Could they have implemented a voting ring detector instead, and not based it on what the content is?

I wonder if toxic content on Twitter could be dealt with more by limiting content that only gets engaged in an extremely polarizing way, with lots of brainless replies, or maybe content that is way more interesting to a person's followers than the rest of Twitter should be voting-ring-censored.
Here it is.

Slack was supposed to save us from email. It actually made things worse on its own, and email never went away either. Slack has turned into an unrelenting firehose of noise and distraction, and it lacks the tooling necessary to make it actually serve all the roles it fills in most orgs.

Something slower, more purpose built, with a much richer set of controls around notification processing (read/unread isn’t enough when it’s a work ask) would serve us all much better.
I'm very glad to hear that. Thank you!
I disagree, but that wasn't the argument I was objecting to.
1. Not in the sense we normally understand it. They’re interfering with a massive tactical misinformation campaign that’s attempting to weaponize their platform. It’s in the same bucket as banning ISIS from using their platform as a recruiting tool.

2. Yes, but it’s a real problem that they’ve created a platform where it’s necessary for them to do this.

3. Oh, absolutely. This is not a situation we want to be in.

4. No.

The harder question is how do we get out of this situation, and if its possible at all without shutting down all the social networks.
Feelings^W "pattern matching"
I still don't see your point. The way we do AI today is that we have a static dataset, train a fuzzy function and then let it do work in production. The production model doesn't identify when it makes mistakes and update itself like every animal does. Ants does this. They don't do it perfectly, but they do it.

So the way I see it until AI starts meaning only models that updates themselves as they evaluate input it is a pointless term. Currently basically every single instance of AI you see people talk about are just dumb immutable functions.

Edit: And to clarify, I believe it is impossible to reach human level intelligence without having a model that mutates itself as it tries to solve the problem. Humans are smart since we learn while doing, not that we first take a long course before we start doing.

This is part of the reason that in some countries it is illegal report anything significant about an active investigation. You don't want to pollute the witness pool - even if what is reported is 100% categorically true, the fact that someone might know something they otherwise wouldn't have known is bad for an accurate and just investigation.

Everyone forgets the Swedish empire. And the man whose name is a synonym for traitor, Vikrund Quisling. Scandinavia has hardly escaped war.

It figuratively kills me that I live in an area where three of the five closest teams to me are blacked out on MLB.tv but they're all far enough that it would take several hours of driving to actually go to a game in-person and the local TV stations don't air those games. It's actually pretty much completely killed my interest in baseball since I can't watch any of the teams I actually care about.
Running a dual stack IPv4/IPv6 network at minimum doubles the amount of work network engineers need to do on a daily basis. Consider something as simple as a ping monitor to determine if a device is up or down now has to test for both IPv4 and IPv6 reachability.
I don’t know if someone appreciates these anecdotes, I went to the same school [0] as Nietzsche. In the school records there are two stories of him receiving punishment.

The first is pretty relatable for an adolescent in Germany, he was found drunk in a ditch after having a few beer.

The second: He ate a sausage behind a pillar in the cloister. (At the time you were just allowed to eat in the dining hall during the appropriate times.)

So every time someone uses Nietzsche in an argument, I imagine a pubescent guy saying the thing while mumbling a sausage behind a pillar. Of course in my imagination he has the Nietzsche beard as well.

On a more earnest note, Nietzsche clearly was a great mind. Which was later eaten away by neurosyphilis.

The vast majority of essays submitted to HN don’t reach the front page because the author isn’t famous. Whereas PG rockets to the top of the front page within an hour of submission.

Even then, the average HN comments section is highly sceptical of any claims in any post. The top comment is usually critiquing the link for one reason or another. For some reason, that wasn’t the case with PG articles. You’re only remarking about this now because HN is finally holding PG to the same standard that others are.
My own distinction between ML and AI (which I agree with the article that marketing buzzheads do not care about) is that one is a set of optimization techniques not necessarily involving an agent, and the other involves an agent, who needs to make (intelligent) decisions. The decisions themselves may rely on said ML-based optimization techniques, or they might not. Similarly, optimization techniques may employ an agent-based approach, but equally they may not.

