Great point, mods are acting like the users support them, when in reality a tiny handful support them extremely loudly, but it's unclear how the vast majority of users feel.
There was a constant homeless encampment here in Boise under the I-184 overpass over 16th street a while back. The city of Boise (to their credit) let those people be there for maybe two years or so as they didn't really cause any issue. Then a murder happened there. And now it's a skate park.

https://www.ktvb.com/article/news/local/homeless-camp-under-...

The right answer is to house the homeless.

The wrong answer is for Boise to be the homeless Mecca from Portland, Spokane, SF, and Seattle -- who seem to be actively working to get their homeless to move to other cities.
A tool that will automagically scrape a subreddit and convert it for transferral to mastodon or whatever.

We could really use that right now.
Some large communities have migrated by force previously. Not that it's any good, but communities.win (or whatever they go by now) does seem to have maintained its population of right-wing refugees, /r/drama seems to be keeping their own site afloat. /r/startrek set up their own Lemmy instance, so we'll see how that goes over time.
Try Lemmy.world. Currently the fastest growing Lemmy server. It feels basically like any other social media site, like Hacker News or Reddit. I was using it, and seeing people post from other servers was pretty seamless and felt intuitive.

Honestly, I say this all the time but I think people just need to treat federation like it's email. The difference is that the "email threads" are public to all, rather than in your inbox.
A quick search shows my personal definition of "vast majority" and "overwhelming majority" may be reversed. I would consider overwhelming>vast, so 70% is fine for vast but apparently I'm wrong.
okay but whistleblowing is good - I still don't get why you keep harping on this idea that if they revealed something secret about someone else, they'll reveal something secret about you, like - what kind of threat is that supposed to be?

again, I feel like this is you projecting - what are you hiding, anyway?
> Is there any example of this happening in the real world? I've never heard of one.

1) How would you know if your idea or code were ripped off, unless it was an exact bug-for-bug copy?

2) These things have only existed for 5 minutes.

3) Google knows exactly how these models and their interfaces work, and has probably speculatively designed many ways to mine inputs for interesting items.

> Even if you were to give me access to some google source code free and clear I'm not sure what I could do with it.

They're not afraid of you. I wouldn't know what to do with five pounds of gold or a bag full of stolen jewels. Doesn't mean they're not valuable to someone.
Enshittification of the Internet
Once in a while dealerships are motivated to dump stock at a loss. Not a great argument for the system but who’s to say the OP didn’t get a good deal.
I have literally paid for the Reddit app that I use. And I would not mind paying a recurring fee if it was reasonable. Users for third party apps are most likely to be the most addicted users of reddit. If investors can't tell that, they deserve to watch their investment fail.
Here in Ontario at least, when you transfer ownership of a bike, you have to get it certified for safety. In my case, the bike was an '81 xs400 which required a fork seal replacement and new front tire (due to side wall damage). With parts and labour I paid approximately $500. Fair enough.

Now, if he had recommended a full carb clean and battery replacement, of course that would bring the total to over $1000. Those recommendations are optional though, and your bike can live without them (if you enjoy using the kickstarter constantly ;)
I've posted this a few times, but there's a snapshot of reddit from 2017 that you can self host:

https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit

Why not just do that? Sure, it's a lot of python, and probably full of security holes, but there are enough reddit users to fix that, and the risk that your reddit instance might be taken over by malicious people is lower than the risk that centralized reddit will (since it already has been...)

Anyway, each time I link to it, I get crickets in response. Not sure why.
Fair enough. For sure it's subjective factors (personal taste, etc) + objective ones (surrounding lighting, time of day, how long you've already been looking at a screen, and so on ...).
For me on Firefox drop downs are unusable as the selection keeps jumping around. Also when scrolling the whole content jumps.
The username thing makes sense for discord, in that few people can remember the number that comes after it.

I snagged a four letter username that was my username without the number so I'm happy about that.
None of those things were invented or really developed by the "crypto sector" merely utilized by it. That's not a bad thing but it's disingenuous the crypto sector is really advancing any state of the art. It's implementing existing technologies mostly to facilitate scams and tax evasion.
Twitch revenue was 2.8 Billion last year. In what way does prioritizing more revenue mean they will achieve a viable business model when they're already generating billions.

