Sunstein and Thaler had a great term for this in Nudge: "pluralistic ignorance".

An important problem here is pluralistic ignorance – that is, ignorance, on the part of all or most, about what other people think. We may follow a practice or tradition not because we like it, or even think it defensible, but merely because we think that most other people like it.

The book mentions men in Saudi Arabia (I think) who in private supported more freedoms for women but in public expressed the opposite because they thought other men were more conservative when it came to women's rights.

its a good question. i accumulate so many temporary images saved from day to day internet usage that at the end of the year there's just thousands and thousands of files. i started a ritual a few years ago where i would comb through all of my 'temp' images throughout the year and pick my favorite and turn it into a slideshow; for me that's been the best way of taking my favorite images, doing something with them, then not having to think about it any more. heres one from 2021 [0]

I'm not really convinced that discovery was a problem with the old forums

If you're referring to the time when the "old forums" were new, that is a world which no longer exists: a world where Google search results were useful and not overloaded with paywalled sites and SEO spam. Today, you're going to have a very difficult time finding those "old forums" unless you know the exact name of what you're looking for. And forget about browsing.

As for "people today have too many options, back in the day we had fewer options and we were fine!" that's a very old argument you'll have a hard time convincing many people of.

They didn’t even have to reverse course for this to work out. Just give a reasonable runway before beginning to charge for the API (to give third party clients enough time to adjust their subscription customers who may have just paid for a year), and charge a reasonable price.

Two months before starting to charge $0.24 per 1,000 requests is nothing but unreasonable.

I wish Reddit had just plainly said, “We don’t want third party clients anymore.” This whole thing would’ve been cleaner. Still bad, but I don’t think it would’ve been nearly as ugly.
> If the local authorities have an actual life-and-death emergency broadcast to make to the entire area they serve, I suspect they have a more effective means to do this than Twitter.

Youre not wrong, but that doesn't mean they make effective use of them. During one of Canada's deadliest mass shootings, the police elected to only post information on Twitter.

That's the thing - what I like about reddit is that every single community is right there. I don't need to figure out a new complex system. It's a megaforum with every single subniche you can think of, without having to go to any other site or any other server

I want a centralized megaforum. I don't care about federation or what technology it uses. I just want easy access to everything
Features that are locked off permanently are less scummy. It's a bad way of emulating different production lines, but at least it doesn't let them charge ongoing rent.

Since the post I'm responding to seems to be drawing negative attention, I'd like to make clear: I do respect Graeber, and think that his work on the origins of money in particular are far more credible than that suggested by Smith.

Smith does best where he comments on that which he can observe directly. He's weak on ancient history and what we'd now call archeology and anthropology (Graeber's own specialisation), as well as on contemporary conditions he'd not directly witnessed --- the American Colonies, again, or China, come to mind.

But in observing and commenting on actual trade, commerce, and politics of his own time and place, there's a great deal of wisdom. His commentary on prices suggests to me a number of classes of goods & services (commodities, assets, rents, wages, skilled / privileged work, public goods, capital stock) with distinct pricing tendencies, some of which behave poorly in open markets. His commentary on the components of wages is excellent (I've mentioned this numerous times over the years on HN). His commentary on the practices of privately chartered companies operating as empires and armies abroad are telling (and little commented on by the usual vociferous "champions" of Smith).

It's useful to keep in mind that all authors and authorities have their strengths and weaknesses. The one shouldn't blind us to the other, either way.

(Graeber also has his ... excessive enthusiasms, I'll put it. But he's also intelligent, a keen observer, and doesn't fall slave to orthodoxies and convention.)

Photoview (self-hosted web app) does a pretty good job to group pictures by faces. It first self-detects similar faces and then lets you merge these groups together. New pictures then get directly assigned to these groups. For kids, I usually had pretty large self-detected groups, e.g. years <1; 1-2, 1-7; 7>. The most mismatched group was baby pictures (<1 years old kids).
I vaguely recall a story about some enterprise critical app that some madman hacked out in elisp because time was tight.
> This means that the instanceof operator will not work as expected, and it will generate false negatives!

But this isn’t a silent failure, so it’s obviously detectable and therefore (if you know why) avoidable. It’s also so rare that you’d need to read a blog article to even know it was possible.

So I’ll keep using jest, because my tests all pass. When I hit one that doesn’t (and I can’t figure out why) I keep this in mind, but otherwise “not recommended” is overkill.
Maybe they think the next "internet" needs to be entirely P2P or something?

