The billionaire entrepreneur has “used the platform to attack people, often launching childish broadsides against anyone he doesn’t like or agree with,” said Jessica González, co-CEO of the progressive tech advocacy group Free Press. “And he’s regularly rallied a Twitter mob of loyal fans to follow his lead with more vicious threats and bullying.”

This, together with Musk personally pursuing people out of what can only be described as pettiness, is why I have a hard time imagining him not abusing his new power to silence people he does not like.

A person that sends private investigators after rescue personnel that doesn't want to participate in his PR stunts [1] just to dig up any dirt on them, personally cancels Tesla orders of bloggers [2] and calls the bosses of critics to silence them [3]. Musk is all about "cancelling" people if he doesn't like them, and the bar for that is very low if you include all of his childish tantrums on Twitter and how he sends his always angry (and cultish) fanbase to harass anyone over the slightest comments he interprets as negative.

Free speech under Musk will probably only be applied very selectively.

2-22-22 was also when Russia invaded Ukraine

And Joe Bidens statement about the invasion was on 2-22-22 2:22pm on the dot.

I could not figure out the significance of this more than 11:11 was when WW1 ended, but it's probably something else.
Yes, I stuck them in a bathroom drawer. It was "only" four, not an entire home's worth.
The second HN article in a week in which I can refer to John Steinbeck's work "The Short Reign Of Pippin IV" (1957)
> Entire S&P 500 PE is 15

Google demonstrates steady 25% y/y grows for 20 years already, most of SP500 probably doesn't.
This method can be much faster than others, because all the resin starts out in its final position, and only the laser light moves.

The article contrasts it with another otherwise similar method that has to go very slowly because it injects so much energy per voxel the resin would boil if they went faster.
So we could either:

a) Use a far superior date format which nearly the entire world uses by default and is better and simpler in many ways.

b) Do logic when we see dates to try workout what format the date is in.

Going with a seems like a no brainer...
Not if the high levels were an incomplete response to very low receptor performance.

Biochemical signaling pathways are a mixture of negative-feedback systems that do not assume anything about the sensitivities of each receptor (because in a pure feedback system the signal would be amplified until it activated the receptor sufficiently) and "level-interpreting" (I don't know the actual term) systems where each concentration communicates a specific semaphore-like claim and if the downstream receptor does not match the sender, it will get the message wrong. One simple case where the second phenomenon arises is when the production of the signalling compound is prevented, by the finite ability of the cell to make it, from rising to the levels that would agonize the downstream receptor enough to achieve whatever the cell was going for.
Yep, that module is exactly how to do it!

But Caddy's http server can also do basic logic around SNI if I recall correctly.
look at gorbachev, he is still alive. so I don’t have high hopes that putin will be solved in natural ways any time soon.
Chrome/Edge Chromium actively prevent cname uncloaking.

Effectively a nerfed version of ublock origin.

Nevermind the manifest v3 changes being introduced very soon which dramatically limits the capabilities of ublock origin to some limited sub-100k static filters.

For reference I have a block list of 800k filters + dynamic filtering on Firefox.

If you want to have a sane version of the web, switch to Firefox.

"Indeed, in 2014 -- 42 years after Intel’s rollout of the 8008 -- the godfather of microcontrollers accounted for 39.7% of overall sales revenues in the MCU market... That’s more than 32-bit devices (38.5%) and 16-bitters (21.8%), which grabbed most of the headlines."

Fair point but 2022 and 2012 are very different environments.
The vision is equality. One way to achieve equality is to get better at doing something and improve the outcomes of what you are doing.

Another way is to lower the standard to make the outcome easier to attain. It’s gross and racist.

this. the speculation around watches right now is completely unhinged. my Rolex Date 34mm sold for $3k in excellent condition three years ago. the same watch now sells for nearly $6k.
Oh yeah some creators are afraid of demonetizing (even though they're non-political, they're afraid the algorithm might accidently trigger on them) so they'll tell their viewers about their backup Odysee or Rumble page.

