There's already bots that are capable of this (often used for cheating in games) - but this research is trying something more difficult and interesting - which is teaching an AI how to play a game, with nothing but a ton of learning material.

Things like moving around the map in a rational way, learning how to counterplay enemies, tactics when entering a room, all based on solely visual data, are extremely difficult. These skills are much more intuitive to humans, but much harder to learn than "there is a human head at {523,1021}"

Wait a minute, corporations can't police their own platform? Sure they can. "Freedom of speech" is a political freedom -> free from persecution from the government.

If Twitter (or Elon as owner of his private company) wants to take down a post that exposes internal dealings then they're completely within their right to do that.
But that doesn't relate at all to the other, more important conversation of Twitter limiting certain voices (Trump, et al). Stop mixing the two.

I remember some years back when Microsoft fired an employee for taking pictures of some boxes of brand new Macintosh computers on their campus and publishing it on the internet as a way to lightly smear the company (for using non-MS products apparently). MS was fully within their right to do that and nobody screamed "freedom of speech" back then.
I don't think either of these are ideologies, and if they were, I'm pretty sure they do not necessarily conflict.

I guess it is just a numbers game, but this whole page is one of the more unintelligent threads on HN I have ever seen.
No it doesn't, that table (from [0]) lists equity investors, not lenders.

Wife and I use Bitwarden. My master password is in hers and hers is stored in mine. I once toyed with the idea of building a "dead man's switch"-type service that requires clicking a confirmation button of some sort at a regular interval and which would then send any info you want in the form of emails and/or a physical courier. I looked around and saw a few available so I dropped it. But I haven't subscribed to such a service myself.

All those employees signed NDAs that said they would not disclose private company communications… this is way different than censoring a user who is under no such agreement.
>Which just results in the top content being short-form videos which provide quick-facts, not something I can actually learn with.

Youtube also has tons of long-form 1+ hours content. There's a recent machine learning video that's 25+ hours long and it's not hidden away in obscurity. It's prominently listed on the 1st page of search results for "deep learning tutorial" : https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=deep+learning+t...

As another example, I got a friend exposed to sewing channels on Youtube. Some content creators create hour-long "sew alongs" which she watches every week now to learn new techniques. It fills in a gap left behind by Public Television since they don't air sewing shows anymore.

Lots of long-form videos in car repairs, woodworking, etc.

EDIT ADD: the 25-hour deep learning video example is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_ikDlimN6A

But what does that have to do with scanning webservers for vulnerabilities, do they do something with the "newly seen sites", and if so is it documented what they do for scanning?

It seems like he could have accomplished that without signing an agreement to purchase Twitter - especially one that waived due diligence.

1) Tweet things like "I should buy Twitter", "I'm working on moving money around, finding investors, and freeing up money I have tied up to buy Twitter", "Hate selling Tesla, but we need a free speech platform. People will be getting bargains on TSLA!"

2) Sell the Tesla stock he wanted to sell.

3) Make an insulting offer for TWTR at a low value with all sorts of contingencies.

He wasn't planning on finalizing the purchase? When you aren't planning on finalizing the purchase, you put in all sorts of contingencies. You don't waive everything.

I'd say he tried to back out after the market started turning. It became clear that a lot of ad-based platforms were going to be facing some hard times ahead and interest rates started climbing.

I mean, if he'd waited a few months to make his "I want to buy Twitter" play, he'd been able to have offered a ton less. I think Twitter's board of directors went from "we're going to fight Musk" to "Musk must buy us" because of how the market turned. Had Twitter's board "drunk the kool-aid" when they were fighting the buyout?

I think it's in part a case of bad timing. In April, people were paying $130 for GOOG. A month later it was only $113 and now it's $85. META was $210 in April and now it's $89 (their story does have some complications around metaverse stuff). In November 2021, people were paying $54 for TWTR. In January when Musk started buying shares, Twitter was in the $30s. Without Musk's stated buyout offer, Twitter shares probably would have sank like Google or Meta's. Musk probably realized that he wasn't getting Twitter for cheap offering $54.20/share (below their 52-week high), but actually way overpaying given market conditions that were rapidly declining.

Twitter's board of directors wanted to adopt a poison pill to prevent getting $54.20/share in a hostile takeover.

I think it's hard to argue "it was just a ruse to dump Tesla stock". You don't waive due diligence if it's a ruse. Twitter's board wouldn't have been so hostile to it if they thought it was a great price. It's more just that the market conditions shifted a lot over the Spring, Summer, and Fall this year. If Musk had waited 6 months to make the offer, he probably could have bought Twitter for $15-20B instead of $44B.
> sudo make install

Even ignoring security issues, all of make getting elevated privileges can cause other issues as well.

All it takes is the incremental build system being a little finicky, and "sudo make install" could rebuild an object as root, and now one or more of your ".o" files are owned by root and your build directory is broken.
(Because of unfounded claims of fraud, according to the losing candidate).
It's a shame. There are many ways that the voting machines could be improved but that will be much harder now that the far right has monopolized the discourse on auditable paper trails in their self-serving attempts to overturn valid election results.

