So in general, am I right in assuming that any advanced compute work would be a no-go on Apple Silicon?

I am working on a 3D SDF renderer for games (fully compute driven), and my older PC is starting to croak. I was thinking of going Mac Studio 2, but if their GPU doesn't support memory barriers and such (even though I am not using them yet), I guess it's not worth the risk?
I have several Seiko 5s, the oldest is around 20 years old. Never been opened.

The trick is to use them in turn regularly.

I also have an inherited Omega which is 60+ years old. This was serviced once when I got it, 25 years ago.
Another implication of this is that its impossible for 2 mutually incompatible copies of the same package to exist in the same environment. If packageA needs numpy 1.20 and packageB needs numpy 1.21, you're stuck.
Unhappiness is the natural conclusion of unrealistic expectations meeting realty.
We're not in a tech bubble, but it does look like the industry is trying to fake their way into one.

You can't trust ChatGPT et al to answer questions in a way that won't end in a lawsuit, and you can't make quantum computers do hardly anything.

Yet.

But the industry pretends this is all very worthwhile, even if in the end, technical mirages abound and we don't actually know if these things are useful.

I do want these to succeed, but we're so far away from them actually doing so that the ultra hype seems way too premature.

Any bubble around them now is a mirage that very well might evaporate.

The tech industry gets excited every few years. They're just a lot louder now than usual about it, because they desperately need to keep their shareholders happy.

Remember how exciting iPads were? Does anyone care now? Nobody talks about them anymore. They are still trying to make gigantic immersive 3D googles a thing, but the screen door effect, and motion sickness are probably not going to be solved any time soon. (Although I will defer to the mixed reality ones that at least keep your brain and your physical location reasonably intact.)

That can easily happen with the effort going into this over-promotion of late. They're trying to make any amount of money before the big crash.
This is what I'd like to know. Based on mod comments in r/Toronto I suspect their regex is literally "ends with ?" and they have to manually approve every question.

They invented work for themselves that doesn't even need to exist and can be solved with the voting system. Every rule change they've made seems to be in an effort to make themselves relevant and take on unnecessary work. This seems like a common theme with Reddit moderators - they give themselves more work to do that nobody is asking them to do in order to justify their existence.
Ouch a couple of people didn't like my straightforward observation.

The thing is google is still working just as it was ... the fact the results are dead atm is beside the point.

A person visiting old bookmarks to reddits that are unavailable at the moment could say the same, their bookmarks aren't working. I wouldn't author an article about bookmarks not working as such ...
Ditto (in that I learned Eagle and switched to KiCad a few years ago). KiCad is great! Way better than Eagle.
people complained just about as much about moderation on reddit in 2010 as they do today
Pointfree was my programming font for many years, thank you so much!

Nowadays I use a more classical monospace font, but I really liked to program in "Comic Sans" so now I use a font inspired by it for italics in my terminal.
That wasn't the point lol. Read his comment. It wouldn't even make any sense. What do you think you're fed ? alien data ?
A change in start time would be more impactful, so that he could ramp up charging his users
If we got rid of First Past The Post voting, third parties could be viable because there wouldnt be a spoiler effect. More players involved would increase the chances of fresh blood and new ideas.

Instead, we are locked into a 2 party system filled with literal fossils. it's obvious to me when there is a tech related congressional hearing that both mainstream political parties are holding us back.

I guess that was good to have people from the cold war Era involved when Russia started pushing Ukraine around. Like a clock that's frozen in time is right twice a day...

Electoral reform is doable one state at a time, some states already use Rankes Choice voting.
Wow I can't fathom the .com being worth that much. Did you manage to do any sort of math on whether the .com has helped bring in $170k of sales? Or how many years it would take to break even.
I believe the game also runs on a real Game Boy
Has anyone here got hired through workatastartup?
I am curious if anyone here has been hired through Workatastartup. I am planning to use the platform to apply for startups, but I haven't heard of anyone in my friends circle having any success with it
That's exactly what it's going to become. Lop in the eternal September of new users aging-in every year that don't even know what it used to be like and they're set.
We still don't know what the impact will be of Instagram's upcoming Twitter clone.

It does look like more of a hybrid between Twitter and Reddit with the threaded conversations and nerd-friendly API layer i.e. ActivityPub.
>not of the underlying reality (which it has never experienced).

You've never experienced the "underlying reality" either.
It's not impossible though. The surgical center of Oklahoma can do it: https://surgerycenterok.com/

Their prices are all-inclusive with followups on case something goes wrong and therapy for procedures that need it.

