It's interesting that people almost never disagree with this when they're the customers. We love seeing progress, even if it's a small portion of what we need. When frequent updates show that progress is slow, we're glad we're aware, and we don't blame the updates themselves for slowing the project down. In the rare cases where we feel like the process demands too much of our attention, we don't stress about it; we just say, "Looks great. Let's talk again in two weeks or when you have completed feature X."

Those hypothetical drawbacks only loom large in our minds when we're the ones doing the work.
Vice had some interesting endeavors a decade ago. Now they're just another partisan outrage rag
It's always weird to me when people cannot fathom that others think and operate differently, here we have an entire thread of people essentially insisting that social status _must_ matter to everyone.

I'm on the spectrum and growing up I worked with special needs kids with my mother as she ran a non-profit focused on specials needs community. Let me tell you, some people are simply not cognizant of social status and there's a whole swath of people who are passingly aware but find it irrelevant to their life. Solitary creatures that go their own way exist in all kinds of highly social species.

This thread feels akin to threads you occasionally see where a bunch of selfish people insist altruistic acts _cannot_ exist. Their insistent claims against the possibility of altruistic acts only reveal their internal state, they aren't high quality arguments, just assumptive assertions by people who can't imagine alternate mental states.

Some people just want to spend their lonely numbered days free.

1. Is your plan to follow your competitors path from innovation to acquisition to status quo and be the BestPlatform for the next 10 years, waiting for the next innovating startup to take over?

2. Or do you consider keep on innovating, following the JS or DX trend or whatever clever innovation? If so what’s your plan to keep on innovating after acquisition whereas others failed ?

Thanks for the post and good luck.
The company's officers are in on the take. Legally they can take these actions on behalf of the company, as long it's clear and in the open.

Probably possible but that would likely take their app's user base down significantly as most average users wouldn't go through the steps to register their own API keys and setup billing.
That's not what I think at all - I'm actually begging you to come up with a better delineation.. that's the challenge the law faces in regards to what it should be.

We can't write a law that says "good patents are good, bad patents are bad" there needs to be a tangible, comprehensible delineation between good and bad patents that can be applied to things not yet invented... that's the challenge.

I'm not sure how you came to your response at all, to be perfectly honest. I'm certainly not saying that lawyers are the only people who should be involved. I'm saying, if software engineers want to help... they need to actually help instead of just pretending like its trivial to delineate the good from the bad. It isn't. Really, the point I'm making is that, as experts in the field, if you cannot come up with a better delineation than simply stating "good" or "bad" - how is that you expect lawyers to do a better job?

To further my point, that you responded the way you did is evidence that software engineers aren't actually engaging in the problem and are just sitting on the sidelines having tantrums because things aren't going the way they want.
I also found the Preakness kind of crazy. Perhaps the most crazy part of it was that it's in a really sketch part of Baltimore (Pimlico), and there's a whole cordon of police from the light rail station to the track making sure that nobody drunkenly gets lost or worse on the way to and from.
This is already a big enough problem ;_;
Could you explain your comment further? I don't understand it. Specifically, I don't understand what "has many Ys through Xs" means. That phrase just doesn't syntactically make sense to me. And then you talk about storing "user_id on both" as a denormalized solution---but what that makes me think of is having two independent one-to-many relations (user-to-X and user-to-Y), with a table for each, each having a user_id column linking back to the user---but that's perfectly well normalized as far as I know, so I assume you probably intend to convey something different.
Correct. In general it's a good capitalist scheme. Start with a mostly open platform, court third parties into making tools that make it significantly better, get your user base. Then kill the third parties to consolidate power.

It worked for Facebook. It worked for Google Chat. It's failing for Twitter, and for reddit, for the same reasons. They did it too quickly and without the finesse needed to prevent a revolt. Instead of cranking the pricing, they needed to do what Facebook and Google did -- slowly degrade the integration system until it was unusable, start restricting features, add features incompatible with third parties, etc, until the third parties all give up and the API dies a seemingly natural death. reddit just doesn't have the foresight or planning to pull off most plans, including nefarious ones.

But it didn't work for Gmail. Despite Google's best efforts, email still exists outside Google. If we want to avoid playing this Fark->Digg->Reddit game again, we need an open standard that doesn't rely on a single company, like email.
They weren't talking about supplying energy with batteries.

The initial use case for small batteries on grids are providing the grid stability, frequency control, (synthetic) inertia and other important operational factors that the original comment thinks are being ignored.

> Unfortunately this is article fails to talk about grid stability, frequency control, inertia, and other important operational factors that keep transmission grids running.

This 'value stacking', which the immediate parent called 'aux services' makes them much more valuable to the grid than just their delivery of power would suggest.

