skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
I thought it would be a good exercise to see what was out there (give other sites a chance), so I started following suggestions others have made. This is the list I currently have compiled.

https://lemmy.ml/ (https://join-lemmy.org/) : ideal reddit replacement

https://www.tiktok.com/ : from a purely entertainment value. This is number one. I was on TikTok last year and it was basically the only entertainment site I visited. I actually did not visit reddit last year - it felt like day old news since so much (entertainment) content was coming from TikTok.

https://mastodon.social/ : I need to get use to Voices/People first over actual story. Reddit (HN) was always article/story first. Probably why I never did Twitter.

https://kbin.social/ : good reddit replacement.

https://flingup.com/ : I quite like this one as a reddit replacement.

https://www.instagram.com/ : created my first acct here. Not sure what to expect. Seems boring and fake.

https://tildes.net/ : invite required: requested one - still waiting... Really quite nice: feels as if reddit and HN merged into one.

https://www.4chan.org/ : actually surprised that normal categories exist. I always thought it was just one giant cesspool.

https://9gag.com/ : lots of ads, tracking but captures the meme-aspect of reddit.

RSS Feeds continues to be my personally best (and tailored) solution.

---------

https://www.quora.com/ : did not like.

https://hive.blog/ : looks nice but do not like the crypto/payment aspect of it.

https://imgur.com/ : Will not let me browse while using a VPN. Bah! Fail.

https://non.io/ : pay to interact. I think many (like me) don't post enough to justify paying - when other sites deliver so much more.

---------

I may start looking at BBSes again. Excited at the thought of this.

I have been on IMDB for a couple of years. Writing reviews, creating lists, taking polls. Just saying there's a ton of stuff out there if you're looking to fill downtime and have fun. IMDB has been great fun for me.

https://the-federation.info/ : good place to find Fediverse sites.

---------

New ones I came across just now (for review):

https://rdrama.net/ (seems wild at first glance)

https://raddle.me/

https://sqwok.im/

---------

Many of us (especially me) stopped looking for a while. We find one thing and stick with it. Reddit serves as a reminder that there are 'plenty of other fish in the sea'. Let's go fishing...
The thing is, there aren't a lot of French-speaking ML experts on the market.

So they'll have to pay a premium for them.

Google Bard isn't the best when it comes to writing code in my experience. Try GPT, you should get very different results.
Greed and profit? You can't honestly believe these were the motivation behind this decision, can you? That is honestly your most generous take?
It certainly looks like it if you check their discussion board.
But they do have to make a profit or they will cease to exist. Money is not some fictional number.
I wouldn't mind having one
There's a reason people are missing the mark here; the "community" feature is not what gives Reddit its crazy high value for the vast majority of its users.

The ceiling is a lot lower for a community engine than it is for a link aggregator. Google News vs. Google+.
I definitely see how this statement is provocative when overwhelming scientific consensus underlines a very low variance in human population that is NOT explained by variance in traces of non-homo sapiens DNA.
Cheers!

One of the key design decisions was to bake in different methods for monetization within each community so that the community admins/mods can get paid. We take a minority cut of each transaction to help fund the platform.

Each community has the ability to offer tiered monthly membership plans and can optionally gate individual pieces of content, or the entire community behind the memberships (the content gating part is a work in progress). We are also adding the ability for users to pay to bump posts and buy comment awards which the revenue is shared with the community owner. Basically we are looking at adding ways for the communities to make money in ways that don't come at the detriment to the community itself.

We are also exploring offering a platform wide subscription fee that would give users some additional benefits as well however we haven't fully fleshed this out yet.
That's literally what Reddit does now and it's not enough
The fragility of web pages is a good argument for generating query responses directly (e.g. via LLM) vs. returning links to pages.
Why don't the core Reddit communities spin up a foundation so you all have a bit more continuity and control over your tech? Then bolt on whatever tech you want.
It was for me. SA was basically my sole "social media" before Reddit came along. In hindsight, it was probably a much healthier alternative and I kind of wish I'd just stuck with it!
They'll have to catch me first.
Interesting read (from HN today) about crawling a quarter billion webpages in 40 hours, for $580, over 10 years ago.
You mean maybe like a shipping container sized reactor that is simply stacked (and replaced / defueled for maintenance)?

Like one that can have its liquid fuel removed by just piping?

That's very development was done using a closet-sized reactor that could be easily powered up and powered down so it CAN scale with demand?

Whose design is inherently meltdown-proof?

Which uses almost all its fuel so there's no nuclear waste to transport?

That can breed its fuel from Thorium?

The time to invest in this was 20 years ago. Certainly the viability of nuclear missed the boat 10 years ago.

Nuclear will have to wait for solar/wind/battery and other grid levelling alternatives (home solar + storage, EVs-as-grid-batteries) to mature and develop before they have a stable economic target.

