> You can want to help someone without being good at it.

Some kind of help is the kind of help we all can do without. I wouldn't encourage a well-meaning student to do my surgery if a gruff-looking surgeon who has taken their Hippo is around. Same goes with getting my car repaired, or discussing touchy topics like depression. It's fine if you want to help, but I'd rather you didn't if you have no idea what you're doing.

Another brief anecdote: my high school growing up had been hit by a wave of bullying that left the staff extremely insecure about the way they handle mental health. So one year I showed up to school and they had a photo of every student in the halls on the wall, with enormous posters declaring "You are Loved" and other pithy quotes. Needless to say, 4 weeks later those same halls were utterly vandalized, with the posters tattered, threats scrawled under people's faces in Sharpie and some taken down entirely (often by bullying victims themselves). The administration didn't look before they leaped, and ended up using their authority to shoot themselves in the foot.
That instance was from one of the mods, they posted about it here on HN a couple days ago too. They got roasted hard on r/3dprinting, but it's "official" as it can be. Personally moving to an instance that doesn't involve the mods (of any subreddit) is a benefit.

The 3dprinting communities on other Lemmy instances are plenty active though.
Yes, Another way of looking at it.

I always felt hungry all the time, it wasn't till i started taking Semaglutide that hunger totally go away. When that did the thing I found was an understanding of people who don't have as much hunger as I used to, all saying things like "just eat less".

For those people who say Just eat less, they don't understand that for those who have a hunger issue.. that it's not making them feel any better.

Same with people who feel lonely or depressed... "Just smile or something"... That does the opposite of what you want it to do.

It takes like 3 minutes tops to fill up a passenger car from near 0 to 100% range. I would have to stop for gas 10 times in a single month to use 30 minutes of pump time, which, for a car with 500 mile range, would imply 5000 miles of travel in a single month, which is almost non-stop driving at 50 mph. Driving to a station is never an issue, because gas stations are ubiquitous, and found along the route you're traveling anyways.
I don't understand how Apple of 2023 is bad for society as a whole; how is the world better without them as they currently are?
I use both, about 50/50. I have a windows desktop and a mac laptop. Perhaps that's why I have difficulty adjusting because I am switching between the two. But I find the windows approach more intuitive since I use a combination of chrome web apps in separate browser windows and desktop apps, I don't like having to think about what type of windows switching I need to do, I just want to switch windows.

TBH, I can't remember all the drama and controversy over the years. This just seems like normal Reddit to me. It fits their MO to a tee.

Sure things were different 2005, but for the last 5-10 years it's been pretty clear what direction reddit has been headed in. So, I can't agree more that past behavior predicts future behavior.

Reddit's been like this for a long, long time.

I think they don't use ads because they already get a ton of money with green credits. I recall all the Tesla doomsayer a few years back saying Tesla was going broke then Tesla sold these credits to other companies for millions. If Tesla loses these edges, which will happen if other car companies go 100% green, then we'll see a more hate-able Tesla with ad-ware.

This is a weird argument. Every computer runs Chrome so that doesn't explain why anyone would want a ChromeOS device.

There's nothing wrong with the name, but it's also not so well-known or self-evident that it never needs to be explained.
I tried running ads through google and everything was fine for about a week after I created my account until I decided to update my credit card information for a new card (the old one was expiring soon). Google banned me immediately after I changed the information. Both cards were mine and both from the same bank, same address, etc. Ever since that happened google is asking me to pay ~$8 or so but when I try to pay they are not allowing me to pay because my account is banned. The appeals didn’t work and any attempt of opening a new account fail and I get banned again.

I got so annoyed that I’ve been pretty much declining all google job offers ever since. It got to the point that a google recruiter threatened me that there is a limit on how many times I can decline and I will never be able to get a job at google. Fine by me. Told them to never call me again.

My recommendation is always to avoid google ads if you can
Nobody wants to transact in an inherently deflationary currency with high fees, unless they are speculators or money laundering. It's a store of value at best, which is more like gold than a currency.

