The implication is that prioritizing the latter at all points in time is incompatible with the former. Seems reasonable enough. What does it mean to be "interested in moderating" if the outcome is that you do no actual moderation?

>And they're still insulting everyone's intelligence, as if a single mod reopening against strong subreddit consensus was something Reddit Inc. needed to begrudgingly "respect", rather than something they're eagerly encouraging.

For the sake of grandstanding you might want them to come out and say "any of you scabs want to cross the picket line for us?", but only spez would be stupid enough to actually do that.

Not with the Unsafe class. It was never intended to be used by anything except the built-in concurrency support classes, and it was just barely good enough. External libraries which made use of the Unsafe class did so by studying how it was used, and then assumed/concluded how it worked. Java 9 formalized everything with the VarHandle class, and it offers much more features than the Unsafe class.
I agree it depends on the community. r/stargate for example is pretty tied but the option to stay open is ahead by about 100 votes.

LLMs tokens are usually common word or parts of word, and it would be extremely weird for copilot to output them verbatim in generated code(I've actually tried a few times), or it would be random invalid keys since there is no real patterns in API keys

No, I claim that bad actors don’t need to come up with alternative because it’s easy enough to ship malware via official Android app store.

I avoided being fucked by Facebook by not having a Facebook account or logging onto their website. They still do facial recognition on me and can tell when I'm in a photo someone else uploads, but I don't think having an iPhone would protect me (or you) against that.

Why do I need an iPhone to not be fucked by Facebook?
> putting it in a mouse would NOT be zoonotic

It sounds like the claim is that it’s “from humanized (ACE2-transgenic) mice“. I assume “humanized” is referring to the genome or something else about the genetics but these organisms still shouldn’t be considered humans (or at least this opinion seems reasonable; if it’s factually wrong I’m open to being corrected).

But if it’s “from” non-human “to” human, isn’t that a zoonotic jump, or is there some mistake in this understanding?

Current VR headsets simply haven't been good enough for anything other than games and porn. Text is too difficult and painful to read for any extended period, which is an absolute minimum barrier to entry for almost any other computing task. I honestly believe Apple have solved this problem. Yes it's expensive, but I don't get any real indication they are lying about text being legible and comfortable for extended periods of time, which is a game changer IMO.
Show HN: adjust – dynamic adjustment for system parameters
I made a tiny utility to be able to adjust sound, brightness, gamma etc., from the terminal.

In the file ~/.adjustments, just add a name for the thing you want to control, then low high step and initial values, can be decimal, and then a line with the command you want to execute, with a single '%' being replaced with the value.

Hit 'q' to finish.

It's super handy to have ← → cursor keys to adjust a setting, rather than retyping the command in full.
Oh no. I'm so sorry.
The one bit of project estimation research that I actually believed was that project estimates are closely affected by timeline desires of major finders/"stakeholders".

Anecdata:

I once asked a VP of a major telecom why the project deadline was Sept 30 and not Oct 1 or Sept 28, and he replied "because my quarterly bonus depends on it"
There is also a difference in kind. "Crackberry" types were businesspeople, executives, politicians. People high in social hierarchies with a lot of sway. The people who use VR to that degree are, and I mean this as affectionately as possible, very unusual.

That's probably a big reason Apple has ignored the current VR market segment.
I don't change my opinion of David Baltimore or of SARS-CoV-2 based on his belief (I am actually completely undecided and have been waiting for convincing evidence of any kind for some time). Baltimore is actually a bit kooky, he's not the first Nobellist to do/say dumb things: the inventor of PCR, Kary Mullis, was an HIV-causes-AIDS denier https://www.ihv.org/news/2023-News/USA-Today-Fact-check-Rese... Anyway, Baltimore recanted some time ago, agreeing that he was far too strong in his claims (this is a common problem in science- people who are convinced often get really angry and insistent about their beliefs).

To be honest, I'm so unhappy with modern medical literature that even starting to try to understand a specific model would be highly unpleasant for me- generally, my experience has been that once I start pulling the threads on a paper that isn't strictly strong quantitative biophysics, the sweater comes apart. The vast majority of medical literature requires extensive analysis and a thorough understanding of all the context before you can even really start to make useful criticisms.

