Sure they want a base, but how much would you bet that they wouldn't try to use the base for political purposes once the Americans have invested too much to walk away? The planners in the Pentagon want their bases for American purposes and only American purposes.
It's because reddit is an aggregator - by definition that is centralized.
In sleep, there is a state in which we have a inner mental narrative, with subjective sensations, thoughts, and emotions. And we usually forget it even if we remember at all; most of it never enters the awareness of our wake selves.
"Discord can make money selling ads too, and I would not be at all surprised to see ads in every Discord channel in the future, especially as (unlike Reddit) it doesn't have any third-party clients through which users can circumvent any ads Discord may want to show."

This sounds really uncool, like something that would make a trendy new social media platform flush with investment attractive!

That it's all about ads is the recurring problem.
Guess I just bought a multipack of gaskets at the right time then. It's been one of the few products I've bought that have genuinely improved my quality of life. I made bulk meals for freezing when we had a newborn. I use it weekly at least.
Concurrent state management is hard, and I remain disappointed that software transactional memory -- and pushing a DB-style approach to non-DB workloads generally -- hasn't caught on.

I think most "application" type programs would benefit from being able to manage state in terms of higher level transactional operations and let their runtime take care of serializing and avoiding deadlock and race conditions. Developers in those spaces have come to rely on garbage collection in their runtimes, I see no reason why they couldn't come to also rely on a fully isolated MVCC transaction model (and only get access to non-transactional memory in exceptional circumstances). Bonus points if said transactions tie back to the persistent RDBMS transaction as well.

There are too many minefields in manual lock management and the tools remain fairly low level. Ownership management in languages like Rust helps, following a discipline like an actor/CSP approach helps, etc. but in the end if there's shared state and there's parallel work, there's potential for trouble.

I always found that reddit was a really poor place for a community. Discord even seems better for the "community" bit. Reddit is okay for discovery.
An LLM backed by an embedding store absolutely backs its sources. It’s a solved problem. But people cling to the narrative because that takes the fear away.
Hah, so true! But, to be fair to HN users, I do find good information on here a lot. Whenever a tool or product comes up I don’t know, I tend to look it up in the HN search to see if there was ever any discussion of it. Tends to be a good way to find experience reports or possible alternative solutions.

I want to argue with your wise words, but I'm not finding any ground. It just upsets me that people can't manage to temper their cleverness with wisdom. I guess that's what I consider "intelligence". Cleverness tempered by wisdom. Thank you for your comment, it helped me sort out my own thoughts.
That's such a random suggestion. To switch from building a user application to building a tool for devs...that is in no way related to what you were working on?
By that criterion though, people like Edsger Dijkstra or Stephen Hawking would not be considered truly intelligent people. I think many would consider such a definition bizarre.
OTOH PG suggesting that some young people with zero experience with multithreading pivot to searching for the grail is, just, daft.

I disagree.

What we gained is a native module system that works the same everywhere (Nodejs, browsers, deno, Bun) vs CommonJS which was really only built for Nodejs (with compatibility layers for others).

We have a specification for this system and any changes done to it have to follow the same process as any other change done to the language (for better or worse).

We have top-level async support that works across import boundaries. This is less useful on the server, but in the browser? With just a `import thing from "https://example.com/foo.js"` I get a fully intialised library even if does async requests as part of its initialisation.

What we lost is just this

```
const someInitializedModule = require("module-name")(someOptions);
```

The `app.use()` example can be replicated with an async `import()`. Maybe it's not as elegant as before.

There's going to be a lot pain of transitioning a big ecosystem like Javascript's to ESM but is that really a reason to not evolve the language?

This was so snowflake-y, it really made me cringe. Please don't think she is typical of Americans abroad or even military families. I've lived in Korea over many years and have known several Koreans who studied or worked in Germany. They all told me they absolutely loved it there and were sorry to leave. While Germany doesn't run as smoothly as Korea (almost no place does), the general quality of life is comparable.
If you haul dirty stuff, it’s much easier to hose out a pickup than a cargo van or suv.

For a half way point between tent camping and pulling a camper/caravan, slide in campers work with pickups but not cargo vans. If using a cargo van for camping, you probably want something that allows you to stand. That calls for a high top or a conversion that adds a pop top.

