- suddenly after the ChatGPT success, they realized that they have valuable data

- next step is to stop third-party apps that generated these data

- then they let the moderators show their power

I’m not sure if people care about a CEO being exposed as a liar nowadays, but maybe some former Yahoo managers have another idea on how to destroy more value.
This is absolutely true for any subreddit that shows up on the front page but many subreddits with smaller user bases or draconian moderation policies (like /r/askhistorians) can have excellent quality.
> I will most likely deploy and pay for hosting a forum for the users and then nuke the subreddit.

This is a direction I would like to see things going. It could just be that I mostly frequent tech-oriented communities, but with "self-hosting" as a hobby growing the way it has and servers being much cheaper than they used to be, I think (hope?) a lot of communities will retreat from these places to ones where they have more control.
How do sites bypassing paywall work?

You probably shouldn't walk outside with our headset on, but indoors, absolutely. Turn on passthrough and off you go.

> Boggles my mind that people do that.

Why? I only restart my (linux) laptop every 3-4 months when I update software.

I can't think of any downside that I've experienced from this practice. I do a lot of work with data loaded in a REPL, so it's certainly saved me time having everything restored to as I left it.
Giving 30 days notice for people using the API to adjust their entire revenue model. 4 months after saying "hey don't worry we're not going to charge for the API this year".

This isn't just about an API becoming paid. It's clear they want to phase out 3rd party apps without saying it out loud.
Yes, having a teacher and method matters. As a cautionary tale, I tried to teach myself touch-typing years ago without either, and it was a disaster. I invented my own 'hover' method using the wrong fingers for the keys, practiced extensively, and as a result ended up having to unlearn bad muscle memory which is much harder than learning the right muscle memory from the beginning. This is apparently also a common problem for people who try to teach themselves the violin.

Unfortunately even finding a teacher doesn't necessarily solve the problem, as a fair amount of teachers end up passing on bad habits they themselves learned and adopted. However, if a teacher can clearly explain the rationale for taking a certain approach if a student asks about it (without getting upset about having their authority/method questioned), that's a good sign.
Congrats on launching, that very interesting!

I recently started doing a project in this area too, it's tempting but there are a lot of push back from developers to change their habits (and markdown).

Anecdotally I also tried to integrate Monaco with TipTap, you did it way better than me, well played!
And you actually destroyed the community on Reddit in the process?

I’ve played with formspree before. It’s pretty straightforward and you can get pretty far with the free plan.
Here's hoping Sonos can find a way to regroup, support their remaining staff, and keep cranking out those awesome wireless speakers we all love.
"Headless CMS" doesn't mean it has no management GUI. It means that the output is an API instead of actual HTML pages. The "head" is HTML pages, like what you get with WordPress. "Headless" says nothing about how the CMS is managed, just what it outputs.
> I used to think that professional investors actually were a little smarter than the rest.

It's been my experience that you can't tell who's smarter than who by what they do for a living. On the whole, no group is actually smarter than any other group.

> It's pretty sad that "look like you know what you are doing and convince gullible people" is probably the best future career advice I can give to my school-age daughter.

I don't agree with that takeaway. I think the takeaway is that confidence is the primary thing that people take as a proxy for competence. It's not really about gullibility as much as people engaging in a heuristic. So learn to fake confidence, but have the chops to back it up.
I usually do take them out fairly quickly after I hear the end alarm. I also prefer yolks which are still a tiny bit runny, so I agree that a short cooking time and removing them quickly works best!

But it's not the end of the world if you don't as it cools down quite quickly when it vents (if set to quick-release). They might be slightly overdone, but certainly not as bad as forgetting them and leaving them boiling in a pot for 15+ minutes. Which I've done more times than I care to admit.
Show HN: Tensorguard – Pretty runtime typechecking for PyTorch/NumPy tensors
Who is angry about that (rightfully or otherwise)? I hear a lot of complaints about various aspects of the mortgage industry, and the fact that the fed partially subsidizes some mortgages some of the time is not one that I hear a lot.
I really feel for George and team. It seems like they're quite a ways from a commercial product, far enough so that market leaders are likely to be established by the time they'd be ready to ship.

