So - looking at this it seems Turkmenistan [a repressive, North Korea style dictatorship] is destroying our climate system at an order of magnitude faster than anyone else. I'm well aware of the legacy that Iraq/Afghanistan have left in terms of international interventions into other countries; but if it is our common future on the balance, shouldn't we do something? Something more than just politely asking to stop?
I think this would do the complete opposite. Create two tiers of of users: Lords with the money to spend $8/month on getting a blue tick next to their name, and the peasants who don't cough up.

Hi there, I am a 20 year old student + freelance developer looking for a summer internship or a part time freelance job for when I am done working at my current freelance position. I founded a software development startup which I worked at for 3 years, then I had an internship at Optical Engines, Inc. this past summer. Now I am working at Dugan Dentistry building an image processing app for dentists to use with their patients.

I am a senior at Colorado School of Mines and I am pursuing my masters in computer science this coming year. I am willing to relocate for an internship over the summer, but I am unable to relocate outside of the summer because I will be in school.
Why does he care? Seems like that's worse for Twitter than it is for him.

[EDIT] My point is, from King's perspective, this likely looks like "you're here and making $X over what you would if you just relied on your fans to repost all your stuff on here for you, we're making $Y more than we otherwise would because you're here, plus we've given you this blue-check thing to solve a problem we have, but now $Y isn't enough and we're going to make you pay money to keep participating in this program that exists to solve a problem for us."

You can see how, unless $X is pretty big, someone who's already rich might say, "well fine, fuck you too" over such a thing.

I’ll get hammered for this, but why do people own cars like that, why on earth would people need a F350 super duty ? What practical purpose would it serve ?

The climate is breaking down and people are cruising around in trucks like that? I don’t know…
The "content" here is just tweets. It may not be "content" in the way you are imagining, but it's still true that almost all twitter users are using the site to view tweets from a small number of people (call them content creators or influencers if you like) with large numbers of followers.
VERY disappointed there is no 48MP RAW available.

The iPhone cameras are superb I think, but the "Apple Image Processing" renders stock camera photos useless for me. The watercolor smear and color smoothness that the article talks about. I like noise, don't smooth away the reality of life.

ProRAW is confusing because it is not RAW at all, instead it's an uncompressed image that has had a milder "Apple Image Processing" applied.

I've tested the iPhone 14 Pro, and the ProRAW files are too processed for me. They are not "reality". This is a philosophical concept. Do I want to capture what I see, or a smoothed watercolor ideal of what Apple think I should see?

I want a 48MP genuine RAW file that I can post-process in Lightroom or Photoshop. Here's looking forward to the iPhone 15 Pro!
What this analogy is saying is that if an image is generic and derivative enough (or massively overrepresented in the training data) it may be possible to reconstruct a very close approximation from the model. If the training data is unbiased, I question the validity of copyright claims on an image that is sufficiently derivative that it can be reproduced in this manner.
> Copilot can produce code verbatim, but it doesn't unless you specifically set up a situation to test it.

It does not matter what a service can or cannot do. We do not regulate based on ability, but on action.

The service has an obligation to the license holders of the training data to not violate the license. The mechanism for which the license is violated is irrelevant. The only thing that matters is the code ended up somewhere it shouldn’t, and the service is the actor in the chain of responsibility that dropped the ball.

The prompting of the service is irrelevant. If I ask you to reproduce a block of GPL code in my codebase and you do it, you violated the license. It does not matter that I primed you or lead you to that outcome. What matters is the legally protected code is somewhere it shouldn’t be.
They aren't. The EU is in the news right now because they cracked down on nuclear and fossil fuels and - after succeeding - ended up in an energy crisis.

You can see what countries trying to secure cheap energy do by looking at China and India - lots of coal, lots of oil, bring on as much capacity in nuclear and renewables as they can. They're playing with effectively 4x as many sources of energy as the EU despite the Europeans having a wealth and tech lead! I say 4x because renewables aren't quite a big enough energy source to break up into components.
I don't think it works that way?

When Oprah is seen dining at a restaurant, the restaurant gets more value from the PR than Oprah gets from the meal. That does not lead to the conclusion that she should go open a restaurant.
> It makes it so much easier to have multiple laptops

You're getting away from having a pet then.

And once you consider that you might have a third laptop for something work related and be able to duplicate the base configuration then you no longer have pets and you just need configuration management.

That isn't even the common use case of most IT professionals, much less most laptop users.
It levels a few people and covers the rest of the field with potholes.
one of the main touted draws of twitter is it's suppose to be the "public square of the internet". you not liking what someone posts shouldn't really curtail that (minus them being a private company and what not)
I don't think he did do that. Stephen King made it clear he wouldn't pay any price on principle.
can this work in conjunction with emacs?

I love ediff, but getting it to easily work with groups of files has always puzzled me.

I've always had to write some custom lisp to force ediff to do it, and it didn't unwind easily.
I think this is an extremely privileged perspective.
Leadership as a concept is chaff thrown up by those in charge to avoid us referring to them as rulers or bosses. It's been quite successful and so most people now believe some variant on the myth that there is indeed an identifiable quality called leadership, and that the more of it you have the more qualified you are to be a leader.

