i think obesity is a risk factor but to call COVID a fat people disease is ignorant. There are many other risk factors (eg being immunocompromised) and you may get it (and long COVID) even without any risk factors.
We've seen this with 3D films where many subtle aspects of cinematography (e.g. depth of field) don't directly translate over. But I think it'll be infinitely worse for "VR" films. Even setting aside basic stuff like what should the viewer be looking at, some of the most basic tool of film-making — cutting from one scene to the next scene — could be jarring in a way that it isn't for a rectangular porthole.
Unfortunately the press release—and the author quotes within it—are worded in such a way that it is implied.
This is an editorialized title, and should instead be "Learnings from kCTF VRP's 42 Linux kernel exploits submissions".

It might be because the "good ones", like the young women you dated early on, eventually get snapped up into marriages. Eventually, the only women who are left are the not-so-good ones, along with good ones who got into bad relationships and got burned.
There is a steady stream of security issues with io_uring since its inception. You can find security issues less then 3 months old for it [1].

We do have "unofficial" Linux support that you can download at:

https://docs.tiltfive.com/t5_release_notes_19ii.html

We can't promise to prioritize issues found in it, but we do use Linux for a lot of our internal development. We're targeting Ubuntu, but I don't think there's anything that would preclude getting it working on another distro.
Some phenomena start manifesting when they get critical mass.

To be more explicit, when the "elit" gets more power, then the transformation of the "dream" into a nightmare will become apparent.

Though I'm pretty sure the cracks are obvious way before that, from day one.
And some of the hands have a tendency to put electrical between module feet and to try and bond the modules with wood glue.
Is there a long list of people willing to do unpaid labour for Reddit at the moment? Or is Reddit going to make their employees/contractors do the moderating instead? At least then you wouldn't have to deal with dissent.
they do, there are organized groups who send media across in many forms. black market South Korean dramas are fairly common
I think a lot about the effect that ad-driven business models and open source must have had on the propensity to spend money on software products. Both in terms of pricing and in terms of build vs. buy. Mostly because I’m always musing about software developers’ hard earned reputation as the cheapest customer demographic on Earth.
Reddit already has a no-ads Premium offering. Just require 3rd party app users to buy that -- just like Spotify does. Problem solved.
If the community decides to leave, it won't be because of API pricing, it'll be because the content and spaces they used to enjoy were taken offline because of a minority of moderators.
Surely it would be like other antivirals(paxlovid) which have shown to help certain long Covid phenotypes?

The barrier to this is dietary diversity. Brown bears are among the most omnivorous large mammals, whereas polar bears only eat plant matter in limited amounts / specific locales. A brown bear will get fat on food a polar bear starves on. You can’t reproduce if you’re not well fed.
This exactly. There have been a few tech waves where nerd behaviour was the leading indicator by a few years. Search engine move from AltaVista to Google (yes, I'm old). Laptop move to Macbook Pro's. Ignore the nerds at your peril.
It's often struck me as odd how some moderators can be modding 50+ sometimes even high as 100+ subreddits. Why so many? I doubt they can be reasonably expected to moderate all of them. Shouldn't there be a limit?
The funny thing is that a lot of the stuff people on Reddit are clamouring for was easily supported by forums, and has been done forever. Admins were free to run their own ads or premium posts, they got sponsorship from companies, organised swaps and real-life meetups. I remember getting perks like free shipping from some places in return for being an active user. The communities were also more intimate. You'd interact with the same people frequently and the water-cooler areas were also interesting to talk about related interests, whereas outside the novelty/karma farming accounts I don't really recognise anyone I interact with on Reddit (though probably in smaller subs that's more common).

I wonder if it would work if there was a good aggregation tool that could talk to old platforms like phpBB or vBulletin (which I think is still a big chunk of the communities that are running). I can't imagine it would be that difficult and probably existed.
I’m guessing they looked at the data and saw that it was mostly consumers and not gcp customers using their domain service.
Sure, but this is unfortunately not really novel work in this area. White matter tract and (3T, typically not more) fMRI-based analyses of language tasks have been done for decades, and simply don't provide much information due to the horrendous resolution inherent to the task.

What is needed in the area is something more similar to EPFL's in silico rat cortex reconstruction, only for humans. I haven't seen a single reference (ever) for single cell resolution information on connectivity in Wernicke's area (arguably the absolute most important and distinguishing cortex in human brain vs non-human primate).

