This, at least subreddits are relatively stable, public and searchable. There is so much knowledge hidden inside huge chat logs of semi-public Discord servers which might disappear at any minute and is hard to retrieve, unless that server maintains a wiki or something similiar.

> The distinction I learned was: any time you have multiple logical threads of execution you have concurrency, any time you have multiple computations happening simultaneously, you have parallelism.

I like this distinction as it also splits the different problem domains quite well. And I don't think it contradicts my definition as much as you might think.

When you have an embarrassingly parallel program you do not have to deal with the problems that come from data dependencies and synchronization of your simultaenously running compuations on different threads/machines. You do not really have to think about your computation running in parallel, but just about how to put them into different execution environments to run them concurrently. So you end up doing "concurrent programming".

When you do not have an embarrassingly parallel program, you still use the base concepts of running something concurrently (e.g. threads), but now your main focus shifts on how the multiple compuations can happen simultaneously. Now you end up doing "parallel programming" or parallel computation.

In the end, the terminolgy here is less than ideal. My main point was that some kind of distinction matters as TFA clearly discusses different topics from what many people think about from a web dev perspective (e.g. async, futures, etc.)
Could you also argue that most people "don't need" VR either? I'd even wager it's less convenient than a physical metaphor for computing like the smartphone.
Since you raised concerns about the climate, I'm going to assume you agree with the concept that when people exploit the environment (e.g. nickel mines) it takes a long time for the environment to recover (thousands or millions of years). The environment is a resource for humanity since we need it to survive and it has a particular regeneration rate.

Similarly, humans need the production of humanity to survive, let's call that the cultural resource. People who want to do activities and have adventures and travel to see things exploit this cultural resource to do so -- literally, in a second law of thermodynamics sense. Now, this cultural resource takes time to recover just like the climate, but unlike the climate the mechanism of regeneration is people. People create technologies, art, places, activities, adventures, medicine, and provide all sorts of goods and services. By doing so, they regenerate this shared cultural resource.

Now, again, the population itself is a resource with a regeneration rate. However, people themselves exploit this resource primarily through their own birth and death, and themselves are the mechanism of regeneration through sexual reproduction.

I assume that none of this is a surprise to you, but only that you might not think of them in this way of being resources and having regeneration mechanisms.

Consider then that if you don't want the environmental resource to be exhausted (vs unrestricted free market capitalism) and you don't want the human population resource to be exhausted (vs death cults) but you also want to allow the free exploitation of the cultural resource (vs totalitarianism or the historical results of communism), then you need the people that opt-out of the population regeneration mechanic -- having and raising children -- to disproportionally contribute the maintenance of this mechanic and be happy to do so.

If enough folks opt-out (because reasons) and are unwilling to help families ("alone and my way"), then that is demonstrably parasitic and exactly equal to voting for the collapse of the population.

So let's talk about a 99% rate of defection (opting out). If you begin with a stable population in generation 1 and want a stable population in generation 2, then this population is demanding that the 1% of the gen 1 population regenerate themselves to create gen 2. This is tantamount to reproductive slavery. It gets even worse if those defectors are also unwilling to disproportionally support the population raising children. It will be a literal hell for those people. They would form a underclass worse than in the Handmaid's Tale. Literally farmed.

So, at a 99% defect rate, it is objectively true that defectors, individually and collectively, are parasites of the environment, the culture, and humanity.

At a 5% defect rate, it's probably tolerable. At 20%, one out of five, it's probably already unsustainable.

The bottom line is that we all need to share the burden of having and raising children.
You are on point I think - 10-15 years ago gamification became a generally fashionable thing to pursue to drive engagement, consumption and market shit. But most of it doesn’t really work because it’s not usually implemented very well. This is what we had initially with our medical training example - the developers just slapped some trophies and achievements and expected it to just work. Of course when we started user testing we found that people agreed with the general idea but didn’t really use it and found the clutter confusing. We’re still working on having gamification because we really do just want them to feel like it is a game, but it’s no easy feat to do it well. Thankfully with hard evidence from all the user testing we have the arguments to dial it back.
I agree completely.

Same exact core, with the underlying transistor layout optimized for density instead of clockspeed and less L3.

TBH Renior and Cezzane seem like "Zen 2C" and "Zen 3C" without the marketing. Their caches and clockspeeds were cut the same way, though they didn't have the area reductions Zen 4C has IIRC.
Google has Spanner. AWS is working on something similar. And both have YugabyteDB in their marketplace. Those are Distributed SQL (Global ACID), not Citus. For DataWarehouse which doesn't need ACID, there are other services.

