Some of my favorite quotes, from my favorite McCarthy book, Blood Meridian:

War was always here. Before man was, war waited for him. The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.

--

Whatever in creation exists without my knowledge exists without my consent.

--

In the days to come they would ride up through a country where the rocks would cook the flesh from your hand and where other than rock nothing was. They rode in a narrow enfilade along a trail strewn with the dry round turds of goats and they rode with their faces averted from the rock wall and the bake-oven air which it rebated, the slant black shapes of the mounted men stenciled across the stone with a definition austere and implacable like shapes capable of violating their covenant with the flesh that authored them and continuing autonomous across the naked rock without reference to sun or man or god.

--

They rode on and the sun in the east flushed pale streaks of light and then a deeper run of color like blood seeping up in sudden reaches flaring planewise and where the earth drained up into the sky at the edge of creation the top of the sun rose out of nothing like the head of a great red phallus until it cleared the unseen rim and sat squat and pulsing and malevolent behind them. The shadows of the smallest stones lay like pencil lines across the sand and the shapes of the men and their mounts advanced elongate before them like strands of the night from which they’d ridden, like tentacles to bind them to the darkness yet to come.
If they asked random sub users who wants to be a mod - they'll get more free moderators within a heartbeat.

At some point, Reddit will just force all subs to be open again, and any mods that try to delete the sub or do no moderation will just get banned or whatever.

It's pretty hard to fight against the corp using the corp's own platform.

"I will say his metaphors can be quite beautiful hut they often make no sense grammatically."

Question 1: Example, please?

Question 1.5: In what way does the example not make sense grammatically?

Question 2.0-2.(n): To what degree does grammar 'matter'? Is conformance to some prescriptive view of grammar essential to 'good' writing? What is the function of grammar - precision and disambiguation? Are there contexts in which grammar can or should be subservient to other linguistic effects, such as prosody? Are there other phenomenological effects of reading to which grammar may or may not be relevant?

An exercise for the motivated reader: Read 'A Carafe that is a Blind Glass' by Gertrude Stein. What does it feel like? What does it evoke? What are we doing mentally when we read it? What exactly are we doing when we read?
Who would you cast as the judge?
Unfortunately, no. At the same time, you don't need their "cloud" to use or run an instance of netdata. From what I gather, it's more or less intended to help monitor multiple instances of netdata on different machines. When I first installed netdata, I initially thought it required the use of their cloud to store historical metrics, but this is not the case. You just need to configure the dbengine, as I mentioned in my post, and you'll be good to go without their cloud.

> I've had one organization call the "confederate flag" a form of racism.

Claiming it's not is not the hill I'd choose to die on. Modern display of what most call the "confederate flag" (it isn't) rose to prominence in response to the civil rights movement. It was a perfect example of hiding behind the thinnest veneer of legitimacy while attacking someone.

I don't doubt that many in the modern day display it out of ignorance, not understanding what it actually is and how it became a symbol of their culture, but it's definitely something HR shouldn't allow in the workplace.
There's two problems with this: first, the new mods have a good chance of being just as bad as the old mods. Second, the new subs will not be able to use the good subreddit names and will be harder to find. The latter is core problem: discoverability. If it was possible to just found a new sub and have it show up just as clearly when you search for subs related to a particular topic, then if the mods turn out to be terrible there's not many problems in just starting a new sub. But as long as only one subreddit can have a particular name you can't solve that problem

If PE ruined 5 companies for every success but that one success paid back 10x, someone would do it.
You’re right due to the network effects Reddit currently enjoys.

Personally, I’ve quite enjoyed using tildes.net lately. I know everyone is jumping on Lemmy and federation, which is great in practice but Tildes feels more accessible to me and for that reason may have more potential to actually capture a user base.
Hmm, I was just wondering a couple days ago whether HURD was alive or not.

> are these projects you pitched to acedemia? ones you would post in white papers? One you may consider selling on some sort of asset store for profit?

No, for privat projects I am mostly reinventing wheels. But, in some sense, I actually pitched them collectively during my job hunt.

My interests are spread pretty far, so my hobby projects range from building ambisonic microphones over reimplementing interesting algorithms like WFC to implementing Navient Stokes equations in JAX to optimize airfoils in a differentiable CFD simulator.

My new job reflects that, I am pretty happy with that :-)
I’m happy that 90% of the subs I sub to joined the blackout.

