I think having the view always be on something "interesting" would spoil what I personally find enjoyable about this stream. I've had this open in a little PIP window all day while I work. I enjoy the nature sounds and sometimes see a reindeer trot past or a bird, which is cool. And when a moose comes up it's all the more exciting, because it's a unique occurrence. Then you go to the chat and see other viewers excitedly post about how beautiful the moose is. I think if the stream showed something exciting all the time it would take something away from the flare of happiness when you see a moose or other interesting animal in-between the calming sounds of nature.
I think you are reacting too strongly. Really, what's the problem?
This argument, against redistribution from cities to rural areas of a country, seems to also apply against aid from rich countries to poor ones. In both cases, there are less-expensive, less-"developed" places where it is possible to have a family and raise children; richer, more-developed places where all the jobs are; and a flow of people from the former to the latter. These might be called "core" and "periphery".

It's strange but really cool to zoom out and see various meetings between people in different rooms, or when we bring an outside contact into our space for a meeting you can introduce them to coworkers ad-hoc (like a real office).

Swinging by with a guest, like other real world experiences translated into a 2D world, require developing a new set of social norms. For instance, if you're screen sharing through their app, you won't see someone approaching and the screen share feed will show up expanded by default for whomever enters. That can be problematic for a number of reasons (client data, personal info you were sharing with a close coworker, etc.).

We also have recreated games like tag using the confetti feature, have rituals like hitting a lap around the entire space on go karts after code reviews, and occasionally raid Client Experience's office for supplies.

It is a jealous god when it comes to CPU though and since modern JS environments are greedy as well, my fan gets a lot of work.
Only Elitists would say so! Cows are clearly cube shaped, or how would they fit into Tetra packs?
Elon is already rather uninvolved with tesla because of the fight with the SEC.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robyn_Denholm

They also have over 100,000 employees. How much can Musk really be involved in?

Tesla is pretty much on full self driving now, it's basically blue chip and not going anywhere. Yes the trillion $ market cap is due in large part to him.

>Musk is already spread thin, now he’s so unfocused and undisciplined that he’s unable to stop himself from buying an irrelevant social media company as an expensive hobby. It’s the height of hubris.

I couldn't disagree more. He's the richest person in the world, he's so tremendously successful whatever attributes that you want to apply to him is literally only something to learn from. Hubris? Overconfidence? He's basically the world's first trillionaire. He has had how many doubters along the way and he's right every time?

I get why he's buying twitter and it's not about it being a hobby. Sure babylon bee was a catalyst but basically he sees the societal value of twitter. He sees the damage that twitter is doing through their political censorship. By fixing these problems it will provide tremendous value to twitter. He's going to benefit greatly with the purchase.
iPhone browser extensions can only run in the Safari app, not inside other apps that embed it. I read HN through Feedly (which displays each article inside the app), and there’s no way to do any user customization.
This post is spot on, I've seen work load spikes caused by crontab spawning of for/while bash loops of grep|awk|sed etc.. processing large input files where the machine would crawl at periodic intervals.
From the neighbors in the Netherlands: it is interesting to see these local differences as at least in my circles you don't need to get married to become part of the in-laws or other social circles.

Really, most couples I know really only marry when they are already very well established in each-others circles, as sort of a affirmation of their love. Maybe this is also because legally you can achieve the same protections for your children a lot simpler than getting married.

But this doesn't mean the whole of the Netherlands works like that, just my social circles :)
Yes, if you need an appendectomy you will get that sorted very quickly. On other hand if you need knee replacement you might need to wait some months.
Musk for sure will hire a CEO, I can't imagine that he will spend more than a few hours a week a month on Twitter (once the deal has closed and he hired a new management).

The owner of the account is a stalker attempting to extort his victim. Why hasn't he been banned? If I were to make an account tracking a random person's movement I'd likely be banned. Why should it be treated differently when the stalking victim is a celebrity?
On a technicality, if you start calling people 12, bored and possibly even lazy you shouldn't be asking to 'end the discussion' as if you suddenly have been granted the moral high ground.

