I think a big chunk of this is prioritization of resources in a way Apollo doesn't have to worry about. I highly doubt reddit has like utterly mediocre/shit devs. I think it's more likely that works are being prioritized in a way that shafts mods (who don't pay money) towards the goals of the reddit company to ipo (more ads and engagement with their first-party platforms). We had stupid shit like reddit coin and reddit gold and random other small features that are primarily to make money on the first party platform. Apollo's spec is much smaller in comparison, in which the users of Apollo are effectively paying for a smoother integration with whatever Reddit already built.
Right now if you had a perfect reddit clone and it didn't lag and didn't throw 500 or some stuff you'd be golden (provided you could scale)
The rational choice for Reddit is to charge at least as much per user as they lose in revenue opportunity.

Consider that the users of third party apps may skew towards higher value since they were engaged enough to install an app.
There are two definitions of "we" in the studies I linked, one for the US and one for the world.

What definition of "we" did we have in mind, and if you have a different one why didn't you state what you mean instead of asking questions that have clear answers?

If anything that has been the example the US has set for the rest of the world by "spreading democracy" through regime change and war. The correct way to spread democracy is to be a shining example of a free society by being prosperous without killing people that have done you no harm.
> I think everyone should move away at some point of their life, but permanent city-life isn't for everyone.

I think this is the key, people should experience different cultures, lifestyles, and social opportunities. I'm an introvert myself, but I'm passionate about certain topics and enjoy discussing them with people who are also passionate about them.

Finding these niche communities or people who shared my ideas was impossible for me where I grew up, which was much less densely populated than where I live now. Now I have access to additional sharing of ideas, gatherings, and social bonds that I couldn't have imagined before I came to an urban area.

I never thought of myself as a city person, but after living in a rural area, a midsize city, a huge city, and a small town, I've found that my current large to midsize city is where I thrive.
Reddit will simply replace the mods if this becomes more than an annoyance.

What the 2 day blackout does is it nudges people to explore alternatives. With this, Reddit management has lowered the barriers to exit. When the next boycott comes, migration for many subreddits will be easier.

> Why should they foot the bill for the API calls? So they have to crack down on some 3rd party apps we all took for granted and kill a few apps off. Sucks but at the end of the day, will it really matter in 6 months?

This would be all fine and well if their official app weren't garbage. They do everything in their power to push you to the mobile app, but they seemingly haven't improved it since its inception.
Anyone know what percentile that corresponds with?

(specifically https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/demo/tables/wealth/... , which tellingly enough only bothers to have a $500k+ bucket for the tail — roughly the top quartile)
One of the fun things about reddit is that if mods decide to extend it indefinitely, users are free to create their own subreddits and move their conversations there. Any mod who thinks they're ultimately important in the grand scheme of things is deluding themselves.

I would have been inclined to believe we were close with the initial version, but lately, GPT4 has been embarrassing to use on the chat interface.
I don't think the problem with ditching the existing mods for new ones has much to do with how users would perceive the shift. You have to ask how the hell Reddit would vet that number of replacements in any way, how they'd find the required number of able replacements, and not just people who would (through incompetence or malice) run things into the ground. That's doubly true for the mega-subs which genuinely require a LOT of constant moderation, specialized automated tools, and so on.

That doesn't seem like a feasible path to me, and I think if it was remotely possible it would have already happened. The only way it COULD work is to get rid of the volunteer mod system and replace it with paid mods... and I don't think Reddit has the funds for that.
Well, I may be boycotting reddit forever, I guess. Had enough.

I can say from experience, that when there is money to be made, or commercial advantage to be had, some group will be on it before any news or any report shows it. On the other hand, when there are losses, and big mouths on big mics are trying to make a public case, you better find a team and make sure you know where you stand, because it is not going to be fair, or pretty.

Indeed, you could even use a piece tree just like in the blog but you store additional information in each piece which tell the renderer how to layout the associated text. My understanding is that most rich text editors represent the text as a node-based tree anyway.
So basically, a native app where the publisher has full control can get metadata important to advertisers, especially enabling third-party anti-fraud processes. Makes sense, and thanks for the enlightenment.
> Unfortunately from what I see in history it's not usually until people are having trouble feeding their families that the people seize power back from government and short of that nothing will change.

If you want to be more cynical, how many of those "seizures of power" result in positive change vs neutral or negative? Even setting aside whoever dies in the revolution itself?

I don't trust anyone pushing for revolution vs organized campaigning within the system because of how often it just doesn't work for the better.
16k context sounds exciting. The day I can throw a whole book at it and ask it arbitrary questions about it will be great. With 16k we are getting into full article realm and that is already incredibly useful.

I hear a lot of heterosexual male SW engineers lament this, but I find it not true in practice. We live in a world dominated (and even inundated) by messaging that navigating technology is a recipe for success. It usually pays decently to well. Programmers don't have dating problems from their profession.
> To lose 95.8% of your site (judged by the 8467 out of 8838 subreddits gone dark)

That's out of the 8838 that made a pledge to go dark. Those ~400 are just the ones that went "restricted" (read-only) instead of private, or flaked on the pledge.

