I read lots of tweets and don't have a Twitter account, or at least one that I've logged into in the last 10 years... The philosophical question seems to be, "am I a Twitter user"?

You could probably argue that most of the world read Twitter and hence are users, account or none. It's that pervasive.

But then there's the next question: "am I a user that reportedly matters to Twitter's business?". What people are trying to land on, in light of Elon's tweet that the deal is on hold pending investigation of Twitter's metrics reporting, seems to be a framework for carving out what exactly constitutes a user that brings the platform revenue that shows up in quarterly reports and hence would directly relate to the tangible value of the enterprise.

In reality, nobody knows what numbers are being thrown around behind closed doors. This article is just one framing.
If it's free to use how do you make money? what's the catch?
Probably because it's easier to have to know only one rule.

That doesn't seem like anything house rules and code reviews can't fix.

At my company we used Contabo servers. They were Windows VMs, I can’t tell anything about Linux ones. But, the ones we had felt underpowered for what we expected. It might have been subjective, we haven’t performed any benchmarking, just a feeling. Also, their UI is straight from the 90s, in a bad way.
Terra (token LUNA) is its own chain. Trillions of brand new LUNA tokens were minted within the span of a day or so rendering the token worthless. This is due to the way LUNA was tied to the algorithmic stablecoin UST. It was a true ponzi.

BTC's max supply is capped and the release schedule of new coins is fixed and predictable. There is no possible way that trillions of new bitcoins could suddenly be created.
Sure, stupidity must account for some large percentage. I guess I'm curious about the other reasons.

Large parts of Texas have high humidity, the panhandle and West Texas is much drier.

It is not uncommon to see people keep their houses 62-72F (17-22C) in the warm months and 80+F (26+C) in the cold months. Often these people don't have ceiling fans and refuse to wear appropriate clothing for the temps in their house.
What troubles me everytime i watch a video linke this: Why isn’t there any indicator to which degree a car on FSD-Mode operates? I mean - if there are troubling conditions due to bad weather or missing road-marks - the system should be able to tell how well it can make decisions, right?
You are buying too much into the Russian propaganda. First, it is not NATO which expanded "into" the Baltic States and Eastern Europe. These countries voluntarily applied and their diplomats lobbied very hard to get accepted into NATO, precisely because of Russia's aggressive and militaristic policies. Why do you think that these sovereign European nations actually want to be a "buffer"? Why do you think somebody should have a right to constrain their sovereignty?

Ukraine was not even close to joining NATO, despite all declarations (moreover, Russia firmly prevented it by orchestrating the War in Donbas). With Finland joining NATO, Russia will now have 1340 km border with NATO. What Putin is going to do about that? It was never about NATO. Look at the origins of the Russian-Ukrainian War (it wasn't just 2013, the cracks started as early as 2004). Moscow always had a distorted view of the Ukrainian history and its sovereignty as an independent nation (despite signing treaties and agreements recognizing it).

> For Imperialist ambitions to make sense, Russia would have to either occupy Ukraine on a long term basis or install a puppet regime (eg like Belarus). Both are doomed from the start. The Ukraine is too large to occupy and would be too expensive. The USSR couldn't even maintain a puppet government in Afghanistan (and nor could the US obviously).

This is precisely what they tried to do with this invasion, thinking that if the Ukrainian government gets decapitated, the majority of the Ukrainian population would not resist and cooperate. Kremlin massively miscalculated because they started believing their own propaganda and their intelligence would feed the dictator with the information he wanted to hear rather than reality.
Fun trick. A bit tangled though
The excitement to setup a brand new PS5 6 months before anyone else and very little training vs operating a motor vehicle that can end in death when things go wrong is not the same.

At the end of the day, it requires a human to be licensed to operate a vehicle. Why should we not expect the FSD to be licensed, or have a new license category for the humans on how to operate one?
This is a second-order objective though. The goal is to show ads to humans on the platform. Having a lot of human authors (or any kind of content authors) generating content is a way to achieve the goal, not a goal in itself.

