I don't think so.

The same way of when JS dev uses docker and not giving a shit it's the whole Unix compatibile system under the hood (Linux), he just cares on getting Nginx-something from Docker Hub, effectively making Docker to be his platform of infrastructure, the same way small fraction of the crowd cares WSL2 is using Hyper-V under the hood.

If you make a poll on what kind of virtualiziation is needed to run WSL2, I bet the most used answer would be "virtua what?"
lying is the point, innit?
I think that's probably a naive hope, if we carry on down the current path the only way that Musk can save face and avoid being washed out of twitter is to buy up the debt that he secured to buy Twitter. Ignoring the technical issues, the debt is the thing that really threatens twitter - if the business can't generate the revenue to service the debt the creditors might step in and take Musk's equity. So the logical move if you're all-in on fixing twitter (as Musk seems to be) would be to buy the debt, he can probably get it at 60 cents on the dollar, so that means he needs to come up with somewhere around $8Bn, and we all know where Musk will look for that kind of cash. That would be a very significant head wind for Tesla stock.
Well, not often, no. I'm not really expecting that to happen with Twitter, I just think it IS a possibility. How many websites/apps that were as big as Twitter have totally disappeared?
I am beyond skeptical to be honest. True I've never done this specifically, but I've done few intense mushrooms trips lying on the bed with eyes closed, where my mind dissolved, I lost connection to my whole body and all senses, danced as a mist of atoms to (real) background shamanic music and then very, very slowly coming down from all this, joining atom by atom, sense by sense, limb by limb.

Felt very spiritual and almost religious at the end, interesting to experience as an agnostic (but this changed nothing, in fact just reinforced this opinion).

It just tells us how little we understand our brains, how creative it gets when receptors who provided 100% feed all life give suddenly only a garbled mess. And maybe that all of us have inside some innate desire for good, beauty, connection with all living, nature, universe. I mean, isn't that enough to marvel? Especially when such experiences often permanently change participants for the better.

Which is all fine but none of this needs aliens from other dimensions to explain. But in same vein some folks see conspiracies everywhere, ufos flying and monitoring us etc. while rest of us just see world as usual go by.
You discount enormously the value of good UI and UX.

Yes, a good UI is product, and people are prepared to pay for that.
This is the one which sticks with me too. It's infantile bullying to make an accusation like that to tens of millions of people just because his pride got hurt. Then he even defended it in court.

I think they sometimes avoid this problem by only putting restrictions on commercial entities, not on political or charitable entities:

"Bad trip" is a huge space of possible levels of bad. I've had tons of uncomfortable trips but none were "bad" enough to deter. Each person has a widely varying level of comfort with discomfort and resolve to keep trying. Same thing with extreme sports or any voluntary exposure to discomfort with perceived gain.

Just like extreme sports each painful experience also has a non-zero risk of deterring you forever and no longer seeming worth it. Whether you're willing to keep rolling the dice is up to how much you gain from each experience and how you integrate it.

Apparently uploading videos that don't degrade to unwatchable quality is a pretty hard problem to solve. A lot of artists work around this by uploading gifs, which then get converted to videos by Twitter's backend, but aren't degraded as badly for whatever reason.
YouTubers have been doing gratuitous jump cuts since like 2011, go look at some Fred videos. It's nothing to do with TikTok nor ADD, they use the jump cuts to mask recording mistakes or to cut out pauses.
You're putting a lot of stock into this idea that the root cause is some left-leaning employees. I don't buy it whatsoever. But even if we assumed it true (it's not), if you bought a company where the employees hate[0] you and you immediately start antagonising them doesn't that indicate that you were the problem?

[0] - I don't believe this is true either. As I said in another comment, not everyone likes their boss. But many people at Twitter liked their jobs and their colleagues, and probably would've tolerated some cringe-y Musk tweets or a change in direction. But my sense is that when Musk started firing people (either en-masse or individually, like the guy patiently explaining the "1000 RPC calls" thing) that's when the mood shifted to "fuck this guy, and fuck this company"
Anyone know what Twitter's infrastructure deployment process was like?

