True, but in that case, apropos of the homeowner's frustration, he likely didn't want to shut down BoA's branch entirely, just force them into action.

I appreciate everything you and the mods do here. Enough so that I feel my past behavior on HN has been less than ideal from time to time and I am incentivized to improve it because I respect what you're trying to do here.

However, the staff at HN are doing themselves a disservice and legitimizing criticism with this sort of action. If you feel this content is grand and speculative then downvote it or flag it like anyone else. If you feel it's actively damaging or strongly against the ethos of HN then delete it or sticky a comment at the top of the discussion to give your position and encourage people to flag/downvote.

The author makes a fair observation and does speculate as part of their writing, but speculation happens all the time on HN.

Reddit can be a moat for OpenAI even if the intention wasn't deliberately made.

> Reddit offering a API only to not maintain it

If they were to offer an API that's just HTML of the website (old.reddit.com specifically, not the new one) but without the cruft that makes for 90% of the markup of a human-facing page, and which exists only to hang styles and scripts off... why wouldn't they maintain it? It's literally the same as what the browser gets, but without the bullshit.

> or uphold any sort of SLA uptime

Do they uphold any sort of SLA uptime for the webpage itself?

The simplest API would be just the meat of the website, so it couldn't possibly be less reliable than the site itself.

> not worry about releasing breaking changes every week?

Reddit is a stable site. Like most social media platforms, they don't release breaking changes often (they do screw with DOM element ids and CSS classes all the time, but that is to make life harder for ad blockers, which is another topic). Sure, some things may move around, be added or removed - but this is webshit we're talking about. You can't truly rely on any API to have a stable, or well-defined structure[0] - so people are already used to treating schemas as open-ended[1] and keeping up with their changes.

> Having a public facing API is not trivial or cost free.

Sure. But I'm trying to establish a lower bound here, and it's clear that this is much lower costs and effort than maintaining the human-facing website itself. And I mean, remember the whole "semantic HTML" and "microformats" trends of yore? Or how HTML5 came to be, with all those tags like <em> and <section> and <article>? The whole point of that was to make HTML work as both rendering markup and machine-readable API.

Consider also that the alternative isn't no public API - it's scraping. So if your public API is somehow more expensive to serve or maintain than either the website itself, or a decluttered version of it, then you're doing something wrong.

It's like doping in sports, the cheaters get all the money and glory - until they get tested. The solution is more tests. If the study can't be replicated then there is a problem. There should be more tests in science, without tests it's not science.
> Sure, you can do that, if you're willing to deal with all the extra complications involved with having multiple threads and coordinating between them. For some applications that's necessary, but in many cases none of the events, either GUI or network I/O, require CPU intensive responses, so you don't need separate threads for performance, and having them all in one event loop makes the code a lot simpler.

This is weird. Having the worker thread separate from the UI thread is a good separation of concerns regardless of whether you need the thread for performance or not. I don't remember if wxWidgets 2 even had message passing between threads, though.

I'd invite you to try wxWidgets 3, it seems to have changed a lot (for the better).
I can never understand if someone actually believes this or is just actively gaslighting.

Anyone trying to discuss even the possibility of a lab leak was called xenophobic, a conspiracy theorist, banned from socials…

Acceleration (universal or subject-specific grade skipping) can help with this. It challenges the gifted student appropriately while still allowing them to socialize with regular people.

Naively it might seem that this could lead to bullying, but from what I read it tends to work really well. The older students aren't threatened by the prodigy.
It doesn't even have to be API... FB/instagram quite often prohibit you from viewing something if you don't have account... :/
What does NB mean in this context?

So you mean, they should be allowed to keep their stuff (e.g. lots of stolen bikes) strung out in the middle of a park during a day, and they shouldn't have to move into shelters because they can't deal with their drug habits?

If this were Switzerland (or specifically, Lausanne where I used to live), the Swiss police would really not take any of that crud. They would apply lots of tough love, swiss style, before it got to that point.

