I know a few people who do Twitter bot detection as sort of a hobby, and I would say you have to be skeptic of these numbers from both directions.

Obvious bots are, well, obvious. Novice or careless implementations lead to accounts that tweet at the same time or based on the same trigger words. Tweets made on a routine basis are the easiest to detect (e.g. Tweets at 5PM CST every day)

But things go much deeper. There are even companies that now develop bots tools essentially, increasing the randomness or human-like qualities of bots. These are much harder to detect with the standard methods.

There are other proxies, like not getting organic replies or having no friends. But the sophisticated bot networks have already figured this out. You have to realize that sometimes human labor even goes into the effort, where someone will maintain hundreds of fake accounts, and attempt to make them look organic.

From these points, it's easy to underestimate the number of actual bot accounts.

On the other hand, these same methods don't usually control well for a certain type of Twitter user. There are actually some really obsessive twitter users who will spend 12+ hours a day active. They typically produce a ton of content, and a lot of replies. I notice this on celebrity/political accounts especially. (Apparently people are calling this the 'reply-guy' now)

Those accounts are susceptible to appearing as bots because they deviate far from what one might imagine the 'average' Twitter user looks like. Speaking anecdotally, I think this relates closest to politics, and hot topic issues (Hence the topic in this research). Take a Tweet from the US President for example. You will notice the same few dozen accounts reply to every Tweet of his. Some may be bots, but others are most definitely human.

But these often get classified as bots.

If I had to make a guess, I would say the bot detection models fail more often to account for the true number of bots.

At this point, it's an arms race. Obvious bots are becoming increasingly less obvious. Overall, I think bots are only going to get better, and it worries me for the fate of social networks. The thing most frightening is finding an obvious bot and seeing a large number of organic users interacting with it as if it were real.

Edit: One more thing I forgot to mention. An increasing number of bots are getting verified now. I have no idea how the verification process works, but apparently the botters have figured out how to game it successfully.
To be frank it is abundantly clear that you do not know the first thing about depression. It saps motivation first to such an extent that the reason SSRIs are a suicide risk is because they wanted to kill themselves before but didn't have the motivation to actually carry out desires.

Saying to "just" make lifestyle changes is like asking why paraplegics just don't start crawling until they can walk and deriding them as lazy because their legs are atrophied.

I went bot hunting a few weeks ago and it was incredibly insightful. What’s interesting is you can just drill in deeper and deeper by looking at the followers of bot accounts, which are very likely bots themselves. Many created in Feb and March 2020 with thousands of tweets already. I had a lot of fun thinking about the heuristics to detect a bot. Some common ones seemed to be they follow a bot, they have inflammatory bio, banner, or profile pictures. Many tweet really polarizing things.

Here is a thread I did about it. I actually tagged a suspect account and the troll started commenting in the thread, DMed me, reported random tweets, and a bunch of other stuff.

The first bot seems to launch ad hominem attacks on organic users via retweets with comments saying something terrible about them. When it doesn’t do that, it just retweets other accounts that do the same strategy.
China being the largest case study of the Bystander effect sounds quite plausible.

I would also love to get some smart polling data from the Chinese public, and by that I mean not what America did in the 2016 election where we couldn’t obfuscate the questions to extract real sentiment.

Ask them a question like ‘do you feel people in Hong Kong think they are better than mainlanders?’, and then I think we’ll start to expose some reality.

The Lee's family is like another CCP, just that they can speak English, went to elite west university, and used economic prosperity as an excuse to push down on dissident or threaten to their power. Singapore is somewhat suppressed and not necessarily free. I agree that Singapore is still most favorable, but there are considerable factors to not move out there.

Interesting. Was that the original IBM PC? I thought it needed DOS for some reason.

I've always thought that using BASIC as the default command line was really weird... Like on an Apple II or TRS-80. You could type in a command to load something from a disk or run a program, or type a line number to start programming. How did that make sense to anyone?? To my 11yo self, it was confusing and I've never changed my mind.

I don't see how that follows. If I can do X in any location, that doesn't mean X is something that is a target for automation.

Offshoring and automation are partially orthogonal. Offshore the jobs that can't be automated, automate the jobs that can't be done elsewhere, retain the humans for high-skill or high-touch jobs that resist the first two threats.
You can fit more tabs while still being able to read them, basically.
‘Reply-guy‘ is subjective, and a bit reductionist and has a somewhat negative connotation. It’s used to describe unwanted attention from a specific person or a specific type of person, which is also subjective. It goes further than simply replying a lot and generally being active on Twitter. Not to be a lexical prescriptivist, just aiming for clarity of description of usage and NPOV.

Compilers can be made more simple, saving the time of expert compiler authors to work on improving their compilers in other ways. This lines up with some of the other listed goals,

> Syntax should parse with bounded, small look-ahead.

> No semantic or contextual information used when parsing.

i.e. drop features from the language that significantly complicate the compiler.

> What happened to the idea that systems require programming languages, not the other way around?

My wife has been looking for a remote accounting job for nearly a year with no success. We’re in a rural area, and she has a local job with a large national company right now but has no desire to keep working there. I have an established photography business in the area and both of our families are local, so moving isn’t much of an option.

I’m really hoping this opens up some doors for her. She’s miserable where she is and has applied to quite a few positions with no bites.

As I have asked a few coworkers, sometimes repeatedly, over the years:

Do you have a bus number of one because nobody cares, or because nobody cares enough to put up with the code (or worse, you).

You have to entice people in sometimes, and many of us are great at other things but terrible at this.

