The US Dept of Defense is the largest [US government agency](https://www.defense.gov/About/) and recently [requested $842 billion for FY24](https://www.defense.gov/News/Releases/Release/Article/3326875/department-of-defense-releases-the-presidents-fiscal-year-2024-defense-budget/). Beyond the traditional role intended for [warfare](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military), I'm curious about the influence of militaries of democratic countries have domestically. For example, [US the Department of Defense helped with the creation of the internet through the ARPANET project.](https://clintonwhitehouse4.archives.gov/WH/EOP/OVP/24hours/internet.html#:%7E:text=The%20ARPANET%2C%20the%20precursor%20of,function%20after%20a%20nuclear%20attack.)
That obviously drove tremendous economic and technological development that we see today. Currently the "internet industry" which includes Google and local internet businesses make up a[ net worth of 2.1 trillion USD](https://intheblack.cpaaustralia.com.au/economy/how-much-is-the-internet-worth#:~:text=What%20we%20call%20the%20%E2%80%9Cinternet,US%2420.5%20trillion%20yearly%20GDP.).

In the United States, [Supreme Court](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supreme_Court_of_the_United_States) justices have life tenure. Alexander Hamilton explains in [Federalist #78](https://www.founderoftheday.com/founder-of-the-day/federalist-78) that the reasoning for this provision was so the justices' objectivity would be preserved by not having to stand for reelection/reappointment.
The first five justices [served an average of 8.5 years,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_Supreme_Court_justices_by_time_in_office) because [longevity at the time wasn't as great as today.](https://www.statista.com/statistics/1040079/life-expectancy-united-states-all-time/)
The [average age of the most recent five justices when they were appointed](http://threestory.com/scotus/scotus_all.html) was 50.8 years and the [average life expectancy](https://www.ssa.gov/cgi-bin/longevity.cgi) today of a person that age is an additional 33 years. So, the effective tenure of a Supreme Court justice today is nearly four times the term of the original justices. The oldest justice on the court today, Clarence Thomas, is 74. He has served for 32 years and his life expectancy is another 12 years, meaning he could be expected to serve for a total of 44 years, which is more than five times the average tenure of the original justices.
Current trust in the court [is at historic lows](https://news.gallup.com/poll/402044/supreme-court-trust-job-approval-historical-lows.aspx) and most Americans [want to end lifetime appointments.](https://www.reuters.com/business/legal/most-americans-want-end-lifetime-supreme-court-appointments-2021-04-18/)
Hamilton's original concern could be resolved by [proposals](https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/5140) to limit justices to a single, longer term. However, some experts argue that imposing term limits would ["make the institution appear more, not less, political"](https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/10/18/supreme-court-term-limits-wouldnt-solve-anything/) and [compromise the court's objectivity:](https://www.usnews.com/opinion/should-the-supreme-court-have-term-limits/term-limits-could-hurt-supreme-court)
> Presidents, knowing that their appointees will be on the high court for a relatively short time, might well search out the most extremist judges who can further their short-term aspirations or uphold favorable policies. Given the political polarization of the Senate, that will make the confirmation process even more divisive rather than less so. [...]
> Even worse, justices who know that they will likely need another job after they retire from the Supreme Court may well tailor their rulings to curry favor from potential employers. [...] If the court seems to be polarized and political now, imagine if some justices plan to work for the conservative Heritage Foundation when their time on the high court is up and others plan to work for the Brookings Institution or the left-leaning Center for American Progress.
Questions:
* What are the pros and cons of lifetime appointments to the Supreme Court?
* Which proposals, if any, best address the perceived problems with the court? | r/neutralpolitics | post | r/NeutralPolitics | 2023-05-15 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LakwwU2hlMXNhc2xnQmdTQ1U1VURZUEkxRkpGdjFUd1J0X0V3U3pkQjhfMEVSY2ttOGZLUnRwMjdoSTRGQldGenZVVnFseFBkeTRpSGJ0aGxNWDZxRXJEN2c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9FQW1VdEI4LWxSRnBPcUZyWmZDLTBxVWZPN0t5czJOWmRwQ0xNbHZkRnAtX21CclV4ZE9TUGZpNmlwVG1XYndWalloWWZMNkhVZzY3b1cydUZ5WDVtWG1ZekdOXzRheEZHZDllRVgwYXN4Yk5vSjY2MzJkaTBrMFJrZzVzdWJaYm1scktzRlh1bXZGdzNFWWFERzNrSVdfdy05Q2FFeUdIWlpRaXFjQXFuTUNPbThNZzZBME1PWGI5RVFIQ2ZOa01uUTZyMDA3RDBqT3YxWGx2SFpRdnNFUT09 |
I'm about to finish my econ Msc and haven't read a lot of papers yet, so I would like to ask you about your experience.
What kind of research do you do and what programming languages do you usually see used in the papers you read (in the replication materials). Have you noticed any shifts in the recent years?
Before starting my BSc I learned a few programming languages, but I prefer to write in python most of the time. However, most of the papers I read used stata, Matlab, and R for econometrics, and mainly Matlab and Fortran for macro. I hear that Julia is also an up-and-comer. What do you see getting more traction in your field in the next 5 years?
I'm am not asking for "what language should I learn". I can start writing in a new language tomorrow. The issue is that when I start my PhD I expect to create many tools/libraries along the way and I don't want my code to be considered legacy by the time I get my degree. I also know that some languages are better than other's for some things, but I'm am focusing on my "main" one.
Sorry if this isn't a post about econ papers, but it's ecocpapers-adjacent and I don't know of any other place with this specific experience, that specializes in programming. | r/econpapers | post | r/EconPapers | 2023-05-16 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LakwwUGNXUzlyd1pyVU1RNjRKZzMtbGMwUHZLZGpjSnRpZWxrQUdHdWNLRmZhQlFwTjgyNjItRnF5dTIwcElvLUdpTXc4LXNLdmJmWFp6YnNubXV2czhaWWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9Fd2hJMHFiZ3VmNXQyVGVrZHBnLWVVNnBrTjhLZzJYNEx2ZUNIVFhUV05MdE04Z2lyQVNWdmE4NEV3cHEwZmpyUlFxekNyLUxsdGNwMHJQT2xmWW9nemhOVUhrMjFfdGgyaEs4Rnp1VzE1M3lERVEzeHUzb1dvQ3BoM1FuQTlxc0FDbHF2MnRFZW5VYWl0eHhHSk9HUFVCOUhacmJpWkRMSE9rRWNPbHE5bjBPbnhHVGJzVUZaXzZ6UjRGZHQzNU1i |
Because if network effects (you have to use the same language as your co-authors) things change very slowly. In 10 years things are only going to look slightly different compared to now. For example, Julia has been an "up and comer" for many years. For micro, if you know Stata, R, Python, and you'll be fine. Better than fine. For macro, it's more heterogenous. Though I will say Fortran is relatively rarer. Knowing how to code generally is the most important, then you pick the lang you need for a task (probably just whatever your co-authors are using).
The other point is that you probably won't build a lot of "tools/libraries" (unless you're building macro or IO models, but even then..). Code tends to be project specific. My advice is to worry way, way more about research topics, methods, reading papers, etc. If you are a good coder, you can adapt easily. | r/econpapers | comment | r/EconPapers | 2023-05-16 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lakwwb0tuYTdMVFNBRzdFR0EyQXlUQ0JaY1VuREd3aFVmNkdCMHNEb0R1MmhRQzg0cjl0UUVqZXZ3Q243Zkx0b3BvYVdHLXdIcWp0OGFBWEhsYXFnNUE0UlRJdk9lQWpUNlV0b2EydDUwaExhcHc9 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9FX2pNS3lqWkZlRmZxSW9XLVVjQ0xlNWw1S1BpR25MSEdqZnBCSDRPVkZXM2FjaFVaZ2wzMDdKTXFPUHFIam1XVlNYdWI5T3lFbFN6S2VPd1NxSkZJNXZlN3lfRXl2ekRNOTVGZUhaTVBRSXY3UWthVk5rbU1vRXhKMklaZEs4Nkx5cnc1THVPZGlkQ19Yb21Na2VIdEN5SDE0NkQzbWhMWExDQWtudGVOQmwwbDhOU2NKWVhldm1nSmhVeGNLOERXd2s2NlQzb2o1VVBJVlBiNVU2TThmQT09 |