I assume that if anything will go wrong, it'll start there; the software itself shouldn't need to be handheld so much.

If it's all Kubernetes and what-not, and it still too complex for mere-mortals to grok then all companies should be worried.
> LiIon batteries are only economical today for the most valuable grid ancillary services, like frequency regulation, where they shine because of their fast response time.

Not so; for cost, LiIon+PV can already beat nuclear for the same use cases in most places, what we have not yet done is build the mines and the factories to scale all the way up to this.

Nuclear is the easy bar to pass, and while this report says we can beat all fossil fuels on price this way, I'm willing to doubt that for the sake of arguing against this claim in this instance.

Or, is there anything that doesn't belong to any key because it uses more notes than are allowed by any key?

Trust is priceless, as in irreplaceable. It's exactly why the laws should, maybe not make it impossible, but require a very high bar be crossed to do the sort of actions that breach that trust.

Probably not, unless there's some major changes. It's a fairly unintuitive platform to use, and it's not really scalable.
I have the same approach. I think given how many smart, rational people I know say there is something to purging I'm inclined to try it once, but once I have that experience I think I'm likely to revert to thinking it's stockholm syndrome for long-term exploration / future trips.
I'd call drummers "musicians" because the drums (which have rhythm) are a necessary part of the musical composition, and the drummer is performing that integral part of the music.

What's harder to decide, IMO, is whether a drum solo really constitutes "music".

If rap isn't music, then is a drum solo also not music?

Personally, I can't stand most rap, but I also get bored with drum solos and usually skip them, even if I otherwise really love the drum parts of the band's other songs.

Cant answer the question and my knowledge is only from 'one interested' but from how long (~20 years) it took to build the current EUV source and how complicated the alternatives look this is for sure no easy feat.

They measure the "quality" of review based on time spent looking at the code which suggests to me they have absolutely no idea why they are making people do code review at all.

This is an especially bad metric because

1) We have good data that after about 60 minutes of reviewing we start to lose the ability to find more issues.

2) It incentives making bigger and harder to review changes so that people spend more time looking at the code.

Maybe it doesn't make sense to you, and you may not agree with it, but if they state that this is the reason why they do it this way, then we should at least consider that it might actually be the reason why they do it this way.

Hurray for the obsyms and subsyms then.

In truth, "language change" (which is in fact language corruption) if often a necessary evil when a mass of "lazy and stupid" people desperately tries to learn something. The net outcome of all that is good, or has been so far.

Nope that’s not how it works.

Yeah I think empathy under the hood is just a very good modeling engine that models other people's brains without our conscious awareness.

IFS, DMT, and other experiences can surface those models to the conscious layer and allow us to introspect them more directly.

In that vein I think sympathy is our intelligent/conscious level modeling of other people's emotional states, which is a higher level process that happens with conscious awareness. In some ways I think sympathy is actually harder, and I respect it more because it shows conscious effort put into modeling experiences you haven't already had / can't intuitively relate to without effort.
(a) seems very likely to me. Didn't he already speak about making Twitter a "super-app"? super-apps are a bit new to the American audience but in China / India they are surprisingly commonplace.

I won't be surprised if he churns through a bunch of different ideas: Subscriptions, Deals with news companies, short form videos + creator tools, different kinds of ad experiences, the edit button, better spam filtering etc.

There's a lot of potential things Twitter could be doing if they didn't limit themselves to their core product.

I don't think (b) is unlikely. Their current product is already highly valuable. You don't need their short form video product to succeed in a way TikTok did but there's enough of an audience to capture there to improve the company's valuation.
Same with Hitler, really.
I mean, their original setup during early years (and I'm not making this up) required them to restart their Rails service every day, else it would crash/stuck because of memory leaks.

That's not a "tech startup" based on "hardcore engineering", that's a startup based on a social idea and implemented with some trivial tech.

