This is no different the open source/free software. Just because you created some software, and it became popular, and a large contributing community, and you started 1% of the value, does not mean you either created most of the value, or get to extract it. Attempts to do so basically always fail.

The argument that it would not have happened without you is almost always wrong - it is almost always a mistake to assume success is simply because of your choices, and not lots of factors. This is one reason repeat success is very very very rare.

I'm not saying they have no legal right to try - of course they do. I'm just saying it doesn't work because nobody thinks they should be allowed to let it work.

How they run the site and whether they need to make a profit is of no consequence to users - they don't give a shit. You can't make them give a shit. It wasn't who they attracted. They don't have a 100 million users who want them to make a profit. They have 100 million users who don't give the slightest crap about whether they make any money at all.

Yes, trying to generate profit on value they don't create is freeloading. Quite literally, in fact. It is the literal definition of freeloading to try to extract value by taking advantage of what others do. You don't argue they create the value, but instead because they own the platform they are allowed to extract it.

Legally, yes. But that's sort of irrelevant. Socially, no.

The crux of your argument is basically "if my ideology is right than investors are dumb and this is a bad investment"
I would agree with that. It was always a bad investment. It still is!

Precisely because freeloading of the kind they are doing always generates enough ire over time to ruin the community. Usually before you can extract enough profit to be worth it.

You can feel sorry for platforms, and for me, that's okay. But you still haven't shown that i'm actually wrong, and in fact, what i've said is backed up by the consistent failure of things that operate the way you seem to think is okay.

I mostly feel sad for you. You seem to have forgotten somewhere along the line that corporations as a kind of entity were created to serve society (not investors), and not the other way around.

I'm not saying all things this large should be non-profit, mind you, just that the kind of skimming that reddit is trying to do, where they think they can make a few bucks in profit per user through freeloading, while providing nothing in return, is neither helpful to society, and doesn't work anyway!

There are more symbiotic for-profits that realize they need their communities to want them to succeed, and do okay.

Put another way - for profits running hosting like Reddit where they think their profit is more important than the communities, and that they are the reason for the success of those communities, basically always fail.
Those smart enough to realize neither of these are true sometimes can make a go of it.
>Is Sweden one of those countries where people can afford to retire? Because they have about the same rate of 75+ year olds working as the US.

From the very link you provided, regarding Sweden: "a succession of policy choices have pushed older people into work".

And from the report they link to:

"The latest pension reform (a defined contribution scheme) has increased the economic incentives to work longer. Parallel, it has become more difficult to get a disability pension even for only medical reasons. (...) Several political decisions were also taken from the early 1990s on to counteract early retirement and increase the actual retirement age. (...) There is a clear socio-economic gradient in the age of retirement. Low-skilled jobs have lower wages and worse working conditions, work environment and occupational protection. The difference in “lost years”, i.e. the number of years that people exit from the labour market before reaching age 65, between early and late exit jobs amounts to 4.82 years for men (“Other sales and services elementary occupations” compared to “College, university and higher education teaching professionals”). For women, the difference is 5.55 years."

Rather than some socialist paradise, as is the stereotype of Sweden in the US (well, though compared to which, it might very well be), the political establishment there has been increasingly pushing neoliberal reforms for decades now.
That can't be right. The human FoV is huge, more than 180 degrees. To cover that range without visible pixels requires much more than "4k" type resolution.

Either one of those statements can be right. Not both at the same time.

I think the admins will care more about the appearance of "business as usual" in the face of an IPO than the opinions of the users who would notice a moderator replacement.

In their eyes, this is all nothing more than a tempest in a teapot; a small pothole on the road to public investor dollars.
Sure, which is why I ignore 4chan. I don't want or need to be associated with/exposed to that crowd. I was just very surprised to hear it described as egalitarian and accessible. It's the cesspool that all other cesspools are measured by.
That may work, but I need a way to install it first... nice idea though
Yes Model Y price drops are very recent hence it's such a deal.

I remember reading newspapers and magazines and watching TV in the 80's and 90's and for the most part, they all seemed to have a unified (left-leaning) perspective on everything. There was the occasional Rush Limbaugh or Bill O'Reilly, but back then, even they tread _very_ carefully - they would deviate maybe a little bit from the maintstream opinion but not much, at least not looking back on it.

I didn't see things the way the news saw them on almost anything. At the time, I thought I must be the only one who disagreed on so many points - after all, if anybody thought like I thought, there would have to be at least some newspaper somewhere that was printing it. But there wasn't.

Then the internet came along, and people could chat and argue with each other without a newspaper or magazine or TV editor getting in between. I found out that there were a lot of people who thought the way I did. A lot of people who disagreed with the dominant news media viewpoint that was 90% identical.

I think there was an initial rush of people who took voicing that disagreement to a bit of an extreme when the internet was new, but that's sort of subsided now - there are full grown adults with college degrees and jobs and mortgages who've been on the internet their whole lives and can't _remember_ when all media was as tightly controlled as Reddit's /r/politics subreddit.

