What reddit should've done. Created their own ad network, given 3rd party apps 50/50 split. Win/Win. Make that add network the only one allowed in mobile apps. At first it could just be an ad server over other ad networks, until the fill spots with their own ads.
Linkedin is probably the most cringy “social” site in the internet, I never understood how it became the “professional” or the defacto for business social network, to the point some companies require you having one..
Well this isnt going to help Chicago gun deaths.
The anecdote is definitely „food for thought“. It became kind of a ritual for me to revisit the article every time a new US president gets into office.
Opposite actually. An example is r/drama, who was forbidden from tagging anyone with a literal hard-coded exception to the system. But spez iirc specifically said that they were still allowed to ping him .
Beginning of my MD PhD program a guy who was big in that field and tried small scale trials gave a whole schpill about how big pharma was unfairly blocking this. Then I spent over an hour talking to him about it. This field has a huge challenge finding a consistent and reproducible outcome to aim for. When I pressed the guy he was pretty clear that there were participants in these studies that has pretty bad outcomes and would have been in bad shape if there wasnt a medical team on hand.

Im sure we will find a use for this someday but research has to do more than prove it is sometimes good for people. We need to know how to consistently identify those people who need it and the outcome desired.
WYSYWIG does indeed mean "What You See Is What You Get."

A WYSIWYG editor is an editor that shows the text with all formatting, exactly how it will look once it's "printed". You know, like Word or Google Docs. But unlike when you edit markdown or latex in a plain text editor. For example, writing comments on this site isn't WYSIWYG.
So you went from “it doesn’t exist”, “Apple doesn’t support it”, “it’s a hack” to “maybe it’s too much of a power draw?

> Have fun living in the reality distortion field, I hope you wake up one day.

Yes a standardized Bluetooth profile that has been available on iOS devices for over a decade is “not reality”.

And now your excuse is that “maybe Bluetooth takes too much battery life”?

> This is a limitation common across non-Apple smartwatches on iOS

Have you ever thought that Android devices makers who are competing on price decide it’s not worth making the investment in supporting iOS devices since the Apple Watch is so dominant?

I told you exactly how it could be done using an existing Bluetooth standard that Apple has supported for over a decade. You’re really pulling at straws.

You could also at one point send “canned messages” from third party watches before the Apple Watch was introduced.

And here is an existence proof

And I’m sure that’s all crappy Android watch makers with horrible processors and battery life would have to do to convince Apple Watch owners to switch is to enable message replies.
Yep, and that's why as the parent comment mentioned the threat is from what it does to content creators and mods - the passive lurkers and consumers don't care about the API but they do care about the content they show up to reddit for and if that tanks they'll have no reason to stay
It's generally accepted that using trademarks in this sort of descriptive fashion is non-infringing, so long as it's necessary to describe the purpose of the product and doesn't imply that the product is produced or endorsed by the trademark holder.
This looks slick, and I don't see a record of a data breach. I'll give it a shot!
You don't need them (other than a basic level for legal compliance). In fact, most social media does not have moderation in the sense we see in Reddit.

What the Reddit model provides, and your example lacks, is a shared reality. There is a bit of variation with comment orders (both different view modes and some fuzzing); but for the most part, two users viewing the same community at the same time see the same thing. Without that type of shared reality, it is essentially impossible to build the type of community/unique subreddit cultures we see in Reddit today.

Most social media doesn't do this. HN does. Twitter and Tumblr operate operate as more of a social web. Most content gets spread by users reposting it, propogating it through their network. In that way, the accounts you follow act primarily as the "moderators" for your view of reality. No two people see the same reality, and it is incredibly difficult for distinct subcultures to emerge; and even more difficult to participate in multiple subcultures, as your view of reality does not distinguish between them.

There is also the TikTok model of a super-charged algorithm employing black magic. Or Youtube's model of algorithmic discovery, combined with meaningful subscriptions to particular creators.

The other question is one of labor. The motivation for most moderators in Reddit is control over a community (which can be either a good or bad thing). If you take the community away, then all you are left with is unpaid labor. Unless you can have individual posters say "I want to post to the moderated list X", in which case you are back to the original model.