Critique #1 is about unknown implementation details, and we'll know that soon enough. In the meantime, an article on IEEE Spectrum says, "…journalists who’ve tried the device say it’s competitive with other AR/VR headsets, which offer a FOV between 100 and 120 degrees. That should place the headset’s pixels per degree around 50 to 70 PPD."¹

Critique #2 talks about the massive ecosystem advantage of the Apple Vision Pro, but I think the thesis — that HMDs will not replace PCs/laptops — is the wrong way to think about their value.

> How is the LMAX disrupter relevant for programs with 1 core?

It is not relevant outside the problem area of needing to communicate between threads. The #1 case I use it for is MPSC where I have something like an AspNetCore/TCP frontend and a custom database / event processor / rules engine that it needs to talk to.
That's kind of the issue at heart. Most product management includes at least some aspects of project management.

The core problem I've seen is when the product manager sees the project management aspects of their role as their primary or only job. This is unfortunately incredibly common.
Well, funnily enough this does read in contrast to the definitions used in Wikipedia, which are the ones I am also familiar with (I also do teach a class called "Parallel Programming" to graduates).

I do think the differentation make sense from a perspective of problem classes, as also evident from the comments here. Running independent problems in parallel to better utilize hardware ressources is very different from running problems in parallel in timesteps that have strong dependencies in regards to progress of the overall computation. And that's not a problem of the scheduler, but a much more general concept.

It doesn't sound to me like the author has the whole web service parallelism/concurrency in mind that is very apparent in the comments here.
You should rename the license if you change the language.

Enforceability is a question for lawyers to answer.
Tremendous. Tech salaries and exuberant valuations are back on the menu y'all.
Yes I found this with any use of a VR headset. I'm surprised not more is made of it - the neck is a very delicate structure, and surely any serious health and safety implications would cause all sorts of legal bother if nothing else.
Oh, definitely, but keep in mind that a lot of huge companies came out of the dotcom bubble. There was a lot of nonsense, but quite a few well-planned products as well, some of which even succeeded.

I think AI's going to be the same way, at least at first. Long-term there's of course a possibility of takeoff, slow or fast; I don't think we've excluded that yet.

Teddit, a Reddit UI Resistant to API Changes
As tension over 3rd party apps boils over, I feel like the community is ignoring a promising 3rd way: an app that just bypasses the official API.

Teddit and libreddit are two such existing efforts.
I still don't see the argument. Let's say an argument is a series of premises followed by a conclusion. Maybe you can render it for me.

How does it follow from a class of drugs addressing a class of ailments that there's some industrial process messing with some process in the body? Does that follow from every class of drugs that addresses any class of ailments?

If we find out that aspirin is even more versatile than we thought and helps with an increasing amount of ailments, how does it follow that there's some related industrial process behind those ailments? Why not just the more parsimonious inference that... aspirin is more useful than we thought?

I have similar fond memories of Taco Bell. The 59, 79, 99 cent menu sustained me as a teenager.

As it turns out I am forming a BV and working on moving to Utrecht in the next few months. Ireland was good to me as well, but has not been a great place to raise kids.
I hope it isn't the end. Yes there's some garbage on there, but there's also a lot of good content in many thousands of subs. And a sub for virtually any human interest or foible you can think of. The barrier to entry is very low and the international reach very high.
Vite uses esbuild, so it doesn't make much sense to put it in a different generation of tooling.
I have a couple of smaller personal projects that need transactional emails (mostly just notifications of things that have happened or weekly summaries, etc). Currently using Postmark but now they're going away from credits to monthly subscriptions. I don't send nearly enough emails to justify doing the monthly subscription, but I send more than the free tier allows (this is the case for most services). I'd probably be at the cusp of your free tier but I also have 3 domains. Currently I'm sending approximately 2k emails per month, if you had a hobby plan around $5/mo with unlimited domains and around 5k emails per month - I would sign up. Otherwise I'll probably just load up on Postmark credits and then eventually switch off to something else entirely down the road.

It's a good day when I get to use STM.

While the primary benefit is in thinking "these things should happen together or not at all" rather than thinking about locks, there's another feature I always forget about, which is retrying.

