Morally, everyone in a value chain should get a cut, including the cleaning lady keeping your toilet stalls fresh and the midwife who helped deliver her.

Alas our cultural narrative frames achievements as products of genius individuals existing in a vacuum rather than celebrating them as accomplishments of humanity or at least the societies that enabled them to be brought about.

So yeah, legally it doesn't make any sense. Morally it's highly debatable.
I guess that makes perfect sense, actually, now that I see they are making such a big push to make Unity games work. Presumably some of those existing Unity games can't work without such controllers.

Good news!
Genius. If you fire all the people you got no wages to pay! That means more money for Elon, right? /s
We use kicad for large complicated projects. The tool works but you need to get creative (write scripts) to manage libraries and run simulations. It's also missing some RF features that you need to integrate external tools for.

For smaller hobby project it's really good and has all you need.
That’s good news!

I never wrote that they put importance to it. I don't know because they said it, i know because i observe my peers.
i find my self mentioning this in several of the reddit threads on here because i think it is an important if only historic fact that reddit was not just founded by aaron swartz (i hope you know who that was) _and_ huffman! let that sink in. that's a sad irony and refutes the notion huffman doesn't know what reddit is about.

also even if reddit will just continue as if nothing happened - which i believe it will - it will still have changed. it officially lost its spirit and the engagement of many people who made and make reddit interesting. left will be the people who don't care.
they make these things called bags. but hey stranger, i appreciate you and everyone like you - i can't remember the last time i waited in a checkout line because i'm in and out of self checkout in like 2 minutes even at peak hours. it's amazing. i've also noticed that even the parking lot is less crowded at stores with self checkout. i'm sure someone has simulated this extensively because i can see it with my own eyes.

yet another job where i can, in fact, actually do it better myself. i'm just as fast on the self checkout machines as the cashiers are on their point of sale systems. the buffered queue also helps tremendously, instead of the line lottery of checkout lines. again - simulated and optimized.

the other people that do self checkout are also basically young-ish, single/alone, and would rather be anywhere than the fucking grocery store checkout line. separating people who are interested in getting the fuck out of there with food from the people who are slow, clumsy, and deliberately take a long time to make sure all their tiny little nitpicks are addressed by a captive employee audience is the best thing to happen to groceries in the 30+ years i've been wasting my life 15 minutes at a time at stores.

If you already own the domain, one way of staying free is to use Cloudflare email redirection. Cloudflare has a feature such that if you own xyz.com, they can redirect all mails coming to <address>@xyz.com to any other email you provide.

For sending, you can use any service such as Sendgrid or even plain SMTP/IMAP.

We might always have a certain volume of music and literature that can be training data, because even if it’s synthetic it’s still popular, which means it speaks to a subset of humans. That everyone reads the next Harry Potter indicates the impact of those 80k words.

But we also know that kid who learned everything from books, pronounces the words wrong and uses definitions for them that nobody has used in decades (work with one of those now. I thought I could talk people to death, and he wears even me out.) those AIs will sound like out of touch nerds too.
> I absolutely don't understand how Reddit, Twitter, Yelp etc think that they own the data and be the gatekeeper for the content they didn't create.

Suppose you are hosting a wordpress blog with a comments section. Some people leave occasional comments in your blog — god knows why. Some people may even start arguing with each other in the comments section. Their comments are stored on your server. Don't you own them? Can't you delete them? Can't you disable the comments any time you wish?

Suppose now you are hosting a bulletin board, where more people are posting their messages. Don't you own all that? After all, the texts are stored on your server. Can't you delete the board at any point, or run data analysis on the posts, or even send targeted messages to your users, etc.?

Now scale this mentally to reddit, etc. At which point do you start arguing that the service doesn't own the data that it stores?
At university in the 00s, I used to sell various bits I'd imported from China - initially fresnel lenses and 'mini aerials' back when phones still had aerials.

They were really cheap to buy and ship, but if I sold them for anything less than £5 plus postage my sales would drop like a stone. As a nod to the price conscious I'd sometimes also do penny ebay auctions to try them at lower prices, but often the bid amounts would reach or exceed the buy it now prices.

