    @ASalvadorini @Nithin_00000000 It was an ordeal, 3 hours of trial & error. This is a hacky fix though, I won't get security updates. Others on reddit say they have both, others say they only can have 1.23 if they uninstall 2.0. Even uninstalling 2.0, MY 1.23 auto updates to 2.0 no matter what.

    I hate this so much. I saw this happen with reddit fandoms. “No no no, people on MY side can’t be lunatics, they must be plants to make us look bad”. Yes, actually, people on your side can JUST be crazy. It happens. Take responsibility and disavow. Whats the issue with that?

    @TheGadgetFreakk @Reazeeer Someone on Reddit opened them up and through the driver's serial number he found out that said drivers are Chinese mass produced drivers for live 50$ which have terrible quality and are prone to break fast. Fact is that that audio64 is heavily overpriced. (1)

    A borrower on Reddit sparked a major discussion after revealing they were struggling with nearly $89,000 in credit card debt despite cutting almost every non-essential expense. The person said they lost their job two years ago and returned to work at a much lower income, forcing them to make only minimum payments. Their debt reportedly grew from about $40,000 to nearly $89,000, largely due to interest and the difficulty of staying current. They said they may no longer be able to make minimum payments and are worried about lawsuits or wage garnishment in California. The poster said their budget is already stripped down to basics: mortgage, utilities, gas, insurance, groceries and work-related expenses. They said they have no vacations, no luxury spending, no expensive hobbies and have canceled nearly every subscription. What surprised commenters was the income. The borrower later said they bring in about $10,000 per month, but expenses are around $10,000 to $10,100. That shifted the conversation, with some questioning how someone earning roughly $120,000 a year could still be unable to gain ground. Others urged the borrower to contact creditors, ask about hardship programs, explore nonprofit repayment plans or consider debt settlement options. The bigger takeaway: high income does not automatically fix a debt spiral if interest costs, fixed expenses and cash flow pressure are already out of control.

    Someone just messaged me after burning more than $1k/mo on Reddit ads with zero results. Her boss wanted numbers and she was panicking. I asked one question: "Do you have any organic reach?" "No." She said. She avoided organic because she thought her boss would think she wasn't working if she wasn't running ads. But here's the thing about Reddit — REDDITORS ABSOLUTELY HATE BEING SOLD TO. The only way to actually move product there is to Show up in the comments. Answer questions. Solve problems. Be useful. NO AD WILL DO THAT FOR YOU. The rule on every platform is the same: Start organic. Then pour money behind what's already working. On Reddit, Twitter, LinkedIn — the comments section is where the real money is. So instead of investing your time and budget on Reddit ads you better spend hours every day to Scroll, Drop value without dropping the links. Stop buying attention. EARN IT!

    Mining Reddit and forums for pain is good research but the gap is usually between "complaining about it" and "willing to pay to fix it." That filter is where most micro-SaaS ideas fall apart.

