I think their point makes a lot of sense, although they could have been less aggressive about it.

Your reply, while interesting, would work better as a standalone comment and doesn't really relate to the thread.
>US Carbon emissions actually went down over that decade.

The US per capita emissions are still only preceded by micronations and petrostates as far as I'm aware. In fact they're still double of those in the EU despite few countries like Poland relying heavily on fossil fuels. Chinese people have managed to surpass the europeans but even they emit about half as much as Americans and are slowing down.

>The environment generally is better in many ways than previous decades.

It feels a bit like replying to a fictitious argument about declining life expectancy by saying "but car & gun deaths are down!".

I care a bit less for more localized short term bound air quality but it's absolutely great that the ozone hole is shrinking and such. Humanity managed to get togheter and make changes that had great impact. I however feel like we managed to do this because the changes needed were comparatively small.

Now please do not under any circumstances use these victories as argumentation to push back against fixing different issues.

The decline in insect biomass in many places is horrifying and as far as I know still accelerating.

Our fossil fuel extraction is still growing. We'll see it decline when it starts getting harder to extract in a few years yes but I don't see that as reason to pat ourselves on the back.
It's not a problem that fixes itself relatively quickly necessarily in the same way that stopping the use of CFK's was.
Natural sequestration will remain very very slow. Taking it out of the carbon cycle in a good way is many times more difficult than releasing it.
We could have given ourselves so so much more leeway by tackling the easier parts of this dependence but didn't and we still often don't.
While I have no need for its online functionality and the SAAS part of plotly, I really do like plotly python + cufflinks [1]. It lets you make interactive plots in html/js format. Which means you can save the notebook as html, and while people won't be able to rerun the code, they can still zoom in on graphs, hover to see annotations etc, which is a really nice way to share the outcome of your work in a more accessible way.

not even remotely
On that second point... haven't we kind of solved this? Or rather there's a really obvious parallel. We've got an extremely powerful thing that can do whatever we want it to do, and now all we need to do is decide what to ask it to do and make sure it does what we want. Where else do we see that? Well that's government. The US is a massively powerful country, it's got hundreds of thousands of soldiers, billions of dollars at it's disposable, it can shoot individual humans into the sun if it wants to -and it's intelligent too! So how do we control it? A set of institutions with checks and balances elected by and accountable to the public.
Whatever is the least "cozy" rhetorically, that is associated with good feelings, mother and apple pie style bullcrap, gets to be the designated scapegoat.

It's not the cheapest, but the pricing is stable and predictable, the tools are good and I can automate swapping subdomains if an IP changes trivially.
Their ads in the iOS app are formatted exactly like normal reddit posts. I’ve tapped on them by accident quite a few times in the last week. I’m going to assume the New Reddit experience is largely the same, but I’m not about to turn off my adblocker on PC to test that.
They are ignoring the elephant in the room: Discord.

Serotonin doesn't cause you to be happy. Its effects are more basic in some ways, but also more complex in others. It is a chemical which serves a purpose in at least all forms of multi-cellular life, from plants to animals - so you can imagine how old and fundamental its role is.

Also, depression is not caused by low serotonin levels:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41380-022-01661-0

> The main areas of serotonin research provide no consistent evidence of there being an association between serotonin and depression, and no support for the hypothesis that depression is caused by lowered serotonin activity or concentrations. Some evidence was consistent with the possibility that long-term antidepressant use reduces serotonin concentration.

The Oracle Cloud Free tier is a great deal. They give you 4 Ampere A1 Cores + 24 GB RAM + 200GB storage for free. More than enough for a 20G (40M rows plus indices) Posgres instance.
Why not delete the accounts and the subreddits as a protest? It would do much more damage and it would be much worse if the reddit admins decided to restore the deleted subreddits.
In my local Aldi the scales are enormous - you can definitely fit a full trolley full of groceries on the scales. A local Tescos has two kinds - one set of self checkouts with small scales for people with baskets only, and one with huge scales for people with trolleys. They look like this, you can fit everything on it:

In other words - this is a solved problem.
They count, but I don't think it is the same level as with reddit here and now.

The difference is likely the money involved. Wikipedias mission is to share knowledge, a goal shared by most of its participants and there are of course disagreements on the type of knowledge.

