It’s sort of the opposite. A doctor telling a patient to exercise has a very small effect size because the people who need to don’t actually do it regardless of what they’re told. Patients repeatedly told to eat less and exercise more get frustrated and offended and insist on other therapies.

Let me solve it as a technical person. Whether management wants it or not is not my forte.

You want an API because other apps are better. Let those apps partner with Twitter to allow only humans and not a second order API. If they do that, they get kicked out faster than Fortnite got kicked out. Both Twitter and the API user need to own the relationship and guarantee its sanctity so it will likely require an investment bigger than $99 to be paid by the API user (app) to Twitter.

So you will not have infinite API apps, just a few of them, those who can pay the cost of providing and validating the API.
"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."

Really? I completely disagree. You'd have to burying your head in the sand to come to this conclusion IMO. Twitter isn't even saying that his tweets say "xyz", as you just described it. They go on length on how the tweets are being viewed and interpreted.
I can't prove it but it sure seems like once BackBlaze started posting reliability figures from their fleet it forced the hand of any manufacturer that was cutting corners to keep up their reliability or get hammered in the market.

I still have a bad taste in my mouth with regard to the Seagate HDD failure plague from about a decade ago.

Kudos to the BackBlaze team
One of my favorite "Stupid Security Things" is when creating accounts on banking, government, and other critically important websites and I'm met with stupid password requirements which actually forcibly reduce password security like "Sorry, your password may only contain letters and numbers. Special characters are not allowed."

(Believe it or not, this has been a far more common occurrence than it should be… Sometimes it even goes a step further by additionally limiting the length of the password to some insanely short length. "Must be between 2 and 8 characters." for example.)
Maybe im biased here.

From inside I feel pretty certain that the Republicans will win decisively. The economy, inflation, and general stress levels are just too high right now for the party in power to stay in office. Not the outcome I'm hoping for, but the world is feeling pretty bitey lately.

Here's a pretty good podcast on the topic, if you're interested: https://slate.com/podcasts/political-gabfest/2022/10/democra...
HN works because it exists to talk about tech and startup topics. Every time the topics veer off that course, the threads turn into dumpster fires EVEN THOUGH everyone is well aware that moderation is fairly strict. For something like twitter? That's impossible.
I would stay well within the law if I would reply to your post with "oh fuck off you retarded cunt!!!"

This would obviously fall well within the protections of free speech for many countries, certainly those of the U.S. And if you really wanted to you can go much nastier than that.

But I don't think it should be allowed here, or even on Twitter. Even using as an example here already feels iffy, but I feel adding it makes the point clearer.
Modern desktop Linux barely works, honestly. Its saving grace is the wide support for basically everything under the sun, both hardware and software-wise. But if you know what programs you need and they all run on a BSD, I don't see why you wouldn't use it. (Heck, I'm tempted from time to time)
Probably shouldn’t worry much about that:

While I wholeheartedly agree that Google should reverse the their actions in this case, I would argue that Google Drive/Photos is not the right "product" for medical (so, in the US, HIPPA-protected) data exchange.
It was the right mix of knowing when to be serious and when to throw in deadpan ridiculousness.

The clip I saw was about a minute and ended with one of the two saying he "needs to go check on his husband and wife"... while there are throuple relationships, I don't yet think they are possible in a legal marriage.
I'm pretty certain that safety of life is not the primary over-riding concern (also for good reason) - modern vehicles can be made much safer by requiring advanced safety features (see: https://www.consumerreports.org/car-safety/cars-with-advance...) - but these aren't mandatory because there is a cost associated with each life saved, and, at some point, we as a society don't value human life as much as $$$ - so that's the line we draw.
There are other meaningful political categories besides the ones that designate parties. Irving Kristol, the closest the movement has to a founder, himself embraced the label. And it's pretty uncontroversial which people decidedly belong and which don't: Richard Perle is one, Pat Buchanan is not; Jeane Kirkpatrick and James Q. Wilson are, Samantha Power and Noam Chomsky aren't.
Hmm, a minor quibble: "VLSI" would be normally more than 10k gates or 100k transistors on a single chip, wouldn't it? But the 8008 had only about 3500 transistors (I don't see an exact count in http://www.righto.com/2016/12/die-photos-and-analysis-of_24....) and so probably about 1000–1500 gates, so I think it should be called "LSI" rather than "VLSI".

A funny thing about the 8008 is that Intel's manual for its instruction set is unnecessarily shitty — even if you didn't know the history with Datapoint, the Intel manual is obviously not by the people who designed the instruction set because it's in hexadecimal, a tradition sadly followed by the 8080 and 8086 manuals. The Datapoint manuals, by contrast, are all in octal, making the machine code enormously easier to understand. (The H8 I grew up with used an Intel chip, but the front panel monitor program used octal.)

