The 5x speedup does nothing for me - I want to use a stable, widely adopted, well documented tool, with convenient deployment and lots of available pretrained models for transfer learning. Julia is very far from it right now.
It'll take them 6-12 months just to go through their legal, privacy, finance, etc processes. That's assuming they've decided to use you.

You should also expect to hire or contract a lawyer as they're going to want a custom contract rather than use your terms of service. There is a good chance they'll have their own contract but you can also have them modify yours. Expect several rounds of contract editing.

Getting stuff into a big company is a process. Source: I work at a big company and it's a pain in the ass to buy anything.

Honestly don't be surprised if you have a year of positive conversations and then it fizzles into nothing. Or don't be surprised if they're super excited but their legal or privacy teams shut down the deal.

Sales with big companies just takes time and can fall apart in many ways.

I also read that you may not exist in a year. Maybe it's worthwhile to consider an acquisition or acquihire by them?
I literally did that as I was scrolling my eyes down and read your post. So...stop watching me, creep.
Ultimately that's the case. But the board may decide to reject the offer without doing a shareholder vote. (That's probably what they will do). That's when the shareholders sue.

Yes, in some cases, teams want an experiment to back them up.

If a decision maker cannot dedicate the necessary resources to properly power a test, it arguably would be more rational to use another process to make the decision. Perhaps a thoughtfully designed team discussion or even a 'Person P will make the decision because the uncertainty is relatively high, consensus is relatively low, and additional discussion is unlikely to clarify -- meanwhile we could go ahead and try the thing and see what happens!"
What do we want? G100UL! When do we want it? As soon as possible!
Is that the cycle? I've been using Twitter for 10+ years and I doubt I'll stop anytime soon. Heck, I still use Reddit daily despite it having been in steady decline for many years now.

Personally, I suppose that the internet has become significantly more stable over the years.

You don’t care what the statement it proves is, and just an assurance of the conclusion would often be not valued
Yes, that's what I meant.

Why isn't there a widely interoperable audio-over-the-network transmission protocol I can use, so that when I am playing sound (from a song, a video, or a game), I can hear it on an external speaker? [The scope is just a 'virtual hardware audio device endpoint' like bluetooth audio]
So far he's played it all perfectly. No matter how it ends up, fascinating drama to watch.
> they are making dangerous progress

Twitter has 400 million users GLOBALLY. How many are bots? How many are active? How many are "anti-capitalists"?

Twitter is not representative of anything except twitter.

I find this very difficult to believe. The actual tea that is in an Arizona iced tea I'm guessing maybe costs ~5c or so, if that? Surely the packaging, water, sugar, transportation and storage costs are the vast, vast majority of the cost.
Heart rate variability & resting heart rate. Resting heart rate was up 5-7 BPM and HRV was down 10ms. It has since recovered.
> Do you think removing Trump was pro-democracy?

Yes, absolutely. A former president was undermining trust in the democratic system with no evidence of wide spread fraud, who encouraged people to attack the capital during the peaceful transfer of power, who was also encouraging people to subvert the election process at the state level. He and his assosciates had an anti-democratic plan to keep him in power.
If you're American I'm sure you can relate to the Chinese here. I almost never think about the millions of dead Iraqi people my tax money contributed to
I’d probably try to copy what someone did in the show “Undercover Billionaire”. Though I’m not that talented so I’d fail.
That fate seems unlikely for Twitter, it's right now the go-to place for last-minute info on Putins invasion of Ukraine.

After that who knows. Well, apparently Elon Musk knows.
> What fascinates me is that the authors of The Asset Economy are not talking about what anthropologist Dave Graeber called the 1 percent—the Trumps and the Murdochs, the very, very rich. What about the, say 19 percent of Americans in the upper-class income tier, who will defend their right to be landlords, to increase their unearned wealth through their investments?

This is something I want to drum from the rooftops - the political effects of a handful of billionaires is vastly overrated compared to the sheer number of "merely" wealthy people. Your local zoning issues aren't because Jeff Bezos has taken a personal interest in destroying the lives of poor people in your neighborhood, it's because there are enough doctors and lawyers and children of doctors and lawyers acting selfishly to protect their investments.

