Michael Seibel is on the board of directors of Reddit.
I don't know what sama's involvement is with YC anymore, but I would imagine that his wishes are taken pretty seriously in SV.

This is why I think the editorializing should be made clear: even if your title edits are in good faith – which I totally buy – you want to protect community trust.
Oh, I'm with you about Solidworks. I'm also not a fan of the kind of pricing, approach, etc that Solidworks has.

Also not at all a fan of Autodesk though, having used Fusion 360 from shortly after it came out. It's lack of working 5-axis CNC support (in any tier) was a turn off, especially when I was building a 5th axis for my (very hobby level) CNC system.

Then they moved CNC into a newly created commercial tier, then they put the 2&3 axis CNC stuff back into standard hobby tier, but leaving the 4&5 axis stuff in commercial tier.

No idea if their 4&5 axis stuff even works properly yet, and I've personally lost interest in the "maker" side of things in the meantime.
> ... nobody wants to take care of things anymore ...

I mean, why would you? It is quite a bit of technical hassle, even for an experienced admin. There's quite a bit of cognitive load just deciding what software stack to use, even before you run an installer. And then you have to maintain it too!

Compare that to less than 3 minutes of sign-up and creation of a new subreddit. It is an orders of magnitude difference in effort and knowledge required.
Seed rounds are usually 10% - 20%, I haven't heard of 43%.
Believe it or not, Comcast is probably right about this.

I'm on a commission in my local municipality that oversees the franchise contract with Comcast, and we've been hung up in negotiations with them for years over the new contract, with the sticking point being "pass-through franchise fees", I think largely pertaining to PEG ("Public, Educational, and Governmental") programming.

The thing to understand about pass-through fees is: they're not Comcast fees. They're municipal taxes collected by providers, which municipalities ask to have labeled as "fees", because they're too chickenshit to acknowledge that they're (in our case) raising $850k pa for "PEG programming" (most of which just goes into the general fund) from Comcast users.

What's crazymaking is that these fees for technical and historical reasons apply to Comcast, but not to AT&T, Comcast's primary regional competitor --- so it's a tax on the customers of a particular company, ostensibly for public access programming, but really that's just a pretense.

I can't blame Comcast in the least for pushing back on having standardized labeling for this kind of thing, which varies from township to township.
I use it all the time, it’s just CSV files you can download. So yea, gonna say anybody who can open excel can do it, which is basically any adult who can use a computer.
That functionality is called "vehicle-to-grid" or V2G sometimes. The F-150 lightning has that capability built in, and there are several companies working to bring devices to market which will act as an interface between the vehicle and your home's electrical panel.
That's not how it's actually going to play out.

As the AI generated content becomes dramatically overwhelming in scale, the human content will become increasingly easy to spot (and there will be multiple cues to the human content that make it fairly obvious). There will be a crossing of the two along the way, in regards to the amount of content generated, a relatively brief time where it will be difficult to tell which is which.

The more AI content there is, and the more it advances, the easier it's going to be to play spot the human. The time in which it'll be hardest to tell them apart, will be in the middle frames rather than in the later stages.
it's only $33/hr if you don't account for idle time (aka on call) and if the company chooses to pay based on trip time instead of per hour.
Reminds me (somewhat?) of the principles by Ray Dalio.

"If we want to improve a skill, we need to know what exactly has to change and what might get us there."
It usually gets contained to a branch however.

You can choose not to engage with that branch and instead start your own.
Thanks, I was about to ask, good thing I searched first!
I like vehement arguments even when I disagree with them.

Based on this man's logic, if I were to run a web forum then I must provide an API or data dump to download the posts created by the users? How about a comment section on my blog? How about a community Discord server? Why not Facebook posts? Or Instagram stories?

I often get the feeling that in these circumstances people derive first principles from specific desired outcomes. Some people strongly desire that the content that has been aggregated on Reddit should be available to them. They then attempt to invent moral axioms that they believe will lead to that outcome. They also seem to reinvent history such that there was some "implicit" agreement between Reddit and the users of Reddit.

IMO, just because I wrote some shitposts on Reddit does not mean that I am entitled access to every single shitpost that has ever been written on Reddit.
In either case, it's interesting though, right? I may be coming across as the free market zealot here, but I don't really understand why special pleading for a class of workers is the right solution here.

If labor conditions are not as good as they're advertised, then isn't the expected outcome here that more people will try to find delivery jobs, resulting in more workers chasing fewer deliveries (assuming prices go up)?
I find that if a restaurant has 4.5 or 5 stars (assuming a decent number of reviews), typically it is very good. However, plenty of the places I eat/enjoy have 3 stars (none have 2 or 1). So I use it as a rough filter for that purpose.

