Of course that's your prerogative, but their claim still holds true. If you never ship your own projects, you're still a person that never ships.

What you do at your day job doesn't matter, (unless you work for yourself), if you ship while at work, your work is a place that ships. Not you.
I no longer trust them at all. Fusion360 had a lot of promise for being next gen collaborative software, but the pricing Autodesk slapped on to it and the tiered feature set put paid to that.

Sadly, there are few alternatives to it, and I have decided to subscribe to it because there's nothing else at that price level that's got the CAM features I need.

That said, the version I can afford doesn't have lots of features I want, including the 4/5 axis stuff, and I'd love to be able to use the simulation features, but that's too expensive also.

So I use it for CAD/CAM for now, and I hope something better comes along at some point... while I learn to hand program 4th and 5th axis stuff and use open source FEA programs to try to learn some simulation.
The place where it breaks down is if you want to build a keyboard that doesn't use a typical collection of contours and widths of keys or a subset thereof. I haven't found a shop that'll do a "nonstandard" collection of keys as a package and the prices for one-off custom keycaps are not economical for a set of 50 or 70 or whathaveyou.
I'm not very sympathetic to crying about loss of free speech from people who do not protect free speech themselves.

Isn't it a bit hypocritical to ban people from r/conservative for not toeing the party line and then complain about that same behavior being applied to themselves?

I considered those actions to be protective of free speech rather than in violation of it.
A thousand people create alternative NBA subs and discussion boards every day. How will everyone know which exact one of them to go to?

If you think the solution to blocking a sub (or all of Reddit) is "a hundred million people can just all decide to go somewhere else the next day", you fundamentally misunderstand how the community and network effect works.
This is a really trash article reverberating/regurgitating “hot takes” from schlock mainstream media narratives that are >100 years old.

It’s funny since pricing is set based upon social behavior (do we spend that or not and/or should we charge that or not?) capitalism is socialism with obligation to carry around a mind virus that preserves the figurative identity of Bezos and the like; they’re “better” capitalists.

What's performance like when each bucket is an array instead of a linked list?

Another question-- at the moment where one would normally decide to resize the table for performance reasons (i.e., buckets are getting too full), how would the array-bucket style perform compared to the linked-list bucket style?
I think that started with the redesign. It's so weird looking at some of the default subs, just pure trash imo, yet there are still the incredibly diverse, bespoke communities ranging from knitting to woodworking. Users in those subs are the real losers out of this.
I never claimed that Medicaid and disability were "golden". Go back and read my comment again. Those are last resorts for people in bad situations. But anyone eligible should go ahead and apply, at least to get the process started.
> It's insulting in the sense that the stoicism of many men is considered unintelligent, primitive, underdeveloped.

I've heard a lot about men needing to be more expressive and open about their inner emotional state, but I've never heard people mention stoicism in the same context or that stoicism necessarily leads to the opposite of that.

Or that stoicism is associated with being unintelligent, primitive or underdeveloped.

Have you heard it from your circle in a social setting? I'm curious where you heard such sentiments.
Have you had to handle conversions at all? I have a project stuck in Altium I'd rather not pay to continue developing.
Man....I remember when reddit was fun.

A while ago, I was moderator for a small community of subreddits and decided that the leadership shenanigans had gotten to me, so I left all those subs behind and just became a lurker. Nothing reddit leadership has done has made me regret that choice.

But it's sad, anybody remember Team Periwinkle? Cake day? Getting trophies? Reddit used to distribute their source code, and have real hackers running it. Now it's just another shitty business model looking to be exploited. I get it, Reddit isn't a charity and isn't free to run, it is a business, but now it's just going to be a shit one.

You know what would have still sucked but still ended up working?

"Hey 3rd party app makers, you're part of the Reddit community. Running this site and service is expensive, so here's what's going to happen. In 12 months we're going to be reworking our revenue model and it will impact how you connect to us. Let's start to chat about it now and decide what's best for this part of our community.

