What shows are you complaining about and what are your actual issues?

Are you just complaining about Ted Lasso and how the show was a little too campy in the last season and how they dared to address racism and homophobia in a few episodes and you think they are not important? If anything the bigger complaint is that they introduced those plot points only to quickly forget them.

I find the shows in general surprisingly good for a relatively new service. Silo, Foundation, mythic quest, Severance, The After-party, Invasion, City on Fire, See, etc have all been great. If there is one complaint, they seem to have a strict "Foul language and graphic violence are ok, but absolutely no nudity" rule. Ruined a plot line a little bit in Platonic, where it was plainly obvious the characters were going to find out a way to not go to a strip club, despite discussing the logistics for like five minutes.

So does Second Life. It's just that the asset formats are unusual.

You can't really prevent people from downloading game assets. You may be able to prevent them from reselling them as their own, by recognizing duplicates. The Open Simulator people are working on change-tolerant hashing algorithms for this.
(1) the browser is an application platform so devs are users as well, (2) making it harder to develop good UX by not following the spec _does_ make the experience worse for end users, and (3) "hovering elements and overlays" were just a couple of examples - there are tons of reasons why devs need to reliably know where the boundary of the fucking screen is.

I can no longer read things like this without imagining it coming from the mouth of Gavin Belson on an episode of Silicon Valley. That show ruined my objectivity for this kind of b.s. corporate speak. It belongs in the 1990s or 2000s at the latest.
IMHO it absolutely does not matter what the internal investigation determined and how the doorbell interaction went, it is unacceptable to disable the purchased equipment no matter what - even if they were literally convicted of a felony. If a company wants to stop future sales to a certain customer, that's fine, but all past purchases should still work.

Surely someone is already doing this? It wouldn't be especially expensive, but even if it were we could probably crowdfund it easily enough.
To be clear, are you talking about building a centrifuge attached to the ISS that's large and safe enough for humans to spend time in? Because that seems like an absolutely massive engineering effort, probably comparable to the work that went into the ISS itself.

> in line with either imgur's prices

These things are different though, we must admit. Imgur used to be much bigger, but today hardly pulls the same audience volume that Reddit or Twitter do, for instance. I don't think Imgur could get away with API pricing like Twitter is, and Reddit will soon be.

> I expect that the reddit premium price is far above the ad revenue from a mildly engaged user.

Given the number of ads you see while browsing via the official app, I would peg it around $2 per user per month (which mostly aligns with my previous statements and estimates, as well as with API pricing), for someone that uses Reddit for 1-2 hours daily. I suspect, without evidence and can be wrong, that 1-2 hours daily is typical for a mildly engaged Reddit user.

Apollo doesn't need to drop free users - they need to get revenue from them. If not directly, then via ads. Although that seems antithetical to what Apollo was trying to create... but reality has come knocking.

If you already write a lot of Elixir for it's application-level superpowers, then being able to hammer out a script in a language you're fresh on is nice. Combine that with better developer ergonomics (package handing in Python is inane, for one), and it's not a bad choice.

No one should be learning Elixir solely for the purpose of writing short, one-off scripts, though.
So the conversation of what might happen occurred before the site was created?
The original audiences saw them projected on film and the resolution was fantastic. I believe the contrast was not as good as an OLED TV or Dolby Cinema though.
When operating a complex system like Reddit, you know that something is going to happen during a significant event, but you generally don't know exactly what will break first.

What's worse is that the system evolved as a response to the previous similar event, and what broke now is probably not what had broken in the past.
Although I use the term "virtualization" the same way as you want to understand it, containers are still called "virtualization", as this wikipedia page suggests:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS-level_virtualization

Good to know about it. Especially once you meet decades-experienced folks (mainframe guys), they rather use the word "virtualization" in its broader sense, yet they understand the difference between containers and virtual machines.

Well, sons too, but they were a net positive because they worked and brought money home.

If women were allowed to work for (non-trivial) money in traditional indian culture they'd be a net positive too.
Honestly, looks as reasonable as anything else about this thing.
tell that to reddit though - they seem to be fine with the current situation and plan to keep the same mods until death do them part
yes that’s the approach most people using. the thing is, some users may have access to gpt-4 themselves, or company paid for it and they want to use it with our service (and to make it more “reasonable”, the developer do not have access to gpt-4)
Surely this isn't true in small to medium sized towns? Perhaps in cities but you could probably say the same thing of anywhere in the world? The coffee shop/local bar where everyone knows each others name is a staple in American shows, there must be at least a grain of truth in it.

> your point is based solely on speculations

no, we have a reasonable extrapolation based on a worldview based in how the world operates. "if you need more than this call for pricing" is a trope and i've never seen a thing go up in price per unit when you guarantee a certain amount of revenue per year. flex capacity and pricing is more expensive than guaranteed traffic.

Thank you very much for your replies. :)

They're not misunderstanding it they just don't accept your model of its value.

No matter what your ethnicity someone on 4chan will make a joke about genociding you. The difference is that some people in the world actually are doing genocides. And someone from one of those groups, knowing that, is going to experience those jokes differently.