Either way Fediverse has its problems but it's the best "old internet" i've seen in a long time. Lemmy and Kbin are just the start. I'm excited to see where it goes. Developing for the Fediverse is fun, frankly.
Can we compromise and let me disable captcha for my login if my only two-factor auth method is a hardware token? The only scenarios in which that chain is compromised... are not going to be helped by a Captcha.

Actually now I'm even more annoyed at this, because maybe it IS helping them stop some perceived scraping? Even though my usage pattern of the one in mind is clearly not scraping behavior.

Very fun facts :)
This is all oddly specific.
The problem is that the stance is incredibly shortsighted and in a way bigoted itself. Take a word filter that contains some regex for n**a. They are saying you should never use slurs and this word in particular in public discourse.

So the word above word is used in lyrics of a music genre with predominantly black musicians. In addition to saying we don't want our software to be used by racists, they also say "we don't want our Software to be used to discuss certain kinds of black music" (arguably a racist stance just by itself). Talk about unintended side effects.
Agreed. I didn't and wouldn't say it's a good practice. It can be quite risky in fact. I only said it was possible. Your warning is a good one as I didn't intend to imply that just because you ,can doesn't mean you should

> The impression I’ve had is that he is against broad forgiveness and does want repayments to start again.

Okay, but what is the basis for this impression?

> Note though that the $10,000 forgiveness is less than what he campaigned on.

The $10,000-$20,000 foregiveness plan (with an income cap) is less universal the “at least” $10,000 he called on Congress to provide all borrowers during the campaign, as President-elect after the campaign, and sought (but was rebuffed on) as President in the stimulus bill. It's what he thought he could justify as executive action under HEROES (and even that turned out to be wrong), not what he wanted.

> We should not confuse, in general, new program initiatives as an indication that this is what the politician proposing the initiative wants.

Absent specific, articulable, evidence-based reasons to believe otherwise, we certainly should take them as exactly that, especially when they keep coming back with different approaches when rebuffed.

> Sometimes proposals have to be made to appease the base.

Yes, but the claim that any particular proposal is merely a sop to the base should be backed by evidence; the fact that it is sometimes true does not, by itself, support ascribing that basis to any particular policy proposal.
Wow, I don't think I've heard of them since shortly after they hyphenated themselves.
That is so strange. Like legalizing drugs through allowing people to sell it but prosecuting the people who purchase it.
For some reason whenever I submit the correct Twitter link from the team (which adds some nice color to the paper), HN seems to automatically modify the link to just point to Twitter-home post-submission.

I mean this is going to be hard to phrase without sounding like an old man shouting at the clouds, but it comes down to the fact that I don't want to live next door to dozens of people. It's one of the reasons I chose not to live in a denser area. People and their cars are loud. I don't want light pollution shining onto my property at night. I don't want a tall building next door with windows looming into my yard. I would be sad to see all the old growth trees cut down to make way for the construction or street widened for the traffic.

And you can say if I don't like those things then don't live somewhere where it's a thing. Which is exactly why I live where I do, and if that situation changed I'd leave. But it's not hard to empathize with people that want to preserve the kind of community they bought into.

This should apply to humans as well then because brains ultimately do the exact same thing. Nobody creates art in a vaccuum.
As I said, sometimes plastic has the advantage. For example, say you ride a bicycle and you carry a plastic water bottle in your pants cargo pocket (as I do), then if or when you crash to the ground it won't shatter as glass does. Same for beaches, broken glass amongst the sand is not a good combination.

These are good uses for plastic—especially if bottles have an effective deposit on them. (Even if you own a refillable bottle and consider it a permanent fixture, it too will ultimately be returned for the deposit at the end of its useful life).

It's not a matter of banning plastics, it's all about implementing clever regulations that protect the environment. Trouble is corporate and vested interests will fight us every inch of the way to stop them from being introduced.

On the matter of alternatives to plastic (and glass), this is difficult if we want to get rid of plastics altogether as presently there's not much to choose from for liquids other than aluminum or steel cans but they're also a good choice being easily recyclable (and the deposit system works well with them too).

