I took mushrooms three years ago and immediately gained a pervasive baseline anxiety in my life. Haven't been able to shake it since. Wouldn't recommend if you have any issues with anxiety in your life beforehand.
This works for me in most scenarios. I always assume things won't go my way. Makes my life easier, less unexpected/unwanted surprises.

It does make me less social though, since I automatically assume people don't want anything to do with me and I won't initiate any contact, even in cases it's likely not true. This would have been a problem if it mattered a lot to me.

The Memo Twitter Sent Telling Staff Offices Were Closed
You're discussing a hypothetical world in which DANE was universally deployed and all Internet paths were clear for it. We can only asymptotically approach that world (and at present we are nowhere close). Until we get there, browsers have to be able to fall back to CA certificates. In addition to fallback being one of the most famous rats nets of security vulnerabilities in all of practical cryptography, this situation dictates that browsers won't be able to eliminate X.509 with DANE; they'll merely be adding a new trust anchor to the root store. The worst of both worlds.
Every machine learning project I worked on that failed failed because people (sometimes me) didn't figure out a way to get good training data.

Classification on a binary basis ("that person will like that video or not") is on a much better ontological basis than multiple class classification ("out of 50 links, that person picked will pick the 39th") For one thing it is possible to calibrate a yes/no decision, TikTok knows that there is an 80% chance that you're going to like this video and a 30% chance that you are going to like that video and make a rational decision about what to show you. Multi-class classification is a shot in the dark in comparison.

They give you 50 things to click on and make a big deal about having a privacy policy and how "data is the new oil" but the clickthrough data is absolutely worthless because out of 50 things there were 5 things you might have clicked on and you could only pick one. In particular, they can't come to any conclusion that you didn't like any of the other 49 things.

The HR office hires one black woman for their DEI initiative to work in "AI Ethics" to claim this technology is so powerful that it's actually dangerous and when they get into some spat with management and get fired they are doing their job because it legitimizes the idea that this "artificial intelligence" is so powerful it's dangerous but the web brought to you by Google, Facebook, Twitter and such is artificial stupidity inspired by Idiocracy just as Facebook's metaverse is inspired by Sword Art Online.

TikTok on the other hand really is dangerous, not because it's algorithms are better (they are, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-armed_bandit) but because their whole approach gives them meaningful data that can be put to work. It vindicates the idea of looking at one piece of content a time or a "Tinder for documents" that I talked about here https://ontology2.com/essays/ClassifyingHackerNewsArticles/

It's going to be hilarious when nothing happens aside from a few crashes, Twitter usage increases, and Musk takes it public in three years as a lean and profitable company. I'm enjoying this spectacle, but maybe not for the same reason most are enjoying it.

Since those failures he's aged, become more entrenched in his ways, no longer as scrappy or nimble as he once was, surrounded himself by yes-men and blasted off on an ego-trip from his success at Tesla and his shoehorning himself into every global drama.

I think FP is simple, uniform and very powerful. Because of that it becomes easy to express very complicated things in it, and thus write complicated programs. Like Y-Combinator. FP is simple but FP programs (often) are not.

FP is a bit like Assembler. The building blocks are very simple. The resulting programs are not. In a more conventional language the building blocks are not so uniform there are many different things you build your program out of. Think COBOL. Not very abstract code at all. But easy to read.

Conventional languages are more like "Domain Specific Languages" where the domain is building business etc. software. FP gives you the full (?) power of mathematics, it is fully general, not domain specific. Yet DSLs are often a better fit for the task at hand.
Zeiss.
In the "Events" section of the docs, there's a text box you can type into and the contents get inserted into an "em" element below the text box. If I type HTML into that box, it adds additional HTML elements to the page, so that seems like escaping isn't working.

Is that a bug or am I just not understanding what you're saying?

> It's a completely bewildering move; I'm not sure what Elon was thinking when he even decided to buy Twitter.

Yet another one of his relationships burned down and this time his ex is with a trans lady. One of his kids went to court to kick him out of her life while doing the paperwork for her name change. He's been a shitty husband and a shitty father, but instead of spending hundreds of dollars on a decent psychologist he's decided that "woke twitter" are to blame because they kicked a transphobic comedian off the site, and he's spiraled out of control since then.

