Elon's hate is getting quite delusional.

Yes and we've been taught from a young age that capitalism and democracy are joined at the hip. But when we look back we can see how capitalism accommodated itself quite nicely to domination starting from the early modern period.
The last one to slowly decay into a festering pool of goop, colonized by competing microorganisms seeking to dominate the goop with their own tiny idea of what success looks like, while higher ad-versaries extract sustenance from them and the goop for a short while, until a sticky dead equilibrium is reached.

I am a strong opponent to CGT for businesses. I suspect it would be hard to introduce CGT just for real estate. Reasons for hating on CGT:

1. in NZ we need more investment in businesses, and less in real estate. I think introducing CGT would decrease business initiation and growth.

2. Most businesses fail i.e. your expected returns are often negative. The power law returns mean your expected return is highly dependent on winning big (VC model that one massive winner makes up for 10 losers), but CGT discourages winning big, and it discourages early investment in businesses.
I just counted all of my signal chats that have had activity since the beginning of September and there’s 34 of them. On WhatsApp that number is 29 and on iMessages(not SMS) it’s 21.

The best way I’ve found to actually get people to keep using signal after you’ve got them to download it is to respond to their WhatsApp messages on signal. It won’t take long until they stop initiating conversations on WhatsApp.

> My money's on Musk.

Same. Worst case scenario for Musk is he gets Tesla to bankroll the takeover with
some BS synergies as justification (like he did with Solar City). With fewer engineering resources, I don't expect any major changes to the platform. Advertisers might flee due to the uncertainty (and couldn't care less about Twitter) but as for the user base, they have no credible alternative to Twitter. Users will likely stick around for a while unless Musk pushes a few more footguns.
> Instead of human monitors, we add computer monitors. Which then
initiate a safe system shutdown.

The author seems to argue against this "solutionism". The main theme
is atrophy, mainly of attention and internal working model (responsive
competence) that decays without regular human involvement.

> increasing automation, increasing system complexity, faster
processing, more inter-connectivity, and an even greater human and
societal dependence on technology. What could possibly go wrong?

The question is what could possibly go right? And indeed the author
offers good, positive suggestions;

- breaking the loop (no invisible self-corrections)

- making complex systems shallow (not nested)

- emphasis on action/doing with hands rather than passively
monitoring with eyes and ears.

Unfortunately I don't think rational engineering and design will allow
correction before real disasters come from over-dependency (especially
in the digital realm), because the course we are on is not rational.

It looks rational. It seems the very essence of rationality. But
taken to the limit it is a totally irrational human death-wish to
grovel, prostrate at the feet of machines, qua ideology. And it's
getting harder to hide despite fervent rationalisation around
"efficiency", "necessity", "inevitability"... ad nauseum. We just
want to surrender into the arms of "convenience".
I think there is more to it.... They will probably require a non-anonymous credit card and if things line up you are verified.

So it is probably +$8/month -75% of the cost of that feature.

"Pull out your credit card and pay" is a nice anti-spam feature and verification is a bank duty anyway. So it is pretty likely that any abuse can be pushed down to the person doing the impersonation.

Plus it is most valuable to brands (even personal brands), so $8/month isn't much.

If Musk wants twitter to be the town square for the world, that town square needs to be accessible for all.

Even though this might not directly affect Simon, hats off to him for making that decision. If twitter starts becoming as inaccessible as most other systems it will lock out people and remove their voices from twitter. That feels like an incredibly valid reason, and isn't the point of free markets to vote with your feet?
Yes. Bring back the killfile, so the user can decide.

With a large initial hardware but that can’t be used for anything else. I could see my European consumer protection authority ruling that they need to offer the option of hardware buyback in cases where the contract changes.
As far as I understand Twitter had a paid option for $5 before, the change now is that they're raising the price to $8 and more importantly they are coupling this to the blue verified mark. But the reports also indicate that there won't be any verification of identity anymore, which to me sounds like it would entirely defeat the purpose of the thing. If random scammers can just buy blue checkmarks they will very quickly lose their meaning, and why would you pay for them then?
4Mb/s * 3600s * 8 hours work per day * 20 days / 8 bits = 288GB.
They are at least less powerful and resourceful and you can simply switch your instance or make your own.