    I've cancelled my Premium Basic subscription because I was getting more "views" on the free version, and I have no interest in Veblen goods, prefering value for money. I tried my article about the bankers taking £40 BILLION of our money, on Reddit, "r/AskEconomics" and - guess what? It was removed on the grounds of breaching rule V. which bans "soapboxing" and loaded questions. Judge for yourself. I have made a few updates in the article, to better explain my argument. If after reading what I have said, you still disbelieve that the bankers could have gatekeepers across social media, preserving their "golden goose," that is your inalienable right: I would like to offer my first post, on a subject which has troubled me for several years. I have now constructed a paradigm which makes sense of the inscrutable UK economy, and it requires the visualisation of the UK economy as two separate and distinct financial entities, with two different types of money. 1. The general economy, the one which includes M1, M2, M3 etc. and which I think of as the main, or primary economy, where we spend money to live. 2. The other, secondary economy, is a banking one, where digital money is created with the stroke of a computer key, and none of it appears in the UK money supply figures, because there is nothing to buy in the digital-money-creating-economy. It is only when digitally created money is transferred, in the form of bank loans, mortgages or student loans, from the banking sector - where it was created - into the real economy of M1, M2 etc. that the money changes from being digital, to becoming real, and the money supply automatically increases to include it. I do understand that commercial banks operate in the real economy but when they create money there are strict financial regulations and accounting mechanics dictating exactly how this money is controlled and deployed. “Commercial banks create new money through lending, but they cannot use this self-created money to buy arbitrary assets, fund their own operating expenses, or purchase corporate buildings. When a bank creates money, it does so by simultaneously writing a loan asset and a deposit liability on its balance.” ChatGBT This is easy in the UK where some 90% of all financial transactions are cashless. Sometime later, when the loan is repaid in full, the amount recorded under "loans receivable" has, in the bank's accounts, been reduced to zero, and it could be said that the "created money has disappeared." This - to me - "myth," that the created money disappears, is a controversial one that has been presented to me as a fact (which I did not understand), and to which I have been unable to articulate a sound challenge; until now. The problem was, and still is, that the repayment of the loan has, indeed, cleared the original loan creation, but, those same loan repayments - which cleared the "loans receivable" account at the bank, have ended up securely in the same bank's deposits. The amount of the loan has moved from the primary economy into the secondary, or banking- digital-money-creation sector, and the rules, above, state that the money cannot be used to buy arbitrary assets.. Our clever banking forebears overcame the problem with a sublime solution. They created a "reserve fund" at the Bank of England, they even called it their "reserve account" and used it as a receptacle for all real economy money that ends up, somehow, in the secondary, or digital economy. The money held in the reserve account does not count towards the money supply and this effectively "hides" the problem of the permanent transfer of real money into the digital economy. And yet we, the taxpayers, pay interest worth £40 BILLION A YEAR to the bankers, ostensibly for keeping their money in this reserve account. If you ask AI who owns this money it says: “Since the 2008 crisis, the BoE created large amounts of reserves during quantitative easing. When the BoE bought government bonds, it credited commercial banks’ reserve accounts with newly created central bank money.” AI got this information from Hansard. But why did QE result in the commercial banks receiving £875 billion paid into the BoE reserve account? The following, are the words used by the BoE to describe QE on its website: “The money we used to buy bonds when we were doing QE did not come from government taxation or borrowing. Instead, like other central banks, we can create money digitally in the form of ‘central bank reserves’.” So, if the BoE created the money digitally, why did the commercial banks get credited? The BoE were buying government bonds from the Debt Management Office, which is an Executive Agency of HM Treasury, in order to move extra money into the treasury, to help pay for the Banking collapse and the Covid pandemic. These two quotes, one from AI, sourced from Hansard, and one from the BoE website are mutually exclusive, they cannot both be correct. Returning to the subject of this article, the "BoE reserve account" neatly resolves the problem with "real money" leaking into the "digital economy," and uses this fund to balance commercial bank accounts each day, a laudable undertaking, but at what cost to the nation. Your instinct will be to think, they wouldn't do this, but please bear in mind that until recently UK university "economics courses," including my own master's course, were teaching that banks used the money in their deposit accounts to make loans, the so-called "fractional reserve banking," this is simply untrue. Banks create loans with digital money and transfer it into the real economy as a loan. Why did the universities do that? What were they helping to hide? My issue on all of this is: why are we paying interest to the banks on digital money that doesn't exist in the UK money supply and which the owner cannot spend on arbitrary assets? Of course they can't spend it, it is in the secondary, or digital-money-creation-economy, you can only spend money in the real economy, the digital economy is for creating money and lending it into the real economy. Interest is to compensate someone for lending money which could be earning income from trading. Money in the BoE reserve account cannot trade. This is our money – we own the BoE - and it would transform the UK economy. We could, for example raise the tax-free allowance immediately to around £25,000 per year. With potential huge increases in UK productivity.

    a lot of teams are running ai visibility campaigns that treat it like a single channel they optimize it isn't "what is loganix" gets answered by what reddit and review sites say about us our own site has minimal say here "best link building service" gets answered by listicles, comparison posts, and third-party placements our own site has even less say why? gemini actively ignores first-party content for category queries chatgpt still uses official sites, but mostly to verify what it learned elsewhere the citation volume comes from off-domain either way every citation type here is workable brand citations get built where ai models look for entity context: wikipedia, reddit, structured listings, and reviews category citations get built by earning your way into the listicles, comparison posts, and /news/ placements ai pulls from on buyer queries informational citations follow once those layers exist the model trusts what your domain claims after the rest of the signal is built ai visibility is a distribution problem the work compounds across the network of places that talk about you

    So the solution is to use genAI that is more expensive, more resources intensive, and mostly relied on reddit or other community-sourced sources that are now seeing 1000x server bills due to AI scrappers. Sound logic.

  • workwithkrupal
    Krupal Chaudhary (@workwithkrupal) reported

    This Reddit thread called “how not to run an AI company” isn’t actually about bad engineering. It's about what happens when AI demand breaks infrastructure in real time. This is what the system looks like right now: -> Multiple Claude products showing repeated outages over 90 days -> Uptime fluctuating between 98–99%, but with visible instability spikes -> API, Code, Console, and enterprise tools all degrading differently under load -> Users split between “this is normal scaling” and “this is unacceptable for paid infra” And here’s the part people miss that this isn’t model failure. The AI still works. The system around it doesn’t stay stable under continuous demand. So you get this weird reality where: 1. The intelligence is state-of-the-art 2. The availability feels early stage startup 3. The usage feels enterprise critical And those three things don’t coexist cleanly yet. This is why these threads always look chaotic. Users think “this is broken” Engineers think “this is scaling” Companies think “this is success” And all of them are correct because the real bottleneck in AI right now isn’t capability. its predictability under load.

    🚨I added to $RDDT today. Reddit is down 37% YTD and it’s easily a $200+ stock. 91.5% gross margin. 7 consecutive quarter of 60% sales growth. Out of all US tech companies, only ONE has this full combo at the same time: • 40%+ revenue growth • 30%+ FCF and EBITDA margins • tiny capex • 91.5% gross margin Look, I don’t enjoy buying beaten-down stocks—I’m all-in on AI hardware plays—but $RDDT is straight-up a gold mine here.
