Apart from going back to agrarian communism central planning by ill-informed bureaucrats, the issue is an absolute lack of systems and personnel in government to meter and observe corporate transactions in a localized, specialized, distributed manner who know the terrain up close whether degrees of gouging or catastrophic imbalances are happening or not.

Can't let farmers empty water tables, let prices of eggs go insane, or corporations up prices just to take advantage of customers to the point it causes a price spiral.

The Fed is ill-equipped, the FTC doesn't do much, and the CFPB was neutered.
My understanding is (from your twitch stream), that the type system will initially be obscured from developers. I guess this means it's going to hook into the existing `type` and `spec` features of elixir?

Do you think we'll end up writing

$ integer() -> integer()
@spec inc(integer) :: integer()
def inc(i), do: i + 1

or can the new type system be entirely expressed in `@spec` (perhaps with a slightly upgraded syntax), or perhaps we'll have the choice of @spec or $ (or @spec2.0, whatever).

Additionally, do you feel there is any chance/desire/need of this bleeding up into Erlang? I can only assume the work done mapping the type system onto elixir would not require as much work to then map to Erlang if there were any interest.
Sounds like something you could use an API to find out … oh wait.

>Australia's healthcare system certainly doesn't come at zero cost

It comes at a lower cost than what people in the US already pay.

That's right... if we converted to public health care in the US, you would actually pay LESS money than you do now for health care.
I was unemployed for a year and paid under $200/month for a good insurance through market place, which I happened to use twice. That's not a lot of money. And I don't think the US healthcare system is as terrible as people think it is, particularly after Obamacare. There's a lot of variation of course, if you are in a big metro area chances are you have access to one of the best doctors and facilities in the world. I have colon cancer and heart disease screenings and I pay a few hundred dollars combined every few years. Copayments to see specialists are $35. Xrays are free, medicines are a few bucks. Biggest expense to date was shoulder surgery at under $2000 out of pocket, but I was taken care of by one of the world lead experts in the subject. For something that can alter your life forever I happily pay to have promptly access to such level of care instead of being on a wait list to be operated by the next available doctor picked by the system. From that perspective $2000 is cheap.
I don't understand the Apollo side of this --- that's literally what he's being offered, by his own math. $3/month/user. Fairs fair. He has enough users to make millions a year: their servers aren't his for free forever.

People are tying themselves into knots turning Reddit into either near-bankrupt or evil. Or hyper-focusing on particular elements that are just disputable human interactions, like most (i.e. suggesting he could optimize API calls isn't some slap in the face & shitting on his app. really immature!)

I have absolutely 0 dog in this fight, no huge reddit fan, I just don't like how many people I see bamboozled by him. Extremely manipulative behavior.
I don't really subscribe to the idea of "finishing" or "completing" a project; I'm sure my personal github can attest to that. I think "real" software is never done. The only things in software that are completed are the fractions of software we abstractly define (tasks, features, sprints, deliverables, etc). Much like us, real software lives until it doesn't. It changes through time sometimes regressing and expanding. Software whose goalposts remain static becomes deadware.

Outside of commercial projects, I program for the joy of creation and commonly, and paradoxically, automating for the sake of "not automating." I jump from project to project, sure, but I've found the largest source of not wanting to go back to a project is the difficulty of doing so. Having to pick things back up to juggle and going through the motions of learning what my software did and what needs to be done was always a pain.

My real breakthrough was "optimizing being able to leave." Comments like I'd be picking up the software months/years later, READMEs detailing build steps and rationale and planned features, automating dev environment setups with docker, break features/work into pieces so it isn't overwhelming, etc. These are just some of the many ways to make it easier.

Sometimes you don't want to go back because all you can think of is the known (or unknown) work that lies ahead of you. The fewer the reasons to not go back, the easier it is, and if it's easy to pick back up, you'll find yourself picking things back up when the time is right. Sometimes inspiration hits while working on other stuff, and I say that's fine. Embrace that.