>Neighbors of the library collaborated with the city to urge the library to turn off its Wi-Fi at night in hopes the Castro neighborhood’s unhoused population would move on.

Theoretically, wifi access could help people move on by giving them the network access even old tech could use to look for jobs, living situations, long-lost relatives, access e-counseling and telehealth visits, etc.

It's not the only thing the haves have taken from the have-nots to get them to move on. Bottle and can deposits used to be a much bigger deal in the US. It served its purpose of retrieving bottling materials for reuse to save costs and removing them from the landscape. But some noticed it gave the homeless a little spending cash too. The people in my otherwise fairly liberal city voted in the 90s to remove the local deposits from cans and bottles in order to force the homeless to move on.

Fast forward to 2023. The homeless did not move on. They stayed and are begging more intensely. Many "prominent" homeless (a guy I know just as the Cowboy for his begging flair, for instance) are still here 30 years later.
I think it is time for some of those apps to invest into caching. Also APIs are not only about third-party applications. I can think of a dozen ideas for products build around the Reddit API without going over this limit.
Nice to have an endpoint which takes care of this. I've been doing this manually, it's a fairly simple process:

* Add "Output your response in json format, with the fields 'x', which indicates 'x_explanation', 'z', which indicates 'z_explanation' (...)" etc. GPT-4 does this fairly reliably.

* Validate the response, repeat if malformed.

* Bam, you've got a json.

I wonder if they've implemented this endpoint with validation and carefully crafted prompts on the base model, or if this is specifically fine-tuned.
It's definitely regional. Here in Toronto, checking for few addresses around me I see a mix of

-Apple Maps native reviews

-Yelp

-OpenTable

And I'm definitely seeing a lot less Yelp than I used to. At least in Toronto, yelp is pretty much dead anyway. People mostly use Google Maps.
I've been through registrar hell. I registered a ccTLD and wanted to transfer since the price was way lower elsewhere. Their CMS was complete garbage and the auto-generated transfer token/code was evidently bogus, as every registrar I attempted to transfer to said it wasn't right. Of course, the support from the registrar I was attempting to leave was nonexistent, always blaming the other guys. Yeah right, screw you TLD Registrar Solutions - avoid any of their brands at all costs. There's almost nothing you can do. My solution was to wait for domain expiry and re-register. Would recommend bigger names.
>Put those together and it's plausible that Reddit wants to go from a discussion site with cats to a cats feed site with meaningless discussion, and a bunch of ads mixed in.

That would align with the changes Reddit seemed to have made to their algorithm. They changed something last year that affected what posts were promoted to the top of sub.

In the r/movies sub, text posts were frequently getting to the top, which is fine is these were quality posts. Spoiler: they weren't. They'd be dumb questions like "DAE think X movie is underrated" where X movie is highly rated by everyone or a cult classic, or meaningless observations like "Y movie is now 30 years old!!" as if someone just discovered how time works. In the past, most top posts were links to articles, trailers, posters, etc. Discussion naturally happened in those posts. These low effort posts did spur a lot of discussion, but none of it was new or meaningful.

I think the mods are now filtering out these type of posts, because the sub is more or less back to how it used to be.
I find this clearly bogus.
That’s not true, a leak could occur without them realising. Getting cold and flu symptoms in winter wouldn’t raise too many suspicions.

The reality was courts in NY generally would never enforce a non-compete for a Subway like case. Courts do weigh the "equivalent exchange" and what the non-compete is "protecting". They were more problematic in any other higher paying field.

The first proposed bill bans all non-competes while the second proposed bill basically codifies non-competes are legal only if there's "good-faith" aka equivalent exchange. Which usually means payoff or enormous salary.
LLMs perform lossy compression on knowledge, so they're not a good replacement for indexing and search. If anything, you want to have the latter, and expose it to LLM as a tool it can use, regardless of whether the LLM was trained/fine-tuned on that same content or not.