Most reddit communities have policys restricting cross posting, and "brigading" across communities is generally not allowed by site-wide rules. Having a model where your content goes to everyone, and is then blacklisted by specific mod lists is essentially auto-brigading everything by design.

Again, this is not nessasarily a bad thing. Plenty of social media does it this way. But it is meaningfully different from how Reddit works.
I got to meet him once at a protest at the nuclear test site — back in those days when we were still setting off bombs in holes in the ground. Took a couple of pictures... https://social.kernel.org/notice/AWl7MdCuvetRLGReEq
Yeah I've been very happy. Carplay is light years better than Android Auto. That was one of the biggest worries I had as I used AA a LOT.
sort of. From a user perspective, the app security model is brokered (by a store) while the web security model is a direct ad-hoc relationship to whoever [you _think_] owns the domain you are on. Apps tend to need reviews for republication, while a website could change owners (through acquisition, domain expiry or other exploit) at any given time.

Modern systems sandbox both application access for security exploit reasons as well as user privacy reasons. The web lets apps talk to one another arbitrarily, embed one another in frames, and so on.

Because of this, hardware access will always be significantly more constrained than store-reviewed apps.

I'll defer to Carmack's personal experience on this one.
The money made with the IP is taxable.

I can support your proposal only if the IP taxes are deductible from incoming tax.
The fact that John Carmack thinks he needs to respond to articles targeted at the general population is a little bit surprising to me. Is it not obvious to John that he is at least 4-5 standard deviations from the mean here?

I would be more than happy to listen to John talk about what works for him and strategies that he finds effective. But hearing him try and critique articles targeted at the average person or average developer or even average 10x developer... like... Does he not understand how different other people's lives are than his? It reminds me of when you hear politicians try and talk about the struggles of regular people. It is so cringe.
This is ridiculous and really only happens because the cost of securing your customer (or citizen) data is higher than the cost of losing control of it. If the cost of losing data to hacks was, say three times higher than the cost estimated to secure it, the problem would become much less common very quickly.

As it is, states and corporations externalize the costs of hacks to the victims of their incompetence. They have no reason to take opsec seriously because they aren't held liable in even the most egrigious cases. Data should be a liability.
Because that’s what futures are for? Consumers and producers of commodities want to lock in prices to lower the risk of price fluctuations in the future.

> Has an AI already been used to improve itself, or create another AI?

To the extent OSS community uses GPT-3 and GPT-4 to generate training data for training open models, AI is indeed being used to improve itself.

Runaway self-improving AI doesn't need to be - and is, initially, unlikely to be - a single instance of a model improving itself at runtime. AI models being used to directly or indirectly increase capabilities of other AI models fits the bill too.
Since the fuel will be encased in copper, and copper is quite valuable, I see a future, some centuries or millenia from now, where people will try to steal it, without realizing the dangers associated. With bad side effects as consequence.
why waste dev hours on api's that will be basically closed in a month?
You are almost getting it :)

EDIT: Sorry for the snark. The answer is: unequal access to capital, opportunities, connections, not to mention "intangibles" like education, safety, free time, comfort, lack of caring responsibilities, etc. Was 86-DOS superior to its competitors (or was Bill Gates a uniquely talented/hardworking individual)? Probably not, but he did have every advantage possible: most importantly lots of money and his mum putting in a word for him with IBM's CEO (and the rest, they say, is history ;))
Yes, because some actors don't want to follow suit.
Feel free to not trade in this market then. “Mom they won’t share” is also not a particularly convincing way to justify the right to other people’s money.
You're trying to beg the question that "the point" must be: "which thing is wasting the most power right now?" It's not. People can talk about at least two things at once. This is critiquing the diminishing returns in terms of cost-per-output. It compares badly, on a unit level, to most other methods. That's a fair critique when planning which technique to use in the future.

Articles are often talking about something that won't end up mattering. But if you can't actually address the point the article is making on its own terms, you're going to struggle to refute it.
What is going on with the linked page, some kind of search engine optimization? The article just goes on and on with barely related facts…
We use it for devshells, and it’s awesome. New devs install nix and direnv and they instantly have all the right versions of all of our tooling. A first day setup process is now done in minutes instead of a day. Flakes made it possible for us to package up internal and external tools and ensure consistency across a team.

