...Until they have an exit, and they can only have this because they took funding, which is my point.

I remember MailChimp not taking any funding for over 20 years and being completely bootstrapped, innovating and useful until they eventually got acquired and not shutdown.

Also the same for Postmark.

Both are profitable and were bootstrapped for years.

Sometimes it all ends the same way, the question is how long for Resend. Since they've taken funding as it is highly likely they are heading for an exit in under 10 years.

> I don’t understand what the US gains by pushing this theory.

The US isn’t pushing this theory.

> Why are US Intelligence services promoting this theory?

They aren’t. Unidentified sources of unknown affiliation cited in German media are claiming that US learned about a Ukrainian plot from Dutch intelligence and told Ukraine not to do it.

You are confusing the subject of the story with its source.

I suspect that rsecora was going for humorous parallelism rather than meaning any dig at the linked project.
You're missing out, because you should be using it to make beans. As a bean cooker, it turns a annoying multi-hour job into from dry to beautifully cooked in an hour. As a rice cooker, you should just use a rice cooker, they're like 1/3 the price and you can run it at the same time as the bean cooker.
The other thing is they don't have anything in place to support paying 3rd party developers. They don't have appropriate dashboards, they still don't provide complete APIs, they're making it more restrictive.

If they're truly trying to run a paid API service then they have to actually support those customers (the apps) and they really weren't prepared to do that.

Ah, understand now.

If we’re querying review bias it becomes inherently subjective so probably not much point in discussing it beyond that even if I disagree.

I’m unsure of anyone producing games of a quality and polish level that rivals Nintendo, but that’s subjective too.
So that's an excuse to make things even more inconsistent?

I get your point, though; I'm a Linux desktop user, and have to contend with apps written using a variety of UI framework. For that reason, I tend to try to stick with GTK apps, as I prefer consistency. I have Qt set up to use/emulate GTK's theming as close as possible. No, it's not perfect, but most things on my desktop look pretty consistent.

Except webapps, of course! They break everything when it comes to consistency. I wish that wasn't the case.
Let's do some back-of-the-napkin math. Selig estimates that the average user would cost him $2.50/mo and his annual costs would be $20m/yr, so it seems like Apollo has 600–700k monthly active users — something like 0.16% of all 430m active Reddit users. That is simply not going to represent a significant opportunity cost to Reddit's overall ad revenue.

Plus, I'd bet that third-party app users are far more likely to be mods and/or heavy content creators, which means that alienating them will have outsized negative effects on the engagement of the rest of the userbase.
Be careful, some of the questions you ask are leading. This can be quite difficult because you can't give it any information. Think about if you were to program this, how you would ask it to automate and find a stopping criteria without hinting to it anything. The way I did it uses the same response because you could at least grab the output and compare (easier said than done). It is really easy to hint to it information. "why would that be the same? show your work" Hints at an error. If someone asked you that while solving a math problem would you think you made a mistake? Granted my question also hints as a mistake, but through repetition a reasoning entity would figure out I'm going to continually ask that and to stop second guessing itself.

I definitely believe some people think like that about their GameStop investment, but I am confident that the majority (/vocal minority) of /r/superstonk members honestly believe that GameStop is a good company that’s turning around, and that part of being invested is believing in the company.

A sibling comment of yours summarized it best - I just understand their vision as an amalgamation of growing the online store considerably, replacing Steam, selling NFTs that in some way relate to in game functionality, and making GameStop stores “community centers” or smtn. All of this is backed up by mantras like “debt-free”, “based Ryan Cohen”, “warehouses full of product”, “corporate vision” etc etc etc.

I really despise finance so I have very little to criticize you on there, and wish you the best, but from your reasonable tone I’m assuming you’re doing this as a considered risk, not going all-in with 100% confidence that a short squeeze is coming any day now.

I oscillate between enjoying that whole part of the internet because it’s fun and interesting, and thinking of all the children who have their college savings tied up in the stock of a clearly dead-in-the-water legacy retailer :(

I recently came across Michael Hastings, whom I hadn't heard of before (living in Europe), but alas he passed away quite early. This sort of journalism seems to be a rare thing, but also not dead by a long shot.

