I'm not sure we can label one solution to be "better than" the other just because it "is leveraging containerization to entirely solve..." anything. Reasons:

1. Containerization addresses the monolith pattern issues yes, but introduces other challenges (data persistency, image management, immutable infra, etc)
2. It takes much more than just containers and executors to design a reliable platform for ML/Data.

I think what can set projects apart is how/if they make use of Software Engineering patterns for what matters to ML as a workload. An orchestrator that could leverage a control loop (reconciler) pattern, similar to what K8s does for containers, would provide the eventual consistency and reliability required by most ML workloads.

That doesn't matter if they previously broke the bot or the bot author took them down to protest the API price change. https://www.reddit.com/user/Blank-Cheque took all their bots down 10 days ago until the third-party apps change is reverted.

• AssistantBOT, AssistantBOT1 - This was broken by the Pushshift API cutoff. It's widely used for tracking sub usage statistics. The author is working on fixing it, but the last update was three weeks ago.

• Flair_Helper (Blank-Cheque) - This makes removing posts easier, especially on mobile. I haven't used it in anger.

• FloodgatesBot (Blank-Cheque) - This applies posting limits for users. There are a couple competitors, but I'm not sure how many are still running.

• Quality_Vote (Blank-Cheque) - This is used to allow users to remove unpopular posts. It can save a lot of moderation work in the right kind of sub.

While I don't disagree with your description, there is an awful lot of scientific output which is really just fishing for significance (IE, runnings lots of tests without corrections), publication, claim credit for discovering something, and it never actually gets followed-up on to see if the claim generalizes.

I think probably the most important thing is to get scientists to spend more time identifying and teasing out correlated variables to identify plausible mechanisms.
I think this will be a net positive even if they are replaced with worse moderators. Users are more than capable of self-regulating their communities and upvoting quality content.

Moderators are too concerned with weeding out people and bad content as soon as possible and as much as possible. But it's OK to have a bunch of low quality comments and posts, and just let the users decide what gets seen by most of the people.

I'm much more concerned with moderators thinking they can decide to protest on behalf of millions of people, than I am with millions of people seeing content that breaks a subreddits rules.

Did you made the video? How long did it take to make it? How long to render it? (We made a few videos of math for the university. For a 5 minute video we spend like 10 hours in preparation and editing. It takes much more time than what I expected, and it's not even at the profesional quality level.)

I think you may get more traction with a blog post (or video) explaining how you made this. Is the script written by the AI? How difficult was it to write the prompt? Is the AI reading the script to make the images or you wrote the prompts for each part? Was the transition from dinosaur photos to meteorites decided by the AI or by you? Was the infinite zoom decided by the AI or by you?

Have you fact checked the text and images generated by the AI? How hard was it? Did the AI include something about birds (or did I miss it)?

It's like calling a song lazy because it uses the same chords as another song. Gender/race-bent remakes are still entirely original works with new scripts and new shots. Even if they were to keep the script the same and make a shot-for-shot remake with new actors and a new crew, that's still 99% new work that's being done. I'd watch a shot-for-shot remake of something like Star Wars with a gender-swapped cast, that sounds like a lot of fun.

Ideas are worth very little, it's the execution that matters.

As kevinwang has pointed out in slightly different terms: the hypothesis that seems wooly to you seems sharply pointed to others (and vice versa) because explanationless hypotheses ("changing the colour of the button will help") are easily variable (as are the colour of the xkcd jelly beans), while hypotheses that are tied strongly to an explanation are not. You can test an explanationless hypothesis, but that doesn't get you very far, at least in understanding.

As usual here I'm channeling David Deutsch's language and ideas on this, I think mostly from The Beginning of Infinity, which he delightfully and memorably explains using a different context here: https://vid.puffyan.us/watch?v=folTvNDL08A (the yt link if you're impatient: https://youtu.be/watch?v=folTvNDL08A - the part I'm talking about starts at about 9:36, but it's a very tight talk and you should start from the beginning).

Incidentally, one of these TED talks of Deutsch - not sure if this or the earlier one - TED-head Chris Anderson said was his all-time favourite.

plagiarist:

> That doesn't test noticing the button, that tests clicking the button. If the color changes it is possible that fewer people notice it but are more likely to click in a way that increases total traffic.

"Critical rationalists" would first of all say: it does test noticing the button, but tests are a shot at refuting the theory, here by showing no effect. But also, and less commonly understood: even if there is no change in your A/B - an apparently successful refutation of the "people will click more because they'll notice the colour" theory - experimental tests are also fallible, just as everything else.

I think it’s worth grading this sort of thing.

In my business we derive fantastic value from FOSS, and a huge part of that is the absence of countless other layers of profit between us and the upstream developers. So it makes sense for us to give a piece of that business back. More or less, the core of the business is all sitting atop FOSS projects.

