It is, but it also influences how the software and hardware actually execute, making it a kind of program. Essentially every program that accepts any kind of data is really operating as a virtual machine, a software specified computer. It interprets the data and performs actions conditioned on that input.

mp3 files are instructions to an audio producing "computer", mp4 to an audio/video "computer". Whether it's a software description of the machine or a hardware implementation. Zip files are data, but when run through a decompression program they determine what gets decompressed (the program determines how) making them instructions for the decompression computer. The text of a text file opened in an editor providing rendering instructions. TCP packets are data, but they influence the TCP state machine, which is an explicit rendering of the idea that the software (sometimes hardware in this case) is describing a computer and the data (packets) represent instructions that effect the state of that computer.

However, this interpretation is usually not explicit so the manner of these virtual machines is ad hoc and ill-specified (if at all).

Why? Elon is not the guy who gonna do it.

He wants freedom of speench under his control.

Tesla for instance is very much anti open source.
Can you be more specific? There are plenty of satisfied customers.
Never mind the almost unbearable cringe of incrementing a buzzword by not one, but two counts - do you have an explanation what exactly warrants this increment at all? The only thing in there that I don't remember as "web3" are the decentralized web nodes, and I'm not really sure whether those are new either.

Not trying to be sarcastic, I think topics like DID are important, especially as BigTech looks set to try to kill passwords.
Neat, but it'd be nice if I could filter by min and max price.
Well Musk also said he'll layoff 75% of staff so it wouldn't be too surprising that he'd layoff staff. He's backtracked on that but he's still laying off staff.
here is the context for the rest of his tweets:

He was absolutely and obviously questioning and denying the election results. Maybe that should be a bannable offense, but that isn't what they did.
Some of that might be differences in business areas. Have you had to do paperwork for R&D tax deductions? It’s pretty flexible. Like “did you do a design doc for a new thing?” “Did you have to solve a problem for which the answer wasn’t obvious ahead of time?” So a lot of “normal engineer” activities are R&D. So maybe they have too many engineers, or maybe they have less non-engineers and just not a lot of revenue due to their niche market coverage. Aka I’m not sure R&D equals innovation equals revenue.

> They both corrected the articles after 3 hours

Because they got caught. How long would those articles have remained up if nobody else had done the journalists' investigation jobs for them and then reported the incorrect story? Would the journalists who "broke" the story ever have bothered to verify it themselves? Would they have issued a correction at all if it didn't quickly become public knowledge that the story was fake?
I use LiDar in the USA for finding places to metal detect.
I don't think this is the case; the whole field of AI seems pretty healthy at the moment, not failing, and not all that worried about the inaccuracy of their model (It's only a model /Patsy -- but it can still host the whole song-and-dance).
Justice doesn't restore a life. That's why yelling "fire!" in a crowded theater is actually illegal.
No, it's there. Look at the scandal around the assassination of Abe and the Unification Church. The church has had the main party of Japan bought and paid for for decades.

I realized recently there’s no evidence that they don’t, but a wealth of evidence that they do.

I watch animals very closely now and I see more all the time that they are just like me in most ways. I suppose I used to watch them as a person who eats them, and my comfort with doing so depended on not seeing them as conscious creatures like me. Now that I don’t eat them, it’s as though there are more similarities than there are differences.

I suspect if animals could speak, we’d realize they’re remarkably similar to us. This probably sounds ridiculous to many people, and would have to me once too.

A key part of this is not that I’m elevating animals’ conscience to that of humans so much as lowering humans’. We tend to think we’re exceptional, but I think our exception is probably just intelligence. The rest, I don’t know, I suspect we’re all very much alike.
> in practice their lawyers will be telling them this is their recommendation to minimise legal risk, and I have no doubt that they’ll listen to their lawyers and do what they say.

there isn't even a need to see a lawyer about this. there's literally no issue here for the company to ever get sued over. the only risk here is for Elon himself to be reprimanded by the Tesla board. and the chances of that happening are below zero.
Interesting, I still see $249 with click the box for $60 off.
Twitter is more of a platform imo, that has to have more permissive policies than a niche forum like HN. Benevolent dictatorships (especially opt-in ones) are great for smaller discussions. And people literally can go have their own discussion about celebrity gossip or whatever that would get killed on HN, in another forum.