None of this is true for Twitter.

The existence of https://github.com/robertylewis/mathematica makes me think it's more likely to go in the other direction, where you treat powerful tools as untrusted oracles which produce certificates that Lean then verifies.
Minor nitpick:

GPON is 2.5G/1G, not 1G/1G, and use 10G uplinks, but the basic point stands.

Also, when upgrading to 10G PON, split ratios aren’t usually increased, but kept at the same 1:32.

Wholesale bandwidth is less than 5 cents per Mbps, and that’s for bandwidth you have to pay for.

Settlement free peering and content caches (like Netflix uses) are free of usage fees. This can account for up to 80% of traffic.

Probably more like a zealous lawyer at Apple heard of it and based on a lawyery scenario/edge case (that would probably encompass all videos on youtube) decided to send the notice for takedown to youtube.
Youtube being run by zealous lawyers don't question any takedown by corps because at their scale, any % of false negative would be costly if they all issued lawsuits.
Twitter has been "done" for half a decade now. It just keeps going despite being a cesspool. It was never the trendy or the biggest social network. I don't think it will collapse.

I personally only use twitter to follow things. It is handy. You can follow updates on software or services. You can follow politics, celebrities, friends etc. I don't want to watch people dance or post altered selfies all day long. I also don't want to follow a bunch of rss feeds and shit.

Look at antirez's recent post about linked lists. It cam from people arguing about linked lists on twitter. About freaking linked lists. This is usenet territory here. Won't find that on any other social network.

Only thing that is similar for me is Reddit and it is also a cesspool, also keeps going.
So what's a viable framework where employees can get an official say?

My mind went to DAOs where employees all allocated governance tokens and anyone can propose a new idea and others can use their tokens to vote.

>it never occurred to me that it could be used for configs.

It can't be. Using "markdown" for config really means building a shitty ad hoc configuration language and embedding it in markdown. I've seen this a few times and it's always a disaster.

The only way I've found to make configuration tolerable is to go in the opposite direction and turn it into code with a declarative eDSL. For example Pulumi's typescript API is an absolute godsend after years of toiling away on HCL and YAML.
interesting quote, at what point can we accept that Twitter was overstaffed and not performing well?

They wanted to see, if we were selling nest devices. I told them no, but they could find them in this and that shop.

They answered something along the lines: “Don’t worry, we already have enough of them. Our son Tony invented those, and everytime we travel around the world, we would check, if stores would sell them and send him a picture.”

They were really nice.
The autorest project uses this actually.

It works by embedding yaml code blocks into a markdown file.

It’s actually not completely awful and has proven somewhat useful to have a configuration clearly documented within the config.

Liz Truss tried to implement a $48 billion tax cut plan that mostly benefited the very rich. She wasn’t elected to her position either (Conservative party insiders chose her).

In a sense the Truss premiership was a risky investment by the British elite that would have given them a massive windfall if it had worked. And Twitter is a risky investment by the American right-wing elite, many of whom put in their money with Musk without doing any due diligence (Ellison, Andreessen etc.)
Remote work from my van requires video conferencing, easily more than 200 hours per month. 1 TB would limit me to 5 GB per hour. I have been doing much more than that the last 5 months on Starlink.

I object to you calling that abuse. I certainly am not 'taking the piss' out of this service. I pay over 250 euro for Starlink (including 24/7 offgrid batteries and dish) so by suddenly limiting me to 1000 GB I now pay over 0,25 euro per GB.

I am in sparse regions where my satellites are not overtaxed (no cities nearby for 300 km).

If Starlink would equally trottle everyone in speed when the system is oversubscribed at peak times a day I would not mind as much, but a data cap throttles/limits me much more. And now I also have to start counting my traffic and set alarms (waking me up) to voluntairily limit my data.

