This could happen in Marin county too. Can't build a house next to these other houses because there is no water or sewer hookup, and catch22, can't hook up water and sewer because some nesting owls in the area, which are apparently wholly unaffected by all the existing development but would surely be wiped out should you build another 40'x40' building in the area.
> Understanding something doesn't mean you know how to explain it to someone else.

Too true. Explaining things is hard. My gripe is mainly people's tendency to pretend they understand in perpetuity, instead of expressing a modicum of curiosity about it. "What does 'TPS' stand for actually?" As mentioned, explaining things is hard, and I think I'm not alone in needing help identifying gaps in my explanations.

That said, I also understand that there are huge social barriers to admitting a lack of understanding in the tech industry, especially for juniors.
Actually on dating, whatever grabs attention grabs attention. What wins is the genuine connections made.

Twitter lacks the latter. It's just attention.

He lost money before on his childish outbursts. Why is this supposed to be different?
Which is basically unusably buggy.

For example, tf.sort only sorts up to 16 values and overwrites the rest with -0. Apparently not fixed for over one year: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/689299

Also, tf.random always returns the same random numbers: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/69705

Although I guess these bugs are not the fault of Tensorflow's plugin architecture but rather Apple's implementation.

>Humans aren't clownfish and cannot change their gender.

Hit the nail on the head here. Hence, the medical community's current response is to adjust the individual's body, appearance and treatment from others to match their gender as closely as possible.
I mean, 13-year olds are actual children, so I don't know what "her side of the story" at the time would be. 7th graders don't typically have a great grasp on capturing narrative, or you know, basic geometry.
I think the "bot" versus "real" account differentiation is quite irrelevant in practice.

For example, every now and then I check what some elected Canadian politicians have tweeted recently.

Even though these are Twitter accounts that would probably be considered "real", and they often have a check mark, pretty much everything they tweet is, in effect, following a script.

Often, these tweets are just a useless acknowledgement of some obscure holiday celebrated by some unrelated ethnic or religious group that they want the votes of, or they're tweets delivering pointless congratulations for an irrelevant "accomplishment", or they're tweets regurgitating some very specific party talking point that a bunch of other representatives from the same party are simultaneously regurgitating.

These accounts are seen as "real" accounts corresponding to "real" people, yet what they produce is consistently some of the most artificial content I've ever seen.
looking forward to playing with this!

If their intention was to reduce violence from his supporters, then why did they delete the video he uploaded at 4:16 that stated

“I know your pain. I know you’re hurt. We had an election that was stolen from us,” he said. “It was a landslide election, and everyone knows it, especially the other side. But you have to go home now. We have to have peace. We have to have law and order. We have to respect our great people in law and order. We don’t want anybody hurt.”

The president called it a “very tough period of time,” calling the election “fraudulent.”

“But we can’t play into the hands of these people,” Trump said. “We have to have peace. So go home. We love you. You’re very special. You’ve seen what happens, you see the way others are treated that are so bad and so evil. I know how you feel. But go home and go home in peace.”

> who led his violent supporters to the capitol
The capitol was breached while Trump was still speaking to the larger crowd several blocks away.

if twitter's goal was reduction of violence, then they would have amplified Trump's video calling for peaceful dispersion, not delete it.

That's fair, but if you tell me there's a simple biological definition of sex, odds are pretty good you have a relatively simple model.
That's fair, I forgot how awful the captions can be. Still not sure how we got to a situation where, when watching a video on my Google phone, the phone can make vastly better, and near real-time, captions than YouTube can.

It's very nice that they're open about borrowing ideas that they like from other projects.
Perhaps the difference lies in impact: Apple's innovation is tangible. I can feel the cold M1 Max laptop and appreciate the fact that it doesn't heat up or annoy me with fan noise. I notice my phone's speed when it executes javascript.
Lots of people (not me) seem to enjoy wireless headphones, and the ease of connection afforded by the H1/H2 chips.

I simply do not care about deep learning and NLP advancements. They invariably end up used to recommend me more garbage that I do not want. The only "ML" feature I can think of that's made my life any better? Facial recognition in Google Photos, because it's easy to find pictures of a specific person or animal. But that still mixes people up routinely, and is by no means comprehensive. Not to mention the fact that it's likely used to profile and track me behind the scenes at Google. I could take it or leave it.

