I suppose you can go back to any of the previous points in your CV as a software professional in today’a day and age if you never burned any bridges. Especially so if you make it obvious in your current job that you’re only leaving because it’s time to try your own thing - if it doesn’t end up working, people are likely to be very understanding.

Threatening your unpaid volunteers who are responsible for keeping your site clear of the worst most vile freaks on the internet (something your site has repeatedly made international headlines for) is not long-term thinking.

The idea is loopy because the energy that reaches the earth from even a massive solar flare is orders of magnitude less than the energy released by a major earthquake, and that is orders of magnitudes less than the energies that drive the dynamo in the Earth's core.

It's possible for a falling leaf to hit a mountain in just such a way that it dislodges a boulder balanced on top, but you need to tell a pretty compelling story about why this sensitive arrangement came about. Similarly, you'd need to explain how gigatons of molten iron sloshing around deep underground might feel the kiss of the Sun in just such a way that it levels San Francisco (for example).
You have inspired me for today, I appreciate it.

A dinosaur documentary made with AI
We are getting closer and closer to films made with AI. This is an example of that. Of course, it's not perfect, but the trend is moving at a good pace. A dinosaur documentary made entirely with AI.
Physically plugging into a vehicle's CANBUS is not different from physically plugging into a computer's USB ports.

We accept that computer security has limits when the attacker has physical access to a machine. Why should this be different with a vehicle? In this example, attackers need to physically rip apart a vehicle to trigger a vulnerability.

It's not as though the headlight wiring harness is any more accessible than core components like the engine control unit.
In other news, the number of sociology graduates strongly correlates with the number of non-commercial space launches in a given year! https://www.tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations

In all seriousness though, it is pretty easy to find such correlations and I would take them with a huge grain of salt. For example there was a long-running theory that sunspots had a causal relationship to influenza epidemics, which turns out to be probably purely spurious: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28847318/

At least you're alive, I've watched family members of loved ones die. Vaccine -> Full Body Rash -> Organ Failure within 2 months of the booster.

All I'll say is I'm happy I never got it.
That's not exactly a list of people who are likely to do a good job.

I think that's part of Reddit's problem - They can replace the mods with random people if they want, but the likelihood that those people will put in the work and do a good job is not high.

Requiem for a bank loan
I know you think this is some hard dilemma that will force people to admit "yes of course I want them punished". But it really isn't. At the end of the day, putting the guy in jail without rehabilitation doesn't help me at all, except quench the thirst for revenge, which is always there of course, but I know giving in to it is like chasing a fix; it'll make me feel better in the short term and like a vindictive asshole in the long term.

What would make me feel better in the long term is knowing that at least something good came out of my losing all my money. In case B as opposed to nothing at all in case A.

I wonder how much of this success can be explained by survivorship bias? I am sure there are/were plenty of producers equally or more brilliant but who never got a chance, couldn't sign the Beastie Boys or Run-DMC, or worse timing. it is easier to be a legendary producer when you happen to get all the best most talented acts ,too. There were so many producers in the early 80s hip hop scene.
703 is probably the right path towards true gilless python, but to quote Greg Smith (gpshead) on the PR,

> We're not ready to simply pronounce on 703 as it has a HUGE blast radius.

703 isn't even out of draft PEP status. I think they need to come to consensus on 703, or modify it until it is acceptable, and then figure out how to merge the code and release it.

I don't know for sure, but it looks like even with the compile nogil flag off, there are enough low-level API changes that extensions would break. If they can do it without breaking extensions with the flag off, I can see this happening over the next few years. But it's no small feat.
100% agree with this.

There's so much more to teaching than the actual teaching part. Interacting with kids, controlling a classroom, etc. Those are things you start to pick up as a student teacher, but you really nail it several years in.

I feel like many base their opinions on teaching through their experience as a student or through what they hear from others.

It also highly depends on the school, students, and what type of teaching you are doing (specialist, classroom, support, etc).

A classroom teacher who has well behaved students for two years will have different opinions about teaching than a classroom teacher who has rough classes for two years. Admins do their best to spread kids out, separate kids that cause trouble together or fight, etc.

Sometimes though it's just down to the luck of the draw - you enter your third year and by the end of the day you are crying on the car ride home.
What a dumb conspiracy theory.
the problem is probably that you're not using old.reddit.com. reddit is unusable in its redesign form

i am anti the current chicago status quo and agree the policies are dumb. but all this does is prohibit surveillance and weapons via drone. which i both support.

the answer is some amount of improved traditional policing (necessary evil) and arming all the non-gang people to the teeth bc the gang ones are already armed

I'm similar; I found a way to "compartmentalize" - I don't concern myself with what's in my wife's closet or in her boxes. I also have some spaces that are purely mine - so I can have the flavor of minimalism that brings me joy.
I don't see a way that Huffman can follow through on his threat. According to Reddark [1] at the time of this writing there are still 4752 subs that are dark. I understand that powermods exist, but were Huffman to follow through on his threat he would have to come up with many hundreds of willing moderators, on a rather short timeframe.

