I think there’s probably a lot more to consider. Like the fact that Twitter is much older and likely has significant technical debt.

There’s also the fact that Twitter is in many ways an Ads and News platform. The comes with significant non-engineering overhead.
> We get that you hate C++.

You just can't stop can you? There's really zero need to say this other then trying to be an ass. I don't hate C++. I chose to write C++ as my day to day job after quite some time doing python because it's a challenge. There is no hate. But I have no loyalty to the language either. That is my way. No loyalty and therefore no bias. C++ is definitively less safe then python. This is fact and that is why I program in it.

I am also talking about type systems. Not just C++. However I AM using C++ as an example. It is flawed despite a stronger type system then python. The paradoxical dichotomy between the two languages is the quintessential example of my point. The type system is not essential to safety. It's an illusion. Types are simply sugar on top of it all because in essence you're just relying on error messages to resolve all the errors. Whether those errors happen at compile time or runtime aren't a big deal.

That is the point. I'm not waging a war against C++. I'm EXPLAINING to people like you who don't bother to read carefully or think carefully.

>But the topic here is type systems, and Rust's is more like C++'s than any other, and vice versa.

Categorically wrong. Rust's type system is derived from the Hindley Milner. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindley%E2%80%93Milner_type_sy.... Haskell is the the language famous for using this type system. In short Rust's type system comes from functional programming and C++'s type system is derived from OOP origins.

>but competition between compilers has improved them.

I use C++ everyday for my work. It may have improved but it's still overall horrible.

The asteroid is 16 Psyche, which is a 220-km-diameter M-type asteroid. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16_Psyche doesn't say what metals it's supposed to be comprised of, but rare-earth metals are not very likely and not suggested by the article. A more likely set of "rare metals" is platinum-group metals.

16 Psyche is 2.3e19 kg, according to WP, so 10 quintillion dollars works out to 43¢ per kg. It's pretty plausible that any kind of metal would be worth at least 43¢ per kg, it wouldn't even have to be very rare. Even steel is worth abut that much. If you're going to use it on Earth you'd be better off mining iron ore on Earth, but you can't do that with platinum-group metals, and if you want to use steel for construction in space, it's a huge advantage if it's already there instead of having to be lifted out of a gravity well.

> their consumer electronics

Good point. Smartphones have obviated most of Sony’s past dominance (cassette/VCR players, portable radios, Walkmans, etc).

However, I still don’t think it’s fair to call it a ‘shadow’ of its former self—Sony has just divested into different areas of consumer electronics.
I’d wager your chances of a break in via lock picking are higher than 8% if the lock on your house is vulnerable to raking.
Sure, it's clever enough to swap identifiers correctly, but the shape of the code and techniques it uses were familiar to me from elsewhere, at times.

It's not unlike copying code from stack overflow and swapping the identifiers around.
I don't think their point is that the situations are completely equitable but rather that your logic of "it is legal and therefore not abuse" is clearly not the case, as their scenario is abusive and likely legal.
I think that this can sometimes be the case, but I think it's mostly due to a couple of factors that end up making this sort of analysis not very useful at a smaller timescale. First, tasks that end up requiring a large number of lines of code changes (e.g. a large new feature or a giant refactor) will be more likely to be done by people on the team who are the most experienced and successful, whereas smaller scoped tasks tend to be assigned to junior engineers or new team members. This makes the association between lines of code and productivity for an individual engineer a bit circular; if you're the one assigning tasks as their manager, the engineers you think are more productive will be assigned the larger scoped tasks, so of course they'll have more lines of code. The other factor is that summing up changes over a long period of time pretty much by definition ends up being biased towards people who have been on the team longer; even if two engineers made the same number of per unit of time, the one who will has been on the team longer will obviously been the one who has made more changes, and that's not even taking into account the fact that people's productivity should ideally increase over time given the increased familiarity with the codebase, the tooling, the problem domain, etc. If the longest tenured team members are the most productive, you'd expect them to have the most changed lines of code based on that correlation alone.
To get a sense of it, just visit the opposite hemisphere (edit: on Earth).
As a noob on this subject, I have found the following two books very helpful for understanding ANNs;

1) Neural Networks for Applied Sciences and Engineering: From Fundamentals to Complex Pattern Recognition by Sandhya Samarasinghe. - A very nice, intuitive and comprehensible book with lots of illustrations.