But some subs like r/comics are strangely boot licky despite how community engaged the mod team seemed to be. Automatically removing requests about the blackout and not even entertaining the discussion.
Fediverse is too disjointed, I want one place to go for all the seedy "ask reddit" stuff, or for "history", etc. Single-topic silos is a big feature that you can't get in the fediverse when there could be askhistory on multiple instances, etc, and when the whole community is going to different servers to access lemmy, etc..

A centralized reddit that is a co-op / wikipedia like org, would be better. It could still be profitable, it could still run ads even, but it doesn't have to take VC funding, or sell it's soul.

Original question:

> How do you explain that some people are not sensitive to social status?

You're interpretation of that question:

> The original claim was that some people are "not sensitive to status" and have no biochemical changes from it.

As a 3rd party observer I don't have confidence that the original question and your interpretation of it are equivalent, perhaps OP could provide clarity.
Thank you, this is a balanced and detailed response. I don’t personally “buy” the narrative that all LBOs are destructive. After all there are entire funds devoted to LBOs and how would these PE outfits carry on getting loans if their companies constantly defaulted?
This is explicitly what their CEO said. Many subreddits said they'd return on wednesday.

Never mind, I found the caveats section at the bottom of your blog post (https://blog.theapricot.io/posts/install-on-ios/). Looks like it requires the use of Google sign in rather than relying on an email. As someone without an google account, I'm afraid this means I am stuck using Safari.
For me, McCarthy is among a few authors ( Sherman Alexie, Edward Abbey, Octavia Butler, etc) who truly broke the Northeastern cultural stranglehold on American literature. His voice is brutally and uncompromisingly continental.
> Is llvm still relevant outside of academia?

I am surprised by the question. In my experience of the industry, LLVM has become dominant to a degree which makes some of the work kind of boring.

I expect MLIR will eventually become similarly universal. In the compiler I am currently working on, we render the AST straight into an MLIR dialect - every node becomes an op - and the rest of the frontend is implemented in terms of MLIR passes.

Calling the Border Trilogy a coming-of-age story is...one way to look at it for sure, given how it all ends. I love "The Crossing", top three McCarthy for me (the others being "Blood Meridian" of course and "Child of God").
AI will replace the mods.
lol no it doesn't. most sure, but not everyone.

imho it affects people who didn't seek/don't want power differently from those who went looking for it.
It's extremely violent, borderline-surreal in some places, excruciatingly slow in others (by design), occasionally has two or three levels of story-within-a-story. Unlike some of his other novels, it's more of an epic than a story, which is usually very hard to put on film. The closest I can think of is something like Ben-Hur or Apocalypse Now (which adapted Conrad's Heart of Darkness); both were famously plagued by production issues.
This is the way. I use miniconda to create env for Jupyter and install only Jupyter and its dependency on that, then I just config it to point to all the other Python envs I use for my different projects. This is only one-time setup and it is absolutely worth it given how messy the ecosystem is.
I don't think so. Digg was a vote driven news feed one day and a commercial feed the next. It was like visiting a totally different website in terms of content. Reddit was sitting there with the "old" format, so it wasn't too shocking to see everyone migrate.

This isn't a drastic change and there aren't any competitors that are offering anything better (ignoring the benefits of something decentralized).
...Not precisely. AMD implements the "AI" matrix instructions in the shaders themselves, not as big seperate blocks like Nvidia. But unlike Nvidia, the instructions are different on the consumer (RDNA3) and server line. I dont know anything about building rocm, but supporting rdna must indeed make things more difficult.

Intel takes this approach too.
I love how their status says that services are just degraded
As I mention every time dating comes up on HN, often men on HN live in areas that skew male. SV, Seattle, Bangalore, etc. If you live in say, San Jose, there are 130 men for every 100 women. It not necessarily that apps don't work just the marketplace is not in balance in those cities. On the other hand a not insignificant portion of men send the dumbest msgs. Not that hard to write something better.

Also some women might say that are not looking for something serious when they really mean just not interested in long term with the person asking. Sadly, men murder women, so women have to be careful about letting men down.

Plenty of people have met their spouse on dating apps, so the idea "if you are looking for a serious relationship - there's just no way you are going to find it on here." just isn't accurate.

For building packages you want to distribute I would generally recommend an environment well isolated, well defined and reset to a known immutable state every time before you build anything _independent/additionally of any isolation a build system provided_ (except if the build system provides exactly this kind of isolation).