4chan, (and to a serious degree, HN) places the duty and the transgression on the person who has the bad experience with the genocide joke. But a completely valid model is actually that no, the genocide joke is the transgression and the one making it the transgressor.

4chan is not separate from the world it is part of it. And by fostering this environment you're providing cover for atrocities. Because not everyone is there just to have a fun time saying slurs! Some of them really do want us to die, and 4chan isn't just a diversion it is an actual site of conversion and radicalization towards their goals.
I operate a certain health condition subreddit. The main subreddit for this condition is highly toxic (which is why I created an alternative a few years ago).

Anyway, it turns out the primary (toxic) subreddit for this condition is taking part in the strike, so a lot of users have come over to my alternative subreddit, and they are glad to have found it because they were getting fed up with the toxicity of the other place.

Unfortunately I'm sure it will be back to normal in a couple of days.
Oh that's awesome. I didn't know about this (or not sure when it was released.)

edit: it's been out since 2015 it looks like. Not sure why but I didn't know about this before. It would have been useful.

Actually, let's do call them protesters. If you want to get universal agreement on the need for privacy regulations, you need to present it a way that does not immediately turn away your intended audience.

When both sides really agree on something, it's amazing how fast it gets done. Which, of course, is why there are people trying to hard to keep both sides from ever agreeing.
And (unless you manually fix your verification approach) they trust the (unverified at that time) header to declare the signature method used... Which at one point many implementations would accept as "null".

So you could take a signed JWT, strip the signature, and set the header to indicate to the verified a null signature was verified.
Why is sorting not done by specialised hardware? Or is it already?
I honestly believe that Reddit has ad targeting figured out in the form of subreddits.

Second, Reddit had/has an opportunity to hear to actually dictate the ad placement rules themselves. They don’t need to promise a certain number of placement, but rather a certain number of clicks.

Finally, they could have made the ad API something that’s locked behind a human review until the app got popular enough. I agree that it’s simply not worth it to fully automate this. Realistically there’s less than 15 clients that would need to implement this.
Everyone knows it’s only real science if you shrink your scope until data fit your narrative.

I suspect all those who write the laws already have a Damoclean Sword threatening to drop on them at any time convenient. So I wouldn't count on much help from them whether the laws apply to them or not. It's a virtual certainty that noone who seeks power is free of exploitable skeletons. They are the kind of people who seek power. So the law enforcement and security infrastructure can leak that whenever they choose.

I guess what I'm saying is, your suggestion would be a good idea, but the security apparatus figured it out before you did a long time ago. See ABSCAM for instance.

Quick, someone put up a web site where I can click on any legislator's name and read everything there is to know about them which can be commercially purchased. Maybe have a button to contribute to a fund to buy it so it can be published.
Yes. It's anonymous, so no one knows who you are. It's unfiltered, so anyone can post. Some community members can be assholes, but that doesn't change those two basic ground rules.

Those problems you list are present on every online forum and are orthogonal to being free and egalitarian.
Hey Google? When are you going to fix international roaming?
So, you travel to various countries. Google tries to be helpful and switches to the localized site at each country.

OK, I get it. This could be helpful.

Except, a lot of times, it isn't. At all. And the worst part is Chrome does not provide for a way to sensibly control this.

The only way to "fix" this is to lobotomize Chrome with various settings that will, effectively, break lots of things. Apparently you have to set a preferred language, disable location-based suggestions, disable predictive services and more.

I don't understand why Chrome doesn't have a "Home country" setting along with an easy UI button that only shows-up when you travel outside of that country to give you the option to localize when and if you need it.

To say this is annoying is an understatement.

Other companies do this as well. Surprisingly, some web email providers do it. You are from the US, travel to Japan and your UI is in Japanese.

The only reliable way I know to avoid this is to use a VPN while travelling, which sometimes can be a pain in the ass as some services get smart about VPN detection and fight you all the way.

Microsoft: This is an opportunity for differentiation by adding more sensible localization tools to Edge. Keep it simple: When I am in Japan, if I want a Japanese localized experience, let me chose that option, otherwise, maintain my home-region localization, experience and tools.

While I have folks attention, I want to try training a model to generate monster/creature walk animations. Anyone know of a dataset of walk cycle sprite sheets that I could massage and label to see if I can make that work?
Like, you drag a window over your browser, and the viewport values change? I'd not have expected that, and I don't think I've ever noticed that behavior. How does it account for all of those sorts of things (browser-provided login prompts, or browser settings windows, or certificate-info pop-downs, or non-browser windows being dragged on top of part of the browser window) not necessarily resulting in a viewable area describable as a rectangle?
That's exactly right. You've been successfully filtered.
I like the idea, but it's almost like your sales model and distribution model is conflicting with itself. You realize how important the content creators/submitters are to the platform so you agree to split money with them, but you also are charging them to use the platform.

If anything the most valuable members are the contributors. Stats on this very, but something like 1% of users ever make a submission, and only 10% or so comment.
> The idea that someone is a permanent burden regardless of what they do is hard for me to wrap my head around

There are millions of such people, but it's not based on sex.

