Yes, I use Cloudflare for the website for https://beatscratch.io. However, I want to have a TLS-secured gRPC server also available on the same domain, which means using Cert-Manager, which is definitely easier if your DNS provider also does your Kubernetes service. I've been hopeful that I can keep all the things behind a single ingress and ideally served from a single Rust binary, but I'd love to see folks submit better solutions :)
Also you end up with some strange long term test behavior. Because people will often leave feature flags in place long after full release (years sometimes), you end up with a default-off-in-tests only testing behavior with everything newer than N years since the last feature flag cleanup disabled.

Yes it's kinda fractal of bad practices that have to align for this problem to occur, but that's the nature of tech debt.
Your own original comment was (I checked, to make sure it wasn't some third party joining in on our fray):

> make you question the beliefs of all the people who do follow the science?

It seems that, even in your own head, these two things are related very closely, the beliefs and the "following", to the point that this later assertion that they "have nothing to do with each other" is... just weird.

"Follow" is just a bad word. In the most generous way I am able to read your rebuttal, it seems that you may have (inadvertently) confused two separate meanings. It would be better if you were to excise it from your vocabulary. It would allow you to think more clearly, and to not make mistakes like this one.

Or should I go with the other, less generous, interpretations?
What's the implication of this new change for Microsoft Guidance, LMQL, Langchain, etc.? It looks like much of their functionality (controlling model output) just became obsolete. Am I missing something?
> Are there reasons why Apple would not want to go down this road?

Well, the Steam Deck is no small feat of maintanance. Even with Apple's new DirectX translator, playing Windows games takes multiple steps to set up and doesn't bundle a runtime like Proton does. Valve constantly maintains scripts to auto-install dependencies on Steam and make gaming "just work" when you hit play. I don't think Apple has the patience or willpower to make such an effort, even if they went with their proprietary approach.

This new toolkit mostly looks like Apple sweetening the deal for the leagues of Windows devs that don't want to port to Metal. It's not a bad move, but it still requires a conscious porting effort that most devs won't bother with. Even with this feature, your best shot at a Steam Deck-like experience is when Asahi starts expanding their Vulkan coverage.
Changing the zoom level will typically show these missing results. For example, I just checked my neighborhood. There are 5 restaurants within a few hundred feet of each other rated 4.5+ stars. With my filters set to 4.5+ stars, when I zoom out a bit, 4 of the 5 restaurants disappear, and I instead see a handful of 4.1 and 4.3 star restaurants. One of the 4.3 star restaurants is literally next door to a 5 star and 4.5 star restaurant, which are hidden at that zoom level.

I thought maybe it's some kind of weighted rating, because it's showing me the 4.3 star restaurant with 1,100 reviews, instead of the 4.5 star restaurant with 600 reviews. So, perhaps Google thinks the additional number of reviews make up for the lower rating, and they rank it higher, even though I'm specifically asking to not see those results. However, it also shows a 4.4 star restaurant with 40 reviews, while hiding a 4.5 star restaurant with 90 reviews.

This is par for the course when it comes to modern recommendations though. Do you want to see Netflix movies released in the past 3 years? Or what about a simple list of top rated movies? Too bad, you can watch what we tell you to watch. It's a complete lack of respect for the user.
TempleOS has no networking support at all, so I suppose one interpretation is that it drops all packets with the evil bit set.

> If you're looking for more trustworthy product reviews than the ones on an Amazon product page

I totally believe that! But since I personally don't look for product reviews on the internet at all (and absolutely wouldn't look on Amazon), I wouldn't really know.

All I'm saying is that for the sorts of things I tend to search for, anyway, finding good resources on the web isn't that hard, so I never really understood why people prefer to search reddit (unless they already are reddit users anyway, of course).
Go Kay Dean! Yelp should hire her and give her a team. It's a win-win. She is clearly passionate about the problem, and effective. Yelp gains added trust of their bread and butter, the review system.

Do you think of deep work (as described by Cal Newport) and deliberate practice as being similar or connected? I could see deliberate practice being deep work, but deep work doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with deliberate practice.
Good point if the app was independent like Yelp. I envisioned this as a first party product from a more powerful company, which makes the Watch as well, that could then directly integrate the consumer/review data into their Maps app on their Phones and other devices.

