... in rare, exceptional cases which are extremely unlikely given the teamwork and papertrails of modern day health care systems, as others have already pointed out to you, but which you keep dropping. Once that context is added your claim (the one I quoted in my previous reply) does not follow.

> No perhaps about it, secrecy is part that can only really be discarded in non-iterated settings, in the endgame.

No idea what that means.

> Of course you know that "habit" ... is a categorically weaker insurance against rule-breaking than habit plus belief in the principle ...

Actually I don't know that. Do you have empirical evidence for it? Evidence with regard to moral views with norms in a multi level structure, like what act utilitarianism tends to have, compared to views with a single or fewer such levels?

> Yes, for example the effective altruism movement is comprised of generic totalitarian scum ...

I hear you reporting your contempt and your intuition. I'm waiting for supportive evidence, studies.

A bad-behaving billionaire. But I don't know if his behaviour is worse on average than billionaire peers who hold other moral belief systems.

> Jaywalking isn't what the "pivotal act" theory entails, and your theory about total death is specious and motivated by the political benefits of such an act.

No idea what that means.

> I believe that lying is wrong qualitatively too, so for me, the logic of habitually being honest applies in the way it cannot apply to a utilitarian, even if you can design a hypothetical where I would have to agree that lying is justified.

What does "wrong qualitatively" mean and how does it differ from "wrong non-qualitatively" or "wrong" simpliciter? I so far don't see anything in the sentence that gets you out of the bind of the hypothetical I presented.

edit: It is clear that you contempt the "EA consensus position on AI safety". But it isn't clear what you think that position is nor what other position you think is better nor how you think that other position is reached from intuitive deontology or some other normative theory.
Could be due to home feeds not having enough cached content as a lot of the first page posts went private and had to be skipped? Would have led to have to go deeper in lists of posts to fill the first page and causing more cache misses and db reads and performance issues.
I love the business model. Have you checked in with credit card processors yet regarding "no content type demonitization"? Cool in principal but many sites like onlyfans have gone through hell with credit card issuers playing the moral police.

Also, have you considered making it a foundation or non-profit as a business model? IMO the for-profit nature of Reddit is behind its troubles right now. You could pay yourself a handsome salary as the foundation's CEO while still keeping things pro-user.
Can you elaborate? For us cloudflare has been incredibly reliable and incredibly cheap, although we'd consider moving if there was a better option.

I'm not aware of this perception, have you had issues with cloudflare? Does fastly have a better offering?
Ok, but plenty of old people do work menial jobs out of necessity. This particular old man can be a symbol of that to the author regardless of the specific circumstances regarding the old man’s employment.
>After all, the other participants didn't turn into serial murders, now did they?

I've seen this argument a few times in this thread, and I hope I can explain my disagreement here. Even if not everyone subjected to this experiment becomes a terrorist, and even if there is something specific to Ted K.'s psychological makeup that made him become a terrorist after undergoing the experiment, that does not mean we can totally shift the blame away from the experimenters. Suppose that in the parallel world where he did not get experimented on, he would not have become a terrorist, we can still blame Murray (and/or the CIA) for taking (abnormal and extreme) actions that turned him into a terrorist.
Don't count on it.

I'm afraid Steve Huffman made the correct calculation that Reddit's network effect is large enough that the wound it'll sustain with the API lockout won't be enough to imperil the platform.

On the scale of other platform enshittification (Digg in particular), this one isn't directly user-hostile enough, and the aren't any good enough alternatives.

Enshittification is basically inevitable for (venture)capitalist-funded online platforms. My biggest disappointment is that Reddit went that venture-capitalist (or adjacent, whatever) route, I thought/hoped their "Reddit Gold" approach was good enough to be sustainable.

It does before user scroll down the page a little. That's what he called dynamic viewport being added to spec. It was to address issue of incorrect viewport height (100vh) when the toolbar is visible. So units such as svh, lvh, and dvh are added.
As someone who was on reddit for about as long, I miss that. But I wonder if it's really reddit I miss, or the naive web we had back then, that allowed people to get excited? Back when everything was not engineered specifically to grab the most attention, I felt more like we were actually communicating. Nowadays we're just collectively filtering noise it seems.

Got my download - 2.4GB. Uploaded it - Safari chugs badly here.

If you leave that tab at all, it breaks and restarts which cancels the import process.

Once it's uploaded the file, Pixelfed wants you to tap each image you want to import in a 3-wide scrolling grid and there's no "select all" I can see. Plus it is now DOG SLOW.

I have 9052 Instagram posts. Bugger that, frankly, because I'm not spending upwards of 3 hours clicking on a web page to import photos.

In summary - nice idea badly implemented.

[edit: Tried it in Chrome. Upload is much smoother and more reliable but still no "select all" and it still chugs like a 1970s PC - a good 30s between clicking and the image being selected.]

