> A living cow, pig, or sheep entered the killing floor on top of the slaughterhouse and met with a sledgehammer or captive-bolt, and descended each floor in bits of appreciating value, i.e., eventually exiting the bottom floor as packaged bacon or a side of ribs.

regarding the bacon - is that really correct? I thought bacon-making was a longer, more involved process that would probably have been done off-site (brining,curing,smoking,etc).
Also, you know, 2019-2022.
Not sure to be honest. Either one of the largest EMSP in Europe, or the largest Food ordering service in Asia, or the small social media site.

What does that have to do with my points?
Just amazing all these pearl-clutching progressives having their minds break because of nothing other than Elon buying it. Every single tech company of note, every major media outlet not named Fox, every university, all controlled by liberals and just one gets bought by someone who's not even really conservative just more like outwardly anti-woke and these people can't handle it and throw temper tantrums without even being able to articulate why. Hysterical.
That is a good story. My shed is in the corner of the yard. I physically walk my backup drive back and forth once a week and keep it in a box unconnected to any electrical. Call me a cheapskate, but I don't mind.
The second part of your post _is_ my point. It might be good for news media to run their own instance, but not so good for their employees to use it
Yes.

I don't think pace is slow. I am actually surprised how fast it is going. Code review is a good practice, and I think Rust patches are being reviewed nearly as fast as possible.
I don't think it's just a fashion thing. There is a real outcome of this: the music is simpler and less interesting. Modulation isn't the only missing ingredient, though. Quantization and click tracks and pitch-correction and sampling have all combined to reduce the variation in songs.

Part of it is driven by the need to make production cheaper (since music is less profitable now), so it's hard to say if it will come back.
Agreed. While it's possible with some straining and twisting to make the case that Twitter represents an idealistic change for a better future, it doesn't take any straining at all to see the incredible potential of electrified transport and easy access to space.

Also, with some straining and twisting, it's possible to make a case for Twitter changing the future (and present) for the worse. That's much harder to do with the other companies.
I can't agree with that. They are certainly not janky compared to the Leaf or Bolt and up until fairly recently the 3 was price competitive with the Bolt.

Beyond that, comparisons get more complicated, but there are still perks to the 3/Y. For example, the Ioniq 5 and EV6 charge faster but have less real world range at highway speeds. In practice, this negates most of their charging advantage.

If you want the best EV sedan for road tripping in the US right now, there is nothing lower price and also better than the 3 LR.
The local regulation is to parter with a Chinese company to operate the service. Giving that company a substantial percentage of revenue.
It's not the ToS that people don't like about those services. What makes social media sticky is the culture. If people like the culture of a social media platform then they stay. Very few people like the culture of Gab, Parler, Truth, etc...
No, I totally get that. Well, not balls shaving machines, that's between you and the algorithm, I get that ads are a fight for your attention. But that's just a regular tradeoff, nothing huge.
Interesting to see this perspective. I've always associated the focus on nuclear families with a tight-knit neighborhood, almost small-town vibe where everyone knows each other and, yes, are up in each other's business. The breaking of social cohesion I've associated with the more recent phenomenon of it becoming more common to leave one's community to go to school or for a new job.

I’m answering my own question, sort of. From HN this morning:

Isn't that just sliced pork belly? Also, personally, I think if you cook it like bacon its not good, just grey and not flavorful, I just eat traditional bacon infrequently.
It’s just a classification.

If you think that Mastodon cannot be bought and ruined by billionaires, you are wrong.

It's all too easy to imagine a (medium-term) future in which the largest Mastodon instance (or something highly compatible with it) will have more than half of the population of Mastodon in it, include advertisements in-feed, and make policy decisions that affect the rest of the Fediverse.

This is what got me and my friend into APL-likes. My friend even made an APL-like towards the end. I assert that APL is one of the main, definitional pillars of programming languages, the way Lisp and C and Prolog are. It is extraordinarily easy to build an APL with scalar and vector support -- once you start thinking about higher-dimensional data structures, though, it is the ergonomics and the design that become subtle and tricky. (Ivy, in particular, does some questionable things at with multi-dimensional matrices.) Also, if you think of APL operators as verbs, perhaps there should be adverbs that lift the verbs up into higher dimensions...

