It's egregious how it won't even let you view photos if you don't give it full access. This was one of the motivating factors for me to de-Google.
I don't think reddit let's you do this in anymore than a superficial way. I think reddit keeps the old edits internally so it won't harm the LLM. There were reports after the last protest of reddit reverting mass edits.
As childhood is extended, the other epochs have to be moved to accommodate it.

Used to be, someone who was 16 was considered a (young) Adult, ready to live on their own, start a family, be responsible for themselves and others. Now that point is at least a decade later.

I like that. I am going to use this moving forward.
Remember Grant Shapps the previous industrial strategy minister and current defence minister used to sell courses on how to make £20,000 on the internet in a month. £400 for the course. So this is not really that surprising.
I think the sentences before that one lay out the facts for the position that AI is not their core assets. Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Threads are.

Dear sir, may I interest you in the initial coin airdrop of WSDLCoin? It is going straight to the moon.
For what it is worth, in my comments I am attempting to put aside any subjective assessment of the noncompete ban being good or bad. I am very interested in the rational basis for the FTC having the authority to do it (or not).
Their core asset is targeted advertising on their social network, none of that is any open, and that's what the GP means.
Meta’s core business is Facebook and Instagram attention: posts, social graph, ads. It is not generous around those things.

OP’s point was that Meta is being generous with other people’s business value (AI goodies), but not their own (content, graph, ads).

They still removed it.
The new Paint is a parody.
Since the blackouts last year and the recent IPO, it feels like astroturfing and spam have increased, while quality contributions have decreased. All usage metrics are up according to Reddit's IPO filings, but it feels like engagement is actually down, or at least lower quality. Many niche subs feel like ghost towns now.

Is this just my subjective impression or do you feel the same?
And in some "niches" like PC gaming it's 97% (per latest Steam hardware survey).
So it will be less and less possible to use apps downloaded from other places. This is both anti-user and anti-competition.

Hey MarkinK, that's a great initiative. ozma.io looks good! What's the stack?

Open-sourcing it could be a good move to create a thriving community of supporters and customers but have in made that there are already multiple open source ERPs and CRMs, many of them very good. A few months ago I reviewed some of the options and what I saw was that:

- most projects are too old and are basically legacy code, clunky, ugly and difficult to extend - an established ERP/CRM after all

- The new ones are nice and look good but lack the features needed and being battle-tested over time

Where does your solution fit?
The US definitely could embrace some of those ideas. Its not "too big".

From the article and comments, I'm assuming this will operate similarly to how Windows makes it slightly harder to run applications that aren't signed by a known trusted source.

If so, I don't have a problem with that.

Not concentrating on localization and expanding their TAM.

Japanese firms had much less money to play around with after the Asian financial crisis in the 1990s, and localization costs a LOT of money.

Japan is already a large (125M+ pop, $4T GDP) market with an insular population that only really speaks Japanese.

This meant Japanese companies line Sony, Toshiba, etc can survive by just selling to Japanese customers without having to worry about spending money on innovating or building competitive products, as non-Japanese companies didn't care as much about Japanese localization and Japanese consumers couldn't really afford dollar denominated products on a Japanese salary.

Within 15 years, Japan got overshadowed by Korea, which to Japanese before rhe 2010s was what Americans think of Mexico. Korea has a much smaller population and historically had a much poorer population than Japan (they only caught up in median household incomes recently-ish - last 5 years), and as such Korean companies were more international facing and open to adopting best practices from abroad and competing in the developing world (it was Korean companies like Samsung that paved the path for Apple to begin manufacturing in China, India, and Vietnam)

Companies like Sony, Toyota, and Kirin got overshadowed by Samsung (Korea), Hyundai (Korea), and Lotte (Korea), and Korean conglomerates like Lotte began buying up Japanese prestige brands, and even Japanese-Koreans became like Mayoshi Son major titans of industry
Making their APIs easy to use like they used to be 10 years ago will be equivalent to releasing their core assets. In the past you could do almost anything from the Facebook API that you could do with their web or mobile app.

They release a lot of open source stuff as other commenters have mentioned but you can't build a Facebook or Instagram competitor just by integrating those components.
Apple seems to be doing the best thing too and mostly leaving macOS alone and letting it just be quietly competent. It’s an… OS, with a nice UI, that… works!

Linux can do the same thing. The Linux desktop can beat Windows just by sitting still while MS destroys its product.

> The root cause of this is blue states often get Euro public transport envy

The root cause is that blue state Americans are still toxically individualist and anti-social and can’t undertake collective projects for shit. Europeans are at least somewhat orderly—in part because in several countries the disorderly anti-social people left for America: https://www.ft.com/content/dd212e0f-508a-3171-824c-d6076ae19....

If you’re built like a linebacker, you should give up your dreams of becoming a world-class ballet dancer. Likewise, blue states should give up the delusion that they can build large scale public projects like Europeans and Asians.

