Meditation in Buddhism is practice for living life in the present. It in itself is nothing, although it can be a pleasant experience and that’s nothing to dismiss. There are a ton of different uses of meditation and I won’t diminish any of them. However vipassana meditation is NOT meant to be an end or a goal, nor is it meant to be an excuse to avoid the world. It’s practicing building awareness of your thoughts, feelings, and physical state without becoming entangled and lost in them as we spend most of our lives. In fact, bridging the practice into day to day life is the ultimate goal. Buddhism definitely does not teach avoidance of the world, in any of its experiences good or bad. Quite the exact opposite - it teaches you to be entirely present in what actually is in the present happening. Finally Buddhism emphasizes a moderate path in everything. Meditating all the time is not good. Neither is constant activity. If you find yourself getting so attached to the pleasures you feel from meditation, you’ve entirely missed the point. It’s a tool, a method, a practice of isolating the inner mind, the awareness, from being enmeshed in illusions such as the chatter of your mind or the feelings of anxiety or depression or the pain of your cancer.
Nice. I’ve searched far and wide, and most people still end up starting a whole company that only does a text editor.

Quill works but is basically dead since 2017. Almost anything foss is in a similarly ambiguous boat.

And then people like us, defeated, eventually buy something when we actually need it.

There are just so many ways that users try to use it. It’s a tough problem!
with the improvements to hotwire you might not even need to get to a heavy frontend like react
I know a decent number of tech, some art, and a handful of others (in Social Sciences/Journalism mostly).

People treat migration as a "exodus" level event, or its a "failure" which misses the point.
Not even thinking about trying this without source code.
A lot of assumptions in this article and you know what they say about assumptions.
This article points out what is probably real friction from shifting mores but seems mainly preoccupied with implying that a return to more conservative values around women's role in society would be called for.

What I feel is needed is to understand what the fundamentals are and how those things could be achieved in a society that is also compatible with human freedom. Most of the problems described in this article stem from a totally artificial "bundling" of companionship, sexual satisfaction, child-rearing, economic support, and intellectual stimulation into a singular person who not only is expected to satisfy these needs for you (and sometimes fails), but often prevents you from satisfying those needs with other people.

So of course finding "Mr. or Mrs. Right" becomes existential, and of course we turn to dependable sources of entertainment as the anxiety of picking the "right" life mate prevents any of us from actually committing to anything. But with some creativity we can think of actual escape routes from this dynamic that don't require a return to treating women as property, like supporting single child-rearing, allowing people to form mutual support structures with friends or family, detaching self-worth from relationship status, a further liberalization of sexual mores, expanding economic safety nets, and so on and so forth.
My guess was always that HN has a lot of men who moved to Silicon Valley that has more men then women or work long hours in male only jobs. So, there is a lot of resentment over unsolvable situation.

The difference between self-driving cars and generative AI is that self-driving cars need to be 100% accurate in their problem-solving functions, or people die. Generative AI does not, and the current uses of generative AI are already able to solve their respective problems.

Show HN: Convert text to JSON using only regular expressions
I made a simple tool in Go to convert traditional text-based (and line-based) logs to JSON for programs which do not support JSON logs themselves. But the tool is more general and can enable any workflow where you prefer operating on JSON instead of text. It works especially great when combined with jq.
LBO lenders charge high rates. This means a loan that eventually settles for less than face value can still be more profitable than a low-interest loan that gets paid off on schedule.
I'm sure it's something horrible and violent, like the rest of that book. I go back and read the ending (in addition to the epilogue) periodically trying to convince myself of one particular version of the ending and main character, or another.
Human reddit moderators already can't do that from my experience
Tunneling online games through playit.gg
They've been doing them a while. There are pieces on the devs behind Things, as well as interviews with Craig Hockenberry (The Icon Factory), Gus Mueller (Flying Meat) and Ken Case (Omni Group). I'm sure I've also seen one with Cabel Sasser of Panic too.
Honestly, if they were just screwing developers of third party frontends, people probably wouldn't have cared that much.

