It's not clear to me the Reddit users will be permanently gone either, unless there's some place like Reddit taking in a lot more users right now.

But I haven't heard of any place like that so far. No real competitor for users to jump ship towards.
Most of the time you dont just expose your internal api routes to the world. You need to write curated public facing routes that dont include certain schema or records. Takes time to write and maintain that different set of endpoints
It's even worse for only the metric by which the efforts of a group should be indexed for the masses. But people use discord for group conversation and the goal is not the create content for consumption but to do the things the group does as a semi-private organization. Discord seems like a massive win on some dimensions of privacy even with the drawback of not being able to index all the things. I agree discord is bad if you want to create content for universal consumption but no one I know is truly using discord for that.
>I can categorically say I'm a productive ChatGPT user as of today. This might not apply to every industry, but for developing/refactoring there is already a GDP-boost with ChatGPT's name on it.

Really? I asked ChatGPT to code review my code and it halucinated issues that did not exist.

I also had the idea to give it 100 lines of code to refactor but after I got the response I realized that will can't trust that it did not fucked up so I decided to do the cleanup myself.

I can use it as a faster Google search to answer me soem questions, but I need to always check the answers.
No, Google, Facebook, and Reddit are the languages spoken on the WWW that annihilated all the others. Then God comes down and breaks them up. The Tower of Babel was the original silo.
What if every output from a prompt was a QR code which led the user to a page with the actual prompt and the output and this is what AI was relegated to do in order to ad some modicum of proof-of-prompt-custodianship...

so the only way one could see the output of the AI was to read the QR code which resulted in the intput & the output?
Then why is it worthwhile to alienate all users with these API restrictions just so that users move to in house mobile apps?
They'd be absolute fools not to be keeping a copy of everything it's ever said. How much text has it generated, ever? A couple of dozen terabytes? Maybe?

What will happen is that it will stratify people even more and income inequality will become even more pronounced.

The educated people will learn how to write on their own and the less educated will use LLMs and never rise above it. That will be the McDonald’s workers of the Information Age.

This is the future that I’m preparing my kids for so that they land on top. I’m investing heavily in creativity and writing for them so that they will land in the upper levels of society and not the lower ones that become slaves to AI.
Nitter uses an "internal" unofficial Twitter API, and it does require active effort to keep up with. But still, that makes it immune to the whims of official API restrictions.

I was glad to see that the horoscope was only the 7th most popular page on SFGate today.

I can only imagine that this means all these recent troubles I've been hearing about San Francisco have been resolved and people do not need the help from their horoscope anymore to know what to do to resolve their problems.

The Discussions page on google was fantastic. I was able to find information so easily. When they shut it down, there was a firefox extension to bring it back. Until Google shut it down completly. I've always wondered why they did that. Perhaps they wanted to bring attention to bigger websites with adsense? I have no idea.

Crypto was a massive innovation unlike AI - I'm referring to the ability to liquidate investments to retail by completely bypassing securities laws. I don't think this AI wave can get to the same level since it's way harder to sell the bubbly assets to the next lemming. Public markets via a traditional IPO won't be able to sustain this bubble.
Ah, Brønsted-Lewis. In defence of the OP:

People informed on Chemistry usually take "acid = you'll get H₃O⁺ in water" and "base = you'll get OH⁻ in water"; that is, the Arrhenius' definition, updated for modern times. Brønsted-Lewis actually makes you think about what's going on (the transference of H⁺), in order to generalise it to other situations.

For example, consider the following reaction:

H₂O + HF ←→ OH⁻ + H₂F⁺

You don't get H₃O⁺ so by Arrhenius' [updated] definition there wouldn't be an acid there. But there is one - H₂O.

And someone might say "but wait, Arrhenius talks about H⁺!" - well, go look for "bare" protons in nuclear fusion, not in chemical reactions.

Interesting thought.

How do you feel about giving your colleague your password?

My personal opinion is that I can hold someone legally culpable if their account does something like leak financial information; you have a professional responsibility to secure your account from absolutely everyone.

Administrators acting on your account must of course be heavily logged and audited, which is the case.

This isn't unique to discord, it isn't any different than IRC which has been around for decades.
There are a dozen better reasons to quit reddit.

The only reason people are protesting api pricing is because they want to protest. The actual concern here isn't what they are protesting.

They want to quit but they can't. They likely even realize they are addicted. They likely even realize the content they view is censored and curated to manipulate them.

