No one is arguing that they owe you a politics free experience, but one obvious solution is to allow people to have “channels” so I can subscribe to your tech opinions or your politics opinions distinctly. There are lots of other things that moderation could improve, like not centering the most toxic versions of each viewpoint.

> A dedicated GC core is basically a core dedicated to flooding the cross-core interconnect, and invalidating lots of cache lines for your cores running application code.

Yeah, that's what I was trying to chase out of the OP. Running GC on a dedicated core seems like such an obviously bad idea, I'm not sure why anyone would seriously propose it.
The classified board structure is available for you to read about in their public filings and the Twitter investor relations site. It's not fanciful or nonsense - it's a commonly used takeover defense that Twitter put into effect several years ago. I don't know why Twitter's board accepted the deal, I'm just talking about the defenses in place and how they all worked. Apologies if that offended you somehow.
Does it support secure boot yet?
Ah OK, so you're saying that this will enable an expansion of verification, which will then serve as a solution to the bot issue.
There's a reason that it's constantly brought up - Twitters content moderators are literally pedophiles, as are Facebook's, as are Reddits. They've figured out how to "self-police" as it were, assuring that enough is deleted and the rest is hidden in PMs and moderated with other tags when caught.

Speaking for personal experience, I met a Facebook person at Folsom Street Fair, through a friend of a friend who I had already marked as super fucking creepy. They were remarkably upfront about it, being drunk and apparently I have a good poker face. See also the "Aimee Challenor" affair at Reddit, and the fact that their initial defense was "Highly recommended by other staff" - They never looked further into that, for a fact.

I think some people are trying to automate the wrong domains, there are easier challenges to solve around the house first, besides, people love eating out or getting a take away. If corporations thought there was some money in automating the kitchen, all the fast food chains would get together and build an automated kitchen which can be retro fitted into your existing kitchen and serve you up all your favourite take aways, but it aint happening, at least not for a decade.

There are better low hanging fruit to be had in the automation/robot domains, if you think about it.

The Python thread shares a process with the GUI thread. It actually pipes data to a ffmpeg process in between, to mix video frames and audio into a NUT stream, which gets piped to the ffplay GUI process. IIRC both processes are created by Python, but we only pipe data directly into ffmpeg.
That reads like those "UI vs UX" images where the creator just takes 2 random photos and sticks them next to each other—while simultaneously being deeply ignorant of what’s going on in the country right now.

Scallop seems to be similar to PyNeuraLogic in the sense it extends logic programs with numerical parameters. The difference here is that PyNeuraLogic does not necessarily assign a probabilistic interpretation to values and parameters (which Scallop does, from my understanding).
No, it really isn't. Even in peace time you'll need most of this:

You need safe food and safe water for yourself and a chance to consume it. You'll also need water for bathing etc if you can to maintain comfort. To be combat effective you need a lot of energy. You'll also want to be comfortable so let's say 2l water for drinking and 50l for washing if possible. Food - at least 4000 calories per day.

Now you need to do something and that will require munitions and weapons. A tankie will require a lot of fuel, bits of track, lubricants for all the funky stuff. They'll need shells of various types - AP (anti personnel - basically ball bearings to kill people) and APDS types (armour piercing discarding sabot) and the other more modern fancy types with nastier purposes. Anyway - quite complicated and expensive too.

A tank out of fuel and shells is just a quick kill for the enemy.

It is binary, the question is:

Should some content be censored?

That is a yes/no question.

I gave extremes of what content means, so that hopefully everyone would agree that some content should be censored. A free speech absolutist might say that the answer is no, but I suspect the overwhelming majority of people could find something above that they agree should be censored.

My reason for being so aggressive here is because I am sick of the “anti-censor” brigade claiming that they’re simply fighting for all free speech. What I want people to acknowledge is that they do there is simply that there’s just been a bunch of things censored that they want to be able to say.

We can argue about what that content is, but everyone here knows that different groups fundamentally disagree about a number of those things that are currently not allowed on Twitter. Personally I look at the things Twitter let’s you report, and which of those things are actually not allowed - many of the report pathways simply say “this is allowed, you can simply block this person” - the only things that I have actually ever seen actually get removed are people fairly explicitly calling for violence, saying entire races, lgbt people, specific religions, etc are “diseases”, “paedophiles”, “should be locked up, executed, …”, etc

Based on that experience, and based on the conversation surrounding “anti-wokeness”, it sounds fairly clearly as though that is the content that people believe is being wrongly censored.