And your manager wanders over and sees you haven’t written a single line of code in the last three hours and makes a mental note that you might need a kick in the pants to get up to speed.

I’m pretty good at hunting bugs but once in a while I just can’t figure out why something isn’t working and if I had to worry about being “that guy” because I had to ask for help I’d…well, things would go really bad really fast.

Assuming the OP didn’t overly exaggerate their skill set to get the job that place sounds like a nightmare to work at.
Moderation that is solely user-based doesn't work well at scale. It means you expect every user to block every asshole they come across, and each time they have to endure some asshole first before blocking them.
> Linked lists are simple. It is one of those rare data structures, together with binary trees and hash tables and a few more, that you can implement just from memory without likely stepping into big errors.

One of the best engineers in Microsoft’s devdiv told me that he often gave a linked list implementation in C as a whiteboard assignment for interviewees and that no one ever managed a bug-free version. (I failed mine even after creating a full general purpose implementation on my own just a couple years before.)

I think even if he was correct that Twitter has a lot bloat that needs to be cut, I really struggle to believe you could accurately judge who or what needs to be cut when slashing your 7000 employee business in half within 5-6 days of walking in the door. The chance of making big mistakes and cutting critical staff and teams is very high.
As someone who cares for a blind father, I can't stomach the decision to eliminate the accessibility team. I am myself moving to Mastodon. I was amazed in doing this that the UI/UX of Mastodon is much better than Twitter. I feel better.

It has a better equation-solver and simplifier than anything available in open-source. For instance, I have a lot of experience with Sympy, but Sympy has no ability to detect that an equation has a piecewise solution, while Mathematica does. Sympy often finds a solution to an equation that is true most of the time but is generally wrong, while Mathematica gives a piecewise solution that's correct in every case.

It also has a great toolset for making interactive plots. Assuming you understand the following jargon, it uses the functional reactive paradigm.

All possible variable names in Mathematica are pre-declared, unlike in general-purpose programming languages.* For instance, the variable "x" is predeclared, and when its value is printed out, it prints out "x". Sympy and Sage absolutely use the wrong approach here. You can work around the problem in Sympy using

from sympy.abc import *

but this is honestly rather shit.

The editor is nice, in that it suggests documentation, and offers to auto-complete your code. It's similar to an IDE in that respect. This compares favourably against Maxima, where some people suggest to use it via Emacs, and then you don't get access to auto-completion or context-relevant documentation.

You can also copy-paste any object in the notebook. I don't know if this is directly useful, but the copy-paste includes any plot, image, formula, output, etc. The experience is similar to MS Office, where you can similarly copy-paste any image, table, text, or combination of these. With something like Sympy, you would need to use some function to serialise an object (like a formula) to code.

Finally, comparison to Sagemath: Everything in Sagemath seems half done. It ticks a lot of feature boxes, but the features seem incompletely implemented, even when compared to Sympy. By contrast, when Mathematica does something, it seems to be done in a more complete and usable way. The whole system seems consistent, somehow.

I think the argument of locality and linearity and cache hits is valid, but specific for one access pattern: reading items in order and adding to the tail. If that's what your code ends up doing most of the time, then an array wins over a linked list hands down.

As soon as you start adding or deleting items in the middle, the game changes because the data you need to move is not contained in the cache anymore (except for small arrays).

I can even imagine a workflow that uses both data structures: an app could build up a linked list with the data it reads from an external file, for example, where they can be scattered and not in order; when the file is finally closed, the data are considered read-only and rearranged into an array for the remaining part of the execution.

So don't dismiss linked lists as inefficient "a priori", which is exactly what antirez claims in the article.

This comment is just plain wrong.
Sure that's possible, but "untrusted oracles" are only useful if they provide easily-verified certificates. Some CAS problems are amenable to that approach, but not all. There's no difference in this case between Mma and, e.g. an external SAT/SMT solver.