“Drugs are bad, mmkay” is something we teach kids at an age when they are unable to process more complex or nuanced positions.

It’s highly unlikely that you’ve never taken psychoactive substances—caffeine, for example, is found naturally in enough foods that it’s hard to avoid. Many spices produce psychoactive effects—e.g. vanilla, pepper, cinnamon, ginger, saffron, etc. I suspect it’s not your opinion that these are all bad as well.

Your kids at some point will be exposed to some of these things, and if “drugs are bad” is what you’re teaching them then they will understand, as we do, that your opinion on this subject really isn’t helpful.

I believe the fact that people cannot drive a car properly while hallucinating seems to be a bit of evidence of "superiority" of the sober mind over the intoxicated, at least in the real world.
Yea, the users are wrong. Mastodon is perfect.
Good point, I was primarily thinking about companies in general. You can issue private stock - it only gets issued to employees and investors, and sale is controlled. Though, not much point though if the company won't be going public some day.

I agree!! I think having APL be a embedded domain-specific language is the perfect fit. I don't want to give up record and union types when I'm programming something large; but some piece of the app I'm writing will want to perform vector math or compute order statistics, and for that there's nothing better than APL. Note that Python and numpy is shockingly close to this state of the world already: Python's the general language, and numpy is the beautiful vector escape hatch. If only Python and numpy were statically typed.
> I don't think it's wise to conclude from the fringe cutting through the x-axis that only shoddy research would claim unprocessed red meat has a health risk

You're right, but they don't claim that. The y-axis here is "relative risk." There's no such thing as "no risk" in these studies.

Practically speaking, of course, there is -- most of us live our lives with "low risk" = "no risk," necessarily.

The takeaway from this figure is exactly what's written in the article: "As shown in Fig. 4, the relationship between unprocessed red meat intake and combined-cause incidence and mortality was increasing across the entire exposure domain."
From my basic research into saturated fats, they are only really a problem if you are high in cholesterol and need to lower it.

I've checked my cholesterol levels and they are low, despite me being a fan of butter and red meat. If they ever became a problem I would cut out the saturated fats, but there seems to be little point in doing that preemptively.

The hard challenge of social media is how to keep the barbarians at bay.

People in general want to socialize and even put their opinion out their. What they don't want is to get death threats or be insulted for any minor opinion (or just for random stuff).

If it's a free for all the ugliest elements (which are currently moderated away on all major social media platforms) of society will scream the loudest and at all times and that turns off many people.

Advertisers don't want their brands associated with that and if I'm to pay 8€ a month I would expect that I am given tools to deal with that (without needing to flag a neverending streams of tweets).

If I'm making a business out of creating content there (or just want have a peaceful environment) I expect that I can also create a pleasant environment for my customers / friends / family. My money, my house rules.

This is not a trivial problem at all and I don't think Elon Musk is equipped to handle it well. If you ask me he is too thin skinned and caught up in his own greatness. The way he memes and engages with employees and (political) opponents in general does not bode well.

It's fair to ask users to pay instead of relying on advertisement but then you cannot (algorithmically and by default) force them to endure a waterfall of shit.
I am growing closer to being convinced that Rust is here to stay and will actually become the main systems programming language of the next few decades.
That's not true-- you can buy uncured bacon. It's simply "uncut pork belly" which many companies turn into bacon.

Some of those fired were contractors who worked as security guards stationed at Meta facilities and were given access to the Facebook parent’s internal mechanism for employees to help users having trouble with their accounts, according to the documents and people familiar with the matter.

In other words, they had/were given access to user accounts.
If you are bleeding a billion a year, you are not going to survive without drastic changes to culture, mission and focus. Making the engineering team nimble, hyper-focused and startup like is definitely a good solution. Pushing for revenue and profitability is great.

The lead-up to all this, the utter lack of any grace, the public spats with employees, users and advertisers have made the whole thing a toxic spectacle. The sycophant brigade is exacerbating the problem.