It's also useful for seeing if particular menu items are good, since fake reviews don't typically get into that much detail (or at least there are other real reviews that would outweigh them in search results for that item).

FWIW, I live in silicon valley.
Which cloud vendors are using PGAF?
This is already handled with dataclasses

https://docs.python.org/3/library/dataclasses.html#module-da...

..and the syntax is way better, handling more members, with room to document, handling methods, and not conflicting with Mojo or stdlib
My wife left a bad review for a restaurant and was stalked and harassed by the restaurant owner for years afterwards.

Since she couldn't get Yelp to help with that, it makes every review suspect. It doesn't take much of that behavior to convince people to only leave good reviews, and then they're basically useless.
An issue you may not have considered: if there's enough 250w solar installations to make a regional dent, there's probably enough 250w solar installations to electrify the regional grid sufficiently that the 250w solar installations think there's still utility power and so continue to provide their 250w of solar power to the grid.

Sort of beside the point, but I wanted to say how much I love the subject's whole vibe (to say nothing of her excellent mission). Her home and attire give me strong nostalgic feelings of late-80s after-church events in the SF Bay Area.
YugabyteDB can be self-hosted.
I was going to ask the same. I thought this was very common knowledge for a rather long time.
It's not true "the best chance you have is reading the 14 thousand-line parse.y file and trying to understand it", there are several tools to navigate yacc/bnf style grammars like https://www.bottlecaps.de/convert/ and it's companion https://www.bottlecaps.de/convert/ that make relatively easy to understand/document/debug/compare the grammar.

Just added several ruby grammars here https://github.com/mingodad/plgh/tree/main/ruby they are converted (mainly using https://www.bottlecaps.de/convert/) to an EBNF understood by https://bottlecaps.de/rr/ui to generate navigable railroad diagrams.

Copy and paste the EBNF on https://www.bottlecaps.de/rr/ui on the tab "Edit Grammar" the click on the tab "View Diagram" to see/download a navigable railroad diagram.

I close down my laptop when I'm moving around or when I leave it somewhere while I'm in another part of the building.
Like I've said in the original post, the decision to open-source was made only a while back, after the core was developed as primarily a closed-source service. I decided it'd be very hard to compete with a closed-source CMS, let alone one targeted at DEV, so I decided to go with it - to build community and move the idea forward in general. Still, actually adjusting it to be easily self-hostable will take time, as I wrote here: https://docs.vrite.io/self-hosting

The intention isn't to "talk users into" the hosted version, but just build interest, for which the hosted version serves best at the moment.

Other points r.e. landing page are valid and I'm generally aware that I should focus more on content than design. Easier said than done though :)
Most people aren't looking up techniques on how to work with cutting edge software. Sometimes, even usually, they're more likely to be looking for almost anything else.
How about Hubzilla?
Just disable JavaScript.
That site looks incredibly good.

I threw in a question Wikipedia does kinda answer but leaves a lot of details off, and it enumerated a set of possible answers, with my favored option linking into a forum where it looks like less than a dozen people post, but with people that tried all variations of it and know all of the details.

DDG and Google would never show me that site (yeah, I've tried).
Isn't a treadmill basically that?
Not sure about better, just different since it's strictly an MTA. But perhaps you can also use Fastmail as an MTA only? Biggest benefit I can think of is with SES, Amazon would never see any of your incoming mail. Well, unless you replied to something. Then I suppose they would have access to it indirectly.
Dealing with lack of experience and ego can be very challenging for others.

I wonder what do people gain from calling people dumb or treating them as dumb?
It’s strange that these articles compare to power walls, but not the many other competitors on the market.

Tesla has been aggressively doing everything it can to lose in this market. Other options are LG, Enphase and Generac. (Ordered roughly in increasing size of target install.)

These anker units look pretty impressive, based on kWh, but the article doesn’t mention kw.

One problem with enphase is that you can’t keep scaling kwh without also scaling peak amperage, and their biggest distribution bus only supports 40kwh of batteries.
That wide font is on purpose?! No offense, but I was sure something went wrong with rendering the page.
Zilliz Launches Free Tier Vector Database Service
You ever walk into a room and forget why you walked in?

I think changes in perspective break memory.

Greater changes mean greater breakage.

Walking into another room is a change. sleeping, dying, Weird drugs. Those are also changes.

Also, there is a degree of breakability/flexibility, inherent to the person. Depending on various stuff.

