Twitter's method for counting bots, according to Parag:

1. Sample random X accounts from known mDAU accounts

2. Use human analysis to manually review sampled accounts, using public and private data and metadata

3. Bucketize account accordingly

Twitter's process for finding bot accounts may be flawed, but if it's the process they use for their SEC filings, the deal is on.
It is not "5% of all users". The filing by Twitter says "5% of monetizable, daily, active users (mDAU)". Not only that, the filing also says that Twitter used heavy judgment to end up with this number, so the real number might be higher.

The filing by Twitter: https://investor.twitterinc.com/financial-information/sec-fi...

The relevant paragraph: "We have performed an internal review of a sample of accounts and estimate that the average of false or spam accounts
during the first quarter of 2022 represented fewer than 5% of our mDAU during the quarter. The false or spam accounts for a period represents the average of
false or spam accounts in the samples during each monthly analysis period during the quarter. In making this determination, we applied significant judgment, so
our estimation of false or spam accounts may not accurately represent the actual number of such accounts, and the actual number of false or spam accounts
could be higher than we have estimated."

Do you know why this website is so fast? Can any help me to find out their back-end? Thank you
The amount of people who knows what Musk is thinking either here or on Twitter as this story has developed that have been continually wrong at every step is, frankly, really surprising. Yet still people speculate as if they know him, know his thoughts, know his intentions.

It feels like pure projection.

I have been following the story with curiosity because I think disruption at Twitter could be fascinating. The impact other than pretending to know what Musk is thinking has already been profound. I say this as someone without any skin in the fight.
It's an issue for onboarding and new hires, especially where junior mentorship is required.
> Then more expensive versions just get more cores unlocked, higher frequency allowed, etc.

That's called binning, the unit goes through some testing and components that don't pass get shunted away (hardware or firmware) because they're known to behave incorrectly. Better that than throwing it into a trash.

Blow the fuse/hack the firmware and you can unlock these because the hardware is there, but it's likely that it doesn't operate entirely correctly (especially under duress), even though it may appear to work at first blush.

The $1B fine is if Musk can't raise the capital - he's already submitted to the SEC how he has raised it - the contract gives Twitter the right to force him to close. Only a massive Tesla stock collapse would perhaps result in him being able to walk away with the $1B fine.

There are two reasons in my mind why buybacks are different. The first is that buybacks are reported after the fact and do not directly alter the share price, rather they increase competition for the available shares and reduce dilution. Dividends immediately reduce the share price by the dividend although the price often moves up a little before the ex-dividend rate.

The other reason is that there are very few stocks that are being valued by the market on any sort of model. That goes for cash flow models as well as other things like PE ratios, etc. We are in the tinkerbell regime, prices went up over the last 10 years because people are clapping louder. Obviously that is a controversial take but I am not predicting a reversal, just saying that the market overall is in a weird place.

So the encryption is not solving it then. But I may need to add to my original post:

- Relay attacks can theoretically be solved with high precision clocks, but will affect price and reliability in a negative way

This obviously depends a bit on the situation, but most relay attacks happen within reasonable proximity. Most attacks happen to a car parked in front of a house, since the attacker knows that the keyfob is likely to be within the house. The distance here is often less than 20m. To get reasonably reliable relay detection on these kinds of distances, you'll need very precise clocks, which will make the keyfobs expensive and still increases the risk of false positives on relay detection.

What's the point (to the customer) if the expensive ULTRA SECURE (tm) keyless entry system is 10x the price, and still less reliable than the keyless entry system om their 20 year old Toyota?

I got a similar number and by far food was the big number, the past few months have been meat-heavy and I can see that reflected in the results. It alone was at 2.7.

My transportation is at 0.2.

Same thing with me living alone in an apartment caused my shelter score to grow to 0.7 from 0.4 if I was to claim that two people shared this apartment. Which kind of makes sense, many people living alone generally means more buildings have to be built and more energy be used to heat/cool and light them, and land have to be used to build them on.
I agreed with the GP but you certainly made them sound like a bag of hot air. What a pleasant reminder that security can be bona fide engineering. It's too bad we live in a world that doesn't always want problems solved.
You might want to read up on their second wager. If they had taken that first wager 10 years ago, what do you think the result would be?