Be prepared, we're going to have to figure out how to make money but we want you to be part of the solution. Anything is on the table but here's what we're thinking today:

1. Limit free API access to a cap per day - easier to implement, but will not create revenue for anybody and will cause us to have to build anti-abuse systems.

2. Run more ads. We think we'd probably have to figure out a way for your apps to be part of our ad network. So possible terms of service (TOS) for you might be that you'll have to pass ads through according to some yet to be decided display standard. You won't get any money from it, and it might make your user experience worse. We might consider extending our TOS to also let you run ads in your own apps and mix them in with ours. It's your app, and it would be your decision.

3. Charge for API access. We want to target making $x/million API calls. You would have to figure out how to pay for this. One options is to charge your users a monthly fee and pass it through. Our experience say that while this would reduce your user count, it would also reduce your support load. We'd be open to letting you charge $x+y/million and you keep the $y or perhaps we charge some fee like $x+y and you keep z% percent. On our free site we'd probably still run ads, which would encourage users to your apps for a "premium" experience. There's several models here and we haven't decided yet -- but it could be win-win for everybody who acts as a "portal" into our service. As a show of good faith, we'd probably kill our own organic mobile app to further let you differentiate yours.

4. Some mix of the above, maybe with tiers.

Contact us, we're going to start setting up discussions for the next 2-3 months, make a decision within 6, and then give you 6 months to modify your apps and work out payment methods and so on."

The US's Medicare levy is 2.9% and 30% of the total Federal budget[1] is spent on healthcare (that doesn't include state and local spending). The US spends more taxpayer money per capita than Australia and gets much, much less to show for it.

[1] Sorry: 30% of Federal outlays are spent on healthcare, only some of that is part of the "budget"
It's even worse than that. The market didn't just price in low interest rates - rather it priced in continually decreasing interest rates.

But no, interest rates are not value neutral. That sounds like an invocation of efficient market fallacy. For one, interest rates form a lower bound on the amount of yield that is required for a business to be considered viable.

You should take a look at the prices of medical procedures not covered by insurance, such as plastic surgery. The prices are reasonable, and the reason is that when procedures are not covered by insurance, consumers shop around. When consumers spend out of pocket, they are very much interested in seeing the price before they do the procedure, and hospitals can't and don't hide the price.
They do, but the kind of doctor that a foreigner can just walk up to and receive same-day treatment for cash isn't in the SSA system.
Right because once the public has real economic power the rich do not so they juice their prices, and meddle in other ways to deflate the buying power; aka inflate prices.

$200k in the 80s would be $600k buying power now. But it’s barely middle class.

Our society is entirely a wealth preservation scheme for people who cannot prove they did the work, they just have political documents of power.

The Langchain package does something similar to this and has a feature to combat that kind of thing that basically feeds the invalid input back into the bot and says “you were asked for x but gave this, please correct it” - it’s shockingly effective.
> FP is much simpler to learn, so much better suited for newcomers

I'm going to have to disagree with you like most other replies.

You need basic math knowledge to do FP - at least know what a function is.

Imperative programming is just writing out a list of instructions for the computer to follow and everyone understands the concept of write out a list of instructions. No math needed.
Also women with impossible standards (e.g. 6'+, $200k+/yearly, loves dogs, wants (or doesn't) kids, is single, from a good family, won't cheat, owns his own house, blue eyes, etc.) refusing to lower them in search of a partner well into their 30s, then wondering "where all the good men are".
My reaction to McCarthy has been similar. After trying a couple of his works, my reaction was that he was primarily focussed on the nasty side of humanity. We people can be nasty, but - like much of today's news - he fails to balance that with our positives. There are a lot of grays between black and white. Great authors manage to show them all.
It doesn’t sound like this is contrary to the idea that it’s insulting when men are considered to lack emotional intelligence because they are stoic. Indeed, it’s possible to be stoic and receptive and it’s insulting when people act like it’s not.

It's stupid but you have to keep in mind Reddit's execs are liars. The API users aren't costing Reddit money and they're not the reason they have profitability problems.

