TL;DR: "I used to be on Twitter and now I'm trying to force Mastodon into being Twitter, ignoring what Mastodon actually is and why it was built, and now I'm upset because it didn't work".

Mastodon doesn't need to scale like Twitter, the point of Mastodon is many instances, not a single giant one. Sounds like Mastodon is not for you. Good, you can leave now. Mastodon's mission is not, and never has been, replacing Twitter.
That's a damn good book and course, from what I've read and taken of it. I'd like to go back and complete it to refresh some knowledge and learn a lot of new things.

I have to wonder how interest can be affected by some conditions. For example, specific interests are frequently described as a trait of autism spectrum disorders. However, the idea that some types of people express interest in different ways could be hard to swallow, especially if genetics are involved.
> the phone numbers without the name and other information cannot be weaponized.

On the contrary - they can and routinely are.

Speculative case:

The space of valid phone numbers is small, the total number of subscribers is peanuts for automation, and bulk calling is cheap. As a result, it's affordable in some cases to just literally call every single number (prefiltered through one of the marketer databases of numbers belonging to real people) and try the scam - people who aren't in your target group will only get confused for a second, and write it off as usual robocall, while those in your target group will either fall for it, or otherwise identify themselves by recognizing the context.

Or at least that's what I believe is happening, based on calls I occasionally get, trying to "give" or sell me some crap from a product/service category I never cared about, available in a city on the other side of the country.

BTW. This is what's constantly happening in the e-mail space. I get tons of messages that attempt to phish people by hoping a percentage of recipients will happen to be customers of a specific company, or awaiting a package from a specific delivery company on a specific day. I personally had a close call with a phish about OneDrive data deletion that hit my company inbox on the very next day after the company migrated my data across corporate systems - by pure chance, the message looked almost perfectly legitimate, for me, on that day.

Common case:

The usual plausible deniability defense of legal scammers (telemarketers) is, "this number was randomly generated by our system", which is both technically plausible and obviously bullshit. However, being on a receiving end, I have neither time nor means to prove they got it from a database.

In what? I'm not sure I'd value private RSUs in current-Twitter _particularly_ highly, myself.
Odd coincidence, but I just learned about the accident this weekend, going down a wikipedia rabbit hole (as one does)
Category theory is not replacing set theory. It's also not the case that entirely different math comes from each. Both can be defined in terms of each other to a large degree. It's probably better to think of them complementing each other. You might find the following thread interesting to read: https://mathoverflow.net/questions/360578/category-theory-an...
It is a ton of miles for the period of time, because it's an average including all stops. If something breaks, you lose time. If you get sick, you lose time. If you get saddle sores, you lose time. Doing that many miles without a serious injury that sidelines you for weeks is a skill in itself.

Many people, with at most a month of practice, could survive riding 40-100 miles in a day, but many of them would be so worn out or would injure some sort of muscle such that they couldn't do 2 in a row - much less 200.

Citation: I've done a variety of 200-400 mile community group rides and seen people in all sorts of shape, but have done it enough times with enough different people to see a diverse number of outcomes.

Remember, programs are proofs of themselves, but that doesn't mean they provably do what you thought they did.
Isn't being an entrepreneur an individualistic activity that's incompatible with collective solutions?
Except many are tradable on a market, just like securities and other assets.

Also; stock in private companies is often not tradeable at all, but no accountant is going to call those fake.

There are multiple ways of plausibly pricing assets.

None are generally accepted that would let someone just make up a ridiculous valuation and stand up to any scrutiny, but people can always do what they want until the auditors show up anyway.
Fidelity has the option to pay like $50/month but their UI is clear that isn’t the full amount.

That's an interesting observation and I agree with you (I'm a first-wave crypto advocate myself).

I've said this before here on HN, but I think crypto exchanges should require new customers to pass a relatively strict test about crypto, investment and trading basics before they could start operating with cryptocurrencies or other such trading products.

I think crypto exchanges are an ideal platform to do this because they're usually the onboarding ramp for most new crypto users, especially the ones losing massive amounts of money recently.