IMO you need to be familiar with matlab and (r or stata). Most macro papers are done in matlab, and even though julia can do more than matlab, it is used more rarely, and the fact that their syntax is very similar is helpful for transitioning from one to the other. Python is rarely used in my experience, but can be used for almost anything. I think that R is gaining relative to stata, but especially in the age of chat Gpt, translating from one to the other is pretty easy | r/econpapers | comment | r/EconPapers | 2023-05-16 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LakwwdVpkcTlfWUVaN2poVzFVd3VJb3FDb0FwTURLdnYxVEhqRzdYRm9aR2NVU1BKbWhiVldBRlhCZGtCT3VXbzQtSERRRnpockFWbDZtX0lxQ3AwWkxXbFdBVmNSRS1icS14aS1sSXlWZlRycDQ9 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9Fd0tqb2dUWk1UYjU5NnZOQTBHSWQ4REEyNWRidFUzVjdqOHZUUE9rWm1HTlZGMkp2S2kwcGhMR3d5ZUY0eGxSbU50Y256WGFBUi1mRE9OeFpQRDQ1bk83cEV3b01MYjVXU0xhanc1SU9jRmdPME8weUlwU2pvY0ZFM1ZTZ2l4dXYtVHZBTUJaMVVrM0tqUUwxQ3czTXJkMXA2Rlg5ZTB6bTZ2SVNpTXpCV3l6djdLWXI4WEVJZjFtNnh3bWNwbkNvQnAtVWNVXzF5TGdJallaV29qWWE3Zz09 |
That's not too optimistic at all, and in fact ideal, though I wouldn't worry about making them full blown installable python packages. A lot of the more sophisticated (or younger) researchers will have a git repo for each project or set of related projects. Gentzkow and Shapiro have a "handbook" of sorts you can probably find through Google that talks about good coding practices.
My point about how you don't need to worry about building up tools and libraries is that if you do Project A in Python, and Project B is not going to use any of the code from Project A, then you can write Project B in whatever language you want and it doesn't matter. Or if there's a little bit of overlap, you can port the code. So if you choose a language today, you're not going to be locked in forever. There will be little if any switching costs.
Very rarely (and never this early in your career) should you be spending any time or effort trying to turn your research code into some big Code Base like a startup. 95% of the time, once you finish a project, you'll never look at that code again. The remaining 5% is just borrowing data cleaning when you're going to use the same data source. | r/econpapers | comment | r/EconPapers | 2023-05-16 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LakwwV1hLWUh5Z0Mza1FWSkJ5SF92S2dNbmw0bzdQN2dZT1N0Sk50amRLSWwwaFlJUDZfMkVod0pMRV9hdjdCNXAxUmFpUWs5TndxSUF6SmZxdFN2ZzFpanB1VHZDdndCYTZlQUtvc3dwcE9lbDA9 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9FYTNzbzN6a05IUjVkc3FTdGYzR19KZ3c1WE04b0VkaFJVaXRWUmVHYzN2Y0ZRMnVQTWd4OGR6TXVKQ21VcENzRFFVMG9mMWVjRW5WQWNjLTNFRGN2cVh3TnQxUHdZZkctYjYzUnpVMWdLdGZhOTVCd1BQT21KM0dqbVhaRFZnTW5oRkkyWDhBSnBsMEFYdnJaOXZ0QTFyWFFYbnREVXRPQnRZVUN6NjB5N0FTQjdGX3dtRHNTeXRFMmpaUVhuM3NJc2NBbDdudVJKZ3dTRnV2eEdITHh4Zz09 |
Recently I replicated some methods on causal effects using propensity scores. I spend a little extra time to make sure that the code is as generic as possible in the since that I can apply that method to a different dataset, for a different paper, without editing any of the code (excluding the cleanup.) I don't have enough experience to know how often I will be able to do things in such a way.
Packaging python libraries isn't that hard btw. With github actions and a little cleanup its fairly straight forward.

Reading through the [Durham report](https://www.justice.gov/storage/durhamreport.pdf), on page 288 he notes "failures" made by the FBI during the opening and throughout the [Crossfire Hurricane](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossfire_Hurricane_(FBI_investigation)) investigation.
>"As the more complete record now shows, there are specific areas of Crossfire Hurricane activity in which the FBI badly underperformed and failed, not only in its duties to the public, but also in preventing the severe reputational harm that has befallen the FBI as a consequence of Crossfire Hurricane."
What "failures" did Durham uncover?
Also, as the source for a variety of claims that would be found in the Steele Dossier, what do we know about Igor Danchenko's motivation?

In transitional justice, [reparations](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reparations_\(transitional_justice\)) are measures taken by the state to redress gross and systematic violations of human rights law or humanitarian law through the administration of some form of compensation or restitution to the victims.
Recently, there's been renewed discussion of [paying reparations to the descendants of Black slaves in the United States.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reparations_for_slavery_in_the_United_States) Earlier this month, a California task force approved recommendations that would [apologize and pay reparations to Black residents for the discrimination they have faced.](https://apnews.com/article/california-reparations-task-force-apology-de0b43dd237c47113554a9aae56ca9f5) If passed by the legislature and signed by the governor, some economists have projected the state could owe upwards of $800 billion, or more than 2.5 times its annual budget.
There is some history to support reparations. Japanese Americans who were imprisoned in World War II later [won an apology and compensation from the Federal government](https://apnews.com/article/japanese-americans-fight-for-black-reparations-1d50cce12fc50c76f2693a158cc08036) and some of them now support reparations for Black Americans. Between 1946 and 1978, the [Indian Claims Commission](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Claims_Commission) paid $818 million to Native American tribes to address their grievances against the United States. In 2006, a collection of groups in Canada [agreed to a $2 billion settlement package](https://www.ictj.org/where-we-work/canada) for the estimated 80,000 survivors of the Indian Residential Schools program.
* What are the pros and cons of a government paying reparations to groups that have faced historical discrimination, oppression, and/or victimization?
* Have previous efforts at reparations had the desired effect of redressing grievances and improving the lives of groups who were historically wronged?
* In cases of mixed families, lost records, and Black Americans whose families emigrated to the US long after slavery, how do we determine eligibility for reparations due to slavery?
* What alternatives to reparations have been explored and how did those turn out? | r/neutralpolitics | post | r/NeutralPolitics | 2023-05-23 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LakwwcjBxdmNvN3dxRjdYVF9ZckdsOHFLcTZGSHFjZzZ5LWEzd1VHMmV2YTZPTDJZUGtVNTF3b2NIaWJSQkZTeG9la3ZMdHNURnNNY2xWZk5IaWxPNkNkMmc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9Fa0h2dDl6enJDWGV2QUxDSEthd1VfTDl1bWpIbWRfcDZYZDRyTWFHMEk2T3ZPUGhDQTkzNkdNaWdtanRIMVFPYWhjVTdpVnFOM0p6NXZ3V052X3B3V1hnRGEwVGI2amNsYzhqd19HN282VFNpWWl4dnYzampLQ09ncXFld1loMnZLaVd3aUszai1uNEUxb01VclV1Z21VLXBlbHoxcjRHQTNtaGtHQmNKQWlza0hHajdIOWx2LUdDZUxURmp0ektZNFZTT2NzLXNaVHlFWVAza2VZNDlrZz09 |

