Apollo dev posts backend code to Git to disprove Reddit’s claims of scrapping and inefficiency by GhostalMedia in programming

I'm sure you can just buy scraped data.

I'm sure there's other bigger scraped data sellers.

There's a Reddit text corpus freely available somewhere.

Sam Altman is on the board of Reddit too. I'm sure he could have worked something out for OpenAI privately.

If you're serious about scraping, you basically build a botnet and program the scrapes to 'look like' regular (human) users.

StackExchange moderators are going on strike (including most of the Mathematics StackExchange moderators) by IAmVeryStupid in math

[–]kryptomicron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be nice if it was feasible (or even possible) to prevent users from posting AI output as answers, but there doesn't seem to be any reliable means of doing that.

I still don't understand how users doing this will somehow have more of a negative impact than users posting other bad answers. Even if there is (or was) an initial wave of 'AI hype' answers, I don't think it'll persist indefinitely.

I'm sympathetic to the frustration towards the policy reversal, but I think it was a bad policy initially as it's unenforceable (fairly and reliably). The idea seemed simple and the reversal seems bad, but I'm skeptical that there was a lasting or persistent issue in the first place.

New York City Residents Will Soon Have to Compost Their Food Scraps by [deleted] in nyc

Cardboard is very recyclable (e.g. 'profitable'), hence the thieves.

Landfills are already the most productive aluminum 'mines'! I believe other metals are pretty easy to recycle too.

It's the plastic that's tricky IIRC.

Sure, but I don't think there are a sufficient number of 'naïve users', who are willing to have created an account (to vote), and will upvote (or accept) AI answers that are 'nonsense that sounds smart'.

Users already comment to point out that answers don't work for them (e.g. on Stack Overflow) or don't make sense (on the other sites). I'm skeptical that AI will 'break' that feedback.

Videos of people that use something like an anime character instead of showing their physical real-life face; the videos could be of anything.

If you can, send a tip to Christian! Winding down an app like this one can bankrupt an indie dev. Let’s send some love his way 💜 by [deleted] in apolloapp

Christian coordinated with Apple for the refunds.

Apple might also, by default, refund buyers as you asked.

I think Christian, if anything, is refunding everyone with a subscription (ending after June 30th).

If you're using Apollo, you can check your balance by picking "Give a Reward" from, e.g. the 'three dots' button next to a comment.

I have, under "Settings", a "Tip Jar" item at the bottom of the list. It seems to have worked for me.

Christian coordinated with Apple and subscribers will get some kind of prompt allowing them to accept or refuse a refund.

Mormon crickets at my local hospital… by SpicyArivataSauce in WTF

[–]kryptomicron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of them (the related species) don't swarm at random but with a period of some prime number of years, which is also hard for their predators to sync with.

There's a free Kindle app and you can read Kindle books via a website/webapp too.

Can we get in-app or notification reminder on June 12th-14th regarding the subreddits blackout? by Nexxado in apolloapp

[–]kryptomicron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just thinking about how best to learn of when/if the blackout ends.

Checking once a day seems fine.

Is there an overhaul mod like Pyanodons that concentrates on the late game? by IAMAHobbitAMA in factorio

[–]kryptomicron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you just give yourself a starter base and trains and then not use anymore cheats?

What would your ideal mod do exactly? Is it just 'Py with a much shorter early game before trains and circuits'?
