The same way people manage to decide whether to buy buns at the bakery on the right rather than the one on the left or donate to the NGO1 rather than NGO2 doing exactly the same, you ought to manage to judge which instance is a better fit or if it even matters in your case.

>why would all problematic users congregate on the same server? Isn’t it far more likely that you’ll have to block individual users across numerous servers to keep the platform sane?

Well, exactly. And who's doing all the blocking and filtering? What are the rules? And which community is better at reporting and keeping the instance the way you like it? What about your interests? If you join a busy generic instance, of course, you will become disinterested in your local timeline.
> That means the "actual jobs" are now being done by entrepreneurs, i.e., people who own their own businesses (or a significant share in them) and produce as owners instead of employees.

is this basically something like co-ops?
As the parent comment says, it's just another abstraction level. You have chosen a granularity, but even with "going to a website, enter your comment and click add comment" you are abstracting a lot. You are nto caring about connecting to a server, authentication, etc. The final user doesn't care about that at all, it's just telling the software to post a comment.

Right now the granularity may be "Comment on Hacker News article about UI this and this and that...", and in 100 years someone will say "But that's too complicated. You need to tell the IA which article to comment and what, while my new IA just guess it from reading my mind..."
I get your point, but think of it this way - if you kept your money in a bank without deposit insurance, while also borrowing money from said bank, and then the bank went under, sure your money is gone, but is it fair for the bank to say "hey we lost your money, but we still expect you to pay us back the money you borrowed".

That doesn't seem fair to me.
People downvote perfectly reasonable questions or comments here plenty often. And even more pile on if you dare to call this infantile behavior out.

Yes... I was agreeing with you. That's already the part of your analogy where you said "if you didn’t have house insurance".

They went during a brief weather window. One of the people on board had suggested just prior to departing that this was likely to be the only trip the vessel made this season. Rough phrasing in hindsight.
Unfortunately SFTP isn't a good replacement when speed is a concern, anything running over OpenSSH will have its bandwidth limited by the fixed window size. I long for the day when HPN-SSH replaces OpenSSH everywhere.

Can people please stop making this comment in reply to EVERY criticism of LLMs? "Humans are flawed too".

We do not normally hallucinate. We are sometimes wrong, and sometimes are wrong about the confidence they should attach to their knowledge. But we do not simply hallucinate and spout fully confidence nonsense constantly. That is what LLMs.

Aside from if Mr Breton really is in the position of the big ruler that dictates what companies can sell, if he keeps it on it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if Apple is going to say enough is enough, pull a big middle finger and stopped selling iPhones in the EU and leave it to gray imports.

Because all these Goody Two-shoes ideas from Mr Breton might result in a situation where Apple can only sell shitty Android like phones with an Apple logo on the back. And that’s just not what Apple does. EU is a big market but not that big, they can easily live without it. And then the question becomes how dearly the EU wants their innovative products and curated experiences. Before the iPhone went on sale in the EU we could see demand was pretty strong.
Not at all. Reddit has burned up all of its good will and users are actively looking for an alternative (which seems to be Lemmy at this point).

Apollo wouldn't even have to get all of its users over, even 10% would be a great start for organic growth.

Even more: It would catapult Apollo into an actual controlling role regarding its market share on the new platform.

Definitely seems a lot better than giving up. Reddit has confirmed its plans to die multiple times, so there's not much of a point still hoping for a change.

Exactly, each instance should have been separate communities tied via a “front page” that can also be self-hosted, using RSS to aggregate from each instanced community. Not multiple instances each with multiple similar communities that only serves to fracture an already minority of users.
I encourage you to go back and re-read my previous posts, paying attention in particular to what is asked of the company granted the monopoly in exchange for the charter.

To refresh, the companies are obligated to take on less and potentially uneconomical customers, and to provide them services at rates below what the market would ordinarily demand. This is done as a social good.

This puts the chartered monopoly at a potential disadvantage to competitors without a similar obligation, who are not required to bear the cost of provisioning service to those customers or can pick their markets more carefully.

