Twitter is a public space, because being a public forum for speech is the essence of what Twitter does. It's privately owned, but like a privately owned mall, it is "open to the public" and therefore at least some free speech protections apply.

“the more an owner, for his advantage, opens up his property for use by the public in general, the more do his rights become circumscribed by the statutory and constitutional rights of those who use it.” (Marsh v. Alabama, 326 U.S. 501, 506 (1946).

The Supreme Court has since backtracked on the Marsh opinion somewhat, but some states such as California have ruled that reasonable exercise of speech and of petition rights on privately owned shopping malls are protected activities.
My understanding is CBDC’s are for banks and not retail. So it won’t kill it.
It's kind of a weird idea to get used to, but I think windowless cars could be pretty cool. Maybe the driver puts on a VR helmet and can see everything. (Obviously the technology would have to be extremely reliable.)

It solves a bunch of problems: it gets rid of all the trade-offs between structural integrity and visibility. It reduces costs and makes manufacturing easier. The driver could be anywhere, even in the back seat if that makes sense for some reason.

This seems like it would be extra useful for military vehicles. I wonder if you were to redesign something like the A-10 or F-16 from scratch and you could put the pilot anywhere you want because visibility isn't an issue, would you come up with the same design or would the cockpit end up somewhere strange, like in the back of the plane?

Even though we're already 3 decades into blatantly clear evidence that the economics of pensions destroy both company and municipality alike (especially in high-paying, high-tax US markets where pensioners draw their pension but relocate to low-tax/no-tax states to live their life and spend it), we're facing real declining birth rates on the horizon which are making that even more true. The State of New Jersey, despite proximity to NYC and all of the income that brings has been financially on the brink of collapse due to pensions since the 70s.

It would be wise of you to listen to the Swedes and Norwegians when they complain. They have some of the most funded and legally-guaranteed pensions in the world while economically times are becoming tougher and tougher for their citizens.

Especially for the Norwegians it's looking like pensions can't even cover basic living expenses Norwegians face _THIS YEAR_ and that's on the back of fantastic oil wealth.
What about this open letter makes these people "woke cry babies?" The thesis of it is that his behavior online is embarrassing and bringing down the reputation of the company. That seems like pretty valid criticism to me.

Funny to talk about credentials. As far as I can tell, the purpose of credentials when hiring hedge fund managers is so that when the hedge fund loses money, you can say, “Look, we did our best, we hired the best people.” Then you can swap in a new set of hedge fund managers with the same credentials and repeat.

(Edit: Hedge funds naturally lose money some of the time, and investors naturally get angry when that happens and look for someone to blame, and hiring someone who has good credentials lets you pass the blame, instead of having to explain to your investors that hedge funds just sometimes lose money. I’m not trying to tie this to the discussion about whether hedge funds work or not, just talking about how they operate.)
A large segment of Americans also wish that their simple existence wasn't considered "political" too.

A bunch of 4mpg 7-8 seaters align perfectly with my criticism of private jets. Actually, I don’t really understand what leads you to think there is any pressure in this space for fuel efficient development. In the space of jetliners, the airlines optimize for cost, of which fuel is a primary driver.

While it is cool local planes pull 25mpg, they spew lead on their local communities.

I don’t think humanity can put the cat of air travel back in the bag, and if I understand correctly the SUV market is actually driving as much CO2 emissions as the entirety of aviation; I still don’t see why individuals should be privileged to do such damage of poison and inefficiency for their pleasure. It is pleasing to others to imagine a long lived humanity on a globe hosting life as we know it, after all.
Recall that around a third of housing is purchased by major Wall Street investors (there's a Washington Post article that describes it). I wonder how this will affect them? Will they bail out? Will they hold on through the dip? Will they purchase even more - do interest rates affect their purchasing, or are they self-financing?
Every time these stories pop up, I'm amazed at how much infrastructure has built up around crypto. Entire websites with reporters that do nothing but cover crypto stories. Layers upon layers of derivatives built on top of coins I've never heard of, which themselves are built upon structures on top of ETH or BTC. Hedge funds. Analysts. Exchanges. Fintech. So much money swirling around a Greater Fool scam.

