The stock market price today is based on the value people EXPECT the company to have at some point, not the one it has. If people expected it to grow much more, and it doesn't, the value falls to the level it possibly should've had in the first place.
I knew it was over for Facebook when my 80 year old mother created an account.
Operation Rubicon
It doesn't seem like FB is well placed to provide this experience though, aside from having a pile of money and engineers.

You'd have to think Apple could do the trick with their history of building integrated hardware/software experiences and a similar war chest, but it's also far enough away from the core products of most of the giants that some outsider might get there first.
>> filter out 99% of incorrect solutions

And next year they can filter out 99.99%. And the year after that, 99.9999%. So literally, an exponentially greater number of monkey/typewriting units. (An AI produced Shakespeare play coming soon).

>> we have no clue at all what that actually is and how these model learn

This is why I'm super cool-to-cold about the AI/deep learning classes being sold to young people who would otherwise be learning fundamental programming skills. It appears to me like trying to teach someone to ride a horse before they understand what skin, bones, muscles, animals, and horses are.

>>get anywhere close to human (expert) capability in any sufficiently complex domain

You can get close enough to scalp a lot of billionaires, but at the end of the day it's always going to be human coders banging our heads against management, where they ask for shit they can't visualize and it's our job to visualize how their employees/customers will use it. Yes it involves domain specific knowledge, but it also requires, er, having eyeballs and fingers, and understanding how a biological organism uses a silicon-based device. That's kind of the ultimate DS knowledge, after all. Now, lots of coders just copy-pasta a front end, but after all the hooplah here I'd be extremely surprised if in ten years an AI has caught up to your basic web mill in Indonesia when it comes to building a decent website.
Didn't know that. I guess any patron could pull it off. Like watching a table and card counting.
A few years later, the TheDAO hack happens, and Vitalik and friends pretty much force a fork on the network by spamming FUD and threatening to stop the entire thing because they're losing too much money and they're too big to fail.

Totally different from banks: it's no longer the government deciding to bail them out, it's straight up the bank printing the currency telling people to bail them out or their currency becomes worthless.
Worked at a gas station for years when I was younger, this was a pretty common thing.
This is my sixth night being 100% homeless (on the streets with no vehicle, no private place to go). Sleep for the past five nights has ranged from non-existent to a few nodding hours in long sleeves laying down in various public places.

Compared to a week ago, I finally started to notice cognitive decline today. My words don't come out as smoothly, and I have gaps in thoughts.

Frankly, it's nothing like it was seven years ago after a bad break-up. That time, I got maybe 2-7 hours of sleep a week for a solid two months or so. It is an awful feeling being wide awake, unable to sleep at all, yet: dead tired, suicidal in a persistent 24hr a day drawing-towards-death sense, utterly afraid and unable to actually follow through.

It's odd to me that my situation then was far, far better than it is now. Sleep these past five homeless evenings with a ruined life -- even missing a few nights and only catching a few hours these past few -- are far better than those restless post-breakup nights seven years ago.

My life fell apart since seven years ago in numerous ways. Programming and participation in technology, generally, for me is completely dead and has been for years now. Perhaps the extended sleep deprivation removed any remaining desire to live. I've certainly been dead inside since then, moreso than in the past.

Still unable to finish suicide. The desire doesn't go away, ever. The terrifying fear of death, however, seems unlikely to ever dissipate, so actually completing suicide seems increasingly unlikely as the decades pass. This has been an ongoing desire since grade school.

I am still awaiting the big sleep. It can't come soon enough.

Instagram is monetised to fuck. It’s 50% ads these days. Almost useless and they keep “tweaking” the time line algorithm so nothing is in chronological order and you see the same things again and again. Often from days ago.

WhatsApp is yet to be monetised but doing so is going to be tricky and messy. There are excellent alternatives with the same functionality for free such as Signal that while not a perfect drop in replacement are more than good enough.

If they fuck up WhatsApp they could lose their users very quickly. That’s the trouble with so many messaging platforms. WhatsApp is nothing “special”. I would argue the only “special” service is iMessage due to the exclusivity of iOS although that seems to be more of a US thing than elsewhere.

I think Facebook see they’re in a shit place with WhatsApp which is why they are yet to make any real changes despite owning them for years.

It is the only acquisition they have made that they haven't made any substantial changes to as I honestly think they don't know how to do so and as it is all tied to a persons cell number anyway migration is pretty painless.

People don't need to share a new username with anyone, just blast a message to all their friends with "Hey it's [redacted], I'm using $NewMessageApp now as WhatsApp got all weird with their changes". You get a few people to do that and people happily switch and the network effect takes over.

Most people are using multiple messaging services anyway so it isn't even switching just dropping.

Look at the hell they brought on with their last small change with the privacy policy. You had so much backlash to a small change that they pushed back the deadline and then dropped it altogether.

Imagine actual real monetisation. It would be the end of the service in the blink of an eye.
I feel like even the most egregious offenders I know of in this area are still aware that designing/building planes is far harder engineering than most software projects.