I find it funny how people try to declare H265 a winner when it will most likely never land in Chrome or Firefox. Safari has its user base, especially on mobile, sure. But it will never gain any momentum on the web until Chrome supports it. Which will never happen, as Google fully stands behind AV1.
I don't really care what legal straws he grasps at, though. I say go for it. Any challenge only serves to strengthen our democracy, excepting any that succeed in spite of being wrong.

I have so far seen no reason to worry about the latter bit.
I think I'm probably at a similar stage with regards to vim usage. I have mixed feelings about it, but it seems that VSCode has spread itself into my consciousness in the way that I had hoped vim would. With VSCode, I know how to quickly select a word, jump the selection to a multiselect, and rapidly selection by words or lines that I wish to edit simultaneously, all without touching the mouse. It's gotten to the point where selecting or jumping a word with alt-arrow is reflexive instead of `w`, where `ctrl-D` and `alt-down` are more reflexive than the more composable alternatives in vim. This ALL was supposed to be vim! Damn you VSCode!

I wouldn't be bothered by this except I compose Unix tools quite a bit, so it's like I'm maintaining two separate working environments. If I had just started with vim (or emacs) from the get-go, then these two worlds would eventually meet. I've even got my own handful of extensions to send things from VSCode to the integrated terminal and back as a sort of poor substitute for the things that emacs and vim have been doing for decades. I'm pretty sure that I'm an idiot.

Why not? I don't see a blocker except for the money to create a team and the computational resources. I think AlphaGo/Zero was harder to replicate than this, still Leela's team managed to get it working.

This is why I get so frustrated with people justifying continued shutdowns "until it's cured by the vaccine". Almost every highly contagious virus mutates quickly. Same with bacteria. The cat is already out of the bag, even if we do manage to completely eradicate it it'll take years. (To be clear I'm not against virus control measures, I'm just frustrated with the flawed reasoning that all this will just go away when the vaccine is within reach. It couldn't be easier to get a flu shot and yet we'll probably be dealing with the flu long into the future. If we know this will stretch into say 2022 I have to imagine that will change a lot of peoples attitudes as to how society should react)
Though I posted the study, I do want to see more work in that area to repeat the observed effects or to refine the KPIs. For example, I am personally skeptical of the notion of "number of defects per release" and want to see an exploration of "amount of time spent on defects per release".

Science doesn't tell us anything (that would be authority or religion), and it doesn't prove things. It is a process that can assist us in logically determining what is NOT true about a cause-effect relationship to the point where we can make more accurate and practical predictions about those causes and effects. More experiments refine the current beliefs.
I personally believe the following principles:

1. While reading, remember every writer has an agenda, and that you read a specific point of view, and there may be others

2. Differentiate between facts and opinions while reading

3. Actively expose yourself to an opposite opinion about the subject

Number 3 is the most important.

I just fundamentally disagree that this can be reduced to the philosophy and principles. I've consistently objected to Twitter doing this kind of thing in the past, and I don't want them to continue doing it in the future, but this one situation is a very special case.

Similarly, "DXF has an architecture similar to a dice base of drawings"

Perhaps they meant "database"?

Anyways, this article is basically content-free, so if you've come to the comments first, I wouldn't recommend it!
No there is basically no NAT with IPv6, apart from some very niche edge cases.

NAT is expensive.
The trial in the court is a legal challenge. I don't really have a problem with Trump (or Biden) supporters being rallied. Why does "rally his base" have a bad connotation in your mind?
I don't have all the answers, but many G7 governments have been working on laws to hold social media accountable for hate speech, including Canada, where hate speech online is not legal.