It turns out there are fewer ads on their backup pages so I tend to watch there instead on YouTube.
Since navigating backwards in browser history resets you to the top of the topics view, I would recommend making the UX "cheaper" for the user by either (A) tracking scroll-depth for when the user navigates back or (B) rendering the chatroom in a modal on top of the topics list.

I've been experimenting with (B) a lot lately as a superior UX for the user. It makes clicking into individual views ultra-cheap since the user can always close the modal and continue scrolling with zero downtime.

While we tend to moan about modals done poorly (new Reddit), being able to deep dive on this sort of UX is something we get to do in rich clients (web clients, phone clients, desktop clients, ...) that we can't do when we're stuck rendering statelessly from the server. It's a pattern used widely in non-web clients.

Anyways, nice work. The list of features in your OP is not easy.
I don't think they make much money if there are no transactions, and the world chaos of late has made "hodl" the wisest choice for most. Probably will pick up later.
> By this logic I could gather 10 friends from the pub, go to a government building, break a few windows, say we want to overthrow the government, then go home and call it an attempted coup.

Well, sure, and if that's really what you wanted to do, that would be a (very badly) attempted coup.

On the other hand, if you had a much larger group of “friends”, including high officials of the federal executive branch, federal legislators, state legislators, and others in and out of government, and instead of going from a pub and breaking a few government windows you coordinated on a scheme to substitute alternative electoral votes for the certified ones from several states relying on an abuse of office by the presiding officer of the joint session counting the electoral votes to effect that, when the regular presiding officer publicly rebuffed the effort gathered a few thousand people including multiple organized armed groups to violently assault the Capitol, erecting a gallows and calling for the hanging of recalcitrant presiding officer, having members and legislative staff escape only moments ahead of the mob (and those moments in part because one breakthrough of barricades was stopped by deadly force), delay deployment of National Guard forces to respond to the attack,...

Well, then you’ve got, while in the actual case still unsuccessful, a lot more credible coup attempt.
with my blue switch keyboard, I cannot get a key to register before the "click" and cannot get a click without a key showing up (using my finger) so in a practical way, this really isn't a problem

Lessons from the First 1,000 Hours
This is ironic - I use `awk` so infrequently, I have no idea how to use it without reading its man page or using Google. But I use `jq` often and find it simple.
This twitter thread is by Manchester's Mayor Andy Burnham. Manchester to London by rail is a two hour route and Burnham lists the cost of a open return ticket.

As Burnham says, advance booking is not impractical for many people. And when you book in advance for cheaper tickets, there is limited availability. Daily commuters travelling to work pay some of the most expensive rail tickets in Europe.

I've posted this before: a monthly season ticket comparison from 2017 for UK and Continental Europe. It bears repeating because the price differences between UK and other countries are shocking (and for us in the UK, pretty depressing).

- UK: Luton to London St. Pancras (35 miles) | Monthly season ticket cost: £387 (approx $547/€448)

- UK: Liverpool Lime Street to Manchester Piccadilly (32 miles) | Monthly season ticket cost: £292 (approx $412 /€344)

- Germany: Dusseldorf to Cologne (28 miles) | Monthly season ticket cost: £85 (approx $120 /€98)

- France: Mantes-la-Jolie to Paris (34 miles) | Monthly season ticket cost: £61 (approx $86 /€71)

- Italy: Anzione to Rome (31 miles) | Monthly season ticket cost: £61 (approx $86 /€71)

- Spain: Aranjuez to Madrid (31 miles) | Monthly season ticket cost: £75 (approx $106 /€87)

So the "dotnet" command is only in the SDK, not in the separately downloadable Runtime? Does the Runtime have some other command to launch an executable?

Edit: Actually, the ".NET Runtime 6.0.4" [1] (not the SDK) definitely has a "dotnet" command included. Presumably with the telemetry?

1. Yes it's because someone posted the reply in the channel instead of a thread. I only sync threads at the moment. I have some plans on tweaking the UX to fix that issue and potentially some heuristics to figure out if it is talking about the same subject.

