Windows has multiple settings and control panel lists to launch the exact same control panel applications. Or even duplicate UI to control the same setting.

I think generally that’s seen as confusing, and probably not something worth striving for IMO.

I generally like his essays, but is there anything substantive here?

He doesn't define smart. He doesn't define what it means to get stuff done. He doesn't convince me that there are a lot of dumb people getting stuff done. If there are, he doesn't convince me that they are much of a problem (hypothetical good teachers that teach ignorance isn't an argument, it's not even an anecdote). And even if they are a problem, he doesn't offer a solution.

If anyone was able to takeaway anything useful from this article, please share.

So, when is MS purchasing Reddit?
Yes! I did basically that with a Logi C920 something + a 42" TV.

And yes the perspective is wrong, things don't line up, objects and textures don't match, but after a few minutes it doesn't matter, basically as long as you get the horizontal plane right the brain just adjusts and still believes you're looking through a window.

What do you mean, there are many resources that provide access to various satellite images. In general satellite imaging is not really that sort of hushhush industry it maybe was 50 years ago.

That's almost certainly the case. "What can we do that has an observable effect we can demonstrate as us being responsive, but doesn't have a significant cost [to ourselves]".

It's the same as any other "this shouldn't be done, but a manager asks me to do it". If you aren't ready to die on that hill as I would, then there is nothing you can do. I'd easily take that fight but that's coming from a very privileged position (i.e., I'd not risk not having food on the table if I said no when a manager asked me to add keyword moderation or a dark-pattern cookie banner).
This is a great analysis that really cleared up the impact of that memo for that me. You clearly know but for any readers who aren’t clear: that memo is the opinion of one engineer at google, and far from the (apparent) opinion of the relevant execs
Running on a TiBook G4 I'm guessing? I always wanted one of those but couldn't afford it back in the day. Its design has barely aged at all, it basically defined what a modern laptop looked like, and that persists even now.

The comment they replied to already explicitly stated that the EU has jurisdiction. They're not pre-empting anything.
libdispatch idea of using specific queues for serialized concurrency is nice, but its abstractions on top are unfortunately not as efficiently designed as it could be; `dispatch_source` doesn't allow for direct completion based IO schemes (io_uring, IOCP), pushing to a `dispatch_queue` always requires a heap allocation, `dispatch_semaphore/dispatch_sync` blocks the thread instead of yielding asychronously (can cause "thread explosion"). Systems like Go don't have these constraints I don't think.
I take this to mean that in the UK there is some sort of government propaganda pushing for mass heat pump adoption? How interesting.

In the US it seems like a bottoms up effort, where homeowners and small businesses are gradually learning shout the benefits of heat pumps (especially air sourced mini splits) and voluntarily upgrading to them. Though in some states, energy efficiency rebates and new building codes do encourage them (especially for those communities targeting net zero).

You're right though that it's not right for every situation. Renters, for example, often have to live with resistive electric space heaters if the apartment has insufficient heating.
What is someone with vip status? I could be an anti-social weak willed loser respected by nobody, but if I have good health insurance in the US I'm going to get preferential treatment over someone with worse health insurance regardless of whatever other social status goings on there are. Is having good health insurance social status? Or is it just having good health insurance?

I'm not from the US so the hospital example doesn't really apply to me, it's far more egalitarian here, but even in the US I think the above counterexample shows some cracks in the notion.

Furthermore, I don't think a lack of advantages are the same as repercussions. Repercussions are active negatives, where lack of advantages are inactive positives. This is specifically what I was asking about, and why I don't feel like these examples are getting at "repercussions".
Fair enough. This does sound like a more reasonable concern than their other antitrust fines.

I could be wrong. I can't locate the source I found originally. Online chatter for a city planning forum said around 20k.

Did Spez ban trump's sub or did Reddit?

There are inevitable more than one Spez at Reddit, but I doubt all 2000+ employees are like that.
1. Haven't read too deeply, but aren't we working with FOL in this type system anyway (Well, Henkin semantics of HOL, I believe)

2. I guess the major semantic difference is that in one, you define a family of PERs for terms in a given type, giving each type separate notion of equality. In the other you define equality over all terms and types are just a predicates on terms. I honestly am not well versed enough in logic to understand what it means in that sense.

If you want a more expressive logic, use a language with dependant types. Although I wish to see more powerful type systems become more mainstream, I don't expect every language to aim for that.
This isn't probably really used much these days, but yeah, it was/is called Overlay mode.

The graphics card isn't necessarily decoding the MPEG data (though that could have been an option in the olden days too), but it is likely scaling it and spitting it out in the given-colored pixels faster than you could've done with just software back in the days.

The AVS visualizer for Winamp also supported this; if you set the overlay color to black, you could have all of the black text on your desktop be very, very funkily animated.
Headless means the CMS itself is an API.

