> If the world were zero sum, that means no new value has been created for humanity, ever.

This statement is straight up false. Obviously you gain and lose value, and are interested in whether it's a net gain or loss. It's worth noting that a gain or a loss here is only anecdotal to our own human experience so far and without accounting for potential debts (externalities) still owed... like global warming, monoculture, antibiotic resistance, nukes, etc. You're attempting to make a rule in an extremely non-scientific manner, and making a ton of assumptions to boot.

> Nobody cares about your stupid degrowth ideology that advocates for death and people to be poorer. Just state what you actually are, which is anti-human.

I've never even heard of this Degrowth ideology... My ideology, if you can call it that, is simply taking responsibility for our actions instead of making up a bunch of buzzword horseshit. I'm not advocating for anything but the basic admission that it stinks when we fart. This "not zero sum" statement is as much a fantasy as religion is. I'm not asking you to stop farting or to save a whale. Just stop polluting our eyes and ears with corporate doublespeak.
Reddit has never made a lot of money. AI companies scrapped all their data for free which wasn't fair. So they start charging to support the site. I don't see how reddit owners are in the wrong here. But mods are behaving as expected, like petulant children.
They were also quite good at processing Titanium, for example the monument to Yuri Gagarin in Moscow is made out of a Titanium alloy (the monument looks like superman, if you ask me).

They had to melt and cast titanium ingots in a vacuum oven, then assemble the components into the statue. This technique wasn't repeated very often, as far as i know.

Dating, housing, and job markets. All have become a vicious maze. Arrange your life without these three, especially if you're in the position of an applicant. Let the curators and gatekeepers eat their own excrement. Major problem arises though. A partner, roof over one's head, and salary are three pillars of an adult responsible life, and no adult responsible humans will come out of this.

>Makes sense. Reddit moderators are even more deluded about where the site's value is than they portray its owners to be. It is certainly not in the moderation work, which many do to satisfy their need for power over others

Context for others: There are powermods who "moderate" hundreds of subreddits. This is not an exaggeration. Hundreds. At least one has/had thousands.

When questioned, they invariably say that they "just watch the incoming queue" or something, and the other mods "do all the work". While likely true in the literal sense (again, hundreds), such answers of course completely evade the question.

Remember, "Most of What You Read on the Internet is Written by Insane People" <https://np.reddit.com/r/slatestarcodex/comments/9rvroo/most_...>. This also applies to powermods, assuming they're not being paid on the side to push some ideology.

Basically, losers who crave ruling a petty fiefdom because it's the only thing they can exercise agency over in their lives. And/or are mentally ill.

>and for each moderator there are 100 sycophants and narcissists lined up to take their place

Correct.

Most mods know this, which is why so many surrendered and reopened their subreddits the moment admins told them that otherwise they would be replaced. /r/formula1's mods forthrightly said as much; those of /r/nba claimed that negotiations had progressed far enough to justify reopening, which the thousands of replies show that the userbase 100% disbelieves.

>Closing subs to protest takes that choice out of the hands of the user. Make organic posts to the site to raise awareness of any particular issue or cause you like, and let those get viewed and voted as they will.

Even worse, a) /r/nba's top mod made more than 150 comments to six other NBA teams' subreddits during the blackout. b) /r/nba mods posted secret threads—including the Game 5 discussion that they denied from their own users—and made comments during the blackout. When users discovered the threads the mods of course scrubbed the comments, but there is no way for mods to actually delete (as opposed to hiding) posts, so evidence of their hypocritical behavior will live on forever.

>I wouldn't be too upset to see a few get their comeuppance for it.

We may yet see more than a few indeed get what they deserve, given the number of still-closed subreddits. I hope that when it happens it will be a ban on both accounts and IPs, so that as mods desperately log into alts each one get flagged and banned too.

Bonus: Speaking of getting what they deserve, the classic post in which a mod thinks what he does is worth $175K a year <https://np.reddit.com/r/35orquit/comments/qw1v3e/what_do_peo...>. Be sure to read to the end, where he explains how he "saves lives".
They started deploying increasing number of attack helicopters as a substitute for artillery that has been decimated in bigger numbers than usual in the recent battles. So they are either running low on it, or at least can't restore it fast enough that they risk expensive helicopters that they now also started constantly losing.

The trend is very bad for them either way.

I feel things with C++ are not as bad as with Python, but I would really like a "core language freeze" for 10 years now or something. I don't want to keep up with all these changes. To many enthusiasts on the committee.
It hasn’t been like this for centuries, that’s the entire point. This migration pattern from Cuba to Miami is a relatively recent change (which happened for, you know, “political reasons”) and this is an effect of that change.

All of this is fascinating and it’s intertwined with race. I don’t understand why we should be prohibited fromfrom talking about it.
While old OpenVPN configurations still work, NordVPN stopped providing username and password for OpenVPN configs in the account dashboard.
The most bizarre thing is how any mods could ever have thought that an indefinite blackout would possibly result in a win for them. Reddit, the company, had and has 100% of the power. At least workers on strike can march with signs around the factory and try to block replacements from entering. Mods have zero, zilch, zip power to prevent Reddit from doing whatever it wants with subreddits and mods' accounts.