Redit the company wants to make money selling ads, reaching the highest "engagement" - which is not what the user wants.

So I also think, a non profit would be the best model also for reddit.
so basically r/askreddit ?
Book 4 isn't a bad place, but Magick in Theory and Practice is more approachable as a first read. It was written as a series of letters to a female student, and Crowley's Victorian attitudes about the intellect of women made it so it was basically an ELI5.

> I know the US system is a little different with long-term fixed mortgages, but for much of the world on variable interest rates, central bank decisions have an almost next day impact on income (and a fairly near term impact for those able to lock-in rates for a couple years).

in the UK: an interest rate change has an immediate effect on demand for new mortgages but a lag of several years on existing borrowers as nearly everyone fixes their mortgage for 2-5 years

(basically by buying an interest rate swap)
Genuinely amazing piece of technology, this is so cool

Same for German and Swiss layouts *sigh. After many years, I am now capable of typing curly and angular brackets by holding left shift with my small finger, left alt with my left thumb, and the corresponding symbol key with my right little finger, without loosing the ten-finger-stance on the keyboard.

(on our keyboards, left shift+alt is an alternative for the right "Alt Gr" key)

Luckily, we went off Eagle a while ago. We used it mainly because we couldn't justify 4 Altium Licenses for our department. Building system prototypes and measurement equipment just isn't profitable enough inside a multi-billion USD super tanker of a company it seems.

We try to go open source to prevent stuff like that as much as possible. I would say we are around 80% there so far (excluding obviously manufacturer-specific stuff like STM Cube IDE). KiCad, Gitea, drawio, Python(and thank heavens for pyvisa), Octave, OpenProject. Next up is probably Eclipse Capella.
The only stuff we currently can't get rid of are Simulink and SolidWorks.

Well, maybe in the future.
Why on earth would you need to retain IP address or have analytics at all?

This scaremongering about GPDR always conveniently forgets that the stuff the GPDR makes scary to do is stuff you should not be doing anyway.
Hey billing geeks, I have had this idea to compare US prices to the ones listed in the German GOÄ, which is the central price catalog negotiated with German health insurers. It is binding for German doctors participating in the public healthcare system (Kassenärzte; Kasse = insurance carrier). This is somewhat analogous to medicare pricing I believe.

If this were at all possible, and I don't have high hopes looking at the obfuscation in the published US hospital pricing data, it would shine a light on the insane pricing insurers in the US get away with. Being able to quantify would allow to direct comparison, and hopefully convince some people to vote for the right party to change the greed and human suffering we currently have to put up with.

Edit: Here a PDF of the GOÄ [0]. It has multiple pricing as well, which is used when a private insurance carrier pays. Private insurance can be used as well, giving preferred access and treatment.

Indeed. Unlike the case for some of his opponents from other religions.
There are good pain points and there are bad pain points.

If you think you'll gain in other areas despite failing and it won't affect other aspects of your life (think health and mental), then by all means power through.

And keep in mind a track record of finished work is a degree of proof that no one can deny, so long as you're able to host it and let others see it.

This statement seems slightly ironic given the prevalence of IoC containers in the most commonly used backend languages and rampant 'interface everything' syndrome alongside it. You'd almost think such a world would embrace AOP.
I'm curious, does the 3% number for how (relatively) close you were to finishing the game come from hindsight, or did you know that number while in the process of making the game (and if so, how?)
I have to agree, publishing your own scoring is not ideal however it is sometimes specific to the use case. This is one of the reasons why people are uncomfortable with CVSS, some scorers consider the general case, some scorers consider the actual used case.

I agree that AMD should be dedicating an engineer to making sure all the top popular ML/AI projects can run on their hardware, but maybe they also need to spin up a wiki listing compatibility...

