Of course they have the agency. They can limit the # of active drivers that can log in. Nobody is forcing them to have an unlimited number of drivers, just like nobody is forcing the Best Western down the road to hire an unlimited number of people to work their night desk.

It's just that under a business model where having more people on call not cost them anything, they were happy to expand the on call roster to an unlimited size.
Man that word at the end really made me chuckle - thanks for the laugh
Absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for sharing.
Because it's hard to create tangible benefits.

Reddit doesn't want to have any functionality that makes the site hard to use. They don't want to say, limit how much you can post because you're making content for free for them and keeping other people engaged.

Minor quality of life improvements are easily addressed with browser plugins like RES. It has to be something that can't be provided that way.

So what you get is very niche features like the ability to load more than 500 commments and a shiny badge.

Agree on France, the EU is particularly rigorous in its oversight of AI also. In terms of the boom/bust in the article, historical patterns are useful to keep in mind, but they don't dictate what will happen.

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. Come to think of it, the AI hype-cycle has been in effect for some time already no? Maybe this is the productivity stage...
And I'm not an expert in this area, but my understanding is that during a colonoscopy they use a level of anesthesia called "conscious sedation", and the drugs they use also tend to have strong amnesia-inducing properties.

Anesthesia for surgery is more complicated and involves a cocktail of different drugs, administered in a particular sequence, tending to include paralytic drugs as well as special inhaled drugs that we don't even really know how they work (eg sevoflurane). It amounts to a much deeper state of anesthesia than the conscious sedation used in things like GI endoscopy and wisdom tooth extraction.

IANAA (I Am Not An Anesthesiologist) but I like to read about stuff like this and ask my doctors about it whenever it comes up for me.
> No, we are nowhere near close to having a full-powered laptop in a form factor that could be worn on the face. I don't see any reasonable chance it will happen in the next 10 years, for example.

Um.

The Vision Pro runs an M2, the same processor they have in the best laptops Apple makes. I think it’s a huuuuge reach to just assume without having used the device, that it just must be visibly slow compared to running a modern laptop. Most of the pixel pushing is done on a GPU and is totally independent of what limits you to be able to run lots of apps. The M2 is already massively powerful for a typical laptop workload.

What are you basing this on? You realize that iOS runs the same kernel as macOS, right? It has supported “multitasking” in the sense of “multiple processes” since day one. It’s just that iOS has intentionally limited the UI so that only one app is focused, and it eagerly kills (for the purposes of saving battery) apps that you’ve tabbed away from, with a lot of help from the software to make sure apps can persist their state and quickly recover. The limitations of multitasking on iOS is not due to there not being enough CPU, it’s to save battery. And Apple’s laptops use the same CPU, and have the best battery life in the industry, so I don’t see how you can arrive at the conclusion that a device with the same specs as their best laptops just obviously can’t multitask.

Yet the core - cache aside - is significantly smaller. Supposedly on the same process but maybe maybe the transistors are built different to explain this.

But I tend to think this analysis is just ignorant. There's so many millions of things not on that spec sheet. Every stage of the pipeline has all kinds of tweakable parameters. Is the branch prediction the same? Is cache associativity the same? Are there the same number of execution units, with the same capabilities?

Something changed to make the core itself smaller. We just can't read some simple specs like this & know what.

Good for her. Yelp's business model seems to work best if they can pick winners, which is unfortunate.

If I search for "dinner" on Yelp for "current location" and look at the map, it leaves out an astonishing number of places that I can see within a mile if I drive down the street.

And if your business model is centered around hiding all but the winners - who might pay for placement + reviews both - then you have to try to keep people from talking about it, and the moral interests just get worse and worse.

Google Maps isn't any better; OpenTable seems the "least bad" of options I've looked at recently, at least for fancier reservation-having places, in terms of actually showing my options.

(It's a broader internet problem in general - "trending" algorithmic reinforcement stuff will push everyone towards the ONE TRUE BEST HOTTEST MOST POPULAR bbq/ramen/whatver place, when probably there's half a dozen other options within 10% of taste and quality, that some people very well could legitimately like better if they heard about them too.)

Reality is just reality. In some things, it may reflect that liberals are right. In other things, it may reflect that conservatives are right. But you're right that the training data is the key and that some overlord in a dark closet turning the dials is becoming less and less of a possibility. This is why the European bureaucrats want to "regulate" (aka ban) open AI. They're just afraid that reality doesn't have as much of a bias that favors them as they thought lol.

> just like on Mastodon servers can choose whether to interact with each other, on Reddit it's not uncommon to get auto-banned from somewhere if you post in a subreddit they dislike.

