I've been dealing with serverless since 2018 and have a company with a 100% serverless and open-source product (webiny.com). I'm not sure I fully agree with your 4 issues and the fact that Web Assembly is the answer.

"Serverless functions are slow" -> not really, only if designed poorly

"DX serverless functions is sub-par" -> where's your proof, again you'll have bad experience as a developer only if you don't know what you're doing. Which I see mainly from people trying to approach building serverless applications by having a container-like mindset and that leads them to bad design choices.

"Serverless functions come with vendor lock in" -> I think most of us are beyond the point of that vendor locking is bad choice. Worse choice is picking a sub-optimal technology with lower performance, higher cost and lesser reliability.

"Cost eventually gets in the way" -> Again, only if you don't know what you're doing and make bad design choices.

When it comes to Web Assembly, I don't see how this is a better choice of technology vs something like Node. In node I have a much wider support of the technology than WA (talk about vendor-locking), I have a proven eco system of libraries, knowledge and a much bigger talent pool to source from. The cold start issue you mentioned on your website, I can tell you first hand, the cold start is not really that big of a problem, not big enough that you would want to switch to a different technology and there are many ways to mitigate the cold start problem.

Just saying, I'm far from convinced that there is a benefit in switching. I would love to see more detailed benchmarks and examples I would be able to replicate than just statements in a blog post.
These all sounds great and if nothing else would be great starting points. And most importantly would be a basis for win/win solution.

I’ve listened to the Apollo guy on a Vergecast interview and he went out of his way to compliment the Reddit CEO and never took any of the opportunities given to fuel the fire. Maybe this Canadian thing is real? =)

Thinking out loud… or my latest random thought…

Reddit Premium users can use 3rd party apps effectively unrestricted and with no ads. In turn, Reddit would pay the 3rd apps say 25 to 35% of the premium fees they collect to the 3rd party app.

Non-premium users can use 3rd party apps but ads must be pushed through and NSFW related material is blocked.
Listing it per server design (with groups) makes sense to me.

It wouldn't make sense to include measured idle time in the energy numbers you'd include in model documentation. Maybe that could go in a monthly report somewhere, but that's a different topic.
Not yet. I am about to switch. My domain bill will jump by more than 50% (comparing Gandi after 13 July 2023 with Netim for prices on renewals), and Netim came up top for an EU company doing renewals.
Epic had their tail between their legs because the law wasn't on their side. The whole point is that if the law is modified, and these aspects of Apple's operating systems are designed by legislation, Epic would prevail in court. And there's no reason to think Apple could make side-loading onerous, because Epic will complain to the courts about anything that stands in the way of a seamless install of the Epic Games Store on an iPhone.

That's not equivalent to the status quo on Android.
Yeah but a two-page font size 20 alternative proposal would introduce a thousand obvious and another ten thousand non-obvious loopholes, much like that double negative of yours. (I'm not trying to be a grammar Nazi, English isn't my native lang either) One of the reasons why the Constitution of USA has to be interpreted constantly is because it's relatively short and vague.
I like my iPhone the way it is.
I also agree that this attitude is much more common in Europe than the US. Founders and CTOs constantly blowing their feet off because they can't seem to give technical people any power, and it doesn't seem to be changing any time soon. I think you would need a big FAANG-like talent feeder to convince them otherwise

Now that subreddits have gone private , its even more difficult to get good result. Adding "reddit" to the end of the query is of no help.
So, is it time for Yahoo! 2.0 yet? Years ago I read a blog post talking about the next big ideas (Joel Spolsky?) and the one that stood out was a new search engine. At the time I thought it was a crazy idea; who|what would|could replace Google?! Now, I'm not so sure the idea was crazy at all.

The Reddit discussions over the past few days have got me thinking about how a lot of folks interact with it, and not just as a forum. Yahoo! was great in it's time because it was human moderated. Maybe we can get back to that by building a search engine out of Reddit style discussions, kinda like micro "search engines".