Then nuclear needs to figure out how to make that target. I think it is a LFTR, but who knows. I don't think solid fuel rods are the way. Too much waste, too much danger inherent to the fuel packaging.

And seriously, "the institute for progress"? The nuclear industry is so out of touch their marketing and lobbying is 30 years out of date.
It's not that they can't counter it, it's that there's less and less to find...
I really hope that once people start seeing more AI generated images they get the urge to move back to natural photography. Maybe this will even inspire people to go retro and consider film. When I look at older photos taken with a camera and film I think about all the work it took to get that shot. The travel, the gear, the waiting for the right light. Brings a smile to my face.
There are no large differences between human populations though: that is the provocative part of the statement.
I wonder if LLMs can serve as an adaptive filter against SEO to keep up with the arms race?
Nice to see sprae on there it's handy when you want reactivity with minimal fuss.

I would lobby for featuring Webreflection's uhtml it is a workhorse for me personally.
That’s where statecharts can help.
It's not even "all modern scripts", it's just "all scripts":

What moderation tools is Lemmy missing for an invasion of that sort to be so easy?
I don't want to look for data and join things. I don't have to do that on reddit. Overall I would say even with blackouts, reddit is still more interesting.
It sounds like you're at least privileged in the sense that you have the apparent option. For a lot of people it's a serious deal to pursue alternate employment, especially if the conditions they are seeking to avoid are a common practice in the industry.
No I disagree, because this simply wasn't the case a few years ago. Back then I could just search something, and Google would give me results, and that was it. It wasn't too long ago when googling was a proper skill to be learned and it felt like that could get you anywhere on the web. Google was exceptional once.

Now Google won't even acknowledge "" anymore, and having to hold its hand and guide it towards a single website which I already need to be aware of, is pretty pathetic compared to what Google was once able to do. Also the fact that it gives back so much spam and even puts it at the top of results.

> Google's general purpose search engine is still better than any of the specific search engines of these individual sites

This is only partially true. Google's search engine is definitely better than Reddit, but that is really not hard (I need to emphasize this, as reddit's search is really bad, unless it is old.reddit, then it is at least somewhat OK), but for many other sites the reason to pick Google is just convenience.

> Perhaps the issue isn't that Google is bad, and the issue is that search is incredibly hard.

I think the issue is more Google deliberately allowing and pushing all that spam, because users that find what they seek will spend less time on the site. Otherwise I find it hard to explain this drastic drop in quality. Would also explain why they are taking away all the useful search and query tools.

Or the people responsible for working on it just don't have the skill anymore, who knows.
I was an early Bard user. Bard allowed me to browse internal google code repositories. I was able to view all of the YouTube code. With the recently announced battle against inviticus, it is very relevant.

There is a reason private repos are private

Bonus: the code was pretty tough to understand alone, but with public api documentation it gave a lot of insight to how google works. Sure I wasn’t going to find a buffer overflow or a way into their network at quick glance, but enough time and I can siphon ideas, data, or full chunks of code to do what I want with.

I reported the vulnerability through a colleague and they have since patched it.
Java’s strength IMO is that the JVM is pretty reliable and performant even under heavy loads, and can be predictably tuned and optimised where that’s needed. That’s pretty compelling along with an OK language that works well at scale (lots of developers).
Yes, at max 20%. Yet, the majority of jurisdictions keep taxing income at a much higher rate. As a general rule people working on income are still making their way up the economic ladder while people on capital gain, especially exclusively or in majority, are not.
Same — I just asked ChatGPT to generate Go code to do cosine similarity and I was surprised when the code it generated worked and the worst performance I get is like 10ms
A bit of A, a bit of B. More and more of the interesting information is never put on a permanent, accessible website.
I'm not sure what part specifically you take issue with, but this provides some relevant citations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interbreeding_between_archaic_...
Yeah. Totally worth it.

I would run it bog standard. Use the nozzle it ships with, or add a simple brass one and assemble it with care.

Once you have it working, it will probably work a long time.

I have a CR-10 machine mostly running PLA, HIPS and PETG. I never change anything.

The secret is warm up hot end, push filament through by hand, until flow is straight and clean. Then print.

On material change, I do it hot. Pull one, insert the other, push by hand until flow is good.
Can I run an anycast DNS server on this?
Maybe I am missing something about IPOs here, but if Reddit’s valuation is way off because it was before the correction, wouldn’t it be easy to argue your low ball offer is the real value?

Even if they IPO, wouldn’t the stock immediately crash if it’s overvalued?
I've made several lifelong friends on Reddit from a small subreddit for a sports team. Sure there's a lot of bad with Reddit but there's also good in there if you try to look for it.

