> I think there could be a balance here, allow that which is legal but distasteful but don't promote it or advertise beside it

OK, but then it's more like blacklisting rather than banning. You're still free to show up and participate, you just can't get access to the biggest audiences.

So then the conversation turns from "why is Twitter blocking my free speech?" to "why is Twitter penalizing my free speech?".

Plus, what's legal speech is a real grey area. Free speech cases constantly go to the Supreme Court because we're talking about a near infinite number of ideas that can be expressed. And intent usually matters. So when Kanye writes his "death con 3" tweet, is it a direct threat to incite violence (not protected), an ambiguous threat that's not actionable (possibly protected), a joke (very likely protected), or as a brand new idea that hasn't been expressed yet (possibly protected)?

At the end of the day, a human has to make a decision. So, we're just swapping Jack's and Parag's vision of content moderation for Elon's, but it'll still be content moderation - perhaps better, perhaps not.
"We also have a team of highly specialized and trained content reviewers and subject matter experts who help ensure that our technology delivers accurate results"

Wondering what does the training look like.
The DSLR represents the end-point of an unbelievable period of hardware improvements in cameras, they contain a ton of amazing mechanisms some of which just exist to make the "SLR" feature possible. The big camera manufacturers learneed a lot over the past few decades and the hardware is all there because customers demanded it.

However, once LCD screens got good enough, the SLR aspect became a burden and if you look, most mirrorless pro cameras look very similar to their SLR counterparts.
"Rules for thee but not for me"

I mean, that's no different from Twitter and other platforms currently operate in terms of how they define hate speech or who they cancel.
I use a rx6400 to drive 2 4k displays, and it works great. Out of the box Linux support, too.
We can argue about free speech & all that jazz to no end. But at the end of the day it's as simple as not banning elected officials. I don't care how divisive they are, we need to know what they say and do. These are people chosen by the people whether you love or hate them.

Secondly, I just visited Twitter today and at the top it has statements about false accusations and fact checking prominently displayed. I follow a bunch of stats and machine learning people on Twitter, very little to no politics. Why are you forcing your political agenda on me?
LLVM ORC / JITLink is another similar project: JITLink handles single-file linking of MachO, ELF or COFF objects into a target process. ORC coordinates JITLink instances -- running compiles / links on demand and tracking dependencies between objects being linked on different threads.

See e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-inxFudrgI and earlier talks.

ORC is used by CERN's Cling c++ interpreter, Julia, PostgreSQL (for JIT database queries), the Clasp LISP VM, the LLDB debugger (for expression evaluation), and many other projects.
Design principles are all the same, no matter what product you are building. Besides that you just bought a "cat in a bag" with very ambitious goals of redesigning it, don't you want your smartest engineers to look at it first? Or what would be your plan if you were in the Musk's shoes right now?

It may or may not be suspended from tweeting. There are still no tweets since March.

Certainly worth a try, thank you!

Seeing they have a kernel PPA makes me suspect too that there's some patchwork going on, where I'm using vanilla Fedora kernels
Paying it forward:

An article by David Graeber I first saw here, where he argues the utilitarian evolutionary view (every action witnessed in animals is there to somehow increase changes of survival) is a relic of the industrial revolution. Instead, he says, playing is a key feature of life.

I wasn't talking about Twitter specifically. Ads are a dominating revenue model: Youtube, Instagram, Facebook etc. I had an idea of people using crypto payments instead of likes. A platform would take a cut.
For your own sake, don't try to find out.
Amazing article. I'm deep in the crypto space and agree with everything in it. Does a good job explaining the good, bad, and ugly parts of the industry.
"Consequences" are enacted by an authority. The thing that happens on Twitter is "mob justice". EDIT: I did not read carefully before commenting, this comment is irrelevant.
It will take a miracle for Elon to not lose at least $15Bn on this.

I'd look at it more that he's trying to limit losses than make a profit.
HolyC from TempleOS also has some similar facilities, I believe. I just know it from Terry's videos, but for example the TempleOS shell is just a HolyC REPL.

