Based on the interview Christian Selig gave, Apollo has enough active and paying users, that he could continue to make this work with adjustments to the backend code as well as paid products offered by Apollo. Understandably, it seems there is little will after the relationship between Christian and Reddit soured.

My guess is, Christian is content that he can now fully focus on Pixel Pals.
That just confirms it. I am not willing to participate in registering my AI service, nor answer questions about it that the government might have. No sensible developer is willing to do this.
With LLMs, the inputs are highly variable so exact match caching is generally less useful. Semantic caching groups similar inputs and returns relevant results accordingly. So {"dish":"spaghetti bolognese"} and {"dish":"spaghetti with meat sauce"} could return the same cached result.
Compassion fatigue is real. Have you lived near a large homeless encampment? Not one guy with a sleeping bag, but the type of big encampment with 20+ people?

We're talking multiple stabbings/shootings per month, people shitting on the sidewalk, a significant risk that you'll be be harassed in an unpredictable way (e.g. a homeless person swinging a hammer and screaming in a way that's impossible to deescalate), high risk of fires or exploding RVs, and even mundane/"harmless" things like methheads uprooting literally every flower from your garden (this happened to me).

We're talking about a situation where these people are literally terrorizing neighborhoods. There will be maybe 50 homeless people and ~5000+ neighbors, and that small group can ruin the place to the extent that kids can no longer walk to school.

After these experiences, I'm a lot more skeptical about homeless services. I don't want them to die, but at some point forced drug treatment or forced incarceration would be more humane than providing "services" and letting them all OD and die on the streets.
Not that it matters now but just doing something like this works 99% of the time or more with 4 and 90% with 3.5.

This is inaccurate. Fossil gas replaces coal due to its lower cost and fast throttle capabilities (lower carbon and cleaner emissions profile is a happy accident). It's also complimented by renewables, and as renewables expand, they will crowd out fossil gas generation (in concert with utility scale batteries firming renewables and providing grid services). Fossil gas continues to serve the grid in a diminishing capacity as batteries take hold (at a combined cost with renewables lower than fossil gas).

I’ma lurker on Reddit. No account, I just browse the top threads to kill time on the bus.

From my perspective absolutely nothing has changed other than some new subreddits hitting the front page. The topics are the same. Maybe a little more international content——I can’t recall “ich_iel” ever making it to the top before.

I understand most users are lurkers like me. With that in mind, I don’t believe these blackouts will accomplish much. They’ll probably accelerate the homogenization of the platform and the race to the bottom in terms of quality, but that is happening anyway. I already know Reddit is mind-numbing days-old TikTok memes, I use it anyway because I like the interface more.

Edit: it isn’t that I am against the blackout, I just think in realpolitik terms it is not effective since most people are really not that invested or interested in participating in activism for their memes.

This article is just NYTimes grasping at straws, trying to conjure a narrative that’s completely foreign to 99.999% low wage workers.

Non-compete clauses are not “concerningly common”, these are in fact so rare that NYT couldn’t even point out to a single example of non-compete actually affecting low-wage workers: their leading example of Jimmy Johns is not something that ever been enforced, and I seriously doubt that any worker there is even aware of this clause in the contract (low wage workers don’t read these anyway).
Without putting blame anywhere and independently of who has the right of way, don't you just have your preservation instinct kicking in telling you that just giving a bit of brakes is not a bad idea, and that the risk/gain ratio of losing 10 seconds of your day vs. getting killed is not worth it?
You can always moderate by attaching tags to posts, and allow viewers to choose which tags they don't want to see.

You can even have per-moderator tags. E.g. mod123:spam. And then let user filter by tag wildcard or something similar: *:spam.

Also, producing gasoline is not "free". It takes energy to produce and deliver that gasoline to your car.

Numbers I've seen are 5 ~ 8kWh, that's 20-30 miles of electric driving.

Depending on your gasoline car's efficiency and exact kWh number above, the energy to even produce and deliver the gasoline is higher than actually driving an electric vehicle.

Oddly, I assumed I had it early in the waves. Never got a positive test, as folks weren't testing back then. Finally had our first positive test this year. And whatever I had at the start was way way worse than when I had covid. Such that I can understand a lot of folks being very confused on all of this.
How are the reddit mods communicating and coordinating? Is it on Discord?

Yes, but if we're going to be talking about all-in efficiency, note that a bus or train is significantly more efficient[1] than a single-person vehicle idling in gridlock.