AMD GPU acceleration via CLBlast was merged back in mid-May in llama.cpp:master - it works and gives a boost (although not all AMD GPUs have been tuned for CLBLast - this is something that AMD should be doing tbt: https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm/issues/2161)

There is also a hipBLAS fork, which is slightly faster (~10% on my old Radeon VII) which maybe someone at AMD should be supporting to make its way into master: https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/1087

I'll also note that exllama merged ROCm support and it runs pretty impressively - it runs 2X faster than the hipBLAS llama.cpp, and in fact, on exllama, my old Radeon VII manages to run inference >50% faster than my old (roughly equal class/FP32 perf) GTX 1080 Ti (GCN5 has 2X fp16, and 2X memory bandwidth, so there's probably more headroom even) for a relatively easy port. That's really impressive: https://github.com/turboderp/exllama/pull/7

(It's worth noting that for the latter, all you need to do is install the ROCm version of PyTorch and "it just works," which is refreshing: https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/)
Pretty unhelpful response. Okay I'll answer for you, yes you have. That means that mutability is an acceptable solution at the right time.

This is why services usually make it a condition of being allowed to post in the first place that you grant them a worldwide perpetual irrevocable license to the content, via the EULA.

And you can see why: having to ask all the users for permission in the future is completely infeasible, so just ask once upfront for everything.
Hey, another extend user! I literally can't imagine using a computer for a long time if it didn't have extend and colemak-dh. The friction with trying to make extend work on Linux is the main reason I'm stuck on Windows.

I'm done with reddit anyway. After uninstalling Apollo and shredditing my account (not that I strongly believe in the effectiveness of shreddit, it was more of a gesture toward reddit), I realize that reddit is harmful for me. The bots that manipulate perception, on top of the user-hostile behavior, make me realize one would have to be a fool to continue to use reddit unless it changes drastically.

It does suck to no longer interact with smaller communities but at this point I have to prioritize my own well being first.
Hey guys look, it's Owen Wilson.
No, but they're continuing to use Reddit.
OK, so if each user were to use their own API key, reddit would still have the same costs but nowhere near the revenue, which speaks to a pricing structure aimed at the status quo where the API key is per developer instead. What's the betting that if apps switch to allowing users to specify their own API key that reddit actually allows most users to do this? The '90%' number is meaningless: apps which use the reddit API (or any API with a free tier) have an extremely long tail of niche uses which effectively no-one cares about.

The comment about API optimization is inane, apps already try to do this and bump up against the problem that reddit's API is atrocious (try actually getting all the comments in a comment chain once they get collapsed! if you actually want to succeed, even on a chain with only ~100 comments, you're gonna need around 30 API calls. Most apps don't bother to try, and the 'more comments' button is invariably broken).
I was skeptical of the article's claims that anesthetized patients may continue to experience consciousness, but this has definitely shaken the foundations of that belief:

>At doses near the unconsciousness threshold, some anesthetics block working memory (20). Thus, patients may fail to respond because they immediately forget what to do. At much lower doses, anesthetics cause profound amnesia. Studies with the isolated forearm technique, in which a tourniquet is applied to the arm before paralysis is induced (to allow the hand to move while the rest of the body is paralyzed), show that patients under general anesthesia can sometimes carry on a conversation using hand signals, but post-operatively deny ever being awake (21). Thus, retrospective oblivion is no proof of unconsciousness.

Edit: there are some sections of this article that could prompt some interesting discussion from the crowd here. For example, from a subsection "Consciousness and integrated information":

>The evidence from anesthesia and sleep states (Fig. 2–3) converges to suggest that loss of consciousness is associated with a breakdown of cortical connectivity and thus of integration, or with a collapse of the repertoire of cortical activity patterns and thus of information (Fig. 2). Why should this be the case? A recent theory suggests a principled reason: information and integration may be the very essence of consciousness (52). Classically, information is the reduction of uncertainty among alternatives: when a coin falls on one of its two sides, it provides 1 bit of information, whereas a die falling on one of six faces provides ~2.6 bits. But then having any conscious experience, even one of pure darkness, must be extraordinarily informative, since we could have had countless other experiences instead (think of all the frames of every possible movie). Having any experience is like throwing a die with a trillion faces and identifying which number came up (Fig. 2). On the other hand, every experience is an integrated whole that cannot be subdivided into independent components. For example, with an intact brain you cannot experience the left half of the visual field independently of the right half, or visual shapes independently of their color. In other words, the die of experience is a single one throwing multiple dice and combining the numbers will not do.