Musk after banning @elonjet in 3 minutes
Multiple independent organizations inside a company each with their own rigid and inflexible operating procedures. The user to moderator ratio in the tens of thousands to 1. How is this hard to see?
Vine was just early right? I would assume hosting and delivering video was just too expensive at the time.
Due to the loans Elon had to take out, Twitter now has to make interest payments of over one billion dollars a year. Expect more features that try to wring every cent out of the userbase.
Do you have a few pointers to the solutions regarding out of order IDs? I'm thinking of keeping track of gaps (yet unseen IDs) in another column and retrieving them in the next poll.
I think it's highly unlikely Blockbuster was ever going to build and maintain a streaming service if they had purchased Netflix.
Maybe he'll double the character limit.
That's probably about right. But it's not isolated to developers. Most people skim or skip most instructions, documentation, warnings, etc.

When I write documentation I hope that people will never talk to me because the information they need is already written down. But more often it's so I can redirect them to the documentation and implicitly require that they read it before they continue to talk to me. In other words, documentation doesn't usually prevent an interruption as much as it minimizes the interruption.
On the contrary - not telling other people to do things doesn't take that much time. Especially with SpaceX, if you have a team in place you trust, you don't have to even think about telling them what to do. They present a plan you can accept or push back on.

It doesn't take much time to be the front-man to several organizations. And Musk excels at it. Being the public face of an excelling team that you assembled is a rare skillset (at the level Musk operates).
Musk has majority ownership of Twitter.
Maybe - they better make sure to negotiate a killer employee contract given they won't be getting stock which is fungible. BTW - all software developers have certain personality quirks:)
("punished", not "published"). My bad.

Sounds pretty thorough and covers all the bases that I'd expect for this sort of thing.
Sure I can.

All the right-wing sources I followed on twitter were banned. Therefore I didn't get ANY content sent to me.

How is that a bias FOR right-wing sources?
They also have the ability to manipulate public sentiment. It's not a limitless ability, but that faculty alone is probably worth a decent amount to the right buyers.
I initially parsed this headline as:

For some reason, people seem to assume that people will like virtual reality. It all seems very forced to me, much like 3D TVs, and won't live up to the hype.
You can still do it in YouTube Android app as far as I know. Open video, tap that little empty square in the bottom right corner and your video will be rotated to the horizontal position(view) and then tap that little comments box[0] in the bottom left corner(third icon).

The Odroid H3 / H3+ is a x86 SBC that has a 24-pin GPIO header and is only moderately more expensive.
I deleted my youtube account last month and started new one because it stuck in a loop of feeding me bs I don’t like. I don’t know where do you find good recommendations there, for me it’s still the same bs. Maybe I am too picky, maybe you just like what it recommends, but I don’t. I guess if an engine makes enough users happy, it may be called good, but not for the other 5%.

For example I watched and subscribed to PBS ST to kick start. It instantly flooded my feed with low-quality sci-pop with “pro voice actors” voices and stupid sensational topics like “shocking alien planet” or “will our sun explode tomorrow? Emoji emoji emoji”. No astrophysics was recommended yet. Yesterday I searched for and binge-watched about hyena clan relationships, today it recommended me two quran surahs for good sleep, few colorful open-mouth-sensation morons (not sure which topic they were trying to “wow”) and a very badly compiled drama about different snow leopards chasing goats. And that’s while I’m holding my finger on “not interested” trigger for weeks.

What am I doing wrong?
They haven't really given Brexit a chance yet. Sure, they've discovered that the party that led them out of the EU is dysfunctional, incompetent, and deceitful. And sure, they've weathered the recent crises worse than the EU has.

But they've only been out of the EU for a few years. Whatever benefits they imagined they would get could not possibly show themselves on a time scale that short.

I think the EU would have the UK back, but I suspect one of their biggest worries is that public opinion would shift back yet again. Voters are unhappy and want things to go back, but they haven't necessarily learned anything about why they made the wrong choice -- if they did.

I can't see them seriously considering the question for another five years, minimum. And when they do, it's going to come with assurances that it won't be fighting that fight again.
The easiest dumb answer is that Rockstar has never licensed RAGE to an external developer and presumably doesn't develop the engine with that in mind at all so it is probably under-documented and hard to work with for any team that isn't Rockstar.

Also, I think there are other engines that do as well as RAGE, but none of them are licensed for external use either and are secret sauce to their various developers.
Counterpoint: cars don't get their cables moved about so often, or bent at sharp angles for aesthetic reasons. Soldering without additional strain relief is a terrible idea - even for low currents.
Honestly: snarkiness. Not a particularly high quality post, I admit, but it is a bit grating to see people being very reactionary in all the Twitter-related threads.
It's amazing how a banal headline like this, which really does not say much, can trigger correlation vs causation debates. It causes the reader to project his/her beliefs into it -- if you're pro-ev: "great! More works needs to be done!" If you're pro-gas: "You see, it's coastal elites buying EVs." From my perspective it's a neutral headline that creates debate due to the superimposition of beliefs from different parties. The questions I get from reading this headline include:

- Why is there a such a large disparity between California vs "rest of US"?

