Known to whom? You might be a sophisticated consumer but go hang out at the DMV and ask yourself how many of your fellow countrymen would really question yelp reviews.
Reddit actually has added a couple of features since then (e.g. polls), but they just didn't update the API to deal with those, so the API still remained completely stable.
Nice article, but too much focus on federation as a potential solution.

The problem with federated networks ("Fediverse"?) like Mastodon and Matrix is that you still rely on a (sub)domain and someone running a server. That someone could be yourself, but that's just an option for a small minority. That domain could be shut down.

Nostr may solve this: instead of usernames the user has a private/public key. And instead of relying on a specific server your data can flow through many servers (relays).
You cannot work with a former colleague for an explicit duration in an economic capacity for a fixed period of time. This may or may not be dependent on the nature of the work being conscidered competitive (I have seen both). I have only seen these clauses referenced in deferred comp, not contractual non-competes.

Do you guys like or dislike Reddit?
There are two contradicting facts: you guys mention reddit often here, yet you guys seem smart. People who use image-boards other than 4chan usually do so because they dislike 4chan; I would infer: People who use news-aggregates other than reddit usually do so because they dislike reddit. I hate reddit (and therefor use HackerNews) and 4chan (and therefor use Lainchan and Lambdaplusjs).

You just hit the nail on the head. I scroll Reddit every day looking for that gold nugget post but most posts are just, like you say, poop
Quora content is so blatantly useless these days. I haven’t seen a single useful piece of information on that site in years.
IIRC Dan Luu had a post about this: sites do catch a lot of this but there's just so much out there that they can't catch it all, not without accidentally flagging genuine reviews and getting everyone mad at them.
My general impressions are so far mostly (probably in rough order of ubiquity):

1. They're not migrating.

2. KBin (also Lemmy because they're interoperable, although I'm seeing more communities I frequent popping up on KBin servers).

3. Squabbles

My sense is if there is some migration it will be fairly gradual, not overnight, and might go in some completely different direction over the next year. It probably depends on what people were getting out of Reddit too.
Nevertheless, law enforcement gets to do whatever the current governing regime permits, extrajudicially or otherwise.
Consider that police in the US have both handcuffs and guns while police in the UK just have the handcuffs.
Look at the effects, where so many in the US feel justified in their need to defend against extrajudicial force with guns (per 2A). Look also how many cops kill US citizens (suspect of a crime or not) compared to how many cops in the UK apparently don't feel such "fear for their life" which justifies the extrajudicial killings.

Online reviews have become one of the dankest cesspits of misinformation and deceit on the entire internet. Amazon's reviews are so thoroughly gamed as to be functionally useless and Amazon knows this and tacitly supports it through their inaction. Yelp and Google Places review are being gamed en-masse by bad actors and scammers and have become so distorted that by relying upon them you're now more likely have a bad experience than a good one. Review websites are stuffed full of advertorials and universally have such super shady advertising / sponsorship policies it's functionally impossible to know whether the review you're reading was paid for or not, and all the big tech sites are so dependent on advertising revenue, they almost never post critical review for fear of upsetting their advertisers. It's a unspoken rule in the industry these days that negative reviews are simply not published. Not to mention damn near every single product review video on YouTube, IG Reels, Tiktok, or wherever else now is either straight up sponsored content where the "Reviewer" is receiving monetary compensation for their so called "Review" or at minimum is receiving the product for free, which creates yet another perverse incentive, as anyone who posts a negative review will simply stop getting free products to review in the future.

There are literally dozens of 100+ person companies in China and India who's entire business model is faking online reviews.

The entire industry is broken, and the average consumer can't find literally a single source for unbiased, trust-worthy reviews of anything anymore, which I for one believe is the system working exactly as designed and intended. Never forget the rich will sacrifice literally anything that's generally considered to be part of the "Public good" if it means they'll get rich faster, which is exactly what's happening here.
I've been around for a while and don't know of a famous dropbox comment? Curious to hear it if someone can answer. Thanks
Why would you use Apple maps though?

I havent used since I missed a turn. Why not use google maps?