GPs comment has plenty wrong with it but yours (multiple) does too.
Manually editing the browser search bar isn't something a user should ever need to do.
Beside the technical aspects that others already mentioned, I think there is also a social aspect. PHP vs Node is like the old Apple ads "I'm a Mac vs I'm a PC" where Node is Mac, it is modern and the future, the person is dressed as slacker and taking it cool. PHP is PC, old school with a blazer and pens in his shirt pocket, your class mate who came to school with an attaché case. It is in-group vs out-group.

If you are going to target something, you pick what you think is going to get the most effect, thus you pick the in-group, not the out-group.

PHP is in-group in one area and that is Wordpress, and of course it also constantly targeted.
But at least once you're there, it's Tortoise all the way down.
Elites are people who are at the top of societal hierarchy, in terms of their wealth, influence, status etc. Multimilionaires are part of the elite, regardless of whether they made their money or inherited it.

Ever wanted galleries to be more social and rich of moments?
frames - "a gen-z social gallery". A gallery exclusive for captured moments of different circles of friends. A social media straight out of the camera.

A home for all the casual clicks that you would not post on social media, all the funny and weird moments of different circles of friends that eventually get lost when shared via other chat applications.

Featuring a moment-centric chat system, retrieve and discuss conversations that happened at the time of the moment.

Capturing moments and adding to threads is so easy that you create memories categorized based on threads without even realizing it. You can create multiple threads like one for your dog, one for your loved one, one for your gang, and add your friends to it as well.

This place offers zero noise as you can't add screenshots or memes or, be it, any jpeg file; you can only add what is captured from the camera.

The product is in its early stage and out in play store. We are looking forward to suggestions and thoughts from people for making this product better and probably shedding light in new problems that we can solve.

I never thought I would see this framework in real life myself, but there it is again... I hoped that line of thought died in the mid 40s...
Hardly. What happened to #deletefacebook in 2018, #deleteinstagram? Nothing happened. Billions are still using it regardless of that.

We also still have billions addicted to the new digital crack / cocaine called TikTok. So this is far from 'the end' of social media.

In fact, it is the start of the increasing echo chambers and the ills of social media being used for disinformation campaigns.
> I wonder how the researchers control for the effects of external factors

Since no one else mentioned it: Religiosity is my guess for the key factor. In particular "married couple who had not lived together before marriage" would be strongly correlated with faith.

Religiosity -> Marriage and Religiosity -> Stability.
That particular incident is under intense spotlight, so it will probably not happen and if it happens it will change the course of free speech discussions.

I'm psyched either way. Instead of a faceless organisation with a CEO who can justify anything as his duty to the shareholders, now we will have a directly responsible figure. If Musk fails to deliver on free speech, his persona will be on stake.
The board is simply obligated to entertain the offer, they will reject as it is not in the best long term interest of the share holders. Yes it is monetarily competitive but also Twitter will basically lose most of their users if Elon is in charge. It's no secret that he has alt right motives.

A billionaire should not be able to do this in the first place.

Because of the millions spent in advertising to induce people to choose what the corporations want. Tobacco ads were banned for a reason.
> now he’s so unfocused and undisciplined

A guy who has managed to lead multiple startup companies to huge companies for literally decades threw multiple economic crisis. He is one of the longest running CEO in the auto industry.

Its just amazing to me how people focus so much on 'omg look at how he manages social media' compared to 'simple looking at the actual record of the companies he leads'.

People said the same thing about Neurolink and the Boring Company. And yet neither SpaceX nor Tesla have suffered.

That said, I'm against it too. I just think that the idea that this will collapse Tesla is not realistic.
Depends on how you define success. Market share very likely, the stock price is probably going to crater without him and hype bullshit...
The poison pill prevents Musk from taking over by simply buying 51% of stock, and allows him to proceed only by giving the board an offer they agree to, in which case they'll remove the poison pill.
Not everything is about money
As somewhat of an aside, I think ElonsJet should be allowed to exist but I also think its a terrible thing to do and harassment. Do you not have a right to privacy if you're wealthy? Could I start tracking and broadcasting the whereabouts of someone in my office? How about [unpopular politician]? It's weird that people celebrate this invasion of privacy. He's still a human being.

This was crystalized for me when I came across an article detailing what they found from dumpster diving through Mark Zuckerberg's garbage. I mean, really?