Which you could say about nearly anything in life.
That's a strike, fine. What about closing the library with all books inside and only allowing their friends in, like in my example? What about burning down the library?
I've been to the border and spoken with Chinese who live there, the stories of death and poverty are horrific. I find it appalling that Switzerland knowingly welcomes the leaders children to educate themselves there and live luxuriously, as they do for many other regimes.
I’ve had zero gmail misclassifications in the last 2 months.
As everyone else said, use it. Don't try to understand by reading. Understand by doing.
What do they mean by 'Open' if it's a service?
There is a major distinction between root store policy and CT policy which you are missing.

Root store policy contains requirements which are enforced by audits, and if a CA violates the root store policy it is considered misissuance requiring them to revoke the offending certificates and file an incident report. Neither Chrome nor Apple root store policies require CT.

CT policy describes what CAs must do for their certificates to be accepted by the certificate validation code. CT policy is enforced entirely by code. It is not an incident if a CA doesn't comply with CT policy; it just means their certificates won't be accepted.
That's a clever way of having your cake and eating it too -- use tired old tropes but have the characters comment that they know they're tired old tropes.
It’s fascinating how often major incidents like this go:

change in production → unforeseen consequence → alerts go off → issue is found → fix is applied → things seem to stabilize (this all takes 15 minutes) → different issues pop up, caused by the quick fix → prolonged work needed to definitively bring stability (this usually takes anywhere from an hour to much longer)

Perhaps the lesson learned is: unless you’re 100% sure, maybe consciously consider your “quick fix” for 10 minutes to really think through its consequences.
It's not bad because they can't build a decent search engine. Building a decent search engine is a solved problem, which they solved.

It's bad because their incentives aren't aligned with their users. The shit results they are giving aren't because they can't give good ones, they are because they don't want to.
You imply that it's a significant percentage though, which is highly debatable.
I don't get a ton either which is odd because I OFTEN add "reddit" onto my search and get way better results for what I'm looking for.

Kinda odd how Google search hasn't learned yet that Reddit results are higher quality, at least for me? Almost like it's not optimizing for quality of results...

It's almost like Google's optimizing for revenue on results has created the Reddit situation. Can't find better results without filtering for Reddit explicitly, so people end up on Reddit and end up posting on Reddit and around and around it goes.
Tesla is the 7th largest company in the world by market cap -- they are an objectively enormous company making these purchases and deserve this scrutiny.

Glencore is 1/10th the size, so it's fair to suggest that action by Tesla would influence Glencore to clean up its act.
If all you care about is the philosophy, then you're going to fail. Most people only care about the end product, the end experience. And unfortunately you still need those people (to some extent) since these sorts of things require some kind of critical mass to be successful.
Countries like NK view foreign aid with skepticism over possible espionage, unfortunately.
Maybe that is just him negociating a last minute exit door to Russia Carlos Ghosn style in case nz justice system is about to extradite him
It doesn't exist yet. The best way the solve the platform overreach problem is replicating the podcast model, and transitioning from those platforms to two utilities:

(1) Content hosting
(2) Content browsing

This way, the /r/BikeShedding community can buy a domain, say, BikeShedding.gg, and connect it to a content hosting platform that delivers a standard API + web UI. This is (1).

Users will have an app, let's call it FrontPage, in which they can put it a domain to subscribe to, or pick from a list, exactly like we can use podcasts app today to either add a manual RSS feed or choose from the library of feeds an app offers.

Podcasts are the pinnacle of decentralization yet I haven't heard once the word "federation" or had to choose an "instance".

If someone wants to talk about this more, email to anything at weedon and scott [dot] com. I did apply to YC with this, but it got rejected -- maybe the time is ripe.

Edit: Important to note that this works for all platform overreach cases -- Avoiding YouTube censorship, exiting Twitter's echo chamber, and yes, for Reddit as well.

The problem with federated platforms like mastodon is that they are still platforms, and platforms suck. You replace horses with cars, not with slightly better horses.
Size can be up to ~140MB of vectors, so not exactly enormous. But it's nowhere near enough to stress a single node running a for loop on the data and doing a dot product, then sorting by relevancy.
No major company can buy reddit because it's full of porn and a lot of the user base is there for the porn and will riot if it goes.
As a concrete example, I run a used retro games business.

Proper technical manuals don't exist for the repair work that I need to do; finding the solution to a problem I can't work out myself is a mix of YouTube, Reddit and a looooot of filtering out bullshit.
If it's on Azure anyway I don't see the big deal, especially if you are an enterprise and so buying it via azure instead of directly.
You can definitely resharpen bronze. The castings are not perfectly sharp, the edges are further worked (and can be hammered and work hardened). I don't think you can redo work hardening indefinitely but you can a bit and can scrape and grind and hone repeatedly. There are (or were last I looked) some people supplying cast blanks these days for re-enactors to try sharpening up. Always wanted to try that one day.
> Before UML, there were many methodologies.

