If it’s any google products including Gmail and YouTube, then I give up Reddit.

If it’s just google search, then I would keep Reddit.
This is definitely apples and oranges. The only product comparable to Reddit was Google+. I think people like to blame Google search for why people append Reddit to search strings, but that has a lot more to do with how Reddit has consumed so many independent forums that used to self-host.
I think the problem is that third apps get in the way of ads. Reddits users and content and "community" get in the way of ads too.
Just my opinion, but macroeconomics seems to be good for understanding what's happened, but not so great for predicting what's going to happen. Take the Federal Reserve's policy on interest rates. Lower rates are supposed to get the economy going and increase inflation.

But after the 2008 financial crisis, the Fed cut rates almost to zero, and the big inflation everyone expected just didn't happen. This makes me think about the idea of a "liquidity trap," where people would rather keep their money than invest it, even when interest rates are super low.

This wasn't just a U.S. thing either. The same happened in Japan in the 90s and in Europe after 2008. Even with rock-bottom rates, inflation stayed low.

I know it's not popular wisdom, but maybe we don't know what the fuck is actually going on. And we should just accept that.
I was thinking about this, too.

Or how, often we write our personas by defining what they are, when we ought to also define what they are not.

Ex: John is a c-level exec. He wants to feel like he has all the information at his fingertips, but he will not take the time to read any dialog, or apply any filter. They will just “export all”.
> As to quality, you say it's the best in the world, but the fact that the US now has a life expectancy lower than China, Cuba, and Albania determines that this is a lie.

The sad truth about those stats is that if you split them by social class, you get two distinct groups: disenfranchised people with some of the worst health outcomes in the world, and privileged people with some of the best.

The childibrth related mortality rate for black american women is 3x higher than for white women, for example.
All of google or just google search?

I've been mostly happy with DDG but still use google maps.

What's the reason to stay longer than 2 years? From what I see it's x10 times harder to get raise inside an organisation vs when changing it.

Probably, the reason is that companies adapted to employees getting rise and leaving soon. So a raise inside org is more a calibration for those highly underrated on entry ones than some real compensation for any experience.
Strange, I had all of my accounts banned but my spouses weren't. Same wifi. Appeal process was over 48h later and I was unbanned. If they were doing that, it seems any account that ever used Tor or a VPN would be banned.

Maybe they saw your "it was my neighbor on my wifi, I swear!" and reflex-nuked.

Also, mods don't suspend accounts, employees do. From user reports. Then admins reinstate or don't.

I wouldn't put it past them to auto-nuke any appeal with the word neighbor, though. That's the "my dog ate my homework" equivalent of trying to get out of a warranted ban.
That's fair - no two people work alike. It's a net catching my inefficiency :D

I'm curious about the depths you've gone, to have breakage. I've found it isn't really common, but I'm pretty much just assigning 'class=SomethingSpecific' to always go to SomeWorkspace

Not really a big investment, isn't fragile, and saves me a few minutes of annoyance every day - setting up everything split/etc

It's also worth mentioning cognitive load - I never have to look/wonder. It's like those old machines where you could keep typing when it's all hosed up, knowing it'll catch up

Being able to move around is a decent point. Though again - we all differ. I haven't used a machine that's not my personal one in at least a decade.

If I did have to restore it, it's a git clone/curl/wget away - plus the packages :P
Wouldn’t it be funny to find that the capabilities of LLM models have already peaked because we are unable to restrain ourselves from polluting the internet and other training corpus sources with their output?
This seems like a pretty even-handed discussion of the issues
That is essentially what VLF[1] does in Emacs. It reads in discrete chunks of the file at a time and doesn’t load the next one till you try to display it. Doesn’t require any fancy data structures, just some extra book keeping and mechanics.

The right-wing bent on HN has been here for at least 5 years, probably longer. I haven't noticed it get worse, just more confident because its been allowed for so long.

Low interest environments exist because liquidity is growing in the financial system. As that liquidity escapes into the consumer system, which it always does, it causes inflation.
This guarantees Kicad all day long for hobby hackers going forward.

Based on what I see in the Chinese electronics communities, pirated Altium seems to be quite popular too.
No, that's backwards. It takes about 12 cups of water to fill the inner pot to the "9 cup" line. In other words, 1 cup as measured by the lines is actually 1 1/3 cups (or about 315ml). So, measuring with the lines gives you more than you want, not less (as you would with a rice measuring "cup").

