still be alive and Crimea would still be part of Ukraine."

Yes, you did say that. Russian response was overkill, but you didn't mention Putin there. Clever.

It wouldn’t surprise me if someone is copying questions into a GDoc for him and then he’s dictating the replies in the GDoc, so they’re using a Q/A format.

indexOf() is faster than the naive character-by-character loop because (presumably) it does all the work outside of JavaScript. You only run JavaScript code for each newline that is found rather than for every character. indexOf() may even use SIMD instructions for speed.

I doubt that most people using reddit use third party apps. I even doubt many people do.

Asterbase – All-in-one tool for learning anything
Hi Hacker News community! My name is Andy and I wanted to share a new product for learning that I have been working on recently called Asterbase (asterbase.com).

We’re creating an all-in-one tool that you can use to learn anything, but also to actually follow through and achieve your learning goals. We’ve noticed that almost everyone has something that they want to learn, like coding, design, videography, languages, math or animation. But very few people successfully follow through and learn them.

To help more people follow through and achieve their learning goals, we’ve looked at the entire learning process from start, middle, to finish to identify the hardest parts about learning for each of these phases and build solutions for them into Asterbase.

Notable Features:
- Roadmaps with step-by-step guidance for learning a variety of topics
- Personalizable learning workspaces
- Powerful visualizations to quantify your learning progress
- Collaborative learning tools
- Job matching

I know that a large portion of Hacker News's demographic consists of engineers, designers, and other professionals who often learn new skills for self and career development so we felt many people would find Asterbase useful to help with that. Asterbase is also great for self-taught learners and hobbyists.

We see learning as one of the greatest superpowers someone can have since it levels up what you know and what you can do. This in turn can lead to more opportunities in the future.

We are going to be launching the pre-alpha of the product soon. If Asterbase sounds interesting to you I would highly recommend that you sign up to our wait list on asterbase.com. You’re also welcome to join our discord server: https://discord.gg/r5z6TUjhkH

Thanks for your time and if you have any questions feel free to comment below and I would be happy to answer them!

Steve is very clearly stuck in a position where he has to kill 3rd party apps, but you really have to think there was a much better way to go about doing this. His AMA right now is embarrassing.

Said rope is part of the expanding Universe i.e. it also expands, just the right amount, doesn't it?
Ah it was a miscommunication then, my bad!

I interpreted "capturing value" as meaning "capturing potential value" i.e. some untapped resource, or in other words generating value.

So it sounds like we're talking about the same thing then just in different ways.
LLM developers have no need for Reddit’s API: Reddit data is available through a variety of sources that don’t require usage of the API. The API they’re targeting are third-party clients used by humans. Apps like Apollo are the target. Reddit’s comment volume is high but not high enough to drive significant revenue if LLM developers were consuming comments via the API.

Yeah this doesn't hold water. If you need the precision, float isn't suitable since he precision drops of. If you don't need the precision, no need to use float.

Just use int64.
I don't understand how they messed this up so bad. They say they didn't know it could hallucinate and that they thought it was just like any other search engine. But it seems like even if it worked like they thought, they'd still have fucked up?

If it's just like a normal person, if that person isn't a lawyer, you wouldn't ask them to do your lawyery work. I'd hope this lawyer doesn't his kids to do his work for him.

If it's just like a normal search engine, we all know how much bullshit, spam, and misinformation there is on the internet (mostly written by normal good old fashioned humans!). So that wouldn't have been trustworthy either!

There's no way this kind of thing is excusable.
"It is so democratic that the people couldn't even elect their president smoothly."

If you care to measure the success of democracy by the degree of the consent of its victims, this would be a good point and China would be much more democratic than the US.

It's not about the site at that point, it's accusations of blackmail. It is entirely acceptable to defend yourself, the other way to do it is inside a courtroom.
I worked at BMW for many years. I didn‘t do anything relate to their F1 program but once I talked to an engineer that did.

He was a mechanical engineer that designed different parts for the road cars. Once, people from the F1 team went to him because they had an issue with a part breaking frequently and asked him to improve it.

