Looking at the examples discussing Reagan on the Wiki page, is this generated text looking to sway public opinion? This could be used to sway elections! What sort of precautions did the hacker named Mark V Shaney take before releasing this into the wild? These so called “Mark Off Chains” are too dangerous to be let into the wild. They should only be made available to the largest corporations who can protect us from their dangers. I’m going to write my senator to make sure this isn’t made publicly available!
Eh I really strongly suspect this “you can use an LLM instead of google, I.e. as a knowledge model” to be a short lived trend. I hope Reddit sees it the same way. It’s kinda like using better bike infrastructure for sick cyberpunk roller derbies; a nice unexpected use case, sure, but its not built for that and sooner-or-later the issues will become all too apparent

IMO, the future will be using LLMs with live search results - which of course will probably require a funding model better than the terrible Display Ads setup we have for such content now. So best of luck to Reddit on that front - I hope your ipo fails

So this might be a naive question, but is it literally that you're simulating a fluid in parallel by having each thread simulate a portion of the space? And then the message passing between threads is the data about the fluid on the boundary?

Hegemony, perhaps.
> Because it depends entirely on the use case.

Every thing depends on the use case, and one case always find special case as counter example and most engineering solution/choices.

Generalization are still useful and sometime "true". C++ (and native languages) are faster than java simply because it was designed this way. C++ chose speed at the price of complexity, safety and build time. Java on the other hand focused on simplicity and safety.

I understand the idea of wanted to bring nuance, but the"it depends" can also become an excuse for bad tech choices.

> There are plenty of cases where Java will be faster than c++ purely due to the available libraries.

Hard to believe, but in that case i would say that you are comparing libraries, not the languages.

Perhaps GP meant that since desire is the root of suffering, that rather than desire that your server work and suffer and strive to return it to functionality, you could go outside and mediate on the grass until you relinquished your desire for a working server.

Being the scale of Amazon has nothing to do with whether or not fault-tolerance is important to an application. In fact, amazon has far fewer real needs for fault-tolerance than many other businesses (its a retail site!).

You should use embedded mode if you do not require fault-tolerance and can miss updates. Otherwise, don't. Regardless of scale.
My experience in the past 5-10 years on Reddit is:

- the voting system is about what people want the truth to be, not the truth.

- the users can be very easily gamed in comments to vote one way or another just by the initial voting being negative or positive (aka most just vote with the trend)

- the opinions all come from a bias of urban and major metro area people. It's painfully obvious they don't understand any mindset outside of this one.

- it wasn't always this way.

I agree with you, the quality went down as the quantity went up, and it may be possible to use the comments, but using the vote data as a signal of truth is going to produce a terribly narrow minded AI.
Interesting. I wonder if this is a retina display issue. I just pushed out a change that renders the shader at standard resolution even if the device has a retina display. I don't have a retina display on any of my devices except a 2019 MBA and it renders fine on it. I wonder why.

The reason react hooks get so much hate it's because that it's basically Aspect-Oriented Programming. If ur project scope is small and u don't get why you need it in the first place, then it looks weird and unintuitive. But when u work on bigger projects and u have some many shared HOCs which are stacked, they become callback hells to manage and debug.

But hooks solve this cross cutting problem. It's like going from promise callback hells to async await.
Current VRAM prices are like that, because of Nvidias greed.

I assembled one of my previous gaming PCs 10 years ago and installing 32 GB of RAM wasn't a problem back then.

But you can't even buy a consumer GPU with 32 GB of VRAM. Data center cards are considerably more expensive.

There's no technical reason to not have 100+GB consumer GPUs today.
Volunteer doesn't equal volunteer though. Some are in it for the topic, some are in it for their own persona. Reddit was more attractive for some people because it wasn't as much focused on people and more around topics. That changed a bit and you cannot really draw a line too hard, but it is still the case to a large degree.

I doubt wikipedians are big on personalities either, although that demographic changed a lot too. It did have to change though because business was suddenly much more interested as well.

This (generally, not the CC thing specifically) is the reason why I stopped dealing with Apple devices.

Hey cool, my RAM card is being mentioned on hacker news!