Wall Street is bad enough. This is insanity.

> You seem to assume that if you just show up at SpaceX's door with a briefcase and say "I want to work on space travel" that you are somehow entitled to a job there.

I never said anything like this. I said it's not arrogant to want to work on something you're passionate about without worrying about that work being devalued.

Yes, I dislike Elon Musk's behavior. Because I take personal issue with his actions does not preclude my ability to discuss SpaceX - in the same way that I discuss politicians whose views I don't agree with.

The letter in question is an exhortation from employees who are concerned that his behavior is undermining the business. Somehow, you've managed to twist this completely around into employees wanting to harm the business.
>It's conceivable that in an alternate universe an individual engineer's productivity could be so high, because of math, that one developer would replace a whole team from our universe, and bugs would be extremely rare and mostly restricted to UI.

I think this only applies for strictly theoretical problems and code golf, but not in real world programming. It's likely useful for low-level servers like compilers and parsers, but most of the world isn't working on those problems.

For any engineering task (not just software engineering) half of the problem is modeling the problem. Most bugs I see in systems by non-junior engineers are in this camp; the engineer thought one thing but the world was actually different (and this abstracts up to, where management thought one thing, but the world was different).

For a parser, that problem is easily defined. For other problems, the difficulty of programming just moves into verifier. Even if your code was bug-free, it isn't the case that your verifier is. For example lets say you are building a search engine; how do you embed the fact that queries for "Justin Beiber" should rank higher than "Justin Timberlake" except for when the term "super bowl" in included? Or how does the verifier embed the fact that local government regulation says that queries for "Winnie the pooh" should only return results for the kids cartoon character? Finally, Godel's shows us every system will have useful results that cannot be formally verified.

On a more human level, I think verifiers have great use in building more stable systems but I don't think we will see a day where they make us more efficient. It's like believing cars will lead to people staying home all day just because it will only take 5 minutes to get to the grocery store. No, the human mind will invent evermore complex systems on top of the tools we have requiring even more engineers to manage them.
hey Aaron! yeah Serverless has a great demo for sure. very fast move by Austen to spot and grab that opportunity as fast as he did, feels like someone wouldve figured it out eventually.

i feel like this is a list of "products that demo well". obviously a nice advantage but am also looking for "great demos of products that would have been hard to demo", if that jogs any ideas

and dont feel constrained to just demos, sometimes a verbal pitch alone is enough to give someone the mind virus

You are going to have to define slave labor... is someone working 12h days for minimum wage considered a slave? I would say yes.
> If they could, US salaries would be comparable to Canada or EU which are embarrassingly low for the amount of work they require.

I think that misses a cultural difference, which is that Canada and EU jobs don't require as much work because our work ethic is different. I can earn 100k in London and be very comfortable doing less than 40 hours a week, never working weekends, never doing crunch time, never being forced to work overtime, taking 6 weeks of vacation every year, sometimes more, and half of that is legally mandated. I don't have to flat-share on 100k.

US salaries are extreme because the US work-ethic doesn't support that lifestyle. If you value your time more than your money then it's the US that provides an embarrassingly low return.
Crypto was mainstream now. Anyone gullible enough and with cash (or credit score) was into crypto now.
This is not a problem exclusive to Nim. It’s a toolchain problem and happens with C/C++ projects as well. Some malware gets tagged and some part of its code is used to identify that’s some generic code generated by a compiler. The only way to fully avoid it on windows is to get an EV certificate but usually updating your tool chain works. I’ve had similar issues with other languagesz
I don't really know economics, but I believe they are quite different -- cryptocurrencies value is 100% speculative. Tulips at least have an inherent value as a decorative object. Even fiat currency can be used as toiletpaper in a pinch.
I mean, it was under the control of the monarch, but used canon law, and was lead by a senior cleric, typically an archbishop or cardinal.