Now the push back is becoming more serious, less "edgy" and more potentially disruptive and even a threat to the people who've made their livings and fortunes censoring debate - it should come as no surprise that there's such a push to get the genie back into the bottle.

Whilst I agree that copyright is absurdly long - changing that isn't going to prevent people from creating updates that suit their whims (look at the Winnie the Pooh (original) cartoons people are able to create because that fell out of copyright recently.

Yes, because people never lie. Or save safe. Or tell a happier or sadder story than is the case.
I fear that, basically, decloak's little hot sauce and menu website might be the cause of this. His basic premise seemed like he was arguing that tables can easily describe the UI's we seek.

CSS was indeed, very difficult to make lines go from the top to the content bottom. Or 15 to 20 other various quirks that only worked in IE or only in Firefox or what have you.

I can only guess that Chrome programmers hated that website so much they decided to use it as a way to champion new CSS features. Thus instead of having 0.89 ways (a.k.a. almost there + hack) to accomplish something in CSS, there are 15 ways to do it now.

Is that good? Maybe

I've gotten a little flak from people when I mention since GPT learns from the work of humans, it would only be a matter of time before the lawsuits come rolling in.

> a small number of users mod the vast majority of Reddit

I think it's more like there are a small number of users who are mods on a huge number of subs, but there are other mods that focus more directly on the actual moderation of those subs.
While many people define gain-of-function in virology as "enhancing existing attributes which would promote virulence", molecular biologists in general are more open to the idea that other functions, such as gene therapy, would also qualify as gain-of-function.

Either way my point was that we actively use a known highly transmissible virus, with some parts removed, under the general assumption that it's safe, and it's been demonstrated to not cause large issues (compared to other problems in gene therapy). I think people should be aware of that and in some sense I am surprised there isn't more attention placed on this practice.
The actual quote from Gruber was "There is no border in the field of vision — your field of view through Vision Pro exactly matches what you see through your eyes without it."

> The abuse is directed at everyone; no matter what opinion you share, no matter who you are, you will be verbally abused in a variety of ways.

Yeah, this is what people misunderstand about 4chan. Obviously my race gets a lot of flak, but I've even seen racial slurs about white Europeans I've never heard anywhere else.

I'm not saying it's morally right, but it feels more of a hazing tactic than legitimate hatred. Once you pass that filter you have access to some interesting information.
This is awesome. As a curious outside observer of Christianity, I don't know what to think about it. Is it satire? A curiosity? Ironically, the churches that are experimental and brave enough to put on this show are probably the least robotic in their world view and sermons and visa versa. I'm glad there are churches that are confident enough in their faith to be able to take a step back like this and enjoy the zeitgeist.

I beg to differ. There are genuine, profound, even Socratic conversations which freely happen on various threads that essentially can not occur elsewhere on the clearnet. No idea is invalid, no topic taboo, and each thread and each post must stand alone on their own merit. This is all on top of a large number of deep and wide recurring hobby generals that are both beginner friendly and highly technical.
It is more free than any website you can think of off the top of your head.

Others may have covered this but I think you should have the landing page be the site itself, that will be an good advertisement rather than a product sell page. Also, the tags are interesting, but I find them distracting and would rather a single 'upvote' count with specific tags. The navigation needs some improvements, the submit button is somewhat hidden near the top and should be made more prominent (grey on darker grey is hard to see). Other than that, I have been interested in a similar payment model for sometime.
> Such data may be useful, it says, to “identify every person who attended a protest or rally based on their smartphone location or ad-tracking records.”

"May"? This is exactly how the January 6th protestors were identified.
But you can get alternatives which have the telemetry removed. Like VSCodium and some Firefox forks. And instead of every distro needing to do those patches themselves, they can share the effort.
I dont think of Autism (as someone who has it) as a disability - even though it does make me different (normal people and their societal norms are often baffling to me, but I still follow those norms to the extent I am able).

I don't want others to think of me as disabled either (though a little understanding might be nice when I fail to mask well enough).

Maybe the problem is how we treat the disabled, not the words we use to talk about disability?
> The toxicity/chaos of the place is probably the main thing that enables it to continue to be a village

How so, are you thinking?

After reading OP, my guess is that maybe you're suggesting it's the way the toxicity/chaos keeps too many people from joining, that helps keep it a village? Helps keep it smaller, or less rate of newcomers, since so many find it distasteful?

But maybe you mean something else? What are you thinking about how the toxicity/chaos might be the main thing that enables it to continue as a village? How might it do that?
But you do know that the original one is the one in Louvre and saw a least a detailed photo of it, maybe even the real thing. Racist, misogynist or whatever, the art in its original form is still there.

When the books are censored the opposite happens. The original in the people's mind changes and the original nuances of the art is lost. Moreover we lose our understanding of progress. The change of the worldview and the values is an important part of understanding art.

If we would like to show the progress we made and our current values, we should create our own classics for generations to read and understand us, rather than muddying the water between us and the previous generations.

Trying it now...it will only let you import 100 photos at a time, and you need to single select each one (My Instagram has hundreds and hundreds of photos going back a decade).

