One of the key criticisms from the moderator side of things is that Reddit by itself is not usable; you simply can't moderate a large subreddit effectively using only on-platform tools. So they can't migrate to a Reddit clone which won't have all the third party support that's been built up.

Some communities have talked about going to Discord, but that's of course more of a closed platform in most ways.
i received the email today, so i expect yours is on the way.

as far as i can tell the new mailbox service is not available yet. the FAQ says there should be a convert option, but it's not there yet, nor can i find any information on the cost or features of the new mail service.
That certainly wasn't my experience. I didn't know any better until I moved to another country.
I'd be a lot more willing to try if whatever identity I made was somehow portable to another instance if I change my mind later, rather than feeling like I've just entered into permanent lock-in with a random party of unclear reputation and future compared to the other choices. At least for me, that choice-barrier is surprisingly strong.
This seems like a shitty thing to do. Assuming you’re not gay. It seems disingenuous to present as a member of their community on a dating app. I’m not saying don’t hang out with an LGBT crew, just don’t start it with a fake dating connection.

It’s like that woman who broke down with her boyfriend in the back woods of Norway. Couldn’t find a tow truck so she hopped on tinder. Connected with a lonely Norwegian in minutes. He came out and helped. I’m sure he was happy to help because he’s a great guy. And I’m not saying she should freeze to death, but it feels dishonest.
That's from 2016 and documents a continuum of warming transfering from the mantle upwards via the ocean.

It does not demonstrate any increase in that continuum of long cooling of the core via conduction outwards .. which is what the blog post asserts:- namely that recent increases in the surface layer temp. must (via some unexplianed mechanism) be due to an increase in the conduction that has already occurred since the earth formed.

He has no data that supports this, that paper you linked does not support this.

As an example of what would be required as minimal support would be (say) long term mining logs; exploration logs showng a mean increase in temp. at fixed depths for various locations over decades, or operation logs from very deep underground mines showing an increase in the energy required to cool deep working levels to a human workable range.

We should continue this when his blog post has been better written, better supported, and submitted to a peer review journal.

I have an instant pot and it's been going strong for the last 5 years.

The main reason I got it instead of a competitor is the amount of recipes out there on the internet specifically for the instant pot which show the exact settings to use, step by step.

Hopefully there will be some kind of market for aftermarket spare parts and repairs, if the company completely shuts down.

My name's not Steve and I don't think anyone would hire me to consult, but oh I dunno, this sure wouldn't be the way I'd go about it. I've actually read some horrifying hypotheticals on how reddit could've boiled this frog a lot slower, probably quiet silently.

In some sense, as a non-share holder who wants to see people build these communities in the open, I appreciate this approach.
Imagine that your friend who got into methamphetamine a while back has graduated from doing a bump before going out on Saturday night to snorting fat lines for breakfast, and some more before dinner, and now it's "oh, hell, midnight on a Tuesday already, why don't we just stay up all night again". Their ideas are getting weird, they're starting to feel the toll relentless insomnia takes, they can see the crash coming, they know - deep down - that they really ought to stop, and then they ask: "any reason I shouldn't just start knocking myself out with Xanax every night so I can sleep?"

What do you tell them?
Broken legislative system? Not only was it designed to lock up in a split-Congress scenario, it was also explicitly given the responsibility of minting coinage and the Constitution was written silent on the issue of a central bank (which via the 10th Amendement thus is prohibited to the federal government and reserved to the states). The debate on the very nature of the country's money goes back to its founding. But here you are making very European assumptions about the role of legislature and central banking.

You're free to advocate for those roles, but don't conflate the circumstances with dysfunction. An active legislature and the Fed's existence are diametrically opposed to the federal government's principal design.

self-checkout lanes are not viewed as a bad thing by many. Given the option of a self checkout or staffed checked, I'd choose self checkout. The negative aspect of self-checkout is that it's usually paired with the store being understaffed, instead of redirecting the freed up staff to other roles.
Even prior to that, I believe health care providers are required to get written agreement from you in order to require you to pay (which you wouldn't be able to do unconscious).

I've read [1] that Healthcare facilities often practice a dark pattern here though by combining both the consent to accept treatment and costs into one form/signature.

But regardless of that, AFAIK, if you never consent to payment, you're not legally obligated to pay. Of course it would always be better if none of this shenanigans existed but... Yeah.

That's not a physical law. It only happens sometimes in some parts of the supply chain in the form of economies of scale. But if you run out of easily drilled oil sources, the unit cost of produce more oil increases. If you want to build more cars, you would increase demand for parts, and would in turn be willing to pay more for the scarcer parts, and your BOM increases.

It only makes sense to refer to what you described as a phenomenon you want to pursue if you want to run a successful business, but can never be used to describe the economy as a whole.