- What makes people think that it's obvious for California to have more EVs than other states?

- what are the contributing factors to people buying more new cars in California?

- what's the ratio of new evs bought vs used evs? How does that compare to the number of used cars sold?

- how has this proportion changed over time?

- what is the rate of growth of sales in new evs in California vs rest of US? Are there states with higher growth of sales vs previous (ratio vs total)?
Hasn’t ISIS been allowed to be on Twitter? Who could possibly be worse than ISIS?

My neighbor Sam down the street likes to say the n-word sometimes and thinks offering hormones to kids is grooming. Still, I don’t think all the Sams in the US would ever be able to do as much material harm by having access to Twitter as ISIS does in one afternoon. Could be wrong.

Who cares just about plain HW specs? Nowadays I also expect the info on whether it supports UEFI booting, whether the firmware gets updates (and if fwupd or not), and if mainline Linux can boot and from what version.

Too often these products have a limited lifetime (and are too hard to use) due to lack of the above.
Why dont you try building a residential property or factory on a land zoned for public parks and tell me how that goes in your country?
> And of course, 36x the drives means 36x the drive failures

I think you must mean 36x the chance of drive failure. Drive failure probability per year is published at around 1% though practically as high as 10%. 36 drives means there's somewhere between a 30.35% (1 - 0.99^36) and 97.7% (1 - 0.9^36) chance per year of a single drive failing.
If they are manually verifying all of the hashes, and training ML to detect previously unreported images, that means they must be retaining a vast collection of material that they know is illegal. Not just passing it on with reports, but intentionally collecting it, retaining it for the long term, and processing it.

Anybody have any idea why they're allowed to do that?
You may not have intended to talk down. But it came across that way...
It sure was. I’ve been on HN for more than 10 years with my real name.

I know it sounds silly that I’d use a throwaway to say I want to work for Twitter now.

But if I do end up working there I have a feeling some in my network may not be so happy about this. I’d have to come to terms with that and plan some things out.

Maybe I’m overreacting, maybe not. But it’s on my mind these days when I say I support free speech within the confines of existing US law.
The 'authority' mentioned was an employer, who is free to hire and fire people at will in he US, in many cases. Turns out that employing, say, a nazi, is not popular at many companies.

This can certainly go to far, but it's kind of up to the employer, isn't it.
In that case, the spoilers would still deploy when large control inputs were given, so roll control would still be present albeit with a very wide "dead zone".
> That's market realism in action. Who are we to say what's good or bad of it.

Narrator: We actually have a lot authority in saying what's good or bad via laws we've codified concerning this exact thing.
Tesla Autopilot discussions still have good content, but the Musk-Twitter deal is far more political than technological, and, when you combine that with the (small minority) of rabid anti-Musk sentiment, I don't doubt HN is capable of discussing the topic properly. Besides, it's hard to go beyond "free speech!" vs "worse harassment!", there isn't much more to say.
I'm very skeptical of the idea that Twitter can become a place where people discuss things with civility. It seems like the mechanics of the conversation encourage outrage.
It's important to remember we're discussing the margins. The XX, XY definition is functionally good enough for nearly all cases.

But there exist people whose sex doesn't work into that model.

Consider some 46 XX intersex people. In these cases, outside conditions (typically an endocrine imbalance in the mother) leads to the development of a penis, and the loss of a vagina. These children may be raised as boys. Similarly, some XY people are born with autosomal defects that prevent them from effectively processing testosterone into dihydrotestosterone. As a result, their bodies develop into what we would consider typically female. They are often raised as girls.

There are dozens of conditions similar to these.