Commercial software is a bit more narrow in the selection of how one can start and stop on work (I call this "task shopping"), but being in tune with yourself and vocalizing that during standups/meetings/whatever can help. Can't seem to finish a task? Maybe the task was too big to begin with, scope/feature creep set in, or whatever. Create tasks for what you've gotten done and what needs to be done. Lay out some groundwork to explain how someone might pick up the new tasks. Do that and you'll find yourself "optimizing being able to leave."

"You must become comfortable with the grind-it-out nature of the last 10% of a project." I really don't align with this statement. Software can and should be a joy to do. Sure, there are aspects that can make it feel like a grind, but this is a question of framing. After all software development is technically data entry (don't think about this too much).
I’d guess most guys would be down for that too, if the roles were reversed. Humans gonna human.

They could have set up a signature with 3rd party apps, those apps could have have charged the apps a couple bucks/required ads in the feeds from reddit/etc. Instead they wanted 100% control and 100% of the data. This isn't -just- about killing off AI scrapers, this is about sending a message that reddit is 100% under the CEO's control for when they have the IPO. Wallstreet does not like "free" stuff, all they see are cost centers and profit centers.
Emergency care is less than 3% of medical spending. Everybody loves to bring it up but it isn't really an issue. Of course nobody is suggesting you shop around for emergency care. The big issue is chronic condition care, and you really should be able to compare prices for that.

To me, there's a way that business relationships are carried out; you can deliver bad news to industry partners in a professional manner.

If Huffman had called up guys like Christian Selig a while back and been like "Listen, it's been great, I love the apps you guys make, but business is business and I want to see more revenue, and to do that I'm going to charge more for the API and probably eventually shut it down, let's work on a timetable to sunset things.", he's not nearly the jerk he is today. No one's under the illusion that Reddit or Conde Nast are charities; they have revenue targets to make.

What makes this fucking people over is the negotiating over API price and implementation timetable that was clearly in bad faith and meant to shut down these applications within the timespan of a quarter. Imagine being told that your way of making a living (which these apps are for their developers) is going away in a month. Sure, these devs are the cream of the crop, but that's still a major life disruption, and you don't do that to the people who helped make your website what it is today.
A US person making 180k is taxed more than 58k if they live in CA. 24% federal, 9% CA, plus social security and Medicare. If they live in SF then there's also a local tax.
One of my favorite bits of writing is “Yelping with Cormac”, a series of short humorous pieces written by E.D.W. Lynch.

An excerpt from “The Apple Store”…

“… There was folks outside just standin there. Line stretchin round the block. Maybe a hundred people. I saw a man who’d brought his own chair. He had a shirt on with the same logo as the one on the store. I figured he worked there so I asked him what the line was all about. What were all these people waitin for. He told me it was for a apple phone or some such. I said dont these folks have telephones already? He told me they all had apple phones but it was the older one. I asked him what would happen to the old apple phones. He told me about a fella named Craig had a list and everbody sold their old telephones on it. A telephone sellin list.”

Every source I can find says that secularism/atheism is growing worldwide. Not sure what you're talking about.

Even if "most" people don't "defect", you have to make up the remainder by people going the other way, for which there doesn't seem to be any evidence.

OK, so whatever numbers you want to use, whether it’s $2 in direct Reddit api access charges or $5, same order of magnitude, probably neither moves the needle that much relative to the other.

But I think there’s a huge difference between that charge being 20 cents and $2 (or 50 cents and $5).
Same, we have one, we use it probably at least 4-5 times a week, it's a great product.

> And that's it; now you have to go and fix it manually

This is very true. We didn't get far enough to get into a drift issue to compare CDK vs 3rd party, so this is new to me, thanks for that. Admittedly, we solved this by saying no one is allowed to click buttons at all on the console for certain envs.

What's worked well for us is we multiple sub-accounts which handle dev(s), stage, uat, prod. Dev(s) accounts are pure temp, use the CDK to stand it up, then click all you want while you "figure it out".

Stage, UAT, and Prod are all code only.

We also separate Network vs Application stacks, but it's more actually delete-able vs critical. Dangerous to delete/mess with - Route53, RDS, VPC, S3 (some). Delete-able is Lambda, EC2, ElastiCache, etc. If we lost these, we don't "lose" anything other than downtime no backups/cust data gone and restoring it is trivial.