You're right, the card uses PSRAM because non-synchronous SRAM chips basically aren't available new any more. I didn't want to have to troll the depths of (semi-questionable) new old stock parts sites and went with new chips.

This design was assisted by my good friend techknight, original designer of the 8 megabyte RAM card for the mac portable.

Equally said of HN. Folks with a few years of dev or startup experience asserting this or that all over the place. Im sure less experienced folks read these "truthy" answers and take them as gospel in some cases.

The AI feedback loop: Researchers warn of 'model collapse'
Thanks!! There are some fairly good OS models for the core stuff (PII, SSNs etc) out there already (Presidio, Spacey), so folks that need an OS option have one to start with. Detecting the more complex stuff can sometimes need a little iteration, but I could definitely imagine a world where we publish that in the future

On SOC 2, we used Drata, and spoke to Vanta, Laika and a few others. The price Vanta initially quoted us was waaaay higher than the other two, and between Laika and Drata we went with Drata mostly because there seemed to be more automation in Drata. In the end, the Drata live support was incredible and hard to imagine how we would have gotten the certification so fast without. We started our infra on DO, and so the most painful part of SOC 2 for us was the migration we did to AWS to take advantage of AWS' many security features. My main advice would be take full use of the Drata live support (I'd guess Vanta have something similar), but maybe on a deeper level - when you're doing SOC 2, don't focus on the certification: focus on the policies and technology that actually makes your company secure. In the end, that's what enterprises really care about, especially for the ones that have given us 300 question long questionnaires!

You or (your libraries) probably stopped mutating things. No mutation means you can rely on values you used several lines ago.

This is the perennial HN discussion whenever the word 'functional' comes up. "But x=x+1 is simple to teach to beginners" is the rallying cry. Well, this is why not.

Why Reddit Will Win
Just realized the reason I like this is the documentation isn't just an API reference, but a progressive refinement of the problem domain to solution domain mapping. You start with a simple statement and gradually introduce concepts, problems and solutions.
> C++ chose speed at the price of complexity

If that were true, C and Rust (which are typically faster) would be just as complex as C++ (but no language is).

It chose to jump into the OOP fad while staying low level ("what if we had C with classes?"). That's the cause of most of the complexity. The rest is age, backwards compatibility handcuffs, and kitchen sink stuff from other languages like move semantics and functional stuff.

> Java on the other hand focused on simplicity and safety.

Java chose to jump into the OOP fad while being high level. Ruby and Python did the same thing, and they're also simple as a result. That or low level and not OOP are the correct combos if you don't want to wind up with something as byzantine as C++.
Checked out and it works great! Just thinking if it would be even better if there’s some way to make all that knowledge searchable, or to find some way to help users discover podcast summaries that they might be into?
When reading other's comments, it's about quality, not quantity. There are some comments which are verbose when they don't need to be, and could be more eloquently written, but I'm not some high school English teacher. People are gonna write verbosely and I can't stop them. As for brevity, some comments are thinly veiled snipes at another's writing, others are short for a reason: there's simply nothing else to add, and they're not sniping.
> What happens next.

Its going to slightly accelerate the migration of some communities to Discord... Which is awful, with how siloed and noisy Discord is.

I hope I am wrong, and that a good alternative gains traction.
I'm assuming keygen must not be part of the package name specifically, right? Because keygen can be part of contained JS content without probs, as the sgml package is demonstrating (containing the legacy keygen element as part of its embedded HTML DTD grammar).

But I'm still curious why keygen would be problematic as part of a package name?

Followup questions for Alabhya:

* are you a software engineer, or a "script implementor" because you use Node.js instead of writing C?

* are you a software engineer, or an "ELF implementor" when you use binaries compiled by tools instead of hex-editing them together?

Knowing how these things work is valuable, but this air of superiority is garbage. I've seen a lot more systems wrecked by folks who were very proud of their "Software Engineering" of a hacked-together incomprehensible mess "because frameworks are just TOO LIMITING" than the contrary.
Unfortunately it seems to me like the majority of programmers I've come in contact with belong to the "dumb and get things done" group.

The algorithm is:

1) Get hired at a new place.