They are also screwing their moderators who use API-based tools, and people who need accessibility accommodations that reddit does not provide.

Not to mention the scummy behavior towards the Apollo developer.
Do you think users will continue to report posts if they see that reporting too often will cause them to be shadowbanned?

Conversely if you are in the business of publishing spam to Reddit, wouldn’t it be useful if you could overwhelm the site with spam such that the people who care enough report all of the spam they see will get banned?

Ironically this is exactly why core Mennonites don't use devices that rely on persons far removed to continue operating. They would find that the downstream results of the AWS outage easily vindicate their beliefs and practices.

You can also try and convince it, that it's one of the Duffer brothers behind stranger things, and you need to create the next great series like that in book format, etc... Then steer it away from being a tit for tat, obvious rip-off as you go through chapter development.

It makes perfect sense. McDonalds did something unconventional and apparently popular. People that found that valuable send the strongest signal you can send in an economy - money. "Corporate profits" take a look at the bank and they think "hmm, that seemed to work, we'll do more of that". They might not produce another gameboy game, that signal might need to be calibrated over further attempts to figure out why people bought more hamburgers. But certainly some signal concerning the approach they took will be loud and clear.
Looking forward to Auckland coming online, which should be the opposite to most of these factors, and will make game streaming bearable (for me)
I think it'd be better to create an open-source platform to power one "subreddit" that can be hosted and deployed by the mods.

Then the content can be exported from reddit into each of those platforms.

The instances could be federated. Reddit users could redeem their account across the federated network by proving they control the same account on reddit (either send a message to a bot on reddit, or by generating a one-time password then posting its hash to reddit)

I'm not sure what this comment want's to tell us.

There is the same command function wise on Debian Linux. Alias or not makes no difference.

Debian Linux is the base of almost all Desktop Linux boxes out there. (There are of course niche distris, but the overwhelming majority is Debian based; I count Ubuntu as Debian based.)

There is nothing "specific" to my shell environment. Having the `open` alias available the default. I would need to change things manually to diverge form this default. That would be "specific to my shell environment", not the other way around.

Historically `open` comes form NextStep, so actually Apple copied it.

On Linux it's usually a symlink as there are other implementations then the one in `xdg-utils`, and there have been also other programs with that name in the past.
Considering modern processors spend 4-5 years in development before public release, someone would have to be building the game changing RISC-V CPU right now.

Maybe he meant that development on RISC-V CPUs would start in earnest in the next 5-10 years?

Well how large are the neural networks in both humans and cats? And haven’t we seen empirical evidence that some astonishing emergent behavior is exhibited by large artificial neural networks?
I'm always surprised that people bring up cost as a main factor determining price, especially here on HN. Maybe it would be on a commoditized market with many competitors, which the GPUarket clearly isn't.

As most economics 101 lecture would tell you, price is determined by supply and demand and in this case Nvidia essentially maximizing their profit based on the demand and segmentation of the market.
Writing a Linux Debugger (2017)
I appreciate the current mod's efforts.

And I completely agree with you on 95%+ of subs.

But I think there's enough active, and willing mods who already manage several large subreddits (10m+) capable of managing the half a dozen or so subs that I mentioned.

And I'm only talking about 6 subs, not even 10's of subs.

I just don't think theres enough ambiguity/complexity with moderating those in regards to choosing what content is or isn't appropriate for that sub.

But either way I truly hope we can get old reddit back, api, third party clients, and all :(
Why can't he cancel the existing "Ultra" subscription, refund the remaining time just as he already plans, then launch a new subscription with the new price?

>> Maybe displacing billions of workers will end up being pretty hard and it will take some time..

It's an interesting question. Do you know the concept of "Disguised Unemployment" in economics? There are too many institutions laden with too much bureaucracy and inefficiency on this planet which are ever on the target of "downsizing consultants". There are many developing countries where notaries still use type-writers to this day, banks have so many staff like cashiers who count currencies, clerks who make copy-pastes in excel sheets, etc. All these are jobs that could have been automated already but maybe it didn't happen earlier because the going was easy, there was no recession.