I prefer DSLR pictures to smartphone photos, so I don't really care about ML image processing pipelines in phones much. Maybe night sight counts as an advancement, but I don't use it. Again -- DSLR, if I care about the photos at all.

The Pixel phones have some neat "ML" features, like instant translation and mostly-good transcription, that are definitely neat. But I'm not convinced that those matter much to me.

Cloud orchestration innovations have surely happened, but again, I'm not convinced they're a net good for the world. Kubernetes? Sure, it's impressive. In some cases it's damn useful. But it's also a great way to overcomplicate cloud machine management. Most smaller companies would probably do better with physical machines, cutting the cloud out entirely.

TL;DR: I can feel and see Apple's innovations. Google's are usually more indirect... and even when I can see them, I'm not convinced they're true useful advancement. They often feel like gimmicks.
> * High def video

Maybe as a paid/subscriber feature; even YouTube seems to have a cost problem with high def video. Video ads are barely profitable, I can't imagine serving high quality video content at a loss being a good business decision.

> * Focus on music publication

I think this is a niche that Twitter currently excels at. The music industry constantly has small announcements which is well suited for Twitter's format. Should be fairly easy to add a high quality music player, and that should also save a bit on bandwidth costs since musicians currently upload a video just to play music.

Plus, if you look at musician profiles, many pay for a linktree-like service since Twitter only supports one profile link; they can easily capture much of that business for themselves.

Funnily enough, this is what MySpace tried to pivot to be. Every music brand wants to have some sort of home page they can use for advertising/promoting and communications. Difference is Twitter currently has a critical mass of musicians.

> * Removal of twitter blue but some kind of subscriptions to edit tweets

Just charge for verification. They can even be cute and make different kind of verification checkboxes with additional information like they currently do for politicians (maybe even charge the politicians). Easy ones off the top of my head: business owner with business info, musicians, brands.

> * Paid push DMs to followers (e.g. follow this account for drops, then the tweeter has to pay to tweet to this group)

They kinda did this the other way around, OnlyFans style, which makes sense since there's more people consuming tweet than notable people making tweets. Users can pay/subscribe to get noticed by the tweeter. I believe Instagram also recently launched a similar feature. There's a lot of value in having an OnlyFans feature set without the pornographic association. Or Patreon but with a massive userbase.
This is not true.

Defamation (libel and slander) in the US is distinct depending on how well known the victim is. For a famous victim, yes you must essentially know the statement was false.

But if the victim is not a public individual, you need only act with negligence (e.g. violate the reasonable person standard). The litter box story, for example, doesn't involve famous people, it's like random local school districts, and no reasonable person would believe it to be true. The Trevor project likely does constitute a public organization, so the standard is higher, but only requires actual malice, which means "reckless disregard" for the truth of the statements. It's probably not met, because it is a high standard, but it doesn't actually require that they know themselves to be lying.
Sadly even after dang has stated that conversations should be thoughtful, people are still posting provoking and low-quality disingenuous comments.

I don't even understand how a human being can get so invested in something they will never have control over, even more so now that Twitter is owned by a private person.

"gender" as a term on its own is used very confusedly by a lot of people, but there's a simple definition that makes things clear: "gender == sex". The trick is that "gender" disambiguates that you mean "sex as it relates to a social context" instead of "sex as it relates to a biological context".

Where this all gets cleared up is that you should use more specific terms such as "Gender norms", "gender presentation", etc. Someone of the male gender can present as very feminine, but that doesn't make them a woman. It is not bad that their gender presentation is at odds with the gender norms expected of their gender, but their gender is not fluid and doesn't change. Only their gender presentation.

I realize I'm probably tilting at windmills here, but if everyone realized that gender is simply sex as it relates to social contexts and got more specific with their terminology, there'd be a lot less talking past each other.
I guess he has to pretend he cares about bots since he kicked up such a fuss about it, but I don’t think he’ll end up spending much energy on it
Ya I get it, and that is one option, of many, for resolving this conflict. How do you think this ends if the Western powers keep funding the war and Ukraine takes Crimea? Do you think Putin will just say "OK" ?