I support this, but as someone who doesn't have a Reddit account currently it also makes me want to create one again, just to be able to read threads that come up in my search results.

But then again I would be supporting Reddit (the company, not the community), which would be counterproductive to the initiatives objective.

Everyone should have access to public amenities. But a widespread homelessness problem ends up denying amenities to people who aren't homeless: when libraries regularly have people smoking meth or shooting up in the bathrooms, that makes it uncomfortable for most people to use. It's easy enough to say "they should just get over it, someone passed out on the bathroom floor is not really a threat to anyone," but that betrays a certain level of privilege that ignores the feelings of most people and the genuine lack of safety and cleanliness that homelessness introduces to those spaces.

In your hypothetical example, if you were inebriated, aggressive, and unhygienic, I'd strongly support you being removed from the subway circuit, because you'd similarly be denying access to it to others.
In this arrangement you don’t yet own the deferred compensation when you leave the company. It does not belong to you. Instead your contract with the company might say “we will set aside an amount of money (which isn’t yet yours) and portion it out to you for 1-2 years after you leave, conditional on you not joining a competing firm in that period. If you join a competing firm, we will stop paying you.” Alternatively, the company will just pay you your full salary (plus maybe a fraction of what you used to get in bonus) for this period.

Essentially you’re being paid an income not to work for the competition. Most people take this deal as it tends to be pretty good — think several hundred thousand dollars for you to take an extended holiday or work on personal projects.

If you do take a competing offer during the non-compete period, the company might also use legal action against you, which is another story entirely and one whose threat most people would prefer to avoid.
My sources on the planet Earth say that nowadays this is the way to write news, essays, blogs, podcast videos, and books in order to attract attentions.

Techempower benchmarks are not a good measure of real-world performance. Everyone cheats on them, they don't do a great job of matching realistic workloads, and there's plenty of unresolved issues filed about methodology problems.

Actix also used to be the poster child for overly focusing on benchmark performance at the expense of real world concerns.

anyone dealing with money should understand that the systems of coordination centered around money constitute the short-tail of all such systems. the conclusion of this piece leads me to believe the author understands this intuitively, but just hasn't put that into words yet. to lament that the long-tail of culture and production is supported via the long-tail of social/coordination systems is to lament that the long-tail is pervasive.
Yes. Most people bring it up because they have an interest in a specific study or result being wrong, which I suspect has trained people to be dubious of anyone questioning The Science.

And some people treat it as a quasi belief system, which makes sense, with precepts like 'the world is deterministic, causes precede effects' and so on. You could do worse. But they aren't scientists and they don't generally grok that science is an activity whose output is sometimes useful models and not 'Truth'.

My mental model here is that you thus get people who trust in science as a paradigm, who then see doubt or skepticism as aimed against the whole edifice that is part of their fundamental understanding of the world, resulting in discomfort and leading to expected results.

In other words pretty normal stuff that resembles when you come across an argument whose implications are opposed to your principles, that you suspect of trickery, but lack the rhetoric to dismantle yourself.
Stripe Reserves
Stripe is the last Merchant Processor you want to use. I used Paypal/Brain Tree for years and then started to use Stripe as well. I liked their dashboard and ease to search and use overall. However, they are holding 25% of our funds because our fraud is just slightly over 1%. We are an ecommerce comapany and slightly over 1% in this space is nothing. They keep giving me the run around. I since changed to Authorize.net and explained to stripe it will never go below 1% at least for another 60-days as these transactions age. Even if we get 1 more dispute it will go much higher as we don't have any new transactions going through. Not to mention Fraud is much higher on Stripe then Paypal/Brain Tree. They want you to pay to use their tools which is just another example of how they are basically taking advantage of small businesses.

That script also does more than just Online KMS activation, which would be clear from a few seconds skimming.

There's also been no indication that any of these repos would get taken down. At all. py-kms has been there since 2017. You'd think if Microsoft had such a big problem with its existence, it'd have gotten pulled in the last 6 years.
Reddit can always bring subs back online - the question is if they can find dedicated mods for those subs that were previously ran by volunteers.
It would be nice to have a canonical python GUI framework. Something modern and elegant and flexible. With an intuitive declarative description, quick for simple things but progressivly enhanceable for more complex things. With a friendly license and an active community sharing components, themes or whatever. Reasonanly performant and ideally cross-platform.