I believe this would be in the best interest of the whole crypto industry and could be a massive improvement in the reputation and usage of crypto in the long term, even if it could have some detrimental effects in the short run (due to being an entry barrier for new users).

Because it's obvious to anyone not asleep at the wheel that many new crypto users do not know what they're getting into, or rather, all the risks that they are undertaking when they get their money into crypto exchanges, cryptocurrencies and/or crypto-related... thingies.
Much of the controversy around this stems from the fact that he said the "app" is doing RPCs instead of the endpoints which it calls, that in turn assemble the instructions to render the timeline?

Seems like many are going out of the way to frame it as nonsense.

It's dubious that this only affects some countries. Is it likely that there are some extra pieces of logic for some parts of the world and not others? My guess is yes, although it seems unlikely that the impact would be so high.

As for this specific issue only affecting Android - that was never the claim. Instead he asked an entirely separate question about Android performance to this developer who replied to the tweet with the original claim.

Overall, aside from this specific incident - his attitude towards the way the company way being run is extremely hostile, and has naturally upset a lot of folks at the company who were happy with what they were doing.

Personally, my view would be that if this happens and it bothers someone a lot, the honorable thing to do is to quit or sit back and watch the company fall apart and own their bet that the new direction will be a disaster.

If one is not on board with the vision and direction of the company from new leadership, quit instead of getting in the way.

Actively sabotaging the company's new direction is not only immoral but also reflects a mean-spirited attitude towards one's fellow co-workers who don't share that view. I have seen tweets from current employees calling their fellow team members bootlickers, etc. which I find to be quite vile.

Seems like some folks are likening the whole thing to a Cardassian occupation.
Sorry, but how can you possibly see his behavior and think the simpler explanation is that Musk knows anything about what he's talking about at this point as it concerns Twitter? Just because he owns it means nothing in this case - especially since he's avoided even discussing his misguided opinions with his employees?

The simpler explanation here is that he's embarrassed for making a stupid impulse purchase and now he's lashing out.
I miss when phones were ambitiously diverse. It never felt like all the flipping, flopping, and twisting ever solved anything, but it was exciting.

In 2007, Apple perfected the smartphone, thus killing off anything with a pen or a handle bar.

I can’t say I miss 1000 different incompatible Java powered tamagotchi looking things having their own calculator, calendar, browser etc. But in solving that, resulting in these 5 inch black slabs, there’s really nothing to talk about these days in the phone world.

Oh wow faster, bigger storage, sharper camera woop de do!

That just means we need to put that creativity somewhere else.

Thank you for that reference! I'm definitely going to check it out.

If you are able and want to, are you able to elaborate on how you changed the trajectory of your career? I'm a software engineer who was originally wanting to be a mathematician, so I've always been wanting to get back to something a bit more analytical and quantitative.
It's funny when Elon companies are successful people say it was never him it was the engineers, and then when his companies are having trouble then it's not the engineers, it's him.

The fact is it's a team. Twitter has more than enough runway to get through this transition and turn things around. It's up to the team to execute effectively.

Fair enough, I'm not versed on the legal in's and out's and it appears you're correct.

I knew Twitter sought to close the deal, but most of the analysis I read claimed they could have chosen the $1B instead, as if both were viable legal paths. It appears that is incorrect.
> On the other hand, I've not seen a rigorous set of axioms for category theory that didn't presuppose a notion of set or category or "collection".

I'm no expert, but I do want to point out that you'll never see a set of axioms for set theory that doesn't also presuppose some realm from which sets themselves are drawn. The question is not whether sets exist; it's whether the collection of them can be represented within the theory. It is well-known (in certain circles...) that the realm of all sets cannot itself be described by a set.

In the same way, category theory may assume the existence of collections of objects and arrows, but these collections are not themselves represented within category theory. The category of all categories encounters exactly the same size issues as does the set of all sets.

There are different ways around these size issues. I think a lot of people go with something like Russell's stratified hierarchy of universes -- but this is also done in set theory, like with the alternative to ZFC based on sets and classes. (But what is the class of all classes!? You just keep building bigger universes.)