Or maybe I just described Stack Exchange. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I've used tuntox (https://github.com/gjedeer/tuntox) with Emacs' CRDT.el (https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/crdt.html) to setup serverless collaborative editing between Emacs users. It works quite well for pairing and is much smoother than video calling on dodgy networks.
I imagine that part of the problem is that so far LLMs have primarily been "language in; language out". They are almost always used with the input and output wired up to a human, whereas for voice control (I.e. not just answering questions) you need it to produce structured output for the computer behind it to understand. There certainly has been some success in that area, like the article about JSON from GPT4 posted yesterday [1]

I'm quite certain that Amazon and the others will be putting a lot of time into investigating this avenue, it's just not ready for rollout yet. I'm looking forward to it - I have an Echo and it definitely does use a lot of fuzzy matching to understand basic rewording of queries, but it's still very much a limit set of defined "functions", just with a fuzzy call site. The user has to handle the breaking down of their high-level intent into small requests from those primitives, and keep all the "variables" in their head and pass them to each "function call". Smarter assistants that can remember context is something that's been worked on and allegedly deployed almost since the start, but ChatGPT is the only thing I've seen that lives up to the promise in the real world

Does entirely mean:

Renouncing US citizenship?

?Moving out of the US with children

Buying a home and declaring ?residency outside the US

These to me are what define leaving entirely.

Taking a gap year, for example, does not count.
In my opinion it's about time to clarify rules and standards for automated systems that can for example kill someone if their output is incorrect.
Speculative execution is not fixed in modern CPUs? Or this is related to old ones?_
Me having sideloading doesn’t impose anything on you either.
No-one would call Zelda an ARPG. You just need to live with the fact that the term has come to mean something else.
I like the new Reddit UI for mobile web compared to old.reddit.
How do we access reddit with noscript/basic (x)html browsers?
3rs party clients users are banned the moment they find out about them because for them to find out, they must be doing API abuse. Otherwise, they could just go in the betterDiscord server and ban everyone there.

I think discords model is fundamentally better because however useless the paid features are,2 there actually are features to speak of. HD streaming, higher upload limits and global emojis are fundamentally not that important, but you do get something out of paying. You also feel like you're sponsoring several free users, while paying for reddit gold just puts a shiny badge on a post, gives you access to a useless private club that has no direction (which is by design) and removes ads for a month.
Can French understand French from the Middle Ages or even later? No. And this is likely the case for all languages.

I am French and have a soft spot for French Middle Ages history and culture (completely amateur interest, and very shallow).

I tried to read MA texts. It is really difficult, and gets a tiny bit easier when you understand the calligraphy. As for the meaning, this is basically a foreign language.

When you know what the text is about, you can work out some words and the meaning of some sentences. But only some, and this some is rather small.

I heard spoken MA French and it is not understandable at all.

Languages change much more than we expect it. My son texted me a moment ago "Oe ptdr g vu". Kudos if you guessed that this is teenage French, and congrats to you understood what he meant (when you are not French and a parent of teenagers:))
PyPy v7.3.12 Release
> Instead Reddit decided to escalate. Declare war on the people who make their service possible. It was the dumbest possible move they could make for their business. The decision makers behind this must operate in one hell of an echo chamber.

There is absolutely no way they are not aware of this.

No, they've made a conscious decision that completely alienating and driving away the parts of the communities which care about all of this stuff is a price they're willing to pay.

It seems pretty clear that they believe the people who will leave are not crucial enough (in function and number) to make the overall communities collapse, and that the result they want to achieve is worth the losses.

>only supported 3G - a networking standard that has been turned off by the major carriers.

Remember, the US is not the world. What major carriers do in the US is not necessarily a global fact. Where I live 2G and 3G is still a fallback if 4G or 5G doesn't work. It will continue to be that way until 2025.

>If your motorcycle only supported leaded gas could you use it?

Google lead replacement additive or think about whether the engine could be rebuilt/replaced on a motorcycle. I certainly would prefer an engine rebuild/replace over replacing a modem in an iPhone 3GS.

>the iPhone from 2009 was an iPhone 3GS, it had a 320x480 screen, 256MB of RAM

The iPhone from 2009 wasn't that impressive in specs compared to other phones at the time. My even older 2.5G dumbphone had higher PPI on the screen and could run useful j2me apps. In 2010, the iPhone 4 came, had a 640x960 screen and 512MB of RAM. The fact that the specs could be doubled within a year shows that the earlier 3GS wasn't pushing anything spec wise.
>>Based on what?

Based on the simple fact that nearly all companies care about the money first and foremost. 30% of your sales is a larger motivator than being or not being able to track your users(and I'm not even sure that argument even holds with Android 12 and beyond, it's been really reined in). Or would you disagree?

>>Sure, because the Play Store is already a colossal mess.

I'm not sure I understand how that's related to what I said. Again, corporation like Amazon has all the incentive to push you towards their own app store, yet it just simply doesn't happen at all. If they don't do it, why would smaller companies do it?

>>I begrudgingly use an iPhone but I don't want the Google experience in any way shape or form.