Tech’s High-Flying Startup Scene Gets a Crushing Reality Check
I'd have to agree. Windows Sandbox is built into the OS and is a much better option - it takes your existing Windows install and within literal seconds, creates and starts a clean VM whose contents will be burned on close. It's an insane technical achievement and it doesn't get enough kudos imho
I will quote someone far more informed and eloquent:

> So the stock market and the bond market are a positive-sum game. There are more winners than losers. Cryptocurrency starts with zero-sum. So it starts with a world where there can be no more winning than losing. We have systems like this. It’s called the horse track. It’s called the casino. Cryptocurrency investing is really provably gambling in an economic sense. And then there’s designs where those power bills have to get paid somewhere. So instead of zero-sum, it becomes deeply negative-sum.

> Effectively, then, the economic analogies are gambling and a Ponzi scheme. Because the profits that are given to the early investors are literally taken from the later investors. This is why I call the space overall, a “self-assembled” Ponzi scheme. There’s been no intent to make a Ponzi scheme. But due to its nature, that is the only thing it can be.

As I said, a massive scam would've been the best case scenario. The reality seems far worse. https://fortune.com/2021/04/20/bitcoin-mining-coal-china-env...

In many if not most production databases, that write-ahead log will be on a different volume or file system from the database files. This is often recommended in documentation for performance reasons.

So now it is quite possible you back up an older WAL coupled with a newer DB file that has partial writes inside. Boom.

This “multi-volume, multi-writer coordination” is the sort of problem VSS solves on windows. I’m not sure there’s anything equivalent on Linux or MacOS that can do multi-volume snapshots consistently.

> they told their investors that they were selling GPUs to gamers, while in fact selling most of them to miners

I don't think nvidia even did this, they marketed to gamers and reported the correct number of sales. What people do with the card once its sold is not up to nvidia its not information that an investor can reasonable assume nvidia will report on.

If I invest in a steel mine they market their steel to car manufactures and report the correct number of sales. If they also happen to sell to gun manufactures I can't then sue said company for not reporting that.

Probably the biggest difference is that Designer is a combo of a raster and a vector editor, while Inkscape is a pure vector editor. Also Affinity suite supports more color spaces, like CMYK for print stuff. Affinity apps are also very well optimized for Mac and M1, while Inkscape I hear is not.

But there’s probably many reasons against choosing Designer over Inkscape too.

I still use it to test installers.

We are working on traditional Windows apps, with an installer (NSIS or Qt) and Sandboxie is a great way to test it.
During development, we can't trust that the installer won't leave a ton of crap that will break future installs, and running it under Sandboxie is a simple and effective way of starting with a clean slate every time.
Also, by inspecting the content of the sandbox, it is also possible to see what the installer has done exactly and identify what wasn't properly removed during the uninstall so that it can be fixed.
This is not a simple "do this", except to say you need to see a doctor. You are not alone! Many suffer with anxiety for their whole life. What helps is therapy to learn to train your brain that many are anxious too and that you are normal. The ones who don't have chronic anxiety are people you can learn from. When you figure it out you'll have superpowers that most would kill for.

You may choose medication to help you with that initial training, you may have a completely different diagnosis.

No one here should diagnose you, because a doctor wouldn't diagnose over the internet.

A helpful book:

I don't know much about the space so let me know if I'm wrong, but from my point of view there's still a world of difference between all devices working on a packet network (that's simply efficient) and having ten cameras filming surveilling everyone around me continuously and executable code being pushed to my vehicle over an always-on connection that I have no control over. And then on top of all that is tactile controls so you don't need to avert your eyes or pause podcasts to adjust the windscreen wipers.
lol - those things are driven by software modules which many times requires communication to other modules like radio, body control module, door assembly module. maybe an older car will work with 12V supply.

None of the keyless start systems do this, on purpose. Because this may lead to very dangerous situations.

Imagine your engine shutting off on the highway, and your steering wheel locks, just because the car briefly looses response from the keyfob...

Also, just about every keyless entry systems have a physical backup key, to start and drive the car in case the battery in the keyfob is empty. A periodical re-authentication would make this impossible.

Stuck in the middle of the desert with a perfectly good car, but an empty keyfob battery? Well, sucks to be you, you'll likely die, but at least your car won't be vulnerable to relay attacks!

This is a semi-offtopic complaint, but I really hate the user changes they made. I planned to add Gitlab as a secondary option in our company's stack until we saw enough value/moved enough stuff to it to justify the 12x price over Github, but with the change we're only allowed 5 free users.