But we’re small, so any contributions reflect that. And we do cumulatively use more FOSS software in our stack indirectly than we can sanely evaluate, so we probably won’t be seen contributing funds to every single one.

The Amazon ES shenanigans is a good example of a different “grade” of this situation, where they’re just money grubbing.
This is why I quite like that Reddit by default just orphans comments on account deletion. One comment is usually not much of a PII danger, it's correlating them that builds up a picture. So this lets people leave their comments for others while reducing dox risk (well, unless the attacker uses Pushshift, in which case this is all futile)
You might be short-changing yourself more than you realize. I was similar for most my life, but this year I decided to learn about fashion and actually dress nice. Not only do I look a million times better, but---surprisingly---it actually physically feels better when your clothes fit just right. It's like they're hugging you throughout your day as you wear them. Can't believe I went so many years without ever realizing this. Probably a lot here on HN who grew up poor and became "new money" through software dev are short-changing themselves like this.

Macrobase PI here – someone squatted on that io domain a long time ago while the project was active. Once we moved to macrobase.stanford.edu, a fan apparently took interest in our old domain. Thanks Andy for updating the link.
Just the threat of this on bigger subs, combined with the two subreddits that reddit did actually shuffle around mods in, seems to have totally broken the blackout. The benevolent dictators who moderate were threatened with losing their power and seem to have completely caved (.

The mods realized that they are replaceable and that they don't have infinite rights to the moderator spots on these subreddits. Did they not consider that they do not own anything here and are all just operating on reddit's platform and reddit could just remove them and install new mods?

It seems highly plausible to me that reddit has now effectively won this one, though, I strenuously think they could have achieved their goals with far far less negative press but it wouldn't really be reddit if they didn't do something in the maximally inefficient way.

I do think this could lead to a situation where reddit moderation is more democratized, with moderators being elected (in a more formal way than how some subs do it now) and I think that would be an overall net positive for the communities and for reddit as a whole. Moderators at this point operate as mostly benevolent dictators and benevolent dictatorships have their plusses but I think that the limitations are starting to show now.

> If you look through the top voted AMA's of all time there, the vast majority are some years after Victoria's departure.

It could also be explained by a growing userbase. More users in recent years means more upvotes in threads from the same period, compared to older ones. I checked a few big subreddits that are at least 10 years old and their all-time top posts are from up to five years ago.

Also, reddit changed how the upvotes are counted somewhere in 2016.
All the new asyncIO stuff in Django is awesome, they are doing a phenomenal job retrofitting it all to an inherently sync designed framework.

One thing to note, it's been possible to build these sort of things with Django by using Gevent and Gunicorn for over a decade, and it works well.

In many ways I wish Gevent had been adopted by Python rather than AsyncIO.
The usual way to dispute a decision is to start by refuting the justification. I think that's a reasonable ask.
Pi may contain any sequence of digits but it's not proven that it contains all sequences of digits. IMHO, it's possible to construct a sequence of digits which will not be in Pi. It's easy to construct such sequence for first N digits of Pi of any length (for example, N zeroes).
> What is plain hypocrisy to me are the people who developed "for profit" open source projects, and are angry when they dont get paid enough, when the projects they have created rely on GNU tools, the Linux kernel (Perhaps Debian), a libre software database on so on.

This is a big part of why I find it so crazy that people argue that "Open Source" work isn't open when a commercial license is attached (besides the fact that "available" and "open" are synonyms and it is a clearly reasonable interpretation of the words). It strikes a balance between that "coolness" you mention while not letting big companies take your work and make massive profits while stepping on your shoulders.

I think it is completely reasonable for Open Source (aka Software Available) projects to say "Here's my work. If there's pie to be had, just be cool and share a little. If there isn't, don't fret, we're in this together." It is astounding to me that people attack those asking for a little pie when they so clearly are lifting up the pie eaters. It would be one thing if they were asking for the whole pie, but (like this article) that doesn't seem to be the vast majority of them. And if we're being honest, attacking the scaffolding seems just like it ends up in less pies overall.
I really appreciate the candor in this post.
Was looking at hexdump alternatives a week ago and between huxdemp (hxd), xxd, hx, hd (not the alias for hexdump -C) and hexdump this was my favourite.

hx wasn't usable when parsing data streams...
And clashes with helix (hx)

On systems where I can't install anything I would just use hexdump -C or xxd

I think you're thinking about "limiting" another instance, where content from the limited instance is excluded from public feeds but still shows up in personal feeds to those who are subscribed.

Sadly limiting instances like mastodon can do isn't available in lemmy or kbin afaik, so highly moderated instances like beehaw are resorting to complete disconnection (defederation) for now until moderation tooling improves.

One caveat about the current implementations is that a defederated instance doesn't seem to know it's been defederated from, so a stale copy of the remote content still exists and can be interacted with (users can post in the remote community that defederated and comment on stale posts, or even new posts in the remote community that are made by local users, however none of that will get synced to the remote communities / instance that defederated).