2. Oh good catch. We just rewrote our message rendering so there is some bugs we have to fix.
I have never heard of this "Carbon" method.
You don't need an 'inclusive' definition. The reality is straightforward: a woman is an adult human female. As you already stated.

By contrast, a transwoman is a man who desires to be a woman, and perhaps also believes he is a woman, somehow. But he's not really a woman, and never can be, no matter how much he insists he is. Being male precludes this.

At most, he'll be a feminine man; a man performing femininity. Trying to mangle the definition of woman to include these men is ultimately fruitless, as it will be a lie.
Same boat here. I ended up finding gron https://github.com/tomnomnom/gron which resolved that issue for me. Now I don't have to look up how to use jq each time I want to quickly find something in some JSON.
It's because people for hundreds of years have been saying "March second, nineteen sixty two" which they then write out in that order. As a programmer, peoples' frustrations are understandable, but you're a bit naïve if you think even a percentage point of the speaking population of the world knows or is concerned with big endian-ness or sortability. However they speak English, at least in America, in that order, and that's the way they write it. Europeans only got it a little better.
Yes, it's been going on for a while.

Christians are fond if it: "You have an innate, direct relationship with God, in his eyes you are equal to the The King" etc..

But we've only had 'governance' in the broad sense for 100 years.

And we've never really tried to apply such principles into education until the 1960s.

Now we have actually made incredible progress on social issues, we have our 'wars' in Social Media with Holy Anti Racism Fanatics trying to do their best - because 'racism is bad' - which of course it is - and 'systematic racism exists' - which of course it does - but the 'kernel of truth' of these issues drives people into ideological fervour as though it's some giant overwhelming issue, when really it's not. Racism is still pernicious, but it's not fundamental.

And FYI don't think it's all rubbish.

For example - 'Math' is heavily based on prerequisites. If you 'fall back' in Grade 4, you may never be able to 'catch up'. While that's true in general, it's not as acute as in math.

Poor kids might be far more likely to 'fall of the bandwagon' and a lot of poverty might be due to systematic racism, and so the 'Hard Requirements' for certain things may not be ideal.

You could have 'summer school' or 'after school' or 'accelerated catch up' programs.

Those would be 'reasonable' solutions in my view - and FYI these are mostly issues of poverty, not race, they are couched as racial issues because that's what fires people up.

Edit: and yes, I agree 'most people in the civil service' are level-headed. Most people actually are. But some groups have outsized voices, amplified by 'allies' elsewhere.

The 'Anti Racism Agenda' is a 'fundamental pillar', like a religion, of 25% of the US population, and they are pretty active about it. And the actions of the most extreme 5% end up really upsetting other people. Much like a very powerful fool using made up constitutional manoeuvres to try to take over the government would upset a lot of people as well.

Good intentions, surely, but that doesn't make them right.
Yes, that's correct. So you (and I) should be taking remedial running and Usain should be taking AP running.

Not all shapes are flat on one side and have no hollows. Most shapes do not match that criterion. So, on most 3D printers, they have to add sacrificial support structures.

Also, most 3D printers add material a layer at a time, which is very slow. This one starts out with all the resin at its final position, so only the light moves.

It's a strong argument for ISPs to be a utility because of the access ISPs provide. Not just for business, but for survival. YouTube doesn't come close to the scale or level of importance, plus it is easily replaceable. TikTok just overtook it. Multiple competitors with the same order of magnitude of users.

> Do you accept that there are thousands/millions of people who rely on access to YT to support themselves, and have an income dependent on that site that would vanish if they were expelled from it?

Do you accept that all of these content creators signed an agreement to use YouTube's platform, which is a private entity? If the agreement is illegal then it is a civil matter and they have remedy - the court system. This isn't a matter of free speech.
PHP is the language which would implement a loop by pushing a byte offset to a stack and seek in the file at the end of the loop. Massive improvement if you had a disk cache.

It's all relative to where you come from. The byte code interpreter of BEAM is very close to a poor man's JIT. It has some op-fusion, and uses threaded code. So gaining efficiency will require lot of work.
> Take that Apple Watch we'll see if you're still running in 2062.