Predicting the programming language landscape in the next 5 years is nigh impossible as things evolve very fast and may get even faster. With the development of algorithms-who-code (based on LLM) we may get accelerating feedback loop effects. Ecosystems that have a lot of public code on which to train LLM's may benefit more from that dynamic and will become even more entrenched.
Having said that, there are few factors that may be resilient drivers:
* It will *probably* be the case that open source platforms (like Python, Julia, R) will be even more dominant but the allocation of mind share between them is unclear. Python is the current darling and is likely to coast on that popularity for a while. The driving domain is obviously Machine Learning and Deep Learning but it is close enough for related fields to piggy-bag. But currently there are not an awful lot of economics related projects in Python.
* The tension between the end of Moore's law and the need to process ever larger datasets will put a premium on performant platforms that can easily leverage heterogeneous GPU / multi-core CPU hardware. With sufficient effort any language can be used in a performant way (e.g. using lower-level libraries) but the researcher's time is typically best spend on science not HPC. Pure Python is notoriously slow but its popularity creates enormous demand for performant re-implementations. There are new initiatives developing all the time, for example the Mojo project that aims to provide a performant superset of Python. Languages with more native concurrency (Go, Elixir) may become more important (but may still lack domain-specific libraries)
* For empirical work sourcing data is important and (depending on the domain) may require significant pre-processing work. Famously 80% of data "science" is data cleaning. One could always use a toolkit approach (multiple languages), but as a general purpose language Python offers an advantage here.
All-in-all you need to continuously monitor the landscape. | r/econpapers | comment | r/EconPapers | 2023-05-25 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lakwwem9PSmg0VGdDWGVNS0hTNDluZjJad3pmVVZmaVZhQmFZQkNPS3hqX1ZZUE02VjFQb1VKOGtPejZrY0g3LXdNU2QxNnZrNHg4M1h6Vmt6SjREeUhsNVE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9FX2o3RHNkeXd2SmJkcGxOajFvekNlNnd6dDlwYlEtSEhwSVNPbktmZXE0eXVPSEZZNlFFRDlka056TF9waTZoWkV2UVlaTDQ5bFpmOUxNT3FSZUtGVlZibFJIZGs5REdLcUFzd2V4dE55VUZEa3QyNjZFdkY5LUQtQklqXzVoR090RUVQRkRKOUNOMUtySWJkMktueVhYM3Zrb01OLXVEc2c4cnJCNW9WTjgwUEJHM21MTlp5eUhMcXR4dE5uZVNNSHNEYXBiVGstUHdtNHlvTjdWRmVxQT09 |

I have a few friends who are computer science graduates; some in their phd some in the industry and they gave me a similar answer. This was also my way of thinking about it, as I have a couple of years of experience in sys-admin and devops. However, when I asked economists from my uni I got a different kind of argument. Network effects in academia hold back the adoption of new programming languages as you are kind of forced to work with what your advisor / co-author works with, unless what you are doing does not need to be in the same language necessarily.
As an RA I had to work in stata when working on things that I would have to share with the rest of team. When replicating papers I had to use the provided codes to save time. In the end, when I was pressed for time, I started using python because I wanted to automate everything, down to the pdf reports. | r/econpapers | comment | r/EconPapers | 2023-05-28 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LakwwWDBGWDg0MEtBd0xwSUhtTk1ZT0Ffck0xTk9rdUtrX2didW1OYnhYV3hlX0ZhdnVvcF9fUlJ1T2VVYnlOT2IzSlFxQ3VpOWhTMFJhNG5xbmlwc2QxYWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9FVVI2V0lsR2lZS3Zab1RMM1ZOdUJxc21xXzdKaHUxV3NkSUZFLTN4UmRoWlRKdEs3eDdiWEFJV1FBcjVXNktIamRoX3p3Z2QzbzhIbjBDTE1GZUFYWG82WllQek41Tm5KeE41eEFtWVVFR1VtUGxxa3ZCeVFKdkRacWRWWUNFbWNQSEtMQjQ1MlctX21rUkhqaVJfbV9sTWw3VHJDdUUxRkZIM1dPR0tNSjluR1FtTWFDdHA1ci1OTS1JR2ZMMXhOVVFKUzJNMHdhaV9VejBCX0RKYlkxQT09 |

There are currently 7 candidates who have announced running for the Republican nomination. These candidates state their policy goals on their official campaign websites:
Trump: [https://www.donaldjtrump.com/issues](https://www.donaldjtrump.com/issues)
DeSantis: [https://rondesantis.com/](https://rondesantis.com/)
Elder: [https://www.larryelder.com/](https://www.larryelder.com/)
Asa: [https://www.asa2024.com/solutions](https://www.asa2024.com/solutions)
Vivek: [https://www.vivek2024.com/america-first-2-0/](https://www.vivek2024.com/america-first-2-0/)
Haley: [https://nikkihaley.com/](https://nikkihaley.com/)
Scott: [https://votetimscott.com/](https://votetimscott.com/)
Pence (likely to join): [https://advancingamericanfreedom.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Freedom-Agenda-English.pdf](https://advancingamericanfreedom.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Freedom-Agenda-English.pdf) (policy list from 501(c)(4) organization Pence started)
Policy Page Summary:
\-2 candidates did not have a policy page (DeSantis, Haley)
\-2 candidates have generic policy pages (Asa, Elder)
\-2 (3) candidates have more extensive policy pages at the time of writing this (Trump, Vivek, (Pence))
\-1 candidate has chosen to rely on videos so far (Scott)
Questions:
Is there evidence about what benefits (if any) a candidate derives from having a very extensive policy proposal (Trump, Vivek, Pence) compared with keeping it very generic (Asa, Elder)? Two candidates (DeSantis, Haley) don't even have a page discussing their proposed policies, and Haley has been in the running for quite a while now. Historically, what reasons are there to not even have a policy page? Is there evidence that any of these choices have been more effective for past candidates? | r/neutralpolitics | post | r/NeutralPolitics | 2023-05-29 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LakwwQUZaTWJZMU9FNmpWcGdHZ3pfSDFEY3NHY1piWGN4akxNbVRPeml2aE8yWWNVV3RKb1lUS1dOMnpUWE9IdFVIOXZYV085eVpmeTJiZlVBbU5qU0liSHc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9FRFJvamFUa1JfUlZ0VEdkUXNQVTZwZHFWbWRiUWFRbVRsbjd4c1MzRzg0QjN2elVFMzhpaUtjellsajlqQzMwVEU4TVFYX3ZJQWpQdXRvd3M1LUVJeU16YkpNQ3hNVXlzQ2xvaGVTaGFfbE9uWU85SHg2NVRGRnlqZ1dyZ290ejBOQlJySk1fXzdGSG9jbGpLV09aWnc1VnY4ZzJGRWRWLWZCUEE5WDFDVDFwSmN3SnhGckpYRFBqcjhnekxfZzdXd0taYmt3am1KbV9peS1ldlotanV0Zz09 |

