What happens in cases like this is that Musk will request the court for discovery of internal Twitter documents/emails/reports/etc to backup his claim that Twitter was aware that more bots existed in their BAU number than they reported.

Twitter will object, but ultimately some degree of discovery will be allowed (with a more narrow scope), but it will pressure Twitter to settle for a lower purchase price because god only knows what kinds of incriminating shit lawyers will find in employee emails. Internal emails is always a big big random variable which can then spawn all sorts of unrelated lawsuits from discrimination, to regulatory fines, to executives' private life drama, etc...

Even if Twitter is innocent - it is very easy for lawyers to intentionally misconstrue a vague email or threaten so with things found in discovery.
"updated". I tried their subscription brand new Excel and compared to my "pay once, use forever" Excel copy form 2007 and apart from the UI because more squarish and you having to pay forever, I have no idea what they changed.
> If you claim you have such a low number of bots (5%)

Twitter has never made any such claim. It's incredible how hard it is for some people to actually read the extremely explicit process they lay out in their SEC filing.

Twitter has users. A subset of those users are "monetizable daily active users" - that is, users who log in to Twitter from platforms which are capable of showing them ads, or otherwise making money. A subset of users who would normally be counted as mDAUs may be discovered today to be spam bots, may be suspended for other reasons, or may otherwise turn out not to be monetizable - so they are excluded from future mDAUs. A subet of those users have been counted as mDAUs in the past: this is the subset that is estimated to be 5%.

There are plenty of bots on Twitter that are not mDAUs. Some are actually fully legitimate, like the earthquake or weather reporting bots: they are valid Twitter accounts who are bots and who are not counted as mDAUs.
Maybe Anarcho-Primitivism? Not sure how many advocates / activists are out there proselytizing for this these days, but I'm sure there are at least a few.

This explanation loses me at "infinity per dB" ... and I'm an EE. I think you're trying to cover too much ground here, it's really confusing to try to understand what you mean.

I believe the comment you're responding to is talking about the analog filter that is needed to avoid aliasing -- as the first words of your comment correctly note/explain.

And in particular, the original comment seems to be noting the phase distortion (in frequencies near the cutoff) that analog brick-wall filters will cause. This has been a design contention for decades, really, ever since the CD format was introduced.

It's a big design space, with options for gentler analog filters, followed by very fast digital sampling, and further tricks with filtering in the digital domain, where you don't have to worry about getting great capacitors, etc.

It may be out-of-scope to lay all that out in one paragraph!
I still pay my rent every month per check, and only per check (the landlord insists, I don't mind). I also do occasionally receive checks for very insignificant amounts of money in the mail, e.g. few cents back from insurance or stuff like that. That's always a bit funny.
I’ve been working on a podcast app that skips ads.

After a couple years of being in over my head with ML, I’ve finally got an audio pipeline that consistently detects obvious ads. Have been building the app all spring and hoping to release it soon.

If you’re interested in trying it out or have advice, let me know!

This is a great reply. I'd never considered that part of this field was reverse engineering your own program to confirm the compiler actually emits what you asked it to.
Hunter-gatherers are still living today without technology and they don't have miserable lives. Infant mortality is probably a feature, not a bug, considering what happens when there's too many humans in a given area.
Almost nothing has ever been recorded and released using only DSD. Why not? Most fundamentally because you can't edit DSD data, it has to be converted to PCM format first. This means it can only be used for live takes, with nothing done except topping & tailing the recording.

There are are few "ultra-audiophile" recordings that have been made this way, but so few of them that the question of whether it's better or audibly different is almsot irrelevant.
Digital notes are much more useful for getting long term value out of them, I found. Paper notes are fun, and it's much easier to sketch things freely and just doodle on them.

Paper sketchbooks are also really useful as temporal artifacts. Looking back at them, I know where I was, I discover things I have forgotten, they have different formats, they mix life with work with hobby. I don't think the digital notes will have the same nostalgia factor.
Can you also record video with sound?
For traditional SIPs the manufacturer can run chases for electrical and plumbing. I would assume the same for these.
Most non-tech people I know start typing and use the autocomplete of their previous visit.
I would argue we have examples now: Google Research, Deepmind, MSR, IBM Research, AT&T Labs, FAIR...