"XX male syndrome" might be one example of specifically what you are looking for - people who are scientifically discussed as male despite having XX chromosomes, a typically female karotype. It can be caused by autosomal origins

Ultimately, we cannot remove the discussion of sociological science from biology, because we make choices for kids in these cases. And those choices differ depending on culture. The US preferentially gives intersex people male gender, while Saudi Arabia does the opposite, even for the same conditions. In this way, even biological sex has some social component.
I hope some from YouTube sees this feedback
In this age of remote work if they open positions remotely to anyone in the world on SF salaries they will have access to an infinite pool of competent engineers, taking into account that Twitter isn't rocket science, and also that Elon has his fans. Brain drain is not a risk.
Usually when my computers are “haunted”, it’s caused by corporate mandated malware.
What is your point? I am not sure why I even have to mention this, because to me it is apparent, but statements and opinions that are already a part of the currently shared belief system do not need protections at all. It is the all the other stuff that is often ugly, which is why it DOES require protection ( precisely because people are scared of things that make them uncomfortable and will seek to restrict them as much as possible ).

<<people who'd put me in a camp if they had their way

Eh. This train is never late. Just wait until you find out that eventually all the out groups are thinned out and you are identified as the next one in line. That is the normal course of things. People are assholes. Freedom of speech is a basic safety valve.

I dislike that I even have to explain those. All this stuff should be covered in basic social studies.
> there are certain minimum standards

The American constitution has done a uniquely good job of enumerating those limits. It seems like a stretch to paint a de facto adherence to free speech (as outlined by the law of the land in a given jurisdiction) as oppressive, when the status quo has been unilateral normative judgements of relevant political speech by an unrepresentative cabal of employee-activists.
Funny, I was expecting you to come up with some contrived justification as to why racism is totally different depending on what race it's against, like all leftists do, and you did exactly that.
I have to admit that a few months ago I wrote on HN that Elon could do anything he wanted in order to let the price go down. And for a while I really believed that he would make it.

Apparently there is still some justice in the world, and he paid the initial sum that he proposed, if I understand right.

100% this. Big advertisers don't stop spending because they have a moral objection to the content, they stop spending when the customers who disagree with the content boycott and make a lot of noise.
In short, part of your job is spending 3-4x more time thinking about how to write for the human psychology computer.
I don't think it's terribly controversial. Consider two Twitters: the present one, and another devoid of all users and their content. Does one have less value than the other?

We're already engaged in dialog which respects content as capital. Consider Ben Lee (legal counsel to Twitter) who said, "Twitter users own their Tweets." How is it that a tweet is ontologically capable of being owned? Well, it's intellectual property and as such an object capable being owned. Moreoever, it's owned by author, not Twitter. If you answered in the affirmative above, then it's even participating in the circuit of value creation. Yet, the production of tweets contributing to Twitter's value happens largely for free. It's quite simply benefiting on the backs of free labor.

Anticipating your next point, yes, Twitter users willfully choose to participate, but this doesn't negate the process that's taking place. Free labor creates capital.

This process is markedly different from your McDonald's example. It would be akin to people voluntarily supplying McD with beef patties for free. Happy to discuss that though. I'm fairly certain it would be a fruitful discussion.
It's a great game that definitely needs more work, but is completely undeserving of all the hate it's getting. There's pretty much nothing else out there like it, that even tries to do what it's trying to do. I'm also extremely glad that the franchise has moved away from the 4x style of micromanaging armies. The new system isn't perfect, but I think it's a stepping stone towards something that fits the Victoria ethos far better.
It's a cluster, made out of commodity computers and network equipment, that wasn't designed specifically to be part of a cluster.

"Beowulf" was just the name of an early machine built that way at NASA in the 90s. The approach is not unusual now; many "low-end" supercomputers are just a few racks of commodity servers. But it was very unconventional in the early 90s, which is why the Beowulf term existed, to distinguish it from "real" clusters.

Hardware Ethernet switches -- able to stream from port to port at full speed -- were the revolutionary component. Before Ethernet, clusters required specialized hardware implementing a crossbar-like switched fabric, so that all the nodes could communicate at high speed with each other, with a minimum of hops. These were solutions for clustering mainframes and minicomputers, horribly expensive and proprietary.

I had already made up my mind to leave ProtonMail, but this change makes me even more confident in that decision, unfortunately. It's the last of a series of bad decisions and deficiencies:

- No actual threading available, even though the Message ID and In-Reply-To headers are not encrypted!

- Visual overhaul in the last 1-2 years that changed label colors significantly

- proton.me domain migration email sent out encouraging you to click it to log in at the new domain. (Now an attacker just has to do this from a similar domain a year or so from now.)

The problem with Musk's solar panel business is that it is more expensive and less effective than normal solar panels. They look nicer than normal panels, but to thrive off of solar you need as much efficiency as possible. Tesla panels don't provide that especially for the cost.