I think that hardcode kernel devs already know the reasons, and there is no point in raising it again. For you it might seem like a random requirement, but it's because of lack of familiarity.
Indeed. But requiring data, source code, and weights on papers submitted for peer review would solve a lot of this. As well as making data sets and data collection processes reproducible and open such that anyone can verify it end to end. LLMs can be open and set up such that they curate this for people too. You know how AWS has a status page for availability? We could have status pages for LLM data training set integrity.

It will be way more manageable and truthful this way than in the existing way where some European bureaucracy (disclaimer: I am European) sits in front of my and your access to GPT-4 or an LLM running on our boxes directly.

It's not so much level of education but lack of real world experience. PhDs in industry or outside of the Academy are very different.
multiple threads discussing different topics, or different aspects of a topic. Instead of "HUB 4090 review" where people are discussing everything about the 4090 in a single giant comment tree, you create a thread asking about the 4090's efficiency and people can discuss that one aspect.

the reason we do the "one big omnithread" for everything nowadays is because we have moved to a fundamentally reactive model, where youtube opinion leaders or news articles say a thing and people react to it, most people are the metaphorical AIs who don't have any independent thoughts until prompted by an external stimulus.

Actually in practice any internally-generated questions tend to be smashed down on reddit. Self-posts end up downvoted heavily. Some of that is that they're often low-quality content asking dumb shit that should have been a comment on some other related post rather than a full thread, so it's the "stupid newbie" downvote. But they also don't have anything to consume, and again, the 90-9-1 model applies. 90% of your users are readers, 10% are commenters. And actually beyond being a reader, they usually are not reading the comments either, they're reading the articles. While in fact the commenters often are the exact opposite, they don't read the article/watch the video because they're there to talk.

But the fact that 90% are not there to talk, and actually they don't even care about the comments at all - that's why Reddit is pivoting. Forums discussion is a smaller niche than content drips.

--

when you do a single megathread and content is moving super fast within a single thread (eg - politics debate-night threads), you have to resign yourself to not seeing every single comment in a thread, because it's literally going faster than you can read. And that's also true of reddit - you're not seeing every comments, you're seeing the top 50 comments. And if you sort by "new" it's a similarly torrential feed, and you stand no real chance of reading everything let alone replying to everything - but the "top" and "hot" and "best" sorts do a good job of surfacing the content that readers want to see, and it feels stable, so it cures that FOMO.

Technically there's no reason that's not a feature you couldn't build into a forum though. Surface me a view of a thread that's only comments above 10 karma, or with more than a certain number of replies, and show me a "top threads" view of a given forum. And reply notifications are not a novel feature.

but anyway, your question gets at another tangential point, which is that reddit and reddit-style models have become so dominant over the last 15 years that people literally don't know the ways to interact efficiently on web-1.0 forums anymore. People know how to work reddit, they know how to work twitter, they know how to work discord... does the average user know how to work phpBB anymore? probably not really!
I would never rely on an LLM as a source of such information, just as I wouldn't trust the general knowledge of a human being used as a database. Does your workflow include a step for information search? With the new json features, it should be easy to instruct it to perform a search or directly feed it the right pages to parse.
"John Lorimer Campbell is an English YouTuber and retired nurse educator known for his videos about the COVID-19 pandemic. Initially, the videos received praise, but they later veered into misinformation.

Why is that true? I would think you could have an undetected leak.
I'll flip this around and ask (in earnest - not trying to be snarky), if things like streamlit, NiceGui, gradio, etc exist where you can build a web-accessible gui with only python... why would I ever use Qt?
You see... a grain of truth. Yes, in the very beginning is was allowed, but come May and June, it was verboten.
TikTok and Instagram both limit comments to a single layer of "answering".