Maybe it is just me, but when reddit pops up in my search results (and since I am using Kagi it ranks quite often to the top) the topics are mostly useless to help me solve an issue or extract information. The threads are often outdated, and littered with personal opinions up to outright opinions and personal anectada. Compared to Q/A sites like StackExchange, the quality of information - at least for me - is very poor. Which is fine, since reddit claims to be a social network, too.
I think one should attribute a good amount of credit of this to Yann LeCun (head of meta's research). From early stage he have been vocal about keeping things open-source, and voiced that to Mark before even joining. (and credit to Mark for keeping that).

It probably also stems from his experience working at Bell Labs, and how his pioneering work very much required a lot of help from things available openly, as is still the case in academia.

The man have been repeating the advantage of open-source being the better option, and been very vocal about his opposition to "regulate AI (read: let a handful of US government aligned closed-source companies have complete monopoly on AI under the guise of ethics)". On this point he (and meta) stands in a pretty stark contrast to a lot of big-tech AI mainstream voices.

Me myself recently moved some research tech stack to meta stuff, and unlike platform that basically stops being supported as soon as the main contributor finishes his PhD, it have been great to work on it (and they're usually open to feedback and fixes/PR).
Do people love the Framework laptop?

Or is it a sacrifice made for philosophical reasons, compared to say an M-series MacBook.
Right, but SF actually seems to be back-pedalling on them. They seem to work better in Phoenix, but similar areas (car-centric urban sprawl) are a fairly limited market.

Also- if I am wrong and robot taxis become super successful- would that affect sales of Teslas to private customers?

GM doing top tier tech is a joke. Also, they monetize your car data.
Streaming services are too pricey and the addition to an ad tier model has pushed me back into limited piracy. Whether it’s Netflix asking if I want to register this device or if I am traveling , to max streaming and ad for its own service I already pay before each show … old school Kodi loaded up is more and more appealing.

I fail to see how LLMs are a complement to Meta's products?
And they expect people to ‘upgrade’ (downgrade) from Win10 to Win11?

Win11 is clearly the new Win8. Still hoping it can be skipped entirely and that a more desirable Win12 will eventually be announced.
> It's not the early 2000s, Linux is fine.

It's not the early 2000s; and you still can't just walk into a store and test-drive and buy a laptop with linux on it.
Debian with kde or xfce
Twitter feels the same way, they are claiming to have more active users then ever but that probably includes the horde of LLM bots and MY PUSSY IN BIO spam.
Just so we're clear, this is using reverse psychology, right? They do want you to replace your comments with copyrighted text.

I assume the wording is because of legal ramifications. I wonder if such a defense works in court.

Personally, I think doing this is pointless. LLMs already use copyrighted works, so this isn't helping at all. The only way to tank Reddit is to add meaningless text which would make LLMs worse.
No one can resist that sweet internet ad money. If there exists large audience and some manager sees projection of ad revenue, it's too tempting. Think of it as an analogy to lobbying, except with ads it's obviously noticable and provable.

That’s why I disabled updates for all my win10 machines and will never upgrade to win 11 much less 12.

Of course we may never know for sure, but if you are European, they have to include all data about you in a GDPR data request. Also, I'm not sure if GDPR grants you the right to delete your posts for good?
> Our freedom is dependent on safeguarding our democracy, …

Yes, I agree.

> and that means no rules that don't trace their core to laws passed by elected representatives.

I think this is too strong of a claim. Why?

We live under many rules that don’t trace back to laws elected by elected representatives. Many of our laws descend from common law which predates representative democracy.

Not to mention that there are tremendous sources of power outside one’s governmental sphere that constrain our options, such as culture, corporations, and other governments. Whether one calls these “rules” or “constraints” is sort of beside the point when you focus on a society’s ability to respond to undesirable forces. This leads to how I would restate your claim…

Perhaps a more accurate statement would be this: freedom depends on mechanisms such that the people can drive policy.

Same here, it was the final straw that pushed me away from using Google services. But I would argue that Apple's behavior is equally egregious here for not enforcing the same permission usage guidelines they require the smaller devs to comply with.
Strong words, but you make a valid point about Microsoft having a grotesque understanding of consent.
You're just rewriting history to push a US-centric point of view. Zoe started selling in 2012, a bit after the model S. Despite a lacking charging infrastructure, it lead the EV segment in europe for years, including hybrids in 2016 and 2020. It is one of the most sold EV in Europe still (production ended recently), and the most sold in France.

I don't care what signal you want to send, i don't care if you were lied to or you are conscious you're doing it. Stop.

