Would that be using some new definition of "racist" that liberals invented to brand their opponents racist and absolve their own racism, and that you have to accept as the canonical definition otherwise you are a racist racism-denier?

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30843726/

Here's some actual data shows that liberals are more racist than conservatives. Would it be appropriate to go from there to the government indoctrinating the nation's elementary school students into believing that liberals are more racist than conservatives?
Private relay seems to be fraught with privacy and security issues. I was able to use private relay to bypass IP based restrictions to all sites using one of the CDNs that private relay uses.
> It makes them wide open to litigation

How? What specifically opens them up to litigation? It is a private company. It can do anything it wants as long as it is within the bounds of law. They have every right to ban anyone. Even on flimsy grounds. The idea here is to expose all the moral wrongs and bring it to the fore. Not that they are legally in the wrong (most cases they aren't). An audit is a good place to start.
I didn't paste with a keyboard shortcut, so I had no idea what type of weird anti-performance art this was supposed to be. Thanks for explaining. Needless to say, this didn't work at all for me.
> I guess these tricks of refcount allocation avoidance will work fine unless there's a scale-invariant graph with several tens of thousands nodes. In scale-invariant graphs there is some number of nodes that have links from almost all other nodes.

This wouldn't come up in ARC, though mostly because it doesn't detect cycles so you wouldn't use strong references between graph nodes. (Overly large refcounts can still happen other ways but usually get optimized out.)

As a quick solution, I think you'd keep a list of valid nodes and have it be the only strong references to them. This is like an arena, except it doesn't have the possibility of references escaping the arena and being deallocated.

Ruby has had concurrency forever, and as of 3.x also parallelism via Ractors.
> I find it unfortunate that people (including folks who work on WCAG) emphasize using simple words and short sentences as the primary ways to accommodate dyslexic readers. These strategies are helpful in making text easier to understand, but they also undermine the nuance of communication.

I think that's a great point. Simplifying meaning for dyslexic and older readers seems condescending and just awful, depriving them of access to the world and degrading them.

However, rather than simplify meaning, we can simplify its representation, the text: Better writing produces simpler text and that takes effort. Mark Twain (might have) said, "I didn't have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead." George Orwell's rules echo many experts: [1]

* Never use a Metaphor, simile or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.

* Never use a long word where a short one will do

* If it is possible to cut out a word, always cut it out

* Never use the Passive where you can use the active.

* Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word or a Jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.

* Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous

Again, thought and effort are required. I've always thought it good writing but hadn't considered accessibility. Write better, more succinctly, and help readers in more ways than one - and yourself too.

[1] Politics and the English Language (1946) [though I didn't see the original quote]

Better writing - which requires more labor -
This is because there isn't really much demand for genuinely innovative ML in the tech world. It's a third-circle nice-to-have, not part of the core business.

It enables the business to say they invest in R&D (tax writeoffs, marketing) and it also makes it easier to hire the grunts who'll do the scut work, thinking they'll one day be working on something more interesting (which they won't be).

Competition for bullshit "data science" jobs isn't that tight. For genuine research that actually matters, it is, and that's because most of these positions exist as recruiting tools (you're getting paid to let the company say you work there) and that's always going to be a thin ledge to try to perch on.
>hopefully addressing the toxic witch hunts, cancelling

How do you do that while keeping the content open? Of course Twitter itself can simply not ban people or hide/remove posts, but that's all part of Musk's free speech angle. Apart from that how do you tamp down witch hunts etc without interfering with the content itself?
Man, we went through so many cycles of “You (shouldn’t/must) wear (one/two/three) masks because the virus is (not) aerosolized and anyway the vaccine(s) (will be / are / weren’t) effective enough (to keep you off a ventilator / to keep you from having unspecified long term impacts that elude well-designed studies but we’re sure they exist).
I like that. It evokes memories of some significant moments in my management career, and also places where leaders have lost my trust.

My argument is - if you swapped out the syntax of Crystal to not look like Ruby, would anyone think 'this is like Ruby'. I don't think so. Super fundamental parts of the language semantics, like method dispatch rules, are completely different between Ruby and Crystal.

> Your criticism does not seem rigorously considered.

