That was entirely up to you. That was a decision you made and blamed on someone else. I feel like that is something important to consider with your first sentence.
> Is it overly dramatic to have HR dictate formally non-offensive speach? (I'm talking about non-derogatory and non-slur based language)

Your question is phrased in such a way that I honestly can't figure out how to answer it, but non-derogatory and non-slur based does not mean non-offensive and never has. As I previously mentioned people are plenty creative at hiding insults in "respectful" words.

I once worked on a team, in house at a company, where we were tasked with developing a prototype, in a scripting language with a well-known web framework.
Meanwhile another team at a consulting company, was tasked with developing the final product in java, all very enterprise.

The outside company ended up with a failed project, missing deadlines and going over budget multiple times. The prototype became the product.

That’s been the part of this blackout that has hurt the most, honestly. I’ve been on Reddit for longer than a decade and all but entirely shut out the front page subs like Videos, InterestingAF, etc. I wouldn’t miss those if they disappeared tomorrow.

Instead, I’m in far smaller niche and location-relevant subs. I didn’t realize what cutting off my city subreddit would do for my sense of connection to my city. I didn’t realize how shit general search results are for questions about hobbies.

It’s really made me question if can allow one entity to serve as such an important conduit to my interests again.
Johnny here. Correct: don’t use it to organise anything that smells like a software project.
The very first sentence of that executive summary actually lays it out nicely: The SEC is bound by the law that congress writes, including the laws around securities. Gensler can only make rules that are in alignment with the relevant laws. The Howey test and securities laws are actually pretty much out of his jurisdiction, and more importantly, his individual and personal opinion about whether or not BTC or ETH are securities literally doesn't matter.

This is just the reality of operating in a grey area. If you believe you are in compliance with the law, and the regulators disagree or otherwise are giving you a hard time, then the matter WILL be settled by the courts or congress. Importantly, if Gensler comes out tomorrow and says "No tokens are securities, trade anything you want, we won't go after anyone", that isn't binding, and it doesn't change the law, and the next head of the SEC is still free to take you to court for being in violation of the law.

I've gotta tell you - in 6-12 months nobody will even care anymore - and Reddit will still be used en masse like before.

Talking with regular non-techy people who use reddit regularly - nobody outside our bubble even knows about or cares about the whole API fiasco. Most people I've talked with shrug and say they'll just use the official app if that's what it all means. The others asked if they can just pay and use the same 3rd party app in the future.

Reddit has been, and is filled with drama. These public news pieces make the community appear extremely naïve, to a fault. When people hear some of these apps had tens, or hundreds of thousands of users that circumvented ad revenue for reddit - they mostly do not have sympathy for the 3rd party app developers.

Just being realistic. I like reddit as much as the next guy, and agree the leadership is terrible (reddit has a long history of terrible leadership).
Well that means bots can take anything down unless you become really good at detecting bots. Not like it's hard for bots to get points you can do so with reposting and GPT for comments.

Ask HN: PinePhone Pro and PineBuds Pro Working?
HN community, my gut tells me that the answer I'm looking for is among us. I know I could go elsewhere but allow me to ask:

Does anyone have both a Pinephone Pro and the PineBuds Pro, and have them actually working together? If so, what combination of earbud firmware and smartphone OS are you using? I can't get them to work together with either Mobian or Manjaro Phosh with stock PineBuds firmware.
I read The Road a couple of months after my first kid was born. I don't think I ever really mentally recovered.

Sure, they’d get plenty or people who would want to get moderator rights. How many of those would actually put in the hours ? And how would you know before you hand over the sub?

Not only that, it would create a revolt among the moderators who were still left so you’d have to do this for all subs at once. Tens of thousands of people.

It would be an absolute disaster for Reddit.
Marlon Brando would have been amazing as the Judge.
I also added reddit to my ublock filters. Amazing how I never realized how often I go on autopilot and type reddit.com/r/whateversubreddit. If anyone else wants to do it, just add ||reddit.com^$all to your filters in ublock origin.
Sure. But I'd argue that's an overly narrow view of trying to live life: living life is about being present in shared experiences with your friends and loved ones, not status-focused consumption. Otherwise non-rich people would be doomed to misery, which isn't the case.

if an investor comes up with the same questions, spez should be gone as CEO:
- Have they just now realized that AI might pay millions of dollars after reddit was founded 18 years ago?
- Do they know that Reddit data has value because it is structured and rated and third-party tools help to do this?
- They know that even their annoying ads don’t make them profitable, but do they know that these ads reduce the chance that the user might produce new valuable data for all these AI millions of dollars?
They come in, reduce costs as much as possible, keep revenue coming in as long as they can while having huge dividends to said PE until they get so far into debt they are not sustainable. They'll swap to service providers that they either own or get a cut from and pay themselves.

