A thing people seem to forget is that Elon isn't your average guy. He's consistently shown that he has wild ideas that fit the times.

Prepare for a new Twitter cryptocurrency that is based on verified humans, and instantly has more users than any others out there.

The price he paid to be able to do that is a steal.

Its made up bullshit.

> Musk can break every securities law

Owning twitter does not make someone immune to the law.

> could you imagine any regulator going after Elon if he reinstates Trump

Yes, even when Trump was President his friends were prosecuted and jailed, friends of Presidents regularly go to jail. Giving Donald Trump, a regualar citizen, a twitter account does not a provide you with a get out of jail free card.

I'm not endorsing it at all, but on Twitter at the moment people seem to be talking about https://counter.social
> quite often you can only register a single device (looking at you AWS Root account).

For WebAuthn (and thus FIDO devices) this comes up regularly on HN. It's just AWS. It may feel like it's "everywhere", because it's your Amazon Web Services account, the credentials you use with DynamoDB, the thing you need for your EC2 VMs, the Cloud Computing stuff, your S3 buckets... oh right, yeah, that's all actually just AWS isn't it.

It's still a bug, but it's specifically a bug in Amazon's implementation, there is no wider ecosystem problem here.
This is a very optimistic statement, and I hope you are right, but I'd imagine the probability of a candidate who announced he'll record the interview to get hired will be approximately zero.

Personally, I'd expect the interview cut very short, if not immediately e.g. citing an existing security policy or something.

I've seen many places with "no recording for our client's privacy" on the doors.
You aren't wrong. The amount of power Google has is outright dangerous. Amazon and Microsoft aren't far behind. To make matters worse, we should assume the state has every scrap of data these companies have collected as well. It's a lot of power to have and I imagine it could be used to quickly identify upcoming threats to those in power while also providing a lot of ammo to use against them.
>also consistent with an interpretation where the universe with its entire Time-line is a fixed object...

That sounds like block time, but in that case I think the operative part is "fixed object", so there would be no concept of changing the past or having multiple time lines. If there were a loop, it would "always" have been there.

One interpretation I quite like is the idea that objects travel through time just as they do through space, and so if you went back to a past time there would be nothing there. All the matter is in the 'now' on a trajectory into the future, and both the past and future are the time equivalent of empty space.

> photo of him and Ghislaine Maxwell

I’m with you as far as testing Elon’s limits but I don’t think photos of celebrities with unsavory people generally should be considered damning.

Celebrities get asked to take photos next to random people all the time. I don’t think that should be seen as any kind of endorsement of them.

So, no.

What compels me is the truth and a sense of justice.

The UN was virtue signaling and playing the greedy billionaire card to guilt trip Musk into being responsible for not solving world hunger, whilst he easily could.

The UN claim was an incompetent bluff, that was called. Hollow words and zero substance. Meanwhile, Musk donated 5.7B.

So yes, when somebody is doing something good for the world, billionaire or not, that truth has to prevail. Same for when said billionaire does something bad.
I'm sure the millions of dollars he'll get from the sale of his Twitter shares have nothing to do with this...
Hahaha, I don't think a project as monumental as a browser deserves such dismissiveness. Let's not forget that Mozilla's full rust browser has not achieved (and never will) feature parity with safari or chrome either, and they invested far more man power and time into it.

The lone effort of a handful of developers that got equally far is worthy of a mention as a "new browser" even if it's not fit for human consumption yet.

It may not be cool, may never have been cool, but I’m still pleasantly surprised whenever I come across someone who’s used UML well to document parts of their project and by using it well has made things much easier to understand.

But using UML as the only documentation or using UML badly is just terrible and a complete waste of time… and it’s all too easy to use it badly. So UML may not deserve it’s terrible reputation… but it has earned it.

Edit: It’s worth noting that parts of UML are better than others. Lower level stuff like sequence diagrams, activity diagrams and state machine diagrams tends to be used better in my subjective experience. Generally speaking I find the “Behaviour Diagrams” to use the UML terminology, are the most useful parts of UML and the parts I wish people would consider using for the sake of standard easy to work with data exchange. The UML “Structure Diagrams” (the other half of UML) is what I find people are usually thinking of when they talk about UML in general practice and these are the shittier ones that people tend to have the bad memories of hashing out in long boring management meetings and people making unfounded claims about how magic software from IBM and other giant consulting firms will somehow turn these diagrams into code automatically if the diagrams were somehow perfect enough.
Does he? I haven't followed everything he said about this, but I thought he mostly wanted to undo bans. I haven't heard him about the bot problem.

Meanwhile everybody else does seem to see bots as a problem. So even if Elon wants to, I doubt he's the only one.
For the last 50 years, from personal computer devices to nuclear power plants, the world is sitting on a pile of C code.

Why are you afraid of manual memory management?

The world is just doing fine with it, because, believe me or not, the world's worst problems like violence, war, poverty, famine, just to name a few, are not caused by C bugs.