It's not that useful in my part of world. Also, I'm not only interested in pop/rock bands. I also want jazz, classical, movie festivals, etc. That's why I follow handful of small venues, organizers and cultural magazines. It's all very niche and hard to follow otherwise.

For instance there's no way I would find about "Days of Organ music" few months ago. I didn't even know that there's a catholic cathedral with pipe organ in Belgrade, most churches here are orthodox and they don't have pipe organs.

This is just an example. There are other kinds of local interests you can only follow effectively on FB - hiking groups, sales in local music stores, environmental protests, whatever rocks your boat.

Hmm, 278 kWh, that's great for a house, though you need a fairly tall and big water tower for that.
The paper they're referring to is a quasi-satirical piece about double-blind testing. The idea is that if double-blind studies are required for knowledge about medicine, then we have no evidence that parachutes have any affect on saving the lives of people falling from an airplane because it's unethical to give people in a testing environment a placebo, because they would die.

I haven’t been on Facebook for a few years, but I saw the same the last year I was on the site. I had unfollowed everything, except friends. You could go through my entire feed in 3 minutes once a week.

Almost nobody was posting anything, mostly it was shared posts. If it wasn’t for Facebook killing forum and small websites, more people would have left years ago.
Automation bugs are dangerous on any home device. I once accidentally programmed an infinite recursive loop on all the lights in the house so had on and off signals being sent nearly simultaneously. Scary and not a good thing but easy to do particularly with wifi and mqtt messaging. Had to shut main power off. Luckily only one light switch broke.
I think in mechanical metamaterials the characteristic length defining the "metamaterial region" is rather the wavelength of pressure waves in the material you're considering - much like in electromagnetics you want the patterning (cell) length to be much less than the wavelength of radiation. In work like this they are effectively looking at 0.1 Hz or lower - near static loading - so I think pattern size can be quite large (around 600 m wavelength in bulk rubber for 0.1 Hz). This interpretation also replicates the localized behavior in the shock experiment videos. When the platform is dropped an impulse is applied with frequencies above the metamaterial regime for the material, so you see highly asymmetric response through the material - implying that the macroscopic "metamaterial" property characterization is insufficient to predict response, and so analysis must be done at feature scales rather than wavelength scales. The idea being that a "metamaterial" is a structure that can be treated as a bulk continuous material with a particular defined response as long as the interacting frequencies are all sufficiently low (far below the characteristic wavelength of the material).

I think the bending analysis you cite can determine the relative feature sizes desirable for certain "micro-scale" mechanical behavior, but it's possible to build a mechanical "metamaterial" much larger than that as well.
hmm, don't they require you to use your personal facebook account to log into their facebook for work system as an employee? ( Am I just misremembering? )
The modular synth heads who might use this are a niche audience, and they definitely would know what a patch is. If you don't know what a patch is, these aren't the droids you're looking for.

When will we start seeing legislation forbidding employer discrimination against legal cannabis users in the form of drug tests?

No one cares if you've had a drink over the weekend, on your own time, as long as it's not affecting your on-the-job performance. Some companies have parties where alcohol is served, and going for drinks after work is quite common.

Yet so many companies require you to take drug tests before you get hired (and some have regular on-the-job drug tests), to prove you haven't used cannabis in the last 30 days -- even in states where it's legal, and even if you have a prescription for it.

This is obvious discrimination, and I hope one day the law recognizes it as such and forbids it.
I use mikrotik hap ac2. Cost $50. But complicated imo. Extremely versatile though.
I saw this claim elsewhere in this thread as well, but I didn't really get it. Google is going be affected equally by iOS changes. Google does control the Android/Chrome ecosystem, but I don't see how Google could make any changes there that hurt Facebook because of antitrust concerns.

I was all ready to get up in arms and disagree with you but after thinking about it more I actually really like this approach.

I would be more than happy to hear a mechanical engineer or geotechnical engineer's takes on why my software project is bad. Perhaps most of the time their advice will be useless due to lack of context/experience, but if they are nice it's endearing, entertaining, and rarely--but still sometimes--helpful.
The proposal provided here is essentially to give up millions of citizens private information for the benefit of for-profit companies for some better UX. It seems like we could alternatively just improve the government service for better UX instead.
Big Takeaways:

1. The CEOs insistence on "Competition" as the cause for the increased focus on short term impression rates seems pointed at regulators and Congress rather than at investors. This is silly too, Google had no such pressure on impressions and performed rather well just days before.

2. The cat is out of the bag. Facebooks secret sauce was their very HEAVY focus on bottom funnel advertising where they would ascribe suspect numbers that were not Industry standard to "Conversion" objectives (RoAS anyone?). Anyone, anywhere sees an ad at any point in their conversion journey and Facebook would assign a large weighted portion of conversions leading from that individual in their reporting.

3. The big scary underlined headline here should be HOW POWERFUL APPLE IS. They sneeze and change one small thing in the way apps can access their platforms and we see an entire industry shaken.