Ok, this made me look into why not the Dewey.

It seems too hard to memorize the numbers for first time placement.

So let's make a program that asks us when moving it into our collections?

`dewey <file to organize>`

Will then lead you down a tree of decisions. Insta-organized. It's so good I just might try it.

(The file will move to wherever your organized files are specified in your .config/dewey.conf)

On Windows this could be a right-click -> Dewey, where it then pops up a small window to pick the categorization.

> Nope, Reddit currently has a bunch of their subreddits private. And if the Apollo dev gets paid, then he can come up with something to make the blackout go away.

Can you explain what that could be? How can this one developer control the moderators and users of thousands of subreddits?

Could it be that people are choosing to support the Apollo dev, and Reddit has all the power to stop the blackout... by giving the people what they want?
I know basically nothing about this, but hear money peeps talking about it all the time like it is common practice. Some version of it happened to the B&M store Clarie's.
This is business. This is how it works. This a very similar situation as cable providers pulling networks and sending messages to users about how the networks are being unreasonable. The problem is Apollo is tied to one network.

Spez calling a kid’s awkward business negotiation a blackmail tactic, and appearing visibly threatened and agitated, immediately removed any credibility or respect I will ever hold for him or the Reddit executive team. His behavior made him look small and weak.

I am indifferent about their attempt to monetize, for what it’s worth. It’s inevitable, and third party clients won’t survive. I am more shocked at how it’s being handled.

> Do you consider a blind person having less sentience than a person that can see because they lack the sense of sight?

They still interact with an external world. An LLM doesn't, at all, not even a little bit. That's the crucial difference. A person will know when things didn't go as predicted, as the real world will provide feedback they can sense. An LLM in contrast has no idea what is going on, its past actions don't exist for it. There is only the prompt and the unchanging base model.

That said, this is not to disparage the abilities of LLMs, they simply were never designed to be sentient. If one wants an LLM that is sentient, one has to build some feedback into the system that allows it to change and evolve depending on its past actions.
Lol I appreciate the check-in, very much what I expected.
Okay. fine. It's Lgpl. But the prohibitions are the same. If you, as a corporate entity, want to make and distribute changes to the viewer AND NOT BE REQUIRED TO PUBLISH THE CHANGES, then you have to purchase a commercial license.

The deal with (L)GPL is if you make and distribute software based on (L)GPL licensed source code with changes you have made, you are required by the terms of the license to publicly release those changes you have made.

And now lets say you work for a very large corporation, let's call it VOZ. And let's say you have some super-secret things you want to embed in the viewer, including names and ip addresses of custom grids and a few secret keys because your SSO is based on a prototype of DES-ticket Kerberos from the 1960s. Or maybe much of VOZ's business is based on software patents, and you want to use code based on these patents in the changes you make.

If you accept the license and download the viewer code and make the changes, compile it and distribute it to other VOZ, Inc. employees and partners you have changed the original code with respect to the (L)GPL license. You are obligated to publicly release those changes. And releasing the derivative work under the (L)GPL may invalidate some software patent protections you think you have. So you have a choice between a) not distributing the modified viewer and b) distributing it in violation of the terms of the license. (see terms 4 and 10 of the LGPL license referenced above.)

But there's a third option. You can purchase a commercial license to the code. Even though the code is also licensed under the GPL, the owner of the copyright is free to license the code using whichever license they see fit. The copyright holder can make the code generally available under a (L)GPL license, but also make it available it to other parties under a less restrictive commercial license where using the code does not obligate you to publish your changes or imply you are abandoning interest in your software patents.

And this is why I largely use a BSD license. Generally speaking, I'm not looking to force people who use my code to make a statement about software patents, either pro or con. If the code is useful to them, great! I don't want to force them to release their changes if they don't want to. If they want to maintain a separate fork, even a private fork, more power to them.
Twitter and TikTok are pretty pleasant to use for me. Just AdBlock and move on.
I do something similar. Where is always seems to fall apart is with things I collaborate on with others. Sometimes, joint projects get their own home (i.e., they become an organization, or at least get their own public repository of some sort). So in addition to "inbox" "media" and "private" (my version of "vault") I've also got a "shared" category.

