Having more competition for YouTube and WhatsApp doesn't seem so dystopian to me?
I remember this too, during the SXSW some/many years ago (2006-2007?), all of the people was saying on Twitter "Ehy, is there anybody here?" or "I'm eating/pooping/whatever, and you?" =) yes, it was a better Twitter. But like every other social media, if it's too small, or you pay or it will fail (ehm, also if you pay it can fails, I remember another twitter like app with payments (I even don't remember the name, that is totally abandoned, it had only one letter in the name, or something similar, a very short name).

The goal of all social media is to grow but to keep the user base, the old feeling, all the social until now have failed in this, but mainly because every X years a new social grows up with cool features/no ads/etc... (and no revenues), all the people go there, then it adds ads to be profitable or it becomes a mess with too much features, and all the people switch to the new one again.

Twitter now is still quite like the beginning, but it's also failing to have consistent revenues, probably for this. I don't know how much Musk can do, but I'm curious too see the evolution!

Propaganda and lies?

The mass-graves with civilians, hands tied behind their back, gunshot to the back of the head, clear signs of torture, thousands of witness-testimonies. Bucha, Irpin, Izium etc.

And all of it will look like tiddlywinks compared to when we get the full picture of what happened in Mariupol one day.

But if you want to believe it is all lies and evil nazi (or is it satanic these days?) NATO-propaganda, go ahead.
> However, democracies tend to only fuel popular wars, and wars of aggression lose popularity when information is freely available.

What's your basis for saying that so generally? It's probably true for a war of aggression that you're losing, but I'm not sure if it would hold for one you're winning.

Also, I suspect you're also probably making an assumption that a democracy will invariably settle on an ideological outlook similar to elites in present-day western democracies, but I don't think that's very solid.
> I guess my point is that you were able to understand the Schrödinger equation without covering a whole bunch of other stuff first

I did cover a bunch of other stuff though: 3 semesters of calc, linear algebra, diffeq, classical mechanics & electromagnetism, all before I even studied any of Rayleigh’s experiments. Granted my understanding of Schrödinger wasn’t prereq’d by my understanding of, say, 5/2R solution for the classics ball rolling down a plane and up through a loop no slipping (one of those things you never forget, unfortunately), but like the original derivation Schrödinger did for the wave equation in constant potential field (at least the ones from the textbook I read) goes straight back to Netwon’s F=ma & dp/dt = F for its basis. So you can absolutely bet that my understanding of Newton’s formulation of force was crucial to my understanding of Schrödinger. It was the interplay of linear algebra, complex mathematics, differential equations, and Newtonian intuitions. That is a huge foundation to be building on top of. Furthermore I have done exercises with bras & kets that let you treat the whole thing like a great big matrix, but my experience in building my education has been that if I try to skip a chapter it invariably is a building block that I need to go back and reread. It’s like executing code: eventually, you have to step down inside the function call and execute all its lines before proceeding.

And to tie things back around this is precisely why the guy with the website is saying “look, if you want to talk directly to Nobel prize winning physicists, pay your dues, there are no shortcuts.”

We’re in a world of climate disaster because we’ve allowed too many shortcutters to drive the boat for too long.
You can grade the junk by halflife.
It helps to weed out total slackers, of which there could be non-negligible percent. If you have any shred of decent code - you are ok. If you can't produce a page of decent code after working a year - why would anyone keep such programmer.

I mostly agree, until I try to politely share any opinion about socialism, anarchism, gender, or speech when it comes to how those things intersect tech. Whew, do I get a lot of hateful comments here.
No system. "Productivity" doesn't describe something I optimize for. We use "productivity" as a shorthand for a metric when we don't quite know what we want or need to measure.

I focus on getting things done, correctly and on time. A lot of the time that means clearly defining what I or someone else (a boss, a customer, my wife) says I need to do, so I know what "done" means and can measure my progress. And it means deciding what not to do. After experimenting with various so-called productivity systems and techniques I decided those too easily become distractions, an example of Goodhart's Law, a neatly organized task list or project plan standing as the only output. I have worked with quite a few people who talked about their productivity systems, but mostly I saw them endlessly refining those systems, not producing anything other than obsessive-compulsive examples of bullet journals or kanban boards.

I rely mainly on memory, along with a (nearly empty) calendar and some small lists and notes I keep on Post-Its.

> if you should have a high focus on data protection and privacy, it would fit greatly into your story if you had only local investors since some customers in Europe immediately see a red flag if US or Chinese people are involved.