This is what is needed now, rather than extremely ham handed or crude, low resolution correlations across brain structures which are well established in many contexts.
Reddit got half a billion people addicted to candy and now CEO Steve Huffman refuses to sell it because he thinks they're eating it wrong.

There's already an API and an ecosystem of third party apps. I'm amazed at the failure to embrace the opportunity to monetize this in a reasonable timescale, in a world where customers are already accustomed to monthly subscriptions.
Practicing cognitive games does, I'm sure of that. Mental math, crosswords, etc.

The only debate is how much do they help. This is likely linked to the number of different cognitive games practiced, and how frequently.

Maintaining documentation. UML cannot go even one developer-week without being updated, but the developer will often not do that. By the time your UML is a month out of date it is useless at best, and misleading at worst.
That data is from two years ago! I'm describing what's happened since then, which is a stark reversal in a number of major US cities.

If people are fleeing these cities, why are there countless situations in which a single rental unit gets 100+ applications, a bidding war breaks out and ultimately it goes far over asking rent?

You don't like cities, that's fine, but it doesn't mean cities "suck". Different people have different preferences, do you understand this?
If the number of people using it so tiny then why is such a big problem for Reddit? It's not like calling an API is more cost than using the website itself. Huffman says only 3% of users use 3rd party apps. If that's the case, then why bother with all this crap? For some slice of 3%?

Additionally if you pay for it you're a customer, and it's still not your community, you still accepted a contract that probably allows the company to do pretty much anything, and they can pull the rug at any point.
I don't disagree with you but I think people also need to understand that management often pick the team that provides lower estimates because team members will have to work harder to deliver it.

Management might not be so dumb. If someone said 2 months and you say 6 months, they might go with the person who said 2 months but will accept 5 months secretly.
There are lots of users that are unhappy with Reddit for this. I've stopped using it this week.
It seems disingenuous to imply that the effects of COVID are not worsened by a high body fat percentage and / or poor physical health.

COVID is not a fat persons disease, but as with most detrimental health episodes, the negative effects are greater in people with high body fat percentages.
TP5.5 was 800kB IIRC which is still a magnificent bargain IMO
It took many years, and the product is starting to look dated in 2023, but kudos to Jeri Ellsworth for finally executing on this.
Reddit management would do well to understand that with regards to the labour and content they receive for free.
Content-addressed ASTs make so many problems go away. No dependency hell. No merge conflicts. Fully incremental build, test, distribution, etc. Everyone can use their preferred formatting, or even their own syntax. I think the future of programming will involve this paradigm.
Having a premium web hosting and web building service is great. Squarespace makes nice looking pages. But they are offering nothing special for the $20 premium for domain hosting. And really there is nothing to offer. Their DNS management UI is worse than Google's, and Google's is nothing special. I'm already in the process of moving domains - I don't want to be around for the transition.

Many, many moons ago I asked my mentor how to estimate. He told me that you should figure out what it feels like, then double it and then take it to the next higher time unit.

"hmm, adding that button probably takes about an hour"... 2 days is about right.

Almost 30 years later I still find this to be true. Truer than I like.
In addition, a timeline of culture & technology:

Oldowan industry - simple flaked stone tools (~2.9-1.7 million years ago)
Acheulean industry - advanced tools like hand axes (~1.7 million - ~160,000 years ago)
Archaic humans in Southeast Asian islands like Indonesia (~1.8-1 million years ago, dating is a bit uncertain on this one)
First control of fire (~1 million - ~700,000 years ago)
First archaic humans living in colder climates like Atapuerca, Spain (~800,000 years ago)
First wooden spears denoting a change in hunting tech (~400,000 years ago)
Widespread control of fire (~400,000 years ago)
==> First homo sapiens <== (~300,000 years ago)
First neanderthals arrive in Europe (~230,000-150,000 years ago)
First use of ochre pigment for symbolic purposes (~190,000 years ago)
Body lice genetically diverge from head lice due to clothing (~170,000 years ago)
Mousterian industry - points, scrapers, denticulates, notches, and awls (~300,000-40,000 years ago)
First time eating seafood at Pinnacle Point (~150,000 years ago)
Humans start collecting and using shell beads (~130,000 years ago)
First heat treated material - silcrete (~110,000 years ago)
First compound adhesive leads to tar-hafted tools (~100,000 years ago)
First bed (~77,000 years ago)
First bow and arrow in Sibudu (~72,000–60,000 years ago)
Arrival in Australia (and thus first boat?) (~70,000-65,000 years ago)
First musical instrument (flute) (~60,000 years ago)
First burial ritual at Shanidar Cave (~60,000 years ago but controversial)
First sewing needle (~45,000 years ago)
Aurignacian industry - true homo sapien tools like microlithics, blades, projectile points, pressure flaking, split-base bone points (~43,000-26,000 years ago)
Gravettian industry - Bow and arrow, harpoons, and darts come into their own (~33,000-22,000 years ago)
Solutrean & Magdalenian industry - flint tools, cave art, etc. (~22,000-12,000 years ago)