Also agreed on the experimental packages or needing to use the escape hatches. We have L1, L2 mixed all over the place. We use almost no L3 because it's like Hello World - great for demos but not really practical and it's easier to customize the L2's because getting access to individual resources in L3 is janky (but we do do it for a few L2's).
I kinda agree, but on the other hand, the statistics were sad. The site I used [0] is currently down, but from what I remember, even with so many subreddits being private, posts per minute went from 1.2k to 1k, and comments per minute from 8k to 7k (talking about the peaks of the curve in both cases).

That is a pretty low reduction and imo shows how those of us who care are not a majority, and the whole thing might end up being nothing more than a gamer-protest.

edit: back up, peak comments from below 7k to below 6k; peak posts from about 1.2k to 1.1k

> never heard people mention stoicism in the same context

I’m not particularly familiar but I understand this “stoicism” is not really the Stoicism one might read about on wikipedia (maybe related but ultimately not congruent). In a practical sense, when people say “more expressive and open” they are necessarily talking about the opposite of this “stoicism”.

This “more expressive and open” is also often expressed as “more emotionally intelligent” and that’s insulting to the emotional intelligence of such “stoics”. It’s very literally “they don’t express themselves correctly” and I can’t imagine someone not being insulted by such a claim of their personality.
Don't tell the PE guys about archive.org and .is, either.

This is exactly it- the required pressure to write. Fountain pens are effortless in marking, and flow. This leads also naturally to flowing cursive text. While I love fine liners, ball points or gel pens, few write like a fountain pen (and the ones that do are called fountain pen like).
This is awesome. As someone who lives in the U.S, had a heart attack (double bypass), and a week hospital stay...I want to see if $298,000 was the right price.
In place of simply concatenating after chunking, a more effective approach might be to retrieve and return the corresponding segments from the original documents that are relevant to the context. For instance, if we're dealing with short pieces of text such as Hacker News comments, it's fairly straightforward. Any partial match can prompt the return of the entire comment as it is.

When working with more extensive documents, the process gets a bit more intricate. In this case, your embedding database might need to hold more information per entry. Ideally, for each document, the database should store identifiers like the document ID, the starting token number, and the ending token number. This way, even if a document appears more than once among the top results from a query, it's possible to piece together the full relevant excerpt accurately.
I think you're getting hung up on a joke about the hung-over doctor. The problem is that whatever the complication is, it should be amortized over all the deliveries of that treatment, not the one case where it happens to occur.
I mean, it's really not at all that difficult to search for subs on Reddit and see how active they are, and then subscribe accordingly and join in on the convo. Who cares if everyone goes to the exact same one? If people spread out to a few active subs, then the discussions will continue there. A few million here, a few million there.

Some of that hundred million would disappear, sure, but hey - what percentage of subscribers are relatively inactive anyway?
Was not expecting a Puddles callout...am very pleased.

> For the private sector, many homeowners and corporations have longer-term fixed debt, and only some portion of it matures each quarter and gets refinanced at higher rates. As more private debt matures and gets refinanced at higher rates, this will continue to serve as a disinflationary and recessionary force on the economy, especially for sectors that are more sensitive to interest rates.

The one thing I don't get and could have been missing in the past... a lot of the corporations and private things, like farms operate on debt. Now maybe it's a bit reductionist, but if you're a farmer operating on debt, if interest rates go up you need to increase prices to cover operating expenses. And this get compounded all the way up to the end consumer as every step in the supply chain marks up by a fixed percent, and because everything is getting more expensive decided lets mark up by a larger percent. So higher interest rates really could be contributing to inflation. And it's just creating a cycle. And with the current levels of debt never seen before in history, it's unlike other periods.

The idea of this stuff being “aligned” with any of the people talking it needing to be aligned scares the shit out of me.

A William Gibson Wild West is way less scary than exporting elite SV limousine liberal values into every nook and cranny of earthly existence.

I think the FAANG CEOs and those like them have just plenty of power already.
There are studies, but the studies are flawed. It depends very much on the country/union. The US raising rates will absolutely slow/stop inflation in the US, and at least slow down worldwide inflation. North Korea? yeah, good luck…

Outside of those extremes, it depends on the population of the country/union and how widely the currency is used.