There are over a million subreddits, the blackout doesn't even reach one percent of them.

The opposite.

Bid-ask spreads are inversely proportional to volume. The less volume there is in a marketplace, the larger the bid-ask spreads get.

If you trade in the Options market, you'll see 30% to 50% differences in bid-ask spreads on the thinly traded stocks. Similarly, video game used-market has been dying (or at least, the marketplace owned by Gamestop), so we're seeing that lesser volume with an increase in bid-ask spread.

Play an obscure trading card game like Magi Nations, you'll see the same thing. There's just not a lot of players, not a lot of traders, so the spreads are huge.

Play a popular game with a popular marketplace like Magic the Gathering, and the bid/ask spreads are much closer.

-------------

The less popular a marketplace is, the longer inventory will sit in warehouses (leading to higher risks and possibly larger losses for the market-makers). Thereby, forcing Gamestop to increase the bid-ask spread.

When Gamestop was popular 10 to 20 years ago, there was enough volume to keep the used-buy vs used-sell prices closer together.
To speak frankly, what are women doing with all this supposed surplus of education? I don't exactly see turning tides in terms of women beginning to dominate markets or leadership positions because they're starting businesses and startups and taking over boards and middle management positions.

Anecdotally, I've seen these single women, they're all waiting until they're past their 20s to find a partner and they expect them all to be complete people by the time they meet them.

I don't see as much of a concept of growing up together off the foundations of who you are as a person today as I've heard it expressed from older colleagues I've worked with.

Plainly, women are asking for too much, and too late in life.

HN isn't a tech news board - the site guidelines explicitly differentiate from that in the first paragraph: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

This article suffers from a baity title and sensational opening but then gets pretty substantive and, I think many readers would say, interesting.

Topics like this have always appeared on HN and as long as (1) they don't come up so often as to feel repetitive and (b) the article is substantive, I think it's ok.

> 99.99% of reddit users have no idea who spez is

That's why people do things like black outs and protests, so people can learn who people are and what is happening.

> probably wouldn't care if they learned about his shenanigans

That's information is associated with protests, so people can decide if they care.

I can actually understand how most wouldn't care about this. This change isn't that important to me except in that's it's another stepping stone on the death of the free and open web. Twitter API, Reddit API, real ID on Facebook, probably countless other things. What we expected to have in the 2010's is going fast.

If you look at the font, it's quite clearly extremely "irregular" in a way that children's handwriting is, and comic book speech bubbles very much are not meant to be.

Indeed, the creator used some comics as a starting point, but then tried to redraw the strokes with a mouse (!), and intentionally drew them wrong, not keeping them straight, etc.

So the goal was not to reproduce comic speech bubbles at all, but to create something instead "strange and childlike". You would never want to use it for actual comic book lettering.

From an interview [1]:

> They wanted all kinds of fonts – a lot of them strange and childlike. One program was called Microsoft Bob, which was designed to make computers more accessible to children. I booted it up and out walked this cartoon dog, talking with a speech bubble in Times New Roman. Dogs don’t talk in Times New Roman! Conceptually, it made no sense.

> So I had an idea to make a comic-style text and started looking at Watchmen and Dark Knight Returns, graphic novels where the hand lettering was like a typeface... Instead, I looked at various letters and tried to mimic them on screen. There were no sketches or studies – it was just me drawing with a mouse, deleting whatever was wrong.

> I didn’t have to make straight lines, I didn’t have to make things look right, and that’s what I found fun. I was breaking the typography rules. My boss Robert Norton, whose mother Mary Norton wrote The Borrowers, said the “p” and “q” should mirror each other perfectly. I said: “No, it’s supposed to be wrong!”

A much better way to prevent most school shootings (which preserves far more civil rights imo) would be to harden schools as targets. If we’re going to live in a society where anyone can buy a machine gun it’s insanity that it hasn’t been done already.

Add thicker doors. Remove entrances. Add metal detectors. Guard those doors. It’s not foolproof but if shooters start getting stopped at the entrance maybe kids can stop being slaughtered.
Hey, sorry. You were right. I didn't read TFA and just jumped into the comments with outdated opinions. I'm a bit surprised that he'd go back to them, honestly. Would much rather he turn his talents and Appolo towards making the Fediverse easier to use.
Pixelfed introduces new feature allowing Instagram users to import their content
I haven't really had any luck yet. I was a Farker back in the day, but went to Reddit while a lot of other people were going to Digg. Back then I loved Reddit as a social news site, but now I really dislike it because it's mostly a meme and image aggregator. (IMO it was the memes, image macros (Advice Animals) and meta references that killed that site.)

