The triangle numbers sold me. Just have to come up with a use for it, uh, discover the intrinsic beauty of the universe.

Looking at degrees of freedom doesnt really help. A point is picked on a line by constraining it along 1 dimension, and a line on a plane can be picked the same way. So a -1D object should be pickable in a point by constraining on 1 dimension. But a point doesn't have any dimensions.

Maybe take a cue from imaginary numbers? i is orthogonal to the regular number line. Can't go beyond -1D though, to keep the triangle numbers intact.

Is it some kind of identity operation or metadata? Based on the table, every dimensional object has one -1D nega-line.

If it's a line, it could plausibly be time (thanks, Einstein!). Some kind of update history/version control.

What happens when you combine dimensional objects? A 0D point and another 0D point defines either a point (if theyre the same) or a 1D line. Even if you define the points in higher dimensional space, they simplify to a line.

A point combined with a line, either the point is on the line, along the line segment, or creates a 2D plane.

Line and a line can define up to a 3D space.

The table for that is:

___-1D__| 0D | 1D | 2D

-1D

0D_____| 1D | 2D | 3D

1D_____| 2D | 3D |

2D_____| 3D |

Does this mean a line + plane can be used to stake out a 4D hyperplane?

Filling it in for -1D, adding a -1D object to anything doesn't change its dimensionality.

And each object only has one -1D component (from the OG triangle table).

So far nothing against the -1D being a history of the object on a universal timeline. That works when combining objects too - a point with its own -1D history combined with a line with its -1D history makes a new line or plane with a -1D shared history.

But looking at it from the perspective of information theory + minimal encodings is probably going to ** all that up.

A line is easily definable, with just a length, or with 2 points in a 2D space etc. But it can hold an infinity of points that take infinite storage space to keep track of.

It’s clearly illegal, it’s conspiracy to defraud the United States.

I think it's a good thing that we're having a discussion on when the Whitehouse is applying pressure for tweets to be removed, and how nicely asking is or isn't pressure. I actually think that these actions were entirely legal. The Biden campaign and the Trump administration can and should be allowed to ask for posts to be reviewed.

But I think we'd damn well take a close look at when and why they do choose to do so.
It is absolutely a crime

We could be looking at a classic case of groupthink [0]. I've read a lot of political speeches with half-truths to try and gain an advantage, but the Twitter statement stands out as something that might be their honest take. Someone, probably a couple of someones, with high intelligence and communication ability was in such a state that they interpreted the Tweet as inciting violence.

I'm scratching my head here. It's quite a leap to go from:

> political parties... have a direct line to Twitter to get stuff they dislike removed

...to:

> in America you cannot say negative things about political leaders online

Twitter is not the internet. It's a tiny part of the internet. You can say whatever you want on many, many platforms. In fact, people can't stop talking about some of this stuff on HN and Reddit.
Shhhh, that's how I work on reverse engineering old IoT stuff! SDR, loose admit-all policies, extremely low power, figure out what APNs and info it wants, and start capturing requests from it.

It'd be great if Elon published all removal requests coming in from political operatives, public figures and PR firms. Commandeer one of the myriad bot accounts and turn it into an automated take-down-request publishing-bot.
A political campaign isn’t an order from the government. Until recently, intentionally misunderstanding the situation was an ineffective court strategy.

It's called "soft power," and the use of "review" in those messages is clearly meaning something more than that. Otherwise, the government would not have suggested anything at all.

do we think politicians don’t have direct lines to oil companies?

do we think politicians don’t have direct lines to religious leaders?

kanye, who is running for president in 2024 — just in the past week has posted swastikas, done multiple interviews attacking jewish people, and praised hitler — he was posting direct text messages between him and elon (the owner of twitter) just yesterday.

this is nothing new. this isn’t even shocking. this is entirely business as usual in the US.

Sorry so which part of Biden or Trump asking for Twitter to review content that is against its own policies isn't free speech?
> It's that Twitter did that at the behest of the government.

Could you describe the government at the time this action was taken? What relationship did the people asking Twitter to do things with the government? Did the people making the requests have any authority to direct any department of the Federal Government to take any action?
> government used to be weary of any appearance of impropriety, lest people believe they are acting improperly -being slimy. That seems to have gone by the wayside.

Voters used to punish politicians that seemed improper. They don't anymore. The Trump administration was the capstone on this, obviously, but the trend has been developing for decades.

Do a CTRL+F for the phrase revenge porn in this thread. It's not an honest attempt at an explanation; it's a specific, coordinated tactic to misdirect away from the incredible information that the Bidens were corrupt.

This has absolutely nothing to do with Hunter's ****.
I'm not sure what you're arguing. You seem to have gone off on some wild tangent and started it with calling me "naive".