I guess that's a "good" alternative if your goal is to prevent the evolution of deep discussion and instead get people to move on and scroll over more ads.
I knew this would happen, so much so I'm pretty sure I even called it ahead of time. This happens so frequently that there ought to be a word for it.

Yes, some conservative personalities early on had pushed some dumb conspiracies about COVID-19 being a bioweapon. No, that was not the crux of the argument that the many scientists, journalists and internet commenters had when they argued in favor of the lab leak hypothesis. Now I personally was never very attached to the theory, but I absolutely believed that we should have researched whether or not COVID-19 was indeed leaked from a lab. An actual argument against my position was that we shouldn't as it would only further fuel racism, xenophobia and geopolitical tensions even if it were true. There was also a lot of backlash against researchers who wanted investigation into the lab leak theory, probably for similar reasons.

There's always amnesia about things like this, but I'm pretty sure COVID-19 has become a case study on how not to handle a pandemic. A lot of what happened gave people a legitimate reason to distrust authority, and if we pretend that never happened things will simply continue to get worse as it repeats indefinitely.

Again, I do agree that it was annoying seeing it become a political culture war issue about a conspiracy vs "trusting the science", but that is certainly not what I believe the majority of the lab leak hypothesis was angling for.

Wikipedia even helpfully separates the two ideas into separate articles.

Close proximity is a bit of a stretch. This shows people catching colds in winter. The rest is speculation
I remember learning a lot of the reasoning behind why I thought it was most likely a lab leak from a video I got as a top recommendation on youtube from a rather large channel that had near or over a million views at the time, so anecdotally I think perhaps a lot of the people who got banned for their discussion on the topic were either grouped up with people positing more extreme possibilities, or just an example of over reach. Either way, I personally don't remember people presenting the possibility of a lab leak being shredded (at least on youtube, I can't speak for the other platforms as I use them very infrequently).
> Q: Why do attackers need to obtain video footage filled with the LED of the target device?

> A: Cryptanalysis requires a high sampling rate.

> By filling the frame with the LED, attackers exploit the rolling shutter to increase the number of measurements of the color/intensity of the LED by three orders of magnitude from the FPS rate (60 measurements per second) to the rolling shutter's speed (60K measurements per second in iPhone 13 Pro Max). A sampling rate of 60k can provide the needed sampling rate to attack functional IoT devices (smartphones, smartcards, TV streamers, etc.).

Using a single frame captured with rolling shutter as a 1-bit high-framerate video. Very cool technique!
> ...NPM since those can differ from source code on Github.

True. How about people act their threat model? Instead of removing a feature for many users, just do whatever you need to do to be sure you're safe yourself?

In what other major situation is the solution to nuke a feature due to security concerns?

The first bill outlaws all non-competes and garden leave would fall under it. The most they could do is offer it as a form of severance where you get to sit on your butt for 6 months conditionally.

The second bill would allow for garden leave aka compensated non-competes. It just codifies the "don't try any non-compensated/good faith aspect".

Ask HN: How do you migrate training data?
Seems like a simple problem:

We are collecting feedback from users on X. X is generated by a machine learning model. X follows a clear schema and is shown to the users after some transformations.

When we update the transformations or the schema, we plan to migrate the old feedback data to make use of it.

But there can be both semantic and visual drifts as a result of the changes.

What are the best practices here? Do you migrate training data? How do you account for the biases resulting from the migration?
So a call for sponsors to somehow join in on the action?
How might that happen?
It's pretty incredible to see the US Government shift around these conflicting narratives, moving toward (apparently 3 letter agency by agency) this lab leak origin. Especially considering the vilification of anyone (including the president at the time) for saying things that were in this vein. I think they owe us a complete release of the data they have and an actual assessment, from the government, explained by the head of the government... millions of people were directly effected by this. I think we're owed the truth. This method, where there are leaks or unsourced articles, but the 3 letter agencies disagree with the probable origin, it's impossible for a regular person to decipher. Maybe that is the point, but it's a really shit situation.