Twitter is more like a utility, and if it wants to occupy that position it should be more open to content that people disagree with or don't like.
I guess I meant "Last time I checked, they are all members of NATO"
The legal system largely doesn't have to worry about advertisers and users fleeing the country.
spiking neural networks are interesting though, and new computational substrates that allow for experiments at larger scales could produce some interesting results.

today's sum n' squash (sometimes not even squash) graph networks were just kind of a curiosity before gpus turned them into a new very successful computational paradigm. maybe we'll see something similar with these high element count optical spiking graphs, even if they aren't great approximations of the real biology.

i like to think that a new analog computational substrate (or mixed analog and digital system) will be what drives the next leap in machine computation.
> It turns out to be buried under a "more" menu, so I maintain that this is a niche feature that you'd need to go out of your way to suffer.

I never turned it on or tapped on it, and don't follow any topics. It still intersperses "Comedy", "Crypto", and "Movies" tweets (labelled as such) into my main timeline.

And I don't know why you don't see "popular tweets" (it's actually "More tweets", I misspoke). I've been seeing those for years in the exact same context I described.
I don't see why anyone would bother to target Musk with a false flag attack; he's been doing a fine job of shitting the bed all by himself.

Let it play out.
I have the same question. And why not go a step further? Set a default ACL on the home directory.
I'm going to reply to my own comment to extend the last point, because I think it's important to point out:

I think it's clear, and that everyone would agree, that if you showed up here on HN making fun of another commenter for their gender in exactly the way that the Bee did, using exactly the same words, that you'd be banned. And we'd all agree that you should be banned.

I think the logical trap that the "free speech" folks are falling into here is that this doesn't "feel" targetted in the same way. It's a "media organization" making fun of a "public figure" and neither the Bee nor Levine are part of "your community". So Twitter banning them doesn't feel like community enforcement of norms, it feels political. And since the Bee is on "your side" you feel like they must have been wronged.

So maybe you should be constructing arguments around whether or not Twitter consitutes a "community" with "norms"? Maybe it doesn't, I'm willing to hear arguments. But the idea that the article wasn't hateful jut doesn't fly as I see it. It was awful, and the only way to see otherwise is to get into a headspace where Levine isn't part of "your community" and thus her feelings don't matter.
I happen to believe that my current movie and tv collection already use sane and consistent filenames. Certainly they're sane enough for Plex (and most are set by the Scene). If you're suggesting a directory per movie, we disagree on what is sane.
It's cool how HN discussions predictably get distracted from the main point.

The main point was that the claims made by the new owner are demonstrably false.

The new owner claimed that unbanning decisions would be made by a new moderation council. While he was saying this, a slew of right-wing and conspiracy accounts were reinstated even though the council does not yet exist.

Meanwhile here we are, debating gender and sexuality.
"He was absolutely and obviously questioning and denying the election results"

And ginning up the capital mob.... but keep ignoring the context.
Trying to understand the plot in Nolan's movies.
You could make that argument about any group that has a large amount of critics. Congress, for example, has an approval rating under that of trans people.

I propose Twitter bans anybody who "berates" a politician. If we don't do that then Twitter is allowing the environment to be too unpleasant for one the most marginalized groups out there.

Why would my plan be bad, but yours good?

Just because there is an environment that is too unpleasant for some people to remain in, doesn't mean that environment should change to conform to the wants of that person. People who are sensitive to sound can't go to some loud bar and demand everybody stop making noise. (Well they could demand it, but nobody will care). The bar isn't forcing the person to leave by not lowering the volume.
HN still suffers from what I call the "Everyone is an idiot but me" mentality. There is also a bit of outrage from time to time about small things. But the fact that it is the worst that happens here is saying a lot though. HN really is very well moderated and the guidelines are concise, reasonable, and simple to understand. It really helps that HN has a narrow set of topics. No idea how this could possibly scale to the size of twitter.

is there anything stopping me from writing a browser extension to make posts on the site automatically? i did work for a guy on that sort of setup spamming used car dealership ads, and it may have been a hastle keeping it running but we got plenty of ads out.
I was looking at an old video card I have, the GeForce 4600ti, and remembering thinking it was _huge_ at the time compared to my Voodoo 3 3000 before it. Then the 8800gt seemed huge. Then the RX480. Then my current 3070.