That said, some rulers and bosses are better than others, in a variety of senses. It's not wrong to categorize them and try to figure out how and why they are better or worse, but it is IMO important to try and resist the temptation to adopt the worldview that the word "leadership" drags along with it.
> Twitter needs the blue checks because they are, to a large degree, the reason non-blue-checks visit and engage with Twitter.

That may have been true at one time, but I'm not so sure it is any more.
I have been planning on allowing users to start using the tool without signing up and the data would just stay in the browser.

Unfortunately I would have to redo my syncing if the content on the server was encrypted which I don't plan to do anytime soon.

The social idea is great.
It's just the evolution of a marketeer.
I mean, yeah. But also, democracy and civil discourse are more endangered outside of twitter then inside of it. If twitter becomes bad enough, it will be next 4chan or whatever.

However, politicians lying and gloating after basically yet another domestic terrorist attacks, politicians trying to make it harder for opposition to vote will stay.
I wish I thought of that when I had the co-pilot trial. If that works, I might have had a different opinion of my experience with it.
No idea. I won't do 'tests' when interviewing. They want to know how good I am, I got code on GitHub, I got references. Or hey, just talk to me. But no exams, not gonna, nope.
You're in luck - that's what Parler is, and it's free!

> Because when I go to a live performance, watch a movie, browse an art gallery, etc., I am training my brain on copyrighted work

you paid for it and enjoyed it in the way the artist intended.

> I am training my brain on copyrighted work.

too bad your brain alone is useless.

You need good hands to replicate much of the copyrighted works you "trained" your brain on.

> No artist has developed their style in a vacuum.

some absolutely did, indeed.

I don't know how well this generalises, but in my sample size most people including myself don't even know our own phone number if asked. You don't exchange phone numbers. You might hold out your phone for the other person to scan your Snapchat QR or tell them @hn2022 and a platform like instagram. If you say hn#2022 people know automatically which platform that is. A sizable amount don't even have phone numbers and opt for data plan only for cost savings if paying for their own plan.

"And then Elon Musk showed up for his first day of work as Twitter’s chief executive officer — technically its Chief Twit — and said “hey, do you have any other contracts I could violate?”

Oh, this is going to be a fun read.

In response to your quote, I guess he did it as revenge for making him go through with it.

If you’re a journalist (or your other suggestions) then you’re basically using Twitter as free advertising to (a) your followers and (b) people who read your tweets which have been retweeted. Having people coming towards the way you actually make money is probably worth a lot more than $8 per month to you, even considering that journalists aren’t so well paid (the idea of blue checks getting paywall bypass could be very good for journalists too – they could end up more directly getting value out of people coming to their work from Twitter).

Paying $8 per month for this free advertising seems pretty great. How much would it cost to send this out via actual ads or eg mailchimp (but of course it is much easier to have new people see your tweets than your marketing emails)?
If you have written software for planes you should know that it is near impossible to fuck up this bad. It is hard to fuck up at level D like that, it is near impossible to fuck up this way at A(or was it classified at B?).

The amount of people who have to have went "this doesn't seem too important, I don't need to check this" is unfathomable. That such an error was not caught speaks of a deep rot in the entire organization, from management down to the guys writing the software.

How does that help in the context in the current discussion? We're clearly drawing a distinction between technical implementation details and design decisions. Twitter made a design decision to only allow following people and Topics, and not supporting a dislike button. Notice how I didn't mention anything about how those are implemented, because those would be technical details.

Everyone's bogged down in how Twitter is implemented, rather than addressing the high-level design of the website itself.

Maybe I'm misreading something, but I don't understand the discrepancy. According to the wiki article, human output is 363 megatons/year. 111,000 lb/hr = 55.5 tons/hr = 0.5 megatons/year. Still a lot though!
Allstreet | Mobile Developer (Flutter) | Remote US | Full-Time

We’re an Atomic-backed startup (currently in stealth) that is building a first-of-its-kind fintech product that will expand access to investment expertise and market execution to the next generation of investors. No kidding - we are building something new.
We’re a small remote team that come from companies like Google, Meta, Acorns, Wealthfront, and JP Morgan Chase. We have a product in the hands of a few users - they like it, but it needs work. We have regulatory approval & we’re well funded. We are working towards getting the product ready for a public launch.

We’re looking for an experienced mobile / flutter developer that is:
An excellent communicator
A developer that takes ownership over their work and knows how to unblock themselves
A strong coder that mostly writes simple, maintainable code
4+ years of engineering experience

We also have plenty of non-flutter work to do if you are up for it.

> worse case interpretations

More often than not those end up not having been too far off.

The total time to implement might get stretched out, components dirtied by general public resistance will be repackaged or repurposed, and any debate or discussion not in the plan's favour will be actively misdirected.

It's a sound strategy, and I hate everything about it.

Even a single one of which is nigh impossible to avoid. At least some data - either by you, from you, or about you - will end up on AWS/GCP/Azure. A fact of life.

All of which solve problems that are easily mitigated today, on my own terms, for less effort, and either for free or for cheap.

Not a very good deal at all.
Almost everything is irrelevant to a hostile nation state, because by its very nature it can outspend your security if it cares badly enough. In the immortal words of James Mickens[0], "If your adversary is the Mossad, YOU’RE GONNA DIE AND THERE’S NOTHING THAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT."

Raising the costs has a general effect of cutting out people who do not care enough to pay - be it individuals, companies, or governments.
