That is also what I suspect. Otherwise where would they get two thousand H100s?
His job is to double down on getting Reddit public with a successful IPO.

Investors want their $ back out of Reddit
I don't see how flexible power demand (e.g. hydrogen generation) helps baseload power. If you always have a valuable way to use excess power, that just makes variable generation like solar even more valuable and makes it even harder for nuclear to compete.
In the end, this "blackout" will do about as much as a change.org petition.

Even if some subreddits choose to extend the time period (even indefinitely) Reddit has no reason to really care - most of them are so small they don't 'move the needle'.

I appreciate that the decision Reddit is making and their justification both seem poor. But the response seems like people are missing where and how Reddit makes its money.
I encountered this in a previous job. I told them during design phase the implementation was failing basic computer science knowledge and would cost the company a lot of excess computing costs (due to redundant work).

a quarter after launch it was a crisis because $5k a month customers were costing $50k a month in compute. The original designer put in some patches that got it down to $25k, and then $3k and was a "hero". By my estimates the limit of the actual work being done should have been < $500. But we didn't have time to implement that due to a quarterly insistence and folks all nodding their heads at eachother to get promoted.

In the end he got promoted and i got a negative review for not being a "team player" (ie being disagreeable about a design I knew had undesirable properties)
> The SEC isn’t doing anything to suggest it claims jurisdiction over Ethereum. (It’s also not at his discretion.)

That's the thing - they are not clarifying whether they have jurisdiction or not. And then you have to play the guessing game, with CFTC also chiming in about their preferences.
Investors on hopium, an IPO now is DOA.
> Ads are usually not served up by the application provider (Reddit) ...

This is the case for most sites, but not Reddit. Reddit rolled their own system, and if you look at their ads you'll see it's all coming through Reddit.
This is a really clever approach to tool use. I'll definitely be experimenting with this trick. Previously I had a grotesque cacophony of agents and JSON parsers. I think this will do a lot to help (both the process and my wallet)
Would you believe that most restaurants in the US have a minimum 18% tip if you have more than 6 people in your party? The norms here are very different and part of the problem is lifestyle expectations. Minimum wage isn't expected to be glamorous, but some people think that having roommates is not a reasonable expectation for anyone.
If you are building static sites, all you are doing with reactjs is abstracting parts via components, right?

All it takes is to actually write the html that goes into a component, rather than the component. I don't see how any react dev wouldn't be able to do this.

Also, I, too, would rather use react. I'd rather be able to reuse components I already have or to make some to reuse later, and to keep the project organized in that way, plus future-proofing the project to a certain degree.
Ennui was the wordle solution a few days ago. The number of people on my FB feed that didn’t know it was a word was entertaining.
I can't see that.

If a 1.5 person app (Apollo) is handily beating Reddit's app... what on earth is the holdup? Either the eng team is wildly incompetent, or this is by executive choice.

Reddit's inability to deliver on mod tools despite a decade's worth of promises makes me think it's 40/60 wildly incompetent and needing firing vs exec choice.
I kept waiting for the part where they explain why the GPU is important, but no, the "cuda" part is from the Bosnian word for "wonder" or "miracle".

> As I understand it, we can only really do that for a single-electron atoms.

We can do it analytically for single-electron atoms. We can solve it numerically for much larger systems.
I think this really comes down to what is reasonable. And there is no hard, provable, answer to that.

To me this is no different to searching my room (my private space) when you suspect my room mate of a crime. Is it right that my privacy is invaded? No. It is sadly necessary because unfortunately, though not my fault, there might be evidence etc there? Yes.

Another analogy is if I worked somewhere and something was stolen, I would expect the police to receive my name. I am no theft, but I was in the place at the time, so it's not unreasonable that the police might want to at least try to speak to me right? I can always decline to co-operate but maybe I saw something? Or maybe a quick search reveals I am selling the same item that was stolen on my ebay account and suddenly the crime is solved? But the only way for the police to start work is to know who was there.

I also think this sort of invasion is very small: searching my person is a bigger violation, searching my dwelling too. Merely discovering I was at a place is hardly a violation at all, no one would call it that if a witness named me as there so why not a mobile phone company?

I agree 100% about the militarisation of the police though... As a brit, I wonder how much of that is just poor policy, and how much is due to a toxic mix of "the right to bear arms" and drug prohibition. What do you think?
Same here, however I've been severely hindered by the protests as many of the results I get are on subs that are now private.