People from the bottom parts of intelligence distribution are a "burden", because no amount of labor they produce will generate more value for society than they consume (in food, housing, healthcare).

In developed countries we are able to collectively shoulder such a burden, because we do not live an a resource-scarce environment like you mentioned (when it comes to basic necessities)

> The idea that someone is a permanent burden regardless of what they do is hard for me to wrap my head around.

Don't get fixated on the "permanent" part of this. Some people can generate positive and negative value through different periods of their lives. Kids < 16 years of age are typically consumers of value. So are seniors of 80+ years.

This is not a bad thing, just a natural cycle of life.
That's how I've been framing it too, something like "I do my best work on Linux/Mac". A couple places that have seemed otherwise fine have acted weird though, Tesla especially.
Reddit has a much bigger problem with allowing hateful and dangerous content than being too "PC".
Clearly how? My score was in the tens of thousands, I asked good questions Gave good answers. Strove to avoid downvoting/vtc-ing good questions/answers worded poorly. Tried to participate in the way that leads to the ideal outcomes.

How is that "clearly"?

What evidence do you have that lets you assert that I was "clearly unsuitable"?

If anything, someone like yourself who makes up bullshit and believes it as if it were established fact is the sort they should be trying to avoid allowing to moderate. Which is why I'm guessing you're actually a mod.
I mostly agree. The only fine point I'd disagree on is that there is a significant (academic) camp that believes that language equates to understanding. That to properly speak requires understanding (fwiw, I think LLMs demonstrate that this isn't true). So I definitely understand the Layman confusion. But we'd have to get into other arguments like embodiment, if cognition is functional, and many other philosophical discussions. I don't think the public is generally acquainted with these ideas and it is certainly clear that a growing number of researchers aren't either. There's just too much to learn that it's easy to push of other things, especially as we chase benchmarks.

So I understand how people get confused, which is why I try to respond in detail. But also I think many focus on tiny discrepancies or are willing to argue from a novice perspective as if it is authoritative (which corelates strongly with expertise). But I agree, there is a lot we don't know. But there are some things we can reject, which is all I'm trying to do and I think we agree there. Maybe you agree with my nit picking.
Wow, it looks like this has a Vanilla JS frontend
What kind of action do you have in mind?
> Not really interested in arguing with you (you seem to be very set in your ways)

I've had my mind changed (sometimes in significant ways) many times on HN. I would love it if vegans were correct on this topic, but unfortunately their epistemic rigor tends to be extremely bad and as far as I can tell they are pretty uniformly incorrect when they make claims like this.

I think if you understood my objection, you wouldn't have bothered trying to convince me with links from organizations that exist solely to transmit low-quality information to midwits, like the WHO or random advocacy/lobbying group websites.

The types of information that would convince me are e.g. epistemically sound research papers, and I can almost guarantee that I've read more of those than you have if you think random quote clippings from the WHO should have any impact whatsoever on anyone's priors.

Sadly, your response is unfortunately quite typical of veganism enthusiasts on this website. Very condescending, but completely devoid of any kind of useful information.
Is this naivety if they *trust* MS?
VC angle and usual shortsightedness that comes with boundless profit motive one correct angle in there.

OTOH I don’t think the train station analogy holds as eg funnily enough NYC subway stations to me usually show everything that can be great about “big city scaled up village culture where strangers meet strangers”.

I’m not sure if still the case but I do miss NYC just for this sense of belonging, everyone being in conversation with everyone and general readiness to help out (“I <3 NY” isn’t just marketing). To me a clear testament that this can work IRL and it probably works online as well (and did, for a long time, on Reddit actually).

Although not “permaculture” per se these “free open / public spaces” remind me a lot of it (again, even / especially NYC): No over-bearing central organizing force (VC/capitalist, what have you) will be able to “let go” enough in order to “let it grow” from common experience so far.

Fediverse etc hence to me the only potential way out at this point.
Maybe the model going forward is to go back to the use of RSS feeds from each of the discrete sites that you frequent? Not sure if RSS is a thing these days though.
- test login doesn't work

Editors have been pulling tricks forever. Taking Roald Dahl as an example, he published stories from his time as a pilot in WWII and one of them being autobiographical and about the time he crashed his plane. The editors didn't think that was exciting enough for their magazine so they changed it to imply he was shot down. Which is not what happened at all!
Climate is the conditions you expect and weather is the conditions you actually got. Always helps me to remember this.
Ditto on this... I also wonder how this meshes with "You can share just about any kind of link in FlingUp." and "Anything goes on FlingUp." (from the tour)

It seems as though users may share links to whatever, but only content which they own. A difficult line to tread.

For the op, I would ask for a little more clarity on the intent.

(N.b. this might cause some issues posting AI-gen content, which is sans copyright by law, at least in the US. Maybe that's the intent?)
The problem is that now 'everyone' knows the reddit trick and marketers sit there all day writing sponsored posts + upvoting them with bots / bought accounts.
