>Their issue is that they are not employed by Amazon, so Amazon is just ignoring them, and they want Amazon to pay attention to them and negotiate.

Their issue is that the company they work for is essentially a vassal of Amazon and the system is set up this way so that Amazon isn't held accountable for the worker abuses that ultimately result from the KPIs set by Amazon.

This economic system is starting to feel like crypto-feudalism...

Can’t tell if this is clever propaganda to put a positive spin on this by using the words “much more”.

They are still starving to death. “Much more” is relative in this case. The men are paid state sponsored wages and it’s not enough to survive on, literally. Women only make more because they are selling black market items to keep their children and families alive, and to keep their neighbors from starving to death, which, as the article says, is not even possible anymore.

What's the difference for users between Google buying Reddit and Reddit just shutting down now? One promo cycle? Less?

There's no "long run" any more for Google's touch of death, like there was for Google Groups; they've gotten quite good at speed-running value destruction.

> we shouldn't underestimate how a job title helps people from underrepresented groups

That point is addressed in the post:

> On the other hand, the measure corrects for insidious biases: the title can lift some of the burden of constantly having to prove your worth, especially if you're not a member of a historically privileged group. It can also correct for compensation bias: two staff engineers should be making the same amount, even if one of them is a white guy and the other isn't. (Compensation can get perilously out of whack without banding tied to titles.) The bias is still there, it's been compartmentalized into convincing the org that you meet a rubric, but you can at least bring receipts to that conversation.
Yeah I find it really hard to see how they're being charitable. Just an old fart arguing for the continued relevance of curmudgeon-y technology instead of actually responding to the points being argued.

What people who still care about writing C are doing is starting to use tools to bring some of what Rust offers to C, because they acknowledge that avoiding entire categories of bugs is actually really good, despite which language you use. But... no mention of that here, it seems.
For whiteboarding remotely I use https://excalidraw.com. I use it exactly for your use case. I’ve told live stories with it.
You’re being very dishonest again, and are consistently portraying things in the worst light possible. An individual system of pump hydro can be built much larger than any realistic battery facility. There are enough viable locations that it will scale better than batteries. You need to let this go and stop BSing.

There was no need for compressed air or thermal energy storage until recently. In fact, there were no large scale battery energy storage systems until recently either. All of them are starting to happen.

Your point about low grade heat is entirely a red herring. It’s not even true as storage of low grade heat is valuable in a renewable energy world. But more importantly those energy storage can definitely store higher grades of heat. Especially if it is hot enough to drive a turbine, or used to that heat to make other systems more efficient. In large scale facilities, it is not meaningfully less efficient that batteries. So the conclusion is the same: there does not really need to be batteries for this purpose. You can eliminate them and save yourself the money. After all, you already admitted that you need those other systems anyways, so just have those other systems and not bother with batteries.
Not sure why you couldn't continue doing so with Lemmy. Like reddit, you only need an account to participate, not browse.

We use WASIX [1] to enable multi-threaded tokio inside Webassembly.

That's actually how we have implemented static sites.

For each site a a WebAssembly instance is spawned that runs a tokio static-web-server [2], which is multi-threaded and concurrently handles requests.

That way the Edge serves static sites in the exact same way as you can run them locally (with `wasmer run wasmer/docs`, for example).

The linked article has nothing to do with the harms of LLMs on the users of LLMs. Saying something like "Google is harming users and saying that their employees shouldn't be subjected to this harm" is misleading and off topic.
It's ironic that I posted "federated services are difficult to engage with because the people designing and advocating for them are more interested in ramming an ideology down your throat and condescending you than they are providing a service" and a bunch of people responded by ramming their ideology down my throat and condescending me.

Yes, I acknowledge that not every service needs to be a mega service that everyone flocks to. Yes, I acknowledge that multiple products can exist than when combined replace a prior, larger service. Yes, I acknowledge that Lemmy, Mastodon, Diaspora or whatever else you like is great and fine for you and I'm happy for you and that's OK.

No, I don't think any of these services will realistically replace Reddit and I think that if Reddit dies then Digg 3.0 will spring up in it's place.

> It does not need the popularity of reddit to be valid.

I never said it was invalid. This isn't an attack on the technology. It's OK. You can calm down. It's my opinion that it isn't a drop-in replacement for Reddit and unlikely to see widespread adoption or prevent another Reddit from appearing.

It's like talking to Web3 zealots. I'm not attacking you, I promise.

> And it does not need to be designed explicitly for the layperson.