UML really wasn't a methodology. It was a "visual modeling language" telling you how you should draw a picture of a code construct.

It didn't give much (if any?) advise on which development tasks you should do in which order. It was just a TOOL that could be used as part of your SW development activities.

I'm not sure how people used it. Did they first draw the picture and then code, or vice versa? Or maybe drawing the pictures was optional? A "Software Development Method" should answer such questions, among others.

A note about words: "Methodology" means something like "study of methods". A more proper word for individual documented or prescribed approaches to how to develop software would be simply "method". A "method" tells you how to do something.
Dokku [deploys to Kubernetes](https://dokku.com/docs/deployment/schedulers/kubernetes/) with an officially maintained plugin and we have a few folks actively using it.
You're not wrong, there isn't one
if it had a product, it would'n't be seed funding
People keep saying this, do you have any proof?
When you say "one of the most" key word here being most, yes, you are 100% inviting comparison. I'm not interested in the discussion itself but you were definitely inviting comparison.
There are so many website builders out there, I'm surprised someone made yet another one. This basically looks like webflow.
I remember that too and I wish it could stay that way. But today when someone not familiar with technology mentions "crypto", it unfortunately means "cryptocurrencies". And those are only useful for fraud.
I had the same thought but with OpenAI being the buyer. I think Gruber was right that a lot of the motivation for the recent Reddit API changes are OpenAI (and other AI startups) using Reddit data and becoming ultra-valuable: https://daringfireball.net/linked/2023/06/09/reddit-ipo

That data was helpful, but if Reddit is blacked-out, or people move to more walled-off forums it makes future iterations of ChatGPT and the like more difficult to train on recent developments. Why not have OpenAI run Reddit as a way to get lots of moderated data into its models?
There's little evidence of ground stone tools until very recently [1], like tens of thousands of years ago. It wasn't until agriculture that the technology became widespread.

Knapping [2] - which has been around for over 3 million years at this point - is much more predictable and efficient than grinding while requiring less intuitive knowledge of the materials. Paleolithic people just didn't have the resources to experiment with enough materials to figure out hardness, grain size, etc. for proper grinding.

Unfortunately I believe the ones with the Reddit mannerisms and overused jokes are the ones that stayed as they are too addicted to leave.

The actual creators of content are different from the drones.
Yep. If you parallelize with goroutines it'll be faster, but we're talking about shaving a few ms. The effectiveness of a for loop crunching floats in a single thread is not to be underestimated.
It’s hard to find old things too that are still there, for queries that used to work just fine.
Given that overruling Lochner lead to states actually being able to enact minimum wage laws I think the trade-off was worth it.

To reference a separate issue currently trending on HN -- were we still living in the "freedom to contract" era, there would be no way that states could ban non-compete agreements. At base, the problem inherent in the "freedom to contract" ideal is that in many situations the parties to a contract are not equal in bargaining power, and perverse results happen as a result of ignoring that reality.
Kbin is planning on fixing the case-sensitive-ness: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/81

Kbin in general is super new software, there's a lot of nits that need fixing like this. It works surprisingly well considering how young it is.
Do you have a citation for the claim that most mods use third party apps?
No, LLMs are just being used to generate better blogspam now.
Euro / Asian auto companies exist now

All new electric car companies too
It's a complicated issue. Part of the problem is nobody really wants to fix it because the costs will be enormous. When and if the regime falls it's going to take tens of billions of dollars in aid to keep it from destabilizing South Korea. Not to mention the massive refugee crisis that will occur. I'm pretty sure that's one of the many reasons why China hasn't dealt with it. Because the vast majority of refugees would go north across their border.

China has made it clear they aren't particularly thrilled with the idea of having someone not under their thumb next to their border as well. As a consequence of that... the "best" scenario would probably be China invading. But "best" is definitely in scare quotes as that could go VERY wrong very very quickly. I think the PRC is aware of that too. So unfortunately that means the DPRK will starve, because the realpolitik is such that solving the issue is just not a tenable solution for all the other parties.
That sounds highly implausible. Bard would not be trained on internal Google code, nor would have access to it. Most likely it was hallucinating, based off of public APIs its seen. Did you ever get confirmation that that code actually existed?
I don't think anyone said give up.

Defining "the rich" would help. Arguably someone making their money on income is not "rich", they're still moving up the economic ladder. Someone making capital gains, especially exclusively or in majority, is definitely rich.

There's also wealth taxes. Currently a lot of places implement income taxes which actually slows down or halts economic fluidity.
It was definitely full page on desktop for me. Wayyyy way different from your typical cookie banner along the bottom.