I get the impression reading these comments that people seem to think that if you are on android you just randomly go on the Play Store and install stuff almost without thinking? Yes it's a problem that malware sometimes slips through. But 30 million installs is nothing compared to the userbase. And most people just get a phone, download the regular set of apps they use every day, and then they never ever open the play store again - why would they? The existence(or lack of) of 3rd party stores doesn't matter to majority of people on the platform, because they just never install any extra apps at all.

Neural Kernel Surface Reconstruction
> It was a computer that was not programmable out of the box by the user.

That depends on what you mean by "out of the box." It's true that no development tools were included, but they were available from third parties. I wrote the code for my masters thesis in 1986 using Coral Common Lisp on a Mac Plus, so if you wanted to program a Mac you certainly could.
May you consider .it domains? Oh, and prices in EUR for EU folks. Would be nice to have VAT included too :)
Four trends that are challenging to refute at scale are:

- debt, both public and private sector

- demographic cratering

- diminished participation in communities of faith

- increased use of drugs, prescribed or otherwise

Now, to what degree "'twas ever thus", and to what degree that technology has allowed greater focus on sensational aspects of these points would be of interest.

Delving past the abstract and into this paper might or might not illuminate that point. I like the contrarian take, as the "Chicken Little" panic is the easy road.
Create a new Discord account and give it the same permissions as your current account.

Then take a clean paper and write 100 times - "I will never ever use a Google account for anything important."

Hope it helps.
This is pretty interesting.

I'm wondering, if the current Reddit civil war between spez and the mods would be best handled by a similar arrangement. Create two federated, in a loose definition of the word, Reddits...one run by Reddit and mods spez approves, and one run by the same way its run now. Users could choose which version to use. Posts and comments come from the same source, but mod actions are unique to each version.

Not that Reddit would ever do that.
FWIW, I’ve only seen that version of their comment, so if they edited it, it was very quickly.
Having worked at a domain registrar over 10 years ago, it was a whole lot of paperwork, compliance and very little profit in it. That's why everyone is trying to sell you addon services when you buy a domain. Customer support is also an issue, there's always this one case where someone lost control over their domain that consumes a whole lot of time.
Is there a term for a country where ...

- there are so many laws and regulations,
that everybody is violating some of them

- therefore only a tiny fraction can be
brought to court

- therefore everybody lives in the constant
fear that they suddenly arbitrarily get
crushed

?
ChatGPT and stable diffusion are killing people now? I think incorrect output of regular software is actually killing people but we don't need a license to write code.
> Actually it was an optional refund: you could keep waiting and maybe get some hardware eventually

This wasnt the case! I was a backer and the actual email sent stated:

"we’ve decided to give everyone who was expecting castAR hardware a free pair of consumer castAR at release and will be fully reimbursing your Kickstarter backings if you follow the process we describe in a FAQ. You believed in us, so you get a castAR for free once the consumer product is released."

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/technicalillusions/cast...

You never gave an option to wait, never sent the "free" device, and (most annoyingly) didnt even inform castAR backers about the tilt5 kickstarter, so this is the first time I have heared about it!

I appreciate castAR went bankrupt (and that you reimbursed backers beforehand - a most honorable thing to do in the kickstarter world), so not expecting tilt5 to honour the free device, just clarifying your confusion over what was actually stated :)

p.s. what was the gift you sent out with the refund? I never got one as IIRC I would have had to pay for shipping to EU.
well, what good is it when google indexes ANYTHING? even cohost appears high in results nowadays... and dont get me started about how google includes also crap generated by llms... google is on its course of devalueing itself.

the human internet is probably doomed. long live the llm generated internet

oh which gives me an idea: fake users as a service: using llm to generate comments for reddit after the dark
> integration into the existing Linux security stack

It's less about integration into the security stack. It's just that the implementation of io_uring is hard to get right, and at 2023 there seems to be an endless stream of race condition bugs. Quite like user namespaces ten years ago. It doesn't matter how good your security design is. Hackers just find a memory corruption bug and get around everything.

To be fair it isn't endless, finding an io_uring bug which can be exploited to cause memory corruption and ultimately kernel code execution in 5.15 tree is measurably harder now. But io_uring moves very fast and it's an entirely different story for mainline kernels.
How popular is moveit transfer? I've never heard of it before, seems to be some sort of ftp server.

Anyways, unless the install base is really huge, i doubt an sql injection in some app is going to be equivalent to solar winds. This sounds more like just a typical vuln that happened to be exploited in the wild.
Because your phone is a binary state. You know, it’s either works out of box, or suddenly turns into Arch the moment there appears a toggle to allow installing apps.
That leads to a tricky question then... Would you still contribute if you weren't employed there? ;)
>The only places I’ve seen this dogma is here on HN, in GitHub issues about gaslighting [^0], and on r/opensource.