It does if it wants to be as useful as Reddit is today and Digg was before it or achieve the same popularity. You argue that we don't need a single service to be popular and that's OK but I live in reality.

You're comparing apples and oranges. You acknowledge that Lemmy does not attempt to be everything Reddit is today. I'm suggesting that that leaves a gap and people are interested in that gap.

People have become accustumed to having a single location to visit to obtain a depth of knowledge on a wide breadth of topics. I don't think, and I think you acknowledge, that Lemmy attempts to fill that need. And thus something like Reddit 2.0/Digg 3.0 will always exist.
Since when are public libraries responsible for improving the grades of students? I relied on the public library for computer/Internet access and of course reading for most of my childhood and never had that expectation... no doubt it helped me indirectly because I read a lot and I had no consistent access to the Internet otherwise, but how do you define "effectiveness/reach"? Can a filthy library occupied by homeless people be effective? My thoughts: it's largely up to parents to bring their kids to public libraries and encourage them to read. And that's not going to happen if it's not a comfortable place to spend time (i.e. clean and quiet). What's in the collection is of secondary importance.
Definitely not. But if you just want to hold up credentials, then David Baltimore seems pretty convinced that SARS-CoV-2 arose unnaturally, and I'm pretty sure a Nobel prize beats a paper in Science. So I hope you now agree credentialism is dumb?

Some areas of the origins debate require deep knowledge of the evolutionary biology of related viruses (e.g. the extent to which the coding of the FCS suggests engineering), but most of the debate is understandable with only basic molecular biology and math. From your post history, I'd guess you're better-placed to understand something like Pekar's epidemiological model than most of his reviewers were. So if you're interested enough to comment here, then I'm not sure why you wouldn't try?

Do the sanctions prevent other countries from providing humanitarian aid?

Russia helped North Korea previously, but has been strained in years, plus the war probably further strains any aid.

China could certainly help, but that relationship I think is also strained by North Korea not being able to pay their bills for crucial resources to keep the lights on.

Timber frames can definitely last hundreds of years. I have multiple family members on my wife's side who live in houses with parts dating back 100-200 years. They've been kept up and more or less continuously occupied, but it's not as though that meant continuously conditioned as we would think of it until sometime in the 20th century.

Hell, you can drive through New England and see barns that are 150 years old that are only starting to fall down after 50 years of deferred maintenance.

If you keep wood dry, it'll last a good long while. Whether you consider 100-200 years a long time, will of course depend on perspective:

You actually provided a citation? Or did you just say something with no evidence?
Why do points 1 and 2 require strong engineering background? Knowing a feature is important or what features users actually want is not related to how hard it is to implement or how long it will take. If you have a good relationship with your engineers, you should be able to talk to them and trust their input.

Point 4 is the one that really sounds like needing engineering background.
The official Android app, Jerboa, doesn't require an account at all and defaults to anonymous browsing.
Yup. It's RPi or nothing. It's the software that makes these valuable, not hardware specs. If I wanted to sell an ARM board I'd make it as Pi compatible as possible.
Surprised to not see Qwik. It's probably more a framework than just a HTML enhancer, yet it fits very much in that philosophy of reducing JS to the very bare minimum
Or have it crawl anything but be able to provide allow lists the way uBlock Origin allows picking block lists.

But I'm not sure I would want an allow list approach. How to you run into new interesting websites? How would people find your new website? A block list would be good though.

>Note how vague the site gets when they talk about applications.

It's a DFRobot product. I used to work for a company that distributed DFRobot products in the US, and this is broadly consistent with their corporate philosophy. Their designers crank out thousands of products to keep ahead of other Shenzen companies who are fast-following them. (Notably Seeedstudio) You can view their full catalog here, and it's quite the sight to see: https://www.dfrobot.com/category-48.html

They generally take the OEM reference design, put it on a pcb, and add connectors. The API will be minimal. Compatibility is a joke. (For instance, they make no effort to avoid I2C address collisions-- how could they, when most of them are hard-coded by the device vendor, and they only make the PCB? You have to be careful when stacking several different Arduino shields, since they'll very often be talking on the same pins. There will be no warning of this on the product page, of course, so the end user must carefully examine the board schematic. Etc etc etc.)

When I was working with them, I had the impression there were maybe three people who spoke English at the company, and they spent most of their time writing product pages. Email support was hopeless, and their forums were the usual mess.

DFRobot products are best thought of as a convenient way to get a sensor or microprocessor without having to design and reflow your PCB. If you don't like reading manufacturer datasheets, then you won't like DFRobot. They're not legos, and they're far from the kind of integrated product family you'd expect from a US company.

