I agree the most likely reason is that voice calls have become much more rare. But, a novelty-wearing-off effect may also be in play. When multiple fonts first became available, lots of people used lots of fonts-- the ransom note effect. Today there are more fonts than ever, but the vast majority of text is in the default proportional and monospace fonts.
I’d definitely use blockchain. Basically every tweet would go on the blockchain and if a tweet reaches 100 likes you could sell it to someone as an NFT.
How is that different from a consultant who indiscriminately copies from Stack Overflow?

Tangent to that is the "who gets sued and needs to fix it when a code audit is done?"

Ultimately, the question is then "who is responsible for verifying that the code submitted to production isn't copying from sources that have incompatible licensing?"
Something very similar to what happened to working musicians when we developed the technology to record and replay their performances.

Now there are a lot less people playing live music.
Personally, I'd be more than willing to pay $8/mo for Twitter if it meant no more ads and helped the company become profitable from something besides ads. I have YouTube Premium for those exact reasons. I hate what the attention economy has done to user experience, and if paying for Twitter gave me a significantly better user experience, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

You make good points and it's true, thinking alone may not have the same effect, but problem solving I'm sure releases endorphins as well.

People do attempt to think themselves into happiness with therapy see some benefit.

Just thinking - yes, probably not going to make anyone extremely happy.

But I still believe it's a plausible argument that after any cycle or combination of sex, drugs, fame, family, friends there may be a point where, for some people, thinking/problem solving may have it's place as the most pleasurable option in that moment.

And the winning combination for some people may be family, friends and problem solving, rather than family, friends and drugs. So it's possible they are not lying to themselves. It may maximize pleasure over time.

I'm sure that's a reference to Tesla delays?

Fair enough. But my point is that Musk is the kind of person that can say "let's do video, you have 3 months".

It doesn't really matter that it takes 4 or 5 months instead. That's still rapid in comparison to Twitter's reputation where despite having thousands of engineers and more than a decade of time, the app feels unchanged.
Not at all. I love the idea of Copilot and similar systems!

Agreed, the problem isn't technical, it's political. Sometimes I wonder if people actually understand what "politics" actually means or ultimately entails. Politics is the result of wants. Person or group A wants things one way, Person or group B wants things another way, and these two sets of wants directly conflict in someway. How do you remedy who gets to have what they want in such a situation? That striving for getting what you want, is the literal definition of politics. At extremes, it means fighting one another to the death to resolve the matter (war/violence). Often times though, it's remedied by a bipartisan solution (which explains most things you see passed by governments and outcomes involving multiple parties), but such a solution only ensues when all parties involved are willing to have such a solution. If one party doesn't want such an outcome, and is still willing to fight to the death over such a matter, then that's sort of what happens...

Anyhow, with that said and by no offense, I find your post a bit ironic. Particularly that you imply it's an issue needing to be fixed, that people on twitter:

- can have extremely polarized views

and

- only consume the content that aligns with their views

These two are related, do you not see? Reducing polarized views, entails reducing the possible content that people could view on the platform, and thus is essentially restricting the platform to an aligned view or set of approved views (even if slightly - which means doing so would be polarizing in its own way). Basically, outside your post (imo correctly) stating that this isn't a technical issue, your post to me is like saying: "Twitter isn't the media I want to consume, as there exists viewpoints on issues on the platform (held by other people) - extreme polar opposite views which I don't like, and I only want to consume media that I like." Which would make you guilty of:

- wanting to only consume content that aligns with your views
The control software should not be physically able to command the hardware to enter an invalid state. You can do that by only exposing the 3 valid modes to the software or only enabling power to the emitter if every piece of hardware is in the correct place when the software request arrives.

You also have a hardware lock on the power - this can be as simple as a hardware timer (a RC circuit siffices) which limits how long the emitter can be on within in a given window to be safe.

Never trust the software. If you must trust some software, create a minimal set you CAN trust which isolates the rest of the software from the hardware.

You are correct, the discussion about how to exercise this bug (fast UI, blah blah) is interesting to hear but totally irrelevant to the lesson (don't trust software).
It’s definitely going to happen. Exactly like for Android which has allowed concurrent app stores for a decade and is now submerged under them. /s

So for those wondering why no US collaboration, you can blame republican octogenarian Frank Wolf for introducting the Wolf amendment prohibiting any and all NASA collaboration with china that isnt expressly sanctioned by the rest of the geriatrics in congress. he even managed to fuck up the 2013 Kepler Science Conference which resulted in a mass boycott after two chinese scientists were banned.

