That one didn't. The bug wasn't actually in the kernel, it was in the klibc / klibc-utils.

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=852480 was the ultimate bug/patch that came out of it, Canonical were a vendor for us, and helped do the investigation, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/klibc/+bug/1652348.

The dhcp client in the klibc-utils had a bug in how it handled multiple interfaces, in that it didn't create separate sockets per interface, as it enumerated through them it would clobber the previous one. It validated the destination of the received DHCP response, and silently dropped it if it wasn't for the interface the socket was for.

The DHCP server was only listening on one of the two interfaces, and so if that interface got enumerated second, all was well and good. The socket was for it, response would be accepted. When it came up first, the clobbered socket meant the dhcp response would be ignored.

I bisected so many times and mostly just got confused. The engineer at Canonical dug in and found the actual bug.
Katherine Maher? The US State Department definitely-not-a-spook one? The one that was at Wikipedia and "spent time in Syria and Lybia"?

Sounds wonderful for a messaging system that is going to be definitely trusted not to be manipulated by the USA.
The "attention" mechanism (a bit of a misnomer really) is what makes transformers more complex than many other neural nets - data isn't simply flowing through the model from layer to layer, but rather it is being copied and moved around by the attention heads. The "next word" it is generating doesn't even have to be a word it has ever seen before - it may be copying it from the prompt.
Reddit successfully centralised forums and made it convenient because you didn't need 20+ logins. The other half is link sharing/doom scrolling (the addictive stuff), which replaced Digg, Stumbleupon, etc.

In the not-so-distant past if you wanted expert help and non-astroturfed suggestions (or even just memes), that's where you went. Those places still exist for a lot of fields and the experts still hang out (and often are better than Reddit), but you still have the problem of finding them and managing identities across boards. In many cases the moderation is superior. Reddit now suffers from the problem where it's so big that people can run very subtle advertising campaigns to push products. It's still much better than blogspam, but you can still only really trust the negative/critical reviews.

I’m confused about your example; who is closed-minded and who is open-minded? (Serious question)

I otherwise disagree with the dichotomy in the first paragraph. It seems to me that one might be open-minded and contributory.

On the topic of “opining vs. voting”: what’s the difference? Additionally, couldn’t the retail employee go vote and have the same sort of measurable external impact?

I guess I’ll attempt to answer the question in the comment: all else being equal, an open-minded person is more valuable to society than a closed-minded one.
And she has a hell of a pinball collection to boot. According to a 2019 article in NYT, "she has a collection of more than 70 pinball machines".
I'm with you on this. We eat synthetic goop, we rub synthetic goop all over our bodies, we breath the byproducts of making synthetic goop. Almost everything we interact with is toxic.
> There's also the fact that the graphics don't "pop" above the pad like they show in all their promotional material (though I know enough to have not expected it, it's still disappointing to see them make those misrepresentations)

This was a tough call. Originally we shot 100% of the CastAR video through the glasses and it worked great, but didn't really explain the 3D "pop". So in our second pitch video we sometimes allowed a small amount of synthetic image beyond the edge of the display which gave people a better clue as to the 3D nature of the image, but also for some people did overpromise. Because of that I always look for this in T5 videos and in general I think they don't drift any or only a little, but it's not like I have seen them all. Also note that the T5 board can tilt up at the end (don't know if this is released) so you actually can look above the tabletop and see things, though again, I don't know if this has been demoed in any videos (I'm sure it's been demoed at some conferences).

Deciding to compose the image rather than shoot through the glasses can also be misleading, but for various technical reasons shooting through the glasses is also negatively misleading because the camera and the eye don't work the same (among other things the image is brighter in your eye). There's no perfect answer, but I think Jer and the rest of the team do want to get this right.

At the end of the day it's an arcade and tabletop game system, not a AAA gaming rig, and doesn't try to be the latter. Perhaps they should make that more clear. I actually plan to use it in my current work for looking at CFD* video as a group (each of us with a headset) because we can walk around the table, lean in, and point things out to each other.

I also like to put the game board on the wall BTW!

I think the industry is diverging.

- There's very high-level engineering occurring ('computer science'). I always assumed this would be at places with 'web-scale' problems, but I've been seeing amazing work in local (not-web-scale) product companies here in Australia.