Just quit reddit already and be happy.
The user linked to the comment in the thread (https://old.reddit.com/r/newsokunomoral/comments/148y47z/red...). It would appear as [removed] if it was removed by mods, a mod bot such as AutoModerator, the spam filter, or it was posted by a shadow-banned user. [Removed by Reddit] means that it was removed by Reddit's Anti-Evil Operations. I'm a mod elsewhere and the text matches other comments that AEO has removed on my sub.
Good catch on the "combined with custom catadioptric lenses." Which by definition means a combination of mirrors and refractive optics. But I still don't think they are pancake lenses, but something more akin to what Limbak, which was recently bought by Apple was famous for designing catadioptric optics. Before being bought by Apple, Limbak was best known for their catadioptric design used by Lynx.
I would think they would treat it like youtube and allow it to lose money, at least at first, in order to support their core business.

I think this causes further problems as well. These big companies know they can easily be listed at the top of Google, and therefore they pump out low quality articles for every popular key phrase. They can write a "Top 10 X of 2023" list and bring in lots of traffic and referral sales, while a smaller site has no chance of doing the same. Then, the big site takes all that income, and pumps out more low quality articles. It's a rich get richer scenario.

If I search, "The top 10 movies on Netflix", I get sent to this page...

https://decider.com/list/top-10-movies-on-netflix-most-popul...

The top 5 movies above are...

1. The Boss Baby (2017)

2. The Angry Birds Movie (2016)

3. We're the Millers (2013)

4. Zookeeper (2011)

5. Mean Girls (2004)

Is this really the best the world has to offer for my search query? I could spend a week putting together a far better page for that query, but what's the point? It's not going to rank anywhere notable in the Google results. There's no incentive for me to produce that quality content.
How far under the hood? Can gandi misbehavior permeate through the Amazon layer?
I wonder how much more active would forum websites be today if Google hadn't shut down the discussion search mode.
Agreed. It's worth noting in the context you describe, you have valuable customers who have paid for long-running contracts. This warrants the ongoing time and investment in quality.

Most of the time, this is not the case.

My experience is of course mainly at startups, so I am most familiar with the shorter time-horizon, lower-cost initiatives.

The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) places a major emphasis on learning.

It surprisingly has up to date content where I live, and generally anything 4+ stars is good and below 3 stars is not too good. The individual reviews are usually not useful, but looking at patterns and trends of recent reviews can be useful if you know how to filter out the obvious BS and one-off overreactions.

The problem is a real lack of reviews for smaller places, especially outside the downtown area. Google Maps has more content there.

>As for free will, anyone saying we don’t have it is doing bad science since every person knows they do

This is a statement spoken with an authoritativeness that it doesn't deserve. There has never been a time I can remember that "free will" ever seemed real to me much less something I inherently "know"; it is at best an imprecise phrase for something I don't have a word for. The physical body is going to do what it does, the thing experiencing qualia is just along for the ride.

As for "bad science", free will as it is described seems that it would violate causality. That a macroscale effect can occur spontaneously without a paired action.
Napoleon, of course, was smart and got things done. Until he made numerous catastrophic and boneheaded choices involving what to try to get done, and as a consequence spent his last few years pacing around in a little garden on the most remote island they could find for him.

"They are using a large body of research, clinical experience, and shared knowledge of their peers."

If a psychiatrist prescribes a placebo instead of a kick to the groin they are "......using a large body of research, clinical experience, and shared knowledge of their peers" that show kicks to the groins are bad for patients, and placebos cause them to report improvements. You can defend anything with this sort of language, it's posturing.

dominion voting systems may have sent out a similar memo to their employees. the company was definitely not the one doing bad in that case. it's often the case that there's some group that is irrationally upset at some company, the company warning it's employees about the risks of that doesn't seem to reflect anything but good on the company.
It scales horribly.

But that has not stopped some servers from exploding in size. And its "fine" if you are just trying to shoot the breeze or shout into the void, not look for specific information (which is truly horrendous) or answer FAQ (which is even more horrendous than reddit).

After about 600 0-100-0 cycles a lithium battery will be down to about 80% capacity, which is enough to trigger a warranty claim. And 600 cycles once a day is only 2 years. Also using the battery at an extremely hot or extremely cold temperature will also reduce its lifetime.

OTOH, if you keep that battery between 20-80% and only use it at indoor temps, you can probably cycle it daily for 20 years.

Agrgrgr I'm angry. Gandi got recently bought and people were saying that it was just a matter of time before they would pull something like this. Your predictions were right and I hate that I'm in this position now.