Congrats on the launch.
Over 300 people gathered at St. Paul's Church in Fürth, Germany, to attend an experimental church service powered by ChatGPT, an AI chatbot developed by OpenAI. The service, which took place during the Deutscher Evangelischer Kirchentag (German Evangelical Church Congress), featured a 40-minute sermon delivered by computer-generated avatars on a screen above the altar, according to a report by the Associated Press. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36297251
Why not pin your business model as the top post for awhile until it catches on?
Long essay that doesn't really say much? What if ChatGPT could be like LARCS? But isn't building something like LARCS the goal of ChatGPT? I don't follow the argument that billions of dollars have been wasted building this, but we could have built that, which is actually the same thing?

This question seems to ignore how RAM works in the Apple Silicon machines. It's part of a system--as available, as quickly, to the CPU as to the GPU.
" There isn't, and there has never been, a large (hundreds of millions of active users) online community that wasn't run by a for-profit entity."

What?

Sure there have been.
Somethingawful?
4chan?
Wikipedia?
Usenet?
etc

They each commanded a significant portion of the attention of the community on the internet at the time.

If you don't limit it to hundreds of millions, i belong to mid-sized successful communities (woodworking, electrical, DIY, etc) that are maybe 100k-1 million users, doing fine, have been doing fine for decades, and don't have for-profit entities behind them.

In fact, almost all meaningful communities i have belonged to online were not run by for-profit entities. Some later got taken over by for-profit entities, but then failed ;)

"does seem to lie in hosting and running such a community, and in attracting users. If that wasn't so immensely difficult and expensive, everyone would be doing it."

This is not at all related to the for-profit piece. The difficulty is in becoming popular, which seems to be, maybe mostly luck? Because unlike what you say, everyone is doing it.
Is there any evidence at all that the for-profit was a pre-req to being popular?

In a world where reddit was not for-profit from the start, i don't think it would have changed anything.

It was a place that most Digg users were willing to go to. That was dumb luck. If Digg had not been so stupid, Reddit would not be popular, for-profit or not.

yes, with vfio. I've had a windows 10 in a VM on my "main desktop" for nearly 3 years now. Gentoo gets two screens and an "ok" GPU, windows gets the beefier GPU and its own screen. I use qemu, there may be other ways to do it. The linux machine can't "see" the other GPU or screen(s).

if you want to do this, there are a couple of gotchas. One i'd recommend bearing in mind is not using identical cards. Either two vendors or two different types of cards (like a 1060 and a 1070). This makes it easier to stub the windows card and also write/edit the scripts (which are probably searchable on goog with "vfio-bind").

The second is one that i lost the information about, but if it affects you, it should be possible to dig up the info. Some games get micro-stuttering or stuttering when running with vfio under qemu; the fix can be an application that applies settings on windows or editing the windows registry.

All that aside, it works fine. The audio latency is minimal, but if you have a machine with more than 24 PCIe lanes, you can just dedicate an entire USB PCI card to windows, passing that through and plugging all the windows related hardware through that.

I think Linus (LTT) mentioned doing something like this, virtualizing even multiple windows machines on a single machine with the threadripper (32-64 lanes) and Epyc (64, 96, or 128 lanes) - having a dedicated USB and GPU for each virtualized desktop. Nice.
In your "ideas" phrasing the exceptions seem implicit rather than explicit by virtue of not covering everything. I think it's better to be explicit about "you can do whatever you want, except [..]".

That some people will try to abuse this seems inescapable no matter what; we'll still be argueing the details 200 or 2,000 years from now because there is no way to capture any of this in clear neat rules. The best we can do is come up with some decent set of ground rules which convey the intent and purpose as best as possible. This is why we have judges to, well, judge, and "reasonably harm people in a significant way" seems like a lot clearer of a guideline for this than a much more vague "ideas".

Flag burning wasn't protected as free speech in the US until 1989. I have a list of stuff that was banned or censored in the past that would be considered unobjectionable by almost everyone today, and I suspect things would have been better if we had "freedom of expression" instead of "freedom of speech" (or "free exchange of ideas", for that matter).
I do agree that thinkpenguin seems to want to have their cake and eat it too.

However, I think the claim that they can go after a website even if that website does not do business in Europe is entirely unreasonable.
It's a deliberate gatekeeping mechanism. 4chan isn't a monolith, either. Some communities are tucked well enough away that it isn't _as_ needed. Furthermore, it isn't hate of "others" so much as it's a hate of all.
Success measured how? There seems to be a limited supply of decent men so it seems.
I'm not certain I do. I feel like we may be arguing the same side here? What I'm hinting at is that unless concrete results don't begin to materialize and that right soon the resulting climate driven geopolitical upheaval, and knock-on effects to global logistics, is quite likely to result in a significant downsizing of both global GDP and the world population. Perversely both of these obviously bad outcomes will very likely improve global carbon emissions. Here's a really shitty joke for you: How do you reduce your carbon footprint by 100% overnight? Shoot yourself in the head. How do you reduce your carbon footprint by 900% overnight? Go shoot your neighbors in the head. :/
The CNN article seems not to justify the claim of "change". The experiment appears to demonstrate that obese people's brains do this, while non-obese people's brains do that, but the inference that the obese brains started out just like non-obese brains is unsupported.