2) Practical Neural Network Recipes in C++ by Timothy Masters - A old classic with step-by-step code you can follow.

I don’t mind Go’s error handling a single bit. Reducing 3 lines to 1 line is hardly a win because people will still complain that their code looks bloated. I’m not against more concise error handling I just don’t like any of the current solutions, and the status quo may still be the best.

at its core twitter is ad delivery + a timeline of followers/curated recommendations

you can make a twitter clone front + back in a night from scratch

they already have the hard “scale” to handle lots of traffic in a stable/fast manner done

how many employees and managers do you need to maintain this + add new features? 7,000 seems pretty high. 3,000 sounds kind of high too but i don’t know the split between departments like legal, HR, etc.
> So I don't think you need to worry about being left behind or that your skills are stagnating if you're not directly developing ML models.

Aren't ML models kind of the front lines these days? If I'm understanding correctly, it's the models, the training techniques, the curation of data sets-- These are the things that will inform the next generation of products and services.

I agree that there's more to it that just letting ML models loose, but it certainly seems like the core of it.

> C++ and Java exceptions have non-local flow and it's hard to determine what function can throw what, so if you do want to add error handling cases you would have to inspect every function to know if it throws or not

In general I agree with you, but Rust is already having this problem by people making liberal use of unwrap.

But that also isn't day-to-day operations.
It does seem like this is basically what they are doing. The messages employees received did not include the actual paperwork, which the messages say will come in about a week. It could be interpreted as a strategy to "terminate" aggressively but with the option to walk it back a bit if the place falls apart within the week. It's a clever-sounding approach on paper. But there is a human element when dealing with people's livelihoods that might not have been sufficiently considered.
Advertising on Twitter was not really efficient anyway.

> So you’re suggesting Elon abused these employees privately

No, I didn't. It seems pretty clear that you think his public behavior was AOK. Many people, including me and the person you originally responded to, think Musk has little regard about the effect his behavior has on his new employees.

Most people consider getting laid off to be a significant disruption to their lives: their finances, their reputation, and often their mental health. Doing that to 3700 people (or whatever) and then a day later saying, "So do you want to work here or not?" doesn't cancel out what happened a day or two before. Do you understand the old phrase, "you can't unring the bell"?
Okay friends, the reason why Go’s errors are good as-is is because you actually have to think about them. That is a feature. If you stop thinking about them and live in happy-path land forever, you will forget that bad things can (and often do) happen during the execution of your code. Even if you just return the error up the call stack, you’re still making a decision about it. You have an opportunity to examine the error at that point and even wrap it with additional context based on what you know at that point in the call stack. The exceptional path of the code is constantly maintained instead of handed to a runtime with the hopes it will do the right thing (particularly with things like retries).
So what's missing is conditional branch to a runtime-computed address.

This is meaningless if you don't trust the site admins, and the reason to use e2ee in the first place is to avoid trusting the site admins. All it takes is for them to serve you different JavaScript one time that exfiltrates your messages, and I guarantee you'll never notice.
You can distribute the software and still not publish it. The source just has to be available to who you distribute the binaries to. It could be the case that your community is non technical and don't care about the source code. It could be the case that having the changes is "cool" and leaking them to be public wouldn't make it cool anymore and could get them kicked out or shamed.
> I think the effect is much smaller for established companies that aren’t expecting big changes or growth rates.

Yeah, no big changes happening at Twitter currently. Everything stable and normal.