I am fine ending my mindless scrolling, but I have realized how much I depend on niche reddit communities for good answers to specific questions now that I can't get to them and am struggling to find good results elsewhere.
I end up using Reddit as much or more than Stack Overflow these days for my profession. It's the best place I've found to get peoples opinions and experiences with libraries, tools, services, and etc.

Outside IT it's still prob my main method to research opinions and advice while filtering out all the Google crap.
Pretty sure the trick there is to just take a trickle, not try to get a flood of income out of wealth taxation.

NO amount of this is going to be acceptable to the wealthy, but there's gonna be a threshold between resentful grumbling and panicked flight, and that threshold is not at zero. And the usefulness of a wealth tax kicks in WAY closer to zero than the panic flight threshold is.
> The problem isn't that no one can create a Reddit clone, the problem is that no one can scale like Reddit and do it at continuous loss just to be dominant

Well, anyone with enough money to burn can, but most who could probably can find other, better ways to burn the money.
My bad. I Googled around for the cost and misread things. $10k was the A100 cost...

Very impressive project sir.

And Nvidia has a very good business.
I went to a hole in the wall place the other day, the kind with no seating. The machine shows me tipping options of: 20%, 25%, and 30%. I have also seen restaurants add a gratuity of 20% for parties of 4 or more automatically and then ask you for tip on top of that. This kind of thing is sadly getting more and more common.
>but it’s insanity that a tech company think it’s reasonable for indie devs to operate under that constraint.

I don't like being that pessimist "fuck capitalism" sort of user but... between the high cost, low deadlines, and unanswered responses from devs, it's pretty clear what the true intent here is. And I don't think it was a due to a lack of competence. It was very carefully planned (maybe not the scale of the reaction, but overall planned).

---

And from other devs on the AMA, It's not like devs didn't know before the public announcement. One app developer mentioned trying for 3 months to get contact:

>I am the developer of a third party app (Now for Reddit) which has been happily using the API for 10 years. I don't want to close down and have been considering using the paid API. However, I have been trying to contact Reddit over the last 3 months and have been completely ignored.

>I have sent many emails (devapps@reddit.com) and have used the online contact form which reddit themselves have asked developers to use. Each and every time I hear nothing.

>What am I supposed to do? The deadline is approaching fast, my app will be rate limited by Reddit and it will stop working. Please, reply to developers who contact you.

>I feel completely powerless to do anything right now and I want to try and save the app I've been working on for the last 10 years.

>I know I'm not the only developer who is being ignored, it's extremely unfair and a horrible way to be treated.

(yes, as you can predict, this question did not get an answer despite being the 2ns or 3rd top comment)

Now for Reddit isn't the most popular app, but 500k downloads on android alone show this wasn't just some small toy. They give a deadline of almost two months but ignore 3 months of email support. They don't want 3rd party apps.
"Like normal but worse" wouldn't entice much interest, would it?
Seems plausible. Vacancy rates of commercial property is ~~down~~ up significantly in major cities (SF, ATX, NYC, SEA, ...).

What I want to know is: is it possible to find out how many of these commercial loans contain a "non-recourse" clause?
Only said to make the protesters appear crazy.
It's not actually that different or complicated if you're already doing proportional plaintext rendering -- you need to store style attributes for a range of text, and you need to support different heights per line.

The real complexity is rendering all of unicode properly, and supporting international fonts, bidi layout, vertical text, etc.
I mean, you're more than welcome to create a subreddit and start rebuilding with the members of the community who think as you do. I'd also like to point out that inconvenience is a desired feature of protest, not a bug.

Why is it other peoples responsibility to not inconvenience you?
This can also easily be a filter on the part of the reader: anything FP is always close to triggering the "smug" concept, even if they don't use words that would be read as smug if the topic was something else.

Same way some people are quick to read intelligent women as "uppity" though they say nothing that would be read as uppity if said by someone else.
The suburbs around Detroit aren't doing that bad, but there are plenty of "failed" cities around the USA if you look close enough. Any city without a mild climate and access to nice outdoor areas nearby is considered a failed city in many people's books...who wants to move to Tulsa these days?
Never got this.

Depending on your threat model, I suggest using a unique email address to register your password manager account. Harden that email account and set up email forwards if it's separate or just give the password manager a unique name for your catch-all email address (I believe iCloud offers something similar to this as well).
> a custom template language written in Ruby

This makes it sound like it's some template language specific to this project, but ERB is the dominant templating language for Ruby because an ERB implementation is in the standard library.
I haven't gone to a sit-down restaurant since the pandemic began. What with compulsory tipping, inflation, and a huge reduction in quality, I'm finding it hard to justify the cost. I still enjoy food trucks and takeout... but restaurants are a pass.
How much work does a mod of a city subreddit with 600k subscribers really do though? Is it really necessary to have rules in a city subreddit such as 1) no questions or 2) no posts about crime?

