Would love to have a tutorial on how to install and run this locally with a nice model, for those of us who are behind the 8-ball with torch, transformers, diffusers, llama2 etc.
Have a think then about modern encryption and consensus on top of Usenet, which is the SMTP-compatible message queue of your dreams (in terms of available capacity)
Suggest checking out the sqlparse library for a way to do the different flavours without needing to address each case directly: https://github.com/andialbrecht/sqlparse
The worst part about this is that blind Reddit users are being left completely without a solution, and won't be able to read Reddit at all. Multiple attempts at engagement with Reddit itself have been ignored. See the discussion here: https://www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/144f6xm/apollo_w...
That's why the blackout needs to be permanent. If even 25% of the users have no clue what's happening and thinks Reddit is crapping out for a couple days they'll shrug their shoulders and use it 48 hours later when it's back up. I don't understand what they think they're protesting by timeboxing it .. Reddit can afford wait it out 48 hours and plan for that.
I guarantee people are going to get an error they can't view the subreddit without reading why they can't.
The mods only power in life is on Reddit. If they give that up they lose everything. Once in a while some crazy stats like 5 mods control 20% of the top 500 subreddits pop up, I’ve never tried to validate but there is definitely a small group with a lot of power among mods
Their entire purpose in life is being a Reddit mod, they’re the ones people expect to kill Reddit?
People always say that Reddit depends on these mods for free labor, which is true, but there's a reason that the mods do this free labor. They enjoy the power/responsibility/community/whatever they get from it.
Hah, yeah, I've made this same comment on Reddit flippantly on a bunch of subs. I'm not shocked it's a joke subreddit closing down permanently and not something like r/aww or something that would make a difference.
The trick is what does that even mean? If an app has great accessibility but is used by a lot of non-disabled people too, is it disqualified?
A quote from /r/Blind [0]:
> Apollo has without question been the most accessible social networking app I have ever used, or are even aware of. It allowed me to enjoy using Reddit, as well as become a moderator of multiple Disability focused subreddits like r/disability, r/epilepsy, r/EverybodyGames, and r/DisabilityPartyTime, among other communities.
> Apollo is and has always been a pleasure to use, and allowed me to leverage all manner of accessibility tools from UI Scaling, Magnification, VoiceOver, VoiceControl, Describe, and even just the app’s amazing searching, filters, and more that often don’t even exist in Desktop regardless of platform, and at any price. It is one of very few social networking apps that support iOS Braille Terminals.
I assume that means "we'll allow a clone of Apollo that claims to only help blind people, because it will get little traction with a different name and wink-wink advertising and the number of users who use it will be orders of magnitude less". The problem was never the API, but the lack of ad revenue.
People keep repeating that but I can't find any official announcements about it. I think it's fake PR lip service. Even the Verge article about it says nothing concrete and just speculates about apps that may qualify. The r/blind mod has no idea which apps reddit has claimed to contact.
Here's one source https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/7/23752804/reddit-exempt-acc... I thought I saw a post from an actual reddit employee about it, but I can't find it now. They said they need to stop treating accessibilty as an add-on and promote it to the same level as other features.
Didn't they say somewhere the API fees won't apply to accessibility focused apps today? Either way, reddit will be dead if they go through with this, so let's make sure the next big thing we pick has accessibility in mind out of the gate.
Screen readers. Reddit is mostly text and image content. Computer vision has gotten incredibly good at understanding images. Just take a look at models like GPT-4 and Segment Anything Model.
I am no expert, but the /r/blind people appear to disagree about whether this is adequate, they evidently think a screen reader for the web site or the Reddit app is much worse than the apps they are currently using.
I personally wonder if some heart attacks have been reclassified as cardiac arrests or other outcomes as our understanding of heart health has advanced?
It's just a thought, I don't have any data to support this. Not sure if anyone has any insight.
Seems unlikely, we’ve known the difference for a long time, and the diagnosis versus say cardiogenic shock is pretty straightforward.
The classifications are not mutually exclusive. You can have one without the other, or both together. Given that most cardiac arrests are caused by MCI I’d expect the rates of deaths due to cardiac arrest declining as well.