If you care exclusively about numerical stability and performance, why _this_ set of operators (e.g., there’re plenty of good reasons to include expm1 or log1p and certainly trigonometric functions)? It’d be an interesting research problem to measure and identify the minimal subset of operators (and I suspect it’d look differently than what you’d expect from an FPU).

If you care exclusively about minimalism, why not limit yourself to the Meijer-G function (or some other general-purpose alternative)?

Horrible for the free market, imo.
True.

Edit: I initially said none of the upstream maintainers call it a rewrite, but I was wrong because the original author did in fact use that turn of phrase on several occasions including in the manual and in a talk.

I agree though it's not an ideal way to describe it because it has some many differences too. It's not a port of TeX to a different language. As you suggest TeX-inspired is much nearer the mark. It's a from-scratch effort at addressing roughly the same problem space. It does re-implement some of the same algorithms. One of it's input syntaxs resembles TeX (although the resemblance is not even skin deep). But no it is not a rewrite, just a new take.
What's your evidence that there are bots on here? There's nothing worse than people just throwing out conspiracy theories with nothing to back them.

It seems like a natural fit to add a dev-friendly identity layer. They are already building a consumer facing identity layer.
Even after HP and HPE had split, when HPE acquired Cray I had a lot of fun asking Cray employees how things were going in the printer business.

Splitting to make companies leaner makes sense, but does pose some brand-confusion difficulties, beyond the mild trolling by people like me.

He wouldn’t need to declare bankruptcy because they’re not his loans. They’re Twitter’s.
> First very simple point, to become insolvent you have to actually take a loss somewhere. They may have a lot of junk tokens on their balance sheet, and these tokens may be overmarked, but Alameda's cost basis (most of them were from seed rounds) is still way below their current value.

Hypothetical scenario: Alice invests $100M in seed rounds for a bunch of tokens. The token values go way up, and the holdings are nominally worth $14B. Alice borrows $7B in real dollars. Alice loses those real dollars on other bets. The nominal value of the tokens is still $14B, but Alice can't actually liquidate them for $7B in real dollars. So Alice is functionally unable to pay back the loans.

So Alice took a loss somewhere (on the other bets) and is effectively insolvent, but you can't assess that just by looking at the cost basis of the tokens that Alice still holds.

(I don't know if this actually describes Alameda; it's entirely possible that Alameda's loans are token-denominated as you're saying, in which case Alameda would be solvent. I'm just pointing out that it's more complicated than just looking at the cost basis.)
Those models are predicated on every user having an ‘inbox’

Do you believe that every Twitter user has an inbox stored on disk somewhere that just contains every tweet posted by someone they follow?
My own view is that it is not legal for humans to produce derivatives of copyrighted works currently. So therefore it is probably already not legal to train an artificial intelligence using copyrighted works to in order to produce derivatives either.
Yes, I'd like to see that. I did spend about 15 minutes googling for any evidence similar to this and came up completely empty-handed.
Depends on what you do. If you have app server and use it to give access for developers to restart their apps, them getting root on the server is entirely irrelevant.

It's more so the curious dev don't just go sudo bash and changes stuff willy nilly then forgets what they changed.

We do avoid wildcards like plague but honestly regexp support would be more useful, then our devs could just have say

^/bin/systemctl (start|stop|restart|status) app-([a-z0-9\.\-]+)$

and be pretty safe.
The intent of the law is to allow time to prepare for macro level effects in case of a mass layoff. This gives the government time to spin up unemployment resources and job transition programs, in theory.
> A huge number of people have lost their livelihoods, sense of belonging and might fall into financial hardships in current market conditions

At the end of the day, CA is an at-will employment state. Anyone can get fired anytime, and it is up to everyone to be prepared for that. Any person working in any company X can meet the same fate - it's like being prepared for an earthquake, which can happen anytime. I'm not condoning what's happening at Twitter, but the idea that those employees had no way to be prepared for this is false. Though I agree with you that we should show empathy to those affected.

Maybe short people *could* get a stand but that would be a *horrible* idea. Too much of your body mass will be over the freezer, falling in is a substantial safety risk. Falling headfirst into a hole is a position that can be hard to escape even for those in good shape. This is a known hazard of winter recreation (falling into an unseen hollow under the snow) for which the only real defense is not to go alone as you're unlikely to survive long enough for search and rescue to get to you even if you are able to call them.
I regularly read Singal-Minded and it still took me until "I am a lawyer" before I scrolled back up and checked the author name.
Sadly, no. Developers do this all the time. They set out to "change the world" without first understanding why the world is the way it is in the first place. Their going-in assumption is things are the way they are because everybody else isn't nearly as smart as them and just can't figure it out. Developer delivers solution - it falls flat on its face.

Some people respond to this repeated experience by learning to ask questions to better understand why things are the way they are and eventually those people may come to develop truly revolutionary technology.

Others just become serial entrepreneurs.
this is fucked up

manufacturing content from the voices/faces of prominent people that have died is no bueno

Federal WARN Act requires 60 days. States like CA and NY have additional constraints, but it’s typically more strict definitions of what constitutes a mass layoff (total count, number of employees at a single site) or who is covered. Haven’t checked in a while, but ISTR NY, for example, has a lower employer size threshold than Federal law.
Not only tell the person being laid off, but also inform a government office of the planned mass layoff so they can prepare unemployment resources, job transition/retraining programs, and things like that.