It's like the "We invented the first mouse" used by Apple stans to prop up their favorite brand against Microsoft: nice for the brand war argument (no one cares, really), but now most people actually believe that and it's almost a truth. If you are USian, well, maybe improving your country political discourse start with improving your own discourse on social media, and if you're not: why are you pushing a foreign country narrative?
I know that guile/scheme is uniquely well suited to this, but I'd be interested in hearing why you're using it instead of, say, writing a python library? Is it like a smalltalk thing with really good message-passing, are you getting some guarantees about serializability that are impossible in a more mainstream language? Do you just like it?
I know, right. The last thing I'd expect a self-proclaimed anti-capitalist to be defending is intellectual property, especially one of a corporation (NYT).

If Reddit keeps a copy of the data edits, this move also just serves to hamper open source models who can only train on scraped data, while those with enough money can buy the full dataset with history.

What I mean is, I agree and I think this plugin will do the opposite of what the authors expect.

Why is Reddit blocking my vpn?
Google is a major Java shop, and for big projects compatibility is certainly at the top of requirements because big codebases last for a long time, and compatibility directly translates to increased future returns on investment. I don't think .NET quite matches Java on the other aspects (certainly it tries to add lots of language features while Java tries to avoid adding many features, but having more or fewer features is a matter of personal preference) and its GCs aren't as good, but while these things are arguable (because Java and .NET have different advantages and disadvantages compared to each other), its compatibility story is poor, and not just in comparison to Java.
Why does Reddit block my VPN?

See the big difference between TV and music streaming. I can switch from Spotify to Apple Music without losing access to most of my songs, but Amazon can't show 'Netflix original' series.

I get that movie studio's don't want to 'flat rate' their premium content.
Online movie "purchases" seem to be better covered. You can buy/rent about the same movies from Apple, Amazon and some others but they cover a very small number of popular movies. Older movies like the Criterion collection needs yet another subscription which isn't even available in big parts of the world, especially in the EU there seems to be a copyright clusterf*ck of epic proportions where every member state has it's own rule, regulations and small time film licensing companies making it totally impossible to release niche content.
Combined with the demise of disc-based movies (I give it about 10 years before major movies are only streamable) I fully expect an increase in enthusiasts resorting to piracy. It really is a service problem...

Meta weaponizes open source to ensure no technological moats develop which increases the value of their moats:

- Data (Meta is one of two competitice companies when it comes to data volume)
- Compute (Meta is #1 here)
- Platform / eyeballs. (Meta is #1 here, Bytedance will be degraded)

It degrades talent moat and destroys proprietary technology moats.

Open source does PMF, R&D and de-risking for them while destroying any proprietary competitor - especially ones that don’t have the funding to fight the price dumping effect.

And make no mistake, in most industries this would be illegal dumping - if a furniture chain started giving away superior lumbering equipments to anyone cross financed with external money to deny sales to their competitors it would be handled with swiftly and decisively.

Sundar right now will be getting questions from their investors of why they spend 200M on Gemini if anyone with enough data and compute can achieve the same thing. Remember “We have no moat and neither has OpenAI?”. It took less than a year for that to play out go brutal effect. Llama3 450B will have google up at night.

It also allows meta to effectively not hire armies or product and engineering talent because they get that value for free. Llama.cpp alone is worth hundreds of millions in combined R&D at this point, catching up the llama architecture to its competitors.

Finally the result of AI is a commoditization of content creation - more content in an attention saturated ecosystem increases the competition for eyeballs - aka what companies have to pay to beat their competition on the marketplaces of attention.

And companies will be able to spend money on that because they can fire their creators (that’s what the Sora and Vasa class of models ultimately will do within a year) and save on compute - only to spend it on demand generation.

Analog to how Amazon managed to run by the spirit of open source to monetize open source software without giving back, Meta has shaped the passion and desire of people to build and share into a powerful weapon it wields with deadly precision against its competition, all while being able for benefit from the collateral effects on every level.

Mark is nothing but predictable here - he’s an aggressive, always at war General and “commoditize your complements” and “accelerate technology adoption to improve the business environment” are some of his key gambits (see emails on oculus adoption) and the road is littered with the burnt out husks of previous plays - such as the entire news business he commoditized for attention and reengagement.

Yes there is side effects that are good - the freeing of the technology from the yoke of Google and Altman Corp, but that does mean there’s any charitable intent here. Mark does not give a damn about the common good. He cares about winning. Always has.
Yes, but they are limited by the technology used to build the line, and by how the lines were traced, but not because their high-speed trains need to stop at every city center or run on "winding" tracks, as is the case in Germany.

The Paris-Lyon line is by far the oldest, and is top-speed limited because of how it was traced. (And also because of its out-dated security system that is in the process of being changed)

The Paris-Brest line stops being a high-speed track in Rennes, so even if the first part is fast, it's still a long way to Brest on conventional tracks.

The newer lines are faster, as they are designed for theoretical operational speeds of 350 km/h, with a current operational top speed of 320. (LGV Sud Europe Atlantique, LGV Rhin-Rhone, LGV Est, and even the LGV Bretagne Pays-de-Loire going to Brest)