Alice from [brand] would then have to find a way to get customers to take off their watches or somehow artificially inflate their happiness scores. Or, funnel naturally happier people to their establishment, similar to lead sourcing.
Anukari: An Interactive Physics-Based Synthesizer (GPU) [video]
I've been working on Anukari for a while now, and this is the first public demo. It's been quite fun to figure out how to simulate hundreds of masses and thousands of springs in real-time with no hiccups, with the physics simulation stepping forward 48,000 times per second.

It runs on the GPU and it took a lot of tricks to make that work reliably. The biggest difficulty has to do with the fact that the model is user-editable in real time, so all the GUI stuff has to be synchronized to the audio rendering thread, and due to the latency constraints that has to be done without locks, allocation, etc.

Hopefully sometime in the near future I'll have time to write up a detailed explanation of the design!

Working Families is the real progressive party in NY since the Dems are largely corporatists and a organizationally rotting party. Our previous Emperor Cuomo actively went out of his way to suppress the party since they threatened both the DNC and his manipulate to play the 2 party standoff game for his own benefit.

Oh, I thought you were talking about anonymous reviews, where the the businesses can respond but not contact me directly. I wouldn't leave a review where they would be able to contact me. And even if they did, I'd handle that scenario a bit differently. Sorry that happened to you.

Here another plausible scenario how it went down, which follows the same plot: https://youtu.be/mfLycFHBsro
Personally I always considered the social contract to be that the price of admission for a free social network / online community is that you need to put up with ads and attempts to monetize the data, provided the latter isn’t an unreasonable breach of privacy. A free API never crossed my mind.

It’s why I have to admit that I am not sympathetic to third-party apps like Apollo. They implicitly violated the social contract I recognize by providing users with an experience that circumvents Reddit’s attempts to make money. Reddit responded by finding a way to put a price on the ad-free experience.
This is plausible, but I can put some bounds on the scope of the conspiracy. OpenAI has already released their own AI text classifiers[0], and they are nowhere near good enough to suggest the use of stylometric[1] watermarking. Furthermore, if such a watermark did exist, it would be detectable by anyone with a large enough corpus of known AI text. It probably would also be easier to detect (have lower false classification rates) than the unintentional stylo in ChatGPT output that most AI plagiarism detection is currently identifying.

I could see OpenAI archiving literally every line of text that their models generated, and then doing normal full-text search on their text corpus to remove their own output from it. But there's still one other flaw: the existence of other models.

GPT-3+ are not a monopoly. Google has BERT, Facebook has LLaMA, and the FOSS community has BLOOM, StableLM, and CerebrasGPT. While these models may or may not be GPT-4 quality, they will still be generating text without OpenAI's watermark, meaning that OpenAI won't know to filter for it. So even if they did plan to use watermarking as a way to invisibly scrape human content while polluting other companies' training sets, they wouldn't be able to succeed on such a plan.

[1] Stylometry is the process of fingerprinting word usage to determine authorship. This was used, for example, to unmask "Robert Galbraith" as the pen name of J.K. Rowling, before she made it too easy by just using her mystery novels as a way to rant about trans people and Twitter. More famously, the Unabomber was unmasked as Ted Kaczynski using the same means. Anonymity is a polite fiction and how you write is personally identifying information.

> They then attempt to invent moral axioms that they believe will lead to that outcome. They also seem to reinvent history such that there was some "implicit" agreement between Reddit and the users of Reddit.

I notice this also when people are talking about "the spirit of open source." No, open source licenses are licenses, not spirits, and you were contributing huge amounts of time and effort to fill a platform with content that you have absolutely no control over. People don't owe it to your OSS project not to fork it or not to become more successful than you at distributing it as a service, and Reddit can do whatever they want with your content that doesn't violate any obligations to you set out in their ToS.

Next time, do AGPL or proprietary, and don't give away any content that you value to someone else's platform for free. If you want them to be obligated to distribute it for free forever, you really should be paying them.
This sounds like a situation that would benefit from using an approach like all-pairs testing - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-pairs_testing

Basically, if you have N different features (let's assume they are all on/off switches, but it works for multi-values too), in theory you'd need to run 2^N tests to cover them all, which would become completely impractical. But, you can generate a far, far smaller set of test setups that guarantee that every pair of features gets tested together. Run those tests and you'll probably encounter most feature-interaction bugs in a much quicker time.