There are other ways to achieve the goal, such as making ads more relevant (targeted advertising), having users consume more of the same content (recommendation), having the same content take longer to consume (periscope). Growing the number of human posters is definitely not a requirement.
It makes sense. The bots are just loud and tend to all follow the most famous people, so their numbers look larger when people look there
What percentage of HN users do you imagine makes $200k/year?
I'm also not sure if it is ethical. A good way to frame the question is, "Is it ethical, to take a single alcoholic drink, and then drive?"

In both cases, AI driving and single-drink driving, the car operates in a less than optimal way. Occupants of the car are at risk. Other motorists and passers-by are at risk. In both cases, the data collection of AI-coincident accidents and drink-coincident accidents is spotty and anecdotal.

Unlike AI driving, there are lots of tests that show how human performance degrades at each level of blood-alcohol level, and that information is searchable for your average internet-inclined driver.

I would feel better if the government could be an umpire on these technologies and call out the accidents and fault with greater rigor... but I'm not sure that the lack of government involvement and the degree of lethal AI accidents has been reached for the current work, by unpaid crash-test dummies, to be unethical.
I think it's a simpler explanation to assume that they would have robbed it by taking their huge stashes of luna and exploiting their 'buying'... it would hold up much better under scrutiny and they could still manage to transfer a significant fraction of the value into their pockets.
One release is like ripping the bandaid- get all the negative attention out at once. Dragging it out over time means constant drops of negative attention.
I don't own a Tesla but I share the road with them, which makes me an involuntary part of their beta test. It's hard to give a shit about liability if one runs head-on into you and kills you.

None of this is ethical. At all.
They do rhyme.

Perhaps the most intuitive example is "the smallest unnameable number".

It's clearly impossible to name all positive integers of unbounded size, if you have some finite limit on name length, but it's also impossible to find the smallest unnameable one, because if you did, "smallest unnameable number" would be its name, yielding a paradox.

Although I will add inflation is exacerbated by belief in inflation, which can make over reporting a self-fulfilling prophecy. But there are other causes and I don't think it is over reported.
Is pip an end user's package manager or is it a developer's dependency manager?

This is why language specific tools always gave me pause. It's focused on supporting the language and not the end user. I can't happily install programs from an array of languages anymore using a single common tool anymore. I have all this annoying overhead to memorize instead:

- Mapping which program comes from what language

- How to install things using that language's package/dependency manager

- How to access those programs, if they aren't installed to a common location

- How to keep everything up to date
You can move your scripts to Python and have them implement the Ansible module interface. Example: [1]

Now all that’s left in your YAML is the declarative part. No more YAML-as-a-scripting language.

> Then there’s the naming of it. Calling a metric ‘Impact’ sends a strong signal about how it should be used, particularly by managers. And this makes it very easy to misuse.

This is what makes the Windows registry such a success. I think too many Linux people hated Windows for too long that they ignored this problem. Microsoft already had the solution in Windows 95. Early iterations maybe weren’t perfect, but they stuck with a standard API and everyone got onboard. It completely removes an entire set of problems that Linux people keep reinventing the wheel for.
Not all communism is authoritarian/statist. "Libertarian communism" (sometimes known as anarchy) is socialist while allowing freedom of association and economic self-determinism. Historically, it has been strongly linked to the concept of republicanism and unions.

That's my whole point this entire conversation about capitalism and socialism is a waste of time. It's a distraction designed to pit people against each other that probably agree on a lot more then disagree.
The lockdowns in the US have been incredibly expensive. There's the massive increase in the national debt, high inflation with no end in sight, a couple years lost for students, etc. The national debt is so high now it's possible we've passed a tipping point where it will result in a collapse of the currency.

Try instead replacing some of the fat with sugar.

It's all biological fact.

Research Insulin, blood sugar, and Ghrelin.

Insulin responds to high blood sugar levels and tells all your cells to take in the sugar. Ghrelin triggers when you eat fatty foods and tells you you're full.