That said, I like PinkBike.com for MTB stuff and Hacker News for tech stuff. Those are really the only two forums where I actually leave comments these days.
Cheering for them to do that for r/nba already. Mods blacked out the sub on the last day of the NBA finals. Zero common sense.
I don't know that I agree with the author's assessment that this is "disgusting"; it just seems like a shift in wealth from bankers to commercial real estate companies, and I am not particularly sympathetic to either. Maybe there is another angle here.
I know, I meant it'd have been better if GPT4 got a slash but for my usecase 3.5 is still cost-efficient, basically would've been happy with either of them getting a price cut
Solar power satellites made a lot more sense back when solar panels were expensive. If the launch costs were lower, then would get the most bang for efficient panels by launching them into space and getting more utilization from them.

Solar panels are now so cheap that the expensive part is mounting them. There are more efficient panels but they aren't worth the cost. The result is that can put panels on a much larger area.
It'll only be for two days. Which means it's exactly as effective as gas boycotts.

If you query Wikipedia or Google for an hour on a topic you know about there’s much less of a chance you’ll get inaccurate information than with ChatGPT where it’s almost a given. Assuming people get some basic training it won’t be hard to ask someone in the class about a baseball record and then let them see ChatGPT hallucinate the players and dates.
For me, the biggest annoyance was not being able to Zapier in new entries into a drip campaign. I just refused to use providers I couldn’t zapier together. For the section of the market that is small time, I am not going to implement custom API integration. No zap, no deal.
They weren't though. The bad questions stayed buried in new with 0 votes. Removing questions literally only affected people who browsed new and most people don't browse new.

Reddit has tools to hide posts you personally don't want to see without affecting the entire subreddit with silly rules. If you browse new you should be aware of these things.
> What the 2 day blackout does is it nudges people to explore alternatives

I don't think 2 days is significant enough for that slash I don't think an alternative to reddit exists given the fact that it has millions of users and millions of different niche subreddits
One underrecognized effect of all this (speaking from personal experience) is the fatigue that all the red tape generates. The closer you get to residency, the worse the paperwork/bureaucracy load gets.

Eventually you get jaded enough and tired of it that you'd rather just go home than keep begging a place that clearly doesn't want you to let you in.
In the YouTube video in a sibling comment the rebuttal was that most chemical processes are continuous processes and require constant power, i.e. they become new baseload.

Hydrogen generation does not have a flexible power demand, because as you the electrolysis ramps up and down efficiently goes to zero.
Reddit CEO's fragile ego was hurt during the AMA and his personal account was downvoted into oblivion. All he had to do was keep his mouth shut and tank a couple of news cycles of bad press.

This 2 day moratorium is now much more likely to become a multi-week protest/blackout. Reddit board should look at issuing a "no confidence" vote on this guy.
It’s not about revenue. As people have mentioned already, the CEO said the blackout has had almost no revenue impact.

it’s funny to create a protest and hoping for change by showing Reddit that the community can walk away…and then using reddit to organize it.

You are basically showing you can’t think of any good alternatives to organizing or chatting with people. So you will continue to use Reddit, even during a protest specifically about not using reddit.

“we will leave you if you treat us badly” and then also “I have to use your product cause I can’t find anything else.” Doesn’t work well together.

Some observations:

1. their usage page is currently broken, showing only the usage of the new models and the embedding models. usage for the deprecated models are not included now.

2. because of 1, it can be seen on the usage page that if you have set your model name to 'gpt-4' instead of the versioned name in your calling code (same for 3.5), you have already been using the new models for the past two days!
My biggest problem is the use of "dark patterns" in the UX of POS systems.

Firstly, a tip should be something that is asked for AFTER the service has been provided, as it's meant to both reward and incentivize good service. Modern POS systems have broken this construct by prompting for a tip at places like Panera, Five Guys, Starbucks, and others before any service has been received.

Secondly, a tip should be directed to those who provided the service. Yet, in the POS systems described above, there's no way to know who is receiving the tip. Oftentimes even the manager doesn't know.

Lastly, IF the above is going to be violated, then, at the very least, a customer should be assured that the staff behind the counter will not see the tip amount right away. As it is, I'm made to worry that if I don't tip well, the staff will see it and adjust the service I get.

The whole process is guided by dark patterns that seek to leverage guilt and the threat of being perceived as a bad customer to extract higher tips in lieu of raising wages and adjusting prices to match.
It's not in the US, but it seems some people have become socially fearful. I think that there is an artificial sense of risk possibly driving by 24x7 news and social media that prey on people's fears and anxieties.
I've been wondering what the true solution is. I see more and more restaurants removing tips from the equation and just charging more and supposedly paying their employees better. But that's still a tiny portion of all restaurants. I wonder if one day we'll see a state ban tipping (or at least asking for tips) and institute some type of pay restructure so tipped employees don't get screwed. But what that looks like, I have no idea.

Tipping has really gone from a nice gesture to workers to a whole other beast where customers are massively subsidizing the pay for workers. It's a lose-lose for anyone but the businesses.
