Yeah I think their real intention is to kill off third party Reddit apps so people are forced to use their own app, with all its tracking and garbage.

Reddit on mobile browser is a case study of insane dark patterns

Click to sort comments while not logged in? A popup appears asking to log in, with no close button. You have to click out of the box, but that’s not easily apparent

View an 18+ subreddit? Let them browse for 30 seconds, then ask they log in

Visit the site? Ask to login or use their app.

At this point, I’m more motivated to do anything but use their app if they’re this hellbent on getting me to download it.
I think the bottom line is that Microsoft’s (and thus other for-profit AI initiatives) stance is that any and all data is fair game regardless of license or authorization. This results, in their opinion, from the fact that the AI alters the data, changes the output, and is otherwise “inspired” by the data in the same way an artist might be inspired by another without copyright infringement.
It's sounds like was on an obsure-ish sub as well so management may have automated the process. Looks like they may have gone full Elon in their quest for the billionaire bucks.
I wonder how much longer until people start creating new communities to offset the blocked ones.
Nice to see an alternative to FlexLM. That package was the bane of my existence when we had a bazillion RS/6000s running AIX. And when I worked at Borland, I campaigned (unsuccessfully) against its use.
Sorry I wasn't specific enough. I meant Texas's private, less regulated grid and the issues stemming from that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Texas_power_crisis#%3A%7E...

It's just funny that in the same country, two states suffer similar electrical outcomes despite polar opposite politics. Californians went all in on solar and their heavy regulated utility couldn't keep up, causing rolling blackouts and bankruptcies. Texas took a no shits given approach to their electric market and that backfired too, skyrocketing prices and killing hundreds.

I wonder how other countries deal with their grid upgrades. Judging by the GP's points, maybe not very well either?
I was waiting on a response to:

But yeah. It's just dumb I guess.
It’s generally a good idea to look into events a tad more than just reading a headline before running around posting about them.

This is especially true when the headline seems to confirm one’s beliefs about something. In fact, most of the USA’s problems if not the worlds are in a big part due to people having that level of engagement.
I find the editorialization of my title hilarious. I did not put a ? at the end. The answer to any headline with a ? at the end is “no.” Whoever at HN edited it — this is not alright. Feel free to argue against the piece on its merits.
I have found that my MicroPC fails on some newer kernels: when GDM starts up, the machine locks up and the LCD goes wonky. I'm not particularly looking forward to the bisect, but at least it won't take 292,612 reboots.
I trust my sources (mainly, a city planner that's been working here for 30 years). Certain engineering specialists out here sometimes make absolutely absurd amounts of money because they work on contracts with such limited scope, the equivalent of 600k or more a year.

Also, I think the notion of having to balance pedestrians' interests with drivers' is a cultural thing that filters down from the MUTCD and into traffic engineering. Drivers create almost all the risk associated with our road system yet their interests are prioritized highly. Traffic engineers are bound to this deadly model that prioritizes drivers, because road construction projects are not given government funds (which they often completely rely on) unless they conform to MUTCD.
It's not the most useful outcome for the end user, but it's the perfect outcome from the perspective of the learning algorithm. All these things care about is minimizing their loss function, where loss is deviation from the training set.
That's really only an issue for technical topics. Stack Overflow would obviously be a much better source of quality training data for the kind of questions you presented.

But for most things outside of that Reddit is by far the best online source that actually represents answers you would get from real people. Questions like what is the nightlife like in x city don't have a single true answer and thrive due to Reddit's the diversity of thought.
This is a little scary to see as someone who is trying to switch industries and get into a product owner / manager position.

My background is very technical, but it's in the traditional IT industry and I doubt anyone would trust me to start writing code even though that's what I've been doing for the past 2 years. So I figured with my project management experience I can jump more easily to product management.

From my perspective it does seem like there are still a lot of roles open for product people, so I can understand why it seems like a lot of people are trying to jump.
It is interesting that you include "stock market" in your list. Can you pick a period where the stock market went up (or down) for an extended period that was not "asset inflation (or deflation)"? To be clear, yes, financing rates will always impact financial assets (stocks, bonds, traded commodities) in the short term, but not over a ten year period. You need real earnings growth in the underlying stocks to see sustained stock market growth.

Crypto is gambling to me, so let's ignore that for my post.

Housing is mostly about debt financing (the same is true for commercial real estate). It is always true that financing rates have a large impact on valuations. People mostly buy homes on the monthly payment (cars too). If rates rise, they monthly payments rise. Most people will elect to buy a cheaper home, or wait for prices to fall.
The problem with your perspective is you are assuming children have independent wants and needs to work and can stand up for themselves like adult workers can. This just isn't the case.

