> By making reddit "closed" in this way I suspect it will very quickly degrade.

It already has. The time around the protests about the API closure saw many new subreddits rise drastically in popularity and many of these new subreddits are entirely rage-bait. The "fun and funny" front page has been replaced by "enraging and infuriating" content. You can feel the tone of comments has shifted, similar to the shift that happened in 2016 when Bernie lost.

Additionally, the amount of "viral advertising" has drastically increased. There are multiple posts, daily, with 5 figure vote totals that are simply ads disguised as posts.

Reddit's space is ripe for disruption. The next time money is free, I expect some big pockets to challenge reddit.
You're likely confusing it with /r/TheNetherlands, which was created after this takeover.

> the terrible people won...

When that dynamic takes hold, it is more that the good people failed. There is an extremely real subset of the population that gets a thrill out of telling other people what to do and damn the technical consequences of their orders. If people who are uncomfortable being in charge don't figure out a way to get over their own reservations; then guess who will hold all the positions of power? People who really want to. And not necessarily because they are nice or capable people, but because they'll say or do anything.

The part that frustrates me is that technically competent people often get brutally attacked because they lack charisma. It is wildly counterproductive.
I really liked that the phone was mine, work didn't call me. The pager was for work, and they had to use that to get me to come in for issues. Nice clean separation.

You are right. Tunnel and TLS both end on Cloudflare. It’s not end to end. In fact CF scans the traffic supposedly for malware.
The developer also uses their app store, AltStore, to distribute a clipboard manager app, which isn't allowed in the app store.
"What are those other applications?"

For starters, Travertine is highly popular in jewelry. When a rockhound passed away here where I live, his custom house was being demolished by the new owners and they invited the community to come rescue any thing they could. I rescued a bunch of the travertine slabs to use as teaching material for new rock cutters.

Everyone I know who speaks about a corporate death penalty includes liquidation to pay pack victims. I've never heard someone argue for the corporate death penalty without "liquidation" and "license revocation and/or personal liability for senior management."

The difference between this and a big fine:

* Lots of big fines aren't big enough to actually kill companies that deserve it,

* Fines tend to go to the government, while companies that deserve a "death penalty" often have victims who could use that money,

* Bankruptcy doesn't prevent people from starting another company, or board members who failed at oversight to join another board.
Yup, in a decade or so it'll be impossible overthrow a tyrannical government and between stuff like this and surveillance there can be oppression without consequences
I think 16gb should be the minimum on such an expensive product, but...

They can raise prices and start at 16gb, and they price low-end buyers out of the market and lose sales.

The can keep prices and start at 16gb, and they convert mid tier buyers into low end buyers, and lose $200 per sale on formerly mid-tier buyers. I reckon they did the math and additional low-end sales wouldn't compensate for mid-tier loss and margin reduction on all products.

I think they don't change because any change leads to a financial loss. I guess the PR and reputation loss isn't great enough to overcome that.

Their memory and storage pricing is detached from underlying costs, and is just an artificial way to segment customers into normal people with modest needs, and crazy people like us willing to pay through the nose.

And, also, I think they're probably right, that a majority of low-end buyers never reach extremes of memory pressure. They use Macs like expensive Chromebooks or iPads with keyboards.

Hopefully the new local AI initiative will give fresh incentive to ramp up memory and dislodge them.
Well, presumably there's some people who wouldn't be able to afford the upfront tuition?

But you're right, $30k (in the worst case) is a lot of money to pay for less than a year of bootcamp.
Not just pg, also the stripe founders have been fawning over Austen. They all knew it was a predatory “school” but backed it anyway.
That is probably the end of income share agreements (ISA). If any companies are doing ISA like that, most probably they would have to collect money upfront just like other bootcamps as well.
Well, damn. I put effort into making a thing that could be tried out by anonymous users but still had RLS policies and now they've provided a solution that would have made the whole thing heaps easier.

> Doesn't the observation come first, and the math just explains what was observed?

and feel the need to point out that math for Pluto's rough position came first and directed observers (roughly) where to look; that math for symmetry groups and permutations came first and then real world applications in crypto came later; that math for non Euclidean geometry was worked upon before physical observations suggested Newton wasn't exactly correct in his mechanics and Einstein got hyperbolic about lightspeed.

Math can come along before any observations are made that might suggest the math has application .. there was at least one mathematician in history that expressed a dread that their work might find an application (eg: in war, etc).