If you think that a book is the same as a car then it seems to me that you missed the point entirely. Have you ever written?
Type creep can be a serious concern for dynamic language ecosystems. The Javascript/Typescript schism is a tragic case in point. It appears that young developers are indoctrinated into the belief that strong types are an invincible hammer and can't see the drawbacks that lack of flexibility can introduce. Clojure began with defstruct, and Rich Hickey regrets its addition to the language now. While python certainly is a kitchen sink language, and the addition of structs on top is probably sustainable, but I am of the belief that such suggestions need more counter-arguments lest we lose another mainstream dynamic language to naive good intentions.
Funny but XMPP has hit it really big for law enforcement and military users. For instance the commander of a squad fills out a form about what engagements they had with the enemy every day and often they fill out a form that gets submitted to XMPP and is sent asynchronously up the chain of command.
If an employer needs someone’s particular keys something probably went wrong or there’s bad processes in place. But that aside I think the default course of action should be to aggressively guard your secrets and tokens since they represent you. Not as personal or private property but to keep someone (be it a fellow employee or a 3rd party attacker) from impersonating you without authorization.

There are exceptions but the circumstances where an employer would need to retrieve my keys without my assistance are extremely rare and in those instances it’s unlikely I’d still be an employee anyway.
It's not usually a deal breaker because of how common it is, but it does matter. You are going to be disadvantaged against someone who can start sooner. I fully support this legislation. Non-competes are anti-competitive, period.
I've been having flashbacks to troubleshooting some particularly thorny unreliable boot stuff several years ago. In the end tracked that one down to the fact that device order was changing somewhat randomly between commits (deterministically, though, so the same kernel from the same commit would always have devices return in the same order), and part of the early boot process was unwittingly dependent on particular network device ordering due to an annoying bug.
The kernel has never made any guarantees about device ordering, so the kernel was behaving just fine.

That one was.. fun. First time I've ever managed to identify dozens of commits widely dispersed within a large range, all seem to be the "cause" of the bug, while clearly having nothing to do with anything related to it, and having commits all around them be good :)
I spend 5 minutes today with some user CSS to reskin Lemmy to be more like Reddit with RES. Another half-hour of effort and at least the form-factor will be pretty similar.
That is up in the air and needs more testing. Field descriptions, for example, are important but extraneous input that would be tokenized and count in the costs.

At the least for ChatGPT, input token costs were cut by 25% so it evens out.
Nice, I really like that it describes the DWARF format instead of just handwaving around it. I've been considering adding DWARF support to my compiler so that I can use mainstream debuggers with it and this article has just destroyed my last excuse to procrastinate.

I must admit, the title got me very excited (it's still a cool article regardless) - something I've always wanted is a system-wide debugger for Linux. Something that can put breakpoints in arbitrary executables or shell scripts (via custom /bin/sh wrapper?) system wide, not just within a debugging session. I'd love to be able to put conditional breakpoints on, say, any process that opens a named pipe matching some regex. I find that when dealing with complex systems involving systemd services, cron jobs, udev and 30 different daemons running in background, gdb and strace simply aren't enough.
> People who post on Reddit are very often just completely wrong, and often that wrongness becomes a meme (in the original sense of the word) that propagates through the site for literally years.

Isn't that just a microcosm of the internet and society in general?
Completely agree. You have a very healthy way of looking at this personally, and this is the larger lesson people need to take in. "Imposter syndrome" is more a rule of thumb to not be too hard on yourself. The bigger, and more difficult lesson, is to recognize what needs improvement, what you can improve, and what you can't, in yourself and other.

May you find your proper niche!
I have tried wxWidgets and wxPython, and while there are many nice features, my issue with it has always been that its behavior is inconsistent across platforms. I have found Qt to be much better at delivering the same experience across platforms. Using PySide 2 with the previous version of Qt (Qt 5 instead of the current Qt 6) avoids any licensing issues since PySide 2 uses the LGPL version of Qt 5.
The EU can do better than spamming us with cookie popups. They'd like to be relevant, why don't they try passing legislation for this?
Nice find! The author, it seems, falls for the same sorts of things I mentioned. He talks about an "executive-nature" that sets these people apart. Their "aura". Whether they "sparkle with extra life force." People who "just came across as... formidable, somehow." And over and over through the article, he confuses these things with genuine competence and intelligence.
The odds are 100% because it is already "actually happening". Whether it happens completely or not remains to be seen. But it's already a huge disgrace.
Doesn't that lack of insulation affect all heating and cooling technologies? Seems kind of orthogonal to me. Where insulation is poor, people - individually and/or through the government - absolutely should be investing first on improving it. But once that's done, we're back to the original question of what technology to use for heating or cooling the now-well-insulated space. Note that it's entirely possible e.g. for a furnace to have a greater capacity to heat a space while still being less efficient at it within any but the most extreme ranges.

