The bad look from Dotcom pushing Russian empire propaganda is dwarfed by the bad look from the authoritarian corporate copyright maximalism persecuting him in the first place. The Russian shilling is patently false and outright cringey, but going down such a rabbit hole is understandable when one is under direct attack from the US economic empire.
IIRC the Numerical Recipes book was a bit of a copyright Trojan Horse. (I don't know if that's really true, I just heard it mentioned somewhere.)

Presumably this book doesn't carry that risk.
Is this sarcastic or am I missing some point? More users == more money, and India is the biggest under-tapped single market in social media, if you consider it a "single market". I don't get why being popular in India would be a bad thing...
Kind of sounds like they're just open sourcing the development of a platform.. On the platform?

Like if Github had the source for github public on github? Sounds a bit weird though, as its not "open sourcing itself", what ever that would really be

The title is correct. But any of you changes or lessons are perfectly fine. (Sure, a bit awkward to do ssh from cafes).

Article & spec mention privacy issues re: connecting users to payments, that seemingly would allow someone to pay for an app subscription without going through the store, since the payment receiver gets user details
Indeed. I'd happily pay Reddit directly for an API key if that let me run RIF in a "bring your own key" mode. They could split the profits between themselves and app dev. I'm surprised no one is proposing this. But I guess this comes down to people willing and able to pay to avoid adtech cancer being actually the most profitable cohort for the advertisers...
Who pays the moderators of all the major subreddits?
AMD has an x86 license from Intel and Intel has a x86-64 license from AMD.

I see, so reddit being around for quite some time, people are just going with high interest treasury bills to put their money. Thanks
> Is it because reddit isn't profitable so relies on constant money supply from investors? Or is it something else

Roughly.. but more accurately even if they are profitable they are not profitable enough.

Its not just that Reddit (Twitter, Twitch[0], etc) needs the money, the investors likely also have loans that need to be repaid sooner-than-later (or just other places with better returns). As such there is a large push for higher short term profit, to get higher short term share price, to "diversify" some of their Reddit stock.

The reality is none of these people care about the long term of Reddit. They have effectively "pumped it", they now need a good way to quickly "dump it". I'm sure none of them have any explicit motivation to destroy Reddit's future cash flows in the process, but that long term health is definitely not their focus.

[0] Twitch as an Amazon subsidiary doesn't exactly fit this model. However, the execs within Amazon do have Profit targets to meet for their orgs. This directly reflects in their bonuses, size of orgs, etc. So likely a similar enough analog.

It's not a question of should or not. People just willingly give up privacy for convenience. For example merely using a phone (not to mention a smartphone with their location awareness capabilities, or a plain mobile phone with their multilateration, any one that works at all, even a landline if you use it at that very moment) is a breach of privacy. But you need it to function in a modern society. You can avoid such things by taking some extra steps but each of those steps takes progressively more effort and bites a huge chuck of the aforementioned convenience, not only for you but also for the other side of your social interaction.

The whole original topic is more about prevalent abuses of authority than privacy itself, though. And that's a different thing because protecting your privacy from authorized and/or dedicated actors is always quite difficult, if possible at all, even with a proper privacy "hygiene", and needs a totally different approach.
Discrimination is a bigger AI risk than human extinction – EU commissioner
Very much into both!

I'm at an extreme end on of the cycling hobby by hours spent on the bike and miles covered (mountain biking, road biking, racing) and currently ride a very modern, and very red Italian sport bike - just for pleasure on quiet roads, no commuting or errand running. From a maintenance perspective given my use patterns (~8,000 miles/year human powered, ~4,000 miles moto powered) I'm wrenching, fixing, replacing parts far more often on my bicycles. An absolute money pit, but one that gives me the best emotional and physical ROI. YMMV but my experience with modern motorcycles has been they are almost shockingly reliable given their power output, electrical and rider aid improvements, etc.

I've had vintage motorcycles that required more tinkering which is engaging in its own right but am thankful modern tech has gotten to a point where I'm not constantly doing maintenance on my entire two wheeled fleet. I get my joy from the use of the machine, rather than the upkeep. I'm eternally grateful to those who view things the other way. My preference is to wrench on bicycles though, mainly because of their relative simplicity and limited number of specialty tools required. With 2mm-8mm allen keys, and a small screw driver you can do most basics of maintenance. Not counting suspension service, bearing service, and the like.

Side note: Being deep into both worlds I feel that my bike (motorcycle) handling skills have vastly improved because of my mountain biking: Body positioning, threshold braking, leaning the bike independently of the body vs. leaning with the bike etc. Curious if anyone else here has had that same realization. I've tried converting some cycling team mates to the moto world... few takers but I believe there is true cross-training to be had there.
I wouldn't believe a word he speaks or writes. Following his twitter thread the past 10 years is really sad. Not sure if it's some sort of mental illness or if he does it on purpose but he seems to have developed some sort of hate for the United States.

