From the Turkish perspective, why would they allow someone who supports their enemies to join the alliance?

I guess both Swedish and Finnish government would both need to swallow a few frogs to comply with these requirements.

At least, they won't be able to maintain a moral high horse over Turkey any more after complying.

Yeah it feels like a very no-name brand, where you could apply the same design to many different kind of products.
This description, to me, sounds like you wrote a Python program... in shell. Nothing wrong with Python programs, but writing them in shell is about as pleasant as writing them in C.

The shell’s parallel processing capabilities shine when you want consecutive stream transformation steps to run in parallel (note that you can pipe to and from loops, over multiple descriptors if necessary). When your task can be structured like that, it will often take as much time to write a parallel implementation in shell as it will a serial one in Python (etc.). On the other hand, running multiple iterations of the same step in parallel is, as you’ve seen, awkward.

If the only thing you actually need to parallelize is HTTP requests, you might find piping things into aria2c[1] or the like to generate temporary files with responses and then processing those serially (best if your tool can tell you on stdout when a job is done, otherwise inotifywait and its ilk[2] may help if you’re uncomfortable just hammering the filesystem). When that is not enough, you could try GNU Parallel[3] or, if all else fails, implementing a jobserver in the style of GNU Make[4], which you may find more pleasant to do in shell than your current design. Generating a Makefile and then letting Make manage the worker pool (and call out to a separate shell script for each job) is also a possibility.

But at that point (in particular if you’re not I/O-bound) it might be best to just not do it in shell[5].

Also,

Bots tweet and they usually have some sort of generic profile picture, so their methodology wouldn't even account for real bots. Bad.

Regardless, I do think that there are a lot of bots in TW and they are definitely more than 5% of total users.

While I'm generally a blockchain skeptic, this is actually a good use for a blockchain - to "register" bots so they have an id, and an owner, and you can measure their behavior. There are going to be more bots interacting with more sites, so, this could work.
I follow plenty of things Google as a company just does due to the money they have.

Undersee cables for example.

Project Zero.

Secure by default.

2FA.

Google even gives you now the option of configuring your ads.

Realistically speaking some entity with a monetary motivation is solving hard problems for us.

Who will solve this issue in web3 and with what motivation?

If it is monetary (as it will be) do I now should start trusting the etherium company instead of Google?

Or should I start trusting 1000 small companies than Google?

I'm quite happy what Google does and I don't know all of those other potential companies.
Counterpoint, most of my notes are gibberish and exploratory. For me the note taking process allows me to eventually synthesise a coherent idea. The idea makes its way to the team. If they read my notes it would confuse them, just like how I experience a mixture of confusion and familiarity when I reread my old notes.
The $4 droplet is a new option that is similar to what their current $5 droplet used to be some years ago. DO has never had a $2.50 droplet to my knowledge.

Meowing is definitely a "please parent me" behavior. It took quite some time to domesticate two feral cats that were nearby -- many years. The meowing reflex was not present until much much later. One cat would open her mouth but forget to make the sound, but she eventually caught up to her brother, who would correct her by looking at her and meowing if she forgot.

To lower the price that he set after choosing to not run his due diligence? It’s possible, sure, but not likely.
Its very developer friendly

Now we don’t have to pay for any costs (maaaaybe a smart contract deployment once) and the users can’t help themselves from interacting

Compared to web 2 marketing funnels, this is a one click funnel where every click is a payment. (Every click doesnt have to be a payment, users dont currently care)

Thats a great value proposition

Cheaper to operate, faster to accept payment, better path to getting payment. Pick all three.
What kind of idiot would attempt a purchase of such magnitude before doing his due diligence (obviously, no one, it's an excuse after the price collapsed)? For fs some people probe fruit for a minute until they decide it's worthy a purchase.

This study is a great example of how you can use the data you have available to talk yourself into your conclusions. The implicit point of the study is to refute the "5% of Twitter accounts are spam" stat from Twitter's 10-Q that was the basis of his putting the twitter acquisition "on hold".