The unihiker.com webpage has a California startup website aesthetic, so you might expect a small company built to support this one board, but DFRobot literally has dozens of SBCs just like this: https://www.dfrobot.com/category-184.html I would be surprised if they even have one person dedicated to this product. An easy guess is they're already moving on to the next board launch, with yet another small ARM chip from another vendor.

It feels like it's more core to Google's search business than the projects normally shut down by Google. Maybe not quite on par with YouTube, but it could be close.
Google's concern here is not the output of generative AI (though that's certainly an open legal question) but the input. Coding assistance requires the transmission of context, such as internal source code around an edit, to the AI model. That third-party service may record such prompts and use them as examples to train the next generation of the model.
Either I switch to the new interface and be grumpy about it for a few weeks until I get used to it, or I stop going on Reddit and spend less time mindlessly consuming content? Or maybe I spend more time on TikTok/Instagram short form video? I’m not really worried about the bad spez taking away my reddits.
Entirely this.

"Networking" has been indispensable in every aspect of my career. I hate the term "networking", though, because it implies it's some kind of special activity. It's not. It just means maintaining professional relationships. You "network" every day when you're working with your teammates, for instance.

Networking events are, in my experience, a pointless waste of time.
This is pretty much like people who say that we could just get rid of the police because all they do is harass everyone all day anyway.

Users in a well behaved system never notice the fantastic amount of work that goes into keeping the system well behaved. If you do your job right as few people as possible know you exist. It's the dilemma of the maintainer: extremely vital component of the system who everyone thinks does nothing in the best case and enraged at when something breaks in the worst case.
Thank you for the suggestion I'll update my code to use after instead!
All these alternatives people suggest are a full stack and have the same problems. 1. the network effect, 2. that users expect the client experience to be as complete as that they currently have.

What I want is a drop in compatible replacement backend. That would mean the existing clients could be supported with a base url change, and some disabling of functionality until it's supported. Bring across those 10 million users on the 3PAs. Pay for it by serving topic targeted ads over the api.
What would you have the world do? Tens of thousands of Americans died trying to prevent it in the Korean War. Even if North Korea didn't have nuclear capabilities, it's asking for Iraq 2.0 (dictatorship threatening others, populace under severe oppression)
Do you think writing backend with Python feels wrong?
Because I think like that.

I tried Django, Flask, FastAPI till now, maybe there is other frameworks that is good enough, but I only had experience with "production-ready" frameworks.

And it feels... wrong? I don't know why, but it feels like something is wrong.

In Django, I barely ever feel like coding. It was just writing config files, like I didn't feel like I was coding.

Same in Flask and FastAPI. Development is so quick that I literally don't feel like coding. I mainly worked with GoLang till now, reinvented so many wheels, ventured into so many libraries, it felt "fuck yeah I am codin we are ballin".

Python seems... too easy? You barely ever reinvent wheels, you have something in your head? Some freak made it a feature of FastAPI. "hey caner, can we do th....", yes you fucking can I don't even need to hear your question because a dude created a feature you wanted in Starlette. It is madness.

Another example, you need to write lines of lines comments and markdown files for Swagger documentation in GoLang, FastAPI does that for you.

Validators? Pydantic holds your hand.

Yes, I am literally bickering about writing less code feels so wrong.

But am I the only one?

edit: I don't say fuck python and it's frameworks, I have tons of fun with it. and it pays the bills right now, so.... just a discuss and steam off post.
Ironically, I already predicted that the EC would likely bend over and accept MS's ridiculous proposal, but we would never know since the CMA rejecting it first would leave the EC in a untenable position. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35772912

I guess it is not as untenable as I thought, and the EC believes it can just throw shit towards the CMA until they get away with it. I also have my confirmation on whether the EC would be stupid enough to accept the deal.

Anyway, you cannot disagree with the fact that MS still _tried_ to stifle Linux, which is the point (and the part that I'm quoting). And arguably both as server and as a desktop OS.
>Unless you're running ads and using traffic from Reddit to fuel your business, you're not getting any value out of it.

Yea that's really subjective and blanket statements are silly.

Yeah I think that's something a lot of people miss because they never create accounts or only sub to the defaults. If you are in the subs with a million people then yeah they are typically pretty bad. But when you get into small niche hobby subreddits they are usually pretty great, with people who are there because they love the hobby and want others to enjoy it. As well with good advice for beginners.
And what a lot of the alternatives are missing is those people. It's what makes it thrive or wither on the vine.