To be fair, smart watches would likely last that long if it wasn't for planned obsolescence (via software "updates"), anti-repair practices (such as impossibility to disassemble them and source genuine parts) and vendor lock-in.
> There's probably more content uploaded to YouTube in a single day than I could watch in my lifetime.

"500 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute worldwide (Tubefilter, 2019). That’s 30,000 hours of video uploaded every hour. And 720,000 hours of video uploaded every day to YouTube. Wow. To put this into perspective, it would take you close to 82 years to watch the amount of videos uploaded to YouTube in only an hour. That’s a lifetime of watching YouTube videos."

Oh, I wrote that. I think I get what you mean. There are two different things, and they aren't being delineated. How would you explain it?

I don't know how jq works internally and in my mental model [] maps into the json array and also can wrap things back into an array. So that [.[]] unwraps and then rewraps a JSON array, sort of like how [.[].title] is the same as map(.title).
I think that’s a partly fair assessment. He hasn’t code in decades, saying he is a coder when 99% of his career is management is wrong.

PayPal isn’t a social network. They are different beast altogether. Elon likes to work on companies with tangible assets such a money transfer, cars or rockets. Social media’s asset is attention seeking from users. That’s much harder to monetize. Only ads have been able to stick.

Althought 70B is a large number and based on the anti-trust lens that GOOG is under I wonder if they think this is a better way to return money to the shareholders than inviting DOJ scrutiny.
I used to be heavily involved in those, it was a process where we’d take a week to prepare for it, do weeks of post-mortems, and print a run of t-shirts for everyone involved to celebrate pulling one off successfully.

These days the team running them announces that it’s happening in an opt-in announcement group at 8am, pulls the plug at 9am, and barely anyone even notices because the automation handles it so gracefully.

Mostly I just miss the t-shirts, as the <datacenter>-storm events got the coolest graphical designs...

Yeah, the author didn't seem to do his homework here. Musk is extremely competent at programming. Wrote and sold a game when he was 12, started and ran two s/w companies. He approaches real world like its software - that it can molded as he likes.
I have no problem with the snipe, I was indeed confused on some items (particularly, I stupidly claimed that different observers can disagree on the order of events that are part of some event's light cone).

You're right of course about the missing ds or deltas in the Minkowski metric, and there's also a missing square, since that is the square of the 4-distance, not the 4-distance.

However, on the basic point that Minkowski spacetime is different from a Cartesian 4-dimensional space, and thus time can be seen as fundamentally different in nature than the space coordinates, in not sure why you claim I am mistaken. Maybe the specific wording I chose, "separate", was the issue?

Time and space are of course tied together in SR&GR, whereas they are more firmly separated in Newtonian mechanics. But "separate" can also mean "different", and I think it is corect to say they are still different things even in GR, though they are tied to each other.

> Europeans only got it a little better.

There is a reasonable argument for little endian dates (as in the least significant information is usually the most relevant as it changes most often), but apart from the "it has been like this forever" I don't see any reasonable argument for middle endian date formats. Then again, the US is notoriously resistant to the metric system too.
Another language that supports (arbitrary) compile time code execution is Haskell through Template Haskell. Ex. using FizzBuzz:

-- FizzBuzz.hs

module FizzBuzz (fizzBuzz) where

fizzBuzz :: Int -> String
fizzBuzz n
| n `mod` 15 == 0 = "FizzBuzz"
| n `mod` 3 == 0 = "Fizz"
| n `mod` 5 == 0 = "Buzz"
| otherwise = show n

-- Main.hs

import FizzBuzz (fizzBuzz)
import Language.Haskell.TH.Syntax (lift)

main :: IO ()
main = do
print $(lift $ map fizzBuzz [1 .. 100])

As you can see, the fizzbuzz function does not need any special syntax or annotations. You can use any code at compile time. The only downside is that you need to separate the code into two modules.

Other solutions involve using the type system to do this kind of computation at compile time, but I think that TH is very powerful (maybe too powerful since you can run arbitrary IO at compile time).