It's still not perfect, because ultimately the subcategories of "shared" need to actually be accessible, or mirrored, or it's not actually true. And sometimes, a project goes into "shared" aspirationally, even if I have no collaborators yet, as a subtle reminder that I might share it someday, so I don't want to put anything in that folder that I'm not comfortable being public or semi-public.
Found the killer app.

Still - one can hope I guess.
Completely agree. The politicians should be tweeking the laws so these sectors become more attractive for investment but alas all they care about is the next election and aggravating homeowners /voters.
This. I don't think people lower their thresholds for applying critical thinking / fact checking just because it is an LLM's answer.

If someone blindly trusts and uses an LLM without checking for more evidence, then they would've done the same with any other source, be it Google, the newspaper or whatever.
>So then the liberal democracies were against the US when we invaded iraq?

They were.

No one in any of those countries is occupied today, and all are liberal democracies.

Saudi Arabia is just as bad as Iran.
I hope we see ebikes become a valid option in more places. There's alas many places where there's poor/no shoulder or it's just otherwise be way to unsafe. But it's soo nice having such an unencumbered light way to get around.

Hopefully the antiquated must take rules for variable renewables will be replaced with must take rules for non-fossile deterministic power generation.
Yes, that is exactly my point, which is why I added that important detail! I saw that it behaved in a way that made it clear that it was better if I let the box hit my car than to slam on the brakes or steer out of the way.

I am not talking about any specific case. The difficulty is precisely in creating an autonomous system that is capable of making such embodied decisions. I learned to recognize how a lightweight object behaves with a lifetime of experience. The type of sensory input does not matter for this and if we are trying to train a system that is capable of this kind of deeper modeling of the world it is traveling through then the focus needs to be on building and training of such a system.

Fluttering boxes is just one of an infinite number of such embodied decisions I am able to make as a human living on the planet earth!
Landmark ‘kids’ climate trial begins: how science will take the stand
If all that ends up being blocked are consoles and games, there are plenty of substitutes - in some cases near perfect substitutes.
In a sense LLM's are a Rorschach test for people's beliefs about consciousness. If you believe consciousness to be an emergent phenomenon derived from simple deterministic biological processes, then it is not a big leap to believe LLM's to be on a roadmap to consciousness. If you instead believe consciousness is a supernatural phenomenon, then you will discard the very idea of a computer having a consciousness, because a machine could never be imbued with one by mere algorithms.

Tell me what your view is on the ability of LLM's to become AGI, and I'll tell you whether you believe in an immortal soul.

Skunk Woorks (Lockheed Martin) – Kelly’s 14 rules [pdf]
You seem to think that, having mastered what the law IS, you're also an authority on what it should be.

Wrong. The people who live under the law are equally well qualified to judge that.
It's a cool write up, but why is this site promoting Triplebyte? Lol what?
This is the poor sort of experience that leads to arbitrary rules without understanding.

It is always about the comprehension of the end, not the form.

These don't always burn everyone. Sometimes these are the right thing. They may not be the right thing at your shop, but the world of software is not just your little software.

Long method names can lead to better, more readable testing and code. They can also be easier to mistype or be harder for non-native English speakers.

Combining routing and logic can be very fast and easy, but can lead to hard to debug issues with sprawling projects. But not all projects are sprawling.

If you think you are experienced and also buy deeply into any fixed rules, then the first claim is false.
TBH people are kinda ignoring the LLaMA license now, as Meta seems to be doing. I see some pseudo commercial (encouraging donations and such) and a few straight up commercial services using a LLaMA backend.

llama.cpp specifically has Falcon on their roadmap, and some other quantized implementations already work with it. But the transition will be slow.
Sure, if you write everything in one file, but that's why componentization exists in React.
What does one do with unallocated credits? Would they be banked for future votes or lost?

In the case of social media, how are credits even allocated? If a simple daily model, that already feels bad. See something great in the morning, don't vote for it! You might see something better in the evening. Should be able to dip into negatives somehow for urgent, high importance matters.
> Disclaimer : my career has mainly been on compiler/runtime and other infrastructure related stuff, so not much of a business logic/web dev kind of guy.