I’m fascinated that the service architecture ecosystem seems so fixated with polarity.

The right answer is pretty much always medium sized services and medium sized repos. I guess that isn’t edgy enough to make people feel like they are doing something cool
Snarky answer:

- Whatever non-synthetic petroleum products are in the garage
- A mid-2013 MacBook Air (at least according to its manufacturer)

Serious Answer:

- A bakelite safety razor from the WWII rationing era (somewhere between 1941 & 1945, given what I can find on the manufacturer)
- Some broken pieces of pottery my grandfather swiped from ancient Jericho on a trip in the '60s
- A vintage Canon SLR camera used on the same trip

It's really a sad thing that Elon Musk won that lawsuit.
I was aware that Twitter went to court to complete the deal, but I admit to being misinformed as much of the analysis I read stated both avenues ($1B fee or force the acquisition) were viable.

For example, Dan Ives, who is often quoted in articles about this deal, had this to tweet: https://twitter.com/DivesTech/status/1545527442491822089?s=2...

It appears that is incorrect.

I'm generally fine with Mastodon's approach. But from the inception of the internet, I've seen lots of community manager who took their moderation work mostly as their hobby. Then the community grew quickly for some reason, moderation became nearly unsustainable. A few of them were able to scale out their moderation framework but most of them just decided to sacrifice their personal life to the end, eventually burnt out then abandon their child. I wonder if the Mastodon community found a structural solution to handle this kind of issue.
When thinking about cache, instead of thinking about cache misses directly and thinking about time based optimization trying to improve the temporal locality, it is often easier and more fruitful to consider "working set size" - how much memory the code / loop / function / algorithm is touching at a time.

I had no idea how asymmetrical naval production was in the Pacific theater of WWII until I watched this:

With these numbers the relative merits of the actual warfighters had little effect on the outcome. The war with Japan was won in U.S. shipyards.
A sharp punch (like a center punch prior to drilling). It is pushed in with a certain force and the mask mesh can only spread so much; there is a groove on the neck of the punch that defines the depth limit. You do this on a few areas of the mask then date the side of the mask to indicate it was tested.
How about various forms of IP? They're just intangible rights. They give you a certain monopoly, which is one (admittedly odd perhaps) way of describing a cryptocurrency (or anything encrypted when only you have the key).

The fundamentals for your ponzi coins are so bad they might as well be worth zero, so why would that insignificant value difference matter anyway?
I was going to say. It's Common Lisp, btw.
We had to meet a similar requirement and used hardware anchoring.

Instead of a hash, think of a keyed HMAC style operation where the HMAC secret is inside an HSM. HSM operations are handled by a separate team than webapp. Key is not extractable.

It is not vulnerable to brute-force in the same way as a hash because the function cannot be executed outside your computing environment. Of course an attacker can still try to brute-force, but only using the app or from inside your environment.

So you have to apply appropriate rate limiting controls and monitoring on your "boat anchor" HSM for it all to work out.

For this application I would probably look for "proof of ownership" of the number or email before allowing a query.

Getting very muscular will earn you all sorts of judgements, that’s humanity. It certainly will reduce attraction from women most stages of life as it’s a stronger indicator of insecurity and low self confidence more than it’s an indicator of physical fitness / competence. If you add in this sort of touchy and sensitive reactionary attitude it will only worsen that.

Most important thing in life is to do things out of genuine interest and do them with confidence. Know the prejudices and know they exist for good reason so you can laugh at them, rather than running around trying to ref the world.

We’re just going over anecdotes and learned experience about the reality of physical exertion taxing total mental energy. You got very sensitive about it for some reason and are demanding data but no one said anything about data just lived experience (more valuable than data anytime it comes from someone experienced - I trust a single person who ate at every taco stand in LAs review way, way more than the average of every review on Yelp).

No one will feel sorry about “prejudice” against fit people, it’s like complaining about prejudice against rich people. If you don’t get why those exist and are valid then the world will rag on you (rightly) for being naive, it’s first-world-problemism at its finest.