An explanation for how the Higgs field gives mass to other particles is buried in the links at the bottom of the article:

https://profmattstrassler.com/articles-and-posts/particle-ph...

https://profmattstrassler.com/articles-and-posts/particle-ph...

Because of the simple interaction between the S and Z fields with strength y, a non-zero equilibrium value S0 for the S field gives the Z quantum a mass proportional both to y and to S0.

The S field’s non-zero value has given mass to the particle of the Z field!

Basically particles are quanta of a field away from its equilibrium value. The nonzero equilibrium value of the Higgs field gives particles in other fields their masses, due to the coupling of the fields, if I read this right (I'm sure I didn't).

I wish he would have mentioned if the Z field is related to the Z boson:

https://pasayten.org/the-field-guide-to-particle-physics/z-b...

The Z’s don’t hang around very long. Being so heavy, they decay into all kinds of things: quarks, muons, neutrini, you name it! Like the W’s, they appear for something like 3x10^-25 seconds before decaying. A photon can’t even get across a proton that quickly.

Unfortunately naming collisions are frequent in physics, and I don't have time to dive into it and assign the two Z into proper namespaces. Also there's no way to understand part of this without understanding all of it, similarly to how often there's no way to use one service in AWS without understanding many unrelated services like IAM, because of its use of 20th century metaphors like identity/access control by source address instead of doing it "the web way" by granting access via a key. The web way allows us to step up to a higher level of abstraction and not get mired in minutia.

Why I worry about this is because the gluon in the strong force is self-interacting:

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/physicists-finall...

Which suggests to me that it's actually two or more things that are each not self-interacting. But the noncontextual terminology and thick notation of particle physics leads one to stop at the notion of a gluon and not question its oddities, or never arrive at understanding it in the first place. So here we get distracted by trying to remember names rather than coming up with better models for what happens in the span of light crossing a proton, which we can't see anyway.

I just feel more and more that bigger accelerators aren't going to solve this stuff, because the real problem is that only a few dozen scientists in the world actually understand quantum mechanics. Its sort of like how tensors are hard to reason about, and maybe it's worth scrapping them and going back to matrices holding various types because that's more approachable for humans. I would compare the problem to how the use of single letters for variable names made C code in the 1990s harder to read than Javascript today. I wish we had the time, money and resources to refactor physics so that more people could be involved with brainstorming. Short of that, I'm hopeful that AI will summarize this stuff so that we can work with it more like, I dunno, geometry.

Maybe, perhaps maybe, you make an environment where they don't want to jump ship at the drop of a hat.

Sure, but that's because you've clearly thought about the matter a lot. A sibling comment mentions that teacher go through mandatory reporter training -- if that's the case, then maybe you're right (depends on how frequently that's being refreshed etc.). Otherwise, I think the adjective "naive" is really way more appropriate than "insane".

(And that's part of the reason why some of the ways in which parts of society react to these things is so problematic. If you're reacting that strongly to something that most likely is just the result of naivety, then frankly you have a much stronger claim to being insane than the person who's being naive.)
My tiny company is starting on this philosophy. The core device and our real IP is closed-source, but all the other components around it are open. Going forward, the same sort of thing will apply - almost everything open, except the bits that are actually hard to replicate.

Since the market is security, it makes a lot of sense to open-source as much as possible without compromising our market positioning.

I believe several other security-related companies (Tailscale comes to mind) also adopt this philosophy.

I watched a "locked in" man use a computer mouse with a brain implant in 2002. It remains to be seen if this is actually better than what's been done before other than torturing a bunch of monkeys running needless experiments.

Also I doubt Musk had much to do with the brain implant other than being someone to push people forward and being a bag of money for it. Did he design the implant? Did he insert it? Did he code it?

SpaceX was the company he was most involved, and still is pretty involved. Just watch any factory tour he made, be it the 2005 ones or the new Texas ones. Or hear what people who worked with him talk.

And I can't trust that site. An example:

3,129 days since Elon Musk said Teslas would have 1,000 kilometer (621 mile) range within a year or two. (9/23/2015)

"My guess is probably we could break 1,000 kilometers within a year or two. I'd say 2017 for sure."

An altered quote taken out of context. Here what he actually said from the interview[1]:

Q: When will we break the 1000km range mark for an electric car?