2) Vomit a lot of code adopting the latest and greatest fad without any prior experience in it (like "template metaprogramming") and with no knowledge whatsoever of the domain in cause (ex: finance, map navigation etc). None of these are an impediment in immediately starting to produce code in great quantities.

3) Keep on #2 until some resemblance of responsability appears, like need to actually deliver that project. Or until the unintended and accidental complexity of said code exceeds their limited mental capacity. Then apply for a new job somewhere else, padding their resume with "experience in fad X" and quit, leaving the burden of making some use (and sense) of their abomination to another poor soul teleported there at the last moment to "help".
> Organizations/people with an interest in OpenAI – like Sam Altman and a16z – have a significant stake in Reddit, and strong ties to the board.

This triggered me to review a thought I had.

VC's are very keen with attending board meetings without being directors, retaining the right to appoint a director without carrying that out, and exerting control thought other means. I think some tightening of the concept of shadow directors is in order. Shadow directors are supposed to have the same legal responsibilities as properly appointed directors, yet they currently carry all the power without the reponsibilty

While some of the underlying functionality is based on Encore’s static analysis, the approach is quite general and can be adapted to lots of situations and programming languages. The overall code ended up being a couple hundred lines, not more.

I have had authentic Tacos and I do love them and real Mexican food ... but there's something visceral, nostalgic, about Taco Bell. It was the first meal I can remember we ever had growing up that wasn't cooked at home (we never ate out, we always had home cooked food and then one day mom was just tired and we hit up the local TacoBell and I was hooked ever since). And then the only happy memory with my Dad was at a Taco Bell with him throwing way too many hot sauce packets on the hard shelled tacos (he was East Indian so chewing on habeneros at the store and picking the hotter ones was a normal thing so...), shortly after this random experience, he passed away suddenly while on a business trip.

Anyway, I miss that greasy, bastardization of the taco...

Immigration and liberal laws unto it will save nations I think. Countries going forward will need skilled labor more than ever as birth rates fall.

Google or Reddit don't matter, if the Info Explosion problem that the Internet produced gets solved some other way.

Main reason such sites came into existence was there was too much info on the Internet.

These sites where attempts at simplifying the numerous websites and blogs ppl had to manually discover and track.

They have meandered around that problem, and got totally distracted by all kinds of other problems (many self created).

As a gamer, I'm mostly sad about this. It's not like Activision was some beloved indie studio anyway, not for a long long long time.

Having them snatched up by Microsoft would've been no real loss to the gaming community, but would've opened up synergies for Game Pass and cloud streaming and maybe even given the consolidated company a shot at competing with Sony and Nintendo in terms of ensuring viable platforms (not to mention Apple and Google, or Chinese giants like Tencent).

Meanwhile, most actual games innovation happens at the indie level, not AAA, anyway. So it's not like there was going to be much of a cultural loss.

I normally dislike Microsoft, but to their credit, they've been very loyal to their PC and Xbox gamers, and did a lot of work combining their markets (seamless controller support in Windows games, mouse keyboard support in some Xbox games, cross buy and cross play, streaming, etc.), despite having been a distant third place (or worse) for decades now. They didn't give up on it like they did the browser wars or Zune.

Having a continued viability in Windows and Xbox gaming is a good thing for the community, even as (or perhaps especially while) Proton and Crossover/Apple Game Porting Toolkit and Steam Deck etc. are just getting off the ground. Those efforts are only possible because of the Windows APIs, which are similar enough to the Xbox ones that porting is viable. I doubt there would be a similar path from Playstation.

It seemed like this acquisition would've been a win for gamers. And the market. And maybe Blizzard too, for all its recent culture woes. And I get why the regulators thought this way (two huge companies), but I doubt they really understand the nuances of the gaming ecosystem. Sigh. Maybe when Gen Z gets to run government.

You say "even Twitter" as if that company is a paragon of ethics and even-handedness. If a place has to coerce people to stay in it, that's an awfully damning move. Well run communities don't need to do that because people actually want to use them over the competition.
Because big companies are funneling money through Ireland, they usually need some corporate presence there. Because they already have a small office there, and there's a large English speaking population, when they want a bigger office in Europe, Ireland is a likely choice.