Japanese new recruit fired for being out of frame during video meetings
I’m unsure about the first past, as far as I understood it, they wanted to prevent the election of a new chairman until the next elections. Mostly because in the current legislature the pan-democrats don’t hold a majority, which is expected to change in September. So they wanted to prevent new laws (like the national anthem law) to be pushed through

The last part is difficult, both sides sought legal advice, both were contradicting each other. Eventually the pro-China side pushed through with their advice, which resulted in clashes and eventually the eviction of pan-democracts.

All in all; it’s an absolute mess, and not expected to get any better. China is already circumventing the HK government by pushing for a national security law. (Which was supposed to be implemented over the past 23 years)

Agree on the part about China threatening since the 60s. If I recall correctly, there was a wave of movement on British Colonies raising referendum on independence from Britain since the 60s ? Hong Kong did not earn that right due to Communist China's threat on "liberating" Hong Kong if it was given independence.

You've got no idea what simple or complex means.

If you had asked for a 3 or 4 cameras with 5mm lenses on 25x25mm base boards connected by MIPI ribbon cables under your collar to a few Raspberry Pis and a big battery in a backpack, you can do that today with off-the-shelf hardware for half your budget. They won't be synchronized, you can do that after the fact in your video editor. Getting someone to hold your hand and configure it for you will still cost the rest of your budget, but it's job done.

Or buy an off-the-shelf 360 degree action camera with included mounting pole and just use that.

Miniaturizing it into an ASIC and custom optics? That's man-years of effort and hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Quantity and access to information is only one side of the equation. The other side is relevance and the meaning that information affords us. If it doesn’t help us orient ourselves better in the world, if we can’t make sense of it, that information is useless, or even harmful. Decohered is the right word, but I don’t think it is only a product of the drastic increase in virality of memes. It is also our sense-making apparatus being broken or hugely behind the information influx that is created by the platform. This like informational obesity, influx of calories that can’t be translated into nutrition. Right now youtube’s policy layer and recommendation algorithms are the only machinery for deciding relevance and sense making on this exponential transfer of information happening. A black box machinery built for maximizing ad revenue, will naturally fall short on making us wiser, relevant or coherent. In fact, it is more natural for ad revenue maximizing to align better with us being more consumptive, polarized and addicted.

In this case the keys are secure, since the calculators moved from 512 bit keys to 2048 bit keys. But the proposal was more about general RSA cracking, and there are a whole lot of 1024 bit keys out there that could be cracked by a cryptocurrency-scale network.

But even with current tech and current methods, 2048 is doable long before the sun burns out. Bitcoin's approaching 2^80 hashes per day, on par with 1024 bit RSA. Rope in 10x as many computers and you could crack 2048 bit RSA in a mere billion days, give or take some constant factors.

The sun's way too small to supernova anyway. It will become a red giant that blows off the outer layers and leaves behind a white dwarf.

Also, you can try to find info leaks from public companies. For instance, back when Fitbit only sold one device for one price. Roughly one user profile meant one sale. The profile page was just /profile/[Base58 Encoded Number] and the number was a sequential ID. I was able to predict their earnings pretty well for a quarter or two but then they started selling more devices and the correlation was made more uncertian. If you find something like that. A tangible signal, it's on inherent worth to *funds.

Assembly language was easier too. ;-) I found a book, I think it was published by Howard Sams but sold at Radio Shack, on the Z80 microprocessor. Now I had no particular reason to favor the Z80, but it was available so I bought it. There was another book on TTL logic. The Z80 book was so well written that I gained a grasp of how a microprocessor works, back when there weren't things like pipelines and microcode to blow your mind. But I learned about how pointers work, buses, etc.

The closest thing I'm aware of today, that are actually useful, are the 8 bit PIC chips.

My first foray into BASIC was BBC BASIC. I was an 11 year old in the eighties and attending comprehensive secondary school in the UK.

We had a school 'computer room' which hosted ten BBC Micros. The mathematics teacher at the time ran an after school computer club and it was alleged that the last 30 minutes were unstructured and some students had managed to get a cassette tape copy of Elite (now Elite Dangerous) loaded onto some Micros. This absolutely blew my mind and I had to get in there somehow. The problem was I knew nothing about computers and I had no computer at home to practise on (this was also not likely to change as I was part of a financially stretched single parent family).

What I did manage to do however, was get a copy of Computer Weekly from WH Smiths. This particular edition was running a monthly section on 'Programming in Basic'. Now as said I had no computer, but I was not deterred into letting that stop me, so I wrote my first program on some A4 paper. As with many first time programmers, It was a text based adventure game with a multiple choice engine:

You find yourself facing the dragon. Do you?

A, Fight the dragon
B, Run away
C, Use the magic potion the elf gave you.
D, Do nothing.

The program itself consisted of nothing more than print statements, capturing user input and then conditionals leading to "goto line X" statements. Quite soon this got hugely un-manageable and I realised this programming stuff was not as easy as I thought. Somehow though, I summoned the confidence to take it to the math teacher for his feedback and thought perhaps he might see some promise in me sufficient to get me into the club. He leafed through a few pages and said I could join. He later told me that he was more impressed that someone would attempt such an effort, more than myself showing any sort of genius.

Years later now, that snotty nosed inquisitive 11 year old is now a Principal Engineer with a long career spent building many, many systems with many engineers. I have always remained a software engineer , while colleagues have drifted off into management. I will be honest, I am still as excited about tech as I was when I was young upstart. I am also still all to willing to take risks, fail and bite off more that I can chew. In reflection that sense of false bravado is what has led to my career being as successful as it has been. It's never been about how beautiful my code is or how well I understand the deep idiomatic nature of whatever the new language is. It’s been my naive over confident nature to always take on more than I can handle.