Part of the problem is the "Open Software Foundation" likes to take a bunch of corporate money and then pen definitions of what "really is" and "really isn't" open source that people pick up on.
This is great, thank you! Promptclub and ChainForge look exactly what I need.
Considering that Google can't even do search right anymore. It's probably a good idea for them to offload things.
I think it still looks bad in a security audit if you use OpenSSL 1.1.1 with RedHat patches on Windows or Mac. Not sure how much platform specific code is actually there.
It seems like discord tolerates alternative clients, so long as they are not used for abuse, but this is indeed not a good situation. Discord is very far from a paragon of user choice and privacy, but it'll take a fair few screwups from them to disrupt the network effect now.

And I agree on the company size: it is hard for me to understand what those employees are doing to make reddit run, considering the nature of the platform.
If it's a viable option, why not give users the benefit?
kbin has dedicated up/downvote buttons and counts, just like good old.reddit
I can imagine conversing with a voice assistant if it could process complex language queries, rather than the current restricted tasks (e.g., setting alarms, playing music, checking the weather, turning on lights).

Research in this area is flourishing, so it is certain that LLMs will improve. The popularity of LLMs is partly due to the fact that it has become natural to interact with an "intelligent" computer program. ChatGPT makes this natural, and combining a smart speaker with LLMs would make it even more so.

Enabling a "closed" conversation mode initially, similar to what the free version of ChatGPT does, would be harmless unless people take language model-generated words as absolute truth. This mode could be used to learn new things while cooking and save long conversations to a notes app for later reference. Wouldn't this be an attractive feature for buyers?
There are, at both ends. Both the "script kiddies" who cannot deviate from scripts because they lack almost any knowledge at all; and the knowledgeable ones who know that there are subtle differences between sudo and doas which require doing things slightly differently to achieve the same effect.

* https://github.com/Duncaen/OpenDoas/issues/116#issuecomment-...
Agreed. But and then... making small stories only works well for a limited horizon. So, now your estimating only works for planning ahead a limited time. You use that to build a general confidence in having a constant stream of feature output. And the same people can then make some assumptions about future projects, based on similar projects in the past. Which works great for feature factories, less so for committing to a tight, hard deadline for a big project that exceeds the limited horizon.
I missed tree tab extension in Firefox the most, now I'm using Brave and they just added vertical tab bar, which does the job for me. Strongly recommend it. Also they don't revamp the top bar every update with cool new color themes.

I'm surprised it hasn't been submitted before.
None of this is available in the Reddit API (at least the one used by 3rd party apps).
For a lot of people, they are just paying $20 to have the book. It makes them feel nice through the act of purchase or building a collection. Or maybe it provides a safety blanket if you might need it one day, but no need to read it right now. That's a good deal for them.
>where the AI system poses a significant risk of harm to the health

We've seen pushes from both sides to redefine anything they disagree with as harmful to mental health.
> I get it that sometimes crap slips through, no system is bulletproof.

What’s the point of suffering walled garden if it’s not even bulletproof?
I don't know where this will end up in, but I know I can:

No, it shows that we need to build companies where employees have stake in the company and means to affect it's direction.

Because otherwise you are always fighting an uphill battle and get boiled like a frog when things inevitably start to go south.
It's unlikely that the legal landscape will be such that you would need to hide this at all. It would require a reversal of precedent on the legality of scraping and that training data is ruled to not be fair use.

And yet they have the clickbait headline. Overweight and obese people already have their body in a constant state of inflammation, and their blood sugar control probably isn't great either.
I wonder if they controlled for insulin resistance and prediabetes, which is related to obesity.
Thanks! I couldn’t find that. Notably, no mention of if the GCP Cloud Domains product is affected or the status of Google’s TLDs.
The organizations that release the models already provide (brag about) their model performance. They could simply include in the same report the info about the energy spent doing the training/finetuning/inference, per X tokens.

This doesn't necessarily measure every use, just "manufacturer's spec", the same you get for eg energy class for house appliances (at least in the EU). Nobody goes around measuring refrigerator power usage, but when you're buying one, you get a rough indication of how "green" (or not) it is.
Look at it from the viewpoint of someone with sufficient wealth: income taxes are wonderful, because they only apply to realised income. (and there is a whole cottage industry devoted to ways to cumulate gains without realising income)
