I'm not saying you are wrong. But the point you are missing, in my opinion, is that the people using the API and third party apps are the power users. It's simple, you start using a site/tool/game so much, you learn the addon/plugins/whatever for it and start using it, tale as old as computing.

Doesn't matter if they're the super active users / contributors / moderators / nft or awards whale / ... They're all power users, the very few % that generate the value, either directly by paying or indirectly by making other users stay and come back.

But in three decades of the web (roughly), I don't know of any web platform that started a fight against its power users and ended up in a better position as a company afterward. Winning the battle ? Sure. But a better position ? Nope. Do you have a counter exemple ?

It feels like either reddit is massively screwing up, or they don't care as long as they can fake it until the IPO.

The only question right now, is simply how many % of their power users are caught in that fight and they risk losing. Everything else is just a side show.

PS: the craziest part being that the whole thing is so not necessary. If they had come up straight up "we need to end that", or "they need to give us X% of revenue" or whatever, and stop at that, it would have worked. The terrible communication, and pretending to want to find a deal while clearly not, and the CEO refusing to stop lying, is what caused the current situation.

Either spez is used as a tool to reach the IPO they dream of and they're all aware of it, or I have no idea why he is still at this place.

If all they can find is confident-sounding crap, how good is their judgment going to be?

We’ve come along way from running our own web rings and PHPBBs. The internet was our audience but then we put it in the hands of companies looking to profit off our niche communities and now we’re having a leopards ate our face moment.

My unpopular opinion is Reddit is making the right move and likely their only move. Moderators got what they signed up for and once a community was created and they owed it to their communities to hand over the keys when they ‘quit’ in protest. In the end, anyone unhappy with how Reddit handled the API situation should have walked instead of sticking around to watch Rome burn.
> this is a problem.

How so? Reddit pays for the infrastructure and software, why would anyone expect they own their own subreddit? Are people really expecting Reddit to operate at a loss? If you want to own it, pay for it.
The choice they have is in whether they're around at all to be rolled.

From a technical standpoint: Archive.org is archiving Reddit data. So someone just needs to write an importer for that data. I would have suggested reading from Reddit's APIs directly but they are shutting those down.

>The health of these communities is at serious risk when you force them in to using unregulated black market narcotics and cleaning products to get high.

In which case, all "drugs" should be legal, with safety/dosing standards and regulation.

That removes the violence inherent in a black market and reduces negative health outcomes (overdoses, etc.).

There are many other reasons (both economic and societal) for full legalization of all "drugs" as well.
> Will EdgeDB Cloud be fully replicated similar to https://neon.tech?

Eventually yes. Our client libraries APIs are designed in such a way that it's easy for us to automatically route read queries to the nearest replicas and do other magic.

> I want to use EdgeDB Cloud but I want the latency to be that of Grafbase for example.

We'll be working on lowering the latency as much as we can. But you also have to keep in mind another aspect - which is the composability of EdgeQL, which allows you to pipeline multiple operations in one query. That query will get you all of your data in one round trip, something that doesn't typically happen with ORM libraries and SQL in general.

I'm in US. Remote is considered a part of the package for me.

Why should I care a factory worker or manager needs to be there? I did variety of jobs that required me to be onsite all the time, hence why I switched to computers/programming.

I might be switching to a hybrid model, where I go in for meetings as I will be taking a more of a leadership role. However, if I'm programming office is just not a good place to be, as it is harder for me to focus.
So... why have the feature of "Public, Restricted, Private" if you punish people for using a feature you all put in place? If they don't want private subs, then convert them to public and turn that feature off.

What all this seems like is a bad psy-op campaign to force people to do the settings the admins want, and make it "feel" its the moderators doing it. Similar how Twitter forces you to remove bad content rather than just auto-do it
How is Reddit abusing them? By charging $0.24 for 1000 API requests? By enforcing year old rules they created because mods power tripped and users complained?

They have the choice to not be users anymore.

Which seems like a bad option for Reddit, given that their only value proposition is that they have a lot of users.
I look at the subscribed communities I am part of. I find that just looking at all communities a little overwhelming.
Yup.

I also wonder if they could see another part of the brain to see if intelligent people are more concerned of judgement from other intelligent people, or perhaps even from everyone in general for some intelligent people that intelligence is their identity.
There's other opinions out there, that discuss the direction taken by Go on error handling, for example this Vlang related article[1] that touched on it (from someone who appears to be a gopher).

However, part of the issue is the tolerance or maturity necessary for being able to handle a different opinion. That someone gives a different preference, for instance Vlang or Odin (that has its own views), can make evangelists or "corporate machinery" upset. Then we can witness mob or anger downvoting. This then limits the debate or creates more of a barrier for different opinions to want to contribute or ever be seen.

I saw an article about this last week. It identified the cause as a new rule last year switching the fuel for cargo ships and tankers that reduced the allowed sulfur content by about 80%.

> That said, perhaps moderators and users should be willing to admit that Reddit produces some of the value here.

Very little, and almost none from a technical POV. What value Reddit does provide is a side effect of 17 years of investments by users, their communities, and those communities' unpaid moderators.

Yes, Reddit is free to attack the foundation of their value for short-term gain. However, the reality is that Reddit has never been easier to replace than it is right now. If even a relatively small percentage of users/communities/moderators take their toys and go elsewhere, it could trigger an irreversible decline.