Is it bloated egos from having had "infinite" authority (as long as they obeyed Redditwide rules) over hundreds of thousands or millions of other people during their visits to the mods' fiefdom of a subreddit? Or mental illness? My answer: `whynotboth.gif`
I wrote that interpreter roughly a year ago — my computer is definitely not the most up-to-date (the CPU is an intel i5-4690), but I would be surprised if the difference would have disappeared.

Also, I don’t think that it could even in principle be efficiently branch predicted — you are basically doing a memory read, jump conditionally based on that, jump back, do another memory read vs memory read, jump there, memory read, jump there. There is one less jump involved here, so any form of improved branch prediction would also enhance this second form as well.

So you consider it from the start when building/renting a (new) office.

I believe this is a very old problem, which resurfaces in different forms depending on the individual and the context in which they function. I'm weakly certain that CS Lewis even devoted one of his screwtape letters to exactly this problem, but couched in the context of taking action versus writing about taking action.

But since I can't find the money quote right now, and I'm not entirely sure that it was in the screwtape letters rather than some other Lewis book, here's one that addresses an oblique facet of the same paradox:

"the more often he feels without acting, the less he will be able ever to act, and, in the long run, the less he will be able to feel"
Dude the top AI company, "Open"AI, founded by Sam Altman is a board member of reddit, I'm all for conspiracy but at least get the basics right.
I myself have a conspiracy theory that he is pressuring Reddit to build a moat.
Also disallowing API access does shit, to stop API companies from scraping anyway, because they can still scrape off the site like how search engines do it, so even my conspiracy may only be true to certain extent.
Also mods are volunteers, they keep the community conformant to the sub rules, mods who don't watch their content will lead to comments like "Why is this on this sub", "sub has gone to shit", there are people who genuinely take care of their subreddit. They're kind of unpaid janitors.
Managers are responsible for project failures, that is true.

And they have a mechanism of achieving it: hiring and firing.

The author is right, managers are not responsible for individual’s success, their ability to persevere, time manage and so on. We work with adults, they have their parts to do.
> I think Free Software suffers from the misaligned incentives.

It's really hard to tell what the motivation of any given free software author is. That makes it really hard to even know what incentives matter to any give author, team or community. It's just really diverse.

> That's true! But there is almost no incentive to have users; you pay a cost, but they pay nothing in return.

It's fascinating to see free software with huge user bases getting on with a tiny number of contributors. It seems like good code + near zero support cost + near zero support expectation seems to work.
The final product comes from volunteers.

I don't agree with many points from that blog post, but I agree with your comment about phone numbers.

xx Messenger doesn't require user's phone number (it's optional, if the user wants to make it easier to be found by phone number).

Messaging clients on some other networks also don't require phone numbers, but that makes it harder to find people.
xx Messenger allows the creation and use of network nicknames that can be ported to other apps.

Source code:

https://github.com/xxfoundation/elixxir-xx-Messenger-Android

https://github.com/xxfoundation/elixxir-xx-messenger-iOS

(Mobile app hasn't been updated for a while; the reason is development of a unified Web-based desktop and mobile client is going on here - https://github.com/xxfoundation/elixxir-speakeasy-web/tree/d... - and it may eventually replace xx Messenger).

xx Network allows 3rd party clients. There's an SDK - https://xx.network/developers-mixnet/ - to make that easier.

Disclosure: I own xx coins.
i have this thing. after suffering long nights of "endless thinking", i decided one day to "this is enough" so i literally decided to "shut off" everything.

If any of that was true I wouldn't be able to easily purchase MDMA, LSD or dozens of other synthesized drugs.

The reality is that the user base shifted to MDMA based products and other options such as valium or xanax. Quaaludes aren't as enjoyable because they can easily knock you out before you have any real fun..
I am saying this attack works only because a client is installed on the device, and that client is malicious. If there was a standard client such as openvpn client (open source) then this attack will not be possible. That is becasue, the vpn provider will not have any means of using the user's device to send arbitrary network packets to any server to launch a ddos.
I think the point here that is getting lost here (not on you necessarily) is that if you write your service clean/SOLID, it really doesn’t matter if/when/how you make that decision to cleave it off into its own service. Monoliths are only a problem with scale, but there is absolutely no guarantee that your engineering team will scale at the same rate as your userbase. You know the story: tech product strikes gold, gets mentioned in NYT and becomes a new hot thing and doesn’t even have time to react before they hit scaling problems. It’s not great to prematurely optimize, but if you’re not preparing for eventual success (which requires scaling) is another term for shooting yourself in the foot. Unfortunately, even if you are “scaled up” in terms of workers, monoliths can be really nasty/resistant to many hands making the work lighter because they of how tightly coupled things end up being.