Except - the baseline that they choose is entirely NOT comparable to that of Twitter's baseline. The study says:

> Followerwonk selected a random sample from only those accounts that had public tweets published to their profile in the last 90 days, a clear indication of “activity.” Further, Followerwonk regularly updates its profile database (every 30 days) to remove any protected or deleted accounts. We believe this sample is both large enough in size to be statistically significant, and curated to most closely resemble what Twitter might consider a monetizable Daily Active User (mDAU).

Except that we know what Twitter defines as a monetizable DAU:

> We define monetizable daily active usage or users (mDAU) as Twitter users who logged in and accessed Twitter on any given day through Twitter.com or Twitter applications that are able to show ads.

Nothing about posting, nothing about engagement at all - simply: were you able to see an ad?

So there isn't any reason to claim that this "might" represent what Twitter uses as an mDAU - we know, in fact, that is not how they measure it. A more honest statement would have been:

"We selected a random sample of (etc. etc.). We believe that this sample is large enough to be significantly significant, however, it can not be compared to Twitter's mDAU set, as it does not count passive consumers of Twitter content. Instead, this data can be used to suggest that a significant amount of the total posted content on Twitter is delivered by bots"

My guess is the number of consumers of content is greater than the posters of content by several orders of magnitude, though some of that would be mitigated by the longer time horizon.

I was offered $300 for my twitter account, I suppose partially on the basis that I haven’t tweeted much, but I use it daily to weekly though don’t tweet often, one tweet in last 2 years or so.
That is a 0.03% sample size of the total 130+ million accounts.

I think the China lockdown situation is a magnitude more extreme (at least based on accounts from people in lockdown there on Twitter).

People are not allowed outside of their units (only a couple per building to pick up deliveries). People testing positive are forced to centralized areas and some have to abandon pets (which then are either getting killed or starving and killing each other in the streets).
What about energy consumption?

Are you sure 95% is by weight, not by volume?
Good point. Though I am suggesting a flip of the typical approach here. Rather than you first having a meeting, and then registering the task in the issue tracker, I'm suggesting the opposite. An issue is posted in the tracker, which may or may not trigger a meeting depending on severity or if more information is needed. The issue tracker is a starting point for discussion, rather than the end.
My main account until recently would have qualified as a bot by those criteria until recently.

Meanwhile, several accounts of mine that were predominantly run with bots would have passed as human with ease when they were active.

Because Russia is still the scarier enemy. If the rest of NATO approves, what is Turkey going to do? Leave NATO and accept eventual invasion?

Doesn't matter. People should actually read the Twitter filing. Could be closer to 50% and it wouldn't be enough for Musk to back out. Also, the word bot can have many definitions. A company using an app to schedule tweets could be considered a bot.

> But successful internet communities do everything in their power to remain walled gardens. What could they possibly have to gain by doing this? Like what would Reddit gain by moving Reddit Gold to the blockchain?

We have to reimagine everything, I don't think a successful web3 platform will emerge from simply tacking on tokens to existing platforms. Successful internet communities become walled gardens to protect against competition, but they're limiting the growth of their community members and I believe the platforms themselves could capture more value. A creator on TikTok today can't easily give their most loyal followers discounts on their Shopify store, perks for moderating a Discord, early access to YouTube content, etc.
I was actually surprised they bothered to add it at all. It's definitely not for their target audience: people using streaming services. What they provide is actually great for that audience.

My best guess is that they keep pushing into the home theater space and wanted to grab a bit of market share from the higher-end bucket without having to pay too much in licensing.
I'm sorry but this is blatantly false also. The Commonwealth of Nations is a political association as stated in that article you posted but the member nations are not vassals and the queen does not serve as head of state for any of them except the UK
1. Their vaccines are not good and they didn't make mRNA vaccines despite the freedom from royalties for political reasons.

Could some of the need for interfaces be addressed by providing an extensive test battery for types of object? It seems like if something claims to be an implementation of a floating point number it should be possible to smash that type into every error ever found to uncover implementation errors.

Notice how you had to put index in quotes.