Business types want you to think they're tidying up, but most are using this zeitgeist as an opportunity for greed and the chance to shift more power away from workers.
Wasmer Edge: WebAssembly on the Edge
That trope is about something so forgotten that any discoveries would be entirely unexpected. But awareness of Rome was never lost, quite the opposite. Even bureaucratic connections survived, they just shifted back a gear from political to spiritual authority. Most nominal titles like count or duke assumed by european nobility derive their names from some role in Roman administration, they all considered themselves as continuation of something that never disappeared but merely changed shape.

There are countless independent mechanics who service most cars. Teslas have other issues that make them difficult to service. I think this argument is a red herring.
Apple was a few months from bankruptcy during most of the 90s competing with IBM and Microsoft, then turned around to become the most profitable company on the planet. It takes a leader and a plan and a lot of talent and the exact right conditions, but industry behemoths get pulled down from the top spot all the time.
Picking a Lemmy server mostly matters because different servers will have different moderation practices, UIs, and communities. So you should pick a server that gels with what you want from a community. Also keep in mind many servers have explicit federation block lists.

Once you've picked a server and signed up, you can access any community on any other server by just searching for the community url on your instance. If you subscribe, your instance will begin federating that community to your instance.

It's pretty well described here - https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/federation_get...

So far for me, I've noticed about half of my communities are instance local, and half are federated. The expectation I think is different communities in different instances will win and be the primary places for games, or technology, etc.
...Games contain tropes (story elements)

...Recognising tropes in a given game can be challenging

...Using them to generate game narratives can be challenging

...Tropetwist can generically describe the story structure of a game

...It can create a graph of a game's story and then variations of the story

...These variations can then be measured in terms of their coherence and interestingness, which in turn affect their playability

Or something like that
People in the medical field refer to motorcycle riders pejoratively as "organ donors".

Which is fair, given how most riders I see out on the road have zero concern for their own safety, let alone others.
Wondering if that wouldn't fall into a warrantless search.
I greatly appreciate your second link and will have a look at it later. I'm very curious how they got such a high figure for the nuclear cost given a look at even more expensive modern nuclear reactors costs gives a number of around $0.07/kWh.
They're especially good attack vector, because a lot of seemingly smart people may not realize that the little tool for pretty-printing JSON or changing User-Agent header could also be recording and sending out everything that goes through it.
Okay the various car commercials that advertise basic economy cars by portraying owners of all other cars as sheep or similar works.

Essentially all cars are sold in the tens and hundreds of thousands to people who live in generic suburbs with HOAs that mandate beige conformity.

A. Looking the same apparently is not a real issue for most people, although simultaneously fake individuality is used heavily in marketing.

B. As nearly all modern commercial items are mass produced and generic, personalizing them would be done by customizing them after the fact, not by buying a similar but different mass produced item. This customization is almost never done, see point A.

> I’m glad and feel lucky to live in a city with good public transportation

I wish we had good public transportation here, but I do feel lucky to live in a city where Uber hasn't destroyed the taxi industry. I've been to cities where Under and Lyft were the only viable options, and it makes me really miss taxis.
The problem with the Fediverse as it currently stands is it goes against my long time use of forums. I'm usually only logged in on a desktop where I would post comments from. Most of my reading happens on pad, mobile or work where I have little desire to log in and in the case of a work computer I refuse to log in to anything personal. Kind of defeats the purpose of the whole thing...
Sigh... one more device to buy and put in my shelf with RaspberryPis, Arduinos, eInk devices and ESP32s.
They do, though. There's an app-store icon right in the video. That very much implies it'll be downloading and running apps locally.
I don't see why not. I've had multiple positions in the industry. The ones where I was happiest and most productive where when I was emcoiraged to have work life balance.

> C programs unavoidably interact directly with the GIL?

Bingo. They don't have to, but often the point of C extensions is performance, which usually means turning on parallelism. E.g. Numpy will release the GIL in order to use machine threads on compute-heavy tasks. I'm not worried about the big 5 (numpy, scipy, pandas, pytorch, and sklearn), they have enough support that they can react to a GILectomy. It's everyone else that touches the GIL but may not have the capacity or ability to update in a timely manner.