All media lies, first and foremost.
"During live coverage of the 2016 elections, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo said that downloading the hacked and stolen Podesta emails from the WikiLeaks website was a violation of law and that only the media could legally do so. The statement was proven to be false. "
"CNN has often been the subject of allegations of party bias. The New York Times has described its development of a partisan lean during the tenure of Jeff Zucker.[1] In research conducted by the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard University and the Project for Excellence in Journalism, the authors found disparate treatment by CNN of Republican and Democratic candidates during the earliest five months of the presidential primaries in 2007: "The CNN programming studied tended to cast a negative light on Republican candidates—by a margin of three-to-one. Four-in-ten stories (41%) were clearly negative"
As far as green screening, they didn't at the White House, as well as in Warzones but the most widely known is the boat incident because the reporter *pretended* to be having problems balancing in a moving boat, but it was done so poorly that it's clear she is on a foreground and the boat is a background green or blue screen. | r/fakenews | comment | r/fakenews | 2023-05-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LakwwWDFnVHdjUjhOdmZ2QjJfWENHRFM2U1lmYUs3SXZfV1pOSUZBV0NJVWR2b1V3ZFNNdVoyNkVhdTg0ZjhfVnBJc0twMjNrQUl1aFVlUFZMQ0UtZnF4Y1E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9FWmt3VHlGa2V0cDhzdHdlZXcwazVhUlBrMmVqWDhKSGM3UFZCTTlhelp4YkcwX3ctS21nc2xhdW9jZGQtSDlXdVVMZjdmU29XMktoTXRSQklDeXhZTjJzOUk5MXIwdWdBbU9wRERFdXFkQTR0Y2pJSnZ2eU05b1VKVHEteFVjZkNxMElGd3I5dmNmeHJwdEUyWFk0dXZqMDRuRGtGTEt1UFppVDhXSjJ0SktuZmMzV0xqV0lab0pCRDNpSGRsbjJEN3F1M3Z3cHVlMndLOXZ6anVNeUlrUT09 |
[A recent poll](https://harris.uchicago.edu/files/uchicago_harris_norc_poll_on_russia.pdf) (PDF) shows that 50% of Americans support the continued provision of weapons to Ukraine, while 23% oppose it. This support represents a slight increase from the 48% back in January, but a notable decline from the 60% of a year ago. Even for those who do support continued military aid, some feel that [the US is providing too much.](https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/01/31/as-russian-invasion-nears-one-year-mark-partisans-grow-further-apart-on-u-s-support-for-ukraine/)
Since the [Russian invasion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine) of February 2022, [lawmakers have approved the disbursement of $48.9 billion in military aid to Ukraine.](https://www.defenseone.com/threats/2023/05/us-aid-ukraine-track-run-out-september/386417/) That works out to $3.26 billion per month or $39.12 billion per year.
The total expenditures of the [US government for fiscal year 2022](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_United_States_federal_budget) were $6.272 trillion, so the country is spending about 0.6% of its budget to help Ukraine defend itself. As a means of comparison, [the US spent an estimated $2.261 trillion on its 20-year war in Afghanistan,](https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2021/08/20/afghanistan-war-key-numbers/) which works out to $113 billion per year, or roughly triple its rate of spending in Ukraine (not counting, of course, the incalculable value of the troops lost).
Of the roughly 40 countries that have sent military aid to Ukraine since the invasion, the [US share is about 70%,](https://www.statista.com/chart/27278/military-aid-to-ukraine-by-country/) but as a percentage of GDP, US contributions [fall somewhere in the middle of the pack.](https://www.statista.com/statistics/1303450/bilateral-aid-to-ukraine-in-a-percent-of-donor-gdp/)
Some lawmakers believe this conflict is not be the responsibility of US taxpayers and that the money would be better spent elsewhere. They have [introduced legislation to cut off all aid to Ukraine.](https://www.newsweek.com/full-list-republicans-backing-matt-gaetz-resolution-end-ukraine-aid-1780233)
Since we're over a year into this conflict and [the US is preparing to announce another package of aid](https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/us-announce-more-military-aid-ukraine-mainly-ammunition-sources-2023-05-25/) soon, it's worth asking some questions:
* How does the US determine what is enough or too much military aid to Ukraine?
* What are Ukraine's final goals worth to the US?
* Aside from supporting Ukraine's goals, what other advantages, if any, does the US get out of providing this aid and what's the value of those advantages? | r/neutralpolitics | post | r/NeutralPolitics | 2023-05-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LakwwWDg5VnhzTGZNMWtCdmVUOWxENzlTMFBwWlVhcXJyMW9WOGVBNkpCdG9vR2hiRWFkNkpmZm8yTUJrdnllcnlOVjhmRUVZaDNmX2V3bXBrd21GVmNJV1E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9FWG93dy1hNjNWN3BqeDJsbHM0ak1lQnp1WmVObldUbkRtUFVhOW1fT0NYSDAxajNaVHJPc0w2TEw5Z2pvVWpBSGV1UEVKeTFrX29ZWkhfaWFaUC1zNFRpT29RdVRfMlZtT1FDbFNlVTBzWjU5dXlHUjBJeEZPODNSSG5Rd3AyN0ttck1PbDdIUmF0SllibVdHMjNNZ1ZDOTJ6aVF0SUYyemxZVjU4eGdaVGJTREJDZGVYa05TS3JqaXNFU1c5dGZHdF9yTFdmLVh6c2NqYl9NS0R4TmtQQT09 |

Last year, during Brazil's elections, the Superior Electoral Court forbade people from associating Lula with Maduro and Ortega, then after he won, he not only invited Maduro, but gave him a welcoming visit, proving even more that they were always friends.

The mods acknowledge that this is not exactly a political question per [Rule A.](https://www.reddit.com/r/NeutralPolitics/wiki/guidelines#wiki_rule_a.3A_ask_a_specific_political_question.) There have been a couple times in the past when we've attempted to leverage this subreddit's combination of strict rules, established culture, and moderation style to host productive discussions about Reddit-specific incidents. In light of the current conflict around API access costs and third-party apps on Reddit, this is another one of those times.
-----
**Background and description**
Third-party software that interfaces with Reddit relies on the company's "application programming interface" (API) to communicate with the site. Back in April, Reddit [said it would begin charging for access to its API,](https://techcrunch.com/2023/04/18/reddit-will-begin-charging-for-access-to-its-api/) and on May 31st, the company [announced to developers](https://www.reddit.com/r/redditdev/comments/13wsiks/api_update_enterprise_level_tier_for_large_scale/) that it would be adding an Enterprise-level tier for API access, though it did not publish the pricing.
That same day, Christian Selig, developer of the popular Apollo app, [said Reddit is proposing to charge $12,000 for 50 million requests, which he estimates would cost him $20 million a year,](https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/05/reddits-api-pricing-results-in-shocking-20-million-a-year-bill-for-apollo/) an amount that could easily [cause him and others to shut down their apps.](https://www.forbes.com/sites/barrycollins/2023/06/01/death-by-api-reddit-joins-twitter-in-pricing-out-apps/)
For comparison, Selig cites the photo site Imgur as a more reasonable pricing scheme, "I pay Imgur (a site similar to Reddit in user base and media) $166 for the same 50 million API calls." Twitter recently [announced a three-tier API pricing scheme.](https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/30/23662832/twitter-api-tiers-free-bot-novelty-accounts-basic-enterprice-monthly-price) The highest tier, which is aimed at commercial-level access, is estimated to cost as much as $42,000 per month. Some Twitter developers said the new pricing would kill their projects.
If Selig's reported numbers are correct, Apollo and [many other third-party apps could be priced out of access to Reddit.](https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/developers-of-third-party-reddit-apps-fear-shutdown-because-of-api-pricing-changes/ar-AA1bZH2O) Many users [say the official Reddit app is inferior and the loss of all third-party apps would have a dramatically negative effect on the site and their participation.](https://kotaku.com/reddit-third-party-3rd-apps-pricing-crush-ios-android-1850493992) This has led to [petitions,](https://www.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/comments/13xh1e7/an_open_letter_on_the_state_of_affairs_regarding/) protests, and widespread calls for a [boycott.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Save3rdPartyApps/comments/13yh0jf/dont_let_reddit_kill_3rd_party_apps/)
**Reddit history and financial information**
Reddit admins have been notably quiet in all this. As of this posting, they haven't issued a statement or commented on [Selig's post.](https://www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/13ws4w3/had_a_call_with_reddit_to_discuss_pricing_bad/) Until they do, we can only infer the company's reasoning by examining the public information.
Reddit [began as a website,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reddit) but like most social media, has experienced a notable shift towards mobile access, such that now [over two thirds of visits are from mobile devices.](https://www.statista.com/statistics/1310697/redditcom-monthly-visits-by-device/) In most cases, Reddit cannot serve ads to users browsing through third-party apps. I think we can also infer that users of those apps are more likely to pay premium subscription fees to the app developer than to Reddit itself.
This means those apps incurs costs to Reddit of serving the API calls without any corresponding revenue stream. The third-party apps probably also steal some users who would otherwise be using Reddit's native app where the company could serve ads, although many of those users say they'd just [leave Reddit rather than use the native app.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Save3rdPartyApps/comments/13yh0jf/dont_let_reddit_kill_3rd_party_apps/)
Reddit's main [revenue streams are from advertising and premium subscriptions.](https://www.investopedia.com/articles/investing/093015/how-reddit-makes-money.asp) The company reportedly [took in $350 million of gross revenue for 2021,](https://www.businessofapps.com/data/reddit-statistics/) which pales in comparison to [Meta’s 2022 ad revenue of $113 billion.](https://techcrunch.com/2023/04/18/reddit-will-begin-charging-for-access-to-its-api/) Even Twitter, despite its many controversies, [raked in nearly $7 billion last year.](https://techcrunch.com/2023/04/18/reddit-will-begin-charging-for-access-to-its-api/)
Although Reddit [ranks](https://www.semrush.com/website/reddit.com/overview/) as the 9th-most-visited website in the world and 6th most-visited website in the US, its users are the [least valuable of any major social media network,](https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/11/reddit-users-are-the-least-valuable-of-any-social-network.html) with estimated average revenue per user (ARPU) of about $0.30. For the sake of comparison, Facebook and Pinterest have estimated ARPUs of $7.37 and $2.80 respectively.
Since 2006, Reddit has been [majority owned by Advance Publications,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reddit) the parent company of Conde Nast. Other significant investors are various [venture capital firms.](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/reddit/company_financials) Because it's privately held, Reddit isn't subject to any of the financial reporting requirements for public companies, so we don't know if it is profitable or to what degree.
It has been widely reported that Reddit is [preparing for a potential initial public offering](https://techcrunch.com/2023/04/18/reddit-will-begin-charging-for-access-to-its-api/) (IPO) sometime later this year. In such cases, it's common for investors to be looking for growth in — or entirely new streams of — revenue.
Companies are also legally required to enter a [quiet period](https://www.sofi.com/learn/content/ipo-quiet-period/) before an IPO, limiting their public statements. It's not clear if we may be in that period, but beyond the legal requirements, it's also in the interest of a company planning for an IPO to be careful not to communicate anything that could diminish its perceived value. The [2012 JOBS Act](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumpstart_Our_Business_Startups_Act) eliminated many disclosure requirements for "emerging growth companies" (which Reddit qualifies as) for a period of five years from their date of filing to go public. "[What that means](https://icrinc.com/insights/the-art-of-ipo-communications-and-why-it-matters/) from a communications perspective is that – apart from rumor and speculation – the general public has no knowledge of the EGC’s IPO plans until the finalized registration statement is publicly filed which, in most cases, is about one month before the company complete[s] the IPO and goes public." So, unfortunately, the financial motivations behind of Reddit's move on API pricing remain obscured from the users.
In the broader market, though, [funding for tech companies has dried up](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/tech-startups-one-last-funding-141505369.html) and [layoffs abound.](https://fortune.com/2023/06/01/tech-layoffs-worst-since-dot-com-bubble-burst/) High interest rates have also [taken their toll,](https://www.marketplace.org/2022/10/24/rising-interest-rates-pack-a-punch-for-tech-companies/) because potential investors can get better returns elsewhere. Increasing revenue and a successful IPO may be Reddit's only avenues to profitability.
What's notable behind all the numbers is that users and moderators are key elements for the company. A loss of users would directly lead to a drop in revenue and valuation. Meanwhile, moderators provide an enormous amount of free labor in the form of content moderation on the platform, without which Reddit would be at risk of severe reputational harm. A policy shift that results in an exodus of both mods and users cannot be good for the company's bottom line. At the same time, running out of cash or provoking an exodus of investors and/or employees could also be very detrimental to the site's future.
**Questions**
* Acknowledging there's a lot of presumption here due to the lack of information from Reddit itself, if a decision for a public media company comes down to open access versus survival, how do they balance those forces?
* Are there other public/social media companies that do a good job of this, and if so, how?
* If a company like Reddit determines it needs to raise revenue in order to continue to provide a platform for public discourse, are there ways to do it that maintain the relative freedom of access (from different apps) such discourse requires?
* And even if the platform is not at risk of extinction, are there ways for a social media company to ensure a reasonable return for investors while also balancing the interests of free and open discussion from all devices?