Then their purchased company gets bankrupted, sells their assets to cover their debts (including said PE's 'debts' of services provided.)

They probably make 200-300% of their initial investment back by paying for the initial purchase with debt that is tacked onto the purchased organization and simply drain them dry. PE doesn't make a ton of money by being dumb, they make a ton of money using any and all tactics necessary to make big stacks in short time. Obviously not all PEs operate like this and there are likely many loopholes and strategies.

They bankrupt it by basically pumping it full of debt while taking money out and dumping it once it's out of money - zero liability with a LLC right?

Your view is a little simplistic. There is plenty of useful information on Reddit. I'm a big fan of home-related subs for example, where a lot of trade-knowledgeable people seem to hang out. There is a wealth of information on subs like r/DIY, r/HomeImprovement, r/paint, r/woodworking, etc.

> Although I do foresee Reddit “super mods” forcibly removing the blackout through their backend, removing mod status from the “rebels” and inserting their own friendly mods until they can find replacements.

I agree this is likely, which will extend the negative reactions further and alienate even more users. Unless Reddit execs do a 180 in the very near future I think the platform will be forever crippled.

Large networks rarely die overnight and whatever happens they will still have a number of users for the foreseeable future, but the steady fade to irrelevance will begin in earnest.

Power users drive a huge amount of content and moderation, and they are especially livid right now for good reason.
Removing the APIs, or gatekeeping them, will do absolutely nothing to prevent the publicly exposed data from being collected.

I mean if this is not a regression, then what. I could live with 192GB just as I lived with 12MB back in the day.
Now there might be some workloads which benefit from more RAM (like some concurent youtube sessions) but besides that, if i stay away from Teams, i think i can make it.
All in all, i can always use the excess RAM as a RAM drive.

From my experience, Claude+ is on par with GPT-4, 100k context model is amazing, but because they don't have a product exposed to the public, they don't have to burn billions of $ on things like ChatGPT.

Also there's a chance they might avoid some cases of direct regulation and local bans since they are under media radar.
It entirely encloses the ZX81 and the RAM pack. Which is an issue because when myself and my father originally fitted it (back in probably 1982) we threw away the original "doorstop" shell of the ZX81 designed by Rick Dickenson (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Dickinson).

Stable Diffusion works fine on rocm (and intel OpenVINO), the issue is out-of-the-box support in popular UIs.

TBH the whole space is kinda a mess. Tons of optimizations (like most ML compilers), even on Nvidia cards, are left on the table because the SD UI devs just dont have the throughout or motivation to implement them.

At the other end, hardware makers, ml compiler devs, researchers and such are making quick demos, but are not making any integration attempts for popular frameworks.

There is no one in the middle, so we are stuck with PyTorch eager mode and a perception that it only works on big Nvidia GPUs.
It doesn't work out for everybody. Lots of high quality communities outside of reddit have been invaded by people looking for an alternative and as a result they are now fighting massive traffic spikes, spam or the general reddit hive-mind taking over their discussion.

Well, keep in mind that from the perspective of the rest of the healthcare industry, private practices are kind of dinosaurs at this point. They don't play well in our modern system, and the last 50 years of healthcare legislation has done everything short of outright banning them.

New doctors are not trained or expected to run businesses. Getting money from medicare or insurance is a nightmare. Patients want access to more services than ever before. The entire idea of a private practice is anathema to modern ideas of healthcare oversight and access equity. Even getting private malpractice insurance is almost impossible now.

There is a reason almost nobody is starting private practices anymore. So to give the doctors a bit of credit this is a chance to slip quietly into the night.
I’m all for this but what’s to keep Reddit from manning the subreddits themselves??
For me a job is a job, my emotional attachment is limited. It can be awesome, but how the company changes is not in my power, if I don't own an substantial amount of equity.

Usually if a company fails, it happens in slow-motion. As an employee you can often spot that years before it makes the news. Just move on before it makes the news.
“Is” is a verb, so it should always be capitalized in title case.
Maybe I'm reading it in a biased manner, but that sure has the feel of "if we wait it out the pigs will get hungry and be back at the trough on Wednesday." I don't think they respect their users, he doesn't understand that's a big part of why people are getting so upset, and he just keeps talking. Lol.
They'd have to remove the moderators or they could just delete everything with automoderator (some subs already went read only or "long time members only" instead of private), and then if they remove them who will replace the moderators in the subreddits are doing things like running community competitions, themed topics, etc.