Why not monolith it? Maybe one part of the app evolves to really need a time series database or it really does some crazy stuff with image editing or it has new special dependencies that take an eternity to build, and you don’t want to add 20m of build time every time you mess with the rest of the codebase, none of which needs/expects the time-series/image-editor/complicated build thing to be there deployed alongside it. That’s like OG logic of why you want microservices, and it still makes a lot of sense, just people get carried away with cargo-culting on their thousand-microservice hellscapes where each API has four routes and 4000 lines of deploy config, boilerplate, copypasta.
Tildes is a replacement I have chosen, it is a million times better.
When I was an undergrad, I ran a small TeX conference. I forget how the finances worked out, but I used the college facilities (I may or may not have asked permission for this) to host this. There were some workshops which were an added fee and the workshop presenters got that money. No food or swag, publicity was all done via the late 80s internet venues (so comp.text.tex and TeXhax if I remember correctly). I think I may have run into an issue depositing checks at my bank account since they were made out to “Cal TeX” or something like that and I didn’t have a DBA on file with the bank (or that might have happened later with another project). But I do remember that the amount of work and the low payoff were enough that I never tried to do a second conference.

Wow, thanks for this. This nails a nagging problem I was having at my last job. I’d intuitively figured out what was wrong and what a solution might look like, but the way you’ve articulated it here helped crystallize that understanding much better.

It’s weird. It isn’t a complex problem or solution, but almost every team I’ve worked on hasn’t done this. You get to this point where you’ve seen so much context-stuffing that you half expect to see tools to help you do it in the standard library. You almost wonder if your aversion to it is because you’re the crazy one, haha.
Already, this has rebuttals: https://twitter.com/lacalaca85/status/1666501987435700225 (link to a thread by author) and the paper itself: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2515-5172/acdb7a.
(Note: RNAAS is not peer-reviewed, but there is a strict editorial standard; the arXiv thing is because of some long standing drama between arXiv and RNAAS).

The objections are primarily that the original paper assumes that a 2000 day period is the fundamental period of Betelguese's pulsation modes, which gives a radius that is much larger than what is observed in multiple wavelength bands.

It's unfortunate that Dr. Becky did not mention this in her video (perhaps it was published after she finished the script; even though it was out a while before the video was). I feel like this is not the first time that reputable science youtubers have jumped the gun on discussing research (Anton Petrov did something similar recently)

> doesn't have anything to do with the abnormal dimming in ~~2020~~ 2019
The Great Dimming is explained by this paper as being constructive interference of the pulsation modes (you can see this in their Figure 4. I don't know why Dr. Becky said this, but it doesn't seem to be correct.

I may just be confused, but couldn't you pass a pipe into the whole (server) process, instead of having it open its own sockets? (In https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/blob/48b2afb192ec18eca4..., I gather?)

I haven't followed cosmopolitan / Linux pledge() too closely; but I notice your SERVER_PLEDGE and CLIENT_PLEDGE include stdio, so I expect you have write(2) (and could thus handle a pipe, and maybe even a passed-in AF_UNIX socket?)

Or is making the challenge more interesting - by actually including some networking - part of the fun?
Thanks for agreeing with me?

The issue is city populations are the minority here. The laws they passed only apply to their cities.

Their right to self govern is being overridden by the majority state legislature.

You are literally arguing my point but you don't seem to understand whose protections are being trampled on by whom.
> I believe that everyone has a right to food, but laws banning people from storing or consuming too much food are not an important part of the anti-hunger movement.

If the supply of food drops too low, eg. during the world wars, you do get rationing which does exactly that.
I really like this quantification of crash rate and being so up front about it and what’s acceptable. Spending such a long part of my career being in the critical software space it’s kind of refreshing to imagine a more lax world out there.

There is a mention of WebSockets to each user — could someone verify whether that is true or not? As that would be an absolute overkill, hell I see no reason to use Websockets besides online games, and collab tools where short latency is a requirement. A reddit clone is none of those.
> What he said that "its hard to prove if we are still peasants" is wrong.

I think this depends on how you classify peasant. If we can agree that it's about income inequality, and not quality of life, then there was a study done comparing income inequality in the late eighteenth century to current day, which concluded that "Incomes were much more equally distributed in
colonial America than in America today, or in other countries in the late eighteenth century". https://www.nber.org/papers/w18396

Ultimately it depends on the specifics and the dates we are comparing. I don't think people fully realize how significant income inequality really is today.

That's a bizarre take. Mental illness has gatekeepers, by definition. There is a diagnostic manual. Only licensed and approved professionals are qualified to make diagnoses. I guarantee you that the insurance company will not pay your mom to do CBT with you.

There's a huge amount of gatekeeping, and for good reason. We've seen teenagers and young adult go on TikTok and receive a "diagnosis" for themselves, of anything from bipolar, to OCD, or autism. They get lured into these circles and communities of people who may or may not have a formal diagnosis, and they're all encouraged to diagnose themselves and share their symptoms and, basically, spill their guts, not to a licensed counselor or therapist, but they spill their guts to the community.

There are forums and online communities which condone and encourage eating disorders, genital self-mutilation, self-harm, and even suicide. Nobody running these communities has a license, a certification, or any kind of responsibility for the well-being of the members. Children, teenagers, and young adults simply select a "diagnosis" from a smorgasbord menu and then wear it as a badge of courage.

Of course we need gatekeeping for this. I may disagree on the nature and profession of those keeping the gates, but I completely support the need for such a thing in the first place.