In this regard, I wish more people would read Progress and Poverty. The book is a lightning flash of clarity. Especially in the last decade, it has become shockingly prescient.
In the early 2000s McDonald's hamburgers were 39 cents on Wednesdays. I would never have survived grad school without it!
I still wish multi-column CSS got more love. (It exists but it has seen more regressions in browser support than fixes for its papercuts.) Newspapers figured out centuries ago that good multi-column layouts are great for reading and it's kind of sad that web-browsers still aren't great at "newspaper" layouts. We could much better take advantage of our wide (and ultra-wide) screens with nice multi-column layouts than anything we could get away with just max-width alone.

https://github.com/satoshilabs/slips/blob/master/slip-0039.m... :

> Shamir's secret-sharing provides a better mechanism for backing up secrets by distributing custodianship among a number of trusted parties in a manner that can prevent loss even if one or a few of those parties become compromised.

> However, the lack of SSS standardization to date presents a risk of being unable to perform secret recovery in the future should the tooling change. Therefore, we propose standardizing SSS so that SLIP-0039 compatible implementations will be interoperable.
The flipside is that the old ways enabled institutions to lie to the people more easily. Remember Iraq? I just bring this up to keep us from getting rose-tinted nostalgia glasses about how much better things were before.

Another caveat to what I'm about to say is that I think we're in for a century of legal and political upheaval, so long term solutions will need to fit into whatever we build next.

That said, I think that there some things we could do.

I'd like to see/hear more about looking into the possibility of regulating sentiment, for example. Maybe you can write any POSITION you want on culture war issue X, but you can't write it in such a way it's only meant to inflame anger/cause despair/etc. Or perhaps you can, but you have to have some kind of warning label, or that content is allowed but turned off/blurred by default (like NSFW pics on Reddit), so you have to actively go out of your way to consume things that are 'bad' for you.

Also give people more tools and nudges. Like let people click through a Twitter profile and see that 80% of a person's Tweets are angry or about political topics. Somebody brought up tax policy as an example of something that doesn't get this treatment, and that's because tax policy is BORING and Slate/Newsmax aren't writing hit pieces about tax policy. People care about culture topics because the media whips them into a frenzy.

We could also force the companies to do due diligence in their R+D/feature implementations; maybe Twitter should be forced to prove that each new algorithm change makes people HAPPIER (or at least doesn't have terrible mental health effects).

Also I advocate for digital history and basic internet infrastructure information to be taught at the K-12 level; so much of the problem is that people don't understand how any of this works at a VERY BASIC level.
It's a Constitutional Republic.
I too found bluetooth to be unreliable.

For that reason, I have extensively worked with pulseaudio over network. There is no UI that works for this. NTP for some reason is important which seems like bad design to me. zeroconf doesn't work at all.

Once you get it working... dont dare change anything. It will break in inexplicable ways that drive you up a wall.
>This whole article seems to be implying that the situation is some sort of moral failing of people who drink "natural wine" but if there's a problem here it's the underlying inequality, not the choice of wealthy people to spend money on veblen goods?

The trick is that the article isn't about anything, really. There might have been a smattering of true facts in there, but the authors profession is getting paid to paint generational stereotypes and then talk shit about them.
Publishing companies are already liable for their content.

The argument is that, instead, these other, non-publishing, major communication platforms should be treated how we run other major communication platforms in the past, such as the telephone network.

We have existing laws, that could be extend to cover other communication platforms.

Telephone companies have been required to do certain things for decades, and the world hasn't collapsed because of it.
Unfortunately the most marginalized people in any society are often treated badly. That's different from a society like China's, where anyone can be disappeared for any amount of time with impunity if they offend a powerful person. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/what-drives-high-profile-...

If you're upset about what was happening in the US during the 1950s, definitely don't learn anything about what was happening in China at that time. Mao, Stalin, and Hitler are all vying in Hell for the title of Most Lethal Human Being Ever.
SolarCity was a worthwhile cause at least. He often says that money isn't his motivator and I believe him about that. And something may yet come of it.
I would definitely use a framework if at all possible, but symmetric encryption where the key stays on the server side shouldn't be too big a footgun.
No it's not, and I've used it long before that show was around. So much so that the title of that show was just as amusing as this title of this thread.
While they're writing regulations about it, I wish they'd mandate a standard for rechargeable batteries for the lawn equipment. As it stands, we get proprietary standards like cordless power tools where batteries have something like 90% margins.