People didn't post on Reddit for Reddit, people posted on Reddit in the hope that other people might read the post and get something out of it. Burning all of the books that I wrote for others to read is attacking myself to hurt Reddit. I don't care about Reddit enough to hurt myself to hurt it.

Really depends on what kind of amperage you want to run through it.

A kilowatt at 12V is going to be 85 amps and too hot for something rated for 15 amps.

Not sure what’s approved for DC use in general. Standards bodies will probably disagree with using something typically used for AC with DC because of the risk of plugging the wrong thing into it.
> I often get the feeling that in these circumstances people derive first principles from specific desired outcomes.

But that's exactly how laws are made. E.g. why do we have consumer protection? Because it helps us! It's democracy in action.

It's not like nobody would ever build another forum if there were laws like the ones proposed by GP.

And if you're worried that every little forum should comply to complicated laws: we could make it so that the laws only apply to large players, e.g. >1M users.
Not that I'm aware of. Reddit/HN has been compromised for years but I guess it's better than the alternatives. Whoever solves trustworthy, honest reviews will be a very, very rich person.
I think this largely hits nail on the head. Imagine I was particularly knowledgable about ballpoint pens, and I spent most of my time manufacturing ball point pens.

What motivation do I have to spend money to, build, design and host a website, deal with content moderation, work on distribution and SEO optimization and potentially buy ads. If I do this, I might as well expect a return and start selling something, which leads to spam. But if I just want to talk about the finer details of blue ink vs blank ink, and theres a community of ballpoint pen enthusiasts already, it's far easier for me to reply to a couple hundred comments over the course of the year.

I don't know where the "open" web goes from here. With moderation getting more and more time consuming I don't blame people for just running to discord where they can properly gatekeep information.
You should look at atiny10s too, they have a 6 pin and through hole version and you can use them without a crystal.

I have thought about making a design for one and doing a series where we make an assembler in python, where it's an exercise in writing a parser to output the binary assembly for use in a simple micro like the atiny. They have limited registers and instruction set, so would be a good way to help people understand what is happening.

To me, to not make up your own rituals is to not really understand any of this.

A good modern Crowley ritual based on the Absinthe book is to get some wine and other substances of choice, get quite inebriated over many hours and listen to Celtic Frost - To Mega Therion. Even better with a lover involved.

To just copy Crowley is to not understand that every man and woman is a star.

To treat Crowley as just some author of text is pure blasphemy.

I do not doubt that there are domain where the best libraries are in a particular language, and this language might not be C++.

I am just not convince that java is better than C++ with this regard. (as they are more domain where the best C++ is faster than best java one).

But i think that's beside the point, we are comparing language here, so the existing/quality of characteristics of libraries shouldn't be the main focus (beside the stdlib of course).

Now there is more to choosing a tech. stack than just the programming language, and that include the libraries, current knowledge of the team etc. And i would even venture to say that those might be more important than the programming language per say. But i do believe we can still factor those concern out and compare programming languages, keeping in mind it's only part of the story.
> If users provide content for free, then a platform must allow users to consume that content freely, as in "as they wish", not "for free".

The platform is paying me with distribution and letting me take advantage of network effect. Anyone can setup a free blog and post all they want, and make everything available via RSS, but instead people choose to post on Reddit (and on HN!) because Reddit has built a platform that provides additional value vs posting on one's own blog.

Platforms need to make $ to stay alive, Reddit's problem is they took VC money for a product that, it turns out, doesn't generate VC returns.

Without the need to pay off VCs, Reddit could likely easily become profitable (as they reportedly were in 2019) and everyone involved could become comfortably-but-not-filthy-rich.
On my personal machines? I don't shut them down or reboot very often.

At work, however, I have to use Windows. In that case, I shut it down at the end of every workday, in part because that prevents weird issues Windows tends to develop when running too long.

Mostly, though, it's because of those damned forced updates. Since I can't trust Windows to not reboot itself at any random point in time, having the habit of shutting down at the end of the day at least ensures that I won't accidentally lose my state overnight or over the weekend.
Alternatively: https://www.adweek.com/social-marketing/ripples-through-redd...

Of course the CEO during an IPO year is going to downplay the shutdown. That said, there's no way the shutdown is going to change reddit in this case. They will replace the mods on the bigger subs.
I agree and just to clarify: I don't think/know whether this startup will be successful or not, in fact I don't even know if buying DeepMind was a good investment for Google (financially speaking). I only mentioned it because the comments were very similar.
