What does "truth" even mean here? All of these things are about society, culture and the human experience. There's no universal truth to be found there.
The best I can do is apply the categorical imperative influenced by my cultural context, upbringing and personal experiences.
The problem I have here with your statement, is you have no idea what your definition even entails energy/entropy wise. Just defining the axioms here will take much more time and energy than we have until the sun blows up.
Then the combinatorial explosions of ought conditions to step your simulation forward means you'll need Grahams number of time/entropy.
useCallback makes sure that you don't recreate a function you need in a component at every re-render but only when its dependencies change. It returns a function.
useMemo returns a value which is the result of calling the function it is given once the dependencies change.
So useCallback is basically useMemo called with a function that returns a function.
I love cacio e pepe.
It's such an amazing dish for how simple it is.
One thing that can be tricky is keeping the emulsion smooth and not suddenly have the cheese turn chunky.
What I've found very useful there is to put aside some of the pasta cooking water and then blend it up with the cheese on the side using an immersion blender.
When you reach a good level of creaminess, you pour it back into the pot with the now drained pasta and use the residual heat of the pot and pasta to slightly reduce it down to the perfect level while constantly stirring.
This should make the whole process a lot more reliable while not changing the flavor by adding more complex ingredients.
As much as I'd love to have the Transrapid, I think for this specific case the ~100 minutes are already pretty much making Hamburg - Berlin flights obsolete, especially with the airports not being super central. You'd need around 40 minutes just to get to Berlin HBF from BER.
I don't even think there are any direct flights between Hamburg and Berlin since it's really not worth it.
It has had effects on other projects; it would make more sense to build high speed in the Fehmarn Belt tunnel and you could be in Copenhagen and Sweden in two to three hours. Would be nice for us Swedes at least. My point is that everything over an hour is quite a long time.
Moderation is also essential to keep communities on topic and enforce a baseline quality level. It doesn't matter for a generic "funny" kind of community, but something like /r/AskHistorians doesn't work without someone ensuring that the guidelines are met.
Of course those can also be grounds for disagreement, and I'd be lying if I'd say that I have never been frustrated with a mod when I posted something that was removed even though it clearly didn't break the rules, but I think that kind of false positive is sort of the price you have to pay to keep a community on track.
I'd rather have that than have everything devolve to low quality and effort Threads.
I think the same logic can apply to your scenario. If it is off topic it gets downvoted by the community and disappears to hidden. The relevant data gets voted up to the top as again decided by the community.
This would inevitably reward first commenters, but that is the situation anyway with current thread voting. I think later commenters as long as not downvoted past a threshold would stay visible with an even(ish) vote count to give those comments the visibility to rise.
What about comments that people disagree with that are still on topic but controversial? Well, we are running out of directions so they should get a side vote. Downvotes to explicitly send to hidden as not relevant (spam, off topic, etc), upvotes for agreeable comments base on popularity, side votes for relevant but disagreeable.
Things that are off-topic and illegal aren't the only ones that get downvoted, though. HN is unusual in the sense that it's discouraged to downvote things you dislike; that's the effective status quo in most other communities. In your proposed system, you'll have some people side-voting those comments, and you're going to have others downvoting them.
it’s not discouraged. people flag and downvote things they don’t like as well. the difference is that newcomers don’t have the ability to until they get a certain level of Karma.
The thing is thought that through discovery and feeds it happens often that a much larger amount of folks than the ones belonging to the core community flood in. Downvotes alone won't work because nobody knows how things are supposed to work.
If you have a costume party with 100 people and 10 arrive without costume, they are the outsiders that have to adapt. If 1000 people join your party you're the weird minority and your costume party will be over.
They would be perfectly monetizable if they wanted to. I'd happily pay for a Reddit premium subscription if I can keep using Apollo, because I use it for the better UX, not to skip ads. But clearly they would rather kill third party apps than take their money.
> I'd happily pay for a Reddit premium subscription if I can keep using Apollo
This is what I don't get. Isn't this the obvious compromise to make all parties happy? Third Party apps can only be used by Premium members. Moderation tools are explicitly exempted until their functionality is rolled into first-party tools. Reddit adds new tools to block scrapers and institutes API rate limits for things they recognize as LLMs/negative bots and instead offer an "enterprise" tier for those that is much more expensive. Something along those lines would likely meet the needs of everyone and wouldn't piss anyone off. Reddit users continue our doom scrolling on Relay and Apollo, Reddit monetizes previously-unmonetizable users.
I wouldn't call the user experience "perfectly fine" though. It's about as "perfectly fine" for exploring the content on a phone as pasta with ketchup is perfectly fine for eating. You won't starve but you also aren't really having a good time.
HN is fine on desktop but I don't really enjoy it on mobile much. Tiny tap targets, font sizes and spacing seem a bit "off", etc, and so I use a third party client.
Have similar feelings about old reddit on mobile.
What it comes down to is that yeah they're better than new reddit, but that's not much of a bar to clear and if I'm going to be spending extended periods of time using a site/service the experience needs to be good not just passable.
There are some good HN mobile clients. On iOS I use (and purchased) Octal [0]. I find this particular mobile experience far superior to the HN website.
A lot of people with family in Russia will be able to tell you that their Russian side of the family supports Putin so much that they will not even believe their Ukrainian family members when they're telling them that they are getting bombed. I've seen it in my own extended family, heard it from others and there's also an article about it from the BBC: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-60600487
We should really not underestimate how much support there is for Putin in Russia.
Implying what? That the BBC is explicitly tagging their own articles as disinformation because they're just that inept at propaganda? Or could it be that they have a unit fighting disinformation? https://reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/people/rebecca-sk...