Because it's not an index, it's the degree of each polynomial term, which is a power.
I am a long-time member of the Julia community and had a discussion with the author about these issues a long time ago – but did not give feedback on the post. Let me first state that Yuri is a great person and was a valuable member of the community. He pushed the boundaries of the language and produced some very nice packages in his time. His concerns are genuine and should be respected and discussed in that context.

Also, let me say that encountering these kinds of bugs is not something I have had experience with. But, I tend to be very conservative with my usage of libraries and fancy composition.

If I had more experience with programming language theory and implementation, perhaps I would have a better name to describe the source of the issues described. My attempt is to call it “type anarchy”. The way I see it, there is not a clear way to assign responsibility for correctness. In the case of the array used in the post, is it the fault of the implementer of the `sum` function (without a type signature, as it should be) or implementer of the data structure? I am honestly not sure. But as Julia breaks news ground with its type system and multiple dispatch, this could very much be an open question.
If only their managed databases weren’t causing such annoying issues for me right now. I tried contacting their support, but it was impossible to get past tier 1 and I felt like they just weren’t even reading what I was saying. Their prices are “cheap,” and the support definitely shows it.
Business value is defined by the business in question, and what’s valuable to one business isn’t valuable to all businesses. The point is that the goal is a collective goal and not an individual goal.

If you really can hire fewer people to get the job done, and the value you care about is lowering the costs of employing people, that certainly is valuable, and you should do it.

Business Value is a term you learn to understand very quickly and deeply when you start a business and hire some opinionated programmers who complain loudly about having to talk to others and document what they work on, and proceed to have trouble meeting their deadlines, or create issues that others need to help fix.

I’ve personally watched what happens with programmers who write code without talking to people enough, both individual programmers who seems prolific, and groups of programmers working on different parts of a larger system. When programmers refuse to stay involved in the discussion of what do to, they sometimes invent or imagine their own requirements, and they build things that don’t fit into what the business actually needs. This can be a colossal waste of time and money, even though all programmers involved were happy and felt like things were “efficient”.

The problem with the article is that the author is arguing for personal efficiency, at the expense of group efficiency. It’s funny to write something about software companies being a joke and then argue that it’s annoying to work with other people. The software companies that are a joke are the ones no longer in business.

If NATO is to drop one of its loyal members over such simple request, what would be a reason for anyone to join that "alliance"? They could then as well drop a member that get attacked, instead of invoking Article 5 alliance case.

I think you nailed it. It’s a victory for USERS - owning your own assets in a way that does not require you to trust the platform. It’s not so great for centralized platforms.
The marginal extra energy consumption of running more stuff on your main PC is likely less than 2 amps.

JavaScript VMs are inherently hampered by language design choices in JS. The dynamic typing and prototype based objects limit JIT based optimization for the full JS massively. Java and .NET have fully static typing which allows their JITs to be completely certain when they are translating code. JS JITs constantly have to add overhead in the form of escape hatches to deoptimized code if e.g. expectations about variable types are being broken at runtime.
Nvidia Job Listing Suggests Next Gen Nintendo Switch Might Be in the Works
Right. It's important to remember that tools like JAX and PyTorch have total control over the numerical libraries they are differentiating, and have freedom to impose whatever semantics, rules and restrictions are convenient (immutability and referential transparency in JAX, for example). Seemingly small decisions in an existing language and library can have a big impact on the feasibility and practicality of AD.

>> Are all of those mega yachts getting boarded not considered seized?

> That is my understanding. The property still belongs to the owners

IIRC, there are efforts being made to outright seize stuff like the yachts, sell them, and give the proceeds to Ukraine. I'm not completely up on the details, though. I think some criteria might be if the property is de-facto owned by the Russian state, or was acquired due to corrupt association with it.
Yes, I agree, there is a continuum there. It is easy to judge from afar, but it is much more insightful to see what people do in real situations with real resource constraints and complicated human beings trying to succeed -- and not always with the same definitions of success.

For example, for many engineers, what they (a) can learn and (b) be proud of while building a product is a big part of success.

For some CEOs, engineer satisfaction is only a secondary or tertiary goal -- their business success crowds out most other things. This is complex; sometimes this drive is what helps a business succeed; sometimes this is why people get treated poorly or ethics go out the window.
