I disagree, naturally.

So, like most here, I'm a high IQ human.

Drop me on a random point on the planet, I die quickly. Narrow it down to land, I die quickly. Remove deserts and tundra, I die a little slower in most cases, unless I disturb a tiger, lion, bear, snake, boar, elephant, etc. Put me in a temperate woodland, I can at least make shelter, but I don't know which berries are edible, nor how to prepare wild legumes or tubers, I can't hunt (and I'm vegetarian but hypothetical animals don't count), so I'll probably still die fast. Put me in a random town, I might be able to survive on the charity of others until I can learn the language well enough to be vaguely useful and/or leave, but there's still a big risk of dying from not being able to communicate with local doctors when feeling unwell.

We're all heavily dependent on others; intelligence doesn't make us magically immune to that, neither does the absence of independence make us less smart.

A hypothetical AI likewise can still out-compete us in the economy, even in the cases where it remains utterly dependent on us.

It might (probably will) even know the Lotka-Volterra equations, and how much of an analogy they are — obligate carnivores adapted to only a few prey can wipe out their food source and die off in turn, something similar but the economics of having humans willing and able to power the AI — and yet still proceed.
Thank you, this is useful. And actually brings the most important concern: the support. If something will go wrong, you can talk to real people behind FastMail. In case of Apple - not sure what is going to happen.
Like what? In my neck of the woods, everyone uses Figma, XD or Sketch.
Policy makers often need to consider whether something is a 'net good' or 'net bad'. I would find it hard to believe that the current run-up of housing is a 'net good' in anything other than the extremely short term.

There are always anecdotes and dreamed up scenarios that enter the argument, and while those are interesting on a personal level, shouldn't really be the basis of policy.

Not much use tapping encrypted packets, which is why it terminates connections when able.
Email delivery is also one of those interesting things where even small amounts of downtime are tolerated because email is treated as an unreliable protocol. Must be a bit more comfortable to be in that biz. Although I guess also that means your business involves making customers happy on an unreliable protocol. So maybe it's about the same overall then...

Every time I tried to import/copy large photo sets (hundreds of gigs), the tablet would end up being useless for a long time and often even crashing. Which is ridiculous, I just wanted to copy the files. This is with a first gen iPad Pro.

I literally got it for copying photogrammetry data sets, so it was useless for the one basic task that I got it for. :(
That looks hilariously easy to defeat though it will require introducing "0x20,0x7e" padding to protocols heh.
> how good the M1 MacBook is

The primary deficiency of the macbook, and about 95% of all modern laptops, is the keyboard. Primarily the height reduction of the up/down arrows in the arrow key cluster. Nothing is more maddening for code navigation than these terrible, terrible keyboards. Same with the Esc key on many laptop keyboards, in which they are either size-reduced or eliminated entirely.

(yes, I know I'm "supposed" to use hjkl, but jk has never mapped to up/down in my brain, despite trying)

There are some "gaming" laptops that do the keyboard somewhat correctly, but driver support for all the RGB crap is effectively nonexistent in linux. Not to mention most of them are only FHD displays.

The market has largely failed to address the needs of developers.

My personal solution has been constructing my own "laptop" inside a Pelican case with a mini-itx motherboard, a 4k oled panel, a Drop Ctrl keyboard, two 10Ah 24v lithium-ion battery packs, an adjustable DC buck converter (with a little extra output capacitance added), and a couple of brushless fans.

As I wrote. That is an attempt to capture the cost of renting, not buying a house.
I paid for Reddit Premium for an ad-free experience. Reddit makes no ad revenue from me. All these moves won't change that for Reddit.

Spez's claim that "the app" is "generating" API calls is nonsense. It's users like you and me that generate API calls using an https client that, in this case, speaks API. Reddit Premium users are their highest ARPU class, over 10x what they claim they can get from advertisers.

It therefore seems obvious to partner with premium app devs, to allow the apps to support Reddit Premium users as a perk of Reddit Premium. Subscribing to both Reddit Premium (paying for ad free access) and app (supporting the app developer) is not a problem for these users.

The Venn Diagram for these two premium spends is clear -- and Reddit is attacking it to no possible gain. There is no alternative business model on the table better for them (and their IPO price) than a premium user remaining a premium user.