We had every opportunity to collaborate with chinese scientists aboard the ISS before this crap. The man is a traitor to science.

When we bought a piano for my daughter 15 years ago, the ability to make funny sounds was a key factor in picking up a digital piano rather than an acoustic. It made practice more fun which meant longer practice sessions. Plus, I think noodling and pure play is important. It should be a toy.

Personally, I'm on-board with protecting artists incomes, however, I think there's a middle-ground.

First, I'd like to correct a fact you omitted: Napster, Limewire and the like didn't come out of nowhere. They were created because artists and their recording companies forced consumers to buy entire CDs at inflated prices that kept rising. Now, what they got in return from their consumers after that wasn't fair either.

I don't think making AI generation illegal for everyone makes sense. That's how you get the Metallica's of the world bank-rolling professional grifters to hold people's grandmother's financially hostage.

I do think it makes sense to bar AI generated products from making money if the works used to train it did not belong to that company or individual. If you create a program using CoPilot, you should not earn money. If you make a comic using Stable Diffusion, you don't deserve money. This keeps the power players in check while allowing artists paths to use these AIs if they own their own work outright. Imagine if you could train CoPilot on your own code and then use it to help you. That to me sounds like the framing for a new and responsible form of innovation.

And to answer the question about bandwidth: If Obama with 150K followers spread across 1500 servers posts a 200KB image:
Obama's server will:
- have an outbound bandwidth of 300MB
- storage increased by 200KB.
The 1500 subscribing servers will:
- each have inbound bandwidth of 200KB
- have outbound bandwidth to devices of 20MB if they have 100 users each
- increase storage by 200KB

Those subscribers can boost(retweet) the toot, and then their subscribers will see it too. If they are on the same servers, the increase in bandwidth is only getting it to their devices.
- increase in storage of 200KB

> Funding social media through advertising has led to dysfunctional outcomes

> Eight dollars a month isn't much to pay if it improves my visibility

What you're describing in that second quote is advertising. You are paying for additional reach, in this case you'd get those additional impressions via "priority" in replies, mentions & search. What they've done is dressed up advertising as a membership feature because it'll make people like you more likely to advertise.
> an artist spends years learning to paint in the style of Michelangelo is that immoral?

This is a deceptive comparison. A human learns a style and adds their own ideas. They ideas are affected by their mood, schooling, beliefs and coffee this morning.

AI has only the training dataset. If you trained AI on 1000 copyrighted pictures, AI cant add its own ideas, it can only remix pixels from stolen work of other artists.

This is basically like money laundering, if you melted down stolen gold coins, and minted new coins, and then claimes this gold is yours because you made them.
As someone in the ecosystem, I've found a noticeable uptick in job postings the past few years. I haven't applied for such jobs so I can't personally attest to it.

You don't have a finite supply of people. Because people get to choose what they do. Even the dictatorships can't order people to become a good X if they don't have the interest.

It's the height of entitlement to think you're able to demand more of some profession come into existence. The worst regimes on earth can't manage it. The most you get to do is incentivize and make available the training and access and process to maybe get more of that. That's it.
I'm fine with allowing non-competes as long as the company pays the ex-employee their full salary for the length of the non-compete and can't rescind the non-compete without mutual consent. For example, an 18 month non-compete would mean 18 months of paid vacation after you leave a job.

I imagine this would be functionally equivalent to a ban on non-competes because it seems like it'd be an insane waste of money but if a company wants to provide a paid vacation on the way out I see no reason to stop them. Unpaid non-competes should be illegal as somebody's right to earn a living trumps a corporation's right to impose an unconscionable contract on its employees.

> [but] you gotta zoom in so far

If you'd share which software you're using, I can maybe suggest a solution. For the most common ones, the .org website and OsmAnd the Android app:

- on osm.org you can click on layers on the right and select a different presentation. OSM is a database, not a software package. The available presets are a few demos basically, there are a thousand websites out there with their own style or you could make your own (easiest might be via a commercial provider like mapbox, I'm not sure).