Stuff like r/aww and r/videos would probably survive if it was just the Reddit employees removing offensive stuff that gets upvoted high, but it will kill the long tail where the moderators are less garbage removers and more community organisers. Maybe just the generic mindless feed is enough for Reddit to be a successful business, but it's not what most people think of Reddit as, and it's not clear why such a rump reddit would be able to take users off of Tiktok etc.
> Assignment is just one tiny piece of learning how to program, and is almost never a pain point after a small amount of instruction.

The issue isn't assignment. You have also assignment even in the most pure FP languages.

The issue is mutation!

> Imperative programming is easier to learn because you simply write out the steps that you want the computer to take, and the computer takes them.

No, that's not easy given every step can change the whole world around and you need to track all the changes in your head.

That becomes very hard to follow even after only a few steps. (That's why imperative programs are always so buggy.)

FP code, which usually eschews mutation, is much simpler to follow as you can look at any "step" in isolation. No hidden "change the world" side-effects everywhere.

> FP requires much much more abstract thinking that is often difficult for newcomers to grasp.

No it doesn't. At least as long as you don't go nuts like e. g. Haskell.

At the core FP is basically the same trivial concept taught to children in elementary school: If you have some expression you can mechanically substitute following occurrences which the value assigned to that expression. That's all.

> The main exception that I see is when someone who has a very deep mathematics education.

Like every child that attended math classes for many years. In school people are trained for a very long time in exactly the way of reasoning you need to write FP code.

On the other hand you need to teach those people imperative programming form the ground up, including mayor mental shifts around all kinds of concepts they were taught previously. Only after this kind of brainwashing people start "to get" imperative programing…

> Almost everyone else seems to grasp imperative programming easier.

No. Quite the opposite.

https://cseducators.stackexchange.com/questions/342/what-mak...

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/778461/should-functional...

Just go out and talk to some programming instructors… Everybody will tell you the same.

Only people whos brains are already burned by imperative programming think it's easier. For everybody else it's the opposite. Which is perfectly logical as the FP way of thinking is what they practiced for many many years before, in math in school.
I was confused by that terminology at first, too, but it appears their product has an "offer" phase where the meeting organizer suggests multiple times, and a "book" phase in which the invitees accept the meeting and it's booked. Which doesn't necessarily mean that the meeting is attended, but it is a higher level of confirmation/buy-in from the invitees than what happens at my work (FANG) where organizers just throw meetings on everyone's calendar.
I don't think it's unreasonable anti-corporatism so much as it's a very rational cynicism about the psychological effect of marketing.

I came across his work far too late and am catching up, having only read The Road Blood Meridian, and No Country for Old Men so far. I've never read an author who can paint such a vivid picture in my mind with so few words. I wasn't much of a fiction reader prior to picking up his work, and it's certainly reignited a love of reading for me.

His books don't resonate with a good number of friends, and I can understand why. But for me it's a strange mix of dark and comforting, with words that make my neurons dance like they're listening to jazz.
I've been actively avoiding Reddit during this protest and I just signed up to a Lemmy instance. The UI isn't great but the communities are already pretty hopping. I need to subscribe to a few more things but it seems to handle the fix for now.

I'm never using Reddit's awful app -- it's just not how I like to use Reddit. I'm an old.reddit.com kind of person.
I think this question is far more interesting than the blackout drama. It seems Reddit hasn't made a cent of profit in 15 years. That's absurd even by SV standards.

Is it incompetence? Not a priority because the focus was always on growth? Or just difficult/impossible as nobody wants to pay for anything and block ads?

I don't know the answer, but the answer matters. Both in this strike and the Stackoverflow strike many people are dropping claims that the company only cares about money. Those claims make little sense to me when the companies is making a loss.

You could have very valid reasons to strike, but you're striking against a company in financial trouble, facing an existential AI threat, and an advertiser pullback.

I think fundamentalism is too brittle to persist like that over the long term.

Yes, the most conservative religions usually have a lot of kids, but over the generations, many of those kids will leave the religion, or at least join a less fundamentalist strain and have fewer kids. Unless the culture is kept strictly separate (increasingly impossible), the quality of life that the surrounding secular culture offers is too alluring. So standards are relaxed, women get educated and start working, have fewer kids. And it ripples down the generations. It hasn't happened yet in some of the less developed parts of the world, but as they get richer, it will. It always does.