At a certain point it's just stupid. My work laptop (Macbook Pro M1 Max) can do some very impressive stuff in such a small quiet package, and it just makes sense to go with a single large APU in the future.
All of these APIs are going to be very reliable fingerprinting opportunities, especially in combination. Keep that in mind when you think it’s going to be great for your web browser to also be a full featured application runtime.
It's possible that the reduced usage from a bad experience costs less than the gain from de-anonymizing visitors. Because they are under FTC consent orders, their ability to connect shadow profiles to anonymous visitors for improved targeting may be limited, and they are willing to piss you off because that's more effective from a metric perspective.

Not saying it's the right way of doing business or that it won't bite them in the butt... but they definitely don't "need" to do it to save the business if the analytics point otherwise.
Fair point.

I haven't done the math because nobody is paying me to. But your example of Amazon might reinforce my point in that all three components (retail, ads, AWS) reinforce each other. Amazon is trying to be the "Everything App" also because they see synergies (even if only in shared infra).

And Amazon can afford to be less agressive with ads because it's a smaller part of their business, compared to (e.g.) Meta or Twitter. Apple is in a similar place: they can afford to care more about privacy because they don't make money from ads.

The more revenue Twitter can get from non-ad sources, the better the user experience (in my opinion).

But you're right that there's no guarantee that they will be able to get much non-ad revenue.
...as I mentioned, the vast majority of this money goes towards things like paying people to read legislation, prepare presentations, and speak with politicians. It's not "literal legalized bribery."
We should also note that the article only references the over-dramatic comparison to biological neurons in passing in the first paragraph (wonder if it is an "author gets it, but doesn't get to pick the title" type problem).
If only we could all agree that the idea that only one race can be bigoted and racist is in itself racist.
> ironically people have been complaining more about Intel NICs than Realtek recently but that’s anecdotal still IMO

I'm not sure if Realtek is getting better, I've heard a lot of issues with Intel 2.5G nics; people say some revs of the hardware are unusable at 2.5G (but do work fine at 1G). Personally, I've only got good things to say about Intel 1 and 10G nics I've worked with.

For me, Realtek 1G works ok until it doesn't, it's possible to overwelm the hardware with traffic and then you get bad behavior --- queues get stuck or seem to get stuck and the queue processing doesn't always fully reset when you tell it to --- this can lead to wild writes, following descriptors that the OS thought were dead. Sometimes better results with Realtek's drivers than open source drivers, but they frob the hardware with crypticly named defines, and I've seen them send pause frames (which nobody wants) with no way to disable. On one machine, using Realtek's drivers results in immediate kernel panics, so it's not universally great. The interrupt design is poor anyway --- MSI-X dates from 2002, they could have used a separate irq for rx, tx, and misc, rather than a single interrupt and a status register. But that might be ok if the status register worked properly. It's too easy to have timing issues when poking the status register and then you don't get interrupts you should. I haven't touched their 2.5g hardware, hopefully they fixed some stuff.
well, it is. so the problem is the quest to get rid of bots.
+1, for anyone who doesn't stay signed in it's a "go away" signal - which is ironic because those people are more likely to sign in if they are allowed to read more.
Isn't something like this a felony?
Google, Apple, and Mozilla apparently all failed to find a solution to this problem, even though lots of people wanted there to be a solution. Certainly, any browser that shipped this feature in a privacy-respecting manner would have bragging rights for awhile, so there is an incentive. Given that, I don't think I'm exaggerating the difficulty of the problem. This problem is also very similar to the challenges brought by Spectre-class vulnerabilities, and that one has been enormously costly for the whole industry.

I think it is completely fair to say that privacy-respecting shared caches are not simple.

Some solutions can be imagined, but they come with weird trade-offs or they do nothing for majority of the web. A new manifest format like you describe falls into the latter, since it would only apply to new websites using the new feature, and that’s without digging into the other problems it would pose.