What if a US politician purposely uses Twitter to incite an angry mob to commit a lynching? These are not just hypotheticals, internet platforms have driven mob violence at various scales in several countries.

"Just don't ban US politicians" seems like an unworkable solution.
All good points
It depends. If you just want to support HTML, it's very easy. If you decide to support CSS, it's tedious but possible. If you decide to support JavaScript, it's theoretically possible, but you would need hundreds of millions of dollars, and you will be behind Chrome and Firefox anyway. On the top of that, there is the issue of DRM that is extremely difficult to solve for smaller vendors, and without it your browser will be crippled.
I welcome the acquisition, but we have to see if Musk can live up to his free speech standards.

We also must consider the fact that the government has leverage in the form of subsidies to Tesla and Space X. For example, this leverage could be used to get an interface to all private messages for some agency.
As a non-physicist and someone who struggles with quantum mechanical theories, doesn’t your analogy contain an ordered sequence or events? Is that not time (that’s basically a vector clock, for example).

https://schepp.dev/posts/running-webkit-on-windows/ (linked in the article) suggests that it wouldn’t be _too_ hard for someone to build a WebKit-based browser for Windows. The engine still builds on Windows; you’d need to patch in video codecs somehow, but otherwise everything works other than a handful of obscure fripperies.
It knows the neck area can’t be the same between front and back, but it doesn’t know if it should sample the skin or cloth textures to fill the gap, so it just takes a blend of both.

I guess, by hedging this way, it managed to improve its evaluation score without having to learn how clothes actually work.

Ah yes. My mind must have just went to the first unusual ‘ks’ spelling, knowing it was an odd one.
"In all the languages I know of, you can't break out of a loop from an inner loop."

You can in all the languages that the author says they're interested in (Rust, Zig, and Myrddin).

I think comparing Hare to C in this day and age is pointless. Rust, Zig, Myrddin, Nim, D, Odin, Crystal, Scopes, even V bring interesting and useful innovations to the table. What does Hare offer? No Windows support ever? No thanks. With Zig I can cross compile out of the box to just about any platform.

Compiler Explorer is your friend, https://godbolt.org/z/94hzK8svE

In one thing you're actually right, I should have used a string_view for the return value instead.

#include <vector>
#include <string>
#include <algorithm>
#include <string>
#include <cstdio>

constexpr std::string_view get_fizzbuzz(int number) {
if (number % 15 == 0) {
return "FizzBuzz";
} else if (number % 3 == 0) {
return "Fizz";
} else if (number % 5 == 0) {
return "Buzz";
}
return std::to_string(number); // convert to string
}

int main() {
static constexpr auto value = get_fizzbuzz(15);
puts(value.data());
}

The template metaprogramming to expand all values for get_fizzbuzz() is left as exercise.
You can always create your own with like minded ppl.

Maybe some non political instances are a shot worth.

The problem there is that everybody has its own definition of “extreme left” and “extreme right”.
So it could be that your preferences are just a bit niche or something like that :)
I've not seen that in this thread.
Thanks to the OP for taking me back 30 years to a training course on the Rational Rose UML toolkit [1]. Back then the sales pitch was "spend time drawing beautiful class diagrams in Rose and the toolset will generate most of the code". So called "roundtrip engineering". In a way it was the last gasp of the waterfall style heavyweight dev methodologies. The GoF Patterns [2] book and XP [3] arrived soon after. So no, UML isn't still cool. IMHO it never was cool.

Coins example would work here if he asked what are the odds of getting n of a/b in a row or how many n-length rows for few different ns in a number of flips.
Yeah I remember the first Mozilla builds in the early 2000s. They were awful. Everything crashed constantly. It was such a memory hog. fast forward twenty years and I use it on a daily basis, and I'm so happy I'm not forced to use Chrome (not to mention some abominations from the past like IE with ActiveX - and at some point such setups were mandatory in order to access some services).
This is what makes science so interesting, I've read plenty of scientific papers where claims or assertions are made cited in another paper and if you dont read that other paper, you dont know if the claim/assertion is correct or not.

Believe it or not, there are quite a few papers pulling that trick!

Shipping and tax mainly. What I hope to put into readers' hands for
about $15 ends up costing them $30-$40. Physical distribution still
seems a mess for small publishers who are in that gap between full
POD/Lulu type thing and working with a major brand.

For example, many distributors won't take on business with publishers
with less than 5 or 10 titles. Mine has 3, so is considered a "vanity
press". Coordinating POD internationally is a PITA. So I use a
smallish UK POD (Great British Bookshop) of my current project, and
hold a few dozen myself mainly for mailing out to reviewers and
press. Also, lots of distributors still operate on "store and
forward", which means holding litho-printed stock (runs of 500+). I
just can't be doing with that in 2022!

I also recorded an audio [1] version, which has had precisely zero sales
AFAICT, mainly because I have no idea how to break that market.

> sending a tweet is a lot like emailing to a group of followers. (Though it's unlikely they implement it that way because of the number of tweets that go unread.)