**Statement from the moderators**
The mods of r/NeutralPolitics appreciate the time and effort of all the teams who have brought public attention to this issue. We generally support whatever fosters more productive discussion on Reddit, and based on what we've seen so far, it's difficult to see how that goal would be served by the elimination of third-party apps. However, if anyone — especially the Reddit corporate officers or administrators — wants to chime in to offer more information, it would be most welcome. All viewpoints will get a fair hearing, so long as they stick to this subreddit's [rules on commenting.](https://www.reddit.com/r/NeutralPolitics/wiki/guidelines#wiki_comment_rules) Towards that end, when citing *primary* sources in this thread, the rule against linking to content on Reddit is lifted. | r/neutralpolitics | post | r/NeutralPolitics | 2023-06-05 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LakwwSUxLaFhiYzZMN1RteENvaU14Y0ZpMXByeWxZLUpTcWY4T3FxN3hKQkdUdklYOWhLX016TkZMVzRra3hsRXRzbkVuTElncG9fQXAwdTlxTlNiYm1HaVE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9FTjljVU40UHRVYVhwdi10Mzd4MHFYRG5tYVhZWGRGZndzMzlWUGFfaTNRUVhPYlU1ZWZ6SjRSV1VCUG5OYUlkS2ZkanF5djBWX3ZsOV80dG5FV2IyeDRQMlJMLTVodWpHZWtrN3FWYzFObnlOUzA0ZkpvTjU4RGgzN2dwUXU5dHU1WmdmUkRfZ1RCcFlmcjBmeGRuaXBnUVE1SFFabmdsUFpnTTBQbEYyTUdVNXlpYUViMWUxRGVXSUpMeTJLNkFLMW1FdGVwalpFVHcyc3ZOVTJYQWlEUT09 |

Even assuming that number is right, why do you assume that 100% of the viewers support the nonsense that is being peddled?
Even assuming that the "paradigm is shifting", this is one of the dumbest metrics you could possibly use to show it.

Yea, I'd say that's pretty much spot on analysis. The only slight tweak I'd say is that it's not only targeted at Americans, it's aimed at the majority of democratic nations. Over here in the UK we saw it around Brexit, and our [Wiki](https://old.reddit.com/r/trollfare/wiki/index) has examples of this type of manipulation with the intent to cause social unrest aimed at the Baltic and Nordic countries as well as others in Europe like Montenegro.
I completely agree that one of the most important aspects that people miss is that the left are targeted and influenced by this kind of thing as well as the right. We like to feel smugly superior and too smart to fall for manipulation, but there are [plenty](https://ushadrons.medium.com/) of [examples](https://eu.usatoday.com/story/tech/2018/05/10/thousands-russian-bought-facebook-social-media-ads-released-congress/849959001/) showing it wasn't only the right being fed this kind of stuff. | r/trollfare | comment | r/trollfare | 2023-06-09 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LakwwTGVWQ1Y4RUNDTHB4RU5OdGVOR3hhUGhfeFFVXzUyODB3RktHYjJjeEtQc2QyWWRKdGFHVjFmZ1BTZk5CdUpJdWI5bWlwdGJXZkhDSmd4d1FWQ0N1Vmc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9FMFp0SVBXcnowYnJPTXZ1a3RDMnZkMlBZZGtudnpwTV82UWg5UmNUT1BGQkQyZkt4VTM5QUZDNVZuUnNvbXJTOUVwLWxOVnZucmk1T29JMXNGTGFjZlc3czV6NmN1MTRXTzNCRDkyZ0g2dllzLTRvWFBHejBoTDJSOVlZTDB3RFFMYXNlUU15a1NPYzktMTNxanlUdTRMWUxsRlh4dzFFYjNjaEw5Z0k1RnVmcGZTWjZPZWZmUHYxN2JWQ2NqSkpk |
The [Florida governor](https://flgov.com/2023/05/10/governor-ron-desantis-signs-strongest-anti-illegal-immigration-legislation-in-the-country-to-combat-bidens-border-crisis/) has signed Senate [Bill 1718](https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2023/1718) into law. Some of the [provisions are](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/ron-desantis-signs-immigration-crackdown-rcna83726):
• Banning local governments from issuing identification cards for people who can’t prove citizenship.
• Requiring hospitals that accept Medicaid to include a question on intake forms about the patient’s citizenship status.
• Banning undocumented law school graduates from being admitted to the Florida bar.
• Increasing penalties for human trafficking-related offenses.
• Beefing up the required use of E-Verify, a federal database employers can use to check a worker’s employment eligibility.
Many [businesses and workers are against this law](https://www.npr.org/2023/05/30/1177657218/florida-anti-immigration-law-1718-desantis). At the same time, the US is a democracy based on the rule of law.
What are the pros and cons of implementing these provisions on a federal level to combat the effects of illegal immigration?
And what is the effectiveness of past measures, or present measures, in other states/countries with similar provisions, meant to combat the effects of illegal immigration and/or discourage illegal immigration altogether (except of course to make said illegal immigration legal)? | r/neutralpolitics | post | r/NeutralPolitics | 2023-06-09 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LakwwbUtVMUl1VDB5NGJ5bUJhUUVfeHZ5NGVOVUtEUkJpZWJVMmVNV0gwZTZUQjc5c1hWdUFmSm1FU1NMcUhtUjVXcHhSeHZqV3c4OHRaSDB5TnRqMkFRTWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9FYllOV1VIclUtOWdLd1JLalBEcmowTEFlTDUyOUs1c0hJczhnNWVvNGpJRXI1LXJWUlJSTm1aMGZhNHVRNTk3S1BTWi1xdDBfN2RMWDNpZjNMMnA3TVNjZ0lxbjN1Ri1vaWFOTlFFNG4zb3FONTlFczYzT3hQb01RUjA3cmtnaWRWTnRYZ0hjcnJTaTVDME5XNkd1VjZNU3FySGQtdlRZaWJ6bll4d3NHcXN2d3JvM20zRGJRX1lQZVkwb04zZ0I5VlF0aEItaGZLNzhDRlF0UHVEQVZ3Zz09 |

