IMO the problem isn't the consent because your latter point that someone using this is somewhat implicitly consenting to help save their life.

It's that "emergency services" is a euphemism for "the cops, who might harm, kill, or traumatize the person or anyone else who happens to be nearby." I know someone who had police guns drawn on them and was ultimately tazed and arrested because of their roommate's call to a hotline.

Extremely dangerous situation. It's not the fault of the hotline that police exist, but they do exist and so it needs to be considered carefully. Cops are one of the most dangerous things you could possibly expose someone in a mental health crisis to.
And that’s fine because the commercial value of Reddit is not in r/AskHistorians, it’s in r/aww and r/earthporn and r/mildlyinteresting.

People don’t get it, Reddit is fundamentally pivoting away from being a message board and pivoting towards being TikTok. In the TikTok model your comments and discussion are not the commercially viable product. The eyeballs are the product, comments are a flavor to show that other users engaged the content. You know how New Reddit doesn’t show you the comments very well? Think about that in this context - the comments are no longer what matters anymore.

And it’s ultimately not that hard to generate enough reasonably compelling content to keep people scrolling on those mindless frontpage subs. People will happily repost tumblr and TikTok just like they did a month ago. There will be a short term dip and in 6 months it’ll be completely back to normal.

People are fundamentally making a mistake here and thinking theres a scenario where the Reddit they knew 10 years ago will still exist in a year. It already has been dead for a couple years, and it is going to pivot even harder towards shallow content and mindless scrolling, user comments are not something they can commercialize.

It’s not that “Spez doesn’t get it!!!” it’s actually the users who don’t get it. Yeah they’re going to lose 10-20% of their users, they know. And they’re going to make 5x or 10x the revenue on the remaining 80%. Yes, it will be bland and suck for you, and it will make them a shitload of money. Not sure why this is so confusing for people - they don’t want you as the customer anymore. So long and good luck.

If users want to stay, customize their feed for whatever keeps their own eyeballs engaged, great. But Reddit can’t commercialize it unless it’s on a first party app or website. The mod stuff is fixable and they’ve said they’ll be flexible on that (not that it makes anyone happy), but average users will not be consuming Reddit on a 3rd party app in a year, period.

I think this is a overly pessimistic take.

It would be nice to see a longer term study. And no people shouldn't be buying this in IndiaMart but critical analysis of studies isn't just about being as pessimistic as possible.

It's overly pessimistic as it's not constructive. Instead of asking for longer term studies you declare the effect probably won't last.

There are loads of criticisms one could make of the study and wider hypothesis. But as with all criticism it should be constructive where reasonable.

To add to this, shamelessly self-promoting, Notebooker (https://github.com/man-group/notebooker) is a neat way of scheduling your Jupyter notebooks as parametrisable reports whose results are presented in a little web GUI (either as static HTML, PDF, or as reveal.js slideshow renders)
Kronos can't really do anything else since it is a consortium where hardware vendors take part in, who can block or outright ignore anything they don't like. It's Microsoft who can impose APIs and "standards" thanks to their market dominance.

Many extensions eventually become parts of a core profile. Some of then are clarifications or improvements to existing extensions. Many are APIs for proprietary features that never become part of any core profiles.
I recently started using a free postgresql database service provider and within a few months they folded and got acquired/hired by some bigger company and sunset the entire product with a short notice (it was on the front page of HN). Meanwhile, elephantsql continues to serve me, even though the free tier only allows tiny 20MB databases so I can play with postgresql easily. Not that I do it everyday or even every week but it is there when I need it.

I mean you should limit the free users to a point where you aren’t worried about the whole thing collapsing under the weight of free users.
I’m being spammed with ads, shorts, and videos from a single right-wing ultra-Catholic party. It’s quite annoying.
Yeah, seems like “megadrive” and “mega drive” are different indeed (and both get different results from “genesis” by the way). I've tried a bunch of unrelated words in place of “megadrive” and it doesn't suggest NGE to these too – only “neon megadrive evangelion” seems to get this treatment.

I've updated the submission title to “Megadrive” without space to account for this.

Very gloomy title though. And the content is very niched.

I believe a majority of internet users will still use large corporate social media, simply because it's easier. We as developers have to understand that most users are not like us, they only want an accessible and simple experience when staying in touch with people and sharing their lives.

But the power users, the ones who made up the majority of internet users back in the 90s and early 2000s, they will perhaps stay on those platforms and have one foot in the decentralized camp, or be fully in the decentralized camp. Hopefully with time the number of power users increases with decentralized media becoming more accessible and people becoming more educated on how to use it.

But there will without a doubt always be a majority of users in the more accessible and better marketed alternatives.

same here, totally mystified. One of my favorite subreddits went over to Discord and apart from the UI/UX being horrific, it doesn't seem to replicate much of the Reddit experience. It's just a giant chat session with a few subtopics it's a cesspool of animated emojis etc.
They can, and then people will go and buy some gpu card that is not whitelisted and they will blame Apple and give them bad press.