And, the manual doesn't mention anything about the scale (although it does mention the "MAX" line at the top of the pot).
> On the contrary, I love having these discussions.

Same, although my lawyer insists not to have them anymore when drinking.
Speaking as someone who wrote some internet articles on the side years ago... They probably have no choice. Legit news outlets either SEO optimize where they can and scrape by, or they die.
Lower your standards for your front end.

Make tech and project decisions that minimise the importance of a front end. For example an api is something you can launch and make a business out of. You can also make a business where instead of selling people software they use to do X, you do X for them using your software. Or take a look at Midjourney. Huge deal in AI generated images and their "frontend" is a Discord bot gated by a Stripe payment page.

Instead of spending a lot to pay someone else to do it, consider paying a little bit to make it easier for you to do it. Shell out for the premium library, third party api, theme, etc that makes getting your front end done just that little bit easier.
My understanding is that Shopify still hasn’t been able to migrate to Graal/TruffleRuby, even after 10-years of its development.

I think you and I are saying essentially the same thing: grammatical complexity seems to have little negative impact on language success.

> There was little choice for other features they offered (like Unix being written in C and bundling a C compiler) which.were the compelling reason to use them.

Pascal was around at the same time, is grammatically infinitely more elegant... and is dead.
> And then of course you get into inks.

Shimmering inks (inks with glitter suspended in them). You will probably need to use dip pens (I like glass ones), but the results are stunning. Not something you'd ever expect to see out of a pen.

Plus, you an also use thinned acrylic paints with dip pens...
Although the preface to Suttree is my favorite, the preface to The Passenger is beyond the best:

* It had snowed lightly in the night and her frozen hair was gold and crystalline and her eyes were frozen cold and hard as stones. One of her yellow boots had fallen off and stood in the snow beneath her. The shape of her coat lay dusted in the snow where she’d dropped it and she wore only a white dress and she hung among the bare gray poles of the winter trees with her head bowed and her hands turned slightly outward like those of certain ecumenical statues whose attitude asks that their history be considered. That the deep foundation of the world be considered where it has its being in the sorrow of her creatures. The hunter knelt and stogged his rifle upright in the snow beside him and took off his gloves and let them fall and folded his hands one upon the other. He thought that he should pray but he’d no prayer for such a thing. He bowed his head. Tower of Ivory, he said. House of Gold. He knelt there for a long time. When he opened his eyes he saw a small shape half buried in the snow and he leaned and dusted away the snow and picked up a gold chain that held a steel key, a whitegold ring. He slipped them into the pocket of his huntingcoat. He’d heard the wind in the night. The wind’s work. A trashcan clattering over the bricks behind his house. The snow blowing out there in the forest in the dark. He looked up into those cold enameled eyes glinting blue in the weak winter light. She had tied her dress with a red sash so that she’d be found. Some bit of color in the scrupulous desolation. On this Christmas day. This cold and barely spoken Christmas day.*
Or it was just an uncommon error and really doesn’t show anything at all. Seems like for all we know, a cosmic ray flipped a bit during the IMEI check, or maybe the initial stolen device report to T-Mobile gave the wrong IMEI and an innocent unit got flagged.

(That said, I’m going through a similar-ish issue right now with a pair of AirPods where I’m 90% sure Amazon, not Apple, is in the wrong, but considering Apple’s size and vast wealth, I’m kinda surprised they’re making me resolve my issue with Amazon rather than just sending me the version of AirPods Amazon was supposed to.)
The thing that’s frustrating about Fusion is how badly it performs even on very capable machines. There’s not really a good reason for that, even if it is a high value product.
I have a Pilot Metropolitan fountain pen and the ink in it evaporates really quickly. I bought a Platinum Preppy fountain pen for $6 and it’s much better in this regard.
When they decided to release it how they did they decided that compensation was secondary.

Maybe just the fact that their software is now used by millions of people is cool enough?
I only recently joined Reddit, mostly for the Tears of the Kingdom game leak and making it work 2 weeks before the official release, then this mess. I signed up for Lemmy, really couldn't care or less if Reddit dies or not.
I wish more data scientists used light percent format notebooks `#%%`. It can be combined now with other powerful tools (linting, formatting and git) that is impossible with the `ipynb` format

Agreed completely on fatalism and nihilism being mind viruses.