Let me break it down:

- Influence over Twitter policy is mostly through connections with politicians

- At least using donations as a metric, 97%+ of Twitter employees support the Democrats

- Hence, the Democrats overwhelmingly have more influence on Twitter policy

- Thus, when the Biden team expressed concern over a new article, the Twitter team was fast to censor the store on their platform.

Which is kind of the key point of the story?

I mean the banning of Trump while President kind of makes sense. There was nobody (or maybe 3% of employees) who who leaned Republican who could actually argue their point.
Can political campaigns not lobby the media? Do you think that’s something new?

Twitter censored everything to do with the Hunter Biden laptop story, they also took the extreme position of locking the NY Post account down over the article.

Matt Taibbi is showing requests to remove tweets related to the Biden laptop story from the Biden team and from the DNC, and showing Twitter rubber stamping those requests. No pushback. No review. Just "handled". It wasn't just pornographic images. It was buried as much as possible and flagged as disinformation across the platform.

100%. This article is a popular “Reddit” theory I’ve seen float around for a while now and it’s just not true!

I’ve worked IT help desk before and have seen lots of phishing emails. If scammers tightened up their spelling and grammar skills a tiny bit they would catch many more victims effortlessly. The bar is insanely low. Most users could spot obvious phishing emails. But emails with even just a little more effort put into spelling and grammar were insanely successful. I worked at a University - I’ve seen professors, students, admin fall for these ones.

Why can’t they spell? Because most scammers are operating from the developing word and don’t have great English. That’s it. There’s no elaborate theories beyond that.
What do you think the Biden administration would do if they were ignored? Arrest the CEO? Revoke Twitter's corporate charter? Please.
The Dawn of Mediocre Computing
You are misreading that very severely. Even if it was a first amendment violation to ask twitter to review certain tweets.

"The intent required for a conspiracy to defraud the government is that the defendant possessed the intent (a) to defraud, (b) to make false statements or representations to the government or its agencies in order to obtain property of the government, or that the defendant performed acts or made statements that he/she knew to be false, fraudulent or deceitful to a government agency, which disrupted the functions of the agency or of the government."

What false statements/representations were made, by anyone?

In addition, they had to in some way "defraud the United States" which is: "They cheat the government out of money or property; They interfere or obstruct legitimate Government activity; or They make wrongful use of a governmental instrumentality." - None of which apply.

That might be problematic if they were threatened in that way. Twitter, however, could fight that rather effectively and easily…
The big thing that PyTorch Mobile is lacking compared to TF Lite is on-device accelerator support (GPU/DSP/etc.) (there's experimental support for NNAPI https://pytorch.org/tutorials/prototype/nnapi_mobilenetv2.ht..., but this is a hack).
The last paragraphs of the article discuss the U.S. government and California:

> Most other governments haven’t admitted that they have access to these portals. However, last year The White House did admit that the United States (US) Surgeon General’s Office is flagging posts for Facebook to censor.

> The Intercept’s report on this Facebook content takedown portal claimed that several other United States (US) government agencies have access to the portal, including the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

> Documents released as part of 2021 lawsuits suggest that the California Secretary of State’s Office of Elections Cybersecurity (OEC) also has access to the Facebook takedown portal and a similar type of portal on Twitter.
Wait, you're suggesting because "people chose what they want to believe in based on their own beliefs, values and biases, making the poop stick", politicians are justified in suppressing truthful news stories?

Correct me if I got that wrong.
Were they? It wasn't clear even for most of a week after the election that Biden was likely to be elected.
How is having a direct line to Twitter the most disconcerting thing for you? Of course they have a direct line. I expect that all major political parties, the white house, various legislative committees, etc... would all have a direct line to communicate with Twitter. It's explicitly said that both major parties had these lines of communication, so it's hard to see a problem with the existence of back-channel methods of contact.

The only things that I'd be concerned about are (a) why is it informal? and (b) what did Twitter do about the requests?

Re (a): This should not be an informal process based upon personal contacts. This should have been a well documented procedure, if for not other reason than to remove the appearance of bias. Sure, Twitter could have assigned a "case-manager" type of contact for each group. But the process for requesting such access should have been formalized (and reviewable).

Re (b): Having a direct line to flag to request review/removal of posts is fine. You can request all you want. It's only an issue if Twitter felt like they couldn't reject the request. Again, because it was an informal process, it's not possible to have any sort of comprehensive statistics on who requested what, how often, and how many requests were approved. And again, the biggest benefit would have been to avoid the appearance of any bias.
Progressives aren't able to beat conservatives into submission because there's foundational checks and balances against that.

That conservatives have any power at all is a testament to progressives ability to catastrophically & embarrassingly mismanage themselves and fail to deliver.

But really progressives are just complaining that things aren't changing fast enough, it's inarguable that govt as it exists today is nothing remotely like limited govt.