Frankly, I don't see this happening, at least not without significant pain. Not to mention the ill will that is continuing to build, which will only compound the difficulty of getting new volunteers on board.

The police can still carry guns. Their drones cannot.
I notice you don't mention evidence, how come?
reddit moderators have an unbelievably inflated sense of their worth, which is why they thought this blackout was going to accomplish anything in the first place.

I assure you, there is a line around the block of people clamoring to become mods. There's a reason its nigh impossible to become a mod of a big sub, the people that are doing it really like doing it and dont want more people joining to dilute their share of the power.
Yea this is a surefire way to end up with greedy, power-hungry moderators that have no interest in making the community better.

I knew it was an issue when a rural town of at best 2000 people adjacent to where my wife grew up successfully purchased multiple Humvees for "riot control" through 1033 (a program instituted by a president from the equivalent of a blairite-ish labour party in our country, no less).

To be fair and a counterpoint to that, there was a recent paper that was posted here about training AI using dataset that included generated data from AI. They simulated what would happen and found that, the outliers became smaller and the responses to prompts became closer together.

So instead of a psychotic break, that sounds more like we'd accelerate groupthink instead.

No, as long as federal law (including valid regulations ubder federal law) says no, they would be prohibited from complying and Massachusetts would have effectively banned cars from being registered.
"Blocking" == "can be completed immediately" in this context, ie whether the equivalent syscall would complete immediately or if it would return EAGAIN. So if the operation can be completed immediately, it will be completed in the context of the calling thread without involving the kernel work queue. Otherwise it cannot be completed immediately, so the kernel work queue will take it and start working on it.

I've always taken it at face value "this is mid, and therefore beneath me".

For certain cases this might not be a particularly arrogant position. For example - it might be reasonable to decide you only have time to watch exceptionally good films.

Ask HN: How can an avg enterprise make use of LLMs without IP issues?
Many enterprises are worried that if they use pre-trained models to improve their organization's productivity, the training data used may be copyrighted.

Is there any better solution?

This is normal title style for a news headline and has been for a very long time; the comma here is short for "and".

Is this accurate? I haven’t read the full text of the law but I thought it meant no weaponized drones.

People can easily find tools for bulk editing/deleting Reddit comments. They can't easily use them.

Power Delete Suite is a bookmarklet. It's installed by clicking the link in the Github readme, going off to a CodePen, and clicking and dragging the resulting red button to the Favorites Tab.

Probably greater than 90% of Redditors who are interested in using it wouldn't know how and would give up. I'm guessing the number is actually closer to 100% than it is to 90%.

They don't have a mental model of what a bookmarklet is. They don't even have a mental model of what a URL or browser address bar is, much less dragging something to their favorites bar and going through two levels of redirects ("you got the latest version!"... "you need to be on your reddit profile page!") before they hit a page that lets them bulk delete comments.
I enjoy your takes on AI/ML but as someone who lives in Iran if not for crypto i'd be homeless.
You could also do it by arranging for Earth to collide with other bodies whose angular momentum vector points opposite Earth's.

If would take a lot of time but this could actually be done without requiring a huge amount of energy. Find bodies in elongated orbits that bring them from the outer solar system to near Earth's orbit. Send something out to them when they are still far enough away that it only takes a nudge to alter their orbit into one that will hit Earth and give them an appropriate nudge.

To get to the targets without having to use a lot of energy use unstable orbits around Lagrange points [1].

I think you're right! I wish our society did recycling better. In Japan, to get rid of a computer (for example), you don't throw it in trash - you must pay a recycler to handle it correctly.

>The power-tripping is payment in itself for those types.

As if the current mods are any different?

Honestly I don't mind this at all. The big subreddits have become so ossified in their power structures, that each community is its' own little fiefdom now. There is massive friction to being able to post anywhere. Reddit would be objectively better with a less heavy handed approach to moderation, and some kind of site-wide formal appeals process that neuters the ability of any individual mod from going on a power trip.
The way reddit's threads work with nested replies is also a vastly superior UX over the linear firehose approach of a conventional forum. So much so that pretty much everyone has resorted to copying it over the last 15 years.

There's a reason phpbb went the way of the dinosaur and won't be making a comeback. The future is going to be something that learns from Reddit's mistakes without regressing to 2001 usability.
> If it is true that management at Reddit is undeleting deleted users and accounts, they may be creating a situation where they claim they have more users than they do. Because this is the result of management's actions, it could be viewed negatively by regulators and law enforcement.

Woah. Ianal but that sounds like a gdpr nightmere. Are they doing it to european accounts too?
Will Google look into this? Probably not.
I use the reddit app very occasionally. Mostly when I'm away from my laptop and someone DMs or replies to me. For actually USING reddit, browsing threads etc it is woefully shitty experience.
when people say "orders of magnitude" do they always mean base 10?