By killing my ability to pay for Apollo, they will not gain a single ad view from me, because I pay to not see the ads already.

Further, they will now also lose 10 users worth of ad views, because I will no longer pay for Reddit Premium.

Instead, let Premium accounts access through API, Reddit's Premium user count will balloon, and quality apps will gain a new audience of ready-to-spend subscribers, all with no impact on Reddit's ability to sell ads which make strictly less money than Premium accounts.

(I am confused why this obvious solve is never discussed. News reporting is accepting the premise apps issue API calls instead of users, Spez's AMA is terrible, and community threads are missing this. Apollo dev also fails to help the press understand the framing that Apollo is a user agent and "the web" was intended for use by user-agents. None of this is coming up.)
I like that they try to authenticate the photos as being from actual listings. Of course people could generate crazy photos. These are kind of just slightly bad, which makes it interesting. Also, I think the captions add a lot.

C++'s problem isn't that it stopped breaking stuff. C++'s problem, or as I like to call it, Katamari Dama-C++, is that it needed to freeze a long time ago and they just needed to build a new language. They're exactly who I am thinking of in terms of just making a new language.

By language scales, Rust is exploding on to the scene and eating C++'s lunch precisely because they won't stop mucking with it. You might say that in absolute terms Rust is still not that much code and that's true, but in terms of how languages tend to turn over Rust is blowing C++ away. Much faster than the usual such process.

There are other languages that just need to accept that they are what they are and that endlessly adding features is only making their situation worse. Looking at you, Python. The community should just have accepted that Python can not be multithreaded and it doesn't have a good async solution, and people who needed these things should have started moving to other languages for solutions to those problems, instead of accreting an ever-increasing bunch of features flailing about trying to solve these deep, fundamental problems, and convincing a whole bunch of people that if they just hang on for another year, 3 years, 5 years, maybe a bit longer, Python will someday solve their problem. Now they're years into that process and they'd have been better off just switching years ago instead of being on an increasingly complicated language, and Python would have been better off being a good Python instead of trying to chase the kids.
There's a more straightforward way: roam with a foreign sim card. Roaming traffic is tunneled to your home telco and for whatever reason the tunnel isn't inspected at all. With the advent of esims you can buy a roaming sim and use it on your phone within minutes.
Chrome randomizes the ClientHello these days[1], so JA3 is obsolete in that sense. You could still build a fingerprint off of the common advertised TLS parameters, disregarding their order.

I love McMansion Hell. It’s hilarious and I’ve learned from it. People with atrocious taste and enough money to impose it on the world should be exposed to ridicule.
Is this supposed to be a strong rebuttal ? How does this invalidate the alignment problem? I'd really like to understand.

Humans, via climate change and environmental destruction, have wiped out, many, many species. To those species we've killed, we're the super intelligence, we understand their plight, we even have strong empathy, but we prioritize our own goals over that of the helpless and the stupider creaters.

How she can't see that same pattern could potentially repeat, I really, really don't know.
I mentioned this a few years ago (maybe 7-8 years ago) on HN when I was told everyone just uses a VPN. Even back then, the cat and mouse game was annoying. You would purchase a VPN (plenty offered), pay a year subscription, and then it would go dark a couple of weeks later (sort of like a membership at a gym that closes down a week after you renew a year subscription). I gave up quickly on outside access, though we had a line out at work so it wasn’t that bad.
Thanks for the information, it is very interesting.
They'll be hurt by it, obviously, but I'd rather take that pain now than condemn the future indefinitely.

Of course that puts me at odds with what is apparently the vast majority of humanity. Fuck you, got mine and all that.

ironically, they would probably be better off creating a chatGPT moderator for each sub, it'd need to probably be programmatically unique to the sub.

The irony being chatGPT wouldn't exist without Reddit data and supposedly the cause of the API updates, even this Sam Altman is on the board of Reddit.

I'd like to build a DAO with a centralized hub which basically models taxonomies for things like channels or tags etc as well as being a central source of truth for usernames and authentications. It'd be fully open source and could be splintered if there's some conflict in the community. For instance racists can get bent and start their own centralized server and be defederated from the core.