Only applies in the case of mass layoffs.

I'd imagine part of the job of the people working there would be to limit the number of false positives.
The challenge here is that too many people will assume it did it right and not verify. That creates an attack vector. That creates another thing for people to yell fraud about. With paper, there can be no bait and switch, you physically have to press pencil to paper.

As far as the "people don't color the circles correctly", the counter machine can kick that back and say "unclear scan, please verify all circles are colored correctly" and not count that ballot.

AWS and Amazon desperately need to split. The retail business is a massive drag on AWS, and if it can't stand alone then it should be allowed to modernize or die without being kept on life support.

Similar splits for the other major clouds would be less important, but probably still beneficial for the market overall.
In all earnestness - why?

It's not like anyone would be fooled into thinking this was real. What's the harm?
How much lifting can the check mark do?

Twitter has 450 million users that log in at least once a month.

450,000,000 MDAU * $8 * 12 months = 43.2 Billion/year

But they won't sell 450 M check marks. If we take that 100% down to 1% (4.5M), you're back down to $432 MM / year, which isn't enough to cover the interest payment.

Are there even 4.5M who want a check mark? The current estimate is 420,000.
That would be $40 MM / year. If you payed 10 people $200,000/year to support and develop features for the check mark, that would be $2 MM/year, and your profit would be down to $38 MM / year.

Let's say that you had one low wage screener for every 10,000 check marks (to make sure they have a good time and don't see too much spam) That would be 42 employees, add another 3 for management (but they get paid more). The screeners cost $20,000 each because they're offshore, so that's $840,000. Add another $200,000 for their management and that's another million a year down the drain.

If you want to run your own numbers, here's a sheet (make a copy): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15WtfofzrEWE65nQH63_Z...
But that wouldn't make sense. How many people are going to pay the $8 a month while also being OK with ads? I can pay $8 to Hulu and get an AD supported video streaming service, since I can't get the content for free legally. Why would i pay that same amount to still see ads while also paying to see tweets that other people have created?
From [https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/read-blunt-twitter-email-...], it says that the actual termination date is Feb 2 and they keep all compnand benefits until then. They just can't access company systems or violate the code of conduct. Seems like they're not actually laid off yet?
Utensils in general are 19th century. Back in the day people just carried a sharp knife with them to stab their food. Spoons didn't exist in Europe until mid-17th century. Forks came into fashion in the 18th century in Europe, only reaching America by the 19th century. The main purpose was for scooping food off a plate, and steadying food for cutting.

Any non-crappy japanese, chinese, korean, etc restaurant will give you reusable chopsticks. Korean stuff is all metal so it's easy to clean. Some people are weird and bring their own portable chopsticks (they screw together and have a pouch).
2. - My impression is that a lot of "AI"'s and chatbots have coped quite poorly when interacting with malicious users.
>> Get that through your head. They owe you nothing.

>If you want to be abrasive on tangents, you can definitely be that guy, but that was not the subject, rather the nature of censorship. You completely disregard my example of iligitemate private censorship by the banks, intended to point out the problem, only to forcefully restate a extremist ideological position that doesn't really function in any true society. Ok...

Abrasive or not, it's not a tangent. It's the central point.

I didn't disregard anything -- rather, I didn't address the tangent you were off on.

Yes, censorship is bad. There. I addressed your tangent.

However, mine is not an extremist position at all. Freedom of expression and property rights are core elements of Western civilization.

Clearly, we're talking past each other. Which is too bad.

But I'll restate my main thesis once more: You can say whatever you want. But you are not entitled to an audience. And here's the proof.
> It's worrying how often people assume that disagreement is necessarily inauthentic

I don't think the OP is assuming that, but it's not unreasonable to consider that lots of brand new accounts created to comment on cryptocurrency may not be authentic - primarily because they may have a vested interest to shill / be astroturfing.
The difference is that Twitter does not enforce those agreements as quickly for any company that's not Twitter.

Hence what people are complaining about: one set of rules for Twitter (the company) making requests of Twitter (the platform) and another set of rules for everyone else.

And really, it's the own-goalness of this that's likely irking everyone. Musk wants to get the high ground of a public space... and then he/someone at Twitter immediately burns that narrative on something trivial that doesn't even matter.

The sheer stupidity of taking it down makes me think it's probably internal HR.
If they are blind or disabled, someone likely brought them physically to the voting precinct or they can do a mail-in ballot.
Why Meta's share price collapse is good news for the future of social media
Profits are the floor, as I mentioned. Negative profits in the absence of growth means the floor is 0 and the company may go under. That a stock can go to zero does not mean there's no floor under the price, but it depends on the company as to what that is.
But does Twitter have a signed copy of all those agreements? No. How could they?

Either they comply without hesitation to all takedown requests, or they don't take anything down unless ordered by a court. Doing something in the middle injects a level of moderation that goes against their "free speech" principles.