So far nothing has actually imported. Not sure how long I should wait.
It'd be funny if the engineers at reddit decided now was a good time to upgrade postgres or do some other kind of scheduled maintenance, and just not worry about downtime because the blackout is on anyway.
It's more egalitarian and accessible than any other social media I can think of, yes.

In 4chan a literal nazi, a drag queen, a bona-fide pedophile and a luddite can exchange opinions with no prejudice, because none of them know anyone else's background.

You might think that these people can't talk about certain things, but any subject in which discussion becomes too caustic simply doesn't even take place in other platforms, and not every discussion is a life or death discussion, they can talk about photography just fine.
Kids eventually need to understand those things, and maybe once they're old enough it could make sense to buy a 20th century edition and try to spot the differences and figure out why they were changed. But before that can happen, kids need to understand the basics first. If I'm teaching someone how to play chess, I'm not going to introduce an en passant until they've established they understand the more common ways in which a pawn moves.

Is there any indication that children who were read those stories from hundreds of years ago ended up kind, caring, mentally resilient, etc...with whatever traits parents want to instill in their children today?
I imagine a previously not-stress-tested component that has to do with searches/fetches with private subreddits went kaboom.

Not too much of a stretch, IMO.

You know what’s really truly private?

It’s what you said. The real world. Meet a friend. It’s as private as it gets.

Pick a small friend for true micro experience. :D

Jokes aside, unplug. And it doesn’t have to be that we build things at a world scale. But isn’t it amazing that we can and do build stuff at this scale.

Devs often don’t use tech as much as regular users! They build, and forget the use.

> Have you ever tried to recompile 1 yr old code in Rust with the latest compiler?

I have, more than once; it worked perfectly fine.

The only time it's broken for me is when the code had unstable nightly-only features, hidden behind a "nightly-only" feature flag, which was rejected by the parser on a newer Rust compiler, even though it would not be compiled due to the feature flag being disabled (even though it wouldn't be compiled, it still had to be parsed; IIRC, it was the change to the inline assembly syntax, and the fix was just to change from "asm" to "llvm_asm").
My guess is that they knew the caches would get blown out and would have to refill with content from non-blacked out subs, and decided to just take the hit and let it ride, knowing it would recover itself soon enough.

I mean, honestly that's probably what I would have done if I were still in charge.
Corporations can now win lawsuits against labor unions for economic damages. So, expect this propaganda to lead to the destruction of UPS's union following another lawsuit.
Ask HN: Are there any good alternative desktop UIs for ChatGPT?
I prefer the experience of the GPT-4 model via the API over what you get with ChatGPT. I also like being able to control both sides of the conversation. I'm looking for:

Chat interface that calls out the OpenAI API. Does not call the ChatGPT app.

Either a MacOS desktop app or web UI I can run locally.

Controlling both sides of the conversation and the system prompt, like OpenAI's playground.

Memory of conversations, like ChatGPT.

Any options?
> As it stands I don't make any money on this, I just do it for fun. But with a site like non.io there's no reason for me _not_ to post my content there.

I’m obviously not targeting this at you but a business model likes this (paying fractions of a penny per upvote) is not likely to attract high quality content. In fact the opposite it incentives a quantity over quality approach (i.e. content has to be just good enough to get upvoted spending more effort is wasted)
A long time IMO, because that would just escalate the situation. At this point they are going to wait and see in the hopes that the majority of people lose interest after a few protests. Then they can just push through the changes.

If they take over these subs, you just radicalise the users, and you now have to find new moderators for these subs. In a worst case scenario, users actually start migrating to another platform.
What if the Jack Daniels company had introduced a self-parodic dog toy called Bad Spaniels with the same design? Wouldn’t that actually be pretty good marketing for them? I think lots of whiskey-loving dog owners would buy that toy from Jack Daniels and be quite happy about it.

How would a casual observer distinguish that possibility from the true scenario, when the design was intentionally quite similar to the Jack Daniels design and a self-parody is not at all unlikely?

And if you accept that this isn’t easy to distinguish: if the third-party Bad Spaniels toy has some safety problem that causes dogs or small kids to suffer and requires a recall, wouldn’t that unjustly hurt the reputation of Jack Daniels for anyone who does get confused as to the origin of the product?

Makes sense to me that they’d care. This kind of thing is the whole point of trademark law.

> The idea that it isn't succeeding because unnamed bureaucrats is misleading.

You use two distinct definitions of success here. As a means to transfer value beyond governmental control, Bitcoin has succeeded. You can do it any time, provided you are fine with your value stored in Bitcoins.

The other definition is "anybody can use it without the fear of ever being scammed and the regulators can not make using it inconvenient or legally dangerous". This is obviously impossible - the regulators can declare anything they want to be illegal (even the Constitution is only a weak impediment, and it does not have any barriers preventing financial regulation, and as long as people do transactions, they could scam each other. This is absolutely unrealistic and non-sensical definition of "success" - nobody ever could deliver on this, including every existing payment system, where people get absolutely scammed all the time.