Everyone here has seen the many, many reports from conservatives claiming that they are being unfairly censored and subjected to discrimination and bias on social media platforms. I’ve also seen how in every single study it has been found that there is no such bias.

So again, we get to I know the kind of content that has been censored, and if people are making the claim that Twitter is censoring “too much” or that it needs to “protect free speech”, then that is the only content that is available to “uncensor”.

I would love to be proved wrong, but I do not see any evidence of what people feel is being unfairly censored, that I do not believe falls into the above categories.

> These laws have been abolished as of January 1, 2020. Insulting the King, the Royal Consort, the heir apparent or their consort, or the Regent, is now punishable on the same level as public officials in their official capacity, which adds one third to the maximum severity of the punishment for regular criminalisation of insulting of three months in prison (maximum) and/or a fine.

Not really abolished, just a lower punishment.

As an aside, I have no direct proof but I'm convinced that Twitter is massively overvalued. The board could've just been fishing for a higher offer.

Honestly - hide them full stop. From everyone. I enjoy using Twitter, but I dislike how my small brain can be very unhealthily obsessed with those numbers.

>Your timeline in life would be improved with dialogues like this helping resolve your cognitive dissonance.

Meh. You haven't even attempted to engage in good faith dialogue in this thread, so much as try to dunk on a strawman that seems to be living rent free in your head.

No, I'm sorry to inform you I'm not the frightened, cognitively dissonant, hypocritical whatever you seem to think I am. You can't read my mind, you haven't seen my soul, you're not onto my game. I have no issue engaging in dialogue with people with whom i disagree politically - I do it all the time in real life, as I tick a lot of boxes that my community and family disagree with. But online it just isn't worth the effort anymore to keep dealing with people who haven't grown past the 4chan mentality.

Besides, everyone already knows what the right wing believes. Their views aren't radical, or even novel. They haven't had a new idea in this or the previous century.
Entirely different. Oligarchs are individuals who personally own and control obscene amounts of a country's infrastructure, through backdoor deals.

American Business Titans are individuals who personally own and control obscene amounts of a country's infrastructure, through outsized stock ownership. And they wear fitted t-shirts instead of creepy euro-suits.

My Cold War trash story - One of my roommates in college served on the USS Peterson (DD-969, a Spruance class destroyer), and in the middle of the Atlantic they decided to have some fun with the Soviet "fishing trawler"[0] that was shadowing them. Normally, the crew would weigh the trash bags down so that they immediately sank.[1] But this time they "forgot" to put the weights in and filled the trash bag with adult reading material with all the good parts cut out. And then coated it with the kitchen slops (potato peelings, spoiled meat, etc).

As the Soviet trawler swooped in to claim their floating prize, the Peterson crew was at the fantail laughing at what their reaction would be when they opened the bag up. Yes, they trolled the Soviet Navy.

There is a lot of public literature on how to build a search engine: it is not that secret. You must crawl millions of websites, then process them, index, deduplicate, remove spam... And then you must create a frontend client that queries the indexes and returns the most relevant web pages very fast. Is "just" that.

You can build a toy search engine easily... in fact, is is a popular project in Information Retrieval courses in universities around the world. But scaling that toy to something really web scale requires vasts amounts of compute resources, money, time to debug.

Also, swapping an "algorithm" is not easy: it requires changing the indexes (postings files vs fast neighbour queries for embeddings? in memory? in disk for long tail queries?), compute infrastructure (single node? MapReduce? Graph processing like Pregel? something Deep Learning? are we building a knowledge graph?), which languages it will support (not all languages have the same resources).

But, there are open source components that could be leveraged to build a search engine: Apache Nutch + Apache Hadoop + ElasticSearch + TensorFlow + ...

The VM owns the database. Multiple backend service versions run on that same VM. Usually just one but 2 while migrating traffic to a new version.

I haven't figured out details regarding having 2 processes both writing and reading to the SQLite DB at once. It might just be fine. With a 1 minute request timeout I can just shut down the previous version after 2 minutes (should receive no new requests after 1 minute) and caddy will have sent requests to the new version for a while.