Good photos and descriptions helped set a 'standard' for what I was selling, at a time when plenty of things online didn't have these. But a tiny bit of searching could find what I sold at far lower prices. But people were happy to buy from me.
I am surprised that there is no central catalog in the us.

The system is different because it's designed to have a pricing system with health insurances and also far away from perfect. But the treatments etc are standardized.
What's interesting about the "they should go programmatic" argument is that programmatic ads are increasingly less lucrative thanks to low-quality traffic and the perceived ineffectiveness of cookie-based retargeting. (Yes, please, show me a hundred banner ads for that pair of pants I literally just purchased!) Programmatic ads also tend to generate more profit for the middlemen who broker transactions than they do for the publishers who display ads; once all of the ad platforms involved in the transaction have taken their cut, there's not much left.

In response to this, some people have been driving a push back to traditional/contextual ads, similar to what Reddit is currently doing. So, in theory, if Reddit is selling Guaranteed High Quality ad space, and selling it to brands with whom they have a direct partnership,[2] and not getting skimmed off the top by middlemen, they should be raking in the advertising dollars. Right?

But they're clearly not! Or not nearly enough to be profitable.

The efforts against third-party apps are clearly an attempt to drive more ad impressions (because you can't drive impressions if users aren't in an environment where you can serve impressions), but I somehow doubt that that's gonna make a big difference, even if third-party-app-users all threw up their hands and migrated, without protest, to official channels.

[1] The real cash cow among programmatic ads is video advertising, since those placements are more valuable and fetch a higher price, but I also see that as a trap for Reddit—their decision to start natively hosting video seems pretty short-sighted for a company that's already not breaking even. If they wanted to go hard on video ads, they'd have to start prioritizing more video content, which means hosting more video content....

[2] Perhaps not for nothing that half the ads on Reddit these days are for that vaguely evangelistic "He Gets Us" campaign. The buyers clearly have money to throw around, but the relative lack of other ads mixed in has to say something about the (lack of) demand for Reddit's inventory.
I have seen this happen over and over. This is the issue that should be front and center for elections but public doesn't know what is going on. Recently PE firm bought out the building which had oldest and only rock climbing gym. PE firm refused to renew their lease and forced to shut it down. The entire community of rock climbers basically died overnight. Lots of children growing up and learning this sport would not have opportunity that their parents did.

The disease of PE firm is very real. I am all for free markets but this is NOT free market. These are the cockroaches that get capital from funds that manages yours and mine 401K. They use that capital to kill local businesses, install new passive income generator like warehouse in order to cut all the costs and then sell it back to suckers for short term profits. The price of their profits are paid by huge negative impact on who continues in the area where they caused devastations.
>The first 10 years of the internet were volunteers creating for other volunteers. The next 10 was volunteers for 'users'. The last 10, for corporations.

And the next 10 years will remove the volunteers entirely. AI will be the one creating the content for the corporations. That seems inevitable at this point. We have already been on that path for a while with the spread of algorithmic feeds. First we removed the humans from the recommendations and editorial decisions. The next step is to remove them from the creation.

Maybe if we are lucky we will get some of those "corresponding Wikipedias" too. Reddit seems to have made their choice that they don't value communities, creators, volunteers, or anything like that. They just want to serve up the lowest common denominator content to show you between ads. Volunteers complaining is just unnecessary "noise". AI won't complain.
They don’t say whether the author knew the grades when selecting the images. They also don’t say whether the jurors knew the grades. As long as they didn’t know I doubt that it had an impact on the study.

You could skew the results if you knew the grades but it wouldn’t be easy.
What are the chances of Reddit charging subreddits a $$ for going private?