Comparing Russia to Canada is in bad faith. Canada is a democracy, not run by a dictator.

Begging the question is when you conclude one of your assumptions. “That it’s intrinsically rewarding” is a finding not an assumption.

The study was definitely influenced by the popular notion of saving the bees, but that’s not a problem! I’d rather read about bees having fun than any other insect! I hope others feel the same and a friendlier sentiment towards bees (because of the study, a little bit) helps the whole problem.
imgur has taken to sometimes redirecting image links to the website instead of the file itself. For me, clicking the link twice worked to get the full 5000x5000 image.
That's one reason I did my own build myself. It's a pretty trivial matter for the average high-IQ HNer to spec, design, and build. The "hardest" part is understanding and adhering to the construction codes, and dealing with inspection bullshit.

If this is a reference to twitter following European law, I don't see why they wouldn't.

People's complaints about Twitter moderation aren't about the law, they're about governments being able to indirectly make de facto, unconstitutional law through either informal demands and threats to, or overly chummy and profitable relationships with, media companies. It's not hard to figure out why media and payment consolidation and monopolies are allowed/encouraged. They're ideal for government.

I don't understand how orchestrated bans across media companies and payment processors can be allowed when price-fixing isn't. They're behaving as trusts.
This comment feels needlessly defensive. I never said "I don't want to change anything", I gave reasons for rejecting changes.
I protested this exact thing at $workplace last year, but they said that the NIST recommendation was "only a draft", and that the NZ government security services hasn't yet updated their recommendation. So here we are, incrementing a number every couple of months to keep the robots happy.
You're right. ISIS is off now. I was thinking of the Taliban.
Every one of us has run into situations where choosing to be honest has materially cost us. You accidentally scratch a parked car on your way out. Do you stop and leave a note with contact info or not?

The richer you are, the more leverage you have and larger the material cost for these situations. A fellow rich friend gives you a little insider info that a stock you hold is about to crater. Do you sell some?

In other words, being honest is a tax, and the wealthier you are, the higher that tax rate. Given that, I think the only way to reach certain levels of wealth is by not paying that tax.

Therefore, I treat anyone at Musk's level of wealth as intrinsically untrustworthy. You don't get to be a billionaire by being a normal honest human. And if by miracle you should happen to, being a billionaire I think fundamentally changes your psychology such that you cease to be normal and honest. There may be exceptions, but I think they are exceedingly rare.

Billionaires are functionally a different species.
Not to pile on, but their VPN service leaves me disappointed occasionally as well.

At one point on my macos, logging back in after sleep basically kill-switched the whole OS, such that I couldn't connect to the Web no matter what. Only a reboot of the Mac worked. It got so bad, I had to switch VPNs.

Unfortunately, as I had prepaid my Proton VPN, I was stuck with them. Thankfully after a few months when I tried it again, it was back to normal.

Now here is the kicker - I tried to cancel the subscription, so that it would not be automatically renewed. The issue is this - if you cancel your subscription, you will lose any remaining months.

So essentially, they scumbag you into just chugging along in hopes you forget about it at the next renewal.

Also no way to remove credit card details to prevent automatic resubscription...

Really a whole host of dark patterns from a supposedly ethical company.
Because people have major blindspots to experiences they haven't lived through themselves. The sum total of all human experience has not yet been recorded in books, and those hypothetical books are not required reading for all humans, and even if they were, some people just wouldn't absorb the information due to their own biases.

"Play" as a concept, is a clear social construct.

The behaviors we call "play" is very obviously an innate instinctual behavior for humans, and is entirely plausible the same for bees.