Once again, the natural monopoly state is less service to fewer customers at a higher price.

Sorta, kinda. The total set of communities you wanted to participate in were likely spread across 2 or 3 major IRC servers, and possibly several smaller ones. Though out of all UX problems IRC had, this was arguably a minor issue. At the very least, registering an account didn't come with so many strings attached as it does on the web.

That said, IRC was an information black hole in just the same way Discord is, for the same reasons. In my personal experience, running an official channel alongside the official community mailing list was a huge PITA, as the very existence of that IRC channel required constant oversight and regular reminders of its subservient/non-binding role, as otherwise it would quickly end up with the whole community being taken over by a small group of people who had too much free time, and therefore could coordinate everything amongst themselves on IRC, in near real-time.

You could call it "OODA loop mismatch" - IRC and Discord run through their OODA loops an order of magnitude faster than mailing lists and discussion boards, and as a result, unless actively prevented, they take over the community and cut out people who can't keep pace.

>These games aren't selling, cause everyone can tell they've got nothing to say.

On the contrary they are selling more than ever. RE4 remake isn't too old yet and is smashing records set by what was an evergreen title 20 years ago. What major blockbuster remake bombed in the last few years?

>Steam's most played is plastered with games from 2015-2019 because nothing has knocked them off the throne yet.

The most played games are very specific, multiplayer genres, designed to be played for years on end. I see Counterstrike (Fps), DOTA (RTS), Rust (survival),TF2 (Fps), Call of Duty (FPS, and a Remake to boot), GTA V (the 2nd highest selling game of all time, from 2011), etc.

If you don't value those 3 genres or have already played 3000 hours of GTA V and are done, I don't see how this list is of value.
I would think they want to hear what your device sells for. If you're going to charge me $1 per unit on something that costs only three figures, I'm telling you to take a hike.

This can be fairly gracefully handled by using a caching library with tag support. On a webpage that collates content from disparate parts of a CMS, you just tag the page content cache with the ID's of all the entities that make it up. Then you define a save/delete handler that purges caches tagged with the ID of whatever you just altered.
I don't understand why we would want everything to be accessible from search engines. What's wrong with joining a Discord server and searching there?

In cases where whatever is being produced inherently cannot be produced without a very large number of people acting in coordination (for example, designing and building cars in a large factory), yes, the mode of production I am describing would basically be a co-op. The problem at that scale, of course, is that each individual owner's share is now so small that they lose confidence that their input will have significant weight in business decisions. It's not impossible to operate co-ops effectively at this scale, but observation suggests it's very difficult, which is why such co-ops are rare compared to conventional corporations for operations at this scale.

But there is no reason why all production, or even a majority of production, needs to be of a kind that must be produced that way. Most entrepreneurs own small businesses, and most businesses in existence are small businesses, and in some sectors of the economy (for example, many kinds of services), small businesses actually do most of the production, and much of the production is indeed done by the owners, not by employees they hire. So in an economy where everyone was an entrepreneur, much if not most of the production would be done that way, much as it is now, only more so.
ARGH! How does one do code on this site?

How does this deal with escape analysis etc? I can't see how to implement this without vm changes or extreme code transforms which would be antithetical to the spirit of typescript.
I've mostly evolved to making err a named return parameter, and inverting the err != nil check. For example:

func foo() (err error) {
var x any
if x, err = bar(); err == nil {
err = baz(x)
}
if err == nil {
err = bat()
}
if err != nil {
err = fmt.Errorf("%w doing foo <additional info here>", err)
}
return
}

This feels somewhat cleaner to me, in particular by combining error handling (in this case just a simple wrap) in a single place at the end of the function.
>what instance do I join?

The answer is "both of them". Pick a client that makes it the easiest to connect to separate instances on separate accounts, then choose the same-ish username.

Federation is, fundamentally, an anti-feature that exists solely to create liabilities for the end user as, by design, it empowers people who should not be empowered to destroy your social graph arbitrarily (the "not sharing my ban list is bannable" problem plagues the Fediverse).