What are the chances of Reddit adding red tape for removing subreddits?
To have your smartphone batteries buldge? Maybe, especially Samsung, to have these batteries suddenly explode? Unlikely especially for laptops, phones/tables is still probable. If I were you and want to just make sure all is safe, you can buy some of these li-ion bags/containers that are fireproof, and store the batteries inside, and label them with their devices. I do that in addition to drones batteries, some of them are 6kg each!
Something I found dismaying was just how only a few of the subreddit communities I liked had any alternative platforms to go to: only the fountain pens community had a Discord server. And upon joining that server the day before the blackout, it was pretty clear just how much work had already gone into making that community feel immediately welcoming (looks like it took at least a year) and ready to handle huge influx of new users.

Given that Christian Sellig made his criticism of the API changes public only 11 days prior to the blackout and made his decision to close down Apollo only 3 days prior, most subreddits just wouldn't have the chance to get started elsewhere, regardless of whether it's Discord or Lemmy or whatever. Discord arguably requires among the least amount of technical savvy to use among the alternatives, but ensuring it doesn't become instant chaos is a nontrivial social problem. And certainly, 11 days to break the inertia of 100k+ users to move elsewhere is nontrivial as well.

"I ponder"

Probably not, or it would have been more difficult or taken longer. That generation is exemplified in Tom Brokaw's truly excellent book The Greatest Generation. He covers the lives of people of that generation and shows how they took life as it came and when adversity struck they managed the best they could and did so without complaint.

I have an interest in the historical aspects of old photographs, those taken in the 19th Century and early 20th, Civil War photos etc. and there's an excellent collection on the Library of Congress web site and among them is a large collection of Lewis Hine's National Child Labor Committee Collection, and I found them very informative—one can learn things from these photos that never make it into the history books. One thing immediately obvious to me was the vast majority of the kids were happy and enjoying themselves. In the photos one sees kids poking fun at other at other ones, a kid in a row behind making fun of one in front of him without his knowledge and so on. They were acting naturally doing what kids do.

The photos depict the harsh life these kids led and their work conditions are clearly unacceptable by today's standards but I'd suggest that for most of human history a kid's life wasn't a bed of roses—a century earlier it'd likely have been worse. One thing is clear from the photos is that these kids had developed an adaption and resilience to life's knocks at a very early age and because they were all in the same boat together they accepted their lives as the norm.

I've mentioned on HN previously that today's kids are much more mollycoddled and protected than even I was as a kid, I was allowed to do things that kids today would never be allowed to do today and my parents weren't harsh, it was just how things were for all kids back then. That freedom meant we experienced more of life's knocks at an early age than today's kids and I reckon it put us in good stead. I worry about today's society where trivial matters are often blown up to seem as if they are life-threatening events.

Incidentally, when browsing through Hine's photographs one thing was very noticeable, many of those kids were dressed in little more than rags but most wore excellent shoes and boots (that is if they wore them, many didn't). I couldn't help thinking I'd like a few pairs of them myself. I've never gotten to the bottom of this, why was the quality of the footwear seemingly so much better a century ago than it is today?

That's not true, you're conflating

- QE/ QT (buying / selling bonds) with

- Yield (Curve) Control ("FOMC goes into the market and buys or sells bonds until the rate hits their target" - the BOJ does this) with

- the FED interest rate (the rate which banks have to pay to borrow money from the FED)

Just check the bond yield of various US govt bonds (e.g. here: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/%5EFVX), they vary all the time and are not necessarily close to the FED rate
Right -- and there is a hugely important consequence of this design for people learning to program:

It was almost impossible to enter a syntactically incorrect program. Because the keyboard routines were doing the work of what would now be a lexer and parser.

The keyboard would only let you enter syntactically valid code.

One other nostalgia side-effect; where many games for eight bit computers used Q-A-O-P-<Space> for directional controls plus action, Sinclair games typically defaulted to Q-A-O-P-M, as a result.

EDIT: I meant someone with 'vip' status, not someone just known to the admin stuff. That still does not invalidate my point.

I think my examples address the questions or what do you think they miss? You suffer either because of low status or you have low status because you suffer of some deficiencies that other people think you have.
For sure low status can also be arbitrary in many cases but it still has consequences.
> The average person enjoys the convenience of consolidation under one corporate overlord.