I'm a major contributor to the Ruby specifcation, and I've got a decade of full-time experience in writing about and implementing Ruby and its semantics, so I'm not just doing a drive-by comment.
What you are asking for is impossible essentially. We users, who are the product, want this rage free environment where we arent manipulated. That can’t happen because twitters actual customers, the advertisers, make money hand over fist with the rage bait. The company wouldn’t be worth anything if its customers stopped valuing it, and its customers will instead buy whoever offers them a higher quality product on the market place.
> Point out where they're factually incorrect. Ignore them. Ridicule them.

Good luck with that.

Trump, and his followers, today still believe the election was stolen. I don't believe there's any way to convince them otherwise. The only thing that can happen is to mitigate the damage.

You're welcome to try to convince them. I've done what I can from my side.

> Ridicule them.

That doesn't work for state-sponsored propaganda sites like RT. These groups have access to huge amounts of state-sponsored money and hire troll-farms from 3rd world countries to gaslight the discussion.

The opposite occurs, I'm ridiculed more often than not with these ridiculous discussion points. Its a losing battle because I fight fair, while they fight by buying up troll farms.

Unless I myself use a ton of fake accounts to build up a fake-following and build up a fake discussion, there's pretty much no hope at actually reaching critical mass and making discussion points move.

-------

The same occurs with billionare-level supporters like Elon Musk and/or Trump. They have the money to buy up false support and astroturf their supporters. You're up against literal professionals, who are paid per tweet to make the discussion look like their sponsored billionare is winning the discussions.

Its not quite as bad as state-sponsored propaganda like RT, but still bad.

You are naive. You aren't aware of the tactics being used in the modern social networks or how poisoned the discussion has become.

> Why is Voice of America still allowed to operate on Twitter?

Are you seriously comparing BBC and Voice of America to RT? What side of the Ukrainian war are you on?

> I disagree. But I think we're running in circles now.

You're free to disagree, and I'm free to think of you as naive fool for doing so. At best, you're unaware of the tactics. At worst, you're in tacit support of them and are trying to convince me that the pro-Trump Jan6th insurrection crowd is a reasonable group that can hold a discussion with.

Alas, my experience says otherwise, and there's nothing you can say to convince me otherwise. Because I have actually talked to many Jan6th truthers and alt-right people on my own time. I've also discussed the Russian/Ukraine issue with pro-Russian / RT-supporters.

Its not like their "free speech" has disappeared off the face of the internet. I still seek them out for debate and they're readily available to discuss the issues with me.
What separates a cis child from a trans child? How could you reliably detect/diagnose such a condition? Timmy doesn't like having a boy's name? Timmy doesn't like playing with male toys or prefers wearing dresses to pants?

Children throw tantrums over all sorts of trivial stuff, how could you possibly diagnose gender dysphoria off the fleeting whims of a preteen child?

What's arguably more dangerous is having an authority figure dictate to an impressionable child that they're "trapped in the wrong body" and setting them up for a lifetime of confusion. I don't think proponents of LGBT in the classroom realize that gender dysphoria is socially infectious, particularly when it is advertised as a solution to the typical confusion and angst that teens feel as they transition into adulthood.
Yes, and people tend to downplay the human influence on algorithms. Its fashionable to pretend that algorithms don’t carry the bias of their maintainers, while “the emperor is clearly naked”.

Humans write and train algorithms, and the quality of a search engine stems from biasing the result. Human moderation is also done by people with bias.

So tech workers that tilt heavily woke, not even just democrat, are likely to both intentionally and unintentionally bias results.

Tech oligarchs of cause will pursue their own politics, but their use of repressive tolerance to censor true unfavorable stories to their politics (eg Hunter Biden laptop showing curruption) and pushing dubious stories favorable to their politics (eg russia collusion) should give them editorial liability as a publication not a section 230 company.

Of course not, because it’s biologically determined. But that doesn’t mean that conservatives—even the majority that support same sex marriage and the overwhelming majority that support equal civil rights—trust generally liberal teachers to address these issues with young kids. In particular, to address the facts without getting into a broader discussion of sex, or exposing kids to liberal views of sexuality, non-conformity, or self expression.