The founder was on econtalk (https://www.econtalk.org/keith-smith-on-free-market-health-c...) where he also claimed that their prices have been steady and that surgeons earn more there than at other hospitals. Meanwhile insurances don't want to work with them because they don't get to advertise how much money was saved from the Brutto cost based on their negotiation with the provider because they would have to pay the sticker price like everyone else.
And they’re proud of it. From their own website:

> Macellum’s campaign resulted in the addition of 4 of 13 directors. Also, as a byproduct of the pressure applied during the campaign, the company sold non-core assets equal to approximately 75% of the market capitalization. Macellum’s price objective were met and we exited the position at the beginning of 2021. Subsequently, a fractured board and new CEO were unable to oversee and execute the turnaround plan Macellum outlined during our campaign and results deteriorated.
It's almost like we have a problem with the workers (producing the UGC) being separated from the means of production where the owners of reddit are simply trying to extract more and more money from the users who produce the content.

I, for one, am shocked and surprised.

I'm not a big fan of boycotts generally. Most of the time they're performative. But this one seems to have teeth. I hope this goes on indefinitely rather than than having an end date that the owners can simply wait out.

Reddit should not be an expensive site to maintain. It's text and some CDN media, basically. There's no reason it can't run profitably but the owners simply want to extract as much value in the short term to increase the IPO price. Short-term profits.
Oh man. Crowley used to be such a good rabbit hole in the geocities days. There were so many weird people obsessed with him.
I feel like I finish most of my projects. Granted, most of them are small, command-line tools. When they're done they're done.

What are your thoughts I projects that haven't had any updates in a few years?

For me, it was slashdot to Digg to reddit...
It seems like they realized the value of user content for AI training too late, and are trying to hamfistedly lock down the golden egg goose for their upcoming IPO.
Investing borrowed money is always a risk and it is your responsibility to do your research and have good financial planning to be able to pay the debts. It’s not just regulations that may impact the market. Climate change, financial crises, some big business shutting down in your area and reducing the demand etc etc.
I've only moderated small subreddits and even I know the chaos that results from not having bot-driven subreddit management tools. You may hate Automoderator when it deletes your carefully crafted post for whatever reason, but I guarantee you will hate Reddit itself when your favorite subs become overrun with illegal and off-topic spam.

The race will be between Reddit admins recognizing the degradation of the user experience and the outflow of users who don't want to visit their favorite subreddit because they keep seeing decapitated heads and underage pornography and every conversation is off topic.
As an aside, when I see people beat themselves up for not being able to face their struggles with the stoic reflection of Marcus Aurelius, I want to remind them that unlike them, Mr Aurelius was extremely wealthy, one of the most powerful men in the world, and absolutely blasted on opium for most of his day.
Me too. I was very confused when I heard that number. I was thinking maybe 200 people if they have multiple dev teams and a corporate marketing/sales side for advertising.

My employer has slightly fewer people, but we have dozens of clients with sites/apps far more complex than reddit. It just doesn't make sense.
I've seen this in reinforcement learning often, where the output of the model becomes its own training data. Once you hit the edge of the replay buffer things sometimes take a stark turn for the worse, as the model's initial failures are forgotten.
I'm fairly sure if you try to login with f@you.com it'll try to log you in and fail a few times and let you make an account.

^ The Machine Stops is really shockingly good at its predictions. When reading, remember that moving pictures were brand new, and color photography had just become a thing you could do outside a lab / highly specialized setups. Radio communication had just started to be used by governments. While it's describing the life of a fully-online Influencer™.
It’s an asset they can resell, and he validated the $170k price himself by paying that much.
From what I've heard OpenAI currently does not have enough free GPUs to train GPT-5. There are also unsolved technical challenges such as supporting very long context lengths without accuracy degradation, or efficient access to real-time information.

But even ignoring the above, it's not clear that training on more data will dramatically improve the quality of the model. You want high quality data to get high quality model. I'm not sure if much more high quality data exists in the world than what they already have access to.

It's possible that to make it smarter we should train it on video - predicting the next video frame might be a more challenging task, requiring different world models leading to deeper understanding of reality.
FTA:

> the number of Reddits that have gone dark expanded from around 7,000 to more than 8,400

Annoyingly, there's no context for these numbers. Is this 10% of all subreddits? 90%? Does it cover half of all users? They're meaningless numbers that "sound big."
Nobody expects it come without a cost. But I would sure as hell prefer paying roughly the same in taxes as what my premium is in order to not have to worry about leaving the doctor or hospital with a lifetime of debt.
Now that I'm home and had some time to look properly, I guess this[0] is what you mean?