I would argue that all their combined achievements don't add up to Bell Labs'. (IBM Research Zurich as a couple of Nobels I think). Certainly at least one reason is that these labs have pressure to bring some of their research to market rather than solve for the long term.
$10b cash will go a long way to remedying that damage. They might even not ban Musk's account as a show of goodwill. Let him continue to bloviate impotently about the evils of censorious social media.
You spent a lot of time writing that post and raising questions, but all of the answers are within two clicks of the article.

No, gcc added support for ABIs that defined long as 8 bytes. They didn't change the size of long for any ABI.
> There is a plausible conspiracy theory that part of why Microsoft bought Skype was to have everything centralized on US servers. Sort of devil's bargain.

I heard back in those days that they got a grant from the government for purchasing Skype... that sure doesn't help deny conspiracy theories.
Hah, A lot of us already are pets, but at least the masters are still human.
Imagine? No. Remember? Yes.

And this in an era where there was no such thing as package tracking. You got your stuff when you got your stuff.

I've ordered a few things mail order this year because they were not available any other way. The wait doesn't bother me. Order confirmation comes when the bank tells me the check has been cashed. But the lack of package tracking causes mild anxiety.
What are your thoughts on TruthSocial, which is also "a company of bullies, with how they ban people from their service that down't conform"?

GP said he doesn't feel sorry for them. He said nothing about legal protections being inapplicable to Twitter. You just brazenly made this up out of whole cloth.
I mean that is a common trope, but why not fear of the known also.

Why use Bluetooth at all? Depending on the details, hiding a wire inside a sleeve should be doable. If you really want wireless, I’d suggest considering something like RFM69 / RFM95 type radios. You can easily find a wide variety of form factors, optionally with integrated Arduino compatible MCU, from Adafruit.
It isn't too much of a stretch given the article. Real wages have been dropping for decades. If current wages returned to the amounts of the past, when the nuclear family was the norm, the ruling class profits would drop instead.
I work for a bank, back in April we were asked to come to the office once a day, per week (we're divided into groups, each group comes to the office every fourth day). For the most of us this is not an issue, even for me that this means having to drive 200 km or 124 mi, (even driving this distance is cheaper than moving to the city and paying an apartment). But I've have talked with some of my coworkers and we would all collectively resing if management makes us fully come back to work in the office.
Sorry for the clanky english btw.
In chemistry etc the properly-kept lab notebook is also an almost chain of evidence thing, both for scientific (integrity) and commercial (patents and such) reasons. I.e. never erase, only strike-through so previous error is still readable, numbered pages, each section dated and signed, properly kept index, ... all make it a lot harder to falsify things after the fact. (Nowadays there are also digital record-keeping tools that do timestamped signatures and such instead)
I have no problem with enhancing our lives thru technology, but seeking eternal life in this universe is incredibly stupid because you're effectively seeking eternal damnation. Eventually someone captures you, locks you away and tortures you for thousands of years if not forever.

Creating heaven is hard, but hell is well within reach.
ElectroBOOM on youtube has 5.2M subscribers and that's exactly what he does: Every video he zaps himself, but while also trying to be educational.

I prefer EEVBlog as a result: No nonsense, no clickbaity titles (mostly). He's discussed the merits of "selling out" and had a frank discussion online with ElctroBOOM:

Avoiding Windows operating would be an ethical choice going forward, in my opinion. Windows has become a bloatware; it's a memory hog - no amount of RAM is enough. And to top if off, with every update, your hardware becomes obsolete because it lacks a fancy chip.

With Office products being increasingly accessible via the web browser, I think corporations should really start thinking about weaning themselves off Windows.

The fact you think that Twitter supports "left orthodoxy" just means the conservatives have successfully moved the goalposts to make you believe they're the real victims.