4. They won't die out quick. These numbers, though not "Growing" as fast as befor or expected to grow as fast (which is the bigger concern), still is much, much , much higher than they need to sustain their business over the next two decades. The big risk though, is the stock price drop which is how the bulk of their pricy talent is paid dropping. Everyone there is currently staring at a 25% pay cut on their stock based comp and that is not a pretty picture for attracting the best kids graduating this year with ambitions of joining a fast growing tech firm or pulling in talent from places like MSFT or GOOG or AAPL who will not want to jump aboard a perceived sinking ship.

In the Phillipines, Facebook is tied in with your mobile provider so most people only got Facebook (when I was there some years ago). Facebook is what some people there called the internet. Definitely a walled in garden, and definitely a strategy by Facebook to create a moat in some countries.
>> While lots of commenters seem concerned about jobs, I look forward to having the dataset oliphaunt and ship computer from Fire Upon Deep someday soon.

I think this is more worthy of debate than anything about DSL models or current limits to problem spaces.

I'm not concerned about my job, but I am concerned about a world where corporate money starts shifting toward managing AIs as beasts rather than coding clever solutions. I'm concerned about it because (1) It has always been possible in theory to invent an infinite number of solutions and narrow them down, if you have the processing power, to those that "work", but, this leaves us in a position where we don't understand the code we're running (as a society) or how to fix it (as individuals). And (2) because learning to manage an elephant, as a beast, is utterly different from learning to build an elephant, and it will lead to a dumbing-down of people entering the trade. In turn, they'll become more reliant on things just working the way they're expected to work. This is a very negative cycle for humanity as a whole.

Given the thing you're looking forward to, it's only about 30 years before no one can write code at all; worse, no one will know how to fix a broken machine. I don't think that's the thing we should advocate for.
BS. Mac defaults dont work for me. The mac natural scroll is anythig but. The default auto screen brightness rarely works right. Same for screen resolution. The text correction always over corrects for me. The smart power manager refuses to start even on pwoer. I could go on. It is landmine of over thinking on my behalf. The cmd tab is not reliable when switching from something to a maximized full screen app and back. I could go on about how i have to fight mac everyday.
I'm not trying to be mean here, but this is your chance to learn now so I say seize it if you find the passion! It might be daunting because the parent commenter is referencing several vast and technical fields, but it's very doable and my preferred way of learning is to start with what is immediately in front of me so I can gain somewhat of an understanding and then dig in every time I don't understand something again (depth first search).

The parent commenter is referencing several fields:

> Sybil attack: https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/computer-science/sybil-....

This is a type of peer-to-peer strategic attack. So you could postulate that this broadly falls under the category of "common p2p network attacks and vulnerabilities". Google that!

> Circuit breaker: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_breaker_design_pattern

This is a type of software pattern for making sure a signal (usually bad) doesn't keep recurring and its blast radius is contained.

> Now you're basically trying to devise a heuristic of what every single attack might look like in terms of transaction volume increase. If you're wrong, the bridge will freeze right when a lot of people want to use it. Plus, you also need to build a price oracle now.

This is blockchain specific, but you can definitely deep dive into how blockchains work to get to a point where you understand the concept of a "bridge", "price oracle", etc.

All this said, some people are more breadth-first-search learners, so, if you find yourself in a situation where this is overwhelming but you still want to know, you can always start teaching yourself fundamentals that lead to these areas. I'm roughly breaking down the stack for you here:

First stack:
* intro to programming (and getting deep into programming in general)
* understanding the basics of an CRUD database app (client-server systems)
* understanding multiple services (microservices and systems architecture)
* distributed systems (consensus algos, time drift + vector clocks, etc.)
* specialization in understanding the blockchain data structure
* specialization in understanding p2p systems and their faults

Faust and the Iliad are works in the public domain with many dozens of translations, most of them trying hard to be "faithful" or "accurate" in one sense or another. When they're retold, adapted, reinterpreted, they're not usually billed as the original work, but rather a retelling or what have you. Joyce didn't stick Homer's name on Ulysses and bill it as an English version of the Odyssey (just set in Dublin to better fit regional tastes and cultural norms). Retellings, adaptations, reinterpretations aren't relevant here at all - I'm not sure why you brought them up in order to defend acts of (poor) translation.

It's almost hard to draw an analogy to other art forms, because they're considered legitimate and no one tries to do this to them. When Cien años de soledad became 100 Years of Solitude, its depiction of sexuality and themes of incest weren't excised to appeal to more conservative anglo sensibilities. When Parasite caused a sensation in the west a couple of years ago, the
version we saw didn't somehow try to pretend it was set in New York or rename Kim Ki-taek to Fred Jones or something. Even genre fiction usually gets treated better than this - something like The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo lost its somewhat unwieldy original Swedish title (Män som hatar kvinnor, "Men Who Hate Women") but otherwise remained defiantly Scandinavian.

Now, I agree that nothing in FFVI specifically is all that bad (the translation has plenty of other issues though), and I agree that some people get unnecessarily bent out of shape about it; changing "pubs" to "cafes", or covering up nude statues or whatever is stupid but doesn't fundamentally change the game. But it's still stupid, and disrespectful to the original work.