It can be hard to visualize so people may ask what could this look like?

From there a headless cms can use the api to render the data as a site. It can be static, or dynamic.
> When I worked in networking, and later web dev work I found Reddit to be a TERRIBLE place for Q & A type situations.

Training in this sense is about how people use language not what is the right answer. Among other sources - the exact thing you describe is a contributor to some of the things within the (in my opinion misnamed) internal taxonomy of 'hallucinations'.

Right or wrong - reddit is human beings using (mostly english) language to speak to each other, and so if you want to train an ML model to do that - its a great source.
It is funny for me that you have to include statements like "I do not suggest conspiracy", or "I am not conspiracy theorists", just as if suspecting that corporations or governments are up to no good is a bad thing. Quite the opposite. It is common sense.
The disinformation battle has been won on "their" end. Suspecting a "Conspiracy" is considered a bad thing.
That's true but I think you're overestimating how careful people will be in their curation. There are tons of LLM-powered bots on twitter and reddit already, and no one is bothering to delete the output.

Also, the curation process counts as "real human input" itself, so I don't think it contradicts my point.
Secure CI for Gitlab with Firecracker MicroVMs
If you are going to do all this, you might be better off getting a half of a steno keyboard, plover, and use https://github.com/Abkwreu/plover-left-hand-modifiers/blob/m.... Essentially, it allows every shortcut to be typed in two strokes/presses of keys, and using only the left hand.

I have access to/can input nearly any shortcut, punctuation, modifier, reg key, numpad, number bar, arrow keys, etc all on one hand, and the system is very easy to learn. I don't care about shortcuts anymore as they are all nearly the same difficulty to input, and I never need to move my hand to do it. This takes only a few hours to learn at most.

Hitting ctrl+t on a keyboard once is more wrist/finger movement than I normally see all day using this.
How does Google use Reddit's data in its models? You can access most (all?) Reddit pages without hitting Reddit at all via the "Cached" link in the search results.

Just use a r-ANS entropy coder with feedback skipping symbols that would result in a ban from being possible to encode at that moment... I think.

Unless I've gotten confused about the limits of dynamic prediction abilities in ANS.

I think it's just that the encoder and decoder run in opposite directions through the encoded symbols, but read-ahead during decoding shouldn't be a problem...

niches and hobbies are dominated by beginners and ideas that can't be challenged (theres a word for this, I cant remember what it is). people aren't just talking about their experience on major subs though.

the opinions i run into real life can be very different then with people in the real world. the communities online are made up of the kinds of people who spend their time online, and the content you see on reddit is generally from the people who spend enough time on reddit that they want to browse new. these arent average people. only a minority professionals are actually engaged in reddit. even those ive seen run off because they don't agree with the acceptable opinions
Not necessarily. Machiavelli certainly seems the type to play to the Medicis while simultaneously showing them up in a subtle manner.

Did he believe what he wrote in the Prince was noble or just? Probably not, based on his democratic tendencies.

Imagine if you wrote a send-up of Silicon Valley VCs (for example) and tried to be subtly ridiculous about it, but they took your work extremely well and even applied it. Is that not the most successful and hilarious satire of all?

I love this theory from a conspiracy angle. But one issue is that they didn't cut off API access, they just made it more expensive. This creates a moat that small app developers can't cross, but not much of one for a funded AI company. If you that believed reddit's corpus was the key to training your own model, you'd just pay the money. It cuts off the wrong kind of person it would be targeted against if his theory is right.
`You searched for “car review”, but you’ve watched a lot of super Mario videos lately. How about you watch more of those instead of what you searched for?’

History is not on Donald Trump’s side
I find the article amusing but it feels like it is missing a clear closing statement about why this matters.

My take is that "dumb and get things done" is dangerous because they can do harm quickly, unlike dumb and lazy which at least doesn't get on the way. These are the ones that pump thousands of lines of spaghetti code, copy pasting all over the place and creating a unmaintainable big ball of mud. They are the ones that implement the first solution that comes to mind before considering alternatives. Are the ones that never refactor or tidy their code and simply add another if statement.

The irony is that in certain companies these people might be seen as heroes. After all, isn't it more impressive to produce hundreds of complicated lines of code in half the time rather than a few dozen of clean and maintainable lines of code in twice the time.
Note that your website doesn't have a scrollbar, which is terrible for UX.
I think he's bullshitting even on API costs to maintain. They could just put it into reddit premium "want to use API ? Pay few bucks and use app of your choosing". Even $2 would easily cover the cost of lost ads and such. Then a much more expensive tier above for "data ingestors".
This exactly, it’s unuseable and will only get worse. When “old” stops working it’ll be a sad, sad day. This blackout has made me realize how deeply I’ll miss reddit.