For example, the significant majority of Americans think that sex between teenagers is not morally acceptable (54-42). Do the teachers who want to teach these facts believe that? Will they use materials that depict sexual interactions between teenagers—as in many of the books that have become controversial recently? Conservatives—and many moderates, given the Florida law has strong public support—view this as a “tip of the iceberg” situation.
Mind sharing? I've seen this before but they recruited high QI individuals from organizations like MENSA, which can lead to some selection bias issues.
> Last week it was said that Twitter's directors will take a poison pill instead of selling Twitter to Elon Musk.

No, it wasn't. What they did was change the governance rules to create a poison pill to minimize the possibility of a hostile takeover. Musk's offer was an offer made "to" the board, it wasn't an attempt to actually buy >50% of the company on the open market. In point of fact, "true" hostile takeovers are pretty much impossible owing to exactly this ability of boards of directors to allocate new shares (though the details vary between companies, some have limited rulemaking, some have very large individual shareholders who might act in concert, etc...).

This kind of stuff is just general prudence on the part of the board when it looks like a takeover attempt might be in progress. It doesn't constrain their ability to negotiate on behalf of all the shareholders.

Woke is an undefined term, it's just the latest way to identify someone or some idea you don't agree with without really saying what it means. It's a strategy to avoid having to wrestle with complicated and difficult problems in society. I agree with you that reducing extremism and encouraging communication is really important, something we should all strive for.
All these fields have that problem. There are people who are great at aping the signals (and even beating publication metrics) but really don't know anything. When they show up on a job, they get put into a PM (or actual management) role to limit the damage they can do. They learn enough lingo to be able to convince 90% of people they know what they're talking about (congrats on being in that other 10%, though) and will move up forever. Meanwhile, people who actually know their shit are usually too busy actually being smart to play the games necessary to get themselves hired in a hyper-competitive job market. So it goes.

I am inclined to agree with your scepticism though, despite sharing your analysis of lockdown harm generally, however there isn't any better leading theory so far, and the geographical distribution does seem to have a certain correlation with the places which went in for harder lockdowns...

The author of the article betrays his lack of understanding and commitment when he uses the term “divisiveness” in the title.

Divisiveness is a term people use to dismiss the value of conflicts that happen to bore them. These conflicts might be quite important to an organization. We may need to settle things. Avoiding those conflicts means less overt divisiveness but more covert sickness and weakness.

I gossip, because gossip is important to the health of any society. I support people, not just ideas, because our companies are not driven by algorithms and data. They never are. They are driven by human motivations and loyalty patterns.
Here’s the play: interpret “the algorithm” in a stupid way, and then claim it doesn’t exist, and then make a joke about it on company repo.

You know what? This does demonstrate the internal problems inside Twitter and shows the need for shakeup.
Also, it’s a lot easier when the system runs at 100Hz than 2,000,000,000Hz to access memory in a “single clock cycle”.

At 1,000,000 cycles to access, the computer has 20x the IOPS of the brain that can do it in a “single clock cycle” — 2,000 IOPS vs 100 IOPS.

It’s nonsense, even if you take the crazy claim as true.
Alas, reference counting and C-style manual memory management can still require doing arbitrary amounts of work from time to time.

> The board negotiated a deal with Elon after putting the poison pill into effect.

There was no "negotiation" with the board. Elon just made an unsolicited offer and said take it or leave it. The board "left it" and yet here we are.

> If Elon had made a deal directly with the stockholders, that would have triggered the poison pill.

What? That's not how poison pills work. Poison pills exist to prevent hostile takeovers. It isn't there to prevent someone from talking to the stockholders. If the stockholders agree to the deal, it is no longer a hostile takeover.

> He surely spoke with and lobbied the stockholders for support, but the deal he agreed to was approved by the board.

Yes. The deal was first rejected by the board. And then the deal was approved by the board. Why do you think that was? What made the board change their minds? I wonder. You might have a point if elon raised his offer from $54.20 to a much higher number. But all reporting indicates he didn't change his offer.

Of course the deal was approved by the board. My point is that the shareholders made them approve the deal.
Industry would change, they would also be subject to drastically higher fossil fuel prices. Not to mention people would have to consume less stuff since they have less space. Not to mention the reduced purchasing power of everyone since they would be spending more on fossil fuels.