I don't think this is something which can be shimmed either or ABI-versioned either. It's deeeep and touches huge swaths of the cpython codebase.
What area of science are these applications for?
HN is already in Eternal September for a while. 10 years ago HN was different.
"Pornographic" is a big stretch there. It doesn't appear to intend to be arousing, so I have a hard time calling it pornography. The subject matter combined with the art style is a little jarring, but less pornographic than half of Instagram or Tiktok.

> Why do you want this to be shown to children?

Because our sex ed is terrible to the point of being useless, and this seems better than "sex ed brought to you by PornHub". From the bits of the book I saw (Let's Talk About It, if I'm not mistaken), it actually talks about how to have positive sexual experiences and includes non-cis and non-straight folks. You know, all the stuff that people normally have to figure out (or not) by trial and error over years.

It's worth bearing in mind that the average age of virginity loss in the US is 17, so ~ half of the students in a high school would have had sex already. The average age for someone to first see pornography is 11-12 in the US. This book is likely not the first place someone would see a penis or vagina, and I would prefer that children had some reference other than literal porn for what healthy sexual activity is.
The comparison of incubation periods, adoption curves etc between crypto to ML cannot take us very far.

The reason is that "ML" (as a proxy for algorithmic processing of a variety of data) is not particularly adversarial to pre-existing technologies. While this is not entirely true (there is always a hidden or explicit tension between automation and expert assessments) by-and-large this tension can be managed. The new tech gets bolted on the old.

In contrast crypto sought to overthrow all pre-existing monetary and financial system technology with proposals that are naive, half-baked and ignore (or reinvent in unacknowledged manner) vital aspects.

The practical implication is that crypto cannot carve a legitimate niche and keep iterating.

The main outcome of a lot of wasted energy (in all senses) is to point out that indeed, digitization opens up the way to evolve the financial system.

So much we knew, but now it has been drilled into the heads of large swaths of politicos, regulators, bankers etc that are completely tech illiterate.
And consider the relative cultural relevance of today's magazines and the historical ones you've chosen.

For all the moaning about how we've lost a monoculture because we don't all watch the same TV channels, I think those people are too young to remember things like LIFE magazine, the big, unavoidable, pictorial shared American experience, never really breaking news but always showing us the zeitgeist in broad strokes.

Today's magazines have niche or tabloid appeal at best.
Minor nitpick: Python can perfectly well do concurrency. What you mean is parallel execution (multi-threading).
By doing harm to a company you can still do harm to the owners, employees and clients of that company. You'd only be changing the entities involved in the process, not the outcome.
What is a pain is „joining a remote community nobody on your instance has joined so far“.

For the usual cases the normal UI should work fine.
I know it would be technically feasible, but would it be fully legal for Lemmy to scrape and re-populate posts from all of Reddit's niche community subreddits (and threads and conversations), 1:1, even maintaining the original user names associated with them... but not connecting them to actual accounts? Almost like static content. And they could use that as a basis for the new community, so that there is at least a baseline repo of content to peruse as real members start to join and post new topics/content?

I feel like that's a nice unorthodox way of making it not feel so viscerally "new and empty", which is usually what leads to a kind of inexplicable ick factor most people have when evaluating whether or not to join a community.
Yeah, and "wherever the community happens to be" will be Reddit. Mods have zero control over this.

> shitty Facebook groups

Are you serious? That is the most useful and well done function of Facebook!
The accounts are all mostly real names so there is much less toxicity. Instead you get enthusiasts around a topic that can discuss issues in a constructive manner - or at least more constructive than Reddit.

To echo what another commenter said, I feel like a lot of the suggested alternatives are missing the mark a bit in regards to understanding what Reddit actually is (a community of communities). It seems like a lot of the platforms that are popping up are more akin to being just a huge bucket full of posts with hashtags opposed to being a collection of communities. They are sort of missing out on capturing the community part.

Shameless plug, but that's been a focus of ours with the platform that I've been building (sociables.com). We are trying to create an all in one stop for people to create communities, and not just posts.

Here's an example of a community on the platform:

At these scales "wealth" becomes almost impossible to quantify in any meaningful way. These lists gather some rather arbitrary metrics and combine them into a single number.
Comparison only makes sense within a narrow field, comparing Musk, Bezos, etc. is somewhat reasonable as their wealth is mostly the value of their companies multiplied by their ownership percentage.