I gotta think this says more about the types of grocery stores you go to more than anything. I live just outside of Seattle and any random Safeway or QFC (Kroger) is going to have all the generic big corpo American light beers in it. Something more upscale like Whole Foods, less likely.
Wasn’t the comment just a validation that this story has been out there previously? (not to this extent with the names and a lot more info/context, but thats indeed what I was trying to get clarification on). How does clarifying a news item lead to some bias or stance on the matter, or trying to “brush under the rug?” I think you have read into that comment way too much..
Now that is something I agree with (the principle not the particular law).

If we're opening it up to our own opinions - I believe I should have total control over all of the content I generate in all contexts. That would include removing the content I provably generated from any platform at any time. Note that HN doesn't even allow me to do that ... I can't delete posts after some time frame.

But my understanding of GDPR is it doesn't go that far. It applies to PII (Personally Identifying Information). That would include things like mailing address, email addresses, full names, phone number, government ids, etc. I may be wrong, but I do not believe it would apply to the content of shitposts on Reddit.

Where I disagree with the articles vehement moral stance ... is my right to the publicly generated content of other people.

Also, if we want to get all technical, and I'm surprised no one has, there is some analogy to be made between the philosophy of free access to information provided by public libraries and this debate ...

Probably not hard to write an adapter at all. But it's not the API that made these apps popular and appealing. It's the Reddit community. The apps would write their own adapters if there was an alternative social media website with this community.
How I interpreted the grandparent comment is that status doesn't matter because we all die. My implied counterpoint is that it makes no sense to focus on what we will be after death (similar piles of bones). Rather, we should focus on having the nicest life now that we can still experience it. And I tried to imply the point that someone with high status probably enjoys a nicer life than someone of low status.

Yes, we all die. No, nothing we do will matter a few thousand years later. Should we just immediately give up then to skip to the inevitable? If so, why haven't you killed yourself already?
If the vast majority of Reddit ad-views are people doom scrolling, it doesn't matter what content they have as long as they have something.

If the vast majority of ad-views are people coming in from Google, et al, then the revenue impact will hit once the blackout lasts long enough, or if mods start deleting subreddits.

1. It is impossible to use Reddit without an API (a webpage is just another API).

2. No API is ever truly free. There are always tradeoffs that come with a cost.

3. Not all APIs have the same cost.

The question is, at what point does an API become a cost too much?

There is a lot of indication that changes at Reddit will mean that some APIs that were previously considered to be acceptably priced will no longer be acceptably priced. The cost of using the API will exceed the value derived from using the API.

Other APIs are stated to remain unchanged. In theory, users using the APIs in flux could migrate to these price-stable APIs. But, that does not mean that all people find those APIs acceptably priced, even where they did find the previously mentioned APIs in flux to be acceptably priced previously.

An API is not why someone uses Reddit, but it is a necessary precondition in order to use Reddit. If one finds the cost of a Reddit API to be too high, one will not use that API. If one finds the cost of all Reddit APIs to be too high, they will not use Reddit. To retain users, is necessary for an API to be "free enough".

You are correct. I guess people can't handle that. This is from the article, it tracks with your sentiment:

Said Metzl, “Had US government officials including Dr. Fauci stated from day one that a COVID-19 research-related origin was a very real possibility, and made clear that we had little idea what viruses were being held at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, what work was being done there, and who was doing that work, our national and global conversations would have been dramatically different. The time has come for a full accounting.”
On my iPhone, I either use Apple Maps or Waze. I'm pretty sure Waze doesn't offer this, though I haven't updated the app in a while.
I'm referring to the gain of function research currently being funded by the US government. We funded the gain of function research in Wuhan through the Eco Health Alliance. I don't mean to suggest we have any power to stop other countries from engaging in this dangerous research, but certainly we can stop being a party to it (and likely would have stopped if people knew there was a strong possibility that Covid resulted from a lab leak instead of a "wet market").
Actually I'm looking to take GPT-4 output and create file formats like keynote presentations, or pptx. Is that currently possible with some tools?