The fact is rich people can afford to live wherever they like more than anyone else. There's no reason for them to leave if they don't want to. But if they do leave and they're famous sometimes they'll take the opportunity to score political points.
At an AI meetup in San Francisco someone said this:

“Imagine a newsroom where you have to produce a daily newspaper and you suddenly stop getting feeds from the outside world. Your earlier newspapers are the only source.”

This is what to me LLMs eventually would get to—same content being fed again and again.
This is a tougher question than I initially thought. To be honest, I really don't care much for either anymore.

I rely on phind for my internet searches, while ChatGPT serves me for figuring out anything. If needed, I could always revert back to bing for internet scraping.

Honestly, I have grown to somewhat dislike both. I suppose I wouldn't mind eliminating either and seeing which one I miss more.

That works for a certain class of problem, but if I have a question about woodworking, home repairs, personal finance, a video game, or a bit of geography, it's not so comprehensive.
Google. Reddit has some top-drawer information but I find the site virtually unusable and wince every time I have to.
There should have been a lot of expansion at the beginning then a pull back when things started heating up too much. Unfortunately, that never happened under Obama (or we can blame the Obama administration and the Fed for never looking for the right signals), and by the time it was obvious the economy was overheating, Trump was in power.

It would be nice if we could get away from these big boom and big bust cycles. A bit of fiscal discipline could go a long way.
There are two things in tension though. One high interest rate puts the brakes on lending, which contracts the money supply. On the other hand, interest rates in general necessitate creation of money to satisfy interest rates-proportional to the rate. in order to "save the economy", because bank failures and defaults are "bad". If you increase rates, the existing system might not have the money to pay off the interest because we've increased rates.

Whether inflation is stopped or not depends on the interplay between loans winding down and the systems' needs for interest payments.
Don't forget that the west exported a lot of ots inflation to the east as it moved manufacturing there
I don't do reddit much, so unless the results in google are inaccessible while the blackout is ongoing, this won't affect google's ability to serve the same results as it did last week.
There's also the incredibly cheap debt those corporate interests used to make large purchases, to then extract profits for as long as possible while the debt could be forgotten about
I'd pick reddit. There are a lot of genuinely good communities and a lot of knowledge sharing.

Google, I could not care less about. Bing Search FTW!
people are told and believe that they are entitled to have their lives funded by others with whom they have no personal connection

if they are incapable of doing so on their own, then i very much believe that they are entitled to help.

the reverse is the problem. people believing that they have no responsibility to help others who are not capable to support themselves.

as a society we do have that responsibility.

It is a matter of debate whether healthcare should be

not where i come from.

Schools definitely not

education is a human right, and must be available to everyone regardless of their financial means.
That’s not a fair characterization of the problem.

It’s been known for a while that Reddit was planning to monetize their API, and that was never an issue.

The issue was the incredibly high pricing of the API (which would cost some external apps $20 million a year) combined with a surprisingly short-notice notification.

This combination is what made it impossible for third-party apps to adopt, forcing them to make the decision to shut down instead.
I think your assessments are pretty spot on.

I've visited many other countries but I should have added that most of my adult time has spent in high-end neighborhoods on the West Coast. Except for Poland and France I've never spent more than a couple of weeks in a country outside the USA. I grew up not rich in Southern California and people were polite there too. In my old age I am beginning to suspect that people are just nice to me for some reason, or that I don't perceive rudeness as well as I should.

On an individual level Chinese, Poles, rural Americans, and Russians are sort of like New Yorkers: once they know you're not going to kill them they're ridiculously warm and welcoming. Also New Yorkers: I have more than once been asked if I needed directions when I stood on a street corner consulting my nav. In 40 years of visiting New York City I just have never found people rude, whether it's bus drivers or wait staff or people in the finance district. Which means my impression of things may be suspect.
I don't really have much understanding of chemistry. So possibly the most helpful part for me is the diagram with little trucks, the cost chart, and the paragraph below that says:

"The electrochemical regeneration is not optimized...If the cell voltage could be reduced to 2 V and the faradaic efficiency raised to 80%, the total cost of hydrogen would be nearly cut in half...if the regeneration and reaction could be performed at 8 M rather than 3 M concentration along with an improved process and discounted electricity...the cost of hydrogen could drop to just over $3 per kg...[which is] below the cost of on-site electrolysis with full-priced electricity"

Why formate? Can't you get hydrogen from any acid, because that's literally the definition of an acid? "If the cell voltage could be reduced" sounds super fishy to me; isn't that just a useless wish that the elements / molecules you're working with have different properties than they actually do? "If the regeneration and reaction could be performed at 8 M rather than 3 M concentration...", why can't they? Doesn't a reaction usually proceed faster in more concentrated solutions?