I think 4chan's "solution" to the moderation problem is more or less the way it will end up being at most places which have a long-term (approaching two decades) survival rate.

Absolutely nobody can agree on what should and should not be moderated to some perfect degree, and here the perfect is not only the enemy of the good, it's the enemy of sanity. It always starts off with some easy low-hanging fruit, and then it ends up with people rage-quitting because some moderator has taken the "wrong" stance on discussions about Israel and Palestine, something small like that. The more control, the more that needs to be controlled. It just invites people to filter ever-finer, based on the narcissism of small differences.

Ideally, offer some kind of client-side filtration. Let the user maintain it, let them run into the Scunthorpe Problem for themselves. Rate-limit the spam, and be robust about that, but everything else is up to the individual. And frankly, the people who have selected fragility as a kind of lifestyle rarely have much to offer a community anyway.

I say this as an Old who has watched communities arise, develop, and fold over decades, on platform after platform, protocol after protocol. Most deaths are the kind of slow-motion suicide that in humans would be reflected in lousy lifestyle choices. And one I see so, so very often is becoming intensely rulebound so that everyone will behave. It never works.

This attitude is the reason why this keeps happening. I don't agree that it's Amazon's job to police how I use my own device.
I like the snappy UI, but I think it needs a search box for communities/posts at least.
You misunderstand my point. Kind, considerate, thoughtful and well intentioned people can be found anywhere online. Bringing them up as an example of the unique nature and power of 4chan's community is disingenuous. 4chan is unique in its tolerance for hate speech, but with any other kind of speech, it's no more or less free than elsewhere.

Thank you everyone in this thread for suggestions.

I personally learn by practice. Writing stuff. I've read good things about the "Modern Perl" but I'll check out Conway if people here are vouching for it. Also, Perl's manpages actually teach you the language - another advantage of an older language from a time when people knew what manpages were and how to write them. They're not OpenBSD quality, but they're pretty good from my experience.

Fairly often, people who lived in exactly the same time judged their contemporaries too by the exact same standards you complain about. There is this knee jerk assumption out of nowhere about pretty much any bad act by major popular figure being chalked up to their naivite or just them being product of times with zero own thinking agency.

Sometimes it is the case, but also plenty of times these were conscious decisions or strongly criticized by contemporaries.

I feel like Jump 'n Bump probably has a special place in the hearts of people who had access to the internet at a particular time. The internet was available, but multiplayer online gaming was still out of reach for many with it - there was an amazing niche of fairly polished indie local multiplayer games. Imagine being told while playing it back then what would be possible a few decades later.

(see also https://github.com/midzer/jumpnbump)

Now need someone to do other games of that time, place and genre: Tremor 3, C-Dogs, etc.
Enshittification is caused by greed, so unless you've fixed greed, it's going to continue. Every site that has deliberately made their site shitty probably has some "math with dollar signs" to back it up. We're lucky that HN is pretty much a side-show for YCombinator. If there was even a remote chance that it could make a significant amount of money (compared to YCombinator's actual business), I guarantee you we'll be reading "Announcing HN's Redesign" pinned to the top one day.

>I see this view a lot - what I rarely ever see is a concrete discussion about what exactly is wrong with the "foundation" of javascript.

The things that were added mostly were to fix problems of JS:

arrow functions => because of "this" shenanigans

template literals => I'd say a basic part of a language

async/await => Promise/future hell

destructuring, classes, enhanced object literals => These are all syntactic sugar/nice to haves. Nothing really was broken here.

native modules => Another time I'd say that it's a basic part of a language
My understanding was that this is a requirement of translation, specifically because many things do not translate literally? Like wordplay, or idioms, or euphemisms.
I’m with you here.

I was in the world record secret Santa and it was the funnest coolest thing ever (they sent me my world record letter even!)

Pre-subreddits, it felt very similar to HN (which they ofc have the same birthplace) and the real gold was in the comments, which made it stand out from all others and made it less about you and more about us.

When subreddits started it was totally game changing and from there on it was great.

The Condé Nast thing was weird but it didn’t really change anything, but slowly it felt like it was trying to always “grow up” but never figured out that it didn’t need to

All this nonsense going public is expected but it’s sad and another victim of late stage thunderdome capitalism.

This is the first time I've heard of a cultural practice that I cannot fathom. Not "wow that was crazy for the time", but "I don't understand how this ever made sense".

NYC Housing Market Rent Prices Are Skyrocketting
I think social networks and community driven websites/applications simply have a lifecycle. They all eventually crash and burn, only for a newer (note: newer is not the same as better) one to grab the share of users. It's a slightly stretched analogy, but each social network is a bit like a country/state. With a long view of history, it's rare for one to last a long time. History is riddled with failed states or once grand countries that everyone thought would last forever.

I've been toying around with the idea of an ActivityPub proxy/aggregator/delegation which would "front" all your services and act as a unified identity for the proxied instances.

It would inherently require trust, so the only way it would scale beyond self-hosters controlling their own domain would be co-hosted alongside some SSO-unified fedi services (or if S2S delegation becomes an adopted thing).

(If you run with this idea, consider AGPL for all parts :))