A common way to archive this is to run the steps in OCI containers (e.g. docker, CI systems like github actions, etc.). Through systems like nix can archive similar results.

Be aware that just using an OCI image isn't separating the "build software for packaging" and "process of packaging software" steps, any decent packaging system should provide a reasonable version of this and not doing so is "a mayor wtf. it's 2023 get your shit together" moment. Through weather it's with multi stage docker containers or dependent CI jobs there are many ways to work around it.

EDIT: To be clear I'm speaking about system packages and similar. Constraints for pure source code packages are similar but not quite the same and what is/isn't needed is also a lot language dependent.
Yes, people have always been distracted and overwhelmed. Nothing new there. Ask your casual citizen then. People are unwilling to take the simple steps of removing spyware from their phone or daily life. That is lazy. Its also the first step. If everyday people just dumped these apps and web services, CIA/Mossad's of the world would have a very limited vector, and having been spoiled with direct links into everything for 20 years, would probably be clueless. People need to take responsibility for their own privacy and data security.
How does this generate off-by-one errors?

Current college senior at Northeastern University concentrating in human-centered computing (think UI development) but with coursework and professional experience in a variety of other technical functions. Planning to graduate in December.
Looking for internship opportunities through the rest of the summer and potentially fall as well, and looking for full-time work starting in January of 2024. Currently working on personal projects including a personal website to be used as a portfolio of other work. Also an endurance sport athlete (completed my first half marathon in March).
I have limited prior work experience in tech but I learn quickly, am not afraid to ask questions, and am very comfortable in collaborative settings. I have worked in financial services in the past but I really just want to build cool stuff.
Nothing. But then who’s going to moderate them ? It’s not like they can simply hire 20k people to take over.
Rest in peace.

I had a harebrained fantasy of taking a sabbatical to do a visiting fellowship at the Santa Fe Institute while he was there. I figured he would like talking brain-behavioral science and I would like hearing anything he had to say, plus would have gotten to talk with mathematicians and other technical experts with a visionary tinge. I never did it (too early in my career to try), but it was fun to imagine.

My spouse got me his final novel(s), which he had the prescience to announce as such, and I almost started reading them a few days ago. Now I know it will be a memorial read, also content that he assumed it mostly would be.
> It is also a lie to say java is "quite slow" compare to c/c++

Why ?
I added reddit.com to my ublock filters - it was kind of an automatic click a few times a day and it's been a nice way to break the habit so strongly. I've got friends doing the same, and our microcommunity has formed around another platform already, after collectively losing reddit.

It was so clearly a half-assed, badly thought out policy. No mention of mod tools. No mention of accessibility tools. No mention of research. Just 'API priced at ridiculous levels in 4 weeks'. They immediately had to walk a bunch of exemptions for those obvious considerations out. So extraordinarily half-assed. And for such a small sniff of revenue. They must be desperate.
> To the people who've been in this situation, what would you do in Huffman's shoes?

- Extend the 30 day to apply the pricing to 6 months (at least) to let people figure it out their stuff ;
- Give some leverage for the _existing_ 3 party apps that contributed to reddit till this point on the form of a smaller price;

Because nobody could handle the judge, that, and would take such a particular style of photography to capture the prose. I think mostly because of the complex characters like the judge, and the violence.

People underestimate how much goes into moderating a community. You can train the bots to remove posts based on age of account, or karma. But to respond and remove racist trash in comments or just spam takes a lot of time. Especially for large communities, the time spent can become a full time job (in terms of hours).

And when you have to insert paid moderators, the cost to moderate all of the huge communities will blow up Reddit’s internal budget.

It’s easier said than done. Just ask FB or Google (with YouTube), they have difficulty moderating their own platforms and they have billions of dollars at their disposal.
Even if this was feasible, how much would it cost and how long would it take to successfully roll out?

Looks like I could use that new AI autocorrect. :)
Honestly, I find the x86+GPU parts more interesting. One could make a very Apple-like PC with a SoM and very little glue around it (a bit like what you can do with some top-of-the-line Xeons that have HBM chiplets). And with between 1 and 6 x86 chiplets, the Mi300 could have between 8 and 96 Zen 4 cores.