If it helps, though, the Roman Inquisition, an organ of the Church, also liked to burn the odd apostate.
It might help propagate a story that did not really happen the way people think it happened:

> Research into tulip mania since then, especially by proponents of the efficient-market hypothesis,[17] suggests that his story was incomplete and inaccurate. In her 2007 scholarly analysis Tulipmania, Anne Goldgar states that the phenomenon was limited to "a fairly small group", and that most accounts from the period "are based on one or two contemporary pieces of propaganda and a prodigious amount of plagiarism".[11] Peter Garber argues that the trade in common bulbs "was no more than a meaningless winter drinking game, played by a plague-ridden population that made use of the vibrant tulip market."

Yes, and if margins decline or go negative, then price must be raised
> The government can’t even handle our current infrastructure of roads, bridges, electrical grids, and utilities.

Other than the (private) electrical grid in California and the blunders in Texas, handling of the electrical grid has been pretty good. And despite all the complaining from government contractors who want more road/bridge repair funding sent their way, those things are honestly in pretty workable shape

What is your objection to that passage? Most Nazis today do not call themselves "Nazis" because almost everyone agrees the Nazis were the bad guys. That is all that passage is saying. Saying sometimes Nazis go by "the far-right" is not the saying all far-right people are Nazis. You are the one reading "hateful groups are spewing vile, racist, anti-immigrant, anti-POC, anti-LGBTQ+, anti-anything-but-white-Christian-views ideologies" and immediately equating that to all conservatives.

Seriously, this looks promising and I'm very interested to see where it goes.
What's clear is we need new thinking on what intelligence may be, or at least about the necessary and sufficient conditions. If you expand the definition to be a quality of how something relates to its environment, whether it changes, and whether it apprehends both its existence and concievable non-existence as a consequence of its actions, this can be found in almost all organisms.

I didn't say "choices," because the apprehension of concievable non-existence as a conseqeunce of an action is almost the definition of intention, because there is already an 'I' that apprehends 'not-I'. Then it is acting to avoid a hypothetical outcome that it cannot experience directly, yet of which it can still concieve - and I'd say that's intelligence. Apprehension or perception of counterfactuals seems like a sufficient condition for intelligence.

(maybe the way to create machine intelligence is to take one and make an example of it that other instances can apprehend, and the conseqeunt knowledge of possible un-existence will imbue it with existential intent. There's a part in the book Good Omens where Crawley takes a dead plant and puts it beside his living ones to let them know what will happen to them if they don't thrive. Having done this with two ficus trees, I can attest that it works surprisingly well.)

When he gets into clouds and weather systems, the question isn't so much whether they are intelligent, but first whether they are organisms, and then whether they exhibit evidence of this intent to exist.

>So to “find” alien intelligence it’s not that we need a more powerful radio telescope (or a better spacecraft) that can reach further in physical space. Rather, the issue is to be able to reach far enough in rulial space. Or, put another way, even if we view the weather as “having a mind of its own”, the rulial distance between “its mind” and our human minds may be too great for us to be able to “understand” and “communicate with it”.

I can see where he's going with this, but this comment of Wolfram's seems like straight animism, and it's a bit of a begged question distraction to get us to accept 'rulial space' as a frame in which to evaluate it. He's usually right about something, it's just hard to tell whether that thing is in fact externally consistent, or just presented or correlated with something that is internally consistent in his thinking.

That's not even true. While it's true the infamous "You can just build it yourself with X & Y" probably spawned from there, the first submission about Dropbox actually has a lot of positive comments about the idea. There was way less than half of them being critical to the idea (not sure "critical" is even the right word, maybe "suggesting alternative approaches for some" is better).

Reminds me of the good old days when World of Warcraft got so big that there was a substantial grey market for the in-game gold. At first, it was simple enough, forums where you could pay someone $10 with PayPal or whatever, and then they would meet you in-game and give you 1,000 game gold coins.

Within just a few years there were large-scale "gold mining" operations set up in China, wholesalers, retailers, "forex" markets, etc... Nearly the entire modern economic ecosystem was set up around a game.

At some point, if WoW was treated as a country, its "currency" would have ranked above quite a few real countries in terms of forex trading. If I remember correctly, it was bigger than 70 real nations.