Twitter is full of very prominent hard-right voices. Douglas Murray! Charles Murray! Tucker Carlson! Dave Rubin! Ben Shapiro! Edit: Bannon! Paul Joseph Watson! Jack Posobiec!
> even significant fraction of one’s braking needs
It's easily practical if you drive in a non-aggressive way. (Its not a race )

I frequently coast up to red lights and stop signs, shedding 25-50% of my miles per hour, but brake wear is greater under heavier loads so doing 25% less breaking is a lot more than 25% savings on wear & tear.

I'm not sure what % is a "significant" threshold for you, but >25% is definitely significant to me.
I've got a spare parts engine sitting in my garage for a classic vehicle. But 35 years from now, I don't expect it'll be any easier to find a motor controller for a 35 year old EV.
The title of this article seems to have little to do with its contents.

There is commentary about the involvement of men and women in the workforce over time, but nothing about the outcomes for various family members on metrics that matter to them. There isn't even an obvious definition of "nuclear family" in the article.

What would "working" even mean to this author?
You can't edit DSD data in any conventional sense. This makes the use of fully DSD recordings rather limited in more or less any style of recorded music.

Here is a trick for learning how to make your hand “hover” that I was taught by the old pros when I joined the animation industry.

Take a pencil. A wooden one, not a mechanical one. Sharpen it. Then hold it so that the entire side of the exposed cone of graphite touches the paper, rather than the tip. Your thumb will be on one side of the pencil, with all four fingers in a row on the opposite side, rather than sort of clustered around the front of the pencil.

Now try to draw some lines. You will get very broad lines and probably have little control, because this grip forces you to keep your wrist still, and gives you very little room for your fingers to move the pencil either. It will feel very weird and awkward at first! You’ll have to make a bunch of big, broad motions because you’ve probably never tried to make fine motions like this with your arm in your entire life. It’s okay, you’ll get better!

A great way to get better: take a piece of paper, and draw a circle in the upper left corner, just barely touching the edges of the paper. Don’t worry about making a nice circle, don’t go over it multiple times, just make one simple sorta-circular gesture. Now move to the right and draw another circle, just touching the first one and the tip of the paper. Repeat for a whole row, then do another row that just touches the bottom of the previous row, until you’ve filled the whole page.

Your circles will probably look better by the end of the page. I did this every morning as a warm-up for one of my first animation jobs, and the circles got a lot better, and tighter, over the course of not much time.

Once you have learnt this, you can easily transfer this new control of your arm motions to tools held in other grips. I mostly work digitally, and have to address the tablet with the stylus’ tip for it to register, but I still move my arm with the fluidity learnt from this exercise.

As a bonus this is also a lot better for your arm. Keeping the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Fairy away is very much a thing grizzled old animators wanted to teach the new kids coming in, they’d seen great careers cut short by injuries.

(You could also probably keep holding the pen in a more vertical fashion and use a wrist brace to keep your wrist from moving, if this is all too damn weird for you.)
Correct. In theory, even if the only way to get it was to walk up to a public library in East Timor and find it in the "card catalog," and it wasn't available anywhere else, it's prior art.

A recession isn't defined by employment it's defined by two quarters of negative growth, which we've had. Job numbers can be explained by a variety of factors, in this case likely excessive government spending however as inflation hits that's going to either come to an end or tank the economy (or both)

What is kind of concerning though is the current administration changed the definition of recession, and then instead of calling them out on it we've seen MSM/Tech update to match this and censor any dissent. Wikipedia, for instance, changed the definition for the Biden administration and then locked the page
All good points, and all proving that the methods used by Musk are unreliable for saying who is or isn't a bot - thus proving Twitter's point.

Only if each and every invocation is synchronous, sequential, with zero concurrency, and from a single lambda.