The product, engineering and services will bounceback / survive. (Remember the fail whales and the twittocalypse?). The cultural damage and toxic waste is going to be a tough one to clean up. I wouldn't have imagined a scenario where Meta looks relatively angelic compared to twitter.
This!

If a system has minimal operational burden, that means it was designed by people who cared deeply about it and worked diligently building it. Those characteristics are rare commodity these days!
I always have to share this video on threads like these: https://youtu.be/kdMG40wUCm4. Maybe you’ve seen it - interview with a senior Java developer in 2022.
The tone is necessary. So much bullshit 'nutrition science', with defective methodologies, has been promoted by mainstream media (along with exaggerated nonsense on the "risks" of eggs, coffee, tea, spinach...) that it's appropriate for people to debunk these claims vigorously. These mainstream outlets shouldn't pretend the nocebo effect doesn't exist, and that their reporting won't harm people's health unnecessarily.

When better science comes around, then we can let the MSM get away with making these claims.
> Wikipedia Is a Source of Political Propaganda

> Although the free online encyclopedia is good at general information about broad topics, it’s terribly inaccurate for anything political, contentions or controversial.

> And the performance of Twitter isn't exactly good.

Twitter is probably the most performant platform at its scale. The timeline experience is unparalleled. Reddit cant do it. Facebook cant do it. Gmail cant even let me see an email and go back to where I was in my search query half the time.

Also, Elon touts himself as "technoking" who's sole engineering prowess is responsible for Tesla and SpaceX. If someone tells him 1200 server side service calls are making the app slow in one country and not another, he deserves to be clowned on. He's the one making the claim he's some sort of Tony Stark, so he can catch flak for being dumber than the average mid-level web developer.

Oh also

> Disengaged employees are a massive drain

Why is it the employees fault for being disengaged but not Elon's for being an absolute clown and bullying/firing everyone via twitter that calls him on his bullshit. He's the one being toxic, but people responding negatively to toxicity are the "drain".

Another corporate simp acting in bad faith. Nobody cares more about twitter devs making 300k not getting lunch more than Amazon abusing warehouse workers. Nobody has said that. Nobody has implied it. The same people who are decrying workplace toxicity in elon's takeover of twitter, ime, are in favor of Amazon Unions and better workplace practices.

However, you know who isn't a fan of unions and workplace happiness? Your boy Elon. It's the same side of the same coin.

If you give a shit about Amazon and it's mistreatment of employees I have literally no idea why you're doing so much work defending Musky boi.
While those would all be fun, I'm not sure any of them could doom Twitter.

Interesting point, but if the goal is a balkanized internet, and the means is exploiting xenophobia, doesn't that implicity prove that China is adept enough at using TikTok to stoke racial animus to justify the shutting down of TikTok?
I do not think twitter has the ML capabilities you need to built a TT competitor, and they aren’t just competing with TT anymore. YouTube, IG, and FB are already getting pretty close. Elon would have to something pretty different than just copying them
Show HN: The best of Carl Sagan and other science communicators in your inbox
Hi everybody,

I'm a big fan of extraordinary science communicators, such as Carl Sagan, Stephen Fry or Richard Dawkins. There are many videos of them explaining intriguing ideas delightfully and spark curiosity. The simple idea of this newsletter is that I pick one video and send it to my subscribers about twice a month.

Unfortunately I'm forced to use Mailgun to send out the newsletter (Ghost doesn't work with a different provider), but of course I don't track clicks or opens. I'm also using the EU instance of Mailgun. When embedding YouTube videos, I use the privacy mode so that YouTube doesn't set any cookies.

Trying to comprehend the idea that "key changes are cliche". No. Maybe certain patterns are cliche, but there are so many interesting things you can do with key changes that the remark is just silly.

But it isn't just key changes that have gone away. We used to let drummers speed up and slow down with the emotion of the song. Now we want everything on a grid for ease of production, we pitch-correct even when it isn't really needed, we sample sounds rather than have real musicians play. The result of all that is that songs have a narrower envelope of variation, and they tend to be more simplistic.