Comparing the Saudi regent to an american buisiniess man in networth seems quite meaningless.
Are these moderation tools any better on other platforms?
Another question: Why does nuclear power plant demolition also cost so much and so long?
Ah. Well, when phrased that way, that's more a general problem with installing extensions, especially ones where the recent version hasn't yet gone through Mozilla review (or whatever the equivalent is for Chrome).

Welp, fortunately, I've never had the slightest desire to install a json parser, the Firefox built-in formatting/parsing is quite adequate for my needs. Anything really complex filter-wise I just turn to jq.

> I think it's six of one half a dozen of the other. Car manufacturers generally coalesce around the efficiency of having new sales, parts departments, repair departments all in one building in many localities spread all over the place.

Why exactly must this be an independent business motivated to collect rents on top of what the manufacturer is already making? Hard to see how that could do anything but drive prices up to keep more fingers in the pie.
I absolutely despise Discord. I understand that it’s essentially a chat room for communities where content is ephemeral, but so many communities use it slightly differently. For example lots of communities use it to provide help to other users but then complain when users ask the same questions over and over. (See Python discord)

What I like about Reddit or any forum is the ability to search for a topic or question you need help with and then see people discussing it and resolving it. Forums are a great Archive for discussions like this.

Where discord plays a good role is in fleeting chat. Water cooler type chat. Discord is fun if you’re heavily involved in a community, you can spend many hours a day in your favourite discord but for someone like me who just likes to pop in a now and again, it’s borderline useless.

I suppose what I’m getting to is that, for me, discord is for low effort throwaway chat, Reddit or HN for that matter is better for discussions that should be read again by interested minds.
"Hookups" encompasses activity other than sexual intercourse. This book would likely help its readers negotiate how to engage in that activity safely and with consent. And 13-year-olds hook up with each other, as do kids 14 and older, which your daughter will in all likelihood become.

Again, if you had bothered to actually read the book, rather than make a snap judgment based on a one-sentence summary on the internet, you'd probably be better informed.

Moving data is always the trickiest part! We get a lot of Heroku customers who need help with their data migration. My honest answer is there will always be some downtime while the switch over is happening, but we know of a few ways to reduce it. Unfortunately Heroku PG databases don't allow outside replication setup, so we can't really baseline your data and then close the replication gap with a shorter downtime. But we do support multi-DB solutions so we can run against an old and new DB at the same time while data is gradually being moved over. If you're interested, ping me at hello-at-cloud66.com if you want to discuss further :)

Communities with sufficient interest in existing with any control over their future and content may need to fund themselves via donation.

Also, in the 90s and early 00s, game servers cost money for many online FPS games - people hosted long running communities. Sometimes surviving via donation, sometimes just the benevolence of a person into the hobby with money. Community finds a way.
I'm reasonably certain that the team developing this have enough on their plate to not write their own custom apps just yet, and they're certainly not going to let 3rd parties close to it just yet.

There is an App Store icon in the video when the "menu" comes into view. That's a pretty heavy implication that there's going to be native apps running on the thing.
> there's too much friction required to find their communities and aggregate them into a single usable feed with a nice client.

This is what old reddit did so well. You just open reddit.com and you see a dense wall of stories, along with vote count, number of comments on each story, and which subreddit that particular story came from.

All in ZERO clicks. No images or graphics at all, aside from little thumbnails you can easily ignore. Minimal, dense, and clutter-free.
Huh? Did you intend to respond to a different comment?
My house was built in 1885, timber framed. There's no rot, it's been maintained, re-plumbed and re-wired a few times, and new owners only need to keep with basic maintenance. It's been insulated as well, utility bills are in the $90-150 range depending on how extreme the seasons get. The structure has another century left in it, easy.
Lemmy is a good idea with a terrible name and a misunderstanding of the experience users look for, much like mastodon. For example, I will never join any of these services but I will browse r/All, many lurkers drive traffic and reddit would be almost nothing without r/All which I can't figure out if lemmy has.

Yeah, but try running ML projects on your AMD card and you'll quickly see that they're an afterthought nearly everywhere, even projects that use PyTorch (which has backend support for AMD). If consumers can't use it, they're going to learn nvidia and experience has shown that people opt for enterprise tech that they're familiar with, and most people get familiar hacking on it locally
There it is. The obligatory comment on every Python thread on HN. It's most popular programming language in the world. Other people can figure it out, apparently.