Not sure which types of errors I'll be seeing but the client may need to retry requests in some cases.

This is all just what I've planned but hopefully kinda makes sense.

> I think this is a 19th/20th century idea that generally held because of, and not in spite of, the natural barriers to mass communication

I've heard this take a lot and I'm not sure I agree. The invention of the printing press by Gutenberg offered the same relative change in communication reach. Previously, only wealthy entities (nobles, ecclesiastical authorities, etc) could have the money to create actual written books to disseminate ideas. Literate non-wealthy people could only hope to make a sign and hope for the best. The monopoly on distributing ideas lay with the wealthy and the state.

> For the first time in human history it is easier to broadcast disinformation, lies, and propaganda than it is to broadcast accurate information.

The printing press led to centuries of chaos in the form of the Protestant Reformation. Martin Luther used the printing press to print several copies of his "99 Theses" and plastered them on the walls of churches, widely disseminating his ideas. Now, after a renaissance, an enlightenment, and an Industrial Revolution in the West, we have built the cultural norms in place to deal with the negatives of Print. We have social norms separating tabloids from newspapers. We understand that different newspapers have different biases.

Governments have tried to restrict what can and cannot be printed. Many Enlightenment-era empires (Empire of Russia, Austro-Hungarian empire, etc) restricted what can be printed by whom. The Soviets famously only allowed government-approved publications until Glasnost under Gorbachev. In the end, despite the dangers we've found in unfettered public speech, the benefits have proved more salient.

I think it's a lack of norms. A lot of folks don't know how to treat the Web. They see a hot-take/dunk on Twitter and because they agree with the aesthetics of a person's post and some of their other content, they think of the poster as "correct" and retweet/share their content. That's how online tribes form. I'm confident that in a few generations, we'll all "know" much better how to navigate the online world. Until then, much like the aftermath of the printing press, there will be instability.
Satisfying static types AND 100% code cov is a significant burden.

If you're intrigued by this approach, or perhaps by a similar approach with typescript, I highly recommend checking out a strictly strong typed language at some point. I've been coding in Elm and a little in Haskell, and I find that the type checking is so thorough and exhaustive that I only need to write very few tests to get strong guarantees. This was a very pleasant change from Rails where you are encouraged to aim for 100% code cov, and as such, would spend well over 40% of my development writing tests.

A few things:

1. I do apologize specifically to you for jumping to the conclusion of schizophrenia when I don't have sufficient evidence nor qualification to say so. Sorry.

2. To be clear, I created this account because your idea inspired me, rather than the suggestion I created it for anonymity. I hadn't posted on Hacker News in years.

3. The reason I jumped to that particular conclusion about you is simply as such: (a) your conception of reality differs from current scientific understanding, (b) you have not conducted any proper scientific experiments on the matter, and (c) you are unshakably convinced in spite of insufficient scientific experimentation. Unfortunately, I jumped to a conclusion without sufficient evidence, but it was merely me making a guess based on the data I had. It wasn't about ego or devaluation. If I am wrong, then I am simply wrong -- being wrong doesn't always come from a place of ego or attack, but simply mistaken understanding.

4. For context, my partner has been diagnosed with schizophrenia. I do not use that term to insult people. To me, it's a neutral description of something that causes people to suffer (in the case of my partner, often horrible, horrible pain -- she constantly has experiences of being raped, electrocuted, and suffocated). Once again, I do not use that term to insult people. Unfortunately, I stepped too far by assuming someone else has it.

5. If you are correct, and wish for others to see that, then it must be demonstrated by a properly conducted scientific experiment. If you do not do that, then you cannot expect people to discard their current conception of reality. Any form of argumentation or scattered observation is insufficient to discard current scientific consensus -- only experiment can do that.

Lastly... I know you expressed resistance to this form of apology, but... I really didn't mean to hurt you. It hurts me to know that I caused you pain. I'm sorry. And yes, we disagree on the topic, but ideally we can disagree without making the other feel bad about it (an ideal which I unfortunately failed to live up to).
Humans are better at using our big two sensors because we can interrogate the world with them - i.e. move our head or refocus our eyes on what we want to look at, or just put the sun visor down if there's too much glare.

I assume the people working on cars also know they could build this, but most people don't seem to notice it's a failing of passive sensors like most camera setups.