Syrian residents in rebel-held areas are turning plastic waste into a means of survival, repurposing discarded materials to create floor rugs and other items. In impoverished regions like northwest Syria, recycling is not merely an environmental choice but a vital lifeline for struggling individuals seeking work and affordable goods. Amidst the challenging conditions of a rubbish dump in Idlib province's Hezreh village, Mohammed Behlal and his children navigate the stench, insects, and health risks to scavenge for plastic. Earning a modest income of $7 to $10 per week each, they persevere through difficult labor, grateful for the opportunity to work with the discarded resources. This creative endeavor provides hope and sustenance for families like Behlal's, who have endured displacement and hardship due to Syria's civil war.

Adapted from: r/Save3rdPartyApps [post here.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Save3rdPartyApps/comments/13yh0jf/dont_let_reddit_kill_3rd_party_apps)
# What's going on?
A recent Reddit policy change threatens to kill many beloved third-party mobile apps, making a great many quality-of-life features and accessibility functions not seen in the official mobile app permanently inaccessible to users.
On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API from being free to a level that will kill every third party app on Reddit, from [Apollo](https://www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/13ws4w3/had_a_call_with_reddit_to_discuss_pricing_bad/) to [Reddit is Fun](https://www.reddit.com/r/redditisfun/comments/13wxepd/rif_dev_here_reddits_api_changes_will_likely_kill/) to [Narwhal](https://www.reddit.com/r/getnarwhal/comments/13wv038/reddit_have_quoted_the_apollo_devs_a_ridiculous/jmdqtyt/) to [BaconReader](https://www.reddit.com/r/baconreader/comments/13wveb2/reddit_api_changes_and_baconreader/).
Even if you're not a mobile user and don't use any of those apps, this is a step toward killing other ways of customizing Reddit, such as Reddit Enhancement Suite or the use of the old.reddit.com desktop interface.
This isn't only a problem on the user level: many subreddit moderators depend on tools only available outside the official app to keep their communities on-topic and spam-free.
# What's the plan?
On June 12th, [many subreddits](https://old.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/comments/1401qw5/incomplete_and_growing_list_of_participating/) will be going dark to protest this policy. Some will return after 48 hours: others will go away permanently unless the issue is adequately addressed, since many moderators aren't able to put in the work they do with the poor tools available through the official app. This isn't something any of us do lightly: we do what we do because we love Reddit, and we truly believe this change will make it impossible to keep doing what we love.
The two-day blackout isn't the *goal*, and it isn't the end. Should things reach the 14th with no sign of Reddit choosing to fix what they've broken, we'll use the community and buzz we've built between then and now as a tool for further action.
What can *you* do?
1. **Complain.** Message the mods of [r/reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit/).com, who are the admins of the site: message [/u/reddit](https://www.reddit.com/u/reddit/): submit a [support request](https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/requests/new): comment in relevant threads on [r/reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit/), such as [this one](https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/12qwagm/an_update_regarding_reddits_api/), leave a negative review on their official iOS or Android app- and sign your username in support to this post.
2. **Spread the word.** Rabble-rouse on related subreddits. Meme it up, make it spicy. Bitch about it to your cat. Suggest anyone you know who moderates a subreddit join us at our sister sub at [r/ModCoord](https://www.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/) \- but please don't pester mods you *don't* know by simply spamming their modmail.
3. **Boycott** ***and*** **spread the word...to Reddit's competition!** Stay off Reddit entirely on June 12th through the 13th- instead, take to your favorite *non*\-Reddit platform of choice and make some noise in support!
4. **Don't be a jerk.** As upsetting this may be, threats, profanity and vandalism will be worse than useless in getting people on our side. Please make every effort to be as restrained, polite, reasonable and law-abiding as possible. **This includes not harassing moderators of subreddits who have chosen not to take part**: no one likes a missionary, a used-car salesman, or a flame warrior. | r/nanotech | post | r/nanotech | 2023-06-11 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LakwwY0ktNDRuLUpaeVFxTTVSa2Y0dUdEc2RPWXVpNkJQbXJwRkZXWTFOUFFGYTZIU09zTllMbjdRUzdRYzV6M0x0Q0FfODBoVzZoX0Q4eFU4d29LNUJVTlE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9FbjFrMlpNV05NMFAyQ2tCSVgtdGE0TWxxaG9lVmhxQkc1RXZ4ZkVPa1dJUUJ0ODVjaWduenhibTFZOXRrMmJHSVd4blBuWUVpOVJvRkg0NXZLSDlyTXlzcE5BQ1VIN1NzVTZHRzAta0tjX3JzVUpBeUlGbkJBYm5zODdiSHhXaUJ2b2p4aXRTZzNhaUZ2WFBvUXRLeU0zZlVMY05VQU0wUDZtLUFMNVlVZV9rTWUybDFEWl9aSnpEVEoyR3Q4LXFvMHNjNFJrU2I0RFpzb1NhN0R3WDlwdz09 |
DeepMind has reported a new algorithms to sort three numbers faster than the earlier one by using reinforcement learning in AlphaDev ([https://www.deepmind.com/blog/alphadev-discovers-faster-sorting-algorithms](https://www.deepmind.com/blog/alphadev-discovers-faster-sorting-algorithms)). The last three lines in AlphaDev's algo are (retyped by me). The input numbers are A, B, and C, whose ascending values are to be placed in P, Q, R.
mov P Memory\[0\] // = min(A, B)
mov Q Memory\[1\] // = max(min(A, C), B)
mov R Memory\[2\] // = Max(A, C)
Comment in the first line does not match the semantics of the assembler code that precedes in the blog (not reproduced here). The comment should say"= min(A, B, C). Do you agree?
If I pick (4, 5, 1) as the input values, the output becomes (1, 5, 4), which is not correct.
Their version of the original algo contains the same problem. The right answer is (1, 4, 5).
I must be missing the elephant in the room. Would appreciate help. The method adopted by AlphaDev is interesting, though.

