Couldn't agree more.

In almost 20 years I've learned that, at least to me, the most challenging group to manage are mid-level developers.

Juniors don't have a lot of experience with complex code, so they just make simple code which I can understand with a glance.

Mid-level developers are often into trying new stuff and fall in love with complex solutions, so the code isn't really easy to understand, but damn if it isn't interesting, full of crazy new libraries, patterns and ideas.

Seniors have a lot of experience with complex code, so they just make simple code which I can understand with a glance.

Not the same. With LLMs you can learn way faster and there's no agenda or lying, for the most part. It may repeat incorrect training data but it won't actually lie to you or sprinkle in agendas.

Whereas with learning online, there's still a bunch of ad revenue, a bunch of noise, a bunch of needless pontification from people who don't teach well but have the authority because of slow bureaucracy.

LLMs get rid of that really quickly. That is why they want to put it back in the box, but it's too late. This software must be open source and disseminated everywhere immediately, it's a huge boost for the species. There can be guard rails of course, but what is being proposed here by the EU is not guard rails. It is mind control.
I barely noticed the blackout. And pretty much every subreddit I use is back up and running.

Blackout had next to zero impact in the short term, and I doubt it will have any lasting impact.
I'm afraid you might be right. Most of the reddit clones or alternatives are cesspits of right wing hate, I guess that's because historically the only people fleeing reddit have been those that are too toxic for reddit to allow.

I'm hopeful the atmosphere changes, but I believe discord or hive might be the best positioned to be the refuge. Discord is awful for anything not transient. Hive has the whole web3 nonsense behind it. But they both seem more....balanced in their audience who uses them.

The thing about alt subs is that you quickly figure out why they're alternatives and not mainstream, and it rarely has anything to do with promotion. I'd add that the very act of promotion changes a small sub into a giant, unwieldy one very quickly.

e.g. Look at anime_titties, the ill-named main alternative to News and Worldnews, and tell me if you can see a problem with that being promoted. I sure can.
The fact that you have to announce timezones is already an error. If I need to schedule a meeting I don't need to select timezones, they're already selected from the timezone I'm part of. There's never room for error by "picking" the wrong thing, since there's nothing to pick. And if my system is programmed with the wrong timezone, then every single meeting will be off-by-N and my calendar will show the wrong time as "now". It would be impossible to miss such an error.

I think your company needs better tools to handle meetings.
I think this is a cheat.

If instead we found someone who (for whatever reason) believed that they just popped into existence, as if from a puff of smoke, at the age of 3... and we did your thought exercise but instead told them "think back to the 3 years before you manifested"...

To that person, it might well seem like a clever idea. "Hey I didn't exist then, but I don't really experience or remember that nothingness!"

Except they did exist, may well have been conversational even for the last part of it, etc.

There's no good way from first principles for me to be sure the same isn't true of myself before my birth. I don't expect much after my death, but like everyone else I'm just going to have to wait and see (or, wait and not see, as the case may be).
One thing that's struck me which I assume only reddit has, is the social graph data which holds all the relationships trends on who votes on what/who. There's limits on that based on how pseudoanonymous it is and the ease of making new accounts, but that seems valuable (at least to an outsider), although possibly in a "fighting yesterday's war" way as 'true' social networks like Facebook get value out of posts, which would be different to the way ML training may value it.

> While a premium VR headset built over iOS apps is a step in the right direction, we worry it could seriously hinder the device's ability to serve as a true laptop replacement.

This remains the holy grail for work focussed headsets. Can I truly replace my laptop with it?

It seems the Vision Pro allows you to pair and cast screens, but not replace an entire macbook pro. A disappointment for sure but maybe it will be available in V2, V3, etc.

The more I live in this world, the more I realize that its winners are pretty much exclusively charismatic bullshitters. I used to think that professional investors actually were a little smarter than the rest. I mean, here they are making huge bets on particular numbers on the roulette wheel--they must know something we don't! But they keep getting fooled!