What other reason could the billionaires possibly have for owning these companies? I doubt it's out of the goodness of their hearts and given the success of their other businesses probably isn't about making money.

This is just robber barons all over again and to believe otherwise one would have to be pretty ignorant of America's history. Chomsky's best insights are about how this kind of control actually works and it isn't really that journalists are censored by owners (though this does occasionally happen).
I do love reading about how unbelievable stuff elon does is. He should frame all the quotes. SpaceX had lots of these including from the heads of europe and russia space programs.

Does he have perhaps more of a vision for twitter than current mgmt?

Did his involvement increase / decrease the stock price?

If they turn him down could he build something for lets say $20B in spending?

Going to be some interesting times.

And by the way, twitter DID invite him to be on the board with the requirement he not get more stock.
You know this sounds just as „just dont be depressed“?
It seems like you have accomplished a lot and now you are in mid life crisis of what to do next. I would say if you have financial freedom already, why not do some things where you help others like volunteer etc ? I mean serious work and not just a weekend thing. We tend to live for ourselves so much that we sometimes forget we could give back to this world in our own ways. May be that will give your life some meaning ?

I say this because I am myself sometimes feeling lost even though I haven't accomplished as much as you and one thing that puts a smile on my face is when I help someone else, someone who is less privileged than me. I am now trying to find ways to really help others directly (not just donating etc but doing actual work).

Probably get flamed for this, but pulseaudio is good enough for IP networks and handles delay calculation pretty well, when used via multicast it's reasonable but a lack of ecosystem means non-linux support is poor and control is basically non existent, but I did operate pulseaudio as my home audio for TV/PlayStation/phone audio for a time, with some extras like casting receivers etc it's almost useful, but not convenient (there is a gap here someone could fill)
I think it fits in that he is engineering electrical vehicles. He is building the tech base. He will need that.
One can compare lead added to gasoline with carcinogens added to cigarettes. Both were introduced to make the use of the product smoother, and with it came massive health issues, and both industries funded fraudulent studies to create the false impression the product was safe. While carcinogens are still added to cigarettes, and will be forever since while the government's case against Big Tobacco revealed the practice, banning the practice was not included in the settlement for inexplicable reasons, and most of the massive fine was ultimately forgiven by the early naughts. Oddly, health issues are not the reason why leaded gasoline was phased out; it was phased out because leaded gas fowled catalytic converters, which were mandated to reduce emissions.
There sort of is, RTP/RTSP, and in fact it's been around since the earliest pre-web days of the Internet.

The problem is that it's a protocol with a ton of warts -- having two connections, one UDP and one TCP, has been a massive headache for decades now. But it's not awful enough to get ripped up and redone.

The Asterisk VOIP platform had a really awesome protocol called IAX that was basically RTP with the two streams merged into a single UDP connection (and a bare-bones TCP-like reliability layer for the control frames inside of UDP). IAX was never meant for anything other than VOIP, but I wish it had been turned into a wholesale replacement for RTP. If that had happened, it would have been wonderful.
I use bitwarden for my families account. My wife has her own that i setup and got working on her phone/browser. I wish she used it more but she DOES use it for the "org" account and shared info (cc, passwords etc).

Email i use on a gsuite legacy domain and have for a very long time. It allows us to move email around if needed. We still have some older gmail accounts as backup, but rarely use them. Ill probably move to something else, Mail in a box on a linode or protonmail. The problem is i havent found a 1:1 feature, between google voice for voicemail and junk phone #, and contact syncing.

On the network i manage that. Use opnsense with unifi for wifi and a few vlans. We dont have cable, so roku's/ROKU tvs get their own DMZ and we have plex and a few streaming services.

I also help manage my parents network. So they have a pfsense appliance (setup and bought well before all the nonsense) and it has a VPN connection to my house, with a similar Unifi wifi network.

All of our stuff is MFA enabled and i just handled the setup on her phone etc, gave and setup yubikeys etc.