I had the same fear too growing up. I found peace with it and stopped thinking about for many years until now, when I realized that practically it wouldn't affect my waking life if it actually did happen, if I had no memory of it at all, so there would be no use worrying about it.
I think it is an example of a larger industry wide trend. My company is in a similar mode of trying to be lean as possible. New contracts seem to be getting stalled. We recently had an unexpected round of layoffs. Profitability is fine, but there seems to be an expectation of a slowdown.
Lying was absolutely commonplace about anything, software validation testing included. Our company 'managed' their relationships with the FDA so we didn't have to fear them, so bribery basically. When I worked there, it was less than a decade since all the rules regarding bribing doctors had changed, so there was still a lot of that going on. All expenses paid trip to Hawaii for doctors and PI's for a week to optionally attend your 2 hour talk on a new drug, that kind of thing. Golf was a big carrot that was used. This was in an area that was a pharma co. hub geographically, so most people had worked at the other companies and all knew each other as well the the FDA people and this helped to grease the wheels. Our company did most of their trials in India, where it's apparently legal to do things to humans with drugs and therapies you can't get away with in the states, so we really leaned into that. Might not have been legal, but it's what was happening anyway.

I don't force my own preferences on my family. I'd not go to a doctor complaining of pain again - they're in over-correction mode over killing so many people with opiates that you can't get help with that for the time being. I'd never personally take any of the medication peddled for anxiety - too many of those meds don't have long term studies or the AE's were swept under the rug for approval.
Precision vs recall, the bane of our lives
It is such an easy thing to solve with a blockchain. We do not need a 3rd part like Yelp. Just a chain with 2 actors, restaurants and reviewers.
How big is the company?

Did management also forego raises alongside devs?

Whether or not the company is behaving rationally is the wrong question to ask I think, all you can change is how you manage yourself.
I don’t think Walmart cashiers are saddled with non compete. You might have a good point here, but you will fail to get it across if you frame it in such ludicrous, obviously false way.
In other news, I hear that IBM is making excellent progress on quantum level violins.

It will be interesting to see if the same biological outputs are being used in the augmented reality of the F35 augmented reality helmets.

It sounds like it is, so I wonder which has the worst lag... The F35 pilots helmet or Apples Vision Pro. No sudden movements now... but if the games console controllers are increasingly being used in military applications I wonder if one of the tech companies ends up getting tapped on the shoulder to diversify.

Will be interesting to see if the flight sims take advantage of these headsets.

Maybe Apple can help.. https://www.forces.net/women/raf-lacks-suitable-helmet-poten...

Anyway this living in the future is just taking the motion detection inputs and other biological outputs like pupils twitching in order to second guess the humans next move, direction and speed. If it thinks the user is going to move their head left, it will try to keep the augmented graphics in position.

Hence why I said no sudden movements, lay off the non oral routes of manganese...
First demo I tried was `Visualize weather data with two React chart libraries`, and all I see is an error at the bottom.

Appears to be an issue with the charting library used here at a glance?
commerce clause gives congress the power to set up a central bank. also

> To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;

regulate the value thereof literally describes a central bank.
It's even worse - you aren't allowed to work with anyone that you previously worked with for the duration of the clause.

I worked at an NYC based hedge fund until April 2022, and am not allowed to work with anyone that I've worked with at the fund until April 2024, regardless of when they left. This applies even if we don't work on anything competitive to the fund, or even related to finance.
What company. I've seen this being done (and my team does it a lot at Amazon) but curious to know if others are doing it at build time too.

If done in a company with a monorepo I'd be especially interested in hearing more

One thing it's still useful for is getting user reviews that actually tell you if a product is junk or has recently been replaced with an inferior version. Store sites and review pages make it too easy for companies to get negative reviews hidden.
I think several subreddit in my life would be irreplaceable. I don’t know another platform that would generate those kind of communities.
Yet Musk has a Return-To-The-Office mandate

I can't figure out why Musk of all people, especially since he clearly resents paying rent, cannot figure out that one of the key the benefits of WFH is that the company avoids rent and basically co-opts the offices of it's employees (while remote workers also cost less and are a far larger hiring pool).