And since this lock is a joke, having one is a nice little advertisement.
You go to a bank and tell it "I would like to buy this company. It has assets worth $N, which could be put up as collateral for a loan of $(.60 x N)." The bank says "Yes, those assets are worth that much. We will sign a contract with you where we will give you $(.60 x N) and in return, once you successfully purchase the company and it is your property, those assets will act as collateral for that loan."

You take the loan (and probably some other money, since by definition the loan is less than the total value of the company's assets), and you go buy the company. You now own the company, therefore you own the assets, therefore you can use them as collateral, and so: the debt that was yours is now on the company's books. You bought out the company with extra leverage provided by the assets you were acquiring: leveraged buyout.

It tends to fail; LBOs tend to target companies that are struggling somehow, and loading an already-struggling company with a shit load of debt frequently results in a bankruptcy. You're probably familiar with companies that dies this way. (My favorite example for fellow millennials is Toys'R'Us.) If you find this troubling: you are correct. But you have forgotten the really important thing: you (or, in most LBOs, a bunch of private equity ghouls) have gotten very wealthy killing a company, and isn't that reward enough?

What's with the delusional arrogance of continuing to lean into deprecated past performance when data on present outcomes and future outlook is readily accessible? No one making informed, meaningful decisions today gives a shit about last year's Intel and AMD!

From Intel's latest Q3 press release[1], management is guiding towards $63-64B revenue to close FY22, representing -20% decline YoY.

In contrast, from AMD's latest Q3 press release[2], management is guiding towards $23.2-23.8B revenue to close FY22, representing +43% growth YoY.

Underneath the hood, Intel's two biggest segments by huge margin are going down faster than a whore spreading herpes:

- Client Computing segment revenue is down -17.0% QoQ, -18.5% YoY; segment operating income is down -53.9% QoQ, -53.3% YoY.

- Datacenter and AI segment revenue is down -27.2% QoQ, -16.3% YoY; segment operating income is down -99.3% QoQ, -68.5% YoY.

- This quarter, Intel spun off their Mobileye segment and is expected to hold ~94% of MBLY common stock upon IPO. For Q3, this segment's revenue was up +38.0% QoQ, +26.6% YoY; segment operating income was up +11.8% QoQ, +11.4% YoY...we won't be seeing this segment soften Intel's top line decline moving forward.

- Management has made it abundantly clear that they're trying to cauterize deep operating wounds now and over the next few years: "The company is focused on driving $3 billion in cost reductions in 2023, growing to $8 billion to $10 billion in annualized cost reductions and efficiency gains by the end of 2025."

- Next year, Intel will burn ~$5.4B acquiring Tower Semi to advance their IDM 2.0 vision[3]. Prevailing macroeconomic headwinds today and throughout at least the end of next year strongly suggests this will weigh a lot more unfavorably on Intel's balance sheet moving forward given the implied cost of capital went from cheap in February 2022 when the acquisition intent was announced to sky-fucking-high today trending to the moon based on what the futures market has already priced in.

It's funny how companies can become their own worst enemy, which Microsoft has been since it acquired Github. Github itself recommends that you use the GPL license (see the Github-run https://choosealicense.com/). This has likely led to many projects choosing GPL/BSD/Apache/MIT by default, simply because the author didn't understand the differences between them. I've found that often, once people take the time to educate themselves about the various licenses, they instead prefer a highly-permissive license like The Unlicense (https://unlicense.org/).

I don't think woke is the most lucrative demographic to serve ads to, but advertisers who buy ads on Twitter are likely selecting for Twitter. That is to say, Musk is destroying the Twitter branding, and so the advertisers that went to Twitter for its branding are now leaving.

Does this mean that “woke” people are people that work hard and have money to spend, while the non “woke” dont? What does this say about the “non woke” crowd?

What is even woke?

Am i “woke” because i don't want to buy products advertised on a platform where people are insulted on a daily basis due race, gender or sexual orientation and i want people to freely express their personality without risk of verbal or written injury?