- On the other hand, I think a lot of other development work is not much above building flat-pack furniture. I guess this is where lo/no-code solutions will thrive

The important thing is to recognise which is being done, and which practices apply each case.
Honestly, email lists are better than Discord in a lot of ways. There are standard ways to make them indexable via Google, you can use whatever app you want to, threads are a first class feature most people use, and since it's so open filtering can be very powerful. Bots are also extremely easy to write since basically every programming language has the ability to send email (and usually also to receive it via at least one email server protocol which isn't controlled by the distribution list, but by the bot writer).
The timing of the changes was another major factor. Most of the app developers I’ve seen comment were more than happy to pay for API access (assuming Reddit set a good faith price point), but 30 days is not enough time to make that transition.
It shouldn't matter what exactly you're doing, if at age 30 you didn't find any new things to truly enjoy since you were 15, you probably didn't grow up. These tentative new things typically require sacrifice, as cheap pleasure is just that - cheap.
For what I know it already does. I know people considering migrating some infrastructure to the cloud and if they're not already aware of Google's reliability I'll tell them.
Backend developer -> Product Manager . Experience was smooth. I have always worked with startups as PM . I get to code a few things for ad-hoc reports etc.

I learnt to deal with sales types and ensure that my engineers don't get crushed with conflicting priorities (my main job actually).
I understand (note: I don't necessarily agree) with Reddit's decision to alter its API amidst the AI renaissance of 2023. OpenAI and their ilk recognized the value of this dataset for training, regrettably for Reddit, before Reddit itself did. Now, it's Spring 2023, the data horse has bolted, and Huffman is looking for dollars to wipe the egg off of his face.

Though Huffman should have foreseen such a turn of events, we all collectively erred in the same way when we surrendered our social graphs to Facebook in the 2000s. Furthermore, Facebook committed a blunder similar to Reddit's, allowing Twitter to establish their social graph before Zuckerberg secured that data.

To the disadvantage of thousands of communities, millions of users, and even the Reddit corporation itself, capitalist forces are pushing Reddit's leadership to recoup every possible cent of opportunity cost.

But they don't fly exclusively over North America. Where did your get that idea? Pill shaped UFOs have been talked about for a long time. Where did you get the idea they haven't?

There are high resolution videos and photos but they are mislabeled because people are rather unimaginative and changing is hard.
How would the ability to install alternate app stores hurt you?

Android allows this, and while there's other parts of Android that are weaker than iOS, it's hard to think of ways in which this specific feature is problematic to the user experience.
Also, no support at all for Mac OS or iOS seems like a deal killer at the price point.

Maybe it’s just the circles I run with, but I think it would actually be pretty unlikely to select a group of (say) three friends chosen at random and have each of them have use daily a Windows laptop or an Android device.

For instance I have my gaming desktop and work laptop (both Windows), but I doubt I can install the software on the laptop and I’m not running a cable from the desktop. And for me, 100% of family members and 90% of friends, no joy on the android device front.
UML was a good idea, but at some point it became this ever-expanding attempt to model every business process and left software far behind.
Tesla’s Magic Has Been Reduced to Its Chargers
There's really no reason for them to be honest about this sort of thing and I've seen plenty of shady shit from moderation here to make me distrust them.

Which isn't me asking for an explanation/stance. However trustworthy you find the moderation to be here, any explanation they give is inherently biased towards an obvious desire to remain employed.

From my perspective - this is a forum/social media site that is popular and _not_ infested with ads. It seems obvious to me that what they do gain is influence with a certain group of people (investors) and as a filter/brain-drain/funnel for entrepreneurs.

Can’t you develop and install anything your heart desires on your own iPhone if you join the Dev Program?

Obviously this doesn’t let you distribute and sell content on Apple’s store. But that’s above and beyond having the ability to run what you want on your own device.
It’s a corporation. It is never about community. Only ever profit. The manufactured fracture of us vs them is a tactic of distraction.
As for your argument, we solve the "government regulation leading to Facebook sucking up your data" problem (if we hypothesize about a future where the user's right to control is enforced through law) with more government regulation (good privacy laws and strict enforcement), not by relying on another private company whose's objectives may change at any time.
That is a very white understanding of what abuse means.

