> impotent seething

Interesting word choice from a man who idealizes people like Trump and Musk, can't stop posting about how oppressed and marginalized men is, and calls transgender women men.
> Merge requests review UI is nowhere as good as github. I wish some time was spent on polishing and ironing out these details.

Other than the partially dynamic updates, what do you dislike about merge requests compared to GitHub pull requests? Is it a general layout/UI thing or is there some other functional difference?
Nice article, but pointless until they're cheaply and widely available again.
It's an ongoing project (but aimed mostly at making driving easier for humans).
I personally cannot tell, if I was mixing vinyl I honestly would never have known about this. But using a digital vinyl system like Serato which displayed the bpm as 100.0, it's very apparent the tracks will fluctuate. The other issue is since your turntable is keeping time, two of them playing the same BPM, say 100BPM can drift 1BPM in theory. That's a large number when playing slower songs like hip-hop, and easily cause drift within 15~30 seconds. It's not a big deal, most dj's ride the pitch fader but it's worthy of a mention that the Technics 1200's are just over engineered.
This can only be good than bad. Twitter had let it loose for too long.
is anyone able to comment on the experience of PyTorch's M1 support?
"That didn’t stop multiple outlets, including CNBC and Bloomberg, from running headlines Friday saying that laid-off Twitter employees were leaving the building carrying boxes."

This is the part that scares me. It feels like a lot of news media outlets will publish just about anything. It feels like they have no interest at all in whether or not what they're saying is true, or even likely to be true. That's the part that worries me.
> You clearly don't know what an A player is.

If you work harder than the B players and don't get paid more than them, then you are not an A player, you are just a gullible rube who lets other people exploit them. A players may or may not work harder than the B players, but they definitely command more money than them.

> And no, when you make hundreds of thousands of $ per year, you're not "exploited".

Yes you are, if other equally qualified people can make more money working less.

> And yes, quite a few people would love to work for Musk just because he's Musk.

Musk has a cult of personality and there are some people out there with no self-respect who will let themselves be exploited by him. Those people are not A players, though.
Does nobody remember akismet?
You should be careful with phrases like "never works" because it makes it trivial to refute your argument.

For example, the only way I've ever lost weight was to simply eat less with no set diet at all. I lost 30lbs this way.
>I bet he wasn’t feeling too great about that bit of litigation the deal closing helped him escape.

>Maybe one of the cronies who were cozying up to him

There are a few nasties in the article. This nerd writer got so angry his writing even got pretty sloppy in his section (3).

Seething is in fashion!
> Elon will probably run Twitter the way a "reasonable executive" would. Not just release the hounds.

Isn't this his duty to shareholders as long as Twitter is (still) a publicly traded company?
Clearly, I don't. Ever.
It shows as $279 for me with a $60 coupon.. Just being pedantic though, that's still a great price.
I read that more than once before.

And while I agree(even though a lot of the people I've suffered with didn't stay my friends), it seems "slightly" unhealthy to look for a situation where I could suffer just to form a bond through shared trauma with people
The site's definition of "content-first suckless" is more or less synonymous with "created before 2005". Which is fine if you are into that aesthetic, but it is a terrible way to judge the value of the content itself. A few lines of CSS to set sensible margins, spacing and text contrast isn't the end of the world. Heck even Wikipedia is not "content-first" enough to be included in the results. And it doubly sucks for those who are expecting the tiniest bit of accessibility on the internet.
That sounds enlightening to me.

Code is interpreted by the computer,
Data is interpreted by Code !!!

But when we say "code is interpreted by computer"
we are really saying "Code is interpreted by Code"
right? Meaning the interpreter or compiler.

So how come this snake doesn't eat its own tail?

The answer, the MAGIC of computers, is that
at the lowest level somehow Hardware is
able to interpret Code .

There’s a key difference: Darrell Brooks didn’t launch his attack for Democratic goals and no Democrat supports his actions. The protesters in Portland did not have the support of Democratic leaders and tended to criticize them almost as heavily they do Republicans. James Hodgkinson was definitely a leftist but his actions got immediate and complete rejection from Democratic leaders, including Bernie Sanders unequivocal condemnation.

Contrast this with the way Republican politicians and media are hesitant to condemn the January 6th attack or cross Trump on almost any topic, and calls for political violence have been the subject of jokes and outright support from leaders & candidates for years. Those topics poll favorably with far too many Republicans to consider them fringe issues.

That’s scary for anyone who believes in fair elections or the rule of law because, as we’ve seen, those people feel emboldened and are expanding. There are a large number of election deniers running for office this year and they’re all members of one party, with almost no internal pushback.
Ordinarily, ProPublica has a sterling record [1], but something about the way that story was unfolding forced me to read the whole thing, and do some research of my own. There is the 2022 Senate Minority Oversite Staff interim report [2] which was preceded by a House Minority Staff report [3] and another paper on Wuhan products is [4]. For me, I choose to remain skeptical; given the politics behind the ProPublica piece, while I have faith the authors did their best, I'm not yet ready to light any cigars.