I left the question a bit open ended to see the diversity of the field and to hopefully gather advice that could benefit others as well.

That said, primarily _for me_ it's more defined in what it doesn't mean - Which is software engineering _using_ AI (eg - LLMs) and prompt engineering. I'm already a self-taught web/mobile developer with 10+ years experience, and have built some toy projects using LLMs and image diffusion models. Where I believe I have more interest is in the research scientist route. I have prior education in biology/ecology/behavior, and would love to combine the fields.

Sure, but the cost of pre-planning for an event like what Reddit is attempting is high - not just in terms of money, but in terms of how large you grow your community, since (for example) getting someone to join your subreddit is infinitely easier than asking them to sign up for your forum.

Reddit lasted what, over 10 years? And Discord started in 2015 but still seems to know not to destroy communities by e.g. making third-party moderation bots pay to use the service.

It makes a lot more sense as a community to coast on whatever the current most popular free platform(s) are, since it means there's no financial overhead to running the community and the centralized nature means the barrier to entry for prospective communities members is near-zero. Once federation can achieve these things, we'll see communities at least fracture with an arm on the federated site, ready to jump ship once Discord or the next platform starts to sink.

You can almost always opt for artificial PKs that are more performant.

But sometimes you have to make these keys public, e.g. as user or other resource IDs. You want to make them UUIDs so they won't be predictable. Not having to join everywhere with the UUID-to-artificial-PK table may be a bigger performance win than the losses from larger size of UUIDs.

Sometimes you have a distributed / sharded system, and don't want the keys to clash, and also avoid assigning ranges. Sometimes you have to accept someone else's ID, not originating in your system. In cases like that, large random numbers, e.g. UUID v4, work reasonably well.

Of course when you just have one DB, and a relative slow stream of new rows, it's easy to fully control PK creation. And this covers the majority of practical cases.

I'm guessing this is an automated message that was sent to all the subs that went from public to private in recent days. And there's no easy way for it to tell whether a given subreddit is "personal".
I used to primarily browse /r/all because I like to see when niche communities produce things exceptional enough to hit it (and I'd just filter subreddits I didn't want)

unless you have good reason to believe that they will not improve in quality

I do.

These LLMs can't tell facts from BS now. With LLMs starting to generate ever more BS, going forward it will only become harder to tell the difference --- for both them and us.

What do you think will happen when LLMs start sucking in each others BS from the internet?

I don't think it's possible for this sort of global BS feedback loop to produce an improvement in quality.
Although your response is a bit clever, I think you capture the actual dynamic, which the paper (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-38626-y) tries to obscure by avoiding the comparisons (time taken for each correctly answered question vs incorrect) needed to make it obvious.
You are right, It looks like they changed it in April. I was wrong, it wasn't 5mb it was 8mb.

This is leftpad all over again: the intersection of publicly accessible namespaces, control over those namespaces, and what people in charge of the namespace are allowed to do by the platform when their protest actions are seen as harmful by the platform.

There's a 3-way social contract between the platform (Reddit/npm), the nominal person in charge (mods/module authors) and the users. If the person in charge does something that is sufficiently disruptive to users', or platforms interests, the platform will step in. We can argue about where the line is, but beyond that point, platform intervention is inevitable.

Edit: Thought experiment: would it have been acceptable had the author of leftpad put up a poll for downloaders to vote before taking the module down in protest?
Aeon has the advantage of including a friendly deep learning framework, all of the models discussed on the 'Deep Learning for Time Series Classification: a review" are included in aeon with the variety of choices on how to change the parameters of the architecture.

Is anyone surprised at this point?

Look. This is always going to happen with user-generated content ("UGC") sites where the users who create the content don't own the platform. The owners will always reach a point of trying to extract as much value as possible from those users. Personal subreddits? Well they don't provide value (to the owners). We're long past the point of subsidizing users to grow Reddit. Now it's just value extraction.

And it happens to every UGC site and people are still somehow surprised. It's the most Lucy and the football thing I've ever seen.

This is why Wikipedia being owned by a foundation rather than a private venture-backed company is so important. Same for ICANN not being a for-profit company (remember how private equity tried to steal the .org registry [1]?).

This is a bit confusing, as it mixes two things - BRIN index and index on a timestamp.

The main source of write amplification comes from updating random pages of the btree index. Imagine inserting 10 random UUID values into a large index - it's pretty likely those will go into 10 different leaf pages. And every first update of a page after a checkpoint (which typically happens every 30 minutes or so), we have to write a FPI (i.e. the whole 8kB page) to WAL. So because btrees are based on ordering, random values end up on random leaf pages, causing write amplification.

If you have BRIN index on UUID column, this does not happen, because the index is not based on ordering but location in the table. If the 10 rows get appended to the same table page, that'll be just 1 write, with one FPI.

This is why BRIN does not have the write amplification issue. But it's also a bit pointless, because BRIN on random data is pretty useless for querying (Well, at least the minmax indexes, are. Let's ignore BRIN bloom indexes here.)

If you create BRIN on timestamp, that's not going to have write amplification problem, and it'll be good for querying. The thing is - BTREE would not have write amplification problem either, because the timestamps are going to be sequential (hence no updates to random leaf pages).
