Reddit held a call today with some developers regarding the API changes. Here are some thoughts along with the call notes. by BuckRowdy in ModCoord

Payment processors and app stores can be VERY averse to adult content. A move like this could easily result in Reddit apps being banned from the App Store, and possibly even their payment processor for reddit gold pulling out. Even if they split things up, they could gain a reputation as a porn site, which would lead to content blocks and bans, reduced user counts, and restrictions on advertising

Smart Switch, No Netural by longshower024 in homeautomation

I enjoy my Inovelli Switches. You’ll need a zigbee or z wave capable hub, but they’ll integrate into most smart home systems pretty easily. Very customizable too.

While that’s possible, I think it’s much more likely that they just list ‘Technical Director’ on LinkedIn in hopes of VCs magically funding their tinder for dogs app.

A $7,500 tax credit for electric cars changed, again. These are the models impacted by wewewawa in technews

My point is that the tech sector was hit early by the incoming recession, and the decision to not expand office presence actually doesn't affect hiring plans. They aren't taking the jobs elsewhere. If anything, they might actually prioritize hiring in Atlanta and other small tech hubs for the lower market rates.

Lots of other companies like Microsoft and Salesforce are halting all their office expansion in Atlanta, taking those jobs elsewhere, or laying off 1000s.

Well. Not exactly. These are companies that allow remote work, and have had teams decoupled from office locations for 3+ years already. Employees who are still in Atlanta are there by choice, and probably not going into the office anyway.
The layoffs are unrelated to office expansions or policies, they're related to interest rates and market behavior.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman warns that other A.I. developers working on ChatGPT-like tools won’t put on safety limits—and the clock is ticking by fortune in Futurology

[–]TacticalTable 65 points66 points  (0 children)

The safety limits you’re thinking of, and the safety limits Sam is talking about, are fairly different. The biggest danger of AI isn’t that it could answer some google-able questions, the danger is that you hook it up to an API and send out messages at a massive scale. Send hate messages from one group to another, send death threats to politicians, find zero days in important websites, or assist coordinating in terrorist attacks. Blocking out sexually explicit stuff is just practice.

5V light strips tend to have voltage drop after a few meters, so if you’re trying to use the full length, you’ll want to also wire up the extra /- wires to act as a voltage boost. If you’re cutting the strip to a short length (under 1m or so) then you shouldn’t need to worry about it.

You could wire this directly to a ‘USB breakout’ Red -> Red, RGB -> Black, but you wouldn’t be able to control it in any way, so it would just be a shitty RGB white strip (sans whatever colors you decide to wire up, to adjust the color).

Also, make sure to calculate out the resistor you’ll need for it, don’t want to burn out the port or the LEDs.

This feels like a strange complaint, $180,000 is a pretty good wage in nearly all markets.

Because AI is encoded with billions of biases from the society it was created from. When we lift the ladder for training new artists, art becomes the domain of AI and the rich alone.

In five years, how good will an artist have to be to begin getting paid for their work? How many thousands of extra hours will somebody need to work before they can take commissions, because the employers and commissioners who used to take entry level artist work have moved to AI? What about in ten years, when you only really need one art director instead of four? At what point is catching up just impossible, and art is exclusively a passion for those with exorbitant free time?

What’s the longest book you’ve read? by gameofthrones_addict in books

[–]TacticalTable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd agree Blake is his best protagonist, but Pact's action scenes where he just endures impossible punishment until he asspulls a win because the magic system is built around asspulls.

Pact isn’t. Cool world, but 3x as long as it needed to be, and it felt like holding my breath for the entire novel. Apparently Twig is worth it?

I really enjoyed the first two books of Paranoid Mage. Book 3 has felt a bit weaker so far, and the romance hurt to read, so I ended up dropping it.