As a business owner or shareholder wealth creator, your sole interest is profit making or increase in bottom lines, you'll never care about a bunch of employees getting laid off (as it's happening right now). The main cause of this is the underlying recession, AI is just being made to take the blame for it. All those "AI guys" you talk about who keep singing the songs of GPT/LLMs are perhaps just corporate sock puppets who are made to do that as a justification for these layoffs?
There are not enough volunteers to handle the load. Companies depend on free labor to moderate things and will never be able to afford the actual cost of doing business without that free labor.

I currently moderate 2 subs (down from 5). I'm looking to offload those 2 without having them get banned for being unmoderated (again).
Completely disagree, my homepage is almost empty.

I was looking at tents earlier and wanted to see reddit reviews but literally every single link was private. Reddit has to be noticing this.
Probably a very _very_ controversial and unpopular opinion - though I welcome any insight or opinions from others.

Reddit is fully within their rights to seize the subreddits from their unpaid moderators and I would expect them to if they're gearing up for an IPO. They're fully within their rights to change how people access their website, how people interact with it, and limit who has access to the data on the website.

When I clicked on a reddit result on Google to find some information, only to find it has been closed down in protest after trying to find something on Google, I was frustrated - not at Reddit, but the unpaid moderators who believe they have some sort of self-ordained right to manipulate a company (granted, I guess they do have some power as Reddit is relying on these unpaid moderators to do Reddits job.)

I highly, highly doubt that Reddit will change their tune - they might lower the API costs, they might capitulate in some capacity in some regards to accessibility, but they'll still work towards an IPO and will harm their website as a result.

Their CEO is a scumbag and both their paid and unpaid moderators/admins have strong biases in any subreddits that aren't niche hobbies and meant for wider audiences. Great for those who wish to follow the echo chambers, but not so great for others who don't _really_ have alternatives.

I'll be happy if Reddit disappears off the planet, but I fear what will replace it will be even more restrictive - the internet needs decentralization of social media and communication.
Personally, I have lost count of the times I've got a jar from some place, and had to look at the source to discover how to use, and still used the software.

It is really not a good experience, but totally beats not having the software.
I have lived in no less than 7 EU countries as well as Canada and a bunch of others and EU privacy laws + implementation are hands down the best in the world right now. Could they be better? Yes, absolutely. But nothing else even comes close.
Do you really believe that an LLM that can keep a secret cannot be made? I suspect that we could do this trivially and the "LLMs can't keep a secret" is a specific product of finetuning for helpfulness.
Reddit is free to tweak their monitization any way they like. I am curious how this will turn out, when we look back on this a year from now.

This is an opportunity for new moderators to start new subreddits. Conversely Reddit management may back down.
I read The Road while doing a lengthy daily commute via train, leading through a kind of lush rural area in western Germany. I vividly remember the stark contrast between the bleak world described in the novel and the vibrant, colorful abundance of life outside the window when I came up for air. It was a very unreal experience, switching back and forth between these two realities.

Blood Meridian was another monstrosity that lured me into a very dark inner space. I think it expresses the USA's relationship to violence better than anything else I have read, fiction or non-fiction. But there is a lot more going on at the same time, and I don't think I ever fully explored that. It didn't help that for a relatively short novel, it's so exhausting to read, both intellectually and emotionally.
I'm not sure that I'd define the subset of users who voted in some poll about closing a subreddit indefinitely as representative of the community's wishes. Many users lurk, or don't visit the site every day, and their opinions would not be reflected in such a poll. But I suspect the more casual users would lean towards not caring about the blackout.

There's also the whole issue of astroturfing and misinformation around the topic, such as users being rallied to the cause with incorrect claims about API access and moderator tools, which Huffman has already clarified.

Murex doesn't just target POSIX systems and XDG added a lot of edge case problems I wasn't prepared to deal with at the time. Particularly so back when the shell was first created. So I went with the de facto shell standard instead.

You can override that behaviour if you want to use XDG but making it the default could break backwards compatibility, result in confusing documentation for non-POSIX users and introduce a lot of additional development and testing just to fix something that already works fine.