The "major" subreddits you listed are ranked #74, #76, #77, #4020, #946, #165, #875, #2324, and #1584 by posts per day. The claim that they are "keeping reddit alive basically" is rather generous.

There is a major step change in maintenance difficulty from motorcycles to cars .

motorcycles are more exposed and intimate so it’s easier to detect issues earlier .

Modern cars have adopted
more non-user-serviceable tech.
Intermediate procedures like clutch replacement , brake maintenance , tune ups are accessible to beginners on a motorcycle .

in general motorcycle maintenance is more accessible due to the open drive train, smaller footprint and user-serviceable technology .

For those discouraged to put their life in their own hands – it’s much riskier to put your life into someone else’s . You can mitigate the risks with checklists and solid testing procedures . Trust me , you will develop safety and quality standards that are much more rigorous than a shop .

Sigh.

I was setting up an argument to show how impossible it was for either everyone to have children -- we need to be compassionate for the disabled and tolerant of those who make lifestyle choices -- or for only a fractional part of the population to bear the responsibility for having children in order to motivate the point that there is some value between ~5% and ~95% of people that opt out where their collective decisions have become parasitic even though they each have the individual right do make that decision.

I'm not sure why that's so hard to understand. It seems like a simple, straightforward application of statistics of groups. I'd love to learn why you keep choosing to interpret it as an attack on the individual.

EDIT:
> They either don't care insofar as procreation, or won't mind seeing humanity as a species go extinct.

The person I was responding to excluded extinction as a possibility that they considered valid. Obviously, if you individually want humanity to die off and want to consume its cultural outputs without contributing until you yourself die off, you're welcome to do so. Seems rather sad though.
Honestly for tasks it’s able to do easily ChatGPT code is probably more maintainable because it’s more well-commented, formatted etc. than code a human would write if they’re just trying to quickly hack something together

Sometimes I think “you can tell this part of my code was generated by ChatGPT because it’s actually good, unlike the rest of it”

Of course it’s likely to make subtle mistakes that are hard to debug if you ask it to do anything complicated because it can’t test its own code (well, I’ve heard something about a code interpreter in the Plus version but I don’t know how well that works)
Since I’m actually a top 5 programmer of all time (self decided) I can say with confidence that Carmack is actually a top 50 programmer but no where near the top 10. He didn’t use ternaries nearly enough.

Good luck enforcing those software parents though in the current environment. My sense is that hardware companies put more faith in the enforceability of patent claims to something like CUDA than software companies with experience with litigating patent claims to APIs would. Post Oracle v. Google, something like CUDA is vulnerable to being knocked off.

And FWIW, that seems to be a reasonable result given the overall market structure at the moment. Having all eggs in the Nvidia basket is great for Nvidia shareholders, but not for customers and probably not even for the health of the surrounding industry.
It’s not clear there’s anything “unique” about the set of users that both generate the content and will leave the site because of the API changes. From an investor standpoint, content is content and monetizeable users are monetizable users. Both are replaceable, and it’s better to have monetizable users that generate content than non-monentizeable users who generate content.

The Federal Reserve, the central bank of the United States, has been raising interest rates very aggressively for the past year and a half to fight inflation. This has ended a very long-lived policy of near-zero interest rates which has been in place since 2009, the Great Financial Crisis.

When you borrow money from the bank, i.e. to fund the operations of a money-losing site like Reddit, ultimately the interest rate you pay on that loan is affected by the interest rates set by the Federal Reserve.

While interest rates were near zero, investors in money-losing companies like Reddit could justify just borrowing more money to keep the companies going, as the money was cheap.

But now with higher interest rates, the investors in Reddit, and other money-losing ventures, can no longer afford to just borrow more money to make up for the money they lost last year, they actually have to show a return or at least cut the losses to a level that the investor will tolerate. That means monetizing everything they can.
I was never a regular, but I would concur with you here. It's practically the only notable subreddit I ever got banned from and it's hardly a controversial opinion. I felt like I never actually broke any rules.

I do car maintenance rather than motorcycle maintenance, but same opinion: bicycle maintenance is tedious. So tedious that beside chain greasing and tires pressure, I pay someone rather than DIY. I hate adjusting breaks or gears with a passion.

On the other hand, cars (and I assume motorcycle as well) maintenance is enjoyable: there is no fiddling with stuff, you fit it, torque it and it's good.
And the other 50% are poor.

If you want everyone to drive an electric car, then you need to make it the value buy when it comes time to replace their current car.

People are keep cars longer, might be time for another cash for clunkers program with an extra incentive to replace it with a electric.
But until interest rate go down and car price level off, people are not rushing to get cars.

> I think Carmack very easily has a place amongst the pantheon of programming gods, whether you measure by 'brilliance' (whatever that means) or impact.