(i'm thinking of how decibels are a log scale sort of thing wrt power, where "orders of magnitude" used as a cliche probably does not mean what it would be read as.)
I find these political theory arguments odd. Reddit is a corporation owned by a few wealthy VCs. There is nothing democratic or communistic or totalitarian about it
This should bring federated AI models, those model which can solve one problem exceptionally well. E.g. identifying dogs or cats. Then each task will be split into small chunks
Storage costs can also be significant. I have a friend who pays $200/month for his storage unit to keep all of the extra seasonal junk and decorations, and then must swap it out twice per year. Many people pay a less transparent version of the same fee by getting a larger house or apartment for the same reason.
This guy sucks, he loves to get involved in controversial topics for attention
For anything handling user input I'd be concerned about maintenance status for fixes. Even beyond the codebase itself, even just maintaining an up to date pom.xml can be important - seems theirs was last updated in July of last year. Very brief manual browse of it shows potential exposure to things like https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-25647 - not sure if that's reachable in the codebase but there could be others.
Using MusicGen/audiocraft?
This is false. Feel free to link to your source which will inevitably turn out to be someone who doesn't understand that the problem was actually in their deletion script or their understanding of it.
You should go look at the ratio between administrative costs and actual beat cop salaries. The rising cost of college and the rising cost of law enforcement/defense suffers from a similar decay of middle men leaches just creating fees.

Also as a note, theres not a lot of correlation between an increase and violence and reduced weapons policy, its almost driven by some secondary macro trend.
some of the sub-level censorship on reddit has gotten so bad in recent years, I see this as possibly a welcome change
How to evaluate Speech Recognition AI models
>> You can't deny there is progress.

Yes, you can. Because there are no objective measures of that "progress" since there are no good metrics for language generation. It's just people going ooh and aaah and saying "look how good it is!", or just "look how big it is!".
Elderberry would be my choice - it has medicinal properties as well as being an enjoyable flavour, it's essentially unchanged in the history that we've known of it (5000 years), so wine production techniques won't have to change much, and it's a fairly fast growing tree/shrub so building up a large orchard won't be a big deal.
Vision Pro headset is a hobby. Why won’t Tim Cook say that?
It would, but spez doesn't have OPEX for the GPU hours it'd require. Both for fine-tuning for per-subreddit rules, and running the model itself.

HN isn’t Reddit. I like HN moderation. I come here for the more niche HN discussions. Reddit is much larger than HN and attracts people from a very wide spectrum. A handful of moderators don’t always do the best job at that scale. Especially for larger subreddits.
Great example of the technicians and the artists dismissing the business development guy understanding users.

> I thought it meant no weaponized drones.

That is correct. It says this:

" Sec. 18. Use of weapons. A law enforcement agency operating a drone under this Act is prohibited from equipping or using on a drone any firearm, weaponized laser, kinetic impact projectile, chemical agent or irritant, or any other lethal or non-lethal weapon."

Relatedly, I feel like "Soylent Green", "Logan's Run", and more in the 1970s all had climate change related concerns/worries and/or messages. A lot of it got lost in the action/thriller genres, especially in the film adaptations, and a lot of it still inherited mistakes and traps from the Malthusians of previous sci-fi generations (50s/60s sci-fi especially was prone to believing in the since-disproven Malthusian trap), but even in the 1970s you can read a lot of early climate change anxiety from the more intended-to-be empathetic parts of pop culture. (The 70s is where I generally draw the boundary line in sci-fi between Malthusianism and Climate Change concerns.)

Climate change fears have been in the pop culture air for longer than a lot of people realize.
I remember an interview where people that worked with him (I think Jay-Z?) described him as a "reducer" more than a "producer" which makes sense to me.

I've heard stories of artists with projects deep into scope creep calling Rick Rubin in to help cut through all the chaff.

It would make sense that he doesn't have a particular sound if his goal is to help the artist make the best possible art they can.
No, I have never been banned from any subreddit in my account's nearly 15 year history. Likewise I can't remember any comment or posts being removed, except for automoderated reasons (like a sub that auto-mods profanity, mentions of piracy, or has picky post format requirements).

A lot of these examples are suspiciously lacking in precision. Exactly what kinds of things are you disagreeing with mods about that got you in trouble? Posting in exactly which subreddits got you banned from others?
It's relevant to the point that that post was replying to. "I couldnt find a better way to do it and neither will the average reddit user who has 1000s of comments."

The level of understanding (or level of willingness to figure out a more optimal way or even conceive that a more optimal way is available) of the typical computer user (which is probably not that far from the typical reddit user, because reddit is a mass-appeal site) is shockingly low. I've seen people with science PhDs open their browser to their default search engine page [Bing], type in Google, search for it, click on the resulting link, and then type their search query. Those people are not going to be finding the "easy delete script".
Poor miserable spez taking in multiple millions every year in salary. He'll die without that income! Such a terrible situation to be, to simply be a millionaire.