What would be funny is if a meme started that Reddit is now hiring moderators, payment is fame and glory. Nazis, Bigots, Hypocrites, Cult leaders welcome, apply within. You know it'd happen. Reddit is about to become voat or worse 4chan 2.0 electric boogaloo.
The point is the comparison shows that previous generations were wealthier at a given age, not how much Gen X (<=24 years) or Gen Z(<=24 years) held at that point in time.
Is email really the right medium for that real-time communication? Being async in nature? What about spam filtering etc?
Lots of these types of sites from the past ten years, where the best ones capture the oddity of the photo with a hilarious caption. This one in particular seems really well done.

I expect the next phase of these sites liberally employ the use of AI tools for image generation, i.e. "an apartment with a lawn mower in it".
Many years back I was running a socks proxy for access while in China and I found that it worked great in Shanghai but was rapidly blocked (or degraded in some fashion) in Hangzhou. That seemed internal and not edge but I do no really know how they were interfering with it. Given Hangzhou's tech expertise it just may be the ISP there was more capable and up to date?

You could rent a VPS with AVX512 support and tinker around with it. I believe GCP has a few instance types that support it, AWS surely has some too.
It can mess with other views/lists on the site.

Why is the name Atom?
It seems like these days there are a hundred people working on AI and millions more who are making a career just discussing it. We don't need more ethicists, futurists, policy researchers, influencers, journalists, think tanks and whoever else in the space. There is nothing original left to say about any of these topics. If you aren't contributing to actual progress in the area then it's best to not shove yourself into the conversation at all.

That would change only nominal valuation, not real values.

Nobody becomes richer or poorer when nominal value of currency changes.

btw. Central banks interest rate can go negative only little until it becomes cheaper to hold money assets or transfer them to other assets. Nobody holds cash if interest rate is -5%. This is why deflationary spiral can't be countered with just going below zero.
I don't see a downside. The only people who would are those who bought in the last couple of years, but that's true whenever a bubble bursts.
Interesting, the full screen apps I use just keep going when switching window in Stage Manager, whereas some tasks are normally suspended when switching without Stage Manager. What about slide over? Link doesn't mention it, and Slack can be easily used in a slide over window.
If you are using obscure features then yeah, you are going to see breaking changes. Just try running Tomcat 7 on Java 8+. But there will always be exceptions like that in any language. Just like Rust has safety guarantees, until you start using "unsafe." But, I have applications that were coded in the 90s that are still running fine on Java 17 with minimal maintenance for security updates. No trans-piling necessary.

I don't know about these "Java Folks" but no one is claiming that Java is a magic unicorn. But it is a well designed language that has excellent backwards compatibility.

The entire situation smells like an iterated prisoner's dilemma that's going to end up locked in an eternal defect/defect cycle with assorted odd and unintended collateral damage on the margins.

Hopefully in your case - given what was being said about the options - the rebuilders will end up settling on the public cloud instance approach. If that happens, with a bit of luck you can go back to your UBI related advocacy once the rubble stops bouncing.

Hopefully.
Yeah, there's a research paper idea sitting there for someone who wants to run the numbers on some more ablation tests and see if there are any unwanted side effects. Though if it gets the claimed performance on non-finetuned data, you may not need to fine tune it in the first place.

There's a symbiotic relationship between the open source community and the academic research here: the broader community can explore a ton of different improvements, at a much more rapid speed than either the academic research (slower because it has additional objectives) or closed-source (because the lack of sharing means that a lot of low-hanging fruit gets overlooked). Academic research can build the bigger, more experimental projects that create new capabilities. Research can also do the testing and research that the broader dev community doesn't have the time and resources for, giving us a better idea of what parts actually work best and why it works. It can be very valuable to have a paper that tells us something everybody knows, because you can verify the common assumptions empirically and give us numbers that tell us things like how well it works.

I expect to see a lot more discoveries that bounce back and forth between the audiences, because both groups benefit in different ways.
In addition to the point mentioned by the sibling comment, I think there is also an element of "go where the users are", by which I mean that if FurryFriend558 spends 10x or 50x more time on Reddit or Discord, even if the ads are less effective the total effect is still higher.