Children don't personally decide to work, they are told to by parents / authority / etc.. and they are incredibly vulnerable as employees. Comparing child labour to lemonade stands is ridiculous. There are rules about children working in the family store etc.. and child labour laws explicitly account for this. Child labour laws are explicitly about preventing abusive conditions in factories, fields, and other hard, grueling jobs.
>A worker needing a guarantee of x number of years of payment had every right to demand it be written into the contract.

To be frank: if you're at that level of negotiation in your contracting, you are either a business owner yourself, or are some of the best of the industry who probably isn't financially worried about a downturn. The latter doesn't have any benefit from chaining themselves to a company. I don't even think contracted workers are safe since many contracts were broken over this.

For the other 99.99% of hourly/salary workers in the US, trying to negotiate specific terms in an at-will state will only end with you being crossed off the hire list.

>They didn't have to leave their jobs flipping burgers.

Sure they did. They were laid off from there too:

https://nypost.com/2023/04/07/mcdonalds-lays-off-hundreds-cu...

I know you were being coy, but every sector of almost every industry is doing this. There is no safe place except for already being rich and not having to worry about years of salary.

Maybe you're not from the US, but it seems you don't understand how US employment works. I'll reiterate: the US is almost all "at will states". It gives freedom in that at any time an employee can walk away (well, almost any time. Funny how that works), but employers can also fire you for any reason unrelated to being a protected class (minority, pregnant, gay, etc.). There is never any safety net guaranteed in the US.

I see, so it's kinda halfway between a standard Pi and an arduino then? You can code on it, but it can't run an OS or anything?

That still seems suuuuper useful. I'm going to have to give that a look, thanks for the info!

I've been running GNU Guix, which uses Linux-Libre--i.e., no blobs-- on my Dell XPS-13 and Lenovo x270. The only change I needed to make to buy my freedom was install an atheros wifi card (yeah, proprietary bios sucks, buy puri.sm).

The Rails initialization process is commonly called "booting", probably owing to the presence of the config/boot.rb file. It's the loading and execution of code necessary before a request can be processed. Beyond the code that Rails executes, it generally includes the loading of most, if not all, of your application's dependencies and any initialization they may require.

In my experience, the Rails boot stage accounts for most of the compatibility work. If you can't boot the app, you won't be able to serve requests and likely can't run tests. E.g., it was at this step that we learned we needed to support more of the native extension API to get memcached running (†). Once booting we did run into some other compatibility issues, but the lion's share came up during the Rails boot process.

† - As an aside, the memcached gem hasn't seen a release since 2014. Its C code attempts to detect the Ruby version and alter how it sets things up. It predates the availability of TruffleRuby so there isn't any TruffleRuby-specific detection logic in it. Our extension compatibility made it look like we supported CRuby's internal object model and that was causing the extension to try to allocate objects in a CRuby-specific way. A small change to a macro fixed the problem and the rest of the gem ran fine. It's one of those things that we can't fix until we see, but once we do we can fix it permanently.

> But this isn't that useful if you still have to import some giant framework as a dependency

I agree. And I don't believe that you have to import a giant framework either. Web components today, especially with a bit of extra convenience that comes, for example, from Lit, are now where React was around 2015, before all the big frameworks came about, and before React changed its api from the one based on component's life cycle to the one based on data dependencies.

same here, i feel i am at a loss for options. gandi was always very community friendly, and the ability to allow anyone to pay to renew a domain is a very useful feature especially for communities. we even had gandi people show up at our linux user group meetings when they were in town for other business, and they didn't come to sell stuff, but to hang out and have a good time.
Wow, that's a super cool use case! I'm super interested in "smart-ifying" things by being able to measure them/read state remotely as opposed to controlling them. This sounds like it might be really useful for that!

I think it's very clear that you cannot literally copy and paste portions of the GPL code. No one was suggesting otherwise. I wrote:

> Of course, you cannot directly copy GPL code and call it MIT.

I also wrote:

> And you arguably cannot have GPL code open in one window and write your version in a separate window.

Alluding to the idea that something less literal than copying and pasting might still be too much like copying.

Your comment reads like you are disagreeing with me, but I think it's mostly just not responsive to mine.

