> I think Twitter can continue to operate and even be profitable

Im curious to hear more on this, in my mind the biggest problem with adding a new product offering would be diluting the text based content which may drive people to more “entertaining / TikTok” content than text content, I think one reason Twitter works as the public square is _because_ text is low effort for celebs/politicians/journalists/etc. Hard to imagine journalists driving as much traffic to their articles over video, especially if you go the Instagram route of starting to prioritize video over classic format (text/images) Again twitter as public square, not Twitter as some yet to be defined TikTok rival)
I had two TVs(47", not that large) for like 10 years, but rarely anyone in the house ever used them, everyone stares at their smaller screen these days somehow.
I agree with your conclusion about aggressive social dynamics of public schools add nothing to child's development, and I base my opinion on my own experiences. I pretty much hated school - not for what I was meant to learn there but because of the aggression. That's main reason I put my kids through montessori, to spare them that experience I had to go through, and which contributed nothing to my development.
The Nissan Leaf is about a close as you can get on a chassis built for ICEVs. It uses a platform shared with the Versa and several other Nissans. The electric motor and related electronics and service components (like air conditioner) are where the ICE engine would be and the area under the back seat and luggage area are filled with batteries. I believe it can get up to 150 mile range.
That's really cool. (The paper uses the palidrome example to try to demonstrate how a Turing machine might be encoded in an ELIZA script.)
ELIZA scripts must begin with some opening remarks, e.g. (HELLO. PLEASE TELL ME YOUR PROBLEM), and they must have a MEMORY rule, e.g. (MEMORY PALIN (0 = 1) (0 = 1) (0 = 1) (0 = 1)).
>and the fact that Wall St. will cry and have a meltdown if the apple cart is flipped

Does Wall St include people directly invested in equity and debt markets via 401k/IRA/defined benefit (DB) pensions/etc and indirectly via being taxpayers of jurisdictions that have taken on those DB pension liabilities?

I love WSL because it makes Windows just as nice to use for development as Linux / macOS. No weird janky "this is buggy on Windows" stuff, because as far as the app is concerned it's just a Linux VM.
Disagree on #3. Social & collaborative features are the bane of my existence. No I don't want to share all my scraps of information, no I don't want to let my friends know what I'm listening to, no, I don't want to publish product purchases I make to twitter.

I think a better #3 would be: decide whether your audience is individuals or businesses, then build for that.
It’s a spam machine. That’s all it is. That’s all it will ever be.

I get why it’s fun to make a system like this, but does it really never occur to anyone that no human wants to read AI generated copy?
yeah but sometimes its useful to use a flat earth model when for instance the ground youre going to build something like a shed on is relatively flat. in the big picture sense i agree but in different contexts an alternative abstract model can suffice and actually be more efficient if the aim is to build the shed in this case
What? Lua has breaking changes every release.
People will tell you only lonely people think that way, but I think office socialization is a different kind of thing. At the office you meet and chat with people of all ages and different types. When you're with friends, you're probably hanging with a bunch of people more like yourself.

Voice still has a lot of potential, especially with the advances in AI that we've been seeing recently. A robust voice-controlled interface would be immensely useful to consumers. I think the investment in Alexa voice is well worth it compared to whatever meta is doing atm.
The real problem with this recession is that businesses are being asked to reduce prices by increasing supply - but paradoxically, the cost of increasing supply is higher because of interest rates.

Just reducing demand with a recession doesn't reduce the price of goods automatically. For CPI to go down, someone on the supply side has to accept lower prices. Who is going to accept it? Only the most desperate of producers, and only if the owners of businesses want to continue that business. Paradoxically, if owners don't want a low margin business, they'll just shut them down causing even more shortage.

One solution appears to be a deep recession that wipes everyone out and then another low interest rate cycle to start the business cycle again. But this will be very very painful and unpopular.

Another solution appears to be for governments to incentivize increase in production. But this can't be a monetary incentive since that will cause even more inflation.

A third solution is to export inflation to developing countries. Just import a lot more from other countries at lower prices so that CPI remains low. But without Chinese manufacturing, where is this going to go?
Filesystem things are faster in WSL+Docker than native Windows for me. At least npm stuff. I'd rather skip the hassle of VM, and why use a remote Docker host? And same with MinGW. I like being able to just do stuff out of the box as if it was an Ubuntu install. Much more ergonomic, and can just follow whatever official guide for the tool I'm trying to use, without depending on someone making it possible to use in MinGW/MSYS.

So I kinda disagree, for all things you mention I prefer WSL.
People _are_ influenced by this type of behavior indeed. Just look around how many people overestimate how much of e.g. Visual Studio Code is open.