I've only ever ordered gig-economy delivery a handful of times and stopped because of how expensive it was. That being said I have some friends who order restaurant delivery upwards of five times a week. They must not be deterred by the cost and I genuinely wonder how much more prices would need to increase in order to break their habit.
Similarly with Quora.

I ditched Quora when they had a similar policy change as Reddit, which I disagreed with (honestly, I cannot recall what the kerfuffle was about, but I deleted my Quora account and never went back.) I hate when quora pops up in results.

Original title (too long for HN's form field): What's up with admins taking over a major subreddit (r/AdviceAnimals), re-opening it, and banning any mention of it?
A week or two on the personal computer. I usually hibernate it when not using it.
Some banks have a service where if you use your card for ongoing regular payments and the card is replaced for any reason, the bank will allow those regular charges to continue on the new card when the service provider uses the old number.

It's very convenient if that's what you want -- it means you don't have to go to all of the ongoing services to update your card immediately. But it does mean that you can't count on changing a card to stop unwanted ongoing charges.

I recently replaced a card at my bank, and they offered this as an opt-in service (which I opted in to), but I hear that some banks make it opt-out, instead.
My theory is that death is different than taking propofol or some other anesthesia because while you are taking those drugs, your cells are still living. Your brain cells are not dieing and producing decomposition chemicals everywhere.

I think that's in the difference. When dead, your cells all decompose and start releasing and forming decomposition compounds which flood your brain and body. Not to mention your cells becoming fundamentally broken and unable to do their jobs.

My theory is that there's a fundamental system in the brain that gives us our sense of self gives us our sense of "this is me, and that is everything else". And that slowly goes away to the point where you can't distinguish the difference between self and other and you become everything.
> … they just make simple code which I can understand with a glance.

That locks the team into “as smart as me, but no smarter” and doesn’t really scale beyond very small teams and very rote work. One person rarely has all the ability plus all of the “on the ground” context that’s necessary to do great work across a larger system.

It’s more important IMHO to require devs to communicate what they’re doing at a design level, to help them set clear goals and define (and enforce) boundaries. Far too often I’ve seen seniors go nuts “fixing” a system that in some theoretical sense was broken but for all practical purposes worked just fine, while neglecting things that were truly issues for the organization. Note that this is primarily a management issue, mainly a lack of oversight and control.

What’s shocking is everyone can wrap their heads around regular country post offices, emails, in general distinct entities interacting, but lose their minds when you tell them about mastodon.

Just tell them it’s email for twitter. Just like you can interact with anyone who’s email address you know so too with their mastodon handle. The only real difference is that everyone also publishes all their “emails” for anyone to see instead of sending them privately.
> It's a broader internet problem in general - "trending" algorithmic reinforcement stuff will push everyone towards the ONE TRUE BEST HOTTEST MOST POPULAR bbq/ramen/whatver place, when probably there's half a dozen other options within 10% of taste and quality, that some people very well could legitimately like better if they heard about them too.

Instagram doesn't help -- gotta get a shot of me eating noodles at the hot new place! There's a new ramen shop in downtown San Mateo that has a 30-person line outside at all times... I can't imagine it's that much better than the half-dozen other ramen places within 3 blocks, but by god it's new, and anyway would people be lining up like this if it wasn't good? I better get in line too...

> they think their intelligence in one area means they’re qualified to make assessments or reach conclusions in fields outside of their own. This would be the same error in judgment that’s turned the nootropic and longevity industries into billion dollar ones.

I agree there are a lot of know-it-alls here, but I don't believe this is why quackery sells or even that anyone on here makes up a meaningful share of their business. Nobody cares or listens to this bunch of nerds shouting into the void, not even themselves.

Bringing intelligence into this is a red herring. It sells because people are willing to take a risk on what seems like a shortcut to better health. Irrational decisions like this are not correlated with intelligence, and here we are overthinking it.

The problem is that the open internet is dying. What used to be blogs and forums now is Reddit. Tens of thousands (hundreds of thousands?) of communities that had their own wiki, blog, forum, ... are now reduced to be a Subreddit.

Some people argue that blogs are the answer to a more centralized or impersonal web. I disagree. Reddit answers and comments are better than blogs, which are full of ads, SEO-spam, signup forms, and generic and vague copywritten filler . Reddit comments are written by actual humans who are either looking for answers, or are supplying incisive answers or explanations, not filler. And most importantly, based on unbiased, personal, first-hand experiences. Many bloggers are paid to promote products and are not fully honest, or do not use the products they endorse. If you want to know if interment fasting works, instead of reading a vague blog about the benefits of fasting or having to sign up to a newsletter, why not read actual people's experiences with it.
So you want to live in a world where only companies with massive ad budgets breakthrough to end users? The ad empire only strengthens media/big app lock in.
A big part is that a lot of the internet isn't available to google anymore.