He'd literally rather burn $44 billion dollars than admit that he has shortcomings. Or face a background check on his alleged university credentials.
I'm really sorry for your loss. This is a "friendly" debate I've had with my brother and sister-in-law about the FIRE movement. I have all kinds of retirement funds and investments, but even before this cancer bs I've become increasingly YOLO. The past and future don't exist. Which is not to say that people shouldn't plan and make contingencies, but I agree that I think delaying all of your hopes and dreams to some future date is perilous.

Arguably EU regulations did just as much to make EVs viable.
Ditto. I'm anxious most of the time but when shit hits the fan at work I can calm down and just fix it without panicing. Never had a problem with interviews or presentations either.
I'm not sure that anyone could create another Twitter.

Not from a technical standpoint, but from building a userbase.

The X-factor for Twitter, from my observations, was that they used established media as their biggest advert or ambassadors. This was kind-of organic, though making tweets easy to embed was surely one of the biggest part of it. The value of the free advertising Twitter has received from publicity in media is probably in the hundreds of billions. That's all from making it easy to embed tweets in articles, providing APIs and branding guidance for on-air graphics and so on. They quickly got journalists and news producers as users. The snake eats it tail and as soon as politicians noticed that a tweet could be on all the news outlets within the hour they focused more and more of their messaging to be through Twitter. That's really hard to build up again.

And on that same note the media can kill Twitter in a few weeks, stop saying X said Y on Twitter and just say 'on social media'. Stop embedding tweets or using screenshots/branded graphics from Twitter - or just stop reporting what someone has posted on Twitter.

>Sequoia are a huge fund, they are one of the doyens of the industry...it isn't even that they failed, they didn't even put in place the mechanism to try to protect their investor's money. It is unbelivable.

Don't VCs typically expect 9 of 10 investments to fail, but for the one which succeeds to more than make up for the rest? From the VCs point of view, as long as the allocation to each company is balanced, does it even matter whether an investment resulted in 100% loss due to a scandalous fraud instead of "normal" company failure?
I mean I understand it, but there is an almost unlimited supply of positions available, and no real reason to be stressed by an interview. The worst thing that can happen is you fail it and try the next one.
Yeah, why do you think they accepted so quickly? They tried to get Wall Street to be interested and they turned their nose up extremely quickly, and that was right after a 50% price drop

> They wouldn't accept his advice or help on how to make twitter better after he became a 9.1% shareholder.

They were happy for him to become a director. He balked as soon as it became clear that he'd have to pass the same background check as all the other directors. I wonder why that is?

> It's possible he was afraid of what discovery would reveal.

Like... his degrees being dodgy and having been an illegal overstayer in the 90s, which is a documented claim doing the rounds?
Mistake to make remaining employed optin with scary marketing copy above the button, instead of having the optin be for layoffs. Doesn't get UX, Musk.
Semi relatable. Marshawn Lynch "Beast Mode" of the seattle seahawks said that he would take a shot or two before the games to calm his nerves and things just flow.
Based on what we've seen with Twitter, Musk is one of the worst CEOs around.

You should definitely try beta blockers instead. Just ask your doctor, say it's for public speaking - they'll probably give it to you, it's a very common issue. Very few side effects for occasional use and completely dampens the adrenaline response

Yep, and such a thing would never be allowed anyway because what network administrator will look at “yes random client devices can punch holes in my network from the outside to your not very securely assigned address” and rightfully say nope.

Here’s the attack:

- You want to get to A

- And you’re on a device B that has access to hole-punch-as-a-service but no direct access to A. Good network administrator / sysadmin!

- Attack NDP (ie ARP spoofing but IPv6 flavored) to trick the firewall just for a moment that you’re A [1] and request the port be opened to your evil server C on the public internet.

- Oops.

Curious about how well collateralized that debt is. At current rates I’d be surprised banks would want to write 10s of billions for twitter. Particularly when the business plan is “I will lay off 75% of the company and hope things hold together.”
Uncanny.
Rankings based on what ? Personal taste? And it's not like every batch of apple is going to be the exact same from one week to another... You need to be a lot more specific than that.
HERE IS THE ANSWER, ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES:

Take 20 milligrams of propranolol, 1.5 hours (90 minutes) before your first interview.