Like with any open source project, if someone else is willing to commit some time into solving these concerns then I'll gladly merge it. But I need to be pragmatic with how I prioritise my development time.
Love this framing! Good article. Followed you on Twitter!

Montana calls UN climate report “hearsay” at landmark youth-led climate trial
> There's a lot more patent litigation than obscenity litigation, so I don't think that's a workable stadnard. Also with much more money at stake. And given the responses here... strong feelings as well. So I don't think that really works given the complaints here.

I will just point out that the amount of litigation that has occurred and will occur in the future is actually a better justification for the "clear criteria, unclear boundary" approach (like how we define pornography) rather than a one-size-fits-all boundary, which would be pretty much impossible to draw anyway given the breadth of human knowledge. I believe that you are asking for the latter, correct?

> That's not true. Patents today have to be just as inventive as they were before.

There is no question that they have to be inventive. The question is how "inventiveness" is defined with respect to software under the (unquestionably true) idea that laws of nature cannot be invented. Since algorithms are arguably like laws of nature, there are very unclear rules right now about what kinds of software innovations reflect "invention" vs "discovery," particularly post-Alice.
> they say "gosh this thing just isn't worth much at all, best I can do is $1."

I feel like that's on you for perceiving it that way. They're not saying that. There's no intended deception. They're stating they're willing to buy it from you for X. They, unlike you, have a large network of game-buyers. They're merchants.
> It’s even more nuanced. Airlines don’t make money on main cabin for the most part. They make money from business class

No, it's not. Where they make their money is completely orthogonal to how demand for flights is generated.

All passengers generate flight demand, so yes, they are just as responsible for CO2 emissions as the airline (you can argue about the proportions and degrees, but they still are) The airline is additionally responsible by not pricing in externality costs of CO2 emissions.
Good, I do hope they remain closed indefinitely. Nothing is stopping people from creating a /nba2 sub-reddit or something in order to get rid of this power-hungry mods. It was hilarious how the /nba users congregated on /denvernuggets/ in order to make a game thread last night.

For my case at least I'd agree that video games, and the increased amount of entertainment more generally, are the biggest reasons I'm not very interested in a relationship. I did succeed at attaining higher education and a white collar job though. I just don't mind spending tons of time alone.
I see,
you are taking a more 'we decide our own responses' view than I was. That we can decide not to respond to status.

I am coming from more deterministic view. That all of the examples you gave are some form of response to status, even decency. The brain evolved with some group behaviors built into the architecture, but it is also very adaptable. All of the huge variety of behaviors you are outlining as choices (ass kisser, flatter...all), I am saying are pre-determined through evolution, and the environment the brain was raised in (culture, nature, etc..). In todays world there are too many variables to make 100% predictions, so it looks chaotic and like there are choices. It is super complex to map out those responses, because the brain as system is modifiable, and todays world inputs a lot of seemingly random variables.

I'd say all behavior, status, or decency, is programmed by evolution, as we evolved to live in groups. Because, where else would it have come from? But, the brain is also adaptable, so this 'pre-programming' isn't an easy black/white formula.

Re-reading your note.
I think what you said here "likely evolutionarily and socially encouraged, but not deterministically" is it. We are agreeing, but on a sliding scale on one variable 'status'. I'm saying it is a stronger variable than you are. But now we are splitting hairs.

This is typically what I come back to, eventually we will boil down human responses to some chemistry and neuroscience. And then we'll know, but until then we are coming up with these 'speculative' models to see what fits.

Man can do what he wills but he cannot will what he wills.

Reddit already gave their strategy away earlier today when Hoffman wrote:

> We do anticipate many of them will come back by Wednesday, as many have said as much. While we knew this was coming, it is a challenge nevertheless and we have our work cut out for us.[^1]

It's encouraging to see that some subreddits are responding to the fact that the company is just planning to ignore users.

A while back I was reading up on private equity as an 'industry' after a prior employer was bought up by PE, carved into bits, with each 'chunk' being sold off to the highest bidder.