And there are ways to become more flexible too. Less prone to breaking. This leads to phenomena like "lucid dreaming".
This is the best way to reduce bus factor and not fall behind documenting key details!
Yes, this would seem to be a bit of a game-changer on the question. Too bad this appears it’s going to be buried within the HN algo and likely won’t be reported upon seriously in MSM either..
No, absolutely no, people should stop using Chrome if this is the case. Certificate management is challenging, not everyone has budgets like Google to automate this stuff. Just no.
It is indeed an appeal to authority. And, if you read the comment again, you'll see that you're agreeing with me: hearing that JWT is bad surprised the previous commenter precisely because we've stopped having meaningful discussions about whether JWT is good; it isn't, the case is closed, there's not much more to talk about.
I don't disagree, but, and I've said this before, when I go to the doctors, they (mostly specialists) end up giving me multiple options, including doing nothing and want me to decide which. Mtfkr, I didn't go to medical school, tell me what to do. I don't know if it's a liability thing or if there's a body of work saying that empowering patients to make decisions is better, but it's ridiculous. It's one anecdote, but it feels like where it counts, people don't just want to tell you what to do.
In my mind, that leads to the what you're saying. I have also come to the realization, having recently turned 40, that most people, even those we are told to look up to, a. aren't actually that knowledgeable and b. don't really care

Correct, I just used the micropython implementation. So long as I could get it to work in my individual use case it was ok by me, and indeed I had no real trouble getting it to work.

It'd be easy for a reader to ignore a review about the quality of food since that's subjective on the reviewer's personal tastes.

A review claiming paid-for-fraud isn't so easy to wave off.
> Dean began documenting her findings, starting with serial offenders from the Facebook groups. In a list of 17 people who reviewed SavantCare on Yelp, she found what she called “a suspicious pattern”: 10 of them had reviewed the same dentist’s office in Los Angeles, nine had raved about the same California wedding DJ company and five claimed to have visited the same Mountain View tattoo parlor. Five of the accounts, she noticed, had even reviewed the same moving company in Florida.

SMH... I mean, how difficult is it for Yelp to catch this?!? Hire a high school student with interest in data analysis, and you'll catch these idiots quickly.
Even those sometimes require some kind of activation on a network-connected PC or phone. It's probably not very common, but it happens.
Yes infringing on the inherent freedom of corporations to maximize their profit margins is pretty awful
There's the paper that shows ChatGPT outperforming MTurk Crowdworkers and another one showing GPT-4 going to to toe with experts (and blowing past crowdworkers) who set the benchmarks they were evaluating.

https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.15056

If quality is the issue then rest easy lol. The age of state of the art artificial Natural Language Processers being obviously inferior to Human Performance has come and gone.
56 cents/kWh? Wow, that's shockingly high. Where is this? For context, in the Wllamette Valley in Oregon we're presently paying 15.7 cents fully loaded. Absent regulatory charges, it's only about 13.4 cents. People in Oregon would, I think, riot if energy prices quadrupled. Surprised there's not more noise wherever you are (California?).
Or maybe the complete opposite, as it will only be learning patterns created by AI, producing less variance at higher temperatures, ultimately overfitting onto the same bland jargon.
Uh no.
It sounds to me like Yelp is upset that other businesses are trying to do the same thing they do. My friend was GM of a new local restaurant here, and at first they were getting lots of 4 and 5 star reviews and almost none below that. But around the time they were contacted by a Yelp sales rep to start paying for promotion and advertising, the 4 and 5 star review stopped coming. My friend watched multiple people post reviews that never appeared. Then negative reviews started appearing from people that he knew never came in because he was working the host station all day. All this activity was reversed once they started paying for Yelp services. 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.
But they don't need a fancy AI classifier, they already have the text that ChatGPT outputs
I remember when Mongo was first coming out: People would install it, then shove a third normal form schema in it and then complain loudly that it didn't support transactions, foreign constraints or other RDBMS-specific stuff.

Like cold-welding 2' wings on a '55 Thunderbird and then complaining loudly that it makes a lousy airplane.

KNOW YOUR TOOLS. Just like programming languages, each one is likely good a some things and lousy at others, it is up to YOU to know which is the right one for a given need or scenario.

And get off my lawn.
The internet is getting worse. Every comment on here is proof of that. We as tech-people MUST change this, because well, no one else will/cares/wants to.

Let's try to make it easier to make these communities without relying on monopolies.

Long live the open internet.
Apple’s Secret Weapon to Getting PC Games on Mac
I like how he touts Stack Overflow data dumps as an example, even though they also totally sold out and stopped doing the data dumps. They are no better.
I've been bumping into this a bunch trying to research different neighborhoods of Washington, D.C., for an upcoming three-month stay. A lot of useful info is locked up in r/washingtondc right now, with much of it missing from Google's cache and the Wayback Machine. I still support the blackouts—I used to mod a default subreddit—but I wasn't expecting this particular effect!

(Tangentially, anyone know how the Mount Vernon Triangle area is these days?)
My idea doesn’t backfeed to the grid but instead utilizes a load that’s “ON” continuously. Inverter drive fridges can vary their power so they don’t cycle on and off like older fridges with AC motors that only operate at one speed.
You haven’t properly kept a machine alive until the clock rolls over.