It works for presentations and speeches, too.

Propranolol is a beta blocker and you can easily get a prescription for "performance anxiety" if you ask your doctor. It has a long history of chronic use at higher doses for blood pressure control, so it's very safe at the 20mg dosage. Just ask your doctor and you'll get the prescription.

It has negligible direct effect on the brain. It is NOT a tranquilizer.

But your body will be dead calm -- no adrenaline at all. And indirectly this will calm your mind.
Especially for doubling your required weekly hours.
This is a risk that many psychonauts seem unwilling to accept.

Hope you're doing okay. That anxiety is something that's almost impossible for people to understand if they haven't experienced it.
All depends on your threat model.
>Hopefully Twitter will continue to function.

When I first heard about twitter I thought 1) that’s a dumb idea and 2) it won’t last long.

I was of course very wrong about #2 but feel increasingly right about #1 the more time goes by and the more (IMO) it provides net harm to society and social discourse.

So I’m sympathetic to the employees stuck there but hoping my timeline for #2 was simply way off and it finally goes away.
From what appears to be a change in sentiment, with younger people, over the past 10 years or so, we appear to be heading into a slump of extreme risk aversion.
Roll or Don’t
Yes, tiktok is not a social platform. It is an entertainment platform where the content is user generated.
We all know Twitter is really bad product we are using. The obvious problem is the twitter culture. It is extreme difficult to fix a company culture. I believe what Elon did is the fastest way to fix twitter broken culture. I believe 200 engineers can run twitter far more better than now.
Also without the CDN (which I'm not sure how you'd do without MITM), but this is definitely comparable to Cloudflare Tunnel.
1. Is twitter usage increasing in the way that would be best for the business?

- Advertising revenue is down per Elon Musk

- Internal research reported by Reuters says that twitter is losing its most active users. From the article "These "heavy tweeters" account for less than 10% of monthly overall users but generate 90% of all tweets and half of global revenue." [1]

2. You claim if that usage continue to increase that means the former employees weren't performing useful work. There could be other reasons business improves besides the amount of work employees perform.

- More right-wing people join Twitter because Elon Musk took over and they want to show support

- Twitter increases its advertising and that leads to more traffic

- More websites link to Tweets which drives traffic

- Another Covid lockdown occurs causing more people to go to Twitter

- China officially unblocks Twitter

Correlation does not imply causation

Sure, but so could anyone; there are plenty of open source Twitter clones you can easily deploy to your own server.

> They win the war of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th coalitions. For the first time, they find that things are going fine. All they have to do is nothing. Pull back and consolidate

Pull back and 'consolidate' as Britain keeps propping up Russia to attack the French from both sides. Meanwhile making use of the aristocrats and their still present economic and political power inside the continent.

That wasn't a viable strategy.
Yes, I second that.
At this point it just seems like a matter of time before Musk and/or his fan club start trying to change the narrative to him purposely running the company to the ground, and the fact that he wasted billions of dollars doing it somehow is noble.
When people say that it's meant in jest more than when psychonaughts tell you, you haven't taken enough because you haven't fully broken down your psyche.

It's not really comparable.
There are a lot of people walking around with bipolar who don't know they have it. Among others reasons, this can happen because they will not seek treatment for hypomania (a good mood) and maybe not connect the dots in their behavior patterns. A bad chemical experience could tip them over the edge. This happened to someone close to me.

We certainly don’t know enough about psychology to objectively measure much of anything. But I suppose a massive portion of your workforce deciding to take severance instead of working for you any longer is one of the most concrete examples of high social debt coming and biting you in the ass I’ve ever heard of.

And in general that’s the idea of social debt. That every time you ask someone to change their responsibilities, or do something against company culture, or do something against their morals,
or work longer hours for no extra pay, etc: you accrue negativity in their mind associated with you. Do that enough without there being positive things to “pay off” the debt and they’ll be less motivated to work for you, quit entirely, or even sabotage you.

Absolutely preposterous. Are you suggesting we interview folks for the job at hand?

I’ll have folks combing through mock stacktraces, creating a new endpoint, connecting to a local database, and even doing a little bit of multithreaded design. I’ll assess completion against quality of the solution and factor in how long it takes someone to complete it.