If you spike your blood sugar, then you spike your insulin, then your blood sugar crashes. The metric for that is glycemic load.

None of this requires such a high level experiment as you've mentioned, but it could be done.
The absolute low appears to be ~2e-5, and the (very temporary) high after that is 6e-3, which is a ~300x rally. However, the 6e-3 high was very temporary, with 4e-4 being the more durable high, with current prices running ~1-2e-4.

...I'm finding it easier to refer to the prices here in scientific notation, and to look at the price graph in log scale. That gives you an idea of how far the price has gone.
I did share some of the evidence; what I pointed at does prove the existence of a problem, it is more than simply what I think an eventual solution would look like. The fact that the level of CS education is changing and different in the US vs India demonstrates that it cannot be intrinsic to women or because we’re talking about women, it must be something else.

Given this fact, at some level you should be asking yourself the question where is the proof that there isn’t a problem? If there’s any question whether we have a social problem, and it reflects on us poorly, then don’t we have a responsibility to investigate, as opposed to denying it?

Women are reporting their experiences, and stories of game dev toxicity have hit the national media multiple times, with studios subsequently admitting they have problem.

There is still a well documented pay gap.

There is under-representation of women in industry compared to numbers of women that aim for the field studying art & computer science.

I was also partly referring to the widespread documentation of bias problems today in all industries and in all countries, not necessarily specific to the US or to game dev. We just haven’t yet solved all sexism & racism, the evidence for this abounds, and it’s not that surprising since not enough time has passed.

If you’re really curious please actually do some active research of your own and don’t wait for someone on the internet to defend it. Read the history of Suffrage. Read about the glass ceiling over the 20th century. Take a look at the stats of women in various field over time. Read a little of some of the feminist thinkers. Talk to multiple women, game devs even, and get their perspective, they don’t all have the same experience nor see it the same way.

I guess that depends on ones definition of "users," since a *lot* of ansible troubleshooting involves looking at the sources for stuff due to the lack of defensive programming

But, "looking at the sources" is now extremely complicated since the "user" reports "I installed ansible==5.7.1" -- so which URL do I go to in order to see why "{{ lookup('something') }}" has IndexError-ed?

I cheated in asking you that, since it depends on what "something" is in that stanza, given that "{{ lookup('ini') }}" is hosted at https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/v2.12.5/lib/ansible/... but "{{ lookup('dig') }}" lives in https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/blo... and to even get that number, I had to go sniffing in "lib/python3.10/site-packages/ansible_collections/community/general/MANIFEST.json" to know
I switched out of digital ocean because their docker apps don’t allow persistent access to the disk and don’t allow you to add any disk.

This eliminated a whole bunch of apps. I real head scratcher.

Render.com works a lot better for me. The disk is symlinked in automatically to ‘/var/data’ and I can add it in with an environmental variable set in the dashboard.

I have no idea why digital ocean cripples its app offerings like this. If anyone works there see this please add disks to docker apps.
> I can't understand why they removed radar.

The cost per unit times 500k+ units/year is significant. Also, I think the radar they were using started getting deprecated by the manufacturer.

Now, do I think they should have included RADAR -or- stopped selling FSD? Yes. I don't see how they can deliver FSD without RADAR.
No. You can have only 10% of accounts actively tweeting and the rest just consuming what those post. All those - active and not - are monetizable

This has more to do with media and social media thought bubbles. This is no different than any other topic in the news. There are highly intelligent takes out there. But click bait, trolling, and confirmation bias bs rises to the top in certain areas of media and social media.
I don't live in the USA, but since the beginning of 2020 until now basically everyone I know has had covid. No direct contacts I know went to the hospital or died, but I also don't know that many people who are older.

My friends in China on the other hand know no one who has had covid, let alone someone who went to the hospital or died. That could maybe be media control, but I don't buy it. They tried that in Wuhan and it miserable failed, why would it suddenly work now?