The thing is, to me, reddit would never be a viable enterprise without the volunteers moderation. If reddit had to pay for that they’d never ipo. And if they think the moderators will stay and be exploited they’re wrong. Thus if they go through with this they’ll fail as a public company. There is no there where they going.
I don't dispute your experience. However, for me the old grid provided a two-dimensional spatial hierarchy (if that's a thing) that made it easy for me to quickly drill down to what I wanted. The new list version has a one-dimensional flattened hierarchy with many more categories to consider at the top level. With so many choices my brain shuts down and I just resort to search.
Agreed -- before making any major purchase I start at Reddit. The Internet as you say is a dumpster fire of blogspam top-10 lists where the top of the page is just STR."Updated in \{current_year}!"
Self-promo successful - just bought your book on Amazon! ;)

I actually did Zombies, Run! over the pandemic and we had a great time doing it - honestly one of the few examples of gamification that works. Really it's so good that I didn't even think of it even as gamification, which is saying something. I also worked in the game industry for years and gluing on trophies or points onto some otherwise irrelevant task is not true gamification, it's just the most basic example of "if you measure it, they will do it".

Looking forward to reading your book.

Reddit's terms are irrelevant. Unless Reddit requires a login to view its site (which would also prevent Google indexing), anyone can view the data without agreeing to the terms.

The only question is copyright, but I find it hard to argue that LLM training is not sufficiently transformative in 99% of cases.
Right, this is sold as a technique against vote manipulators (to not let them know if their bots are working) but it requires a lot of trust in the operator not abusing it.
When you emailed me about this a few weeks ago I played around a bit with the shader, and just creating fewer blobs made the problem go away (reducing "for (int i = 0; i < 15; i += 1) {" to 5 in the "void main"), but I didn't really have the time to investigate in-depth or see what kind of visual effects that would give (dealing with this minified JS isn't exactly fun and I never worked with OpenGL shaders either), but just FYI.

Good to hear it's not just me though (and the effects also aren't disabled for me either).
Nextcloud Introduces AI Features with Privacy Built In
I have seen people honestly suggest that it doesn't matter exactly what they're adding to the software, or how they add it, as long as they're adding something that someone else sort of asked for.

I think this post might be useful for those people – a way to suggest "but what if not?"
And I'm convinced we don't even want "general purpose AI". We want AI for a variety of specific purposes. Admittedly these LLMs are a lot broader than I ever imagined, but they're still limited to generating text. I wouldn't want ChatGPT to drive my car.

It makes sense for Dark Souls games because multiplayer is a lot less optional. Player names will appear in your game, and turning this feature off really hurts the experience.

Their hamfisted approach leaves a lot to be desired. I have a feeling it is a product of being designed and implemented by non-native English speakers.
In Ross Perot's defense (I know...) there's an argument that without him we wouldn't have the iPhone. He provided NeXT with some critical funding at a time when their technology was still outside the computing mainstream. Without NeXT, no MacOS X. No OS X, no iOS.
> LLVM is because they don’t want GPLv3.

LLVM and Clang are also about having a compiler stack that provides the information you need for a modern graphical IDE.

For instance, GCC had made some decisions that made it difficult to point to which line of code caused a particular error message.

Apple's Chris Lattner covered this in a 2007 tech talk he gave at Google introducing LLVM and the (then) new Clang project.

HN comments have an air of authority because we so frequently do see reasoned, expert opinions. But it's still hard to mix up mere speculation, shooting-from-the-hip thoughts and well-thought-out comments. It's more pernicious here. On other sites, we routinely see incredibly low-effort and naive comments so we're on guard more: there's simply more mixed-up communities/contexts with different standards to train us to be more skeptical.

I wonder if it's the case.

It's certainly quicker to learn things with LLMs but they hit limitations fairly quickly.

Every project a have worked on has a huge backlog, on launch the MVP is often trimmed back to be even more minimal.

Launch and project end seem dictated by budget.

Maybe we will just end up with software that is more complete.

Did previous productivity tools such as intellisense or before it, IDEs reduce the amount of software built or the amount people were paid, I think the opposite happened.
No its not. Its metaphor for truth which is unable to be expressed with precise language - because we lack understanding.
Yeah they've been trying to kill old.reddit and third party apps for a long time. The experience degrades more and more as they add new features that are only fully supported (or supported at all) on new.reddit and the official app. This has been going on for years.

I'm convinced that this would have happened with or without OpenAI, especially with the mirage of an IPO on the horizon. Controlling the client to show ads and siphon data is just too valuable. Maybe the OpenAI thing pushed them to speed up the process.
You want to google "anti-competitive practices".

Though I don't think Reddit is doing that right now. We would hear this happening a lot more if this was implemented site wide.

It's more likely that the mods of the specific subreddit have updated their own Automoderator rules to filter such posts.