Banning Emotion Recognition?
Specifically banned are "emotion recognition systems in law enforcement, border management, workplace, and educational institutions."

I'm very curious as to the reason for this kind of ban. It seems it may be designed to allow politicians who sometimes tend to distort the truth to get away with it. What are your thoughts?
That article is full of fallacies. Brick and mortars in other large cities aren't closing like they are in San Francisco, especially not in the the epicenter of the financial district. Hotel rates in other cities have reached record highs while SF has declined even with inflation.[1]

APISIX has a similar architecture as most of those products, it's just that it's specific to APISIX where the control plane is kept separate from the proxy and it configuration is pushed. The envoy management API is standardized enough now that there's a pretty big ecosystem built up around it, hence lots of open source and non-open source innovation.
Companies are ultimately controlled by their shareholders, no gentleman’s agreement needed. If that price falls far enough corporate raiders are happy to chop up the company for a quick buck.
Yes, that is what felt so strange. It's like you're awake, you feel a bit of cold in your arm, then you're waking up. No in between, just snap fingers and you are elsewhere.
I didn't go through the article completely, but I know it's seriously underrated. One of the things the article probably didn't mention is it's ability to reduce stress. Quite often I've noticed that i get stressed as I make no progress on my goals. With deliberate practice / deep work, i see myself making progress on a daily basis. Slowly, but definitely.
SW, couldn't get much nearer the coast, yep.

I don't think it was ever common parlance, just important to disambiguate in some industries. Similarly I think 'thou' (-sandth of an inch) is preferred over 'mil' since that's such a common abbreviation of 'millimetre' (which =39thou, so you want to get that right).
Meta Smart Glasses – Ray-Ban Stories
When you have absolute freedom to design the emails around the limitations, sure, that works and is certainly much better than the soup of tables and IE11/Office stuff.

However even with that you still gotta test on multiple clients.

If you want to use something like border-radius, for example, it won't work on some versions of Outlook, for example [1]. You either show a slightly different layout or you use workarounds. There are plenty of other examples like that.

I personally just use very simple emails, so it's <p> and <h1> etc. But other people have to work around those limitations, and not everyone is a developer with design knowledge that can tweak the design to a point where it is both simple and good looking.

The funniest thing that I saw was someone posting a long diatribe on one of these threads basically saying "don't do this, Reddit is the only free speech the internet has left!!!"

And totally missing the point that protesting IS free speech! And it isn't like this is really against REDDIT THE IDEA it's against the stance they are taking with these specific things.

I think it will eventually, for some users at least (already has for me) morph into "against reddit itself" but - I'm still for the idea of a link aggregator. I think it's a great idea.

I've been very skeptical of gamification ever since seeing a marketing agency constantly pitch it as a way to increase user engagement and sales. Now it's a red flag that makes me ask, "what are you trying to manipulate me in to buying or doing?" The experience has been impactful enough that even I stopped caring as much about "achievements" in actual games.

Duolingo is interesting because it shows me I'll still engage with gamification if my goals align, but all those mechanics become a bit heavy. When I want flashcards and grammar lessons, getting a game to manage pushed me away. Then, when I realized our goals didn't align due to Duolingo's ceiling, it didn't seem worth being pressed to such an uncomfortable degree. I won't let myself be mentally abused by a cartoon owl.
Thanks for the tip. I'll try this next time I'm about to spend ten minutes searching for some After Effects effect or shortcut.
The US public spending on healthcare per capita is more than most countries' combined private and public spending. So they pay the tax and also pay insurance.

>Now fast forward a decade. Google drop their "do no evil" motto and jack up ad prices. Online store now pays 10 times as much for their ads and have to raise prices to cover the costs.

This is just not true and not how Google's ads work.

Google has a bidding system. You don't have to pay their prices if your ads aren't profitable. You can pull out. You can go somewhere else. You can try other forms of marketing. You can make a better product, better landing page, better messaging so you can convert more users per click.

Your company is essentially competing with other companies for the click. If the price 10x, it's because other companies are willing to pay 10x more. If other companies are willing to pay more for the ads, then your product/business/marketing isn't as good as theirs.