> kept trying to find a way to keep up the growth curve it had when Instant Pot was being adopted

I think if you're to pick a lesson to takeaway, this is it.

There are other objectives to pursue, than "continue to grow as much or more this year as we did last year". That objective in particular is destined for eventual, guaranteed failure – and an outcome that leads to decomposition (by PE, bankruptcy, whatever).

If you live by the sword of greed, you die by the sword of greed. It's tragic but banal in the 20th/21st Century US – great brands succumb to it every day.
Sitting over here playing flight sim, aoe 4 (and 2 every now and then cuz that remaster was fantastic), Forza horizon, looking forward to starfall after the epic gameplay trailer, and wondering someone can have such a drastically different view.

You're right, and I'm one of them (tynbil.com). Problem is, that's where the money is right now and those are the only customers willing to put up with slightly wrong data.

On the optimistic side, what will happen sooner rather than later is that most billing codes will converge to an average market rate. Right now, there's no invisible hand guiding reimbursement rates because no one knows what anyone else is getting.

Once a market rate is established, it'll be easier to compare providers. Provider A will be 15% less across the board than Provider B, but might have younger docs or lower quality scores.

> Send me your interesting queries

I'd be interested to see what the top Show HN posts were, after adjusting for the growing size of the HN community. That is, posts from 10 years ago would not have garnered as many upvotes simply because the community was smaller, and presumably posts were upvoted less back then, in general.

I don't know the best way to measure this; it could be normed based on the median number of upvotes for the top story each week, bucketed by month. Probably someone has a better idea for this.

I've found reddit first party search to be pretty lack luster. More often than not, I'd have to fallback to Googling "site:reddit.com/r/subreddit-of-interest <terms>" and while better, that's about a 50/50 a lot of the time.

Reddit does this thing where it advertises other threads on the same page of whatever you're viewing. So sometimes the promoted content was the thing actually relevant to the search and not the current thread. And this would be fine except it's not static/deterministic. The promoted content usually changes between when it's indexed and when it's accessed at a later time - so the thing that made it relevant to the search often isn't there anymore. So you have to either view the cached paged if available, go back and try different results, or refine your search.
After /r/TheDonald was banned, a bunch of right wingers did exactly this by creating TheDonald.win and other sites (including one for /r/TheRedPill), forming the win network. Honestly, the interface was better than Reddit and the site was very active, demonstrating that moving communities off-Reddit is very doable.

TheDonald.win went down because the admin saw the light after Jan 6 (https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/02/05/why-the...)

As a motorcyclist, I concur. I'm pretty smooth at getting from zero to road speed without making the passenger seasick. But I can tell by the sounds of the highway, a lot of passengers probably hate motorbikes because of their pilots. Not many manual drivers, even on motorbikes where you'd think they might be more tuned in to their engines, are very good at it.
Honestly, the good old davinci model has proven to be much better at writing for me. 3.5 feels overtrained.

You also have to give it a good sample of how to write, else it will write at the average quality of fiction that it has been fed.

Here's something by GPT-4: https://chat.openai.com/share/ab2fc479-f3f9-4bf9-b625-e2aab7...

The same prompt with GPT-3.5: https://chat.openai.com/share/be81167d-11eb-4f38-b1b4-b6f592...

The original plot was actually generated by davinci, which I think is the most creative of the three. 3.5 for price and speed, GPT-4 has rationality and experience, and davinci has his head up in the cloud.

"A legion of golfers, dozens in number, dressed in plaid or argyle or attired in golfing gear from a bygone era, with visors and gloves and golf bags still stained with the grass and dirt of prior rounds. Some wore knickers and tam o'shanters, while others donned bright polo shirts and khaki shorts. One golfer carried a large umbrella, another wore white knee-high socks stained with grass, and another wore a bloodstained wedding veil. Some wore hats adorned with feathers or made of rawhide, and one even dressed in the armor of a medieval knight. The golfers' faces were painted in outrageous patterns, like a troupe of carnival performers, all howling and shouting in a language unintelligible to the uninitiated, as they approached the tee box like a raiding party from a wilder world than that of the manicured course they terrorized, screeching and yammering, their clothing billowing behind them like smoke from some infernal realm."
You forgot to recommend an alternative approach
From the API calls that you'd need to pass on to the user, this is a difference of $2/month for no push notifications (9000 calls) vs $10/month (9k calls + 30 * 1.4k calls is about 50k calls). Add on top of that a 30% Apple subscription cost (15% after a year), and we're to $3/month and $13/month and a bit of padding and a slim profit and you're at $5/month and $15/month.

If Reddit is saying "it's $2 for the 300 calls per day" that is claimed for the mobile app usage they're correct looking at what they charge for API calls based on the developer saying that the average user does 345 calls/day from the mobile app.