The gold standard was dropped for good reasons. It couldn't expand at the GDP growth rates and storage/transport fees were significant. Gold backed fiat solved the latter, but not the former.
The common explanation I've heard is that on the east coast the poverty and violence is more condensed into ghetto areas whereas on the west coast the misery is spread around by having poor areas interleaved with rich ones. You might consider that more fair, but it also makes it much less predictable. Personally I like being able to choose to stay way the hell away from it.
BMW in my circles has the reputation as being a brand you buy when you can afford to have a car in the shop most of the time. Most American brands have reputation as just being really poorly built and bad value props. Not sure how either of those two options overcomes that view.
The changes they are talking about are consumer visible changes to the large money makers. I'm in infrastructure so I don't have first hand knowledge of the former, but that tracks from what I've heard. Making large changes to search or ads sounds like a bureaucratic nightmare.

However, making changes to infrastructure, to technical products, to workspaces, to cloud products, and to APIs seem to strike a nice balance between quality and velocity. You need code reviews, there are tests and static analysis and all that jazz but otherwise ship it. There are very few MBAs around to stall things or create unnecessary process.
Could you post some citations? ADT's crime statistics seem pretty damning with 10x the national crime rate in some areas of downtown San Francisco. Even if the statistics indicate a decreasing crime rate, they would seem defiant of the most common kind of testimonials of the quarter-million-plus people who have left the area.
I sometimes suspect what's really going on with Tesla is that they want to become the world's manufacturer of EVs of all sorts, utility-scale energy storage systems, and software for EVs including ADAS.

Musk has said it: "the factory is the product." I kinda wonder if the real goal is, as the legacy OEMs quake, rattle, flail around begging for government handouts, and start to fail, Tesla knocks on their door and says "hey we can build your cars for you, with your brand on them, using our charging standard, our batteries, and our software. Just sign here."
For sure. But that’s an absolutely massive “if”. Almost guaranteed we’ll be transitioning to EVs (I mean, we already are at a small scale) before full self driving is reliable.

Tesla’s gross margins were much higher in 2011 than 2022. But yea, this is why I said it’s hard to separate how much of this was Tesla specific vs industry wide. However, the need to cut prices despite high inflation was unusual in the car industry and suggests a Tesla specific issue.
Downtown SF (and especially OP's neighborhood of 7th/8th Mission Street) is not the place to be. It's a bit like complaining about LA and living right near downtown.

Upper Market, North Beach, Hayes Valley, Valencia St, Mission Dolores, Polk Street, Upper Nob Hill, Haight Ashbury -- all fun locations.

I've lived near Dolores Park for the past 15 months now and have had a great experience. I've found community, made new friends, and have never felt unsafe whilst walking around at night.

We don't have highrise buildings or a thriving "downtown" like other urban cities, but we do have plenty of lively, energetic neighborhoods around the city and the best food & weather in the country.

I agree with the author that changes need to be made and that the homelessness problem is bad. But I think you can still have an overwhelmingly positive experience in the city if you pick one of the neighborhoods I mentioned above to live in.
The root cause is of course people who work for a living and pay taxes. How dare they want a family home. Pieces of garbage!
Seriously. his aversion to moving to other neighborhoods is ridiculous, he is practically living in the tenderloin

And that's exactly what the output of their factories feel like. Cheap and quickly built. ;-)

More haste, less speed and all that ...
I think different contexts call for different kinds of specification, but most commonly, I do think "synthesize a _function_ which for inputs x1, x2, ..., xk produces outputs y1, y2, ..., yk respectively", is a pretty good setup provided you then are willing to test it on xk+1 ... xn. The "programming-by-example" research direction aligned nicely with TDD, and functions provide a nice abstraction layer.

I _don't_ think a detailed program trace is the best "specification" in most cases because constructing that log includes making a lot of choices of _how_ the program arrives at its outputs. The full trace for meaningful programs might be quite large, and onerous to specify (or you'd just produce one from an already-working program, in which case what's the point?).