My general statement remains: my priors still place a higher weight on trusting papers in major journals that haven't been retracted yet, than on out-of-domain scientists on twitter. It may not even be true in this case- perhaps dawalker is actually totally right and you can't conclude much from the WOrobey paper. But more importantly: nobody yet has shown any true "smoking gun evidence" for the origin of SARS-CoV-2. I am not even going to get remotely excited about it for at least a decade, since that's about how long it takes for the community to calm down and start thinking rationally again.
I have an MIT licensed GitHub repo (created in 2019) that I purposefully left keys in and deactivated them before I even committed.

The repo is somewhat niche, and copilot will nearly (with some help) create the entire repo, including the original repos comments.... but won't generate the same keys no matter how hard I've tried.

I'm pretty sure there was some at least some sanitization before it made its way into the model.

Conspicuously absent from your arguments why Wayland isn't controversial: NVIDIA. Trick question long did it take to settle the controversy over which memory manager to use? The answer is indeterminable, as it is still ongoing. The NVIDIA proprietary drivers used with GBM and Wayland still work like crap, the driver architecture is stacked heavily in favor of EGLStreams, and there is no fix but to either switch to Nouveau and lose performance, CUDA, and lots of HW-accelerated video codecs, use GNOME or KDE and hope that they don't drop support for NVIDIA, or hope and pray that someday NVIDIA will open-source its drivers so that others can fix their bugs for them.

I also said it was a matter of user expectation. There's a level of extractiveness that is acceptable for users, because users get information, entertainment, etc. in return for their participation on reddit.

Of course, that's setting aside the more radical position of "social media is fundamentally harmful to humans, therefore we should all stop using it regardless".
Brilliant. This properly frames so much of what I have been seeing. I actually worked at a social media building their applications. When our business people spent so much time telling us to build things to show the user what we wanted to show them, I always thought how idiotic it was that we would pretend to know what our users want. It's a form of corporate narcissism. I left :)

So if I buy the philosophy (which I do), how do I (practically) get started? Let's say I want to use the internet to actually interact with people in my community. Is that even possible anymore? Do I just download Mastadon and start wandering the dark? I've wanted to penetrate this "intellectual" space but I just do not know how, and I am a software architect of 20 years.
That makes it even more likely it could have been humans, doesn’t it? Over a long period of time, probably lots of humans wandered deeper into the cave.

Gas is relatively clean-burning, but in cooking the vast majority of the energy is released out into the air rather than going to heating the vessel. So I don't have figures on this, but I think even coal power from the grid sent through an induction cooktop would be much cleaner than blasting natural gas in your home kitchen. So if you add in the climate perspective, that's another reason to at least encourage a shift.
The are optimizing for minimizing NOx, CO, unburnt hydrocarbons, and particulate matter. The timing of engines cannot be advanced so much to have high temperature burns which allows for NOx creation. See page 13 of https://nepis.epa.gov/Exe/ZyPDF.cgi/91010CTV.PDF?Dockey=9101...

How can this "tacit approval" be applied to mods but not the admin policies that constrain the mods? I participate on plenty of subreddits where the mods are clearly despicable; however, there are simply no viable alternatives in terms of the actual community content.

Why is it important? The world communicates through whatsapp, signal, telegram and some other stuff in China. The blue bubble argument is a red herring.
we need to develop the techniques (and then the tooling) so that the source code is sufficient to reconstruct the documentation.

LLMs are fit for this use. I think they could get trained on assembly language.

further, I think that at this point, the whole x86 spec is as impossible to analyze 'rationally' as any natural language. funny that it was created by dozens upon dozens of engineers in a rigorous and formal way; and the result is now mega complex. but I digress...

my point is to reconsider x86 spec as a 'natural' language which is the common "tongue" between software and PC hardware.

but by this point there's no expectation that a modern intel cpu is implementing the instructions in the way they were first created. it may well be emulating the x86 spec to the best of its capacity (another computer program "written" in 'microcode', a x86 virtual machine); so when thinking about x86 assembly spec as a language, the software computer is talking to the hardware computer; and if they agree the computer works. (so the socket and motherboard's buses can be understood as network devices xP )

finally, if I can come up with this (LLMs trained on assembly) so can any security researcher from any advanced academy or corporation.... meaning security researches NOT using LLMs like this ones I imagined are not doing their jobs correctly.
But again... the counter-claim is Apple is telling Facebook they can't track iOS users because Apple doesn't want to share that data with Facebook. But they (Apple) still track users.