He designed another part and told the F1 guys that this will easily last for thousands of hours. They weren‘t happy. They told him they only wanted the part to last for 2 hours and the one he designed was too heavy. He had to do it again…
Same. I delete my Reddit account, posts, and (sometimes) comments regularly because screw that cesspool.
context was "joke" about $10m to go quiet.
This just shows that residential solar is kind of dumb. It's more gaming quirks of rate structures than it is producing cheap energy. Fortunately, there's more than enough room for large scale solar, installed at about $1/W.
I can't access your link. I only know the Macs from what the rest of my family reports- insanely long battery life (days without recharging) and reasonable performance.

I can't imagine the battery life is very good in real world compared to the mac. I haven't tested nor have I looked at any benchmarks, so it's entirely possible I'm totally wrong. But I haven't heard people claiming performance similar to the mac.
That's what the linked paper is about. Risk of myocarditis post mRNA-specific vaccination.
A friend who pays more attention WUI and wildfire stuff told me that none of the cost estimates of climate change include the costs dues to smoke. That seemed hard to believe but the source was this interview. In many ways living in the West the smoke in east doesn't seem that far from the normal of the last 5, maybe 10, years. But I have to remember how much denser the east is and how many more people are impacted.

Even if you ignore the question of climate change and put the blame on wildland fire practices and our approach to forests over the last century this is going to be a long term problem. And an expensive one. There seems to be such a barrier to get over to get back to relatively healthy balance of fuels. Listening to old timers say what worked 50 years ago isn't clearly a solution because we put our thumbs on the scale and now the consequences are getting hard to tamp down.

Considering Purdue Pharma, the Sackler family has so far had to pay out $10.5 billion (estimates of their net worth including those settlements have it dropping $8b during this time period) and despite trying quite hard have not managed to gain legal immunity or protection regarding civil and criminal liability. That means they'll very likely be hit with more lawsuits going forward and possibly even criminal charges.

Looking at it, I think thats pretty good and hope the possibility for future lawsuits means they continue to pay, but knowing that case is an unusual outlier and that none of the other people involved like the CEO or other executives have had any consequences makes it feel a little underwhelming.

I'm glad government is going after bad companies more and I hope they continue, but it does seem like our legal system is just not equipped to correctly hold people responsible in these cases.
> defensive alliance

I almost spit out my coffee I laughed so hard.

That's how the alliance markets itself, but that's not how everyone in the world, especially their potential adversaries, perceives it. And its potential adversaries have been saying so, publicly, for decades.

As I'm sure you understand, all military alliances, even if they start out defensive in nature, can easily become offensive in nature.

> if they feel threatened enough

Exactly, they felt threatened, because they did not and do not perceive NATO as a defensive alliance.

I highly recommend watching the videos I linked in my earlier comment.
You can use both at the same time. Each activity gets its own set of virtual desktops. I use activities to switch between low-distraction and high-distraction modes; combined with a 2x2 grid of virtual desktops, I have certain important things on the north-east virtual desktop on all activities, but other things will be only in one or the other activity.

overwhelming majority of their users are readers. very few actually bother to write something, and even fewer have something valuable to say. those are the ones with high karma and those are the ones that drive traffic to the site. so yeah, even if 50k users who drive traffic delete and move out, it matters to the site.
There is precedent of just responding that you can't discuss that. Not committing perjury. Its plain as day and you are stretching remarkably far to excuse blatantly illegal and immoral behavior.
So you agree it’s ok to record all private conversations just in case then?

Okay, so now life is imitating art? Never knew ;-)

No, you are being rude. To the average internet commenter. Or maybe to GPT. ;-)

By bringing down either one of them to the level of the other.

Unless you meant "average" in the same sense as this short tale:

A statistician had his head in a fridge and his feet in an oven, and when asked how he felt, he said, "on the average, I feel quite comfortable".
If it is about the cold war, that would have been the USSR, not Russia. And they did act against the West (WWII disagreements aside, starting with the blockade of West Berlin), they planned for attacks on Western Europe, etc. The idea that the USSR and Warsaw pact were somehow just reactive isn't true.

Might the West have overestimated their capacity: probably yes (especially in later years), but the conflict was still very real.