Fair, "at large" is a bit extreme. This is a spectrum. But psychology appears to be far worse than the others, even reading from this paper. I'm a lawyer, and even law isn't this bad. "Symptoms are unobservable?"
What I see with Elon at Twitter is classic attempt at disruption. This is often characterized by somewhat naively asking questions like “Why do we need to bother with x” or “Why can’t we just do y.” Invariably, some portion of the ideas and shortcuts are failures, revealing that “we have to do x because” or “we can’t just do y because.”

The question here is, can Elon find enough shortcuts and ideas that work and recover sufficiently from failures for the ones that don’t?

I think it’s still up in the air, but it does seem like a challenge with the current financial obligation. Elon understands the product a lot better than a lot of ‘classic’ CEOs might, but the kind of close calls Elon admits Tesla had won’t eternally be in his favor.

Because brands are purposely creating ads that customers can't discern. It's a cat/mouse thing just like IT security - sec people find a new way to secure their tech, hackers find a way around it, sec patch that, hackers find a new exploit etc.

With ads, brands find a new strategy to disguise ads, consumers get used to it and learn to recognize them/be aware of them, brands find a new strategy. The lease discerning X percentage of people will always be unaware of the more sophisticated ads, the most discerning X percentage will always be aware.

I think it's bad for human psychology, almost by definition, to have all these corporations/entities bombarding your senses with content designed to influence you in a specific way that is beneficial to them / not beneficial to the people. Without regulation/disincentives they corporations will be driven by their profit motive to use any means to get you to by their products and the consequences are horrible for the population, especially when it's so many thousands of companies all fighting for pieces of your psyche with no regard to it's wellbeing.

I also really don't regulation in concept, and in practice it's often at largely ineffective(not always though / it's not INHERENTLY that way). This is one of many problems with capitalism / free market that are often waved away by pointing out the problems with the alternatives to capitalism, which are often also fair criticisms. It's an extremely hard problem, finding a system that minimizes the consequences to catastrophic levels(let alone the difficulties of implementing a new system).

Sacrifice of wellbeing in some ways might just be a necessary tradeoff for any system that leads to "progress" - a possibility I've considered but can't really grasp yet(would love anyones input on this). I know I've gotten a bit off topic but I think advertising and it's consequences are a very clear example of this kind of tradeoff which makes it a useful topic for discussing this kind of thing. In theory it's possible to imagine a system that allows for progress but in reality any non-free market system requires concentrated power somewhere to enforce regulations which seems gives the possibility of corruption, and it seems the possibility of corruption at scale always leads to corruption
I agree telnet can be used as a "client" for a different protocol, but for other means, its not a good solution.

Similar to my uni project to make a concurrent server. Most people struggled to make it work with Java, and there were extra points for implementation of the project in C. So I did. Pthreads, zero deadlocks and zero memory leaks.

I don't envy the remaining folks at Twitter at all.

Imagine employees getting this survey and thinking I want to get out but what if this is trap? By opting for leaving I would be outing myself as not 'hardcore'.

Mr. Musk gets a database of self declared 'disengaged' employees. He chooses to scrap the offer (there is no legal binding) and then over next few months pressures them to quit without any severance.

Nightmare!

"softcore FP" is a great way to put it.

> freelance - compared to just working rates seem low and its hard to find work from what ive seen

Freelancing money can be very, very good. It does take work to find jobs initially, but often at a certain point your referrals start kicking in, and you've got to increase your rate because you've got too much work. Not that it's easy, but it's a good racket, and during economies in which companies may not have budget approval to hire salaried employees, it's probably not a bad option to consider.
Perhaps the emergency communication with satellites is a handshake, and the "test" mode for the beacons simply doesn't complete the handshake?

> So during those 40 hours, let's say a person delivers 100 work units. If we were to say, from now on you only have to work 32 hours, some people will still deliver 100 work units, but many will deliver an approximation to 80 work units. Many people will automatically adjust. People have a "pace of work" that is like breathing.

Perhaps in manual labor, but I don't think this applies to white collar work. The limiting factor in output for this line of work seems to be intellectual exhaustion/burnout, not pacing.

Good example of this from the article: "alcohol use disorder (formerly called alcoholism)"
The reason you think that it is a crime is that you associate legality with morality. However there are deeply cruel and immoral things occurring entirely within the established "system" (as there have been all throughout human history), so that's a very poor compass indeed.
That's a program name that I haven't heard in a while and which brings back memories :D

When I was a teenager, sometimes around 1996 or 1997, I watched the movie "Hackers" for the first time and my immature mind was immediately drawn to the idea of using computers to sneak into places you weren't supposed to. (The pretty graphics helped too.) I went online and I found an early version of John The Ripper and thought "yes, this is exactly what I want!" It would be a few years before I even learned what Unix and /etc/passwd were, but it felt so cool to have a real hacking tool on a floppy disk.
Poking fun at what other people choose to hold important is childish, imo.