The main issue here is that the number isn't relevant: it's per API key, not per user. So unless reddit starts handing out API keys to every user then it doesn't make the slightest difference to third party apps.
I'm surprised reddit can't run with that amount of profit per user per month but more surprised by the Instagram number.

Surely spending there is overinflated? I know whales with bad impulse control are a thing but there's no way the average user there justifies $35 in ad spending.

As a piano player I don’t get all that obsession about the home row. I like (and possess) a good quality keyboard as the next guy, but that home row optimization makes no sense to me. Moving your arms is good for you, not bad! Look at a 88 key piano, people manage just fine to move their arms up and down a bit.
> If Reddit forces them off, and they create www.askhistorians.com, then I'm making a account there.

And that's fine, but you're talking as if everyone is like you, with only 1 subreddit that they browse.

In reality (and reddit probably has the numbers to verify this), most people jump across maybe 10 or more different mods.

They're not going to go create 10 different accounts elsewhere.

I personally am not a big reddit user, and yet I have about 10 sunreddits that I subscribe to. Logging into reddit (old.reddit), I see all those posts after login.

This is also the reason why the federated system is broken by design: the type of users who use reddit don't want the friction of logging onto a dozen different instances to see all the posts related to ONE top.

I think what a lot of people are missing is that centralisation is what provides the value reddit has. Moderators (seriously, those people are a dime a dozen - in fact you can charge mods a fee and you still won't run out of mods wanting to sign up) are not the primary value in reddit. Posts are not the primary value in reddit.

Being the central place where all the people you want to hang out with are hanging out is the primary value of reddit.
Ditto.

AOP was pretty big in Enterprise Java shops in ~2007 era and I'm also glad that it never took off. It was one of those fads driven by "Architecture astronauts" and it resulted into lots of bloated code and delayed/failed projects.

I vaguely remember one major project from Visa that used AOP heavily and was an unmaintainable hot potato. It was passed on to different consulting companies and everyone messed it further by adding their idea of AOP to it.

I use a southpaw keyboard with arrow keys on the left side. I think it's a great design, it frees up space for the mouse bringing your arms closer together for a more ergonomic position.

I'm not necessarily saying it's better but it makes you think about how input design shapes the use of software.
I can’t exactly pinpoint what it is about this but I can’t help feeling that there’s a certain irony in you taking a screenshot of a perfectly readable, accessible post on here and posting that as (to my mind) a less readable less accessible, decontextualised piece of content - an image on an image sharing site.

Is it because people will genuinely engage with that content there?

Is it a “this is such good content I’ve captured it for posterity - look here’s the proof!” type of endorsement?

Or is it an attempt to archive the content into some sort of collective memory? Or an aide memoire for your own purposes?

Genuinely curious to understand your motivation, it’s not a criticism of what you’ve done, just something I feel I don’t understand.
Well, for one, Drs. Timothy Leary and John Lilly were both avid readers of his methods, and it helped shape their take on what in large part can be seen (and is sometimes explicitly referred to) as "programming the human mind." Ritual can be seen as a routine designed as an input that brings about a desired output, much like code being put into a machine.

For people who like the intersection of programming and the brain as a computer analogy, this scratches an itch. And when it comes to really initiating at least a semi-scientific approach to rituals of antiquity, Crowley was right in the middle of it. William James would be another good place to look if you ask me -- though honestly, Crowley mentions this in his reading lists, among quite a few good other sources.

I agree that he also has a lot of baggage -- the man enjoyed manipulating people, gaining power, and of course, gaining money to feed his cocaine and heroin habits. He was also a spy for MI-6. In some of his better moments he actively sought NOT to be some sort of messiah, but in many of his more mischievous times he reveled in it.

Tread carefully -- but yes, there's a lot to be curious about.
What did Morgan (in the dream) actually accomplish that a small shell script couldn’t?

Literally each step was “if error then do automated action”

Alas I have emails which go to a circuit provider when their circuit goes down as they can’t seem to monitor it. It does automated triage, for example checking my router is up and powered, checking the link light on their adva etc.

It tells them there’s no power outage. They inevitably ask the first question. “Is there a power problem”

A run book, or any instructions, is only as good as the person following them.