Meta's MusicGen is an advanced AI tool that utilizes a Transformer model to generate music snippets.
This unique, open-source tool blends technology and creativity, offering a new avenue for music generation.
Key features and details of MusicGen:
It generates a 12-second audio clip based on provided text descriptions, using a process similar to language models predicting the next letters in a phrase.
It employs Meta’s EnCodec audio tokenizer to fragment the audio data into manageable pieces, processing the tokens in parallel for efficiency.
The training of the model involved 20,000 hours of authorized music, with half of it being high-quality audio recordings from an internal dataset and the rest from Shutterstock and Pond5.
The model can interpret both text and musical cues to establish the basic style of the generated music. However, it serves more as a general guide rather than a precise control over the melody.
MusicGen is accessible via the Hugging Face API for testing. Users can also set up their own model instance for quicker results or download the code for manual execution if they possess the necessary skills and equipment.
It offers four model sizes, from tiny (300 million parameters) to big (3.3 billion parameters), with the larger models capable of creating more intricate music. A GPU with at least 16GB of RAM is recommended for operation.
In essence, Meta's MusicGen represents a significant stride towards integrating AI into the music industry, enhancing immersive experiences within the metaverse, and offering a unique platform for user interaction and collaboration

Imagine if someone gave you a very advanced, super complicated LEGO set. This LEGO set can build really cool things, like cars, houses, and even robots.
However, these cool things can sometimes break, or not work as we want them to, and we don't always know why.
So, these big companies, OpenAI, Google DeepMind, and Anthropic, have just given the UK government a peek at the instructions for their most advanced LEGO sets, which are actually the code for their AI models.
AI models are like the brains behind things like Siri or Alexa, and they can do all sorts of things like answer questions, write stories, and play games.
By looking at the instructions, the UK government can understand better how these AIs are built, and what makes them tick.
This can help the government make sure these AIs are used in good ways and avoid the situations where they might break or not work right.
We need rules to play games fairly and safely, the Prime Minister, who is like the team captain, Rishi Sunak, wants to understand and make better rules for these advanced AIs.
This way, everyone can have fun, and nobody gets hurt.
What are it's implications?
• Improved Transparency: By giving the government access to their AI models' source code, these companies are allowing for a greater level of transparency. The government can see exactly how these models work, which can lead to better understanding and regulation of AI technology.
• Enhanced Regulation: With a better understanding of these AI models, the government can implement more effective regulations and guidelines to ensure that AI is used ethically and responsibly. This can also help protect consumers and citizens from potential misuse of AI.
• National Security and Safety: In understanding the workings of these advanced AI models, the government can anticipate and mitigate potential risks to national security and public safety. For instance, if an AI were to malfunction or be exploited, having access to the source code could enable quicker, more effective responses.
• Research Advancements: Access to these models could also spur advancements in AI research within the UK. Researchers could learn from these advanced models and potentially make further improvements or breakthroughs.
• Ethics and Accountability: This move could set a precedent for ethical considerations and accountability in AI. Other AI companies might be encouraged to follow suit and be more transparent about their models, leading to more ethical and accountable AI practices overall.
• Economic Impact: The knowledge obtained from these AI systems could foster innovation, leading to new products, services, or sectors in the economy. This could have positive effects on economic growth and job creation.

🤖 German Church Holds AI-Powered Service
A church in Germany drew a 300+ person crowd to a service ran entirely by AI.
The 40-minute sermon featured text generated by OpenAI's ChatGPT and was delivered by AI avatars on a television screen above the altar.
The chatbot personified as a bearded man with a fixed expression and monotone voice, addressed the audience, proclaiming its honor as the first artificial intelligence to speak at the convention.
This service was part of the biennial German Evangelical Church Congress and was organized by Jonas Simmerlein, a theologian and philosopher, who guided the creation of the service.
What are the possible implications of this?
Technological Acceptance and Integration: This event demonstrates a high level of acceptance and integration of technology into traditional practices. It could pave the way for more widespread use of AI in various aspects of society, including other religious and cultural practices.
Accessibility and Inclusion: AI-powered services could make religious teachings more accessible to people who cannot physically attend services due to distance, disability, or other reasons. It could also allow for services to be easily translated into different languages, making them more inclusive.
Religious Interpretation and Authority: The use of AI in delivering sermons could raise questions about the interpretation of religious texts. Traditionally, this has been the role of human religious leaders who use their understanding, wisdom, and personal experience to interpret religious texts. An AI, while it can analyze and generate text based on patterns, does not have personal experiences or emotions, which could lead to different interpretations.
Ethical Considerations: There are also ethical considerations to take into account. For instance, who is responsible for the content generated by the AI? What happens if the AI delivers a message that is controversial or offensive? These questions would need to be addressed.
Job Displacement: As with any automation, there could be concerns about job displacement. If AI can deliver sermons, could it replace human religious leaders? While it's unlikely that AI could fully replace the personal connection and guidance provided by human leaders, it could potentially take over some of their roles.
AI Development and Regulation: This event could stimulate further development and refinement of AI technologies, as well as discussions about regulation. For instance, should there be guidelines or standards for the use of AI in religious services?
Spiritual Connection: There could be debates about the spiritual aspect of a sermon delivered by an AI. Can an AI, which does not have a soul or consciousness, create a spiritual connection with the congregation? This could lead to discussions about the nature of spirituality and consciousness

Paul McCartney said he’s created one final Beatles song
— featuring the late John Lennon — by employing artificial intelligence.
The singer-songwriter star told BBC’s Today radio program on Tuesday that he had used AI to “extricate” Lennon’s voice from a demo cassette the singer recorded shortly before he was killed in 1980.
The record will be released later this year.

Hi everyone,
We've reopened the subreddit as [we originally communicated.](https://old.reddit.com/r/NeutralPolitics/comments/146pbgr/meta_neutralpolitics_will_temporarily_go_dark_on/) Things have evolved since we first made that decision.
1. /u/spez sent [an internal memo to Reddit staff](https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/13/23759559/reddit-internal-memo-api-pricing-changes-steve-huffman) stating “There’s a lot of noise with this one. Among the noisiest we’ve seen. Please know that our teams are on it, and like all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass as well.” It appears they intend to wait us all out.
2. The AMA with /u/spez was widely regarded as disastrous, with only 21 replies from reddit staff, and a repetition of the [accusations against Apollo dev, Christian Selig.](https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/145bram/comment/jnk45rr) Most detailed questions were left [unanswered.](https://old.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/145bram/addressing_the_community_about_changes_to_our_api/jnk26x7/) Despite [claiming to work with developers that want to work with them,](https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/145bram/comment/jnk647a/) several independent developers report [being totally ignored.](https://old.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/145bram/addressing_the_community_about_changes_to_our_api/jnk2pp3/)
3. In addition, the future of r/blind is still uncertain, as the [tools they need are not available on the 2 accessible apps.](https://old.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/comments/148ks6u/indefinite_blackout_next_steps_polling_your/jo0k7kf/)
[/r/ModCoord has a community list of demands in order to end the blackout.](https://www.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/comments/148ks6u/indefinite_blackout_next_steps_polling_your/jo0pqzk/)
The Neutralverse mod team is currently evaluating these developments and considering future options.

I literally thought this was a joke. You have been so manipulated with the anti-China hysteria that you are making shitty memes. It increasingly feels like before the Iraq war again, except this time the US is going to invade China under made up accusations. And no, I'm not a Chinese/Russia troll. I live in Canada.

I want to write a paper this summer but I don't have any experience in research. I'm in my 3rd year, so I am an undergraduate student. Should I ask my professor for a specific research topic or should I come up with my own?