Of course it may have to do with the same management bias leading Musk to post that "Perhaps we just need a modern day Sulla" [0], a late despot of Rome who in the very reference that Musk posted was noted for "...to despotism, slavery, cruelty, and inhumanity, and the absence of any principle of good government."[1]; IOW, Musk is just a junior wannabe dictator.

The eviction has already been ordered. It must be carried out by the end of July. That's not a new deadline to pay owed rent, that's just the timeline for executing the eviction.
What tracking metrics do you get from the app that wouldn't get by logging API calls? It can't be the valuable to track metrics when you aren't serving ads (since if you have Reddit Premium you don't get ads).

I don't see the point.

Yup, the SSL stuff, along with the actual DB, file, and other stuff, has brought that poor server to its knees :'(
Why wouldn't an eviction take place? Your comment implies that the money will just show up at the last minute, but as I read it it's way too late for the that when the sheriff gets called up to assist in the eviction.

All of the pieces are in place, and who wants a demonstrably unreliable tenant? End of July, call up the sheriff and shovel Twitter's stuff onto the streets. I don't own the building (or any building other than my own house), but I'd go looking for a tenant who pays their bills.
"But as far as I know, that’s going to be insanely expensive or time consuming if done at a personal level"

I think it's going to be really cheap.

Don't fall for the common trap of assuming that you need to fine-tune a model in order to implement Q&A etc against a large corpus of documents.

It turns out it's much more effective (and much easier / less expensive) to do the Bing/Bard/etc trick, where you use an off-the-shelf LLM and run searches (including fancy embeddings vector-database searches) against your content, then feed the top matches into the LLM as part of a prompt that includes the user's question.

I wrote about one way of doing that back in January: https://simonwillison.net/2023/Jan/13/semantic-search-answer... - it's got even easier to implement since then.

ChatGPT functions and ChatGPT 3.5 getting cheaper (and gaining a 16k token context) makes this even more accessible today than it was yesterday.
Not everybody is online enough to know this!
I have to ask, though: if 99% of users do stay on mastodon.social (I'm still there, for instance) or whatever ends up being the main Lemmy instance, is that actually a problem in some way, which is not a much bigger problem on Reddit?
Instead of adjusting desk height, you can adjust chair height. (Add a footstool if necessary.)
Sociology's reliance on MTurk is absurd but most professionally run polls are now the same thing, just dressed up to look nicer. This is why polls keep reporting lots of weird results which are then taken as absolute fact by researchers and pundits.

I saw one the other day from a professional polling firm in which exactly 7% of "the public" said they had attended a protest, no matter what the protest was about. They asked about six or seven things people might protest about, and for every single one, 7% of the panel said they'd been on such a protest. Taken at face value it led to nonsense like concluding millions of people had attended protest marches about CDBC and 15 minute cities.

Unfortunately, the panels these firms use are extremely unrepresentative of the public but are advertised as perfect proxies. People then accept this claim unthinkingly. It's a problem.
Climate can be addressed with proper battery management.

For instance, nissan leaf batteries used to die after a few years (I think they fixed this in recent years), but battery failures for other cars of similar age are unheard of.

I wonder if the batteries in India are being produced domestically, and the manufacturers are trying to catch up.
> There’s something about psychiatry and neuroscience that makes a lot of people who are good at engineering/software think that they are qualified to also be experts on the field of psychiatry.

This isn't always hypocrisy: There's a self-consistent idea here that you're missing: we recognize that psychology (and by extension psychiatry) is extremely hard. Human brains may be the most complex systems in the entire universe. I didn't get the feeling GP was claiming to be an expert, but rather he was claiming "there are no experts in psychology yet". I don't think that's as strong a claim as you seem to think. In fact I think most Ph.D.-level psychology researchers agree with just how tremendously difficult the subject is, and how little progress anyone is able to make.

It's consistent and defensible to believe both that it's absolutely critical for humanity to study its own brains, and also that we haven't done a good job at it yet. It's consistent and defensible to believe both that psychology researchers are smart, dedicated people doing admirable, important work, and also that they have really not made anywhere near the kind of progress to justify the level of confidence that pop-sci magazines, non-fiction writers, and podcasters exude. You don't need to be an expert in psychology to believe these things, either. You simply need to understand how deeply, fundamentally difficult the subject is.