Prior to dropping Reddit recently, I certainly spent more than two orders more time there than on Twitter.

I hear people say: We need a wealth tax!

I say: We already do, and it’s averaged out to 4.2% over the last 5 years. Saved $30K in 2018 to maybe get married and buy a house? It’s less than $24K now before even considering housing affordability. You paid a $6K wealth tax without realizing it.
> only 41% expect to own a home one day. This may be because they’re young, and such financial goals seem too far away to properly comprehend

I have to say I found estate agents quite useful (mostly when I was renting). I much preferred dealing with a letting dept. of a reputable estate agency than random landlords. Yes, I had good landlords(funnily enough when I was quite poor in the cheapest accommodation possible), but I had bad ones too. I never had a bad renting experience with an agency. Stuff always got repaired on time, cleaners got hired to clean common areas, electricity and gas got inspected regularly. All those things are not a certainty with random landlords and you only find out once you've moved.

Atom vs RSS is a great example of how technical correctness is trumped by social factors, in this case namely support from makers of popular software and content as well as social influence and documentation skills of creators.

The person who pushed RSS to success (IMO) Dave Winer was superb at communicating and evangelizing his goals, connecting partners like Netscape and NYT, and documenting his work including the RSS related tools he built.

His spec was “worse” in the sense that it was under specified but better in the sense that it achieved wide support (both in text and podcast form) among people who made content. This is partly because Dave had first an influential email newsletter and Wired column (DaveNet) and second an influential very early blog Scripting News. He had also been working with news companies for years at prior startups. He could write well. He showed up for and arranged meetings with people who did not at first understand the need for something like rss. He was clear and relentless in his promotion which was borne out of what seemed to be a genuine desire for open standards in this area rather than greed / trying to do lock in.

People with technical backgrounds in places like this tend to fixate on the technical aspects of Atom vs RSS. There is no question Atom is more technically correct. There is also no question (IMO) it came too late and focused on the wrong things — being correct and complete at the expense of being complicated and hard to understand — and more importantly was led and promoted by people who lacked the social skills to make it popular outside of technical circles. (These folks could be brutal about rss's flaws without seeming to have awareness of this shortcoming in their own effort.)
Are you joking? Reddit has hyper-focused niche communities, this should be a cake walk to advertise to. You can see exactly which book series I'm reading, which TV shows I'm watching, what my hobbies are, what my profession is, etc. If you can't figure out how to advertise to Reddit users then I can't help you.

In addition to ads they have Reddit Gold (or whatever their membership program is called, it's bad that I've been on the platform for a decade and I have no idea). They made the same mistake Twitter did with Twitter Blue: "Why would I subscribe?". At least Reddit gives you "No ads", Twitter gives you "Less ads". Ok, so no ads but the UI/UX of the official app is trash, it's messy and inconsistent. If they had said "Buy our subscription to keep using 3rd party apps" I would have paid in a heartbeat.
Does Storygraph have a better moderation story? Or does it just have fewer trolls because it’s smaller?
How much of this is due to not having the internet during the time NatGeo's heyday? During that time, the only way accessible to see that kind of content was with their magazine. That was also a time before 24/7 channels of content. Today, there are so many documentaries, TV shows, TV channels, YouTube channels, streaming platforms, websites all offering some form of content similar to NatGeo (if some of it wasn't directly lifted from NatGeo I'd be amazed). Now, we have scanners and printers, so cutting magazine pages is no longer necessary. Times have changed, and the nostalgia lingers hard

> Borosilicate is more durable than regular glass. It's generally less prone to shattering, and it's also more tolerant of rapid temperature changes.

You sure about that? I always heard that borosilicate was significantly less durable (30% is the figure I remember, not sure if that's 30% less or 70% less) and all the thermal shock resistance came from lowering the CTE.

I don't know if that was a half truth from a soda-lime salesman or if nostalgia googles are giving borosilicate credit it does not deserve.
Certainly a single Russian ICBM functioning correctly would be the worst disaster in human history and its a safe assumption at least some have been maintained. I do not want to find out the exact number. This article is talking about a full exchange with Russia as an example. In a purely academic sense, I think its interesting to speculate on if that can even happen.