Yeah no. If you're going for a fundraise, you would be extremely foolish to rely on relatively inexperienced EU and local investors over investors from the US and elsewhere. It's an open truth that EU VCs are rather stingy with their pursestrings, and would rather undercut your valuation by a ton.

There are risks around geopolitical issues though, so eg: having a bunch of Chinese/Russian investors may not be the best route for you. The optics can turn sour, and the value they can add is definitely questionable in the current hostile climate.

You can guarantee compliance with EU rules as long as you provide an EU-based option. If some customers don't like that, trust me, you don't want such inflexible customers either. Eg.: PostHog recently launched EU based cloud hosting for GDPR compliance, and they are a successful privacy-centric product even though they're backed by largely American investors (and the founders are European).
Very nice, I like it lot! Great job.

> Not all programmers have the same goals and problems.

That's why we have different programming languages. The danger of making a language a jack-of-all-trades is that it will be master of none. Restrictions are more often than not a good thing, they give the power to reason, for both humans and machines (giving, for example, memory safety).
You are spot on. That style of working or perspective towards policy is exactly what Musk wants to remove at the grassroots level.

Agreed that this wisdom and experience is not replaceable. But Musk intends to replace it with something else. If you think about it, Vijaya's perspectives and intuition is only going to pull back Musk's vision however vague that might be. Musk doesn't want to sit around and convince Vijaya of his opinion towards content moderation. I think if Vijaya showed appreciation or interest towards Musk's policy on some level at least, she would have had a non-zero chance to be around. The difference of opinion is at a stark contrast in my opinion.

This is the fastest and brutal way of Musk moving forward with his plan.
>some dead folks from 100 years ago

and https://twitter.com/bg_5you/status/1578146498768175105 has "credit plz"

so as long as in 2120 the tech is trained on public domain artists and code, it will be ok.

But if it is trained copyrighted sources, AND requires its own attributions without actually requiring the copyrighted source attributions and/or its licenses, then you are right, we won't get it. The same way we have SSPL and other licenses in addition to public domain code.
I think, but I do not have the data, that there is plenty of left speech that is banned on Twitter.

I mean left as in, not Democrat (which Americans seem to think is a lefty party), but actual leftists discussing socialism and anarchism theory. And not even the autocratic leftist stuff (which sucks. Leftist dictators suck), just like every day "we should tax more and build social housing and stop evictions" leftists.

Interesting article but she continually cites one source about her hero - Paul volcker himself. I would believe her premise that he broke inflation more if she included other sources, especially other financial leaders from the time.
Yes, it is underappreciated in urban circles how much owning physical assets (land, reliable fuel-efficient vehicles, fruit trees, tools, wood for construction & heat) help weather rough times. They're very frequent in history, but a scant memory for many in the west. Digital IOU assets will not completely cut it.

Professionals in every domain like to maintain a certain level of difficulty to keep amateurs out. The tools of a trade can never be too easy, the tax code can never be simplified, legal writing and procedure has to be opaque etc. as professionals subconsciously reject job security threating ideas.

This sabotage is subtle: A wide variety of technical decisions can be made at any time, with complex trade-offs, bounded by what the majority of developers is willing and able to handle. As we move our servers to the cloud to make our lives easier and get admins fired, the exact right level of complexity shows up in AWS and Azure to enable stable and well-paid cloud expert jobs. For that difficulty-goldilocks-zone, Visual Basic was too easy, and things like functional programming are too hard.
I think listening a lot more than talking works. You need to get to know the people and the routines, the business domain, how things work and why.

You asked for an answer as if some "protocol" applies in every case. But every situation differs, you have to adapt and shape your behavior to fit the organization and the personalities. Listening, asking questions, paying attention will help with that.
It seems like capping prices would cap inflation, but I can’t think of any great mechanism to accomplish such a cap.
Central bank interest rates and taxes are controlled by relatively few people. Prices are controlled by hundreds of thousands of people.
We should be allowed to satirize almost everything that is part of our society, so to speak, satire that avoids the hot societal topics isn't really satire (see SNL). The trans discussion is really a hot topic inside the US, for better of for worse, so a satirical website talking about it is how things should be.
Companies are the new church, the place were collective intelligence can live.

So yes, any company leader is somewhat similar to a cult leader.

Cult were never about a vertical relationship between individuals and ethereal entities.

Cult are basically mechanisms to link and glue individuals and create cohesive and consistent group to allow emergence of collective intelligence.

Companies are not anymore worshipping God of bible to build group, but companies are just church of Mammon.

Compagnies management are just the clerical structure of Mammon cult.