M: A thousand kilometers, hmm. Well, it depends under what circumstances for a thousand kilometers. As it is, the record right now for Model S is 800 km. That is the furthest that anyone has driven a Model S...

Q: So we could be close?

M: Yeah, we're pretty close. Now, in order to do that they did drive at a relatively slow speed. So, you know, we're taking, I think they drove maybe at 40 or 50 km/h or something like that. But I think, my guess is probably we could break a 1000km within... a year or two?

Q: Okay, so within 2016 maybe even?

M: I say if you say 2017 I'd say 2017 for sure.

His prediction turned out completely accurate[2].

I wanted to replicate many parts of the Ai pin and did research into laser projectors. It’s probably a MEMs projector. The cyan color they use is custom, at least. Minifying that tech and making it robust enough to be knocked around on a wearable device is pretty challenging and I couldn’t find anything of a similar size off the shelf. They also run pretty hot and apparently the pin has heat issues (and according to folks at CES (?) using the laser a lot makes it over heat.
I agree with you that yt-dlp is the most practical way to do this stuff, but that simply isn't clear to most folks.

Pretend you don't know how to download videos, the first thing you do is google "how to download youtube videos". The result? A whole lot of bad advice-- sketchy websites, clickbait videos, advice to pay for youtube premium, warnings that it's illegal and that google can cut off your access, vlc player can do it apparently, and then finally inside a reddit thread someone writes "yt-dlp is the best" (nothing else, no link). One would think that google itself has an interest in keeping this information away from people :-).

I can't even remember how I first found it myself!

Wearable sensors for activity monitoring and motion control: A review (2023)
If you look at many older anti-trust cases from before 1970s, the bar for successful enforcement often seems unbelievably low when comparing it to how things are today. Take a look at this, for example: https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/370/294/

But then there was a drastic change in approach to anti-trust during the Reagan era:

"Bork argues that the original intent of antitrust laws as well as economic efficiency makes consumer welfare and the protection of competition, rather than competitors, the only goals of antitrust law. Thus, while it was appropriate to prohibit cartels that fix prices and divide markets and mergers that create monopolies, practices that are allegedly exclusionary, such as vertical agreements and price discrimination, did not harm consumers and so should not be prohibited."

"From 1977 to 2007, the Supreme Court of the United States repeatedly adopted views stated in The Antitrust Paradox in such cases as Continental Television, Inc. v. GTE Sylvania, Inc., 433 U.S. 36 (1977), Broadcast Music, Inc. v. CBS, Inc., NCAA v. Board of Regents of the University of Oklahoma, Spectrum Sports, Inc. v. McQuillan, State Oil Co. v. Khan, Verizon v. Trinko, and Leegin Creative Leather Products, Inc. v. PSKS, Inc., legalizing many practices previously prohibited."

OK so why don't these companies let the users try? If you are right, they won't be able to do it anyway, so no harm done. Why do companies use every technical and legal trick in the book to prevent people from even trying? It's obviously about what makes the company more money.

> Seems from the article he wants to build something that doesn't adhere to local code restrictions on height and size limits.

Meh. It seems as if his plans were approved, and now those plans are being reviewed, because a few noisy neighbors want to meddle with how he wants to use his land. If those neighbors didn't want someone else to use the land, they could have bought his land, like the town bought the acreage above.

> It seems to be a part of the human condition to want to say "we should make these rules!" and then say "but I don't mean for me"

It seems more like these neighbors are trying to achieve what they couldn't achieve with their dollars. Like -- now that they've bought some land ~4000 feet up the mountain, their wish, through regulation or otherwise, is to make sure no one builds any higher. Again, this is simply rich people pissing on each other.

If this was about water rights, something important, etc.? I could understand the meddling. But, here, I don't tend to think this is very principled. So, if there is a principle I'd defend, it's that this guy owns it, and he should be able to build what he wants.

"It took millions of years to form"

Not particularly. Travertine and dolomite limestone are hydrothermal depositions. They form quite rapidly, and in some locations you can watch it being formed to this day, like in some areas of Yellowstone (where the travertine is only a few thousand years old at best.) Dolomite is a little slower than Travertine to grow, but what we now understand about its formation also means it was very likely to have been rapidly-formed by simple geologic acid washes over shorter periods of time than we initially thought - read https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidbressan/2023/11/27/scienti... and you'll catch on to what I'm saying.