It's not that. Reddit is where much of the community is today, much like Usenet was where the community was in the 90's.

People are going to go where most people are. Unless something can replace those network effects, nothing's going to change.
But then, how can one argue for a git reset hard, if it seems that people are willingly preferring places where everyone is over the places where only someone is?
For not being a charity they seem to gladly accept a lot of free volunteer work and free content created for them.

I'd say in terms of value to the platform they got a great deal.
What an odd post.

In the same post ostensibly meant to posture strength and solidarity they go out of their way to point out that there is a good chunk of people that simply cannot live without reddit dot com (in this case a subforum about stopping drinking and a subforum about the war in Ukraine).

These groups have not, can not, will not move away from Reddit. Not only is there no real long term plan in general, there isn’t even a bandaid short-term plan for vulnerable groups.

As far as I can tell the only “alternatives” on offer are slightly varied copies of the Reddit UI offered by a cornucopia of strangers, each fancying themself as the newer, better, more generous and thoughtful versions of the Reddit founders.

It’s a veritable chorus of virtue from a group of people that will read “violentacrez” and knowingly scoff at it even being mentioned, or will Google “violentacrez” for the first time and start writing a defense of their favorite website.

> A decorator in Python (and I guess other languages) is a nothing but a function of a function. And you’re taking those side effects out of your function. What’s not to like?

A Python decorator may be "just a function", but in order to do anything useful it generally has to do some kind of nasty hack - mutable state, global state, monkeypatching or the like - because the meat of what a decorator does usually lies in what happens when you call a decorated function, not in when you define it.
Something in our industrial processes must be screwing with people's serotonin levels because Psychedelics and other serotenergic drugs are becoming the defacto treatment method for a whole host of ailments. I personally suffer from IBS, migraines, sleeping problems, and mood swings, if I haven't taken a dose of psychedelics in the last 6 months. Now, getting regular exercise, eating well, staying hydrated, sleeping 8 hours a night, spending time with friends, sexual and emotional fulfillment, and performing fulfilling labor, that will get you 80% or even 100% towards fixing most, if not all your problems. But I think these Serotonergic drugs give people the extra push in the right direction, and immediately fixes a lot of the underlying problems that would normally take consistent, positive environmental changes to root out.

I myself am biased towards psychedelics, but I understand they're not for everyone. But SSRIs tend to be overprescribed and because they are often taken for far longer than necessary they cause a lot of changes neurophysically that aren't necessarily positive (and the most common side-effect, the loss of sex-drive, often creates many more problems for the user in their personal life.) I honestly don't know what's best, but I think almost nobody will have a poor reaction to a <1g dose of Psilocybin mushrooms (or if we want to be more conservative, <.5g), and the benefits of even just one small dose far outweigh the risks, in my opinion.
This essay seems to rely explicitly on the idea that Government deficits are always monetised, and that the Central Bank is forced to do this and has no say in the matter, which causes inflation.

That seems empirically incorrect - debt monetisation is practically peformed using quantitative easing (where new money is issued to buy government debt) which is a policy instrument under the direct control of western Central Banks. If Central Banks cease quantitative easing, or engage in quantitative tightening (as all western Central Banks have done), then there's no reason for a fiscal deficit to be inherently inflationary, and therefore no reason for rising interest rates to cause inflation.
The paper linked to in the Criticism section of the article [1] is well with reading, IMO.
It points out that AOP only works when there is "obliviousness of application", i.e the code to which the aspect is applied doesn't need to know about the aspect, and argues that this kind of obliviousness is pretty rare.

Why write technical content on a blog and not only on social media
My poor sleep and stresses started well before Covid, but definitely came to a head then, combined with my wife's illness from long covid.

After seeing what covid did to my wife and others with long covid, plus friends who lost parents etc., I remain fully supportive of the lockdowns here in the UK - though as I've said here before:

the lockdowns were not about saving the old, but about keeping as many of the infirm out of hospital as possible, so that people wouldn't die from broken arms or childbirth.