All the options fall short somehow, but guess what, its not much better in any other language. The GUI problem is not truly solved.
Sure, that's all totally fair, but was there seriously not even one -- out of the hundreds of thousands (millions?) of businesses -- business owner who managed to find the time to do this?
Ah.

And yes, I'm familiar with /r/trees and /r/marijuanaenthusiasts, a couple of favourite examples.
Thanks. I wonder what it would be like if Python had syntax for modules instead of them being tied to separate files. I would prefer being able to create this container in the same file as other code.

In most of the polls that I have seen, people are supporting an indefinite blackout. There is definitely some backlash, but overall it seems like people support the protest.
In Daszak own words https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AksKoMZon6Y. At around 1h15m he answers a question about how they were doing gain of function research on SARS and SARS related virus with his colleagues in China (WIV).

LCD TVs and even computer displays are somewhat notorious for dodgy power supply designs. I assume that it is because CRT TVs and displays were essentially an one giant SMPS and that reasoning was reused for later LCD based designs.
The whole argument that "the best car to drive is the small old efficient one you have today" always seemed idealistic and false on its face. Sure, lifetime emissions of that vehicle are likely lower if you ignore the initial cost of that vehicle... But it's not like the option is between "scrap the old efficient ICE vehicle and buy a new EV" or "drive this old ICE". That older car gets passed on to another consumer, who will, likely, on average lower their total emissions.

New vehicles are inevitable, as older vehicles are eventually infeasible to repair. So, the correct answer is to actually look at lifetime emissions of a vehicle... You can never ignore that initial cost to manufacture, even if you current already own it.

The only way you actually worsen lifetime emissions is if you somehow hoard cars and cause repeated "initial manufacturing emissions" in excess of a typical consumer. Everything else is just moving when you count the consumption.

i think in that case explaination is needed even more, if you are hardcore dev, then no one need to remind you about such rule, on the other hand if you are not so familiar with those rules yet, explanation would be very helpful
Electric cars don't idle in gridlock, the motors don't consume energy while stopped. They are also more efficient at 10mph than they are at 50mph, let alone 70mph.
It is not lying if the question is "Have you entered into any legal agreement that would prohibit..." when in California that agreement is void. That means there is nothing that would prohibit you.

For anyone who hasn't signed an employment contract in California, it'll have the boilerplate noncompete they use everywhere but it will also have an addendum page that says basically "the noncompete back on page x doesn't apply to you so ignore it".

> I always thought "chemo brain" was just a cop out until my mother had her bout with breast cancer

Why would you or anyone think it was a cop out?
I had a really bad cold-like illness in late November 2019, which left behind a severe sore throat which lasted about three weeks. It was notable because it wouldn't go away, to the point where I went to both urgent care and my primary doctor on separate occasions (I'm not one to go to the doctor unless I really need to.) Both times they took a look at my throat, proclaimed it to be a viral infection, and sent me on my way.

I too have wondered if I actually had Covid, but nobody knew how to diagnose it at that time.
There's a pretty basic feeling I have that if as a user you can browse & get data from a site, you should be the ability to get that same data in more direct useful & unencumbered form.

The thing is, anyone doing shady things probably already has complex ways of scraping & extracting data they want anyways. The only people this walled gardening hurts are good everyday users, are citizens.

Worrying about "oh no what if we could easily get public data" feels like a way too conservative reaction that's not in touch with where we are already.
Can you link any of those polls? I saw a lot of polls with a vast majority voting for the initial blackout but the tone of the response to this indefinite blackout feels way different.

Some of my favorite things found online are old scanned engineering reports from before absolutely everything came out of a PC. These are definitely on the long tail.

For example: https://onlinepubs.trb.org/Onlinepubs/state-of-the-art/2/2.p...

Of course these aren’t easy to find, and it’s only through specific searches that a hidden away scanned pdf put through OCR can be found. It would be great if there was more of a movement to scan all this material and put it online.

This needs to be passed in the remaining 49 states ASAP. When moving over to my current gig, my previous employer forced me to sit out for 6 months. Their agreement was so broad that it pertained to anywhere where there was phone or email in the world. Also applied to any customers, partners, or competitors so basically I couldn’t work in tech at all (since they are a major reseller and everybody procures something from them).

Hint: Their company color is fuchsia
In the UK and other places this is also common. They are just agreeing to pay you for another couple of years to not work for a competitor.
> It's the kind of behavior that's impossible to prove for anyone outside of Yelp, and they of course claim they don't do it.