That's what I don't understand. The mods in my city subreddit love to claim they get a ton of alt-right posts and are constantly fighting spam but I've browsed new for years on it and it's _extremely_ rare I see content like that and I highly doubt the mods are acting so fast that they're seeing things I before I do with how often I sat on new auto-refreshing the page.
Windows often (or can be set to almost always) logs dumbs of a program that crashes, and you can open it up in WinDbg and see stack traces and things.
> They have a higher user count than they’ve ever had breaking their own MAU records.

Yeah, because the bots and spam area largely out of control. There is significantly much more of it them used to be. And no, ads did not went down because of pressure campaigns, but because of serious mismanagement of ad accounts.
> sin of trying to derive all human behavior from economics/psychology

To remedy to that, I highly recommend Joseph Henrich's "The Secret of Our Success". What we call "human behaviour" in such discussions is often culturally learned (or at least shaped).

His point: our psychology is "programmable", and prestige plays a key role in that programming. Western culture (market norms, trust towards strangers, monogamy as the norm, etc.) is forming our psychology in a way that is very far from (historically) typical humans.

(That said, I'm no expert in this area and cannot put Henrich's work into context.)
As far as I can see it doesn't override the default font sizes at all for the body text.

If that's not legible I see that as a client default problem, not an issue with the content.
This already exists to some extent, with the >> operator and lambdas.

```

first = ->(x){some code...}

second = ->(x){some code...}

third = ->(x){some code...}

(third >> second >> first).call(arg)

```

I agree it's not as clean as what you propose, but much better imo than traditional nested calls (and Haskell's `.`).
I would be ok with that, but a lot of people would probably be priced out of the market. After all the costs associated with that business don't vanish, they'll just have to be inserted into the up-front costs. People already think restaurants are expensive, wait until they see restaurants that don't allow tipping.

Again I think that's the way to go, instead of the weird shell game of value we have now, but I think a lot of people will not agree. What people really want is for tipping to become purely voluntary or go away, but also for nothing else to change.
No one "gave" mr beast the money. He earned it by creating entertaining content. So sure he's not maximizing the good per dollar, but he's taking dollars that would not be spent on doing good and doing some good with them. If you can convince people to give you money for more efficient good deeds you'd be more altruistic than him, but I don't think you can.

I don’t see home prices coming down - ever, but that’s me.

Interest rates? Good point. But I’d jump now, refinance later.

I’ve been burned more often waiting than getting in too soon.
I like this idea, even though I dislike it.

I'm a good tipper, and it's not to feel good about myself, but because it seems the right thing to do. (Some people don't think there's a distinction there, often voiced as "they're just trying to feel good about themselves" to excuse one not doing the right thing themselves, but others do think there's a distinction.)

So long as tipping exists, I'll now have to try not to think of my tip as subsidizing jerks who tip poorly, since that's a little annoying, and I can't do anything about that.

Oh, damn, I really thought it was published :-(
I've felt the opposite. He's basically tried to have an argument in public to get people to turn against Reddit. His communication is no longer negotiation. It's burn everything down with me because I've given up.

I understand that Christian is in a really challenging place, but fighting with Spez in a public place is not the way to do it. It only encourages other developers to build a following that they attempt to leverage against Reddit.
Translation: A large round of layoffs are coming soon.
OpenAI continues to impress. Function calls will make working with JSON much easier, a current pain point. Dropping the price of embeddings and increasing context length means searching through your own content should become faster and more accurate.

> $0.0015 per 1K input tokens and $0.002 per 1K output tokens, which equates to roughly 700 pages per dollar.

This is such an incredible steal, especially when you consider that no open source option comes close to GPT3.5.
so first about size is what 5 lines of css when most companies use react or any other framework. And every website has different theme, style, buttons, checkboxes so what let's don't use css at all then? and user can install extension that let them override css.
Not to steal your thunder, but the secret sauce to ASMLs success, the EUV tech, was developed by Sandia Labs USA and ASML bought the license to use it, and the other secret sauce, the insanely tricky EUV light source is developed and built by Cymer USA which ASML also bought. So, pretty sure the US deserves at least an honorable mention here for inventing and building the tech ASML packages and sells.
None of this will do a thing if people aren't willing to leave, and unfortunately I doubt many will.