These things are so interesting it's a shame they aren't cheap.
I'm reading new ones that aren't doing the blackout. Need for content didn't change.
> It’s implausible (or maybe straight up impossible?) that a tiny sailing yacht could hold enough explosives for scuba divers to individually plant on the pipeline near Bornholm.

Huh? It's totally plausible. I don't believe it, but it's certainly plausible. Just how much explosives do you think it would have required? Even small personal boats can easily carry several tons of cargo, and that is more than enough to trash some pipes. I'm really struggling to think why and how you could think this implausible.
> I'd be looking elsewhere too, but from a business perspective that sounds like a roaring success.

Short term, yeah. Long term, it's a big opportunity for someone else to come in and provide the original superior service and eat their lunch.
The title is not what it shows, that meetings are booked more on Monday 11am doesn't mean that people prefer or are more likely to show up. I guess they don't have data on attendance, only on booking.
You’re right about the first part.

For the second part—they should free up the names of mods protesting. Fun chaos, unpredictable outcome. I support.
The assumption is that those communities would just go back to normal if they were seized by Reddit. I'm not sure that's a good assumption.
Control plane will almost always be impacted, I agree.

Our data plane was fine (for example, ec2 instances and s3 buckets in other regions were fine).
This could be framed as female incels insisting they have a right to a man who will support them.
Apple doesn’t use ARM IP for either, and hasn’t for many years.
The era where "retro" meant "NES" is behind us, now retro means Game Boy Color, PS1, and Quake-era PC aesthetics. To wit, the developers of Shovel Knight (the premier NES platformer homage) are developing a GBC-styled Bloodborne-like called Mina the Hollower: https://www.yachtclubgames.com/games/mina-the-hollower/ (though sadly it's not designed to run on original hardware).
Maybe because the Jupyter is setup on the computing server, where everyone needs to log in to do their works? This was the case for my last 4 companies.

I'm really not sure the big subs would suffer all that much. Many of them are already modded by a clique of mods and are large enough that there's not really any community to be had there anyway. It would be pretty terrible for the small communities that were reddit's most valuable part
> Right now there is a wave of people that are upset over "violent language"

There's absolutely nothing on that page to indicate they're upset about violent language

> If push comes to shove.. they'd lose their marbles over that.

There's even less indication of that.

If the goal is for fewer people to overreact, why are we inventing boogeymen to overreact about?
For me, it's the McChicken. The best fast food sandwich. I even ask for extra McChicken sauce packets and the staff is so friendly and more than willing to oblige.

One time I asked for McChicken sauce packets and they gave me three. I said, "Wow, three for free!" and the nice friendly McDonald's worker laughed and said, "I'm going to call you 3-for-free!".

Now the staff greets me with "hey it's 3-for-free!" and ALWAYS give me three packets. It's such a fun and cool atmosphere at my local McDonald's restaurant, I go there at least 3 times a week for lunch and a large iced coffee with milk instead of cream, 1-2 times for breakfast on the weekend, and maybe once for dinner when I'm in a rush but want a great meal that is affordable, fast, and can match my daily nutritional needs.
Another strong reason is that the work they're willing to take doesn't require a college deplomia. (On top of that a university degree not demonstrating the value to the struggle it took to get it)
It's not a greenhouse gas if you make it from atmospheric CO2, that's the whole point. Also, sending methane through a pipeline is pretty straightforward. Methanol is an option on the liquid side, but if you can make methanol from atmospheric CO2 and water, you can also make jet fuel, which will be needed as jet travel isn't really electrifiable.
Repairing Electronics: A circular economy solution
Obviously not, Ukraine isn't in NATO.
I have no doubt, my point is the mods of r/music don’t have a specific leaning that they’d try to manipulate.

Most of the mods of bigger subs have been doing it for years and it’s just a quirky hobby/obligation.

Obviously the super mods are in the pocket of the admins, and political subs are very controlling.

But appointing a new round of mods for a sub with millions of subscribers will attract the most bottom barrel power hungry people.
> A “human” may or may not have made that mistake, where an LLM will never be a 100% perfect trustable entity by design (aka, hallucinations).

This is equally true if you swap “human” and “LLM”. Humans, too, are fallible by design, and LLMs (except maybe with exactly fixed input and zero temperature) are generally not guaranteed to make or not make any given error.

Humans are more diverse both across instances and for the same instance at different times (because they have, to treat them as analogous systems [0], continuity with a very large multimodal context windows.) But that actually makes humans less reliable and predictable, not more, than LLMs.