Dietary flavanols restore hippocampal-dependent memory in older adults
>Just like there are specific constituents of our diets that are vital for the developing brain, other dietary constituents might be important for the aging brain. This study, a culmination of 15 y of research from mice to humans, provides biomarker-based evidence that dietary consumption of flavanols, a food constituent found in certain fruits and vegetables, can be etiologically linked to age-related memory decline.
Data is the only moat in the AI age. The problem for businesses is that the output of models can be used to train other models, so even a massive data moat will eventually be eroded.

Eventually all B2C AI companies will be just slick interfaces over open models that are too large to run on commodity hardware. B2B AI is in a bit better shape, both because compiling niche business data sets can be expensive, and there won't be giant public data sets produced from their output.

I make my own mostly because I enjoy making my own food. But it's also a lot cheaper and a bit easier on the environment. A 32 oz glass jar of White Mountain yogurt is almost $10 whereas a gallon of Whole Foods milk is $7.00. So $7 vs $40, and four fewer glass jars each batch.

Since I start by cloning White Mountain, my yogurt is basically identical and the taste is the same.
Don't let all the physiology distract you from the HN-relevant information theory(?) in the `Consciousness and Integrated Information` section near the end:

A recent theory suggests a principled reason: information and integration may be the very essence of consciousness. Classically, information is the reduction of uncertainty among alternatives: when a coin falls on one of its two sides, it provides 1 bit of information, whereas a die falling on one of six faces provides ~2.6 bits. But then having any conscious experience, even one of pure darkness, must be extraordinarily informative, since we could have had countless other experiences instead (think of all the frames of every possible movie). Having any experience is like throwing a die with a trillion faces and identifying which number came up. On the other hand, every experience is an integrated whole that cannot be subdivided into independent components.

Less metaphorically, the theory claims that the level of consciousness of a physical system is related to the repertoire of different states (information) that can be discriminated by the system as a whole (integration). A measure of integrated information, called phi (Φ), can be used to quantify the information generated when a system enters one particular state of its repertoire, above and beyond the information generated independently by its parts. In practice, Φ can only be measured rigorously for small, simulated systems. However, empirical measures could be devised to evaluate integrated information on the basis of EEG data, resting functional connectivity, or TMS-evoked responses.

We don’t. Studies like this are specifically searching for mechanisms by which serotonin and mood are related.

Interesting to compare with how the UK army approaches training. Simplifying somewhat, it has dedicated schools that do trade-training for specific categories of soldiers (e.g. infantry, armour, artillery, etc). Soldiers go to these after basic training (how to be a generic soldier) when they have chosen their military specialisation. They then return as they go through career progression to do trade-specific professional development (e.g. going from tank driver, to gunner, to commander, etc).

Crucially, as soldiers (non-commissioned) go up through their rank structure (corporal, sergeant, etc) they can take instructor courses back at the schools that qualify them to do on-the-job training back in their parent units (and which increase their pay). The best of these instructors may be invited to undergo additional training that qualifies them to become an instructor at one of the schools. So some responsibility for training is fundamentally baked in to career development.

I think distributed computing will go away soon. As computers become more powerful, the cost of "distributing" and transferring the data would be more than simply executing everything locally. Yes, you can still split the task amongst different nodes, or give different problems to different nodes, but the use-case would mostly be solving distinct problems on each note, that splitting the same task across multiple computers.

Also, with quantum computers, the parallelization/"distribution" of tasks will be done within the same machine, as it can try all solutions and the same time without having to do divide-et-impera algorithms.

Also, in the future, the algorithms will be a lot simpler, and just have FPGA-s like AI chips, where there is no software, the model is directly modelled in the hardware, so each computation is instant (just the time it takes to propagate the electrons or light through the circuit).
> I genuinely don't understand the appeal of AI for search. The provenance of information is just as important as the resulting information for pretty much anything I search for.

Search requires work on the part of the user to distinguish between good links and bad. AI is an oracle just tells you what you're looking for.

Now you and I might think this is a terrible way to evaluate the veracity of information. But think about the new generation of mobile-native users who were raised on simplistic discourse in tweet-length messages, and would rather watch a 1-min video on a topic than scan search results for 30 seconds.

For this group, searching for information where more than 2 clicks is required is going to be a "too complicated", anda "bad user experience".
I wish the would modernize the Dock.

If you’re worried about this case, you could create one listener per channel or use a PartitionSupervisor to start more handlers and spread out the work.

Why not insert into an events table instead of pg_notify? That way the events are recorded within the database itself, can be processed by any component, the state of processing can be saved in the table so even if the component dies, it can resume (and can even fan out the actual processing to workers). Further, you have the record of all events alongwith the flexibility of interacting with the event information with SQL and with partitioning, you can have a clean way to manage performance + ability to easily archive past/processed events.