Retrying let's you 'nope' out of a transaction, and try again as soon as something changes without busy-waiting.
I still think there’s more going on than API pricing. I realized I have a lot of other resentments about Reddit I think other people may have their own and it’s all coming out now.
1800+.

Seems like they overhired during the pandemic like many other companies.

I'm also a bit puzzled by that number, I've got to admit.

They seem to do their manufacturing in China and Malaysia.

Setting aside that griefers would pull it off your head and destroy it, why not? If you're using it for directions, it seems safer to keep your eyes on the environment than it does to split your attention.
There's a message greeting you when you visit a subreddit that's gone dark[1]. They could have an invite there, if that's their plan.

This is a valid approach, but not because of its "speed".

When you start a project, you have a great many things you don't know and need to learn. This is the case in 99% of projects out there. By definition, you cannot at the start of it optimize for things you don't know anything about, because... how, exactly?

If you work in a particular stack a lot, prepare a starter project template. Put some time into it, set it up so that it is optimized for letting you learn the things you don't know and helping you discover and make architectural decisions as they become necessary to make. And then just go wild.

This is the bottom-up programming approach advocated by pg in his book, IIRC. Have a setup where you can iterate quickly in the small, and make it easy to abstract and refactor as you go. You don't need a Lisp for that, just some tools with proper configs. It's also what R&D guys tend to do naturally with their Jupyter Notebooks - the difference, other than the kinds of problems faced, is that devs don't have the luxury of leaving the code in a form of REPL session transcript.
If I am not mistaken, their CTO and CSO had a significant impact on this year’s open-source LLM efforts, as they are some of the LLaMA authors.
The APIs are mostly cross-platform now, and the SoCs are the same, so the main reason you wouldn't want to just copy a Mac app to the iPad is the touch input. If eye tracking is as good as they say, that's a lot closer to a mouse than touch controls.

Agreed - if you’re an expert in something slightly off the main HN topics (ie adtech, finance, real estate, etc) then hn discussions are the same intelligence level as Reddit but without the memes.
I had a developer that I inherited from a previous manager some years ago. Made tons of excuses about his machine, the complexity of the problem, etc. I offered to check his machine out and he refused because it had "private stuff" on it. He had the same machine as the rest of the team, so since he hadn't made a commit in two weeks on a relatively simple problem, refused help from anyone, etc., we ultimately let him go.

When we looked at his PC to see if there was anything useful from the project, his browser had around a thousand tabs open. Probably 80% of them were duplicates of other tabs, linking to the same couple stack overflow and C# sites for really basic stuff. The other 20% were... definitely "private stuff".
But does that scale? It's one thing building an online community serving 100-5,000 users. It's quite a different thing to build an online community serving 100,000-10,000,000 users.
They can say that they do, just like Theranos said they can tell if you have cancer from one drop of blood. It's all smoke and mirrors and depends on actual people to do the verification not some imaginary AI. At least that was my experience from the 2 hours I spent trying to verify myself with them.
So, I've found `doas` to be a great firewall against not-so-competent sysadmins, in addition to all the other safety guarantees it brings.

-Ehm, I try to `sudo X` and it says command not found

-Yup, that's by design. Try `doas X`

-Well, I tried sudo again and it just doesn't work. What is the root password? I need this, like, an hour ago. Do the needfull!!1!

-Sure, have your manager call me...
Here they mention that each bisect ran a large number of times to try and catch the rare failure. Reminds me of a previous experience:

We had a large integration test suite. It made calls to an external service, and took ~45 minutes to fully run. Since it needed an exclusive lock on an external account, it could only run a few tests at a time. We started getting random failures, so we were in a tough spot: bisecting didn't work because the failure wasn't consistent, and you couldn't run a single version of a test enough times to verify that a given version definitely did or didn't have the failure in any practical way. I ended up triggering a spread of runs over night, and then used Bayesian statistics to hone in on where the failure was introduced. I felt mighty proud about figuring that out.

Unfortunately, it turns out the tests were more likely to pass at night when the systems were under less strain, so my prior for the failure rate was off and all the math afterwards pointed to the wrong range of commits.