This is not something the people writing the documentation understand (or worse, the above is a feature for them), but the correct way to use the service is to engage atomically under multiple different identities rather than be caught in the fallout of petty admin slapfights, just like signing up for a bunch of different phpBB forums was before the rise of Digg/Reddit.

VPTERNLOGD is a mouthful but is fun to think about.

Notice there are 4 functions mapping 1 bit -> 1 bit: const 0, const 1, copy, invert.

There are 16 functions mapping 2 bits -> 1 bit. Think 4 possible inputs, 2 possible output values for each input (0 or 1), so there are 2^4 = 16 such functions.

Likewise 256 functions mapping 3 bits -> 1 bit: 8 possible inputs, 2 possible output values for each input, so 2^8 = 256 such functions.

This means that the set of functions 3 bits -> 1 bit may be indexed by a single byte! With this instruction, you specify the byte as an immediate, it is interpreted as an index into a function table, and so you get any 3-valued boolean function.

I wonder if we'll see a similar instruction for 2 bits -> 2 bits? Could be useful!
Amazing how many such cases we see: "Once I looked upto Elon, but now not anymore". This almost always occurs due to a very specific pathology: You've inferred motives based on outcomes. When he was focused on SpaceX, Tesla he was "earnest", "sincere", "cool". When he focuses on right wing politics and twitter, he's a "wannabe", "selfish", "duplicitous", there are many such descriptions I see online. The only conclusion I can come to upon seeing sentences like this is that you live in a comic book reality. When people have good outcomes, they decidedly have noble and good intentions, when people have bad outcomes, they have evil and selfish intentions. The possibility that someone can have objectively horrible outcomes with noble, pure intentions or vice versa does not exist in this world. To someone who does not live in a comic book, Elon has always had pure and earnest motives, in the sense that if he acted duplicitous he was not consciously aware of it. He does believe he is saving free speech, making humans multi-planetary, saving the environment, saving lives with autopilot etc. Now whether his earnest desires are leading to good real world outcomes is probably something you disagree with and that is a judgement you can make, yet it's very weird when you make assumptions on motivations. In the comic book world:

1. Journalists who often lead to good outcomes are earnest and moral in stature while when you actually interact with journalists you would realize they are easily the scum of the earth and the most deceptive group in real life to ever exist. You do not want to be their friend. When journalists are aware of their pathology you get amazing lines like: (from Hamilton Nolan in Gawker):
"
Because journalism, particularly at the highest level, is about raw power. It is about bringing important people to heel, on behalf of the public.
All I know is that there is only one way the press maintains its power in society: by metaphorically putting the heads of powerful people on pikes. If the Post and all the other respectable media outlets lose their ability to do that, powerful people will, by extension, stop caring what the well-informed segment of the public thinks.
"

2. Non Profit's often have very noble intentions and high aspirations Yet, a very large number of Non Profit's are the worst thing to happen to the society they're trying to help. One only needs to look at the drug problem at SF and their enablers, but one can also marvel at the death toll of the Arab Spring.
It's not the same. You can try the very query above "how do you configure eslint errors to warnings".

Using Google with Bard, the regular results from Google search for me are:

1) Is it possible to show warnings instead of errors on ALL of eslint rules?
2) Configure Rules - ESLint - Pluggable JavaScript Linter
3) ESLint Warnings Are an Anti-Pattern

None of them answers the question directly. Bard on the other hand returns with:

To configure ESLint errors to warnings, you can either:
- Set the severity of the rule to "warn" in your ESLint configuration file.
- Use the eslint-disable-next-line comment to disable the rule for a single line of code.
For example, to set the severity of the "no-unused-vars" rule to "warn", you...

I'm not familiar with eslint and have no idea if the answer is correct, but it's definitely a more concise and to the point, and an upgrade over the regular search.
This website hasn't changed in a decade. They need to reimplement it in NextJS or something.
This view of asset custody is uninformed, and it's designed to reinforce an ignorant worldview that would qualify as hate speech against any other group.