There's no way we'll pay $4000/mo for something people barely use, but we'd have paid for something everyone uses. I think they really shot themselves in the foot with that change.
MITM is more general and includes the case where the MITM alters the information in transit to misrepresent the communications of the two parties to each other.
well I was not, only that between those two stressors, the same major biomarkers are involved. There often is a surprising level of similarities between seemingly distinct things and here I would bet there are possible comparisons however that is not the point of my parent comment, just an answer to which biomarkers are involved.
A more direct comparison would be with the acutes and long terms damages of hypoxia, because oxygen is a similar cofactor bottlenecking energy production, as is the absence of glucose/pyruvate from a fasting human which singlehandely rely of lipid/beta-oxidation.
e.g. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21542052/
But it's not because those are the same mechanism (a bottleneck on a critical cofactor for ATP) that the effects have the same potency because of course fasting is less dangerous in strength than hypoxia.

This is something that when I was growing up, we learned to deal with through sports. Sports teach kids to confront winning and losing early on and how to better handle their egos.

I wonder if these issues are becoming more common as sports participation has dropped?
Eh? That’s still the case. The cheaper M1 Pros and so on will generally have one or more defective disabled cores. So will many-cored Intel chips.
The missing part in your description, to the best of my understanding, is fat to ketone conversion - you don’t use the fat directly, the process takes time, so ketones have to already be circulating when you need them.

It can also explain why ketogenic diets work for many people - if you exercise every few days, your body will maintain sufficient blood ketone level for your exercise days, but unlike glucose, ketones that are not used get peed out eventually (and not stored/converted back to fat).

Couldn’t find anyone knowledgeable enough to confirm I am right, but also no one to tell me I’m obviously wrong - still looking for one of those answers.
Often repeated, but wherever you actually see someone testing that theory, they can't spot any issues.
Slightly confused on how they define "socializing"

They state

> Socializing via social media, text, and video chat

Is socializing via social media mean talking in a chat? Or does scrolling your instagram feed and liking your friend's posts count as socializing?

Or scrolling Twitter and liking/replying to your friend's tweets? That could be considered socializing too?
Interesting read, I read about 1/4 of it but this is nothing new: YT cracker has been making nerdcore to this very thing [0] for years, this is just a way to use cheap labour in the developing World to do it in a more distributed manner. In some way this way more cyberpunk than using bots and scripts to convince e-john's to pay up for this content as it underscores that nothing is sacred, not even intimacy, and a race to the bottom in OP-EX is just another way to stay ahead of the competition is sobering:

But all of them take advantage of the same raw materials: the endless reproducibility of digital images; the widespread global availability of cheap English-speaking labor; and the world’s unquenchable desire for companionship.

What's even crazier is if you are at all familiar with warez you'll know where to find dumps of these OF pages for free and community's who curate them of their own volition, it's actually kind of crazy to think of who pays for this stuff, but the reality is some of these ;new sex workers' are making a good living so hats off to them for finding their niche.

I have seen this World up close during the formative years of my startup in fintech (they needed to buy or sale BTC in order to post their escort ads after Visa/MC shut them down), and to be honest, it's nothing I'd want for any female in my family or circle of friends but I'm not judging them for it if it's what they want and are successful at it.

I just struggle with the reality of what underpins a lot of sex work as it's often homelessness, desperation, substance abuse/addiction, poverty and a general lack of social services that cannot provide for single mothers more often than some wild exhibitionist who gets off on others watching her/them from behind a screen as it's often portrayed.

What is perhaps even sadder is the perpetual loneliness that has seemingly become just another part of life in the 21st century that worries me most. I need to get back to writing the last Act of my Black Mirror-esque screenplay on just this topic that I started in 2014 or so...

I'm a huge advocate for GitLab. I used their on-premise offering at my last position (sadly have to work with GitHub now). I became quite intimate with how the CI/CD processes work on GitLab and heartily recommend it over GitHub or Atlassian offerings. I don't have experience with their cloud offering.
In my opinion, this never goes away and you can only learn coping strategies. I never had this issue with classwork though, but checking my email/dealing with DevOps problems/filing taxes.

For me, I can see when I'm getting into that cycle (e.g. haven't checked my email in a few days) and one way to break it is to use medication. I don't like benzos, but I'm sure they work. Instead, I take a full dose of Benadryl and that can sometimes help me get rid of the anxiety long enough to get through the initial part.

Drinking alcohol works too, but obviously only works when you're at home. Shouting or high intensity dancing to loud music can help.

Basically, just knock yourself out of it just enough to actually start doing the work. Once you start, you'll realize it wasn't so bad.