Reddit wants to wrap all their content in a mobile app. There they can force ads without the option to blocking, they can force (paid for) "suggestions", and they can vacuum up all that sweet personalized data from every user.
People have to realize, from a standpoint of "how do I make all of the money?", this is the only way these sites can survive in a world of reasonably-high interest rates.

There are only so many people who would be willing to pay $x for a Reddit subscription. Would the quality of content and discussion go up? Absolutely, but that's not what Huffman and his VC backers care about. They care about _scale_, and if you can collect the information of every person who goes so far as to even click on a Reddit post that's a result in a Google search, you can have near-infinite scale. At that point, the question isn't "how do I get Joe Schmoe to pay for a Reddit subscription?", it's "How many ads can I cram into every GET request made to Reddit and maximize the price advertisers are willing to pay to be in that GET request?"
it might just be the type of women you attract and or are attracted to. There are definitely women out there who will give their fair share if not more.

Funny enough, I had few concept projects got un-stuck maybe because of it. Long story short: sometimes it's helpful to leave the project for a few days so you can come back to it from a relatively new perspective. Get a good exercise AND then a good rest helps too, especially when the project is big.
Religiosity isn’t declining (globally) and the book addresses the “defection” idea, noting that most people still have similar beliefs as their parents, and that birth rates still outcompete defections.

You have to demand a coded bill ahead to time or you must refuse treatment. If it's not in writing, then there's no evidence. If they refuse, then you have to be willing to walk away.

It's actually pretty simple. Like many "innovations" in the past several years, alignment means profitable for founders and investors, and whatever enables a small minority to reach unthinkable levels of productivity, wealth and control so everybody else can serve them as waiters, cleaners and prostitutes.

Then they will fly their AI plane (the pilot got fired too, now mowing the lawn) to an ultra-wealthy paradise to discuss with the other billionaires how to "reduce inequality". The proposed solution will be even more "innovations"... THIS time around the next wave of innovation will actually be redistributive, so they say, but in fact it will be rinse and repeat.
You are seriously underestimating how much garbage is in the mod queue.
I deleted my account and my contributions. I'm very curious to see the change in user numbers from this as well.

If the number isn't very large, I'll concede that I either over-reacted or the total number of bots is way larger than I imagined. If the number of bots is large, this affects their valuation.

If the number is large, it shows that the primary asset, the user base, has reduced and this also affects their valuation.

I can't see how they can come out of this looking as valuable as before.

I wouldn't like to be an investor.

Plus compared to Reddit, any kind of real discussion was a pain in the ass. (As opposed to a bunch of people sequentially shouting into the void in an un-threaded manner.)
People are irrational, they won’t “waste” $15k, but will spend $8k to “save” $7k.
The #1 frustration is that it's online only, and Autodesk won't let you e.g. use simulation features with local hardware. You HAVE to buy their cloud credits and you HAVE to use their cloud system to use the software beyond the basic features. It's not cheap, unless you're making products with it or are wealthy it's out of reach.

I have a decent computer with plenty of hardware for simulation as long as I'm willing to wait for the results... like a half hour or more in even simple cases. But because Autodesk wants lots and lots of money, they removed the ability to do that from the software. Fusion360 could already do it, but not any more.

Interestingly, in the time frame between when Fusion360 went pay to play for more than very basic features and now, Autodesk (ADSK) lost almost 40% of their corporate value.
OK, that's a reasonable argument at least.

My gut feel is that the effect is minimal at best, but I don't have an argument for that.

I haven't upgraded to JupyterLab 4 because the plugins that I use to make jupyter lab IDE-like (jupyterlab-git, jupyterlab-vim, jupyterlab-lsp) need to all be stable on the new version first.

Yes, unfortunately homework and labs aren't something we can release, due to concerns over academic integrity (I'm the instructor).