- OsmAnd: click on the mode you want to change, by default in browsing mode that's the world icon on the top left, scroll to the bottom section (translated from my German translation, it should be called Map Display Mode or so), and you can choose for e.g. UniRS whose help text (see top of screen after selecting) mentions it's for pedestrians and cyclists. In the same menu, I can also recommend Details->Show More Details, at least for browsing mode (in car navigation mode it might be less nice). One section above, you can also turn on walking routes, running routes, cycling routes, horse riding routes, etc. For regular use, you might want to enable that for a secondary profile though, as the screen usually is overwhelmed with even one of these sets of routes.
Let's not kid ourselves. Those protections exist for the benefit of corporations, not software developers. If those corporations could have robots write the software and copyright that software and patent it, they absolutely would.

"We should improve society somewhat..."

Seriously though, I would be happy to have a polite discussion about the reason for our choices in our Discord server!
The objective is to serve the requirements. The code, inasmuch as it “works”, doesn’t need to change. But the cases I enumerated are ones which frequently enable me to better serve requirements than making no changes. If a given bug fix takes N hours because the underlying code is hard to understand and maintain, it only takes a certain multiple of N before it’s prudent to invest some of those hours into making future fixes possible in N minutes instead. At a certain point, precluding changes on principle is directly opposed to serving requirements.
I don't think anyone is upset with those people. Generally people on HN are wealthy.

>systemd should be an optional package on all distros.

Why? Should glibc also be optional? What about the Linux kernel? What about apt-get? You can technically replace those things but it's a ton of extra work, almost like shipping a completely different distro. At the end of the day, a distro decides what packages it wants to support and what it doesn't. The specific choice of supported packages is often what defines a distro and sets it apart from the rest. If they have limited manpower and choose to save themselves time by picking only one init, or libc, or desktop environment, or anything, that's their decision.

>but would any here really insist on forcing everyone else to use your methods and no others?

No. There are hundreds of Linux distributions to choose from, and anyone can make more distributions any time they want. No one is forced to do anything. Also, using Linux is optional to begin with.

>systemd, among other valid criticisms, is unmistakably fascist. For anyone but parent, don't just be thin-skinned and downvote my comment because you have allowed yourself to be insulted. Be courageous and disagree with me if you can. How is systemd not fascist?

You should stop and think a bit more before making these comments that you appear to be acknowledging as histrionic and insulting. By this definition BSD is also "fascist" due to only shipping BSD init, and the Linux kernel is "fascist" due to only shipping one set of drivers, and Devuan is also "fascist" for not supporting systemd...
I am on a smaller server but I'm seeing delays from the big servers, yeah. I'm trying to advocate for people to find smaller servers (e.g. < 10k users) but it's something that really needs improving in the UX (that is, encouraging people to use smaller servers instead of joining one big server.

Agreed. If I like a writer I always find better ways than Twitter to follow them - Substack, etc

And even if they tweet something worthwhile it’s usually followed by 98% garbage replies with “LOL you’re so stupid” so I’m not wasting my time sifting through that trash heap.

It is useful for events with people on the ground to share info - the story of the guy in Pakistan tweeting about helicopters when Bin Laden was killed was pretty amazing to be honest.

But those types of writers tend to die out after the event.

Elon Musk.

Sure he's successful in the real world but having money doesn't make you a celebrity. I wouldn't recognize most of the Forbes list if I passed them in the street. He's actual famous, instead of Wikipedia famous, because of how he's engaged his supporters through Twitter. The chance to interact with him or have him like your meme is the content.
My broad understanding of Erlang is this:

A single erlang node runs on a dedicated OS process. It consists of one or more Erlang processes, which are essentially Carl Hewitts actors, which are very lightweight, don't share any memory, and hundreds and thousands of them can be multiplexed onto the handful of cores of a typical server. The idea being that if one erlang "process" dies, the whole system doesn't come to a halt. There's also no stray pointers, because all communication is done through deep copying messages, so there's no pointers referring to the process of another memories process.

Where it gets murky for me is how it interacts with databases. There's mnesia which... I don't understand. Is it embedded? I know it can run on top of stuff like LevelDB and RocksDb, and those engines don't like you opening the same database multiple times on the same OS process. But how do you stop that happening?

Also how do you test the whole thing? You could test individual processes I guess, but testing the interaction between them all seems fairly impossible.