Yes, the Factorio devs had an approach where they optimised everything happening in the game in the original singlethreaded environment, before moving onto multithreaded support. That's where the game is now, and as far as I understand it the multithreading occurs on each independent set of conveyor belts or belt lanes, and there's some info on that in this blog post[0] for anyone interested.

De Beers had an iconic monopoly on diamonds for over a century, but as far as I know the only time a major government really went after them was for colluding over industrial diamonds, which are actually important.

Ensuring that jewelry diamonds and checkered handbags are available at a competitive price would be an awful use of government resources, not least because the inflated price is the point of those products.

Luxottica (but only after the 2018 merger with their main competitor) would be a much better example.

There is an alt-med based on a connection with nature, herbs, rituals, and spirituality. Most people here will be skeptical about these - both rightfully and excessively.

At the same time, when there is a science- or tech-based promise of a miraculous cure, the same skepticism turns off. Partly as there is a real chance that something works; partly, it is wishful thinking or exaggeration.

For example, Less Wrong circles are (in principle) on scientific methodology and skepticism. But when the topic of brain freezing comes up, all skepticism disappears.

Adtech (helping sellers surface advertising to buyers) should be cleanly split from tech provision (selling IT products and services to buyers).

Further, the adtech business should be highly regulated, with the collection of data and profiling of individuals based on online behavior ideally prohibited. Digital ads are probably unavoidable, but should really just revert to be like the TV and newspaper ads of old.

Surveillance capitalism cannot be reformed, it must be banned. The "market" has malfunctioned big time and produced a monster.

There is nothing workable about the status quo. It holds back potentially tremendous potential and value, even just using conventional, monetary, yardsticks.

There is no way you can rollout next-gen "AI" and deeply impactful innovations around e.g., finance while the well is poisoned by this commingling of unsavory business models with legitimate pursuits.

Ok, I think I see where you're coming from. I think we're operating with a somewhat different idea of what the spiritual or numinous necessarily is or has to be. For me, mysticism was never all that appealing, regardless of what tradition it came from. I guess the mystic whose thought I'm most familiar with is Terence Mckenna, but I always ingested his thought with a sort of mysticism filter applied. I thought he had a lot of deep insights into some of the deeper paradoxes of our cultural fabric, and how they're illuminated by entheogenic drugs, but then he always had to go to some kind of crazy shamanistic new age crackpot place with it.

To me, the spiritual is more about integrating the internal world with the external, the present with our evolutionary past, the individual with the collective, the irrational and primal with the rational and civilised.

In my younger years, I was very judgemental of religion; I just didn't see any value, and saw it merely as obsolete intellectual baggage. I felt a distinct superiority from being free of this epistemic crutch. This actually changed over night when I took psychedelics for the first time(AMT, if anyone's curious). I had a powerful religious experience, felt a presence, "the love of god shining down on me", whatever the cliches are people use to describe experiences like this. This didn't affect my atheism, strengthened it if anything, but it did show me some of the value the religious find in their beliefs, and I gained a lot of respect for them. It also exposed one of the fundamental human paradoxes I mentioned above, namely the relationship between the internal world and the external world. And I've found drugs helpful in exploring that tension, as well as other tensions like some of the cultural delusions we all inevitably believe in one form or another.

Sex(the wilder the better) is similar in the sense that it makes nakedly(ha) obvious the fundamental paradox between being an animal and living in a civilisation. After all, how can you understand the human experience without first understanding the animal experience upon which it is built?

I could go on about this, but it's getting long winded, so I hope that sheds some light on why I think drugs and sex are valid "spiritual tools". There are many others too for sure. Like art, for instance. And not every tool is for everyone, of course.

I do agree that overt focus on one tool or perspective(I.e only living like an animal) can often lead one astray, and I've certainly gone astray myself. But I don't think it's inevitable. I think they more easily lead people astray when they end up in bubbles, like you hinted at. There's a process that's sort of analogous to how groups in social media end up being echo chambers with extreme views. I think this is a direct consequence of taboos built into Western society causing various groups too strongly self-isolate.