Outside of my parents and wife/family, i dont really get involved. I really dont want to. My in-laws I have helped do things for like setup some wifi extenders etc. But their needs are more simple and dont require the complexity my parents do (that WFH and run a business from home with a larger layout.)
That's your burden of "proof" that Elon has indicated he'd fire most employees?
Yahoo actually returned more than Microsoft for a while, up until about 2017, thanks to their huge stake in Alibaba. Twitter doesn't have that tho, they're entirely tied to their mediocre product.

Killing Vine was the dumbest thing they ever did.
Does having supporting parents undermine any success a self made person might have ?
If I didn't have a sewer in my city they would throw their shit on the streets like they did 150 years ago.

Virgil is at it again.

I met him at a summer school a couple of years ago, a remarkable character. He developed WikiScanner, which exposed the "beautification" of U.S. politician's Wikipedia pages, conducted from the White House and other government building's IP addresses, which was creative and in the public interest.

I'm surprised that giving a talk about blockchain and crypto-currencies would be considered that sensitive, as the whole Web is full of (open source) software and instructions how to use Ethereum, the ETH currency and related stuff.

> Griffith: I need to send 1 [REDACTED UNIT OF CRYPTOCURRENCY] between North and South Korea. Other Guy: "Isn't that in violations of sanctions?" Griffith: It is.

Strange: The Virgil Griffith that I met was very smart, not sure if he would have had such an exchange in an unencrypted medium. He came across as an ultra-tech savvy prankster that had also hacked his high school's payment system (he did not say that because he was prevented under court order, so he just quipped "google me").

Here's an EdTech talks he gave 2019: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymGl84RORLQ

Edit: I was wondering about that strange redaction of "[UNIT OF CRYPTOCURRENCY]". Clearly, as he is working on Ethereum, that one has the ETH currency, so likely it was that. Could the unredacted just say "1 ETH" (not a secret)? Then the transfer would have just been symbolic, not actually evading sanctions at scale. On the other hand if he was (allegedly) talking about 1 million ETH or BTC then it would smell more like a serious crime, assuming for a moment that exchange really happened. [BTW, 1 ETH = ~$3,000 versus 1 BTC = $40,000 at the moment, so the unit makes an order of magnitude difference.]
Life is, or can be, about much more than work. You could be at mid-life crisis, it’s real and you’re exactly the right age.

Exercise, make sure your needs (quality time, intellectual engagement, emotional connections, nutritional, family quality) are being addressed. If you’re burnt out, take time for you. As codegeek wrote, consider volunteering. Making a meaningful difference, even small ways, to others is way more important than making bank once you’re adequately set.

If you can live a reasonable quality life without employment for the rest of your days, you’ve hit the lottery. Be totally psyched, and use your freedom. Wish I was in your shoes.

> Them increasing the size of the percentage-based cut suggests that the work Amazon does (logistics, selling access to the users' eyeballs) would be more sensitive to inflation than what the manufacturers and sellers do. Seems unlikely.

For fulfilment? That's extremely heavily dependent on three things: fuel, amortized vehicle costs, and labor. Major drivers of inflation before the invasion were tight labor market in the post-COVID rebound, vehicle costs, and fuel, and the invasion added further pressure on fuel, so, yeah, I’m going to say it's perfectly reasonable to expect that fulfillment costs have gone up in relation to finished consumer goods before fulfillment.
The reason this bothers me in principle, is that whatever the side of politics you are, the "public" will have effectively zero control on affecting any board decisions at Twitter, moderation-wise or otherwise.

Its true that the public had little say in that regard till now but at least this buyout threat shows that it is "possible" to stand up to whatever decisions their board makes.

As an aside, I doubt people and governments would have the same confidence in Twitter were it a private company, which leaves me to believe that this whole buyoff thingy is just a power play by Musk to gain some power over the board without actually joining the board.
Thanks for the feedback!
The site currently allows you to create one personal list that you can sync across all browsers, but I have plans to allow creating several lists and sharing some of them publicly

The main complexity will actually be in the frontend: how to make it easy to edit several instances, and check in what list you'll add a new filter?
I missed the connection between your comment and its parent comment. Would you please elaborate?

Perhaps you are thinking about a situation where the result of an AB test is accepted and incorporated into a product without reflection on the associated factors and context?
How? The laws absolutely allow for hostile takeovers. If Twitter gets to determine what to censor because it's a corporation, well, they get to get bought like one too.