Sure, but I don't recall many programs / games / thick clients that would reorganize the layout of the application (adding or removing elements, reorganizing rows as communs, etc...) At least not 90s era windows programs, and certainly not dos.

Résolution was taken into account in games, to compute a scaling factor, maybe add some screen bars, and that was nearly all - fundamentally, because hardly any program was going to be used in a small, top to bottom screen at all.

So html was just the first one to have to do it pervasively because of desktop + mobile web browsing of the same source - but it could have happened before.
I am not sure the last word on that
has been spoken. But you obviously are. You guys are alway so sure that you got the last and final truth, aren't you? How many last and final truths are we up to for COVID btw?

Misinformation is propaganda term that's employed to give the state the power to define what the truth is.
I don't seem to understand why you think the access to these tools is a bad thing.

Like, I can deduce that your argument comes from a place of "this work is mine and mine alone"... but is it? We don't have copyright on mathematics for example, if you come up with an equation or a solution to a tricky problem I can make use of it without the need of attribution. And in many ways, attribution can work similarly in AI generated art; it is common for people seeking a distinctive artists style to write prompts that include said artist and the AI, in turn, will willfully comply.

But what's the real core of your argument, why is it that you think information that is shared in this way is bad?

I can actually empathize with artists that think this technology might threaten their livelihood but this particular position I also view as overly-catastrophic. But you don't really seem to be concerned with that and instead you're making an argument that comes solely from individuality? But to me, these AI models are the maximum expression of something that as societies we have been doing for a very long time: to take the work that's available and use it to create something new.

Now, I completely agree with the licensing issue when it comes to github's copilot. It used public code to train, and therefor any work that is produced through it should be public as well. It's a different issue.

But your argument that "your work becomes my work" is bad is not something I fully understand. Why is it bad? Why is it poison? Shouldn't we maybe be questioning the system that envelops us if such a thing as sharing is considered poison?

Technical debt is debt in something non-fungible. You don't just need to pay it back, you need to pay it back with exactly the right thing. You can't just get a lump of commodity code and drop it in. That makes it much more expensive to pay back.
Just got one delivered.

I was planning to use Raspberry Pi (which is badly low on stock these days) as my home router with various docker images running but when I figured not all docker images support Arm architecture, I went to look for x86 equivalent and this looked just like what I wanted having dual ethernet not having have to have USB ethernet added which is quite rare.

I had to use DisplayPort instead of HDMI to get the display working and had to use a third party dkms module for officially sold USB Wifi dongle for Ubuntu 22.04 but otherwise it seems to be running good without a gotcha at about 50c or so without a fan.

It costed about $300 including shipping but considering I can get rid of a cloud server that keeps costing me, it'll even out soon enough.

Geekbench gave about 700 single core score which isn't bad for a device that can sit on a palm and having installed Nvme SSD, the disk speed can be quite fast.
Applying to accelerators is a good advice. Even if you don't get accepted, it will give you a clear idea on what they look for so you prepare for the next.

It will help you to clarify your vision and where you want to be.

It might not be relevant at this stage, but I recommend reading Value Proposition Design [0]. Since you're technical founders, you might fall into the trap of building without validation. This book will give you the framework to understand what are you building, for who, what pains are you solving, and what gains customers should expect.
Any investor will ask you these questions, so being prepared will increase your chances.

Good luck.

Was it? I'd put it at almost all negative reactions to copilot being about its tendency to reproduce chunks of code verbatim in a way that makes it look likely to be copyright infringement. In contrast, my impression is that the art folks are more upset at the being-automated-out-of-a-job angle. Not universally true, of course, but those really are different concerns.

What I personally think is that maybe these AI are being really inefficient with their training and still capable of producing all of this wealth.

As we discover newer and better architectures, which I believe we will, then the machines are going to become better and better at doing this what they are doing.

So in other words, I think we already have enough data for most things. Certainly for art and code, writing, etc.
Twitter is a very hard problem because it’s not a technological or engineering challenge.

It’s politics, politics, politics. From all angles and perspectives, in the possibly most annoying way. You have to make so many politics and policy decisions that all have many up- and downsides and that are just plain hard to make.

From a technology perspective Twitter is not at all interesting and the rest is just plain annoying. Plus, it’s a small social network, mostly relevant because important people (imagine myself rolling my eyes here) are on it. So doing other social media stuff that rely on network effects? (Messenger, payment, ...) Not really realistic. Not because the technology is infeasible. None of this is a technological challenge. It’s just politics and network effects.