That's.. not very nice =(. I also don't see how it applies here, even if you do assume bad faith --- who exactly am I pestering? I asked you one question, then I've been having a back-and-forth with emodendroket --- a simple one-for-one. I'll also have you note that they chose to engage me. I'm certainly not following people even cross-thread, let alone cross-platform, pestering them until I get a response and demanding they justify their personal preferences.

I'm trying to have a legitimate conversation; it was my belief that intellectual discussion was encouraged here. If you don't want to discuss, don't respond, it's pretty much that simple. I'm not going to chase you down. However, if you are going to engage, I would appreciate if you don't accuse me of trolling on the basis of a disagreement and some weak notion of bad faith.

Why are we talking about selling ads on a thread entirely about a website whose whole shtick is that they don't sell ads.
Signaling that the blackout would only last 2 days for most subs, was bad strategy. Similarly, signaling that you think you can wait out the blackout is bad strategy.
While it is pointless, I would love driving an excellent electric motor coupled to a manual transmission and rear wheel drive. All the fun, none of the dinosaurs.

It Comes at Night didn't have anything come at night. It was derivative of everything else in the genre to the point of being a snore. I was so disappointed. One of my least favorite A24 films.

I suppose I was expecting peak Shyamalan, but A24.
I personally don't think we should expect more from a "richer" user as soon as they're following the license of OSS (or expect anything different at all, regardless users' background or purpose).

It just doesn't make sense, not even morally.
There’s an intense expectation placed on these folks. If dad was a rockstar banker dude, junior is expected to be on a path of similar prestige.

Banking used to be populated with lots of jobs that require compliance and attention to rules, but not necessarily intelligence. Success was defined as being one of the 200 VPs at a regional bank and chilling at the club.
If all their friends are watching said youtube channel and they have to sit quiet at the lunch table, yes they will. I was often the low one on the totem pole as a kid in large part because my parents wouldn't allow me to participate in practically any pop-culture my friends were into. I had to be the relatively quiet one at the lunch table more often than not while everyone else was constantly talking/laughing at references I wasn't allowed to get. It sucked. If I had grown up in the smart-phone age I totally would have used my birthday money/occasional lunch treats to bribe my friends for time on their phones, and not told my parents.

And where do you get "No boundaries at all" from "perhaps you should let your kid watch Mr Beast because it's relatively harmless and allows them to connect with their peers"? You seem to have a very binary mindset.

If letting your kids watch Mr Beast is the deciding factor that makes them incapable of hard work then you're a horrible parent.

It's fascinating seeing the varied (and sometimes quite opposite) replies. I think a good chunk of this comes down to one's personality.

I've had an internal notion of "healthy masochism" for a while — much like what you're saying, where pain is part of the process. And if you go through it enough, and taste the final reward enough times, you almost start to feel the pain as a good thing, or a reward on its own.

On the other hand, there are other personalities (maybe less of them in software, given the amount of pain to be found there :), where the "whip yourself forward" approach plain sucks, and just creates scars rather than promoting growth.

Different strokes for different folks, though I definitely get where you're coming from.
Freeloader is an odd term for a subset of the people who provide what gives Reddit its value.
The capital in monetary terms is destroyed, it's then either bought out by surviving capital and concentrated in actual terms, or destroyed. In either case, the relative concentration of capital increases.

Ya McCarthy borrows heavily from Melville and Faulkner, which he readily cops to. Judge Holden and Ahab have a lot in common.
Fountains pens are nice if you write by hand a lot.

When I was taking humanities classes, I would get assigned 30 page of readings a week -- which meant a ton of summarizing and note taking. I started out using a ballpoint pen, but I would get tired after a few pages of writing.

I decided to invest in a fountain pen, which allowed me to write with a lighter grip. It was a quality of life improvement. It made writing feel pleasurable (similar to how I feel when I see the PDF produced by a LaTeX file).

I started with a $15 Japanese Pilot Metropolitan (not a good pen IMO, the fine nib was too scratchy for me) but eventually moved to a $30 Taiwanese TWSBI ECO and nowadays my go-to is a $30 German Lamy Safari. ($200 pens are a luxury; the sweet spot is ~$30; also Western pens and Asian pens are different in their nib sizing).