Disclaimer: "First [...]" means "oldest surviving evidence of [...]". I tried my best to select a realistic middle ground age but each one has error bars of tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of years and there's a lot of overlap in industries.

This list is so incomplete it's not even funny :)
There was an emoji example of length seven posted to HN recently:

> As the Linux kernel is a key component not just for Google, but for the Internet, we started heavily investing in this area. We extended the VRP's scope and maximum reward in 2021 (to $50k), then again in February 2022 (to $91k), and finally in August 2022 (to $133k).

So an award roughly equal to four months' salary for an average Silicon Valley engineer is considered "heavily investing" in security, when it comes to potentially industry-shattering exploits?

I imagine that anyone who knows where to look can easily find dozens of interested buyers willing to pay a lot more than that, from intelligence agencies and their contractors to crime syndicates.
I tried out Fi when right when it came out, was pretty happy with it. fell on hard times, homeless here and there, so i paused my account because I was broke. I was able to unpause/repause my account every 6 months for a couple years and keep my phone number without paying a dime. It's a small thing, but I'm still pretty grateful I was able to keep my phone number for free like that.
The io_uring finding is the only novel tidbit.
5% of users are accounted for $10M cloud spend? Simple extrapolation suggests $200M annual cloud spend and their 2021 annual revenue was $350M. If those numbers are really true, I guess they're making a very wrong prioritization. They should be doing aggressive cost optimization on their infrastructure rather than trying to find a small revenue stream from those 5%.
Sure. Risky AF, considering how the site actually runs, unnecessary, and a major-league speed-bump towards IPO.

How do you think advertisers - some of whom have now had to reschedule ad buys / launches / pause campaigns, or at least factor a sudden major hit to 'stability' / consistency into consideration of the platform [1,2] - and potential enterprise customers for ML-model feeds &c. are taking this news?

Further, it has caused the CEO himself to repeatedly indicate lack of profitability (after > $1.2 billion in VC funding) and has created a massive 'paper-trail' of PR ineptness evidence.

When you buy a house, what you pay for it is determined by the mortgage you can afford.

If interest rates go down, house prices go up. If property taxes go down, house prices go up. If property taxes go up, house prices go down.

In the long term, it's a net wash. That and the people on the boundary of homelessness are renters, not homeowners. Rents are set by what the market will bear, not by what it costs the landlord to own the property.
It's so disingenuous too. Basically calling app developers freeloaders. The reality is that Reddit just didn't charge them. If someone hands you a cookie for free every day for 10 years is it fair to call you a freeloader? You didn't steal the cookies -- they literally wrapped them up and handed them to you every day. How horrible it is that you ate all those cookies without paying!
Thanks reddit! I'm going to delete both accounts today and it is over. Also yes you have quality content, but starting today reddit will be totally blocked at dns level on my computers
This opinion isn't as unpopular as you think.

About the only place where I think Apple's walled garden approach genuinely holds a platform back is the iPad which should have a much more Mac-like model (honestly it should just straight up have the Mac's flexibility, and the Vision Pro too whenever that ships). My phone is different. My phone absolutely must always work. About the most I want is as much much easier way less onerous way of sideloading Emacs on it, and that's primarily because I find org-mode apps without the Emacs environment to come up just a little bit insufficient.

I have other computers to do other computer stuff, but I don't care at all about doing any of that on my phone.