Calling Twitter the "defacto online political forum" which the vast majority of US citizens do no use (myself included) seems a little over the top don't you think. Twitter could disappear and I wouldn't miss the incessant whining about the stupid crap people say on Twitter.
"Age-old" may depend on your definition of age. I am in my upper sixties, and thought that I had a fairly encyclopedic knowledge of vulgar humor, but I had not encountered this one.
With the context of Elon saying it, yes. Diverse views where the views are all reasonable is one thing, allowing extremists a platform to misinform and radicalise is not. Elon has made it clear he thinks extremist rhetoric such as Trump's should be allowed.

A fair question.

I feel much of the mourning of lost trust in media comes down to crocodile tears (“concern trolling” - though I don’t cast that label on any comment here). The well meant and often needed pedantry of the informed serves the disingenuous demagogue readily. And the informed themselves are often distracted from a moral urgency by ambiguity.

Ambiguity is kin to science but alien to modern and popular modes of ethical judgement. This failure of critical moral thinking is the crux of media’s challenge when reporting on climate change. I don’t believe the hoi polloi distrust journalists because they too are current with the latest studies.

In our present crises, there seems to me a choice between hyperbole and bikeshedding. The latter suits the present powers, the former all the possibility of a future.
Certainly as soon as you move away from talking about programming there aer a bunch of people here who talk like they're experts but are absolutely incorrect. Which is a worry because I only notice it for things I already know about (process engineering and railway design/operation).

This is a perspective thing. But I just don't see that. I mean, sure, there are Internet Yahoos everywhere who run around calling people Nazis and whatnot. But do you have any examples of major abuse directed by big accounts with big audiences (i.e. the ones that attract the censors' attention) that should have been banned but weren't?

The Bee went way out on a limb with that article as I see it. And they got banned. Certainly other similar accounts (the Onion, say) aren't nearly as hateful.
There are many good reasons for leaving the EU. The fact is, the remain side are not remotely interested in knowing the whys, and wherefores, of the leave side. It’s plainly evident, from the disingenuous line(s) of “questioning”.

A lot of Twitter spam can easily be combated with more options under "who can reply/retweet", such as: only paid Twitter Blue subscribers, only followers, only verified users (especially with more ways to get verification), only users with verified phone numbers, etc.

Right now tweets are either completely public, completely private, or close-friends-only. If Twitter wants to easily solve the moderation problem; let people have moderation tools over replies to their tweets.

Then allow those restrictions as filters on the timeline, who can follow, who can DM, or as visibility for their own tweets, which can probably also be paid features.
What’s the prevailing thought you can’t go against here? I tend to be a right-leaning libertarian, but am liberal on some issues. I see conservative comments. I see liberal comments. I see plenty of “Something bad happened? That’s because of capitalism” comments. I see plenty of pro-capitalist comments. It seems to me that the moderation here is pretty balanced.
The whole "advertisers don't want their ads appearing next to xyz" has always felt contrived to me,

lol

General Motors just suspended all advertising on Twitter. I've no idea how much their Twitter ad spend compares to that of other companies but certainly GM is not a small company. While I'd love to see it come out that GM doesn't want to be associated with high profile antisemites and conspiracy theorists like Ye, I'd bet it's much more straightforward: GM doesn't want its ad dollars to fund or otherwise be associated with a direct competitor (Tesla).

The problem with a Musk owned Twitter is that there is such a vast range of conflicts of interest. With Musk at the helm it's just that much harder for a company facing social/political pressure to justify doing business with Twitter.

The question I haven't seen answered is how electric cars ever attain reasonable resale values.

The car I have owned and driven for years now cost me less than $1000, minimal maintenance, it's done 30,000 miles.

I don't think that a usable 100kWh lithium battery, alone, with no car attached, is ever going to depreciate to $1000 ($10 per kWh). As far as I know, the wholesale price of the metal itself is more than that.

The idea seems to be that loads of people just get priced out of driving entirely. So what happens to them? Are they all supposed to move out of all of the suburbs into urban housing that doesn't even exist yet?

It's not a matter of charging infrastructure, the viable replacement cars are going to cost 5x what they currently do as far as I can tell.
Right. So, is a stone box in a pyramid chamber that there is no evidence ever held a corpse, or even had a lid, and certainly will not have a corpse in the future, really a sarcophagus? It seems to depend on overconfident assumptions.

Given their experience, a decoy that looks like a looted tomb would just be good planning.
Yeah works great, Tensorflow works great as well, but if using pip need to install tensorflow-metal and tensorflow-macos. Plus I always need to downgrade protobuf to 3.20. And couldn't get the C bindings for Tensorflow to work through metal, only through CPU.