Also, it seems wild to me that you think a small company means you somehow have less ability to supervise your employees. What's your plan if you hire a racist who wasn't dumb enough to post openly? Just let him go to it?
It’s ok, OP’s queue probably has your missing messages hahaha.
Sounds like a MLM tbh but I get it.

Networks are valuable

Anyone familiar with any? I know he said not to solicit in groups but I’m into entrepreneurship tech would love to know any groups especially bootstrapping ( and all the marketing sales associated).
This was my intuition as well. The several-hundred year old populations haven’t become brown bears yet (not sure if they’re present in that eco system), but it seems likely that this would be inevitable on a long enough time scale. Having said that, I should also point out that I don’t know anything about any of this.
Many people using scroll sites are addicted and do it compulsively.

It does not mean they are “terminally online” or dysfunctionally addicted, but they are addicted and relatively unable to drop scrolling regularly as a habit.

Also, mods are volunteers and it’s completely normal for volunteers to be dismissed. There are no laws that grant them any entitlements from, claims to, or ownership of Reddit.

Reddit won’t become a shell of itself if mod dismissal and replacement happens. Most of the users don’t know the moderators nor do they care. A vocal minority will be upset and very loud for two weeks and then continue using the site as normal.

There is some value in not rocking the boat and keeping existing mods, but Reddit can easily survive replacing them.

This does not mean that I champion, condone, or endorse how Reddit has been acting. But I’m just stating that these platforms don’t fail as quickly as some people claim they would.

Groups of vocal users have been abandoning Facebook for years, and it’s still tremendously popular. Reddit is similar. A critical mass of users carries a lot of momentum.

No I am happy. Yes, he was a puritan. And what else, a benevolent dictator, who did things without taking absolutely ZERO user feedback? Yes, that definitely was the case. Yes, we are yet to see how it pans out, but it’s pointless to have a Signal that is used by so few people that it barely matters. I hope that chages.

I mean Signal is worse than Mastodon in adoption as of today and it had so so many opportunities wasted on things that were never needed (in fact those efforts should have been categorically avoided) and a lot effort was also wasted on not doing things that should have been done. Hope that changes as well with his departure. Or I’ll rather see Signal put out of its misery in a kind and quick way.

How did she get a list in advance?

I was thinking about this yesterday and in other threads people are writing about similar systems. The key thing for me and the word that keeps getting written is "RSS", I want a powerful client to experience different content in different ways. There are many communities and content creators that I want to follow but it's too complicated with modern platforms. From a usability standpoint it's bad both for creators and for end users, the result of this is that you miss out on some important stuff.

For example I might not have time to watch Twitch streams or Youtube videos from a creator over a couple months but I would still be able to go to a weekend event in my city or buy some some new merch that he announced. In general I would need to use another platform to not miss out (Twitter, Instagram).

If I controlled a client capable of aggregating all types of content I could decide to filter things out according to my immediate needs.

Content creators would own their own platform or choose a generic service provider and have freedom about what to make (video, image or text posts) and how to monetize.

The problems are who pays who, content discovery, and a decently sized userbase.
I believe it's a lot easier to state this long after the migration took place. Removing the GIL, or any host of other changes, could have split the community to a place where the language would have been abandoned except amongst a small minority.

At this point, removing the GIL is such a large change, it would probably be better to wait for the end of (practical) performance to single-threaded code, and then remove the GIL. At that point you would have a community consensus behind the change, and the holdouts wouldn't have a stranglehold on keeping the community from moving forward.

I'm not sure if I would call the move from 2 -> 3 a trivial change, but maybe you're more well versed in Python than I am (and I'm fully willing to admit that may be the case).

That's an amazing point.

What we have under "capitalism" is essentially the Soviet wet dream: being able to force workers into work, "willingly", and they work so hard they piss into bottles to stay on target.

We've got all the repression right now, just for a slice of the population that everyone considers effectively disposable.

Woah.
To me, operating a motorcycle requires 3x the effort of a car. In the case of a sport bike, multiply again by 2, and triple if you have a passenger. Along with motorcycles being more weather dependent, I would not travel as many kilometers. Having driven a car for 10 years, then motorcycle exclusively for the past 3, I much prefer a motorcycle over a car.

Get rid of the Windows key, and give me a ctrl and alt key on the right side. And some way to do "right-click"; usually S-F10 works, but I'm not sure those keys at the top are "fucntion keys".