It seems like several breakthroughs that are needed, some of which possibly stretch the laws of physics. But once you have that. But even with those improvements, they still compare formate+discounted electricity to electrolysis+fullprice electricity? Isn't that doing an apples-to-oranges comparison, blatantly putting your thumb on the scale in favor of formate?

For that matter, what's wrong with electrolysis for making hydrogen for bulk energy storage? Isn't water electrolysis super well-understood, cheap, simple, scalable, as safe as anything involving bulk quantities of hydrogen gas can be, and only requires water and electricity for inputs?

I am in way over my head here, so I wasn't able to tell if the authors addressed this, but my intuition is that this should be somewhat mitigated so long as people are providing the filter between which results are discarded and which might end up back in the training pool.

I would think that the human selection process would help to head off this conversion, both by selecting against incorrect results, and also by introducing variance outside of the model. On the other hand since a person can only act as a filter, I can also see how that would be of limited value long term.
Also this isn't exactly their complete client list. That's like saying "Con Edison provided power to these companies and they went bankrupt!"
What 20 year old doesn't?
Damn. I immediately got chill bumps reading this. I'm not one to fawn over so-called celebrity deaths, but here, we have lost a philosopher and a thinker who also told great stories. It feels like ideas and perspectives will be lost forever, referring to the ones he never wrote down or spoke about.

I have always been in love with McCarthy's deep philosophy in his writing. I like the following two examples, not for any particular relevance of their content but just for the deepness that they get at.

One is one of the final scenes in the No Country for Old Men film adaptation by the Coen brothers, and the dialogue is in the book as well. Sheriff Bell visits his cousin Ellis about feeling overmatched by the violence he's seen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdOPJKocMWg

> "What you got ain't nothing new. This country's hard on people. You can't stop what's comin'. It ain't all waiting on you. That's vanity."

The other is one of the final scenes in The Counselor, which is, as far as I know, McCarthy's only screenplay, at least that was actually filmed and released. The Counselor is on the phone begging for some way to get his wife back from the cartel, the Jefe of which explains the impossibility of the request regarding situation he has created: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIn7y4ejIFM

> "It is not for me to tell you what you should have done or not done. The world in which you seek to undo the mistakes that you made is different from the world where the mistakes were made. You are now at the crossing. And you want to choose, but there is no choosing there. There's only accepting. The choosing was done a long time ago. I don't mean to offend you, but reflective men often find themselves at a place removed from the realities of life. In any case, we should all prepare a place where we can accommodate all the tragedies that sooner or later will come to our lives. But this is an economy few people care to practice. ... You continue to deny the reality of the world you're in. You are at that crossing. At the understanding that life is not going to take you back. You are the world you have created. And when you cease to exist, this world that you have created will also cease to exist."

This is pure brutality in the form of prose and dialogue.
Hello Laura.

I am not an expert in payment platforms, however you have to take into account if what you want is a payment processor or a connection manager for payments on the financial accounts of your clients.

I recommend that, according to your objective, you carry out a gap analysis.

I share valuable information about the advantages and disadvantages of the two platforms.

They're crack dealers, to be sure. But they offer a lot of stationary supplies you can't get even in dedicated office supply stores. Like .3mm gel pens. And automatic rotating/advancing mechanical pencils.
From my Finnish perspective, discussion and decisionmaking are separate activities that need separate meetings. If someone wants to discuss something and then make the decision in the same meeting, I assume that they want to rubber-stamp the decision they have already made. If they come in prepared but the others don't, they have an advantage. If everyone comes in prepared, the actual discussion has likely already happened, and further discussion would be a pointless ritual.

The meetings where decisions are made can be large, because that gives legitimacy to the decisions. Discussions tend to happen in smaller groups, because it's impossible to have an actual discussion with more than about six people. If there are more people, some will dominate the discussion, while others will remain silent.

HELL YES

I would much, much rather pay more and know the staff were getting real wages. This is complicated by the fact that a large number of FOH workers prefer the $2 hourly plus tips because they don't disclose most of the tips on their taxes.