The most powerful force in computing is laziness. People will trade freedom, autonomy, privacy, security, ownership of their own works, anything for ease of use.
I think they would’ve done that if they wanted to build Reddit more, but it seems like they’re betting on going public so the people that want to can take their exit.
I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss, external popularity can paint a target on your back for 0.000x% of people (which, of course is infinitesimal but non-zero).

I myself have been harrassed for wearing local game studio garb because our games are "violent" and we have "problems with violence" in the city.

The game was a vampire fantasy battle royale, so not exactly a realistic depiction of gun crime- people who feel vindicated to act a certain way will do so without shame or impunity. Best to not give them anything to cling to.
Example: regulation by enforcement.

What he should have done: clarified upfront the status of Crypto tokens, like "X, Y, Z are commodities. A, B, C are securities" etc. And then offer a path to register those securities so that Coinbases of the world can start offering them properly.

What he did: sued Coinbase for trading 10-11 tokens as unregistered securities. And good players still don't know how to register Crypto tokens with SEC as securities.
I don't know about that - I've never heard that issue with leaving a cash tip in Europe, especially as the amount overall is fairly neglible. Most of mainland Europe doesn't even give the option to add a tip to a card payment when you get the bill as tips are discretionary.
I will agree it's about 30% less code on average, but whether it's "team friendly" or "debug friendly" is quite another matter. Debates over such often rage for months.

If it's truly superior, then form a company called Functional Magic or the like and out-compete OOP rivals and eat their lunch. Proof will then be in the pudding, no more talk. (Some co's have tried similar without long-term success, at least outside of niches, as it does well in finance.)

If FP is say 15% more productive, such a company would eventually just outcompete OOers by growing 15% a year. Even 5% a year would catch up in roughly a decade. If you truly believe in FP's superiority, do it! Unleash the FP Kraken! When you are golfing with Warren Buffett & Gates, you can say, "I toldja so, fore!..."
> Why would Elon Musk care if he loses money on Twitter? His Tesla stake has gone up more in the past 4 weeks than the entire amount he personally spent on Twitter

Having another income source really does not imply he does not care about a company where he is spending most of the time.
Ah, I see the use case now-where you get it replaced by a 3rd party or buy a stolen phone, do you want it bricked by a software update? I don't know. I don't know that I care much about that use case TBH.

What I don't want is this: someone steals my phone and then replaces the fingerprint sensor and has access to everything, including the ability to reset and resell the phone.

Yes, but the floating isn't the issue: throwing in my example was just a concrete stand in for promise side effects in general. Running queries you only need in one not so common branch before the conditional gets checked, for instance.
The irony of organizing a blackout to teach Reddit a lesson while organizing it on a subreddit.
The US generally allows waitstaff in restaurants to be paid below minimum wage, with the expectation that they'll earn the balance in tips.
This sounds like finding ways to fold without it looking like they folded. The question is simple - can they live with the new situation or not? If they are willing to, then protesting on Tuesdays is not going to do much. If they are not, then they are not on every day, not only Tuesday. I don't endorse either side here, but looking realistically, it's either win - Reddit changes their behavior to more acceptable - or loss - Reddit doesn't. Solidarity Tuesdays are just a form of the loss where people still pretend it's not lost yet.

> a lot of the platform's value generation isn't being captured by them

I will add that neither is it made by them. Community creation, curation, moderation, posting, discussing, styling, accessibility, usability is all done through volunteers and community members.

That "value generation" isn't 100% theirs to consume should be fair.
With all the negative publicity this IPO is DOA. Not unless they push it out year(s) and do PR. Damage is already done.
Can the creators explain in more detail: how is this different from (for example) the OpenAI cluster that MSFT built in Azure? Is it hosted in an existing cloud provider, or in a data center? Which data center? Who admins the system, is there an SRE team in case it goes down during training? And can you attempt ot run the same benchmarks that Top500 uses to determine what your double precision flops are and give that number in addition to your "10 exaflops" (which I believe is single precision).
There goes the elegance though.
Please don't bring in personal details (even public ones) from elsewhere as ammunition in an argument. I understand the impulse and I'm not saying the information is irrelevant. It's just not worth the cost/benefit of what it does to the threads. It only makes them meaner and more personal. Better to resist the temptation.

Everything's controversial in the land of tipping but it's pretty normal to tip on undiscounted price.
> I’ve noticed that if I respond to people’s emails quickly, they send me more emails.

> It is a truism, too, in workplaces, that faster employees get assigned more work.

Maybe there's irony I'm failing to perceive, but how exactly are these supposed to be good things from the fast worker's viewpoint? The truism is that working quickly is only rewarded by being assigned more work that's expected to be done even faster, which is a vicious circle if ever there was one!