Ultimately, the breakage got worse and I just read through a large number of changes trying to find a likely culprit. After finally finding the change, I went to fix it only to see that the breakage had been fixed by a different team a hour or so before. It turned out to be one of our dependencies turning on a feature by slowly increasing the probability it was used. So when the feature was on it broke our tests.
Async exports are the obvious answer. You might not think that they are useful, but they are a giant difference.
In the author's defense, he specifically points out that he's not debating Perot's platform or accolades.

It's about the fixation on "gets things done" without seeming to care about what it is that gets done.
With the direction they're taking all of the "Continuity" stuff, I suspect the line won't really matter in the future.

You'll work near to your laptop. Programs will run directly on the laptop, but the windows (not the entire desktop) will stream to the headset. Vision Pro will manage "the space" and your laptop/desktop will run the heavy lifting.
>But AI developers/companies seem to almost universally believe they have fair-use rights to train their models on any data they can get their hands on

Google and many other companies for almost 2 decades have spent their time scraping petabytes of data from the web. A lot of that with no expectation of payment. Some companies became billionaires off of that ability to freely access mass bulks of data.

Data scraping has always been a grey area, but I find it strange how it's suddenly taken a turn for some people whenever modern AI comes up. We can't really be drawing lines based on what we feel is good/evil, because we will never agree as a whole on what is good/evil.
Not a great example: if Apple’s code leaked, theoretically they wouldn’t include it in the training as it’s not supposed to be seen by the public. If it’s public you can be inspired by it (so their logic goes).
These guys are out here asking for VC money and a $2700 pre-order price, critiquing Apple for not publishing PPD yet... they don't publish expected battery life or weight, probably 2 of the most important specs for a "use for work" wireless VR rig....???

If I was advising these founders, I'd be advising them to do some deep soul searching right now. I can't see this going well for them at all, building a niche VR system for the 40% of developers who use linux and at the same time looking for VC funding (implying this will be a scaled business not a lifestyle business) seems like a recipe for disaster.
They are allegedly already starting. For example, r/AdviceAnimals is now back and they have deleted the blackout post. Plus the old lead moderator is gone. My understanding is that removing a lead moderator requires reddit admin action.

To be fair a 150k EUR salary (about where I am as it turns out) can be had in Europe but I don't think it's done "easily" for most people, at least compared to major US cities.

But I literally don't care. I already have a paid off house, and I just don't need anything. My big goal in life is to have a 3 bed flat or townhouse where my kids can run out the door and ride their bikes to their friends' houses (and school, and the cinema, etc.) and I'm not worried about them. I don't want a fancy car (or any car, actually), gadgets, etc.

I kinda wanted to FIRE at one point but that was only because I hated what I was doing. Finding work from climatebase.org or similar helps a lot with that. I would LOVE to work for humankind.city, for instance.

They still enable me to walk into any major city and have a nice office to work out of and I appreciate them for that. They changed the real estate game for startups and solopreneurs and should be commended for this!
> it won't actually lie to you or sprinkle in agendas.

That's _entirely_ dependant on the training dataset. Nothing about an LLM inherently prevents this.

At the dawn of the search engine age I was in Japan, and so I spent some time not being able to learn about shitake mushrooms, as was a common western spelling at the time (they are not shi-ta-ke mushrooms, they are in fact shi-i-ta-ke mushrooms, hence the spelling change, even though we still pronounce them wrong).

You couldn’t say shit on the internet. I mean what the fuck.
Actually, a question - for the tags idea, what kind of tags are you thinking? I can imagine a lot of different directions, do you have any specific examples in mind?

I used to shutdown regularly, then the power situation here in South Africa got so bad that we'd regularly have about 3 hours of power between interruptions.

Restoring all my work every couple of hours was becoming a pain, so I decided to re-enable hibernation support on Windows for the first time in 10 years... And surprisingly it works absolutely flawlessly.

Even on my 12yr old hardware, even if I'm running a few virtual machines. I honestly haven't seen any reason to reboot other than updates.
This is also my hope.

I think 'slim' sites like HN really show that you do not need a lot of hardware to run a forum.

When you own a forum you can preserve the knowledge indefinitely, even if the forum is taken offline.

Reddit can close down your subreddit just because, they own it.