> ..a professor at UC Berkeley, gave a TedX talk .. The extreme leftist bias of virtually every social science and humanities faculty at Berkeley is more than enough reason to discount this heavily. .. Nonetheless, we have to admit that maybe he’s onto something there.

This amounts to saying: "normally I'd dismiss this research based on an ad-hominem, but in this case I agree with its conclusions so I won't". Which is certainly one way to write a think-piece, I guess?
Absolutely agree with the opening statement. However, the example given suggests that the same principle applied to government would result in endless lockdowns and "safety" measures above any reasonable boundary. Officials' accountability should be pinned to something else, not "safety" and not even "money", I think.
No, it does not feel like that to me as far as grocery stores are concerned. (My experience is in large Texas cities.)

Do you not just have some store like Tom Thumb, Randall’s, Albertsons, Krogers, Sprouts, or H‑E‑B near you? I know there are places that don’t have good access to regular grocery stores, wondering if that’s the case for you or for some reason you see these as either too junky or too high end?

For sure there are more self checkout lanes, but it’s usually not too hard to find a regular staffed lane if that’s what you want.
In theory, you can plug in 4 to a single PC.

The tell is that as soon as they don’t like how things are going they flip from calling them estimates to commitments.

Also if someone’s estimates aren’t perfect, that’s something you can use to justify withholding salary. The game is fixed. It’s just a good deal less fixed for us than for the average person.
I think you didn't see the amount of popular support these actions had. Many subreddits put it to a vote to go dark or not. The ones I am a part of were 90%+ in support.
I’ll blame Google for a lot but in this instance I think they’re right. Python 2.7 is EOL, they’d be foolish to keep running it indefinitely on the servers they’re responsible for.
From the start I was expecting to start paying for this. I've used 3rd party apps for over 10 years. Make it a reasonable amount and I'm in. Instead we get this.
As opposed to not having those social connections?
> money doesn't grow on trees and runways are very real and scary, so without deadlines companies fundamentally cannot function.

That's a non-sequitur. there are plenty of ways to run a project under a budget that don't involve deadlines.
I mean if they follow your plan and replace the moderators of the subreddits I enjoy then I'm done with Reddit. Reddit can't expect to freeride off various communities and then kick out mods without a reasonable excuse, and this definitely does not classify.
Some design patterns work around a bad language, but most are about complex problems. They are a way of describing abstraction, and that is what languages are about.
Reddit could have avoided all of this years ago by building out the tools that moderators claim to need. Instead, they relied on third parties to create them. Doing this would have nullified mods’ strongest justification for protesting. While removing 3rd party apps is certainly annoying for users, mods are what keep the site functioning.

The fact that Reddit chose to take this course of action tells me that they don’t actually know that much about their own website. That might also explain why they never built out the tooling to begin with.
From this RPGWatch interview:

/r/Apple should announce that they are lifting the blackout, but from here on out the community will focus on posting pictures of apple fruits with smile faces painted on top.
And that's their right. Many subs announced they would protest for 48 hours to prove a point, at which point they returned. But a moderator who continues to keep their sub private indefinitely is not protesting a decision, they are defacing their subreddits and harming their members. Removing such a moderator is the appropriate thing to do.
what does that mean ? is there a season for sperm development ?
> And sundars customer is the board and their customer is the shareholders

This is by design. As CEO you are supposed to have your shareholder's interests as your main priority.

And as you say, your shareholders are often served better by making upbeat announcements than making actual products for customers.

Large corporations have different dynamics than small businesses, and different goals. It's not even vaguely surprising that Alphabet has a different culture than Google did 20 years ago.

What I find surprising is that everyone seems to ignore this and think that Googlers must be awesome at their job because they work at Google. Those days are long gone.
What? Crap, my router has built-in support for Google domains for dynamic IPs so that's why I'm on them -- wanted my kids to have a nice name for a local Minecraft server. I assume that's going away.
So they're getting rid of all their best unpaid workers?

Reddit is very, very confused about what makes it a long-term success. I wonder how many free person-hours have been dedicated to curating the website. And then they just treat them like garbage.
I think at least a lot of them are rudely surprised.

If it’s a conspiracy not everyone is in on it, at least. There’s more an element of believing your own PR in many cases.
If reddit needed to generate income from api access they should have made a subscription a requirement for individual users to access the api.