My understanding (from a watching a Twitter Tech talk, maybe about redis?) is that that is actually how it is (was) implemented. They were so focussed on time to first render, they took the efficiency hit.
Seems like a false dichotomy to me. In both cases you illustrated, I would actually be pairing with someone I know.
The passwordless WebAuthn UX is much nicer than everything except, maybe, passwords plus an unsupervised auto-fill rule, which is also a great way to get your passwords stolen (if the auto-fill rule ever malfunctions your passwords get automatically given to somebody else). Yet it delivers much better security.
Given how often I get the "this is not the page you're looking for" I can safely assume they won't care this time either.

Probably producing locally and then exporting is prohibitively expensive.
All of the languages he mentioned (Rust, Zig, Myrddin) do.

I ignored the comparisons to C ... any more modern language looks advanced in comparison.

> It is strange to me that people perfectly aligned to the attack lines of corrupt politicians (in your case, the Republican flavour) bother pretending even to themselves that it is the corruption that really bothers them.

This is probably the most tribal thing I ever read here on hn.

So, I’m European, not American. I genuinely don’t care about your politics. My only interaction with it is news titles I inevitably run into. But I don’t have to be American, or Republican to notice your politicians ( and mine for that matter ) are deeply corrupt. From both sides. I think republicans are just as corrupt as democrats. I think Trump is just as corrupt as Biden as Clinton. I think they are all in it for themselves and will gladly sell their influence to the higher bidder, which is usually corporate interests.

And, yeah, I actually wish things were different. But they’re not. So all I’m left with is to point out how ridiculous people like themitigating are.
Well, I was more arguing against subscription-based services than for CDs.

As a matter of fact, I don't really like CDs and I don't have anything reading them at home. I like my local playlist that I can play offline and randomly. CDs are per album, and I often get bored really fast when listening to the same kind of music for more than a few minutes in a row. I also don't like CDs for the physical place they take and yes, the plastic they require.

I just plug in a jack and here you go. That seems far less wasteful than buying a Chromecast or an AirPlay adapter and streaming all day (from the Internet and/or to the adapter).

A Chromecast. Talk about a waste of plastic and resources. Hundreds of CDs probably don't come even close.
And, to give an example we've probably all become familiar with, this this is equivalent to how a disease becomes an epidemic as the R value crosses 1.

It's not about _can produce_ as much as will it and when which is now an open path for further discovery.
Without lots of things Zig brings to the table, like support for and cross compilation to every platform under the sun right out of the box. And Zig has generics.
But, 1) your past media and posts are not migrated to the new instance, so your timeline effectively has to 'start over', and 2) from what I understand the move is not seamless; you must announce your account has moved, and hope that your follow-base is proactive enough to re-follow you on the new account.

Since the architecture doesn't prevent take-overs, and requires instances to be continually maintained and upheld by their owners, you might have to do this several times over the years (take-overs, instances shutting down), leaving behind a trail of dead accounts. I presume most users will just end up sticking to a single major instance due to network effects and the desire to avoid these migrations.

More concerning is that all of the private data (including direct messages) on the old instance is now in the hands of its new owner, who may have a different idea of what to do with it.
That's not a double standard. It's very weird to suggest nazis and anarchists are the same kind of thing.

The article isn't well informed ... e.g., it says "In all the languages I know of, you can't break out of a loop from an inner loop" but you can do so in all the languages it mentions at the top: Rust, Zig, and Myrddin, as well as many others.
Someone said in 1980

There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult. It demands the same skill, devotion, insight, and even inspiration as the discovery of the simple physical laws which underlie the complex phenomena of nature.

It seems like the powershell occupies a different niche than sh/bash, etc. It seems more oriented towards manipulating system properties than sorting and grepping. At least, the examples are always about system objects and properties. I wouldn't even know how to integrate normal unix commands in the powershell. Things like this look pretty counter-intuitive: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/integrate-linux-c...

Yeah, it's photorealistic if your photo is about 200px high and you present the 3d models at the same size. As soon as you zoom in, it loses some of the wow factor, they look like models from The Sims.
Which book is this?
It's definitely not perfect, but I'd argue that it is better than a "blurry front paste". For example, it doesn't place breasts on the back. Also, for the polo shirt example the model is doing significantly better than copying the v-line of the front of the shirt and shows a round collar. I think it is pretty impressive and one could argue the model has somewhat learned what a human looks like from the back given the clothing of the front, even though it is quite blurry.
I would assert that writing compilers, linkers, hypervisors, unikernels, GPU debuggers, cloud infrastructure, is system level programming.
guess I'll be using that for my next music video ;)

Given the music I/we make fits the trippy trance pattern quite well, this ought to work quite well. If I capture someone else also fiddling with the patterns, all the better.

Droga folds 40 Accenture Interactive agencies into new network
The direct link to the actual paper is certainly very useful and much appreciated. I think yshklarov's point is just (1) it won't be accessible or interesting to the vast majority of HN readers (including me) without significant background info and (2) Quanta does a shockingly good job at this background (but is not intended to replace the paper itself).