That feels like a very incomplete implementation of federation, to say the least. Being able to defederate is one part of that, but "just make alts for the various mutually defederated subsets of subreddits" seems like a pretty unpractical way of going about it. :D
What if the experience of pain is separate to the experience of heart rate rising and blood pressure rising?

Catadioptric does mean exactly that - a combination of mirrors and lenses. In photography, catadioptric lenses are used to make very compact for the focal length telephoto lenses - for example, a 500 mm catadioptric lens with two mirrors and several elements weights nearly an order of magnitude less than a 500mm refractive only design.

I thought it was very interesting and unique, I have no idea what the optical design could look like. Maybe something like the perkins-elmer solid cat design, shrunk down for a long focal length but compact pancake lens.
I have.

Not being able to update your existing resources is still an outage from a DevOps perspective.

It might be an API level outage vs an end-user level outage from your customer's perspective, but if the functionality is down, it's an outage.
People from 30 years ago would probably be incredulous if you revealed that we still don't drive flying cars in the future. If you instead told them that we found a way to miniaturize television and celebrate content as short as 6 seconds long, they would probably be really horrified and then concede that you're right about the future. Comparatively, it's not hard to see why smartphones became popular. It's a cellphone, iPod and internet communicator in one device.

The Reality Pro, on the other hand... it can call people, circumstantially. You could listen to music on it, but it's kinda cumbersome and there are less intrusive options even today. You could also browse the internet on it, but it would require context-switching that isn't so intrusive with physical interfaces.

If your biggest pitch is that future tech will make this small enough to be competitive, I refute that by saying we'd just use that technology to make better/cheaper smartphones. Literally the same thing happened with television (and 3D TVs), there's hardly a reason to think it won't happen here.

I had this exact experience, I had an email server running on the same ISP for 15 years, got great delivery. I got a new ISP, blacklisted nearly everywhere. IP reputation is super hard and time consuming to build.

So I made the switch to Fastmail, and honestly, it's the best descision I made. Migrating was super simple, and they've been rock-solid for me. I didn't realize how much time I was wasting administrating an email server with one user until I switched.

Thanks, you are right, domain investors mostly take risks in arbitraging something they are able to acquire faster than others and don't exactly produce value in the same way that you would, while say creating a game. Of course, don't mention that to the domain investors, as it would not go well.

I would say many of them think of themselves as real estate investors, where they buy up cheap pastures today, in hopes of building the next Manhattan on it tomorrow.

Indeed, domain utilization would be a lot better if they were a lot more expensive. That's partially why some new TLDs sell you a domain for 99 cents the first year, and then raise prices to $50 for the next. Assuming you took a year and built something valuable, the price to keep it goes up.

That said, even those TLDs have tens of thousands of domains (more on that later), which are registered and unused. Investors are willing to take their bets, even if it costs a lot more to maintain the bag.

I am a familiar with a few theories on raising the prices and introducing "taxes," for holding domains, and a friend and I have had numerous discussions on the subject, but so far, in my opinion, those are theories that have too many unrealistic expectations of the real world. There's a solution somewhere out there, but we are not there yet.
DuckDuckGo was also giving me shaky results in the past few days.
It would be too funny if Google now announced they will no longer index reddit because the API is too expensive. Maybe that would spur reddit to improve search, or their own app and web offerings.
In the end, what you need if you want really reliable self hosting is to own your own ASN and IP range, so you can tightly control the quality. Review how clean the addresses are before purchasing them and continuously review it for the duration you own them, as some been used for spam previously.
I was working on something like this but for physical objects.

Fine grained categories take up a lot of space and involve a lot of containers,which then creates more objects to manage. They also take Moore effort to put things away, for only small gains in retrieval speed unless your memory is good enough to find the category box right away.

My theory is an organization system should be optimized for storage rather than retrieval as that is what takes time and effort.

But I have a lot of trouble with numbers or abstract symbols and don't want to spend forever learning them, so I use three letters abbreviations.

All the categories are based on observation of what is already close together, rather than by trying to create a system logically, to take advantage of things I've seen in one place long enough to remember, and not have to relearn the location.

So, I have a category BAM, for bulk artificial materials. This exists because there was a bunch of paint, some cleaning supplies, and paper towels stored together.

There's also TAM, tapes, attachments, and materials. This has some screws, some ratchet straps, and some balsa wood and steel wire, some foam tape, and some keyring split rings, and a bunch of other stuff.

If things overflow a container, I split them into subcategories.
I still use a couple "old school" forums, but I have to say - the reddit tree format is just so, so much easier. It is impossible to de-rail a thread, and there's a certain level of anti-spam and self-moderation mechanism to the reddit format. The older forums still need some hardcore moderation, or else many threads become unreadable. Nothing worse than when two users start arguing, and the thread turns into shit.