They have gobs and gobs of money to invest. Rich people chasing ever riskier rewards just handing money to them! They have to find something promising to throw it at. But who is it going to? Evidently, a lot of it goes to founders whose primary skill is storytelling. I used to think, no matter how handsome and smooth and persuasive you are, you at least have to have a little substance behind your enchanting narrative and ivy-league mannerisms. But here we are with failure after failure (and a once-a-decade colossal failure like Theranos) where all the warning signs were visible to someone not under the spell, and these bullshitters are still getting funding shoveled at them.

It's pretty sad that "look like you know what you are doing and convince gullible people" is probably the best future career advice I can give to my school-age daughter.
TBH I would have and I think many others would hesitate as well. $10/month is enough to the point where I would consider simply sticking to the desktop site.

for $10/month I'd expect more quality control in communities, and my experience from years of browsing doesn't make me optimistic that my money would improve that.
> Go compare prices of e.g. Hetzner or OVA and come back to me again with that "fiction".

I have given two real examples of two real and highly useful fully managed services with made-up data volumes along with their respective costs. Feel free to demonstrate which managed services API gateway and pub/sub services Hetzner or OVA have to offer that come close or the same, functionality and SLA wise, – to compare.

> That's only about 35 events per second.

Irrelevant. I am not running a NASDAQ clone, and most businesses do not come anywhere close to generating 35 events per second anyway. If I happen to have a higher event rate, the service will scale for me without me lifting a finger. Whereas if a server hosted in a data centre has been underprovisioned, it will require a full time ops engineer to reprovision it, set it up and potentially restore from a backup. That entails resource planning (a human must be available) and time spent on doing it. None of that is free, especially operations.

> […] Hosting over at Hetzner will cost you maybe $25 a month.

It is the «maybe» component that invalidates the claim. Other than «go and compare it yourself» and hand-waving, I have seen slightly less than zero evidence as a counter-argument so far.

Most importantly, I am not interested in hosting and daily operations, whereas the business is interested in a working solution, and the business wants it quickly. Hosting and tinkering with, you know, stuff and trinkets on a Linux box is an antithesis of the fast delivery.

The vast majority of servers in data centers idle by most of the time anyway consuming electricity and generating pollution for no-one's gain so the argument is moot.
With all due respect, this is possibly the dumbest rebuttal I've heard. Why do I need a powerful GPU or even need my GPU to waste compute cycles just to view a webpage?

Just get rid of it entirely. The visual flair is not adding any value. It's a performance drag, highly distracting, and serves no useful purpose whatsoever. This "trend" in modern web design is truly infuriating.

There's serious usability & scalability issues with existing federation right now, but these traditional social platforms killing 3P clients is a huge boon for federated ecosystems. Just look at Tweetbot-- which used to be considered one of the best UX for Twitter-- and how it's transformed into Ivory.

I'm hoping that a 3P developer brings some of their UX skills to Lemmy or Kbin, which would be really beneficial for bringing new users into the ActivityPub world

Everyone did, but Microsoft continues to be terrible. Replace Edge with GitHub or npm or vscode and see what a trap this is.

- npm sends images you view online to GitHub

- vscode bakes a VPN into npm and turns it on

- The dark defaults of npm

- vscode records editing (browsing) history in InPrivate mode

Azure or OpenAI seem even worse. And Windows has a lot of Edge-like things built into it, including how it tries to get users to use Edge.
Great post - got through all important points in a very concise letter. Vision Pro is a super awkward name, but I do like that it forefronts "pro"; VR games that really blow people away without needing a ton of space are a bit far off IMO*, but we are so close to replacing laptops with something that's 1000x more convenient and powerful.

I hope they're able to stick to their ambitious production schedule and they hit the shelves around the same time (early 2024). I've never rooted for any product harder than I am for SimulaVR, and that's saying a lot considering my dark days Kickstart-ing video games...

*: If you disagree and love your VR games, tell me: how often do you break it out in favor of a traditional monitor? My experience tells me not very often, unless you have a great setup or are into a seated timesink game like Elite Dangerous.
The HTC Vive XR Elite has 19 pixels per degree (PPD). Simula claims to have 35, which if true would make a marked difference.