For me, the benefit of synthesis should be that the programmer can describe what should be done, rather than how. However, this can quickly lead to a complex "specification language" which can be just as burdensome to write in as the desired target language, which is why examples are appealing. But perhaps some combination, where we provide some examples and also some formally specified restrictions ("the `get_work_history` method returns `jobs: List[Jobs]` such that `map(_.start_date, jobs)` is non-decreasing according to the default comparator on Dates ...") is best, since examples will generally underspecify the program.

Update: the 'different contexts' I think is mostly that sometimes, some specific attributes of 'how' the synthesized program accomplishes its goals do matter -- e.g. you may want to synthesize some mathematical optimization code which really ought to use the GPU, and that isn't indicated in just input/output examples, or you may want to ensure that part of an embedded system uses constant memory and returns after a constant number of steps.

For me, the difference is the notion of "procedure" :

* scripts are a sequence of of parametrized commands. It's the list of interactives shell commands stored in a text file

* programs are everything else : as soon as there's a function/procedure definition inside a file, it's a program

In a way, it's all about control flow and recursivity : script can't be recursives (like a function calling itself) so it's usually less complex

It might seem arbitrary but we've all seen :

* bash "scripts" with functions inside the script is a program (but a bash script calling another bash script is not, as the called bash script is just considered a command)

* python "programs" without any procedure are actually scripts

In the end, scripts are just some kind of macro, used to repeat some finite sequence of actions (with parameter if necessary). They don't provide enough "power" to be compared to a program... and because of that, they are easier to read, modify

But YMMV
Why reddit is against users using their own api keys?
Really no. I’ll quote myself replying to another HN comment:

> If you go to ChatGPT and just ask it, you’ll get the equivalent of asking Reddit: a decent chance of someone writing you some fan-fiction, or providing plausible bullshit for the lulz.

I disagree. A layman can’t troll someone from the industry let alone a subject matter expert but ChatGPT can. It knows all the right shibboleths, appears to have the domain knowledge, then gets you in your weak spot: individual plausible facts that just aren’t true. Reddit trolls generally troll “noobs” asking entry-level questions or other readers. It’s like understanding why trolls like that exist on Reddit but not StackOverflow. And why SO has a hard ban on AI-generated answers: because the existing controls to defend against that kind of trash answer rely on sniff tests that ChatGPT passes handily.. until put to actual scrutiny.
Integrated GPUs have had sufficient fill rate to composite 4x4k pixels for a while now. 32 million pixels * 60 fps = 1.8 billion pixels per second, which is a lot but even integrated GPUs have compute measured in teraflops now. Memory bandwidth starts to become significant though - that 1.8Gpix/sec is 7.2Gbyte/s read, which is a big chunk of a DIMM's bandwidth if you have single-channel RAM.
Security Rules for Email (2016)
While we certainly have DKIM/SPF/etc, this is still a great reference.
Reminder that TCL was programmed at a time when SPARCstation IPXes with a maximum of 96MB RAM were being used.

Some of the lower-end SPARC machines could only have 16 or 32MB RAM and had perhaps 10 to 12 MIPS of computing power.

Expect, which became a very important extension of TCL, was released in 1990, when the SPARCstation 1+ with about 15 MIPS and max RAM of 128MB was introduced.

Thus any extension language like TCL had to be small and efficient; especially when you consider it was designed to be embedded inside another program.

California’s land is so arable specifically because there’s less rain to wash out soluble minerals from the soil.

It’s a catch 22: the more wet a place is, the less micronutrients there are available due to constant run off. As it turns out, historically it has been easier to bring water to a region than to replenish micronutrients in the soil to support industrial farming.

There's a lot of preamble, but this part is pretty clear:

>The core of the case and our position is that Google abuses its control over the ad server monopoly to make it increasingly difficult for rival exchanges to run competitive auctions. Further, Google’s exchange rigs its own auctions so Google’s advertisers can buy ad space at bargain prices. That means less investment in online content and fewer ad slots for publishers to sell and advertisers to buy. Google always wins because it takes a growing share of that shrinking pie.