> better suited for people with field experience who need the nice sheet of paper to move up in their field

That seems to be the case for online education in general.

> consider...community college and then...WGU

I agree. I've worried over what to say to kids facing the terribly high cost of university education these days. If you can find a good program at a community college (quality varies), I think this route would be no worse educationally than what you get at most traditional universities in the USA now.
> If subs are private, they are still accessible to subscribers.

No, this is not accurate.

A private subreddit is only accessible to "approved users", i.e. those on a list managed by the moderators. Subscribing is completely different; it's a private, user-settable flag whose only significant effect is to make the subreddit's content eligible to show up on your home page.

If you can't view a subreddit's content because it's private and you're not approved, then subscribing makes no difference. In fact, subreddit mods can't even see who's subscribed, nor can they prevent anyone from subscribing, even by banning them.

This may sound strange (and was equally strange to admit to myself) but I'm looking forward to "mamaging identities acrosz multiple boards" again. My brain seems to be wired to associate each of my hobbies with very different aspects of my personality, and visiting a little "walled" community for whatevet activity suits that current version of myself is a nice way to compartmentalize and stay focused on what I set out to accomplish in that moment. I loved Reddit for a time, but goodness, what a disjointed experience it was for me and my easily distractable attention span.
> Shifting focus to local in-person interactions and creating solid and sustainable relationships that don’t depend on the whims of the latest social media platform seems increasingly important.

I agree with this completely. I have formed many online relationships particularly in the music community starting during the COVID lockdowns and it has really struck me how ephemeral they are compared to IRL friendships. It’s so much harder to connect in a deep way. It’s also so much easier to walk away. You can just kind of slow down your online engagement and the relationship dries up.

I’ve also noticed how I tend to develop a certain impression of someone just based on their online artifacts (avatar, style of writing, emoji, etc) that often turns out to be gravely inaccurate when I finally encounter them in a “realer” format such as a video call. Sometimes I end up realizing that I’d likely not hang out with that person IRL. It’s disconcerting.

Lastly, I find I often feel uncertain about the connection I have in ways that I never feel with people IRL. For instance, wondering if my tone is off, wondering if the person isn’t perhaps as interested in whatever endeavour we are working on anymore, etc.

I am fortunate in that I have not been much of a feed-based social media user for many years, but my belief that community-based social media (eg Discord) might be better has been tested by these observations. As per your comment, I think RL is where it’s at.

Which brings it back into the realm of hobby. Note that if you are taking "hobby" as some sort of derogatory claim against it, that is not my intent.

> where the iPhone was a more-or-less drop-in replacement for the phone you already had, nine years after Meta bought Oculus VR is still a new device and a new category for almost everyone.

Soon enough the category will be a replacement for your home theater and/or your mobile entertainment device (i.e. tablet).

As simple as it might look, the most compelling mass-market use case I saw from Apple is... watching a movie on an airplane.

That experience is pretty crappy on current headsets because the resolution is low and the optical aberrations are very noticeable. The dual micro-OLED approach solves those problems. As production ramps up on micro-OLEDs the category will become 10x more affordable, and within 10 years I'd be surprised if 50% of people on commercial flights are not wearing this kind of headset.

To borrow a Steve Jobs phrase, I think of these devices can eventually become "a bicycle for the senses"[1] and open up all kinds of exciting use cases. But to get to mass-adoption you have to nail the basic stuff like watching a movie or TV show. We just haven't had a good device that can do that yet.

The only poll they did[0] had a staggering 88% in favor of the blackout, with 80% in favor of keeping the sub private as long as it takes for reddit to change their mind.

I partially reject the premise, that people who play video games are pursuing instant gratification vs. those who "work." Of the hundreds of people I've worked closely with, I've seen no significant difference in willingness to work among the two groups, and there are slackers in both. And, consistently, the gamers, players, infantilists, or whatever produce vastly more creative, interesting work and fine more creative and interesting solutions. In my experience the proper 28-year-olds who put on their proper adult suit and behave like proper adults give me work product that is, at best, competent. I'll take the gamer almost every time, because they're far more likely to be confident and creative.