The reason these jurisdictions exist is because when you have pension funds that need to pay their members over a long horizon, you need to hold the assets in a place with a legal framework that has the incentives and protections to be able to make those payment guarantees. Sovereign wealth funds also need management, and you can't leave the money where some regime is going to loot the treasury to keep themselves in power instead of supporting the conditions that return growth.

If your understanding of money is something that you just debase yourself and accumulate resentments for, and then compensate for it by indulging in small acts of malice and deprivation, consider what you are putting out into the world before you complain about what you (or "the people") are getting back.

Except that with e-mail there are obvious good reasons, which basically boil down to whether you've centered your digital life around the Google, Microsoft, or Apple ecosystems (or never moved away from Yahoo, etc.).

These are recognizably proven brands that aren't going to disappear next year, and which integrate with your other tools in ways that clearly provide benefit.

And back in the day before webmail was a thing, your ISP gave you an e-mail address so you didn't pick at all.

But none of these are even remotely applicable to Mastodon instances. So I'm not sure that e-mail is actually a helpful analogy at all here.
Yes. Also the ballot question was extremely obfuscated. My gf voted against it not knowing what it was.
A big benefit comes from having branchless code. For example, if you have an if/else statement where the consequent acts on some elements of the vector and the antecedent acts on the others, you can perform them all with no branch, by taking the mask resulting from the condition for the consequent instructions, then complementing the mask and applying the antecedent to the same registers. This can also have predictable performance, because all instructions from the consequent and antecedent are executed each time, and there are no branch prediction misses to worry about. It's very useful for timing sensitive code (cryptography), and situations where you want a measurable WCET.
I dunno how this was double posted...

I think the main reason: the forum is expensive. They cost a big chunk of money to set up for a large community.

And they missed so many features like a mobile app and notifications. And a lot of things that Discord offered.
There isn't even a single Reddit app. And the whole point of federation is that you can use a single account to post on any instance
Entities DO hide their money in tax havens to avoid paying taxes. They avoid paying taxes BECAUSE tax havens have low or no taxes. Those two definitions are defining two ends to the same thing.
The caymans have low or minimal taxes. The caymans are also used by entities to hide their money so they don’t have to pay taxes. Entities are not incorporating in the Caymans for any reason other than avoiding taxes.
And the actual definition of a tax haven specifically is “a country or independent area where taxes are levied at a low rate.”
I have no info on what he banned or blocked. All I am saying is if someone wants a KKK platform or a white hate platform then so be it. As long as they are not harming anyone physically or financially it is fair game. We can't have this now for some reason but I grew up in a time when it was allowed. Nothing bad happened unlike today. The more things are banned the more bad thing happen. Maybe stop banning things? Just a suggestion from personal experience.
Preparing for the AI-generated deluge of disinformation
> Most of the time, when people have a question, they don't know what the question is exactly. If they did, they probably could find the answer on the internet.

Counterpoint: selection bias. Most of the people who have a question are the ones who failed to find the answer on the Internet. Chat is good for them, but if chat is the only thing that's left, then much more people will have no choice but to either join the chat and ask questions that could've been trivially answered with a search, or just ignore whatever it is your community is doing/promoting/supporting.

> They benefit immensely from having real time questioning and feedback with someone knowledgeable helping them to dissect their problem into a real question and answer.

Counterpoint: that's only if you're lucky and happen to ask the question when right people are present, willing, and not busy with an ongoing conversation. Otherwise, you'll be spending unpredictable amount of time trying to ensure your question gets seen or answered. And that happens for any question, regardless of how many times it was asked and answered before. Tiring and inefficient.

> Discords are not searchable but if someone is there to chat with, that is infinitely better for you, in that moment.

Exactly. If. That's a big if for smaller communities - and for larger ones, the question becomes if anyone notices your question in the flood of ongoing conversations.

> The user experience of stack overflow is garbage, for example.

It's kind of the polar opposite of Discord, or even Reddit - the experience is bad for participants, but great for passer-bys looking for already-written answers to already-asked questions.