I saw an NPR piece mentioned by trog, but that does not change my viewpoint. The NPR piece appears to not focus on currency usage %, which is why I think it isn’t all that relevant.

This argument doesn't hold water. Licensing can charge commercial reuse differently, and technology can have 3rd party apps use OAuth, and reddit can enable that OAuth solely for users with Reddit Gold Plus, to get whatever they think they need per user.

It's users using the API, to contribute the content. If Reddit stopped to think it through, they'd realize content contributed by Apollo users is better for LLMs.

Finally, if it cost users to use the API, Reddit gets paid, apps compete on their own merits as they do today, and the pile miners pay for commercial harvesting of the content users paid reddit and the app builders to let them post.

It's hard to see why Reddit thinks their current approach is the cleverest.
I'm confused by this whole thing, do the mods not realize how easily they can be replaced? Without any leadership or strategy moving forward this "movement" is doomed. Who decided the winning strategy was to basically quit? What are they hoping happens here, reddit opens up negotiations? LOL, you're handing them the keys to your subreddits DERP. Pretty much par for reddit mods though so why am i expecting some kind of cohesive plan? I'll see myself out now.

Every company I've ever worked for has had some sort of name for their employees. It's probably supposed to foster some sense of community/belonging.

You're welcome to take the cynical approach to that, sure, but I've never felt it to be a particularly harmful thing. It's good to have some semblance of a friendly culture, if only to break up the day.

Some people will like it and I'm sure some people hate it. I've never given it a second thought though.

Because they want to IPO as soon as possible, so showing a bump of revenue from API shows the promise of more revenues for investors.

Remember they took a 41% cut in valuation recently. IPO is going to be challenging so they want to show as many different streams of revenue as possible.
can you name a single from r/aww ? Could you even tell if they reopened it with new mods? People are not that passionate about mods from a sub about cute animals.

Even in subs where people are very passionate about moderation, they just give up and forget about it very quickly because it's not worth it. r/Animemes/ still has orders of magnitude more visitors than the alternative people moved to after their big mod drama.

Extremely few people interacts with mods and care about them

> YouTube search is officially trash. It doesn’t even support excluding terms

Thinking back to around 1995-2005, I really regret how so many "search" tools (both online and in certain OSes) have become opaque and unreliable "let me guess it for you" engines. Features to correct them when they are wrong--like negation of terms--are sometimes unreliably badly/non-documents, or nonexistent.

It's not a lack of knowledge or skill--FFS Youtube owner Google has its own history as a search engine there--but all the commercial incentives aligned for Enshittificiation, and I wish I knew how to fix it.
It's me. I am that blogger.

You're 100% right and weirdly, that did not occur to me until today. Insightful comment!
It's not a random bonus though. It makes sense in the context of the promotion.

In any case, that is far off the point of my comment, which is explicit in the very first sentence. You tried flipping my argument but destroyed the context in the process.
"Private Equity" is a bit too broad of a term to have a single explanation (i.e. there are a few different categories of PE strategy).

In its purest form resembling instance, PE is a decomposer. It takes a business that isn't particularly healthy (due to mismanagement, sector headwinds, etc.), and efficiently disintegrates it into raw material (various forms of capital, essentially) for eventual re-allocation elsewhere. It profits and reproduces as a side-effect of playing its role in the recycle of raw material.

It's sad because a company that played a meaningful role for people and other companies is dying and being sold for parts, but it's the cycle of life – not every company is meant to endure indefinitely.

Means plus opportunity. During COVID, there were legitimate shortages and supply chain disruptions that caused price spikes and (in some cases) additional profits. When these subsided, firms now had the opportunity to test whether holding prices at this newly elevated level would be tolerated. When the state failed to act to stop them, instead colluding with firms and the media to blame the price increases on thing like spent-and-gone stimulus and labor shortages, they saw they had a free hand to keep prices (and profits) as is. There was no guarantee that this would play out this way until it did, which these monopolies then took advantage of to keep prices artificially high.
I had not reached the deductible on whatever plan I had at the time when I made an office visit for chronic sinusitis. I had been suffering for at least 6 months. It was affecting my work.