Your assumption is that legal speech has no negative real-world consequences.

But look at the mass shooter Dylan Roof, among others. They targeted minorities and were solely radicalized in online forums according to their manifestos. Or, look at the strain on hospitals that anti-vaxxers put us through. These people were partly influenced by online misinformation.

Concerns about speech in the age of social media have little to do with A's speech impacting person B. It's A's speech influencing person X, Y and Z which then has an unpredictable negative impact on person B.

This wasn't a big problem 15 years ago before social media. It's a new problem and many people haven't updated their paradigm given the new environment we're now in.
Not exactly impressive, nature is famous for calling it quits once something works well enough. Anyone who wants to can create a non-biological neuron/axion connection that runs orders of magnitude faster. The real question is "but does it actually do something" because that's where nature shines pretty well.

Every time I've reported something it's taken well over a week for Twitter to respond; all denied, and all of them were very clear-cut cases IMO (I don't have the exact phrasings at hand, but all involved people fantasising about smashing someone's face in with a brick because they didn't like something they said).

I don't expect moderation to be 100% consistent or 100% perfect, but now it just seems like such a random unpredictable crapshoot that it's pretty broken IMO.

You are (economically) right-wing because of your views about equality of opportunity vs outcome, which is an incredibly right-wing framing of the debate. You dating a trans woman or hating Reagan doesn't make you not right-wing; plenty of trans women are themselves right-wing.
To be fair to those people, they probably, by and large, have no idea what to actually do. Starting from nothing, changing your diet to something healthy and learning how to be active at all is kind of huge, like maybe a university course or two worth of info to get started. I think many people who are open to change in spirit are just lost, and that’s before facing the uphill battle of habit change in general.
The HN community is filled with a bunch of geeky, technical know-it-alls... but I probably wouldn't have it any other way.

The moderation and thoughtful approach to community is undoubtedly the best I have seen on the Internet.

It's not for everyone, but it is for me, which is why I refresh the page more times than any other page during the course of the day.

I can't imagine another community that isn't specialist getting close to be honest.

But I would love it if the rest of the Internet were as intellectually curious - this is the core of HN.

I assume there's something wrong with the contracts, because it's obvious to anyone following the industry, and it's been widely and thoroughly covered for decades (see links at the bottom or search the press, university publications, or ProQuest). It's true for all these contracts, and especially those with black artists and athletes.

Kanye made specific points that the contracts are unfair, with 'talent' not being paid fairly, and having their creative freedom restricted. He also argues that control over distribution is essential, and black people are underrepresented both as record label owners, and as distributors, therefore leading to a huge power imbalance. All those facts are true without needing to go into the 'Jewish' stuff.

People who focus on that controversy are helping these scum-of-the-earth industries survive for longer than they should. Artists should own their output. They need managers and agents, but those should be employees and contractors, not "owners".

I personally don't care to psychoanalyze Kanye, it's none of my business and none of yours. He has objectively been victimized, and became successful in spite of it. I empathize with him and hope what he points out will be resolved.

Sugars are quite useful, to aid in recovery after strenuous activity.

Really quick summary:

A hardware bug causes the NES to misread inputs sometimes (losing 1bit), if music is playing.

To work around the bug, the game only accepts inputs if the same key is pressed for two consecutive input cycles (an input cycle is much shorter than one frame)

If the inputs don't match, the game loops and tries again.

This loop has no hard coded limit, so if you spam changing inputs fast enough for long enough (using a computer; your fingers aren't fast enough), the game keeps trying to read inputs until it's time for next frame to be drawn to screen.

The NES clock sends an interrupt to prompt the drawing code to run.

The input code and the drawing code use overlapping areas of memory, and the game didn't do what it needs to do (at a low level in memory) to be ready draw the frame properly, and ends up reading drawing instructions from input bytes instead of what the game was designed to put into that area of memory.

(This part is where the real dirty magic is; it requires understanding of assembler and interrupts to properly explain how it works. Basically one function interrupts another and starts running before the first one finished, and the functions use different invocation logic, so the second function ends up exiting "the wrong way" and the program jumps to a wrong return location when it's done.)

Thus the attacker can write run semi-arbitrary code that makes the game jump to the instruction that starts playing the ending/credits scenes.
This is why people don't like "security people".

Apparently developer machines not being able to access the internet somehow makes users interacting with a website over the public internet insecure?

Security is important, but not the only concern.
there is no far left in the US. The 'left' here would be center/right in most other countries. The right/conservatives are the true evil who are responsible for basically every bad thing here and the real problem is that most of this country is conservative, and thinks this country is 'special'.