I have no experience running it in production, but I imagine if you don’t want to use containers it’d be a pretty good option.
Musk also erased half the market value of Twitter. Is that what Reddit wants to do, cut the valuation in half?
> Why didn't they just incrementally increase API pricing or implement policies that slowly kill off 3rd party apps one at a time?

I guess that the goal is not to kill all the 3rd party apps, but only those that make profit from the Reddit API (which doesn't include their advertising if I understand well). Now assuming that a progressive price increase would be put in place, I guess that these apps would simply offload the API tax to their user base with each new raise. As it has been mentioned elsewhere in this discussion, with an abrupt price raise in a very short time, the apps would not have enough treasury to be able to "buffer" the cost until the users pick the pace up - assuming users would, which is perhaps a more important (read: long term) worry.

It should be observed that the goal is not to kill off all 3rd party apps, since there are special exemptions for non commercial apps. I don't know if these exemptions are actually useable in practice, or if actually this is just a part of a larger scheme to get rid of all those apps while having a plausible line of deniability.

It is certainly sad for iOS users as Apollo seems to be their only option besides the web site, but I wonder why they did not see that coming miles away. Maybe they did expect a price to show up at some point, but not with such a magnitude.
It's easy to test it with something unpublished
Look. This is an exceedingly stupid thread and I should know better than to comment on it. But clearly you 2 are arguing about the definition of a “no-go” zone, which is not rigorously defined.

But you’ve posited in this comment that one criteria is the count of people getting shot in the last month. By that argument River North[0] is a no go zone. Which, perhaps it is for you, but thats not an interesting social commentary because it means that effectively all urban US neighborhoods are. Just say you won’t go to US urban environments. We get it.

At the end of the day, in Chicago, the tragic gun violence problem is real. But counter-intuitively its not real for people that _visit_ neighborhoods. Its real for the young men that live there. And by invoking “no-go” rhetoric you hide the real problem. That years of public policy have made certain neighborhoods extremely dangerous for those that live there, but ironically, not for those that visit.

I think you’re confusing transitory inflation causes with entrenched inflation causes. I’m definitely not arguing that wages triggered our current bout of inflation. I’m arguing that wage increases are required to sustain and entrench inflation. If you have inflation continuing upwards without any wage reaction, eventually people can’t afford to consume, which curtails inflation (or you ruin your currency ala Turkey). The only way to sustain the rise long term is by increasing wages to match inflation expectations.

I’m the author. Thank you for saying it is an excellent read — that was no small amount of work.

You ask “Where is the productive output of all these arbitrage shell games?”, which is a very fair question. The purpose of financial markets, sometimes but not always wholly achieved, is to transfer risks to those best able to hold them. E.g., you are not the optimal person to hold the risk that, through no fault of your own, your house burns down. That risk exists, and you are not the optimal holder of it. Hence insurance. A Lincolnshire farmer — and yes, I like the non-abstract solidly of the example — is not the optimal holder of the ‘risk’ that the Australian and Kansas wheat harvests are super-bountiful. Markets allow that risk to be transferred to a non-farmer better able to hold the risk.

Of course, with markets come some ‘unproductive’ stuff. Likewise, democracy is good, but that is not necessarily praising the optimality of all parts of campaign finance legislation.

Let me also mention that I am the author of the definitive reference book on old Vintage Port: Port Vintages (and seemingly the board disallows a link).

Oh, yeah. Because we pursue truth for the sake of truth. Knowledge is what we are after.

In the real world though, this type of answer can increase the likelihood of war. Actual war. I for one am ok with letting this particular "truth" remain unstated.

And let's be honest, it's not like we will ever get the actual "truth". No matter what anyone says, there will always be evidence in support of the opposite view.
i wonder the effect of many subreddit conversations being about this rather than the actual topic of the particular subreddit.
Because, as a registrar, they are not allowed to just shut it down.

More seriously, Google's culture seems fundamentally incapable of longterm investment in anything that isn't directly related to their core advertising business, even if that thing is an onramp to their core offerings (as you pointed out). It's sad and frustrating to observe.
These threads are great resources. Thank you for your help. My apologies for the duplicate post.