Because, ultimately what people choose to value is subjective, and there’s no right or wrong.

Put another way, what you perceive as valuable is equally hilarious from many others’ valid perspectives.

As long as they’re not hurting anyone, people are free to choose their own adventure.

I worked as a web dev for 5 years first, and those skills transferred well into the marketing and API part of the apps.

For example my Lunar app even has a CLI that is implemented as client-server and the app also provides an API for controlling displays remotely or through a Raspberry Pi server. That would have been very hard had I not known how to write an API.

Most people in monetary policy circles (and virtually everyone with a role in setting monetary policy) think of the money supply as a parameter that can be adjusted pretty freely rather than a fixed resource you need to be careful with. To them, pointing to the money supply as a cause of inflation is like pointing to the water supply as a cause of why your house is flooded. It's not false, but it doesn't mean that you should eliminate your flood risk by tearing the pipes out of your walls and satisfying all your water needs with buckets from the local well.
You can run i3 via WSL if you use an alternate X server like X410 or vcxsrv instead of the built-in wayland RDP bridge thing. vcxsrv is a bit nicer, since it lets you run the X display in fullscreen mode.

> The Fed being afraid to do whats necessary

What are you referring to here?

I understand the Fed can only raise rates and stop buying things. Rates are going up and they're reducing their balance sheets. I'd like them to stop backing mortgages completely but I don't think that's what they want to do anyway.
If HN flags can put you in a jail cell, then the 6th Amendment would be relevant.
Acknowledging one of these is much more politically palatable to the elites than the other. If the economy suffers a bit, well that's just because we cut off a world-leading supplier of fuels, food, and industrially-important metals, not because we've been fucking over the rest of you for own profit over and over and over again. Reality is, both are true to greater and lesser extents depending on who and where you are. Economy is complex, the global geopolitical situation is undergoing a major shift, probably nothing will be clear without 100 years of hindsight.
Nice! Thank you!

I have to admit WSL is hands down the single most amazing addtion that Microsoft has implemented into Windows since giving us 64 bit.

I could totally still use Windows XP, but not without WSL
I love how we still read about predictions from few people on such a complex thing. How often economist or experts were be able to predict future accurately? not often.
On localhost it's available by default on Windows side. If you'd like to access it by your machine's IP from a different machine on the LAN, you just need to run a single command to add a proxy for it.

netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenport=8001 listenaddress=0.0.0.0 connectport=8001 connectaddress=172.24.75.111

where connectaddress is whatever you get from running ifconfig on wsl side. Edit: Might also use localhost instead of IP as the connectaddress, as the IP might change. Depends on what your server software handles of bindings.

Depending on your machine configuration, you might need to open the port in your firewall as well, ala

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Allowing connections on 8001" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=8001
Hashcat is unbelievable!

On a lark, I tried to crack my own WPA key for my local network. Captured the handshake, downloaded some wordlists, started it. I have an older CPU and graphics card, i7 4930k + GTX 1060.

Some regular CPU based method, I ran the numbers and figured it would take a bit over a week. Ran it for a day, and then decided to see if something better was available.

Read about Hashcat, gave it a go, and it finished in 90 minutes. At first, I thought I made a mistake and it crapped out, but nope! It cracked it. It was done. 90 minutes on modest hardware. Imagine if you invested some real money in it with a modern system!
Kraken does at least. AIUI their auditor is given a snapshot of all account balances at a particular point in time, and builds a merkle tree. You can then reconstruct your expected merkle leaf and verify that your specific account was included in the tree. You can verify on the auditor's website, or you can do it by hand. Kraken's help page even has code snippets in Python/Go/etc to make it easy!

> As most Montessori schools are private, my impression is that the variance in the quality of Montessori implementation varies considerably

Having gone to a different kind of "alternative" school (Waldorf / Steiner), I agree 100%.

Variance in quality among teachers was pretty high, higher than my children's public schools.

Sadly my school was also used a bit as dumping ground for children who failed in the public school system, so at least in the later classes most of the newer students were below-average in performance, making progress slower and classes more boring.

Switching from an "alternative" to a public school (after 9 years for me) was a pretty big culture shock.

Linguist here. In one sense yes, but there are many other senses, also maybe in one language the cases are regular but in the other they aren't. There is complexity from phonetics/phonology to pragmatics, and all languages distribute it differently. Basque cases for example are very regular, like Turkish or Hungarian, but Russian or Icelandic cases are less regular. So it's actually easier to pick up Basque at least the morphology than it is to pick up Russian or Icelandic.
Not really. It's been done time and time again. Never underestimate the number of stupid people out there, desperate to break even with inflation somehow while their banks pay them negative interest rates.