The "don't let people shoot themselves in the foot" mindset has worked great for them.
FYI for anyone who seems this, the website says:

Ads are a perfectly legit business model. We've had free television channels for a century based on the ad model. Ad-driven model is only hated by the top percent who are willing to pay a subscription. Facebook has 2 billion users who don't care about ads.

You seem to have the business model backwards. People who post there are contributing their time and knowledge. They're giving you something. There's no reason for them to pay you. That's why web 2.0 can't be replicated on blockchains and no one has ever created a successful mainstream blockchain-based web 2.0 product.

In an age where platforms pay you for your content, such as Substack, I can't see how charging someone $0.01/post to write in a Reddit-like platform will have any success.

Regarding speed and scale - 4 seconds is an eternity in the modern web. IPFS won't work because it's too slow and again, too expensive.
search for htable or hashtable in thousands of open source projects. only a minority has worse hashtables than this one (clisp, perl5 e.g.).

I think this can also be seen in what is reported on news channels and news programmes, which surely adapt to what they think people want to watch.

Even on BBC News (since link is to BBC) news are very surperficial and there are only a few programmes that try to look deeper at the big issues, and some topics are pretty much skipped altogether (finance and markets? Nah)

Interestingly, I thought that RT News (before it was banned...) was still more real, interesting news even though you had to stay on your toes re. propaganda.
I can't imagine the decentralized camp ever growing significantly.

On r/RedditAlternatives people are discussing what sites to migrate to. The federated kbin and lemmy are getting significantly less attention than the centralized squabbles. [1]

Many redditors complain that sites being federated is actually a downside, as they don't understand it and even if they do they rather not explain it to their friends.

> caps lock should be eliminated everywhere

Caps Lock can be a useful feature. e.g. developers may want to type CONSTANTS_LIKE_THIS; and it's useful to be able to have a "shifted mode" which avoids the need for either alternating shift keys, or holding shift key with a pinky finger.

I saw a feature "Caps Word", which automatically returns to the unshifted state as soon as a non-letter key (like space) was pressed. That seems a good idea.

That said, yeah, Caps Lock isn't so useful that it's worth putting where it is on typical keyboards.
AI will replace mods, like they do on most social media already (Twitter, FB, etc.)

Reddit is still relying on volunteers human mods but I don't see Reddit needed them for long.

Quite the contrary, I think Apple is the one company that didn't ignore this. But if it's going to be enough or not, who knows?!

Ironically enough, tumblr is going trough some sort of "indie/lo-fi" renaissance now that Automattic bought them. I don't think they even want to go back to being an alternative to FB/Instagram/Twitter.
It really fascinates me that people think Reddit is hostile to their users, because when you really look at it, aren't reddit's users incredibly hostile to reddit management? Like really if you look at it from the outside you have this community that does this incredibly nasty things and then every time management steps in to try and correct it the community goes into uproar. I'm not saying the management have handled it well, but the userbase is a complete dumpster fire.
It’s not all like that. Just the things that can’t suitably be explained as events. The native assault on the brigade comes to mind. How could you adequately describe such an event with words. It’s a horror poem in the way he writes it and if you haven’t read it, it is as chilling as it sounds.

respectively 4,79€ and 7,19€ TTC/VAT incl.

It's insane. So with 2 mails boxes, that were not free but included in the price/package of the domain. I will have to pay 2121.2*3.99=115€/year for a basic e-mail service that was included until now. It feels like a breach of contract.

I suspect that many people will publish substandard generated data. This will affect the integrity of training data in the long term, unless steps are taken.
“Interaction nets” might be what you are looking for. I believe there were a couple of hackernews threads about it.

"With any luck twitter/reddit/facebook/et al. will disappear in favour of their "corresponding wikipedias" --- which is the model, I think, all the "platform creators" thought they were participating in."

This is a fantasy. All the money (and thus features and users) has been flowing in to ever more consolidated, corporate-controlled platforms for decades.

There's no serious alternative, as all the decentralized platforms lack the network effects of the big players.

If anything, the future is going to be ever more centralized and consolidated.

The old, wild and free internet is gone for good.
Since this is a from-scratch implementation, there's not much support from the language side to begin with. Except for some build system details that may have been made less annoying, I don't think much has changed.

This is why I’ve always been skeptical of runaway superintelligence. Where does a brain in a vat get the map to go where there are no roads? Where does it get its training data? It is not embodied so it can’t go out there and get information and experience to propel its learning.