Stupid question, but... can't you just feed the relevant bit of API docs to GPT-4 and kindly ask it to write you the user-side call dispatcher, complete with error handling? :).
In general/basics/origins, farmers only want to sell futures, because they actually have (intend to have) the commodity for physical delivery, and do want to physically deliver it.

So who is on the buy-side? Exclusively supermarkets/distributors, while exclusively farmers sell? I suppose that could work, but I assume it would quickly regress into tight relationships like we have (probably regionally variable) for smaller market's, like most vegetables (vs grain) where as I understand it it's largely a direct relationship with the buyer - you probably still sell a future contract, but it's not via a central market and it is 'farm x will deliver to buyer y', i.e. a pre-order if you will, not really a commodity.

And as others say, price discovery, liquidity. What harm does completely open (no obligation) do? And maybe you eat a lot of potatoes and want to lock in the price today. (Or more seriously maybe you're a big baker, but not big enough to be buying direct from farm, your miller is. So grain price affects you, but ypu can't directly control/choose when to take it. Secondary grain futures allow you to hedge risk of it moving against you. In turn this means lower prices or lower risk of shock price increase to your consumers.)
I'm a C# dev but I don't really have faith in Microsoft sticking with any UI library longer than 5 years. They even seem to have embraced React Native to make their own products. I'd go with Avalonia if I picked a C# UI, but I prefer Typescript and JSX over C# and XAML.
This is what I was driving at in my original comment - the intermediary steps are not of interest (from the POV of the hypothesis/overall experiment), so why mention them at all.
TEALS, a popular program in the US for building up CS programs in high school, offers several courses: a general introduction, a cybersecurity course, an AI course, and two courses targeting AP CS exams.

The general introduction teaches in Snap or Python. Python is plenty capable for the level this course us at. You're not going deep into algorithms or datastructures or performance.

> Now the “standard” for convincing stats includes controlling for road surfaces, weather patterns, and phase of the moon.

Much as you'd like to imply there is goalpost shifting, these are quite valid concerns, and not facetious.

Road surfaces: poor paint, marking, potholes, heavy use of crack filler - all things which will cause FSD to disengage as it can't determine where the road actually is.

Weather: FSD will disengage in sufficiently heavy rain/show/fog/hail. It will also be compromised by bright sunlight and road reflections hitting the "vision only" camera system.

> Now Tesla breaks out AutoPilot and FSD statistics and shows that FSD driving, noting that those miles are predominantly non-highway, still has 5x fewer crashes per million miles than average.

All of those factors above happen on all types of roads.

By absolutely no coincidence, many of these factors result in increased
collisions. FSD gets turned off in these conditions, so "conveniently" it doesn't suffer the collision adjustment as a result. Human drivers have no such ability, and nor do NHTSA statistics say "Well, these crashes happened but they weren't under optimal and level playing field conditions so, well, they don't count".

Rephrased: to be actually comparable and worthy of anything beyond Tesla "marketing", crash stats should be looking at "similar constraints" between FSD and humans, i.e. if FSD can't or won't engage on a given stretch of road, or in given weather conditions, then the human crashes that happened on that same stretch of road or weather conditions shouldn't count for comparison, because you have no way of saying whether FSD would have driven better, because _it wouldn't even engage_.

Breaking it down to "highway vs non-highway" is certainly _easier_ but reductive to the point of near-meaninglessness.
It seems that Reddit has stopped responding to data requests. If this is because their servers are overloaded, or if this is intentional, I'm not sure.

the article does a good job of explaining why something like the flake system was necessary, but man oh man does the particular thing we wound up with have issues.

you can smell from a mile away that they were engineered to solve widely-experienced problems... as experienced by a single company, with an existing, idiosyncratic set of methodologies. and they just happened to get the blessing because eelco was at that company. unlike nix proper, however, where eelco had the entire internet for feedback, the core design of flakes ossified before the world at large had reason to care about them.

it doesn't help that nix's command-line ux is currently super splintered as a result, and while that will be ironed out in the long run, the thing in the name of which those tools got splintered is rather insulting.