Pornhub (based in Canada) recently decided to allow uploads only from verified accounts due to political pressure. Twitter/Fb could also require ID verification, for example. They basically already do (require a cell number after account creation), but it's not enforced in all countries.

Anyway, no magic bullet, but if they are held accountable, they will find solutions pretty quickly, as Pornhub did.
20+ years isn't enough?

More seriously; for 99% of people their ISP router handles NAT and firewall duties. Adding DENY ALL inbound and ALLOW ALL outbound isn't a great stretch for them on ipv6.
Every time I upload a video of me playing a "classical" work (Bach, Chopin, Mozart) on the piano, I get a YouTube warning and the content blocked. So far, about two dozen times, I challenge it and it comes back, but I expect someday to exceed some threshold and be gone forever.

Some of the challengers are "scam" companies, but other times it's Deutsche Gramophone or Sony.
I've tried the Vim plugin for VSCode a few times personally, but I don't trust it. It's incomplete, and it has its own secondary understanding of history that can get you into trouble when it interacts poorly with VSCode's own history. Anyway, that was my experience for my short time using it.

I'm curious if there are any longtime vim users using VSCode with the Vim plugin, and if so, what are their experiences, and why do they use VSCode with a Vim plugin instead of just using vim itself?
The front page is ordered by

(number of upvotes) / (time in hours+1)^1.6 * (a lot of penalties)

, where 1.6 is a number that changes from time to time, so it may be different now, but something between 1.5 and 2.

There are a lot of penalties, some are automatic, some are added when the users flag the post, some are added by the mods.
You need v4 as well in the world today. Lots of users still have no v6, if your business wants to do business with them you need some v4.
I strongly disagree. This is the equivalent of using SLAPP lawsuits to muddy the waters and prevent moving forward.
Bit awkward but I'll use the example I had in mind. What would have happened if people stopped Hitler from standing in beer halls blaming Jews for everything. He wouldn't have been able to gather a following and influencer so many people and so many lives would have been spared. I use the Hitler example, because what we're seeing is Trump trying to grasp power not via a vote but undermining the vote and is stirring up tensions pretty much like Hitler.

I get everyone thinks free speech is essential, but we live in a world where free speech is not a thing for very valid reasons. Germany only promises freedom of opinion; they don't actually promise you can tell anyone that opinion, try denying the holocaust. And in Germany, you're not legally allowed to insult someone (civil matter, but still not legal), in Berlin, and someone got convicted (eventually overturned but the fact it happened is massive) for farting on a police officer. The US, which claims to be the centre of freedom, has one of the lowest press freedoms and a multitude of laws to keep things secret. There are things that we know people shouldn't be allowed to say. Freedom of speech is a myth and should not be used to enable the destruction of democracy or to spread propaganda (in any sense).

I'm sure the majority of people here would agree terrorism propaganda videos shouldn't be hosted on twitter or youtube, and people shouldn't be allowed to promote terrorism. Well, this is basically the same, in many of the Trump supporter stuff, I've seen calls for domestic terrorism.

Also, I think a lot of people don't realise why we're seeing an increase in companies stepping up here. Biden has offically won, now. All states have certified who won. The election is over. All that can be done now is stirring up hate and starting a civil war.
> Do you think there are many people here that would support a breakdown of the democratic process, a coup? I'd hope that those people are in the vast minority.

Your naivete is being taken advantage of by bad faith actors.
Fun police showed up!

Ted Cruz actually seems like a good sport about the meme:

> Ted Cruz acknowledged the meme on his official Twitter account on October 18, 2017, by tweeting an image of one of the Zodiac Killer's encrypted messages.[15] He did so again on October 31 of the following year.[16]
> On the other hand, there is certainly a surveillance camera somewhere quietly humming along for way longer than this, and you could make a photograph by simply averaging all the video frames.

Sure, but that's a different thing, even if the effect is similar.
> It's easy to say that people simply aren't better than this and this will simply continue to happen. I don't completely believe that.