Let's put it this way: a REST API made with API Gateway + AWS Lambda invokes a lambda at least once per HTTP request to a single resource. You can have multiple deployments, and multiple deployment stages.
I have fond memories of Allen's book Anatomy of Lisp. I guess there are only historical reasons to read it now, but at the time it felt like an introduction to wizardry.
> non-obvious to a person skilled in the trade

As evaluated by a patent office with a profit motive to find it non-obvious. No, I'm not joking. USPTO is funded entirely from fees.
Modern day AI will only augment the writing of patents. Nothing more than an advancement of technology. There is potential in seeking legal-advantage through the use of advanced analytical capabilities... but I can't imagine industry will invest in fully automated and/or mass generation of "ideas" for potential profit with the exception of patent-trolling.

I see this Patent Act as a signal that USPTO is primarily concerned with a quality patent system; as opposed to a loose philosophies that would degrade patent quality but likely heighten patent application submissions, and subsequent flood of trials that would all benefit their revenue streams.
Thank you. Skimming this was much more informative.
For a moment I thought this project might be related to Bob / BaDBob, the old Amazon internal build system.

Nevertheless, a build system that works with Nix for reproducible builds is really cool.
With that approach then all nuclear families contain subset single-parent and childless families as well.
Right. You still end up mostly writing bash scripts when wrangling Nix. It's not some sort of ivory tower Haskelish hermetic ecosystem, it's just a very nice way to make bash scripting sane.

I don't see anything egregious here. Being critical of your government is a protected right for USA. Everyone gets a moment to state their case if they'd like to make an accusation.

Suing sounds offensive, but that is the official process for submitting an issue that a government can understand and address. I'm seeing some comments here that seem aghast at the audacity to accuse the government at your own peril, and it shows an ignorance of history.
That's not particularly new - fail videos have been around for decades.
Yippee! DJB for the win for the rest of us!
We need prediction markets. It is evil that government kills prediction market companies. Prediction markets are needed to OUT establishment politicians that are far worse that challengers. (For both sides of the partisan spectrum) It is evil that government kills prediction market companies.
To be fair, Musk himself stated when he hosted SNL that he "runs human on 'emulation mode,'" so calling himself a bot might be consistent.
The encryption is fine, that's just a way to avoid it. Much like how tire-iron attacks don't break passwords so much as bypass them.
No, it was not replaced by VR. I am a trans humanist. As soon as there's a better than natural artificial heart proven to work for decades and with low risks, I will happily undergo surgery. Major cause of death avoided.

My eyes are good for now, but I imagine in 20 years they will start really going downhill. If there's an artificial option, I will switch.

Same goes for most organs.

Unfortunately all these advances are decades away. Connecting to the nervous system isn't a solved problem, so no comparable arms or hands any time soon, even though they may be much more durable, strong, fast very soon. You still need the skin to feel. OK, maybe not "need", but really want.
"Memory safety is pretty easy to catch" - my experience over the last 18 months or so on a large C++ open source project says very much otherwise, almost every week a new NPE or core dump/access violation seems to leak into the codebase. These simply can't happen in many other languages and many now even have good support for non-optional references, ruling out entire classes of bugs that can suck up significant developer time to track down. And for long running systems memory leaks can also be a substantial cause of instability.
If I were working on a safety critical system I'd actively push to avoid using C/C++ unless there really was no alternative.
And yes modern OS kernels are pretty good evidence that it is possible to do but I'd suggest it requires exceptional programmers and some very rigorous processes to enforce.

As a former orchestra player I can say that, with a good hi-fi system, the difference is audible, in terms of soundstage size/depth, not in details.

I have a couple systems, one is a proper hi-fi system. If the album is mastered without brick-wall normalization, the difference is easier to hear.

When I listen the same album via my DAC, from MP4, I enjoy it. When I listen the same album, from a CD, I sit in front of the system like a rabbit blinded by lights.

The DAC is the same. It’s a Yamaha CD-S300 with a proper iPod interface, which carries the signal digitally till DAC.

This ABX test is the same. You need a high fidelity chain to enjoy it. I have a nice sound card, but the speakers connected to it can’t handle the resolution put out by it.