And how do you explain they didn't have mass lockdowns for 2 years and now they are back? These lockdowns are super unpopular and wreck the economy so I don't see why they would do it unless really necessary.
I don’t know. Even if they make $100k per year, an extra $12-36 a year doesn’t seem like it should break the bank. That’s an hour of work for someone making $72k/year.
Humans crash cars pretty regularly, but I bet if we had lidar/radar vision we could do a bit better too.
> Better to let them walk all over you than risk destroying the world everybody lives in

It's very easy to ask others to be meek, why don't you offer yourself to Russians to walk them over you? I mean, Russia would be very happy to have Alaska, perhaps you should offer it to them so they don't destroy the world.

I am not sure I know of any statically typed languages with generics, that experienced the same kind of problems on multiple occasions. The only one I am aware of is C# and array variance, which is kept for compatibility purposes.
For the kind of product that Ansible is, yes, users will care. Tooling ecosystems are just like managing a programming language and all its dependencies. It's congruent to if you pulled github.com/golang/go and only got the go compiler but none of the standard library.
That seems pretty complicated, I like it.
No, it's because of capital controls and central bank support. Selling rubles is very nearly forbidden for Russians, and the central bank has spent $50B on supporting the ruble.

I don't understand the latter. What's the point of doing that? It's a very great deal of money, so there should be some really good reason.
> Location set to a non resolving location

This is a terrible metric. Real people use the location field for all sorts of non-location purposes, as well as more freeform descriptions of their location that wouldn't resolve mechanically.
Is "for i in 1:length(A)" ever correct? Should Julia just emit a warning any time it encounters that pattern? Or maybe something slightly more complicated, such as that pattern followed by usage of i to index into A inside the loop?

> If it's available on the server, then sure that might be considered fair game. But using javascript (or any other client-side tool) to do what you should instead do server-side is abusing users (or their data).

I recently went down the rabbit hole with these tiny ARM devices. For anyone else looking at them, I found the best place to start is to pick a chip with full Linux mainline support.

https://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort

Right now, the latest devices have new chips that aren't supported yet. So if you get one of those, you're stuck using the manufacturer's Linux distro. If you get an older chip with mainline support, you can run a 3rd party distro like Armbian.

https://www.armbian.com/
In addition to LiDAR, Tesla also bucks self-driving wisdom by refusing to use mapping data. Everyone else’s L3/L4 plans include a reference mapping of what they expect to see, with the car signaling a disengagement if it deviates too far from the reference.
That happens whenever FSD beta is disengaged forcefully. It has nothing to do with what the car is actually perceiving.

IMO Russia doesn't have a very developed culture of eating out and strong traditions of safe meal preparation, so it's really hit or miss in cafes and restaurants. Accidental remnants of plastic packaging, undercooked meat, stuff like that even if you pay mid range prices. In fact, it could be safer to eat in a cheap local diner, but you really have to know one and they generally work limited hours. Without that option I'd go for McD if there's one.

FWIW IMO this is true for many countries.
Did Citibank claim that its value was one-to-one backed with U.S. dollar reserves until they were caught not doing so?

I'm moving thinking that Ansible is simpler for simple things, but complex for complex things, I find it more and more often in our servers configuration to have "configuration drift" due to fact Ansible encourages to managing by parts, not as whole system. And very rare is run automatically over all nodes say every 15 minutes.
I found a book entitled "Electronics for Cats" stuffed under The Cat's bed. Should I be concerned?
Ah, yes, this part I can understand: to late with support and then the UST holders started selling, taking their loss, and in the proces devaluating UST

But the backing of UST(or Luna?) should be visible in soms large/or a lot of transaction in a small time window somewhere, if they started buying/supporting it with $3B, I would think
At the end of the day, capitalism is a pluralistic concept that can contain a number of conflicting ideas and still function. Whatever your flavor of socialism - they generally rely on everyone agreeing on a particular vision.

Your ideas can be cool or fair, but if they are not anti-fragile they will not persist.