I find that I'm able to deliberately structure my thoughts in what feels like a string of real English words without much difficulty, yet I have a very similar feeling of being slowed down when I attempt to speak those thoughts out loud in real time.

The extra effort required is strange, considering the research showing that internally vocalized thoughts are reflexively subvocalized by the associated muscles. The only difference between thinking and speaking should thus be the increase in amplitude and precision of muscle movement required to make the vocalization intelligible. Is that alone enough to so greatly impact the ability to think? Or could the brain be deceiving itself in whether its vocalized thoughts are in fact complete English words?

Perhaps there's something to be seen from the fact that I find myself automatically inserting filler words even when trying to dictate these raw thoughts to a recording. I'm fairly sure I don't use them in my internal thoughts, and whenever I use one when dictating those thoughts, it feels like my train of thought comes to a halt. Perhaps, when I need to take time to consider something abstract that cannot be vocalized, my internal vocalization is able to pause without me noticing, but audible speaking reflexively fills in the silence in a manner disruptive to thinking?

This all contrasts with my writing of this comment, where my typing is far slower and more measured than my thinking, such that I'm jumping between sentences to insert new thoughts related to something I've already written and delete what now feels unimportant. And the process of handwriting is again different, being even slower and very limited in the ability to modify what's already written. I gather, then, that these are all distinct "modes" of the brain putting thoughts into language, each with different levels of perceived difficulty, actual words per minute, and resulting quality/linguistic register.

Edit: clarity
Wouldn't corrosion be easily prevented using electroplating? A gilded surface would have significant longevity on top of any metal.
Unlikely. Twitter, despite of its influence, is a minor part of the social media business. Instagram and TikTok are the biggest.
> On top of that, responsible use of energy is exactly where we should be heading,

I never really got this arguement, especially when you're talking about a laptop that will happily draw 40w+ if you crank the display brightness. Arguing about the merits of a 7w CPU vs a 15w one sounds like people are missing the forest for the trees.

I had a great use case for SQLite last year.

Client (incident response dept at megacorp) had a problem: their quarterly exercises of switching network storage devices from live servers to disaster recovery (DR) servers was a manual operation of reconciling about 8 Excel spreadsheets and setting up ACLs before (luckily) an automated process would switch the storage mounts from live to DR.

We modeled and matched up all the hosts, servers, and ACLs and did a daily write to a single SQLite database. (We redundantly sent all the data to Splunk.) Now the DR employees are automating a daily diff of servers, hosts, ACLs etc to further automate the switch.

To echo a bunch of comments here, we decided on SQLite for a few reasons:

- only one user would write to the DB
- only a few users need to access the data
- besides standard retention policies, the data could be considered ephemeral and easily recompiled
- the script we wrote to compile the data runs in 5 minutes, so if we lose the db, we can easily recompile it.

SQLite (and SQLalchemy) is useful for inexpensive data.
Which is not an answer to the question “Was The Washington Post the tipping point where Amazon started to collapse?”, which you were responding to.

I don’t eat at McDonalds, but that doesn’t make me think they’re going to collapse. In fact they’re likely successful for precisely for the reasons I don’t eat there.
> In Chatter you talk about how you halted a particularly bad spiral by calling yourself by name. That’s fascinating to me, the idea that what we call ourselves in the privacy of our own head has real discernible effects.

I've found that it's very effective when trying to break negative self talk, for example when I'm getting anxious. Hearing my name always makes me stop for a small instant, and this also stops my thoughts. So when I'm starting to think that everything is terrible and things won't go well, just calling myself by my name stops that for a small moment, and I can try to get back to normal self talk.
Heartbreaking, dolorous, and woeful.
I've was at a company that had an absentee CEO. One who would swoop in every few months and make strong declarations about direction, product, and so on; but was otherwise never there. It was a nightmare. We suffered constantly from his eccentrics, it constantly hurt our product, and destroyed morale and the ability to feel like you had no power over your work.
Is it really interesting? Every editor would have had to support a bunch of different protocols, instead of just one. That's back to square one.
Musk brings a highly ideological approach to this already, giving it a de facto resolution.
So, basically moving wallpaper.
Fun to own, terrible to operate, even harder to sell.
Are you basing this 'analysis' on anything other then 'I don't like Musk'.