That probably explain your surprise. This question comes up extremely often on HN, the answer is that even if you were to stop all feature development, re-platforming a large organization like Shopify would take years, not even considering all the re-training, lost knowledge etc.

And you'd spend these years having to support multiple platforms so that would only pay off much later, and in the meantime your competitors continue iterating.

In general it's best to stick with the devil you know, unless the new platform interoperate very well with the old one.
Agreed. And it’s actually 90% of the site offline at this point.

And many subreddits have said they’ll be private indefinitely, not just 2 days.
Too bad Reddit! No API means scraping at scale! That's fine with me too.
A lot of information has come out about the Quest 3 already.

Full color passthrough from cameras and a depth sensor (better than Quest Pro), 120Hz, slightly higher resolution than Quest 2, 40% smaller (whatever that means), Snapdragon XR2 Gen2 (they claim more than twice as fast as Quest 2), pancake lenses, controllers without the tracking rings, $500.

Compared to Apple's, the main downsides are lower resolution display (also not OLED), slower, no eye tracking.

Main advantages are price, support for games/controllers (you can still use hand tracking if you just want to watch movies), and no external battery pack.

Isn't this essentially impossible?
The argument goes like this:

There is probably a line. But you don't know where it is and neither do I. You and I might agree that X is to one side of that line, but if we ban that behavior, then we have initiated a process that we might call line-discovery -- the search for the line that X was to one side of -- and line-discovery is highly prone to outcomes that result in bans on content from the other side of that line. So we don't want to engage in line-discovery, even though there are obvious examples of things to one or the other side of the line.

You may think you can ban the obvious things without ultimately engaging in line-discovery, but, the argument goes, you are mistaken. You will ultimately find yourself doing line-discovery.

You start out with obvious-sounding prohibitions on racism and hate speech, but eventually you're arguing about, say, whether it's racist to report on polling showing that violent protests are unpopular. [0]

And that's because banning any speech always leads to line-discovery.

So it comes down to a question of which scenario is worse:

A. You ban obviously bad stuff while accepting some risk of banning things that aren't actually over the line.

B. You privilege all content to avoid that outcome.

Some people are outraged by this framing and think it's obvious that you would want to risk banning some behavior to the right side of the line if it means eliminating the most obnoxious speech. But, basically, that is not obvious to everyone, no matter how many times they are reminded that there is some really bad stuff out there. [1]

[1] Interestingly, this is really not so different from the argument about evidentiary standards for punishing criminal behavior, except in that case the politics are flipped. There conservatives would rather risk punishing some innocent people if it means the absolute worst actors are guaranteed harsh punishment, but liberals think it's worth risking some amount of literal rape and murder in order to prevent punishing the innocent. So I think, actually, both sides are entirely capable of seeing this from the other side; they just don't want to.
If anybody does create a “Reddit” clone, I think it should be federated.

All “subreddits” or communities are just phpBB or vBulletin forums of the past. Instead of “someinterestingtopic.com/forum” it’s now “Reddit.com/r/someinterestingtopic”

There’s some differences in organization but otherwise the same thing.
Reddit made the process for registering an application more complicated. In the comments of the AMA there were a number of developers who said that they contacted Reddit many times about API access, and never got a response. It's unlikely that they would engage thousands of users in a better way.
> You walk up to the counter and say "I've forgotten my ID and need to make this flight" and they type on their computer, hand you a slip of paper, and then you show that slip of paper to the TSA staffer at the podium checking IDs and they ask you some questions, and you're waved through.

This still requires you to identify yourself verbally to the TSA, and participate in a verbal interrogation. The legal pleadings referenced in the article claim that there's an option to not identify yourself and be subjected to "a search that is more exacting than the routine search" instead. That option does not exist in reality.

Also, if you try to follow the process you described, and tell them that you did not forget your ID, but deliberately chose not to bring it because you're not required to, they will deny you access to your flight.
Encountering a foreign culture, with foreign ways of thinking and behaving, can stretch and change you by forcing you to encounter assumptions and habits you didn't even know you had.