It's a symbiosis though. Power posters add content for fake points because there is moderation to keep spam, trash, flamewars (when strictly moderated) at bay so their posts are not lost in the noise.

If a subreddit for a class of products gets flooded with sale spam, low quality content, memes, it will push the users who create higher quality content away. The same for a subreddit about hobbies, if it's not curated to have a good intro FAQ and collection of guides for beginners, and good moderation that is empathetic but can enforce guidelines on questions that constantly pop up, it will push people away because of the noise.

Moderation on reddit is what can control the noise, with a low signal-to-noise ratio the power posters disappear.

Likely referencing this recent Amazon incident, where a Microsoft engineer was locked out of his Amazon accounts after an Amazon delivery driver reported racist remarks from his smart doorbell (misreported as Ring some places, apparently a Eufy tho). Trusting the engineer, that didn't happen, no one was home or responded to the driver, and the Amazon delivery driver seemingly misheard a pre-programmed response from the doorbell.

But that just shows you don't even need to be listening to a song with a slur in it to worry about this sort of thing.
"I think people underestimate just how powerful this is."

I cannot speak for other people, but I certainly see how powerful it is, yet also very unreliable. And for some reason I want everything in connection with a car to be reliable all of the times and not only most of them.
One of the reasons I stopped listening.
> Before, mods could run subreddits as they saw fit, users could choose the subreddits they participated in, and a user can always create a new subreddit if they don't think any existing ones suit their needs.

As a frequent Reddit user I don't agree with that. The network effects of subreddits plus the fact that they usually own the default name for a topic grant a lot of subs effective monopolies.

As a user if I don't like something about a certain subreddit including how it's moderated, the more realistic option is just to not participate in that subject matter on Reddit. I can still use Reddit for other topics but I feel like there's very rarely an alternative subreddit on the same topic which is anywhere near as active as the main one.

So, no offense to Reddit mods, but I really don't think these are all highly skilled, irreplaceable individuals. There's no competition that incentivizes the best people to rise to the top, these are just average folks that volunteered at the right time and now they're mods. There is apparently even a lot of cronyism among the mod community and I have heard that it can be hard to break into for first time mods.

If Reddit forces some of them out, there will be many people willing to step in who can do just as good of a job. It might even be a net positive thing to get new people involved.

That's surprising to read. HN has always felt fast to me.
The article mentions that a thing could change the core magnetic stuff, which deflects cosmic rays, and triggers other changes that in two weeks percolate up to an earthquake. This is a statistical finding, needs a theory to explain. I mean it could be some weird trajectories in a chaotic fluid flow of liquid iron in the core that causes both.
In general all you need is an explanation for a break in work history and there are billions that will satisfy interviewers and HR; at worst just say “health reasons” and then sue when you don’t get the job ;) (/sarcasm)
When I last played with it I was able to get quite good results with an A6400 and a phone as the gyro (the camera does not natively provide the data), except for when the rolling shutter is extreme, at which point it falls apart. The camera's notoriously slow sensor readout seems to be more than Gyroflow can accommodate for when it gets pushed.
> Why put any effort in making sure player locality influences the surrounding quest level, if player can go anywhere, let's put level appropriate enemy everywhere.

That's not how it works in Diablo 4, enemy scaling only comes into play if you go to an area that is naturally lower level than yours. Looking at the world map and hovering over areas shows their minimum "recommended" level, and enemies there will start at that level.

So you absolutely can go as a lvl 10 character to an area that expects you to be 40+ and get smacked down in a few hits by a basic lvl 40 minion.

It's not that it works for me really, it's I'm not the target market.

I obviously getting on in the years. I have a 17 year old Reddit account and I signed up for that at work!

I just don't use my phone for apps like Reddit. I use it for what I need to, calling, texting, delivery apps, banking, navigation, music and that's about it.

If I'm sitting in the doctor's office lounge too long I may fire up Reddit's official app otherwise I don't use it.

I can see the benefits Apollo and others bring, they look far better from all angles. I just don't need them.

But I'm not alone, that's why this whole fiasco will likely blow over. Most people don't know and/or don't care about these apps, but they use Reddit. The HN crowd is not your typical home user, or a "get off my lawn" type like myself. Even though I have multiple decades of working as a software engineer.

Now should they be doing this now? Should they be trying to rush this IPO and these profitability targets and whatever to get that big payout?

No, they shouldn't. But that's the choice they made.

>I find it difficult to believe that reddit will have a hard time finding competent mods within the remaining 99.996% of its userbase.

Competent - many I'm sure. Damn near anyone that has supervised people in just about any context is probably overqualified.

Competent and willing to put in hours of unpaid work dealing with crazy people and drama and bickering and spam deletion...less so.