Giving an AI the ability to self modify would just be a roundabout way of training it on itself. Repeatedly compress a JPEG and you don’t get the “enhance” effect from Hollywood. You get degraded quality and compression artifacts.
Could this potentially help schizophrenia, emotional regulation, impulsivity, reward processing, ADHD etc because of an improvement in functional connectivity?
> They do get to see how the sausage is made

Not sure what sausage they see being made. They're trained to evaluate patients, carry out emergency procedures, take measurements and administer medicine as instructed by a doctor. It's a hell of a job, hard, stressful, thankless and underpaid. But that's irrelevant.

> Are you sure that the reality around patient drug experiences is so positive?

Well yes, by definition. Generally, and simply put, a drug can't enter the market unless it's better than the current standard treatment.

Hundred years ago a simple infection could kill you, or result in a limb being amputated sans anesthesia. The difference between then and now is the work of research and pharma companies.
KiCad is sorely lacking facilities for analyzing trace impedance and power plane capacity - very simple features and all of the building parts (mainly the board stackup information) are already there.

I've wanted to add this stuff (and hopefully push upstream), but haven't been able to find the time.

These are basically table stakes in every commercial offering.

You can't really know that though.

Without appropriate memory barriers, you can end up with an inconsistent view of the memory due to out-of-order execution and other weird stuff the CPU does behind the scenes.

There's significant footguns around low level concurrency primitives.
Some forums just got better, IMHO, just from maybe having richer contributions and distilled but still healthy communities with good moderation. Fewer drive-bys, less low quality content. I mean, I consider HN to be more forum than social media and a similar effect can be seen here - kind of a refuge due to relative obscurity and good moderation. That exists in other interest domains as well, with perhaps even more value from smaller and more focused participants.
Surely that's boingboing. I always thought their tagline should be "last month's news, today!"

Yeah, it's just the ROM file. Actually releasing a physical cartridge as some bonus to a meal would have been cool. I assume the cartridge costs are still too high for that.
I wish it included a big section on GPU programming.

only if it has an effect on you, I tried it many times and the only effect it seems to have on me is the bitter taste and heart palpitations if I drink too much of it.

Florida man insists he didn't violate the law
I get the sense that McCarthy didn’t just find banality in evil but also in beauty and good. Not that they were bad things (any more than “banal evil” is a good thing) but more that they just _are_. His storytelling always felt to me like an illustration of “how can you know what’s bad or good in the grand scheme?”
We don't need to start every post with "in my opinion". It's always implied that we're speaking for ourselves on HN.

I can go into every one of your comments on HN and write "speak for yourself". But that's just pointless, and so is your post.
He certainly didn't fool all the people. And those he did fool were largely fooled by sophistry, not magic.

At least in the current system I think the parens are optional if it doesn't have arguments so if you really need to leave them off when writing the type you probably can. But like someone said it's erlang convention going back decades.

Anyway coming from ocaml I don't aesthetically like this but coming from ocaml I have no grounds to talk shit about any language's aesthetic choices. The parens make sense to me when I think of them as type constructors, rather than concrete expressions of the type itself.
The post also mentions unspecified behavior (mixing atomic and non-atomic memory accesses) where everybody has to cross their fingers and hope that the hardware designers had the same idea about how it should work. Which is almost fine with enough test coverage, but a shader translation layer adds uncomfortable complexity on top of it.
> I worked in pharma for a few years on clinical trial systems

Same here. What did you see that didn't make you lose trust?

What I saw if anything was the rigorous work required to get a drug on the market. FDA inspections were feared because if you've made mistakes in your trial everything risks going to the trash.

> to only take anything they produce if it’s an extreme emergency

How high would you toddler's fever or painful your tooth ache have to be for it to be an extreme emergency, before you administer some paracetamol? What about anxiety? What about illnesses your ageing parents may have? There's a very large gap between comfort and near-death.
Certainly and some people also get serotonin syndrome if they mix this with other antidepressant medications. Read up before taking but to me this just highlights the impacts it can have.

If it were patentable it would have had far more research I'm sure.
No One Knows What Social Media Is Doing to Teens
I'm a notes app addict. I even tried building my own, twice, and I've used all the free ones.

I like Obsidian in theory for journalling, but I find it makes me not want to journal because of how slow it is.

Other than that, I'm 100% in on Google Keep. It's free, and more importantly, it works well on my watch and with Google Assistant.

"Hey Google, add shampoo to my shopping list"

Swipe right on my watch, scroll through a few tiles, there it is!

And you can add more than one note that way. I have my to-do list, shopping list, and ideas Backlog (A note i use as an unstructured long term possible to-do list plus random ideas list).

It would be a great way to use my phone less too, I just need to find more things I actually want to be present for rather than use my phone....

What I really want now is a home screen widget with a simple box where I can type stuff, and it adds it to today's note, with a timestamp and good hashtag autocomplete, and then shows me a calendar view like Obsidian, that would replace 100% of what I currently use Obsidian for.
So people like John and George are “The Beatles” but people like Pete Best are not, because of some arbitrary attachment you have to them personally.