From the app develop perspective who also has a polling back end and an apple subscription cut and maintaining the same profit as before on top of it all, they're likely looking at closer to $20/month for that same user (noting that previously they were charing $4.99 and it was almost all profit for that user).

I think the article makes some good points. Andressen it seems wants to have it both ways.

> Marc says that these models will soon become loving tutors and coaches, frontier scientists and creative artists, that they will “take on new challenges that have been impossible to tackle without AI, from curing all diseases to achieving interstellar travel.” How does it do all this without developing something like a mind?1 Why do you think something so smart that it can solve problems beyond the grasp of human civilization will somehow totally be in your control?

These are fair questions. I think Andressen is doing that for the purpose of boosting this hype cycle and lay his hands on more venture funds. But at the same time Andressen is completely right to ask for a "falsifiable hypothesis".

The doomers have to mathematically prove that AI will kill humanity in all these ways to justify what they are asking for - completely restrictive regulations that will just entrench the current players in the field.

A lot of the fears expressed in the article itself seem to come from a very poor understanding of what these GPT tools are doing in the first place. At a wider level what is really misaligned is our misunderstanding of language and how central it is to "intelligence" itself.
With reference to historic input costs. If a firm is not paying new, increased input costs, nor demonstrated some remarkable new efficiency, than they’re most likely gouging.
I know next to nothing about options and so I have a question. QQQ appears to an ETF with 'usual suspect' holdings[1] so what is it about QQQ that make it useful for your purposes ?

From my limited understanding of options going long on QQQ would make sense if it tended to move in the reverse direction to BTC, and I assume that's what it does because otherwise you wouldn't be doing it, but can you explain why it does that ?

> direly warned the deployment of the defense production act to commandeer basic supply companies

there'd be no grounds for which this could be reasonable. Usurping private assets is not a thing, and should never be a thing that is allowed in a democratic society with rule of law, except in circumstances such as national defence, or some other emergency. High inflation (which, compared to the 1970s' isn't actually that high) is not such an emergency situation where this form of usurping of private assets would be justifiable.
Often it gets bought and consolidated into a bigger entity. In the 80s and 90s it would be shipped to Mexico, Costa Rica or (in later years) China where it was put to use operated by a much cheaper workforce.
not really but I get flooded with sports videos. "Not interested" and "Don't recommend channel" tend to reinforce this behavior.

It's extremely fast and responsive. I keep meaning to explore it more...
Another potential approach is to use a traditional rope as-is, and generate a series of reverse operational transforms everytime there is an edit. Run a "compacting operation" every n edits to keep the stack of ops from growing out of hand.
I believe the plain theme put a lot of the shitmunchers off for a long time. But we can't have nice things, so the reddit owners had to try to make it like all other shitty social media (starting with the redesign - echoes of Digg there).
I guess I don't follow what these software companies would do long term being "all in" on AI. Training AI on your personal files, writing docs for you, etc really seems like no moat. (Unless the big companies push for AI "regulation" or "safety" that only they can afford to sell).

Seems more a good play for hardware than software sellers.
The thing is, the mods work for free. If reddit wants to replace them, they'll have to hire people moderate these communities (no chance).
appears to be abandonware. i remember trying it back in its day.
16k is tokens on 3.5 is amazing but they also complicated the pricing from a simple flat per 1k token to two separate fees for input and output … I think it’s better maybe but token based pricing is challenging to reason with and even more so to explain to customers

Ask HN: Transition from Web to Embedded
I have been doing web development for about 5 years now and am at a point now where I am getting pretty bored. I'm 32 and have a degree in Electrical Engineering from a good engineering school in the states, but it's been a long time since I've used it.

I'm wondering if anyone has transitioned from web dev into doing more lower level firmware type programming for a job. How did this go? Do you have any advice? Was there some kind of curriculum you followed?

I am worried that specializing more will lead to fewer job opportunities, but I find myself gravitating more towards embedded types of projects in my free time and enjoying them much more than I do any kind of work I do during my day job.

> Second, get off your drugs.

No offense, but I'd rather leave any advice related to medication to a doctor, albeit one that you trust. While SSRIs (and SNRIs) do tend to make symptoms worse, this is typically just during the onboarding period and lasts 2-6 weeks before the actual relief comes. This is also why a lot of people don't stick with them. Just to throw my personal anecdote, I was on Zoloft for years and the onboarding period sucked, but I eventually found relief after about 4 weeks that nothing had or has come close to, including seeing a psychologist weekly and CBT. The only reason I'm not currently on it is because I'm on a scholarship for a graduate program, which forbids working and my stipend doesn't cover a good enough insurance plan for me to afford seeing a psychiatrist and medication on top of rent and necessities.

I can't speak for benzodiazepines or other psychotropics.