Trusting in people's good nature alone has never worked. If the community doesn't implement some mechanism to control the activity it doesn't want, then it will be done. You can refuse to believe that if you want, but I think you will find that belief challenged by reality.

Not coincidentally, a mechanism of control for dealing with undesirable behavior is exactly what this whole Twitter thing is about in the first place. Since we've agreed that people here are not inherently better than the general populace, what makes you think that HN is more immune to this sort of thing than a community like Twitter or reddit?
Yeah I pulled "Hilton" out of a hat - didn't mean to convey "I only stay in pricey places now". I'll take a Super 8 or a local inn pretty much any day.

So? That isn't the only input to the system. The conclusion here obviously cannot be "then grant no power to anybody" unless you are the most extreme left-anarchist. Power has the capacity to harm but also aid. We must balance the risk of harm against the potential for aid.

The ability to run a standing army can be used for ill. Yet we have an army.

The ability to regulate corporate pollution can be used for ill. Yet we have pollution regulations.

The ability to throw people in prison via the justice system can be used for ill. Yet we have laws and courts and prisons.

They do get charged for their mistakes. When creators lose money, Twitch loses money too. For copyright infringement, humans aren't much any better (see the Katy Perry/Flame lawsuit). Even if the solution was more human review, it would be unprofitable to allow smaller channels to monetize, and inevitably people would complain about that too.
It seems to have multiple issues.

StackOverflow and GitHub could be formatted with great effort, and stuff like language docs. But not blog posts which differ highly in formatting and need to display images, at that point, you're just outputting the webpage in an IDE. You'd also need a way to index/retrieve those blog posts.

But, you also want actual browser features, as tabs are useful for further reading or comparing various things, or something to look at later.

Just using multiple screen displays is good enough.
While a steroid taper has been practice in medicine for a long time, we have found more recently that it is unnecessary in many cases, with specific exceptional thresholds for total dose in prednisone equivalents or total number of days on steroid. 5 days is no longer dogma, and in some evidence now supports that courses as long as 2 weeks (of reasonable doses I am not talking 1 mg/kg for GVHD or ILD or anything along those lines) may be stopped without taper.

Finally, there is emerging data that prolonged tapering may actually worsen outcomes, such as in certain post operative settings.
Twitter does not have a monopoly, let alone is abusing the powers of one.

This was about three years ago, and the codebase was a huge Symfony project, in PHP.

- IDEA understands bindings to Symfony's sprawling YAML configuration files. So jumping between PHP code using a config value and the YAML file defining the value is one shortcut/click away. And more, and more: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/phpstorm/symfony-support.html

- Refactoring: even a small thing like renaming a variable, a method, a config value. Changes propagated through all affected files (with preview of changes). It's impressive even for dynamic languages like PHP: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/phpstorm/refactoring-source-c... For languages like Java? Oooh, boy, see submenues on the left https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/refactoring-source-code....

- Symbol search. You know a function name, you can't remember the file? Symbol search for the function name. It's fuzzy, too. https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/searching-everywhere.htm...

I think searching was the primary thing that drove people to try IDEA. And I've seen it again and again with emacs and vi users: they spend significantly more time searching for code than I do. Because most of the time the best you have grep/ag/ripgrep which just search through files as and leaves figuring out context to the user.

- Usages. Shortcut/Cmd+Click on anything, see where that anything is used/invoked. Without searching. https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/find-highlight-usages.ht... That was another big thing that fascinated people. Very useful in large legacy projects.

This is off the top of my head for that particular job.

But in general, there are significantly more things like identifying errors and suggesting fixes, large-scale refactorings, understading the plethora of test frameworks and letting you run the tests however you like, debugger integrations, stepping through automatically disassembled code for Java and .net during debugging etc. etc.
Honestly between "disabling legacy extensions" on Mac and it being absurdly expensive or beyond your control to install genuine parts, I'm not sure I can bring myself to own another Apple product moving forward.