Though we're now approaching a point in the mass deployment where the batteries have flooded that market on many grids and there's only actual energy storage left for them to do (and maybe avoid some transmission bottlenecks).
The blog post indicates that GPT-4 (0613) will be generally available soon.

ASML (or as the news once called them "an obscure Dutch firm") is the magic behind our most cutting edge technology, they make the machines that make the chips in all of the most advanced technology. If this AI boom is like the gold rush, and GPU makers are the guys selling the shovel to the gold miners, well ASML is the guy making the shovel making machine to sell to GPU makers. They're also at least partially responsible for the massive chip shortage we have been going through.

ASML was expecting to get their newest technology figured out and sold to chip manufacturers, but ran into some unexpected hurdles and it was delayed. Those chip makers had been expecting this new tech, and so were their customers, and now had to alter their plans to use "not the latest and greatest chips" but rather the next best thing they could get their hands on. Now all those devices that wanted the new chips have to fight over the ones that are already existing, and meanwhile COVID causes tech needs to skyrocket (honestly, just Chromebooks for schools alone were a massive amount) while also screwing up shipping, and Crypto is obviously still all the rage. So massive demand spike combined with a lower supply, leads to a huge shortage and price spike for devices with chips.
A medium-ish video game reddit that I participate in held two votes on whether to participate, and whether to shutdown for 24 or 48 hours, and in both users overwhelmingly (95%) voted in favor of shutting down, and for 48 hours.

There is a vocal amount of non-mods who are also participating.

Also "mods" are still users of reddit. When I'm an admin of a Facebook group, I'm still a 'facebook user'.

TL;DR: the focus on the implementation details, and descriptions like this, are detrimental, even perilous,

because such accounts are both accurate, and deeply misleading.

This is description, but it is neither predictive, nor explanatory.

It implies a false model, rather than providing one.

Ximm's Law: every critique of AI assumes to some degree that contemporary implementations will not, or cannot, be improved upon.
Lemma: any statement about AI which uses the word "never" to preclude some feature from future realization is false.
Thanks, the audio clip helps. Selig's initial voice and language signals sounded all over the place (maybe he was nervous, or was speaking very off-the-cuff when broaching an acquisition), but I agree that his correction starting around 2m17s sounds sincere.

Devil's advocate still: the perception of a shakedown isn't necessarily dependent on mishearing something literally as "go quietly". What reason does Reddit have to pay $10M, rather than pay $0? Reddit leadership might even feel like it's a shakedown from their perspective, whether or not that's the intention or perception from some app developers.

Personally, were I involved, I would indeed be mentally tracking everyone's perspectives and honesty, since that matters a lot (e.g., a mutually better deal might be reached when you understand each other; or you might get a contract, but they might not honor it in good faith, or will screw you at renewal time).

But I think Internet pitchforks would do well to keep memetic talking points to the unambiguous (e.g., the proposed API licensing fees, the short time horizon, a party's claims of how that will affect them), and avoid paths that seem more like (ahem) "We did it, Reddit!" loose cannon character assassination.
Yes, there's a difference between being concise (which may be highly information-dense) and just saying something that is intrinsically low value.

- "mcdonalds is having a sale on fries" - fine, whatever, it's not bad or dangerous information but I don't care if it spreads

- "former president indicted on 37 charges" does a lot of work, there is of course tons more to read, but it's hard to say that statement on its own isn't huge news

- "normalize talking about mental illness" doesn't require much explanation to anyone who's struggled to talk about mental illness, but certainly a lot of thought went into the concept, and then it was fit into a known format
can you be more specific in how letting qualified doctors and engineers from other countries (doesn't even have to be third world, a lot of british doctors would move here given their starting salary of 30k) will turn us into a third world country?

also, the wage argument doesn't make sense because rural doctors earn more than urban doctors due to the low desirability of the location, and despite med schools specifically selecting for students who are willing to become rural doctors, they still cannot find enough doctors to fill those spots.
(https://medrecruit.medworld.com/articles/how-much-do-rural-d...)

its also concerning that the reason you decided to oppose immigration was not for a tangible reason, but because wall street supports it. seems like contrarianism run amok. did you become a communist because wall street supports capitalism?
TBH If there's no meaningful salary bump, location adjusted aside, I'd say they're trying to lowball you.
I guess I don't understand what you are saying.
anti social humans and animals exits, but the behavior comes at a cost.

It seems like you were saying that it is impossible to ignore social hierarchy and status, which simply isn't true.

>can you get a minimum wage job and completely ignore everyone and still survive? Maybe. Is that living?

By definition, yes, living is living. There are lots of assholes in this world, and they don't drop dead from ignoring social hierarchy.