But that's just the how things have evolved. It's so much easier to just start a subreddit, than to host your own forum.
Does this mean we'll get 7% less updates? (I'm poking fun at the insane number of times I've had to update Sonos here.)
Solid point, edited.
I'm assuming that there may be a large drop off in delivery orders as the costs will by borne by the consumer. Maybe people will have to go out like ye olden days and get food themselves. Maybe not, some people are willing to pay more for convenience...
> Will these “guerilla solar” units that plug into a receptacle to back-feed get approved for use?

Not practical in the USA with split-phase 120/240 (or 120/208 open wye) as you need to connect to both hot legs of the system to feed everything. In 230V countries they mostly have 2 wire service with (I hear some have three phase 230/400) so its easier to evenly back-feed a 2 wire system.

> I always question why we choose between 0kW solar installs OR multi-kW residential installs ...

Agreed. I have a small home server setup that draws 40W idle and I toyed with the idea of replacing the UPS with a small 1-2kW battery inverter plugged into the wall.

My concern with rogue solar installs is how does that interact with the utility company? Their smart meters will see reverse flow of current and if I do not have an "official" solar install, will they force me to adopt one or disconnect my system as it is not approved? So I would only build a system which draws from the utility as needed (cloudy days) and dumps excess power - never back feed.
There are, in the same way that there are infinity pools and private planes.
"everybody" in GP's context is "everyone using google" while "everybody" in your comment seems to mean "everyone using reddit"

There's significant overlap here (to the point of it nearly being a subset relationship, I'd guess) but these are not the same thing.
In hindsight it’s not surprising but when you’re paying turkers you expect humans to be doing the work, good to know it’s no longer reliable either
I think you missed the point: You are to channel your frustration into those terms, so your complaints can be dismissed.

Why else would they mention those things?
That I a think this is going to eventually come to a political head and be resolved with a treaty rather than EU courts because Google's (and Facebook with the end of the data sharing agreement) redress is going to be appealing to the US.

US tech companies have a very strong narrative right now that the EU's privacy and antitrust regulations are in effect, even if not intentional, a money extraction scheme. The EU has sued Google now 7 times under this statute as well as multiple times targeting Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, and Apple.

It's getting really hard to argue that they're not just going after the deepest (foreign) pockets with laws that are vague enough you could make a case against any medium sized tech company.

The EU fined Luxottica $125 million and explicitly allowed them to merge with Essilor.
>a company that potentially destroyed a ton of their value

I'm not so sure that's the case, for two reasons:

1) I have not stopped appending "reddit" to my searches or stopped visiting StackOverflow or other Stack* sites. ChatGPT is simply now an additional tool, and while there's some overlap in use cases there's also plenty I can do with *GPT that I couldn't with other sites.

2) To the extent that a training corpus relies on these (or any other) data sources, OpenAI has just made them much much more valuable! It's sort of like a mining company discovering that someone has an extremely valuable use case for decades of the mining company's tailings. This "someone" may have been allowed to haul away some of it without payment to the mining company, but now they know its value, now they can build a very lucrative business selling access to what remains, and what will be generates in the future.

That's all highly simplified though. It's of course much more complex than this, much more complex than can be captured in an HN discussion, but we can explore the outlines a bit, and even disagreement will reveal more and more of it.*
You’re right. For example in Soviet Russia – no one was homeless or unemployed, since everyone was guaranteed a place to live and a place to work.
Granted, gulags did not have the most comfortable accommodations, and you had to work long hours for free to live there, and potentially could end up in a mass grave, BUT at least you didn’t have to be accountable for your decisions like in these pig capitalist societies.
Sounds a bit like IRC to be honest.
I think we're thinking the same thing — that someone would (on their own or for money) write a review claiming that an innocent business had tried to pay for a good review, or take down a bad review. This could happen, but it's just as easy to pay someone to write a review saying the service/food/etc. was lousy. Why spend more time faking an email screenshot?

But from Yelp's perspective, a paid-for review claiming bad food is just fine, because it only tarnishes the restaurant's reputation. On the other hand, a claim of fraudulent review manipulation hits both the business and Yelp's reputations.
I'm the admin of https://lemm.ee, I believe we have a pretty decent setup (AFAIK we are the only serious instance doing horizontal scaling), so I would cautiously recommend anybody interested in Lemmy to consider us for their home instance.

Haven't experienced any noticeable performance issues yet on lemm.ee, but then again, we are still at only around 1k users. Fingers crossed I can keep it running smoothly (+ I am actively monitoring and scaling as needed, of course).
This is why I alias `ls` to `dd` and vice versa on all the systems I admin.
The title of this post is kind of clickbait-y, the author immediately puts an asterisk in the first sentence and notes that they think charging based on the cost of running the API is justified. The title should really be "APIs for content sites should cost a reasonable amount".