I wrote the slides with the intention of them working as standalone notes, though, and as a kind of "textbook" for the course. So I think if you can follow along with the slides, you will get a fair amount of learning out of them, almost as much as attending the lectures.
Build stuff. There's a lot of untested stuff. There's a lot of research that goes nowhere, or things like Bard, which are really good, but will end up like Windows Mobile.

When you build stuff, it's clearer what the strengths and weaknesses are, and which innovations matter.

There was that hype with AutoGPT and similar iterative GPTs. But when AutoGPT is tested hard, it ends up getting confused on what to do, and the price tag ends up too much. It was a nice attempt, but didn't go too far.

Langchain was extremely good at first, but then the new GPT-3.5 API chat format just allowed you to include "memory" without needing a third party to track all of it.

If you follow most of the AI thought leaders, people are still talking about prompt engineering, but that's becoming more unnecessary with something like GPT-4, which can read your mind better than your spouse. A lot of people with experience are left behind because they overinvest in these things that are just transcended months later.
I'll chime in because everyone is replying to complain about price controls. There is an alternative: windfall profit taxes. These have been proposed (by one political party) and blocked (by the other political party).
That's a pretty low-effort take. I'm a very serious cook and I absolutely loathe kitchen gadget culture but the Instant Pot has to be the most innovative kitchen tool created in my lifetime. It's a mobile oven, pressure cooker, saute pan, and mess-free food transport system all in one and it's affordable. The amount of food it can produce relative to the active cook time needed is unparalleled. It's the gateway drug to cooking for people who grew up not knowing how to cook.
I totally agree. I just think the mental calculations some folks are doing don't even come close to accounting for power users, mods, and the amount that some of those pissed off users made reddit what it is.

I guess I just find it baffling that people think that the site will have the same value it had today (to users and advertisers) if it is loses its soul. I don't even think I'm being idealistic. I've been through this before. Reddit is more than a view count, or else people wouldn't care they way we do. Did? Something.

Society also determines what is desirable in men and women. In fact historically it was much more strict in determining what is desirable.

If most men had their way in what is truly "desirable", they would have mute sex dolls that cook their favorite meal every night.

If most women had their way, they would probably have something equivalently grotesque to fit their fantasies.
PE already got theirs, through the magic of a "leveraged dividend". There's really no bigger scam going these days. From the S&P rating note a couple years ago:

"U.S.-based Instant Brands Holdings Inc. (formerly known as Corelle Brands Holdings Inc.) is issuing a new $450 million first-lien term loan. The company will use the proceeds, along with $100 million in cash, to refinance its existing $200 million term loan due 2024, $100 million seller notes, and fund a $245 million dividend to shareholders."

If you subtract out the refinanced debt the new owners walked away with $100M in company cash and another $150M in borrowed money.

What's to see there?

I hate to admit, but this comment pretty much sums it up: https://sopuli.xyz/comment/209870 (first part talks about communities in general, the rest is about r/Dota2 in particular - but can mostly be applied to most other subreddits)

I really don't want it to be like this, but it sums up perfectly how I feel about it. I'm not on Reddit to make posts - about 99.999% of time I don't have anything to post, and those five minutes a year when I possibly do aren't today. I'm lurking around, then maybe participating in comments, chatting with people or just expressing My Importantly Worthless Opinions(tm).

I've checked out Fediverse and it's essentially empty. Those who make all the posts I was commenting on haven't moved there. If they will, I will visit, for sure. But if they won't (and seems that they won't) - I won't stick around simply because there's nothing to do there for me, personally (I'm no content producer).

Blackout doesn't address this. Neither are all those "check out Lemmy/Kbin/... posts" I've seen.

Reddit knows this and that's why they call users like me "noise". I guess, moderators included (as I get it, most mods don't post - they have a different role)?
Public healthcare can also suck balls indeed, but to compare the same things, I would rather pay for well-functioning public healthcare than for well-functioning private healthcare. The other insurer's incentives (max profit) are just less likely to be aligned with mine (good health) in the private system.
I remember stumbling across the angelfire site for a defunct occult order (the master, “Sir Faustus” or something like that, had apparently mysteriously disappeared).