I see little here to suggest that this implies sentience apart from simple anthropomorphism.
Not only that, such services - unlike a megaphone or the agora - are a) incentivised to keep you there, b) algorithmically curate the content that you view, and c) are businesses and their responsibility is first and foremost the shareholders and not the public.
At least to advertisers, eyeballs are not all divided equally.
The use of the "fi" ligature on a fixed-width font is also extremely jarring.
> India? definitely, too big a market to ignore

My personal opinion and absolutely dissociated from my employer: I am not going to talk about economic decisions or market pressure, but free speech standards should also be not framed around India's standards. A diverse council shouldn't have to include viewpoints that are wrong. Defining wrong is certainly a difficult measure to elaborate, but free speech standards that include some religious persecution are definitely in that wrong category. Bigots will always say that they aren't bigots.
It is funny to think of the hoops I jumped through to get things working nicely on an old Atom processor. My Makefiles were so good, everything was tracked compilation only happened when necessary...

Those are not the terms of the AGPL, etc - the terms you actually cited fit MIT, instead.

In any case, you're happy about leaving most businesses out - but that limits how much open source there is out there, and the quality. It forces, again and again, billions of dollars and scarce programming resources to be spent recreating software under one license to be replicated under, say, MIT. Witness the Android libraries replacing GNU libraries, Chromium replacing Webkit, and on and on and on. Absurdly wasteful, and in the end you get at least as much freeloading, which is the theft you're worrying about. That's what you're being happy about.

Copyleft is a genius idea, a wonderful idea (without the patent grab) but it can't fit all cases. A law that restricted code copyrights to four years (and forced code to be revealed or put into escrow) would perhaps be a better solution.

Imagine already being a bit nervous about your future and then seeing that one of the first priorities of the new CEO was to show up to the office and parade around the lobby with a porcelain sink in his arms?
Not my experience, at all. He’s been very consistent about what he values throughout the years. And he has also been very honest about when he had been wrong (say about “having egg on his face” about FSD timelines, or “seeing the world in radar”).
If I worked at Twitter and I knew that I was actively contributing to the bottom line then I wouldn't be worried.

If my job was approving the work of the guy who approves the work of the guy who writes emails for a living, then I'd be looking elsewhere.

I think that's who Musk is going to be targeting with the layoffs.

These people know who they are.

Given that he claims that he won the election in that video, yeah it makes sense to delete it.

> We had an election that was stolen from us,” he said. “It was a landslide election, and everyone knows it, especially the other side.

Is not a call for the peaceful transition of power and for people to go home. Speaking out of both sides of your mouth is not a call for peace. Trump's tweet wasn't an effort to reduce violence, it was an effort to continue to stoke the flames while appearing to help, and people didn't fall for it.
I can't look at seekingalpha without being logged in, which I refuse to do for publicly available information.

Anyway: Palantir is developing lots of new products, being in the security area, I imagine, while I don't know what RingCentral is doing.

* So you found a couple other big spenders and you want to single out those as your comparables. I'll be more impressed when you define a class of tech companies that you think are comparable. We can argue about whether they are, but in any case: where does TWTR rank in that class?

And then the subjective question: what have they delivered to shareholders for all that spending?
No, it's not. It took more characters to type your inaccurate comment than it would have to just type the damned name.
You can visit Twitter (logged out) and see tweets without ever having agreed to or being shown the TOS. After viewing 5 or so they put up a big "Please Register" popup that cannot be closed, but if you clear your cookies you're good again.
Because the tech market crashed right after his pledge and it makes no good financial sense to go through with a deal that includes a massive loss from the outset unless you're absolutely compelled to.

I don't see the causal connection people are drawing between this and his motivations and his vision for twitter, it's purely a financial logical decision to try to renegotiate or cancel the deal given the current market conditions.
Civil discussion requires decorum and rules, and Musk and other conservatives view those as "censorship".

To be fair, he hasn't delivered on most of his promises, and it's the trade-off for taking risks.

I'll happily oppose any racist law or coporate policy. Do you care to point me to any? And not just some "systemic racist" boogie man in the sky?
IMHO we should maintain GNU/Linux/BSD systems as tools that can free us, not entangle us or turn us into guinea pigs.

The world is already full of proprietary systems, including the one produced by the employer of systemd. WSL has improved a lot in the past years, he should be focusing on that, or at least use that as a testing ground.

Not confining new technology like systemd has lead to an infinite amount of CVEs to deal with in the past years, this could have been avoided by not allowing a tech prototype to bypass community adoption and impose itself as a ego-driven standard.
So he’s not a free speech absolutist.