Lots of good forums just have a robots.txt with "Disallow: /". Google can be a pain. People use DMCA in flagrantly illegal ways, etc, so lots of places just opt out of being easily found.

Then, as others have said, there are the discord etc, or irc style, that have never been very searchable, but have lots of good content.

It is fracturing back to more like it used to be?

HN has never operated by upvotes alone. It would be a completely different site if it were (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...). HN a curated, moderated site and always has been, and we've always been completely open about this.

And it seems we're emulating that same cycle. Humans are trained not only on our own output, but also take changes from our environment. So in this sense LLM's environment would be human input.

Or an opportunity for google to buy reddit? Seems google knows how to monetize and knows how to search. They do already have one huge successful online community (youtube). Yeah, I don't have much faith in google management and buyouts either, but maybe..?

I have no issue with editing click-bait titles in general, but specifically with adding a "?" where none is required and where it misrepresents the article's content. Your further title edit just strikes me as retaliatory and punitive; it does not encapsulate the article's position in the way the original did and is so uninteresting it's likely to discourage any further attention. You may not think the article deserves attention, but the users apparently disagree—no one in the thread has complained that it is a click-bait article, and people here have a hair-trigger for that sort of stuff.
I agree that decentralization would be great for social media because anything successful would have to solve some interesting problems that would push social media forward as a tool.

Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, email etc all have fairly complex vocabularies for curating your experience:

Domains, Subscriptions, Hashtags, Likes, Subscriptions, Downvotes, Bans, Replies, Subreddits, Groups, Posts, Retweets, Follow, etc.

These concepts caught on because they were presented in a gradual, simplistic way, even though they represent the workings of a complicated organism.

Basically what I'm saying is that Federation may be one more layer of complexity, but the vocabulary is already present for users- they've had a pretty long tutorial on social media. 99% of social media sites are aware that user growth requires removing friction and that includes typically dumping people into a "default" area, then allowing them to customize their experience. I think this kind of funnel would be necessary for federation, even though a "default experience" is kind of the antithesis of federation.
It's sometimes hard to believe but honest people do exist.
It's different in that IRC is designed & understood to be short lived real time chat. Who cares if I can't find that type of content via Google? Discord is being used as a permanent info repository, like a replacement for discussion boards, wikis, etc. This is the type of info I want to search for.
That's Reddit for you, the actual site doesn't really serve the needs of many of its users, so they had to invent workarounds like "run a bot that auto-bans people that post in r/placewehate".

But the actual dynamic of that to me seems to resemble what you get under federation. It's just that Reddit doesn't let people do it easily, so weird workarounds are needed.
Labor stats are not as good as they're advertised, and these jobs aren't as bad as we're told. Both sides exaggerate (while still being kinda true)
Yeah, I think we are agreeing that the dividing lines are "how they approach things", I just have a very different idea of the approaches to divide. Vite stills "smells" to me like Webpack because it takes a "kitchen sink" approach and I keep finding that I don't need kitchen sinks in my living rooms when all I want is a sofa in there (the occasional spot-bundle of maybe even just a single lone dependency via esbuild; to bend the metaphor near to its breaking point).

The "pitfalls" of Webpack et al, as I've come to see them included that "everything is nearly always bundled and the bundle should always support everything and the kitchen sink" mentality that Vite inherited pretty directly from Webpack. (API instability and speed were rarely my worst problems with Webpack. Obviously everyone's mileage has varied here.) It's the "kitchen sink approach" that I find a useful marker for "last generation" and why I find it useful to lump Vite into that group.
Isn’t the gist of this fairly old news? Or did they just not have the names before?
No, because of Baantjer.
That's very disappointing.

I've liked Anker products, starting with being able to get quality batteries for older laptops and handhelds. Today, I'll lean towards the Anker brand for any product, when I see it in Amazon search hits (amidst the hundred random-brand-spam listings for the same cheap product, and the handful of hits for real brands likely commingled with counterfeits).

If it turns out that Anker only made the mistake of hiring a stereotypical criminally-negligent/insidious IoT product team, then healing could begin by Anker dragging every person responsible out to the parking lot, and telling them to go defecate on some other brand. Because the value of Anker is trustworthiness.