Those of you who are using BiC pens -- you can do so much better. However, I will admit that gel pens come pretty close, so if you don't care for fountain pens, gel pens should be your go to.
You don’t think there would still be a huge outcry from folks who are paying $10 a year for Apollo and now have to pay $58?
“Behind every great fortune lies a great crime.”

Nobody has a problem with companies that make money by offering a solid product that people buy. The anger comes from companies gaining money by other means. Any of these might qualify:

- Selling my data.
- Buying out the competition and letting the products die.
- employing manipulative tricks to get extra money from people (especially children).

I’m sure there are many more examples. HN readers don’t hate success, they hate success at any cost.
I know it's probably not for everyone, but I started using Mastodon last week in response to this, and I've had a very positive experience with it. I'm never going back to Reddit.
He's reading it totally backwards. Most general subs I look at are hating on the mods for blacking out. People are creating alternative communities, but on reddit.

Bumpy Skies Ahead: Climate Change Causes Rise in Turbulence, Costing Airlines Millions
From the article: According to new research, clear-air turbulence (CAT) has become more common due to climate change, and it's projected to become an even bigger problem in the future. CAT is particularly tricky to navigate as it forms in cloudless skies and is typically invisible to a plane's radar.
Yep, I got that totally wrong. I wonder how I managed that. Had near total expectation that I was going to find that the other way around when I went back to check. Dose of humility for the day.

>Hoffman continues to display a fundamental misunderstanding of what Reddit is.

No, you and others' wishful thinking lead you to a fundamental misunderstanding of what Reddit and Hoffman are. This is just the standard "how to run a business" MBA crap at play. The website you think Reddit is doesn't exist; and that doesn't even matter, as for them it's just another black box that makes money.
So many concepts!
Nice to see you Taylor!

I'm really enjoying watching the progress on your motor controller!
One Snoo not working around the clock is /u/Cryfi the Snoo responsible for helping my subreddit land and manage AMAs. They were unceremoniously shown the door and none of the mods were notified.

But they don’t cost much. Getting the activity scaled ad rev from these users won’t make them profitable.
I’m not too up to date on what white supremest’s say. There aren’t very many of them and the ones that do exist I’m not too interested in.

What I’m saying is defacing history is bad. Defiling it is bad. It is an affront to our culture and our artifacts and it matters. Create NEW culture with original ideas but don’t vandalize what exists and is important to people. Don’t attempt to change history. Make new history with original ideas. Appropriating existing cultural artifacts isn’t the way.
I used OrCad at university in the 80s. The UI was unintuitive even back then, when there were very few other GUI applications to compare it with. I guess the people who used it a lot back then got used to the UI and developed muscle memory for it. One of my classmates works at Apple, and it is certainly the case for him.
True, but the No Surprises Act has eliminated some of the worst abuses in that area.

No shit hey. Fucking rocket appliances apparently. Charge me $4 for premium and give devs 3 months to implement the changes or something. It feels so blindingly simple that this who mess is mind numbingly stupid.
It wouldn't be the central bank: the central banks (are the only banks that) cannot fail due to the inability to pay out interest.
We have lots of people running around with "open source" projects worried about licenses when in reality they it provides them little if any protection against anything. This is owner of "open source" projects with dead community and fewer users worried about being exploited by "commercial" corporations and thus has foolishly believes that they can entrap "commercial user" with fancy IF/THEN/ELSE, statement in GUI license prompt. If tomorrow AT&T stiffs my bill with an extra $500 I and they refused to reverse the charges, I would probably eat those fees rather then waste more time and effort with money taking AT&T to court to get a judgment against them.

Many of these "open source" projects don't need licensing because no one is using because they don't have anyone to license too. You can't pay a commercial user to use this code even if you wanted to. These projects are akin to the people that start side businesses but spend all the time and money registering for an LLC and SEO advertising but have no work or customers for their side business but appear busy day and night working on their hustle and reports losses on their income tax and pay the accountant extra to setup tax shelters for imaginary income that aren't coming but that's what they saw someone else do and thus they need this and that tax service as well.
Different products. Discord is about socializing. Reddit is an anti social social network. Only weirdos would pay to dress up their Snoovatar.
We were 100% not expecting this to show up on HN front page. :)

In any case, the title is accurate in that it is only a prototype and it was built by Guillaume to explore how Elixir idioms map to set-theoretic types. The UX and syntax do not reflect how the type system would look in Elixir itself (if we get a type system at all).