Scaling this to hundreds of millions is not exactly a "hardcore engineering" thing either. Mostly regular engineering with some good practices (like share nothing) and devops. Tons of companies do just the same, today you can even do it from your bedroom by building on top of AWS, GAE, etc, there are even templates for this...
> The Linus quote

I always attributed it to Rob Pike, but it turns out Pike's is following:

> Rule 4. Fancy algorithms are buggier than simple ones, and they're much harder to implement. Use simple algorithms as well as simple data structures.

> Rule 5. Data dominates. If you've chosen the right data structures and organized things well, the algorithms will almost always be self-evident. Data structures, not algorithms, are central to programming.

https://users.ece.utexas.edu/~adnan/pike.html

Interestingly enough, the above link has this to say:

> Rule 5 was previously stated by Fred Brooks in The Mythical Man-Month.

Which I guess references GP's excerpt.

Also says this, which kinda loops back to Linus's way of saying it:

> Rule 5 is often shortened to "write stupid code that uses smart objects".

Sure, the argument that "other things have been heralded as the end of the world before" is certainly valid and probably true. And, yes, no matter how much we cry, TikTok is here to stay, until it is replaced by something even worse. However, we shouldn't treat this as a binary thing, like "well, if it's not the end of the world then why bother discussing it?" Sure somebody complained that radios would ruin human intelligence, but can we objectively say that radios and TikTok operate the same way, because of that? Objectively, I'd say no. It would be the same as saying that an AR-15 rifle is the same as a knife because both can be used to kill people. Surely if teenagers did not have access to rifles, only knifes, they would kill much less people in schools before they're tackled and immobilized? Crack cocaine and marijuana are both drugs, but surely most reasonable people would not say they are both just as bad? Anyway, for me, TikTok is scary. It is deeply optimized to savagely take advantage of every thing that is wrong with the human mind and use it to keep you inside the Skinner box. Literally, the only thing that it has against it right now is "huh you're not forced to use it, just uninstall it!". Yes, let's just close down every rehab center in the world; after all, you can stop using crack cocaine whenever you want, right.
For nearly 10 years I used a compact netbook with an Intel Atom Z530 1.6 GHz and 1G RAM, a Nokia Booklet 3G. I swapped the HDD for an SDD, and given its fanless unibody aluminum design and its 10.1in 1280x720 screen, it was silent and useable for basic office computing and 720p video, with a full-sized HDMI out. Even with Debian I used to get 6 to 7 hours of battery life. I used it extensively for note taking, dabbling in Python, and writing. It was slow, but more reliable and less buggy than running Debian on my older MacBook Pro (which had hardly any battery life left). I used the Nokia Booklet until its motherboard died in 2018, and I still miss that little machine's compact simplicity and utility.

Buzz. Not only do they "have" them, those users are literally the product the social media companies market and sell
Maybe. But even so, I do think the comment might cause some readers to behave more safely. Someone saying "I did this thing and it had a bad outcome, don't be like me" has more impact that someone saying "Don't do this thing."

1.) Twitter was not biased for liberals. That part is just not true, no matter what grievance machine says.

2.) Musk intentions were not free speech by any meaningful sense. He does not have track record of valuing it. He values only speech of those he agrees it and is super eager to punish whoever disagree with him. The first departments that had to go were the ones where actual free speech issues are dealt with.

Like, human rights team. Free speech is more then just saying n-word or ability to harass your opponents. It is also not giving your details to law enforcement and policies related to nonwestern countries.

3.) Twitter employees making it difficult for him is just not true. The worst that happened was few people disagreeing with him about technical matters. The free speech advocate was unable to process even technical disagreement.

4.) The idea that it ia far left employees leaving or that there was even that many of them is bonkers. Conservative people think about their employment conditions too. They dont necessary like being humiliated, they are not all doormats and natural born yes men.

I don't think that is a problem you need to solve at all. Who cares if your employees don't like you? There are thousands of CEOs worldwide and likely most of their employees resent, distrust, dislike or even hate them - but they need to work with each other and usually manage (if begrudgingly) to do so.