Literally what is this based on.

Tesla was going straight into the shitter, Musk took over and now its a trillion $ company. How do you explain that?
I feel like people have invested in Elon in large part because of his alignment with i) moving humanity away from fossil fuels and ii) making life multi planetary. He is obviously free to do as he pleases with this new wealth but I cant help but feel this as a huge redirection of resources (in terms of both capital and focus) from those goals

I’ve worked on several projects with sqlite, both read and write heavy, all with high concurrency, with databases in the few hundred MB with 400k server clients, and 100 bare-metal servers running at capacity. The sqlite part of our system is never the problem. In our case sqlite has been an alternative to custom files on disk or replacing a spaghetti of hashmaps in memory. we also replaced a single postgresql instance with all customers into many sqlites per customer. Performance and reliability is why I always reach for it first. At this point I’m a zealot and would argue your first ‘data structure’ of choice should be an sqlite database :)
Well as far as “blaming Big Pharma for the opioid epidemic”, when drug abuse was affecting the “inner city” it was because of “poor morals”, “the lack of fathers” and “people not taking responsibility for themselves”.

But when drug abuse started affecting “rural and middle America”, it became “we need to treat drug abuse like a disease and not a crime” and “blame Big Pharma”.

I wonder what the difference could be…
If you only need to store a small amount of text I sell a product that can theoretically hold data for over 200 years on ferroelectric RAM. Ideally you would store the data on several different mediums in different locations but this device may be something you'd want in that mix.

Just to play Devil's Advocate, the account is only tracking the movement of Elon's jet, not Elon himself. I don't know if you can consider that 'stalking' when, different to a private car, the movement of private planes is still somewhat public information.
I wonder if you could use Vaccum treated water as a backup if you run out of soap.

There's videos of oil and water mixing in a vacuum blender, could they make a vacuum faucet that doesn't need soap? Would it remove pathogens?

Maybe they could electrolize salt to hypochlorous acid the way Force of Nature does, for use if you've touched something especially filthy.
He's already said that he'd follow all local laws so it would be interesting to see if he can find the elusive path of maintaining free speech, following the law and not having Twitter being a toxic cesspool used mainly to shout down those not our your "side".

Personally my reservations are because I think running a social media site is a lot about understanding people and defining a healthy culture for your elusive market place of ideas. Musk has admitted he doesn't understand people, is a self-confessed troll & edgelord and and Tesla's culture seems less than ideal. So lacks any of the qualifications I see as being needed to run something like Twitter. Maybe there's some other Musk magic that will do what so many others have failed to do.
FWIW, i've never once started with sqlite and then later "upgrade" to another db. i once actually used sqlite to implement locking for a mysql db because mysql's locking requires (or required, back then) that the calling code specify, in advance, every table which would need locking, and that wasn't possible in that code base. So an sqlite db connection was opened just to act as a mutex for the mysql db in some code paths.
It’s interesting to me because someone like Trump gets frustrated with Twitter, and the best he can do is raise capital for a social network which seems doomed to fail. Musk can just buy twitter. Trump was the president and one of the most influential political figures in the world, but in this regard Musk dwarfs him in terms of power.
> other pretty important stuff that can still bubble up, like the person reinventing the wheel where a well known library could have been used

One of the reasons why I enjoy programming as a hobby and avoid it as a profession is the pleasure of reinventing the wheel. For example: I learnt how to use git and am learning how to read datasheets is by taking simple Arduino programs then refining it until most of the abstractions are removed. Likewise, it can be fun to implement my own data structures and algorithms. Contrast that to simply using libraries. It's mostly an exercise of reading documentation and hoping that a tiny subset of what's learnt is transferable to other libraries.
Obligatory reminder that SpaceX has its own CEO, think the other companies do too. Think Musk actually staffs the orgs pretty well other than Tesla the other companies seem like they’d do fine without him, but him pushing seems to help.
I agree. Elon Musk taking control of Twitter won't spell the end of social media. Social media fills the intrinsic human need to be connected to others and recognized by others for a lot of people. Network effects make it very hard for a competitor to dislodge the incumbents, but as TikTok showed, it's not impossible. Social media is here to stay indefinitely.