Drink containers, whilst a big problem, can easily be solved with the deposit system. A much harder issue is the inappropriate use of plastics and that mainly takes two forms, (a), using cheap or the wrong type of plastic in applications where it breaks and thus is disposed of inappropriately, and (b), its use in packaging. Most packaging can be made from other non-plastic materials (cardboard, etc.) which are very satisfactory and environmentally friendly (as was done in the past).
its ridiculous people still have a hard-on for the nordic model. they just think "how clever! we solved it ya'll!"

any effort rooted in the prohibition of sex work will harm workers, and these efforts are based on enacting their discomfort with men having increased access to transactional sex as a normal option.

this model simply exacerbates trafficking by removing one of the main ways exploitation is reported at all - by workers confiding in customers they've built rapport with!

it has to be harmonized as a labor issue, rooted in harm reduction.

edit: there it is

Something similar happened in Spain in 2014, when a local law would have forced Google to pay for linking or using abstracts. They shut down Google News.

Been using Memmy — a few weeks ago, it felt like a very impressive beta app, and since then it's gone to just feeling like a great app. Seems to have taken a lot of good lessons from Apollo in terms of responsiveness and speed. Planted the seed of wanting to even host my own Lemmy instance.
I feel like this is an upside down black market. In drugs you want to create marketplaces to control the flow of the substance. In sex you want to ban marketplaces, even if you allow purchases and selling because those basically are too close to human trafficking or pimps, though you could create body guard and check in services to ensure sex workers get to an appointment and get back home.
I have read the article (though I will admit, quite quickly). The author's definition for AI is by any means not the single one out there, as they outlined themselves. I disagree with the premise that this will be the job of the decade, and I disagree with the premise that it is inherently different from the rest of software as a service. This is a tool, that can be used to solve certain problems, I doubt there is a useful differentiation. That's my point of view, it is antagonistic to what is presented there, and I don't see why you think it departs from usefully commenting on the article.
It doesn't have to do with feature completeness but rather the network effect. Even if you build a pixel-by-pixel copy of Twitter how are you going to convince everyone to move there?
For me, the most obvious problem is that it’s often mixing wrong information in. I found a couple of very simple examples where it accurately explained things but anything longer tended to have multiple incorrect points

On a deeper level, though, I don’t know that it’s actually useful. I haven’t found a single example where it added anything which wasn’t present in the authored text, and the explanations tend to be very pointless mechanical descriptions which miss the larger point of why you’d want to do things. On the popover API page, for example, it had a bunch of regurgitated comments before telling me that you’d need to write a bunch of JavaScript to actually toggle popover visibility when the whole point of that API is not needing to do that. That was also interesting with the incorrect claim that it was a non-standard attribute and you’d need to implement it using a JavaScript framework like Vue.js when you think about how much code someone might write if they relied on that explanation.
Things around you are going to change. That’s the nature of life. You can fight against it, for a while.
I suspect it's sometimes just a person's tradition to express one preference in public and another in private, and they might not have given much thought to their genuine preferences or how they compare to what they're expressing.
Same. I'm actually attempting to make my own, but in similar motivation from your comment, i'm trying to make mine reduce engagement. I want something that explores the positives of social/link-aggs/etc, but doesn't try to keep engagement high.

Something that lets you check it once a day and not feel like you missed anything. etcetc

I think there were good things about Reddit but it is scary how deeply Reddit (and frankly, HN) have driven muscle memory and addictive doomscroll behavior. I'd love to see more people explore features which attempt to extract user value from these platforms but minimize addictive features.

Difficult, but a fun area to explore.

Think the biggest slow down is from it running all the test suites in isolation in separate contexts (think that's the right word). I got frustrated with how slow our frontend tests were one day like 4 years ago and wrote a hacky jest runtime that reused the context unless it detected jest.mock or jest.spy or timer stuff in the file it was on. It speed it up by 2x with cache cleared. It was still pretty slow though...

There was also an existing issue opened requesting this to be built in by a lot of people and facebook said lol no.
Many people I know seem to basically rely on stuff they need to know showing up in their Facebook (or sometimes, even more bizarrely, Instagram) feed.
Disagree. The refusal to build any new homes where people want to live is creating huge problems for all of society: it prevents people from starting families, it's massive wasted economic opportunity whenever people can't move to where they'd be most efficient, and it shunts tons of investment dollars into the pockets of landlords instead of providing useful value. It's an existential threat to the country.

At some point it has to be treated as a negative externality like pollution, and the people responsible for it need to pay their fair share of these externality costs.

The potential fallout from this decision is massive and disheartening...