Twitter is no longer a publicly traded company. Elon Musk owns it now.
In Specht v. Netscape, the court declined to hold Netscape’s browsewrap (i.e. "putting a link to the ToS somewhere in the web page") enforceable because the hyperlink’s placement at the bottom of the screen failed to put users on notice of Netscape’s terms.

In Hines v. Overstock.com, the court found Overstock.com’s browsewrap unenforceable because the website failed to prominently display the link to the online agreement in a way that would put users on notice of the website’s terms and conditions.

And if you think it's all because "you have to scroll to see the hyperlink" and that Twitter's one is valid because there's always a "Terms and Services" hyperlink in small text on the screen at all times, I can tell you of Nguyen v. Barnes & Noble, in which the court held that Barnes & Noble’s browsewrap was unenforceable despite the fact that the hyperlink was prominently placed next to the buttons users must click in order to complete online purchases.

Van Tassell v. United Marketing Group also states:

> Because no affirmative action is required by the website user to agree to the terms of a contract other than his or her use of the website, the determination of the validity of a browsewrap contract depends on whether the user has actual or constructive knowledge of a website's terms and conditions.

In other words, w.r.t. the enforceability of Twitter's ToS on users that have never agreed to it explicitly, they have the burden of proof and have to give the court convincing proof that you knew about their ToS when you broke it.

This is all based on a rather obvious common law standard:

> An offeree, regardless of apparent manifestation of his consent, is not bound by inconspicuous contractual provisions of which he is unaware, contained in a document whose contractual nature is not obvious.
- Specht v. Netscape

So yes, I have seen cases not enforcing this paradigm.

The trans debate is extremely polarizing and aggressive on both sides. I'll leave it at that.

I think the real litmus test is a possible Trump unban. That's would be earth shattering.
The fact that he was essentially "cancelled" by the mainstream for doing it suggests it was not in fact normal at the time.

In case anyone gets confused, his first marriage was not to a 13 year old. His "marriage" to his 13 year old cousin happened when he was 22.
I think you missed the point I’m trying to make, so I’ll rephrase:

Wiby is a great example of how welll a curated index cam perform.

The article ends with this memorable quote:

> “I was raised a good Christian,” he told Rolling Stone in 1979. “But I couldn’t make it. … Too weak, I guess. I can’t picture Jesus Christ doin’ a whole lotta shakin’.”

;-)))
I wonder how this jives with his stated plan to lay off a lot of people? If he wants to implement that he'll need a lot more engineers and related support staff.
I wonder if he’ll really get the dev teams to defuse flame wars.

The TL algorithm will push any account that trends and those strongly networked, it will also promote and make you curate your own strong network.

Whenever these two adversarial groups collide is bloody warfare, yet it’s so obvious to detect such incidents: likely confrontational accounts collide, strongly connected accounts start to systematically love and retweet friendlies, text sentiment turns to aggressive and taunting.

It’s probably a take-at-home assignment for a data science position to detect these dynamics. Yet Twitter introduced precious little to suppress this rage machine, just “block” to further entrench bubbles and long, lawyerly drawn out questionnaires for manual report. I’d say the most half-hearted attempt since Facebook’s.

So if he’s really serious about driving away the trolling flame throwing, I guess it’ll be that.
This is vague, but you're hoping to end the political oppression of trans people?

Sounds like you think he will move in exactly the same direction as all the other social media platforms. He has to make the platform unique in a way that will be difficult for competitors to simply imitate. Or preferably in a direction where there are no competitors at all.
Or have global pointers be in a specific range, then replace pointer dereference with a check if the pointer is in that range and if yes, read the real pointer value from a table. Keeping the fake pointer values consistent would be tricky, but not impossible given that you have a full view of the program.

Edit: Or just live with the fact that certain kinds of changes require a program restart.
LOL. Incitement of "to have a discussion we need concrete opinions".
Very cool project, I misread that as "megalopolis" but I take it that a megapolis is a city with thousands of residents - 50K in the case of Calakmul[1], which is large for a premodern city, but only 1/4 the size of Tenochtitlan[2].

This list of news makes it abundantly clear that the US is little more than a playground for the rich. That's true of most countries nowadays, but the US' overwhelming influence on the rest of the world makes this one sting even more.
Right, except what got me thinking is that "programs" can be conceptually seen as a sequence of "instructions" to the computer. Whereas it is more difficult to think of data as "instructions". Data is more like a model of the world, than a set of "instructions".
That was probably an amazing time.

So you went from saying that those who have experienced adversity can naturally empathize with the adversity others have faced, to now saying you do not accept that systemic racism exists?

Do you see how those two statements strongly contradict one another?

Anyway, if your position is genuinely that systemic racism doesn't exist, given all the information you have access to in this day, then I don't think there's any evidence I could show you that would ever sway you. That said, it's worth a shot, here's a tiny grain of sand on the nearly infinite beach of facts supporting the continued existence of racism - people with white sounding names are 50% more likely to receive a callback for a job interview.[1]

I am a big user of Invidious as well. The biggest issue is the lack of subtitling, especially foreign language subtitles. Also, the lack of playlist support.