I'm unclear on which pie is shrinking. The sources I could find confirm that digital advertising revenues continue to grow and grow [1], while newspaper digital ad revenues have stayed constant (and print advertising has dropped steadily) [2]. Meanwhile digital subscription revenue -- some of which is presumably driven by search discoverability -- is growing nicely, including that of Gannett [3].

So the question seems more about "how much of the growing digital pie should newspapers receive" as opposed to "Google is building its revenues while destroying a market".

My wife drives a Tesla and I drive newish rental cars on a reasonably frequent basis. So I have a basis for comparison. They are definitely not being beaten by larger players. At least not at this stage.

Their software is top notch compared to the mish-mash of home grown and Car Play on other vehicles. And the implementation of AutoSteer (free cut down version of self driving) is far superior to what I've seen in other cars.

I can see other automakers catching up in 2-3 years, but that is not the case right now.
> democracy what most people want or just the people

People, broadly. (And unfortunately, ambiguously.)

It is not what most people want, that’s majoritarianism, a known failure mode for democratic systems. The majority voting to execute the 10% whose views they don’t believe in is fine, electorally, but bankrupt, democratically.
Wow. This comes off as “yes, pay taxes AND make offerings to me”.

Kinda. They mention "snap to grid" which you would probably WANT to use with something like a tiling WM. But windows snap-to-grid is slightly different. You can still snap windows to hidden grid lines that move through existing windows. So you can get an overlap, but I don't think most people do that.

But the author mentions coming from Windows instead of Leenooks, so my guess is they don't know the loveliness of i3. (Though I have to admit... i3 defaults aren't my favorites. And vi keybindings are foreign to my emacs trained fingers. Which is why I just have a script that moves my windows around a Gnome or LXDE desktop.)

> Most podcast listeners don't have a proper RSS reader apart from their podcast app.

Sure, but I would assume that "RSS is dead" isn't so much about consumer awareness of RSS, but rather about the technology being invisibly supported and used in the infrastructure they make use of (through podcast clients et al) such that content producers still care about publishing through RSS.

Like, if I said "TLS1.0 is dead", I wouldn't be referring to greenfield projects not using it any more; but rather to the fact that the browsers and libraries that invisibly use it (and nothing newer) are themselves not being used by anyone any more — so nobody on the content-delivery end has to think about supporting TLS1.0 clients any more, and can drop any code that was supporting that.

But that's definitely not the case with RSS. There are still many important systems that depend on consuming RSS feeds. So there are people who still need to support RSS. So it's alive.
It runs Android apps too actually, including Word.

Traditionally, SF has bad property crime (lots of rich people to steal from) and low violent crime (too busy stealing things from rich people to shoot/hurt people).

> they would seem defiant of the most common kind of testimonials of the quarter-million-plus people who have left the area.

Most people leave because it is too full/expensive. The city (and Bay Area) cycles in and out people, it always has. But an equilibrium is always reached where it is still expensive but not expensive enough to lose population.
Tesla also made it work by making their chargers cheaper with smart engineering. CCS stations are huge monoliths packed full of fancy lights, touchscreens, ridiculously long cables, giant plugs. Superchargers have none of that. A cable no longer than absolutely necessary, a stand just large enough to hold it comfortably, a plug about as small as possible, no blinkenlights or touchscreens.
I feel like the population boom was enough to enable a few communities to settle in Lemmy and now they’ll grow more organically. So far I’m enjoying the quality of posts there, it’s definitely a situation where quality over quantity makes sense.
Spot on. In most previous decades, the city government (no matter the party) would have been able to take whatever action (probably more $$ for police and more enforcement) seemed appropriate to the problem, and that would be a non-partisan issue. Now even admitting that there is an actual issue seems to be a partisan stance.