I guess? I don't know. There are so many programmers that have had a much greater overall impact and such than Carmack has (which in no way takes away from Carmack's accomplishments!) that I find it hard to say either way.

That's part of why I think trying to rank people is a bit strange. I doubt that there is even much consensus on what it takes to be a "programming god" in the first place.

But I do agree that Carmack is great!
Fwiw bronze does oxidise quite readily, but the copper oxide is not porous, and becomes a resilient copper carbonate.

Which is why bronze and other copper-alloy artefacts are extremely resilient, unless they come in contact with chlorides and get bronze disease.
>This is the fallacy that the majority of people suffer from: if I don't see it, it doesn't happen.

My reply will be brutish. I know it happens. I just don't want to see it. I don't want to watch mothers with toddlers be solicited for change in the checkout line at drug stores, or young couples be harassed outside a coffee shop. I hate that I can't eat a meal a terrace without some drugged out beggar trying to hustle me for change.

I don't care who or what does drugs. I don't care about the functional or dysfunctional drug users. It's mental gymnastics at this point. I just don't want to see them.

Whatever you do in the privacy of your own home that's fine. But that's not happening. We just can't have nice things.
It does, thanks for the reminder!
That's not a new trend, though. It's the bait-and-switch startup ecosystem has been built around for over a decade now.

There may, however, be some underlying trend that's the reason why so many social media companies are pulling the bait-and-switch right now, simultaneously.

This is the biggest source of friction for Lemmy and the Fediverse. Non-tech savvy folks will not make the shift if it is such a pain to find the communities you want to join.

The mod workload on fediverse is in addition to, and magnifies, the operational cost of running the servers. Put aside moderation then, I don't see how decentralized independent servers scale if "free", whereas centralized cos has VC and ad money to achieve this

> the other for the "confirm password"

That always pisses me off. I can copy/paste the password from the first field into the second. Hell, I use a password manager; I pasted into the first field, so I paste into the second.

It's just a check to make sure they match. But my passwords are complicated enough that I can't remember them long enough to type the characters in the first time; I literally have to copy/paste.

So this anti-pattern assumes that users are using some memorable password like their mother's maiden name, probably for all the services they use. Anyone using sane password practices is penalized with stupid friction.

[Edit] I have an even bigger gripe about asking me to enter my email address twice. If you really aen't sure I entered it correctly, send me an email asking me to confirm.

Hi everyone, we made an open source camera for developers. There are some models we already tested (face, parking spot recognition, animal detection,) but this is mostly a hardware project, so there are no custom AI models. Here is a GitHub links for the designs:

hardware: https://github.com/maxlab-io/tokay-lite-pcb
software: https://github.com/maxlab-io/tokay-lite-sdk
It doesn’t matter who’s at fault. They missed a chance to provide better service and lost a customer as a result.

Not running your tests locally to make sure stuff actually compiles/works before commiting to the repo and blowing up everyone else is a great way to piss off your QA group.

Please, make sure it runs locally first. CI often costs $$$, and when you nab a QA for debugging support, nothing irritates more than the answer "Well, no..." to the question "Did you even compile/run this?"
It's good practice to keep docs on your own machine... no need for it to be only available online.
People are starting to come to terms with the new reality where tech companies actually need to have a viable business model which takes in more money than it expends. The return of nonzero interest rates means that the runway is no longer infinite, you can't just raise more money to cover costs forever, eventually you have to either take off or crash. This is revealing just how much of a nonsensical anomaly most of the 2010s were for many internet companies. COVID provided a brief return to this period but it couldn't last. The idea that large companies can be run at an operating loss indefinitely is going to be dying a slow painful death over the next few years along with any companies which can't make the transition to actually earning money, and that is the way it should be.

I'm not sure about other subs, but we asked our users about continuing the blackout.
It wasn't just about waiting for better information, though. The restaurant infection in Washington, where the spread of the virus matched convection currents from the air conditioning, along with the super spreader events from singing, etc. should have immediately made them suspect aerosol transmission. There were numerous, obvious clues about it from the beginning, but it took until late 2020 for them to acknowledge - far after independent virologists had raised alarms.

The argument, as far as I can tell, was just that the effect of different kinds of masks on covid transmission hadn't yet been studied. Which means that data was a priority, sure, but recommending masks as an initial precaution against an extremely contagious novel respiratory virus just seems sensible.
Discord also is in the process of asking 200 million users (monthly active as of 2023) to change their username, previous ones they will inevitably lose due to the uniqueness requirement, something nobody seems to have ever asked and might be unheard of on this scale. There's a few other examples of platforms going against their users too. It definitely seems to be an industry-wide movement, perhaps racing to be ahead of the changing economic climate with very poorly though out, short sighted steps, possibly to maximize revenue. (on paper, as advertised by some management before being approved and put into motion, but some corpos might still get away with it)