>Someone has to already be high status, or somehow independently wealthy, to even have the opportunity to ignore others. This ability to ignore others is an indicator of already being high status

By your definition, the bum yelling at people on the street must be high status. Terrorists and criminals must also have high status, because they too chose to ignore social power structures. These are extreme examples obviously.

To read these comments, you think it would be impossible to go through life ignoring social status when in fact it's commonly done. You can make it pretty far in life by simply treating people with human decency, but not granting special defference to people with social power. Ignoring social hierarchy doesn't mean you have to punch your boss or a police officer in the face, it means treating them like you would any other person
I mean, at the extreme like this: you're gonna die sometime. You don't have control after that. You could try to set up a trust etc etc etc but... on a long enough timeline, everything's gonna change control.

But in practice, almost everyone with these databases with significant amount of data is working for an entity with shareholders and creditors. It's much harder to stay in control forever in that world, especially if your company is not perpetually successful. Companies decline or fold all the time. Then they get sold off.
>You are not a very desirable user for a company to attempt to sell ads to.

hence why a website that is not attempting to sell ads to me but has a sound monetization scheme is appealing. Not that I mind a site that uses ads (I have adblock but I wouldn't mind subscribing to something of value to get rid of ads), but one trying to rely on "non-desirable monetization" may have less memes in such a community.

I can certainly be wrong, but again: it's an interesting experiment I wouldn't mind trying out.
Ok, multiply that by 5, it’s still nowhere near 2.5.
Just because something goes out of stock doesn’t mean the price will shoot up. There has to be enough demand for it. If there are alternatives (which there are), then the demand won’t increase with shortened supply, it’ll actually decrease at the same rate (or more, if the reputation of ‘hard to acquire’ sticks).
You have to wonder if Reddit's profit model is based on selling advertising or selling the ability to control information distribution. The really poor search capability points to the latter being a big issue. If you can just write a good search query that retrieves relevant comments from posts, as well as the posts, then you can bypass the moderators and administrators, who tend to want to control the visibility of content according to their own agenda.

Closing down the API would align with the latter agenda; look up the whole pushshift camas saga for example:

Vocal fry at end of sentences now part of U.S. speech
"A curious vocal pattern has crept into the speech of young adult women who speak American English: low, creaky vibrations, also called vocal fry.
College-age women end sentences in the lowest vocal register, a creaky vibration called vocal fry, possibly to broadcast themselves as part of a social group."
For those of us outside of the US, this seems crazy! Tipping 25+% adds such a lot to the final bill.

In Spain, we just leave a couple of Euros, maybe more if service was exceptional. There simply isn't the same pressure for diners to tip, as all waiting staff earn a living wage.

Tips here are simply an incentive/reward for good service, rather than absolutely expected in order to supplement the wages of underpaid staff.

This sort of stuff tends to be against the terms of service – it is with Twitter at least and Reddit are following their playbook here.

This would have the same effect though, almost no one would use it, and that kills the business case for Apollo, and Apollo ceases to exist. Maybe an open source volunteer run client might limp on, but that's it.

For additional evil comedic value, regarding your mention of ZLib: I just recalled it was taken down (for a while anyway) by US authorities not too long ago, and it would be extremely sadfunny if that takedown ever turns out to have coincided (taking into account government/bureaucratic slowness) with OpenAI having finished downloading or processing all of the library's content.

There are many other apps affected by the API pricing which announced they'd shut down: Sync, Relay, Reddit is Fun, etc. Reddit cutting one (or five) sweetheart deals is unlikely to make this go away at this point, since the uproar is about the API pricing and its rollout.
> Something in the culture changed 4-5 years ago where being a mod went from a job where you remove spam posts, to a role where you decide what is allowed for discussion.

> On my city subreddit, for instance, they’ve gotten it to the point where practically anything which isn’t a photo of a sunset is seen as off topic and removed.

Yep, this is what needs fixing. My local city subreddit decided there was too much news in the city about crime and banned posting stories about crime in January. It's now June and still a rule. You can only post a story about someone committing a crime or getting arrested if their crime had a city-wide impact.

There was a story about teenagers shooting fireworks off on a public bus around Victoria day this year and that post was allowed. People shat on the teenagers and said whatever they wanted about them. It got as nasty as you'd expect. The post announcing their arrest though? It turned out to be a group of POC and so the mods locked the comments within minutes because they anticipated "bad" comments and it was going to be too difficult to moderate.

The other annoying thing before that was a small group of powerusers getting annoyed with people asking too many easy-to-Google questions. So a few choice posters would always come in and make the same "I recommend House of Lancaster" (a strip club with a reputation) for every question that got asked. It didn't matter what the question was, there was at least 1 house of Lancaster suggestion. It turned into a meme, the moderators noticed people were hostile to newcomers, and rather than outlawing being hostile to people they banned questions!

It’s _extremely_ annoying.