In practice, people often visit the same websites repeatedly; they aren't constantly visiting new websites only once. A partitioned cache works just fine for the normal scenario. It's slightly less efficient for the first day someone uses their browser, but then things are honestly fine after that. It's unfortunate that we can't eek out the last tiny bit of performance for this, but I think the difference would be hard to measure in practice.

In my opinion, if websites would more commonly use brotli, that would make a far larger difference in efficiency than returning to a shared cache, and if browsers could have a standardized means of downloading only the bytes that changed in an asset like a javascript library instead of downloading the new version from scratch, that would make a much bigger difference too.
For some reason many of these people that lose trust in traditional media immediately start trusting "independent media" on YouTube that happens to agrees with their views or ways of seeing the world.
Oh, I see. I have no idea. My intuition is that it's like a standard loan, as in he can do whatever he wants but if he doesn't pay it back then they'll come after his other assets he supposedly put up as collateral. That's just me guessing. I have no idea how that works at that scale of financing.
I agree, it is super annoying. I can see why they do it though. They want to be able to serve you more lucrative ads, and they want to be able to count you as an active user. (Now that I think about it, they probably count anon visitors somehow, but IDK how they would count them without massively overcounting.)
My guess: The Taiwanese companies that build most of the GPU boards will supply a fix sooner than Nvidia.

This is not exactly a hard thing to competently and cost-efficently build in Taiwan.

It's reasonable to moderate content beyond the pale. But that's on the platforms.

I kind of think it would be better to have Tesla engineers working on the Tesla codebase since they're familiar with it instead of moving them over to the Twitter codebase that they'll need to come up to speed on.
For the record, I was very surprised to get a downvote for this. I think it's very common, more or less universal actually, to forget that we are only alive for a tiny slice of human history - and it's basically absurd to imagine that things that happen right now will remain uniquely important for all of future time. Basically this is flawed thinking, like those fallacies that people routinely debunk here. Of course one way that this thinking might not actually be flawed is if it turns out there's not too much future time (for the human race). And my comment covered that too, more elegantly than I'm doing here.
The thing I don't get here is that literally every browser already uses Sqlite3 for a million things, why are we not just finally acknowledging that, yes, this very specific library is a universal good, just like gzip compression, or the jpeg image format, and here's the JS API for directly working with it?

Why do we need a separate WASM version of something that's already built right into every single browser? Why is there no all-browser-vendor-blessed `Sqlite3` global?
Oddly enough, this is the first time I have read their reasoning for the ban. I did not know they had an article on it until now.

Having read the link given to Twitter's interpretation of "context" of the other tweets he made, my conclusion is that it is impossible to dispassionately read the cited tweets and come to the conclusion they did without having a number of unstated priors, based entirely in partisan animus.

The tweets literally do not say what Twitter claims they say. Up until now I had taken it on faith (well, more like widely reported media exposure) that he had actually "incited violence"; but after reading the cited tweets, I am left scratching my head. "Wait, that's it?" was the thought I had. It is election conspiracy mongering, sure, and perhaps that is not something Twitter wants to be in the business of carrying, but that is not the reasoning they used here.

No violence incitement exists in those tweets. Pure and simple. "I am not going to the inauguration" is such a plain, short, and inoffensive statement that reading anything else into it says more about the person doing the reading than it does the speaker.
Well that sucks if true, but at least an i2c GPIO expander/servo board is not out of the question I guess.

I guess it depends on the subreddit and mods, but most subreddits I've been to are littered with jokes, memes, and various levels of anger. They are usually hilarious but not what I want to wade through most of the time. It hides the useful info.
I think the debate on misgendering being a "hate crime" is a bit pedantic. A lot of normal things between friends, lovers, acquaintances, colleagues pr strangers can be considered criminal or normal depending on circumstances / context. The idea that you're going to be jailed by accidentally misgendering your buddy is just moral panic at the expense of trans folks.

If I walked around the office calling my male co-worker by some random female name as a form of ridicule I'd end up on those cheesy videos they make you watch for sexual harassment training.