But yeah, the problem at this stage is getting one to try.

I like my friends a lot but we don't always agree. With reddit I can read like 5 opinions of a game I want to play and I can instantly feel like "this person doesn't like it and their reasons are similar to things that I don't like too" and make an informed opinion.

The point you make about "professionals don't have time to use Reddit" definitely applies though. /r/synthesizers for example is a great sub if you want to spend thousands on hardware. Not so good for making real music! Although I do feel like there are a lot of Unity game devs on there. Maybe you just need the right community.
GDPR aside, the EU doesn't generally assert global jurisdiction. If Google does what they want for EU only, that should be fine with EU anti-trust. Microsoft typically only markets anti-trust compliant products in the relevant jurisdictions; no browser ballot or missing media player in the US.

Of course, if Google only makes the change in the EU, it doesn't much change the landscape outside of the EU. Although there's a chance for better competition in the EU to give another player a foothold, which then helps them gain usage elsewhere (perhaps from global customers who like the results in Europe and try it globally)
Is Microsoft really that bad with franchises? Fable was pretty great. Halo until recently? Age of Empires? Flight Sim? Gears of War?

And it's not like Call of Duty is some beloved indie franchise anyway. I'd much prefer that than Microsoft gobbling up a bunch of small indie developers. Even the Blizzard games (Diablo, for example) are way less innovative than their indie counterparts.

And whatever their financials, Microsoft has continued sinking a lot of money into their gaming products, thankfully. They could've surrendered but then we'd lose the one major competitor to Playstation, and maybe even Windows gaming. Until and unless Valve/Steam becomes a vertically integrated platform, Microsoft has a purpose.
Countdown to when Reddit leadership does some drastic moves like (1) forcibly making some of the most popular private subs public again, (2) removing the mods who want to keep things private. This would effective take these communities under company control.

This will create even more uproar as well though, but I think it is inevitable.

Given the mess they have put themselves in, and their unwillingness to budge on the API pricing issue, they are unlikely to win back support from the moderates themselves in the immediate future.
Agreed, the discourse here tends to be more polite, but as others have already pointed out, there's an insane amount of intelligent sounding, authoritative sounding content and comments here that are actually complete nonsense. Which is totally fine when talking about inconsequential things, but not when it comes to economics, medicine etc etc, lol.

Summary: they give a lot of praise to what Apple showed, and mention two negatives:

- “they didn’t give us detailed specs”

- “it seems to be tied to the iPhone/iPad ecosystem, not the macOS one”

Neither of these is certain to be a negative of the product.

That, combined with the repeated “we’re looking for investors” makes me wonder whether this company will survive.

You say that like there aren’t numerous other competitors in the space: DuckDuckGo, Kagi, Brave, searx, qwant, startpage, etc, etc.

> Its going to slightly accelerate the migration of some communities to Discord

I wish they'd at least try Discourse first.

Discord is where knowledge goes to die.
Before clicking I thought someone kept note of how many times Linux booted in regard to their computing habits, and not testing software. I know for me I boot roughly 3 times a day into different machines, do my work, shutdown, then rinse & repeat.

Then you have those types who put their machine into hibernate/sleep with 100+ Chrome tabs open and never do a full boot ritual. Boggles my mind that people do that.
Janky for me even when scrolling has started. 2021 M1 MBP.
The most direct translation is something like:

(await import("module-name")).default(someOptions)

The biggest issue is import() is async and module proxies aren't allowed to be directly callable so you need to pick an export from the other module to call. But `default` is an appropriate export to call, even if there's no nice shorthand for default imports in the import() case (as there is syntax sugar in the import keyword case for default). Neither of those things seem like deal breakers to me, and have very good reasons for why they are the way they are.

I mean...something like 70% of subs are private at this moment. I deleted my account before the API changes were announced but it's easy to see that most of the subs I used are still private. I'm trying to get a dedicated server running for a game I started playing and the Google searches I've been doing for answers on some of the settings all return a shitlaod of reddit results I can't access.

Your experience is yours, mine is mine, but given the objective fact of how many subs are currently private, I see no reason to think your experience is typical.