I logged into a firewalled Windows VM on EC2 that’s been running an internal micro service that was acting up and it caught my eye that task manager showed an uptime of 6 days making my mind immediately think it might be a bug caused by the recent reboot or perhaps the update that triggered it.

It turns out no reboot had taken place and in fact, the uptime counter had merely rolled over - and not for the first time! Bug was unrelated to the machine and it’s still (afaik) ticking merrily away.

(Our `uptime` tool for Windows [0] reported the actual time the machine was up correctly.)

Yeah, I remember that a fried installed a very early pre-version on his powerbook and we where all blown away.
Discord knows better, this is by design. Their investors would run screaming if they knew what was in those chat logs. The lack of searchability is their biggest defense against being hauled in front of Congress because the public just isn't aware of how much of the platform is extremism.
You'd think there would be some whistleblowers after all of these years of the same allegations. Where are they?
Really isn't, it's about the same as calling a woman a cow.
Doesn't support algebraic data types, though.

FWIW I think this article mentioning them at all is sort of weird because the article doesn't propose them either, lmao
The Hololens 2's PPD are largely fake. There was a writeup somewhere but it's way, way below the stated number.

Varjo is pretty high up there, and they're able to compete in the clarity department. But their headset is non-portable and only supports Nvidia+Windows (at least last time I checked).
Through an IPO. Unless you talk about non-shareholder value, but cares about that nowadays?
I use it to type in Danish and Italian, as it happens (plus Swedish and French every now and then).

Æ, Ø, Å aren't dead keys, they're available via AltGr + Z, L, and W respectively. However, Italian and French accented letters (as well as Swedish/German Ä/Ö) are available via either AltGr or dead keys - and I find myself almost always using dead keys, perhaps because they are more "logical" so I learned them faster.

And of course, typing any kind of quote is a dead key in every language (quote followed by spacebar).

By now, after so many years, dead keys are well in muscle memory so they feel barely any slower to type than regular two-key combos (like uppercase letters).
Taking their calculations at face value, they estimate the fatality rate of Tesla's system as 11.3 deaths per 100 million miles.

That is more than a standard car, but it isn't the most dangerous thing we allow on the road. For example, the fatality rate of riding a motorcycle is 31.64 deaths per 100 million miles.

The per-mile risk of a self-driving Tesla is roughly the same (within the range of estimates this source gives) as the per-mile risk of riding a bicycle.

source: https://bicycleuniverse.com/bicycle-safety-almanac/

It doesn't really make sense to ban this new technology which is basically in the middle of the pack in terms of risk. Personally, I don't have a Tesla, and I would be reluctant to use their self-driving technology. But I don't ride motorcycles either. I don't think we should ban either of those things; consenting adults should be allowed to take the one-in-a-million risk that is driving ten miles in a self-driving Tesla, just like they are allowed to ride motorcycles.
fun story. I know a guy who designed a high precision refrigerator for storing vaccines. These fridges need to be able to maintain temperature to within some relatively small margin to avoid destroying the vaccines, and they needed to be able to withstand extended periods of no power since they would be stationed in places with questionable infrastructure. The main solution was to use a large water reservoir, it would "store most of the cool" while the power was out, also helped a lot with keeping the temperature stable when there was power.
Excellent article, I look forward to the updates.

As a Meta Quest 2 owner, and Android user, I'm a bit of an Apple-skeptic when it comes to their pricing on some products; but I have to acknowledge that while the Vision Pro seems mad-expensive on first reveal, it doesn't seem to be poor value going by the previews and specs, which seems to match the article's conclusions.

That is where the Quest Pro seems to have failed - at least at its initial pricing it was very difficult to see the added value matching the price premium.

Apple - at several times the price of the Quest Pro here - has me rooting for it as a considerably more serious product at a relatively-justified serious price in what is an uncertain undertaking.
This is the same logic in avoiding link-only answers on Stack Overflow. They’re both good rules.
Is there a reason web scrapers aren't used for public sites with content? It seems like this would avoid the pitfalls of APIs and changing terms and prices?
> Windows 7 could be called the pinnacle of the use of Frutiger Aero in UI design when Apple already started to move away and embrace material design.

Windows Media Center was the origins of the Metro UI, Windows Phone 7 was the industries 21st century intro to a typography first flat design.

Sadly the good design aspects of Windows Phone 7 mostly got forgotten about by the time Windows 8 came along, IMHO it is because WP7 had a small dedicated design team compared to whatever large group I imagine did Windows 8.
Oof, seems like that should be a instance setting (with user override), not the whole software. Good to know.
they use mturk in LLM and other generative AI research as operationalized human evaluation