The piece is about Fox New's willful ignorance of the history of racism interwoven with the history of America. The American, Confederate, and Confederate Battle Flags are all filtered over each each other to suggest that racism never died in American, attention has just been directed elsewhere. I started out wanting to make the notion of "American Prosperity" or "Manifest Destiny" into a "Snakes and Ladders" boardgame, that is rather a front to a manipulative, confusing, and cruel system. One ladder is conspicuously placed and the snakes are slithering amok. I wanted the iconography to be characters that could lend themselves to the scenes, but be free of the baggage of the subject matter. In satirizing Fox News' propaganda, I wanted to allude to the history of racism without delivering the pill with too many sharp edges, or to "Nerf" or "Disneyfy" the history. Disney characters from my childhood felt appropriately ironic to incorporate since the company has been at ideological war with conservatives in recent years. The Foxes are from Disney's The Fox and The Hound, which I would argue was promoting the appreciation of differences and loving the other as its moral. The painting's Foxes are quite the contrary, sporting Tucker Carlson's famous bow tie and pitifully outraged expressions.
The King and his sycophant Sir Hiss from Robin Hood are camped out on Native American land and mesmerized by vanity, much like at Mara Lago situated on Seminole land. Chief Wahoo is a similarly awful and degrading of an image as that of Sambo, and yet it is still used as a corporate logo. Because the Native American genocide has become a side note in history, it seemed fitting to have the image be the only reference to this part of the story.
The larger story is slavery in America becoming mutated instead of extinguished by the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Slavery was still legal for convicts, so America just had to learn how to incarcerate better to preserve white power. Paul Bunyan is seen in the right side of the painting displaying his white privilege as he gestures towards opportunity and prosperity out of frame. His counterpart Babe The Blue Ox is left to toil in prison garb, wearing the 13 on is back, and receiving backlash from the foxes for his angst from his fate. He's pulling an empty Santa sleigh with the pointlessness of Sisyphus, whilst pulling along an exploitative system that only helps the rich private prison shareholders get even richer. Paul and Babe (in the Disney Tall Tale version) create the Rocky Mountains in their mighty tussle upon meeting, and change the landscape with logging like no other in their eventual alliance. This felt like a heavily euphemized way to view the formation of America's great wealth and prosperity being created on the backs of slaves. Their alliance made them an incomparable resource for American Expansionism until the rich industrialist came to town with his machines like a chainsaw and locomotive to put Paul and Babe out of business. The mustachioed industrialist appears in the center of the painting, swallowing the scene that he is woven around, with one eye on the King and the other eye on Babe. The industrialist represents a media billionaire that can be someone like Rupert Murdoch or Elon Musk (just a rich person using technology to subjugate).
The source image of the scene that the industrialist is swallowing was a protester and his super hero costumed daughter facing riot police. This image particularly disturbed me, as I refuse to believe there can be any justification for aiming a smoke grenade launcher at a toddler. The scene is broken up by the flag's bars into guide lines that separate the abstracted "grey area" or the realistic rendered portions of the figures. The humanities of the officers and the father don't match up, as he goes in and out of reality or presence whilst supporting his daughter who is simultaneously riding his shoulders and the industrialist's nose. She could be victim to circumstances that have trickled down from ultimately a few hands for very selfish and licentious reasons.
Between the super hero infant and the narcissistic trespass of the King on tribal land, is of course the Insurrection of January 6th. This was enabled by white power and privilege, fueled by propaganda and white rage over the paranoias of their replacement, and absolutely stoked by the disinformation from Fox News and their ilk. The King's sycophant slithers toward the viewer to hypnotize and coax you toward the goal of upending democracy in favor of the fascist narrative. Are the Chief Wahoo's threatening the King? Or is the Ouroboros threatening them? This snake also completes a "Q" with the Ouroboros snake to denote Q-anon's role in the disinformation and manipulation of information for nefarious purposes. This Q also sits in the painting like how some storybooks start out chapters with a giant and ornate first letter of the first word, insinuating that Q-anon might harken in a dark new chapter in American Racism. Inside the Ouroboros posturing as the King, is the guy that broke into Nancy Pelosi's office to put his feet on her desk and rummage through her belongings. This felt like one of the most entitled images I had ever seen, and demonstrated the ownership the Insurrectionists were taking in their crimes.
The other police officers are depicted in the painting not to address the insurrection, but to bombard the convict at the slightest sign of aggression. The industrialist's mustache seems to mediate or instigate these forces of the police and those that are being particularly policed, whilst meanwhile covering the opportunities of the ladder. | r/fakenews | comment | r/fakenews | 2023-06-16 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LakwwV3ZhNHpUd194THF6N0VET014bUZBWTN0M0NwUXpUUWlIRmpBMWUxWC00UEFLUVliRDR6N3NYRk5PY2hQa003bUUzNmlXVVR4ZlZaX0lKQWQ2UzhWVFE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9FUkFSQXVWQWlnVHZWWTNmU3V4dkRNQXJ3YWRxZGdsSW5ESFRsYWNOMVplVVlWeUZad1ZCT0pUanBMZWRlLUFQdjZHZlowN041WGRabHRJRVZvdTlpYU9hVTZyanFHVUFGTE5oU1FTdmxBalZGLWNITHBRcVFxeTV3QTVWdWR6TGFhQ1pSUWxxemVWNTg4YkhuNWpjUDNaMHpWNlNicjBWMkd5N25wZDd0aXFjOGl3Q3R4S0Y5V1RSNUVWNVRBV1Qwd1Nnb0tEU1NTWjFKaElIR0UtRDhkZz09 |

Hi everyone,
After discussion amongst the Neutralverse mod team about the current API protests and input from all of you, we have decided to place the subreddit in a read-only state for the time being. All submissions will be restricted and all comments are by approval only. We will continue to monitor the situation and adapt to new developments.

Or like, the fact this happened? It's not like it's misinformation lol.
America's government has *absolutely* committed atrocities that I think you could define as "evil". The problem is if someone is trying to bring those up to whataboutism/both-sides the atrocities of others to normalize abuse, or if they're genuinely attempting to criticize abusive behavior no matter who perpetrated it.
If this event is heinous enough to be seen as "trollfare" for it being brought up, then perhaps the US government deserves ire for having done it in the first place. It's not like we don't still have violent reactions to protesters from law enforcement to this day in this country or anything lol. | r/trollfare | comment | r/trollfare | 2023-06-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LakwwakhNZnJsYXpVX3VMeUdueU5MM3V6Zi0zckk3QmxzNHhMR3RTVnhqaFFFaWlGTmxvcm5fdXNlZHRaQWZLM0VVbjVzVGFTU0NZbEdNRndDeW4ydF9LUEE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9Fd19BanBhUHMyYlhodTNPU1g2T05XUmZXQTFEWS14cEpvRkhvZEFlQ0s3Vjd6OXpDWGdhZEFuSFlMTmI2aTlZTTdEWFE5c25UUm4wTGxraHZ1R1JMOFlIeHl2UTBEX0JYdG9YaTNBU0c0THYtb1kzVnVBR0EtMTdCb1BFUDAyeHc5aFFYTkl0N3p6Z0ctRkF6X2k2aFd4M1hTMHduZVJ3U3FsdjZUVjhNZVZlZWxzS2pENExlUWs5VmJKQ0dPNlFHRjcwU1J5YWlLRG1rSEx2UkZ0X0tSQT09 |

Just skim through the data and find something interesting To compare here: https://www.bls.gov/web/empsit/ces_cps_trends.htm
Use your library resources (I’m sure you have Stata or R available)
Teach yourself to code if you don’t know already, should have enough time by the end of next year if that’s your deadline. If you want to make it in grad school, you have to do this now to learn. They will expect you to already know this by the time you graduate. Ask for plenty of advice on statistical methodologies and use as much office time as you can get as you progress along with your work. | r/econpapers | comment | r/EconPapers | 2023-06-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LakwwdXFIMmFRVk1EeWpWdExkVUtZaW9obFNKalRhTVI1YlIwWGtHb0VLSGdhLXVhaU9QU19WZk9VNV9uR3hnWE9YRHFuV2tQNEx2d1RyR0tQYTlrZy1neW5qamNpN1BVOGMwY0R0RDdmNjRjMjA9 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9FN0ZuQkNHbzlqaTRWTk9LWHFKYlhuSFJTLUZIYXMwT2NrU05rSjM2YVBQVjE5Q0dQcmtCb196UGx2eG5sdklRMTFGOVZ2eFZscnBJSFBkSHhyTzJ0RWR1ckVJTktOZHJncXdEZG1pXzRQLWNQSzBVQ1JYSkYzZWtxR2YtREFTNGtEMWpFVnQzR252elVXSXJJMUxnMmsyX3BpcTBBY29rRmF3cVlaaXlKOVlOaXlZSkdteC01MXlKcVBHTWVmYjFwc0Q0cTVsNGx1OUlFUGhibXloZTQ5dz09 |
Good, it's about time Spotify decided to continue to try and make some money! They must have taken a leaf out of the Capitalist's manifesto.