I wonder, how does "acquiring" a open source project work? Does it mean the company acquires assets like Name, Trademark, Domain and such? Since the code itself is open source. (Sure you might be able to get rights to the owner's code)

And even after that won't the company itself have to start putting telemetry and stuff themselves since prexisting maintainers definately won't do that. It feels pretty much like a Hostile takeover than acquiring. How do they even benefit from it
I don't idealize Trump. I said he was objectively right about Russia in one conversation where he got laughed at for saying they're a threat and that Germany is too dependent upon them for energy [1]. Nothing about that involves seething. I agree he was a terrible president overall, and I've said as much.

I don't misgender people, either. Never have. I just don't demand everybody else should have the same view. Again, no seething.

And why would I stop posting about male sexual assault victims? I am one, I am mad about it, and you bringing it up shows what kind of "person" [2] wants to control the conversation :)

About a decade ago I did set up an entity in India which employed people. However I did it as a JV with a subgroup of one of the big dynastic families. They had to own 50%+1 share, I am a PIO so owned the rest.

They had all the connections so setting things up was quick. Then we needed a factory so I visited a bunch of factories owned by the conglomerate. We picked one and they set aside some space to build our stuff. We didn't get soaked in that deal; I think that was because the factory wasn't really making much money and they figured the JV would throw off more cash.

We also worked with some other suppliers; I visited them directly, negotiated terms, and only then brought in the big guns from our partner. I figured that would mean we'd get the best deal: either the special deal for a new customer or the special deal for one of the big guys, whichever was cheaper. The latter was always cheaper, but I always wondered: would that have been true had we not already negotiated a ceiling on the price?

And in the end...the person assigned to be the CEO of the JV by the partner, a nice guy who seemed to work hard...embezzled most of the capital!

But my big lessons were: 1 - work with a partner who already knows whose hand to shake and 2 - don't try to do anything new; modify an existing structure. In that, the latter case is similar to what apparently is the standard way to open a restaurant in America: don't rent an empty space and fit it out as a restaurant; instead take over the lease and permits from someone who went bankrupt doing that, and run your restaurant on their kitchen setup and permits.
You can't just start a shitcoin and print it, you need to back it up with real assets. See SEC and what happened to Facebook's libre.

Getting rid of bots has to be stupidly easy. They start posting the second he tweets. Hundreds of them with the same avatar and slightly misspelled name.
I was there at Calakmul in 2015. It was awe inspiring to see an ancient settlement in the middle of what is a remote site of today. We drove through several hours of dirt roads to get to the site, and the place was magnificent. Walking in the ruins felt like time travel because we could climb in the pyramids, imagine what their houses looked like from what remained, was told by the archeological info boards about what used to be a merchants gallery vs residential area etc. To imagine the life of the mayans was fascinating.
Maybe it's about equal!

Lol. Yes that's a mandatory part of being a politician. I hardly think that when most people think of the problems of twitter/social media they are thinking of Trudeau tweeting "congrats Mattea Roach on winning 23 consecutive games of Jeopardy" or whatever. Btw, actually I just scrolled through his twitter and his tweets are almost entirely practical https://nitter.it/justintrudeau.

Anyway, the problem here is bot farms creating tens of thousands of sockpuppets posing as "average citizens" to push some sort of narrative and try to manufacture consent, which is qualitatively different from what you are describing.
Well most results are desktop sites. Mobile users probably aren't the intended audience.
>One of the key questions for the CJEU is whether online streaming services are liable for copyright infringement if their subscribers use VPN services to bypass geo-blocking efforts. EU Advocate General Maciej Szpunar shared his advice on the matter this week... The opinion of AG Szpunar compares the current case to existing EU jurisprudence on hyperlinks, concluding that a streaming service doesn’t violate the law when subscribers bypass its geo-blocking efforts.

Why do EU folks use malware laden streaming services that harm the earth (wastes electricity) rather than torrent stuff as needed then hold onto it in the medium term?

Aside from being worried about leaving... extreme content... behind on the hard drive... it doesn't make sense to stream over and over, especially if it's an unreliable source like some shady streaming service that's probably got all sorts of weird javascript lurking alongside whatever is used to play the video.

(With "the video" probably just being something on Youtube hoping no one copyright flags it)

I never kept a formal library, just would fill the empty space on my hard drive with axxo rips, stuff rotten tomatoes said was good, and whatever was well seeded that wasn't hardcore pornography.

(I always found the mix of "Welcome to the internet, here is a high(ish) resolution DVD rip of your favorite Sofia Coppola film. Would you also like some incredibly degrading pornography?" you get when you sort by what's well seeded incredibly dark in a bad way, and that's speaking as someone who may have briefly ended up on a department of homeland security watchlist because I researched United States v. Valle too much back when I was attempting OSCP.)

Anyways, good decision IMHO but I'm not European right now, so I guess my opinion doesn't matter :-)
You're entirely right, but it's not a popular thing to say in this forum.