To me it seems like it would be a major hassle to code without both of the ctrl and alt keys, but maybe the keyboard is so small it's not a factor anyway?
Global inequality at lowest level in nearly 150 years
>We formed connections and communities and friendships on sites like Facebook and Twitter and Reddit, but those companies need to make money, so those connections are only allowed to exist as long as they are part of a profitable system.

I would absolutely take profit-driven moderation over the petty tyranny of your stereotypical reddit mod. These mods are not heroically channeling some sort of vox populi.
> There’s a strong echo here of mobile 20 years ago. From the late 1990s to 2007, we had mobile internet devices that were OK but not great, and slowly improving, we knew they would eventually be much better, and we thought ‘mobile internet’ would be big - but we didn’t know that smartphones would replace PCs as the centre of tech, and connect five billion people. Then the iPhone came, and the timeline broke.

While I think the statement here is generally accurate, the analogy feels so off the mark here to be downright misleading.

The pre-iPhone cellphone and "mobile internet device" era was totally different than the current VR/AR era. Most importantly, people actually used their devices all the time, they just wanted them to be better. There was a reason they called them "Crackberries" - Blackberry fans were on them 24/7, and they got tons of utility from them. There was none of this "If we build it, I hope they'll come" feeling of the current VR/AR era.

Honestly, it saddens me to think that technology used to be about solving problems for humanity and has morphed into more of this "What substances can we sell to the masses that are sufficiently addictive to make our stock price go up?"

I fully understand how much Meta, Apple and others "want to make fetch happen". Many of us are simply just not interested.
Thanks for the explanations. Admittedly, my introduction to the term “zoonotic” was from playing Plague Inc: Evolved (if one is not familiar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plague_Inc:_Evolved) so you might see where I’m coming from. I do roughly understand this to be the meaning.
Well, it's a 12-month development schedule. This pitch was dated 1994. Diablo was released in 1997... doesn't seem too bad.

If Reddit could afford to do their own moderation, they would.
Honestly, if you think this is in any way a reasonable response to the layers of commentary above elaborating on why this isn't a zero-sum game and doesn't have to take anything from you, maybe someone should take your iPhone.
Really interesting post, thank you. I looked at the linked page, and had a really hard time figuring out what this, well, is, or how it’s supposed to work. It sounds to me like some of my naive initial reservations are impediments to actual use.

Also, I was shocked at the pricing. This is 2-3x what I would have expected. Not saying it isn’t worth it, but even as someone very much inclined to waste money on shiny electronics, the value proposition here seems extremely questionable.
I was asked to read Harel's paper as part of my thesis, I personally think this stuff is wonderful and foundational to computer science and computer engineering, researching issues like concurrency and system complexity. But I can see how industry programmers would find little direct use for it.
> I had a look at saferbot, but it doesn't seem like a good solution. In all the examples given the problematic subreddit was eventually banned by reddit. It just never makes sense to ban people for posting on a subreddit, because they could be disagreeing with it. The only time things like that are useful is if you ban all the people who like a post, but reddit doesn't give that capability.

If your subreddit is being brigaded, then eventual bans don't help. It took years for r/The_Donald to be banned and over a year for r/NoNewNormal to be banned; meanwhile their users were trolling and brigading all over Reddit.

> It sounds like that trans sub just needs to farm out some of the moderator tasks rather than one person doing it all. If they have that many subscribers then they presumably have a lot of people who can help moderate.

They have 393k users, but how many are both interested and suitable for moderating? It's not easy to find good people, especially on a sub like that where mods are regularly harassed. Here's a concrete example (https://www.reddit.com/r/ModSupport/comments/14a5lz5/mod_cod...).
I clarified that I meant just infrastructure costs, and posted the source.

Even so - what's $4.50 per user per year - 40 minutes of minimum wage work? 45 seconds of a lawyer's time?

For sending, and processing, and receiving GBs and GBs of video?

For (not even) this cost, we give up control of political narratives? We let people like Huffman and Musk and Zuckerberg control what we get to see?

They take money from tinpot dictators and a selection box of wealthy grifters. We let our parents and grandparents get taken advantage of by every scam artist on the planet with a few dollars. Why? To save $4.50 a year?
