How large of a sales team does SpaceX have (or need)? How about SpaceX's privacy compliance and data governance? Red team to try to see how a feature could be used nefariously?

Yes, Twitter doesn't build physical things or operate any store fronts... but that doesn't mean that there isn't a lot of complexity that is within the company and the way that it maintains its funding.

there is intersuccession of Intel and AMD. AMD seems to offer more models, but a proper analysis of their stand-outs and similarities is required to get a proper picture.

I like the timeline view. Generally speaking iMessage searching is absolutely awful. Good luck scrolling back a year in a chat with someone you message frequently (in my case, my girlfriend). Literally took me over 2 hours to go back 11 months. All because some of the words weren’t properly searchable.

And don’t even think about looking for previous pictures in the conversation “info” view. Most of them aren’t there.
Man, I may be in the minority here, but I find recreation.gov to be one of the very few excellent government websites. We use it every summer for whitewater rafting and camping reservations. You can disagree with how permits/reservations are offered (e.g., lottery, first-come, etc.), but none of those decisions are made by BAH. They were given a task and, unlike so many government contractors, did it very well and relatively rapidly. The fee structure can be changed, but whatever the magic was, I wish it were repeated throughout government at every level.

I think the biggest issue with recreation.gov is that so very many people are desperate to use public lands. Population levels in the western US have exploded in the last twenty years and we've developed almost no additional recreation opportunities. For so long as that's true, the scarcity and price problems are only going to increase. But at least we have a well-functioning website with which to tackle the problem.
This. If you're at the push-button-get-picture level there's no point to anything beyond a flagship phone. And that's where most people are.
I only skimmed the article, but the entire thing seemed like some fluff to make a connection between machine learning and biology research.

Cancer and genetic instability has been known for a very long time (hallmarks of cancer). Many energy/maintenance pathways are impaired or outright broken in cancer cells. Despite this knowledge, effectively targeting these “weaknesses” is far from trivial. Broken pathway does not a cancer cure make.
And yet the website is still here. If you want to critique the new leadership, than do it by all means. The actual employees seem to be doing a fine job at reduced-capacity though, and they've even managed to make a few changes I like. The point still stands - Twitter was operating way above it's means. If it actually requires 7500 engineers to keep running, then Twitter doesn't stand a chance anyways. Something tells me that's not the case, though...
Given that they wrote “2nd of December” that was probably just a blunder.

The real world doesn’t work like Law and Order. There will be an investigation before a grand jury. Evidence will be collected and a case built. Evidence and witnesses will be subpoenaed.

At the end of that will come a criminal indictment (unless the grand jury declined to issue an indictment, which is rare).

At that point the investigation is over. You don’t indict then build a case. Federal prosecutions don’t work that way.

This is a complicated case because it involves a lot of money, a tenuous paper trail, lots of communications and several jurisdictions. SBF may need to be extradited and whatever court hears that case will need a strong case. A failure to extradite Matt effectively kill the whole case.

This fraud is so egregious that the US government won’t let this stand. Stealing customer assets is as open and shut as a case gets.
Well, considering I've been using Starlink since Jan. 2021, the upload speeds have been more than adequate for typical WFH video/audio calls.

The download speeds dramatically falling over the last year have been a major annoyance when it comes to updating games via Steam or stuff like Microsoft Flight Sim, but streaming video has been perfectly fine the whole time.

Seeing the speeds drop is a bit of a disappointment, but given the reliability of the connection versus our previous ISP, it's 100% worth it for now.

> they maintain the opportunity for those two groups to intermingle, granting access to networks that that poorer students would be able to break into otherwise, which the rich also benefit from in the form of having known-competent individuals in their network.

I went to a private school and I saw a lot of friend groups and social structures that find ways to limit those networks to “rich and competent” instead of “just competent”.

Eg Fraternal organizations (bonus: also gender limited) like fraternities, finals clubs, or supper clubs with massive fees and tight cultures are one big common example. I was (embarrassingly) in such a club and there was definitely a riff between incomes (“wanna fly to New Orleans for Mardi Gras this week, we’ll only miss a few days of class?”)

Obviously spring break trips or not having to work a campus job. Eg Yacht week.

Also: expensive clubs with extra dues, equipment

A big thing that I didn’t expect, but is something that IMO schools don’t do a good job to address is that many lower-income students just don’t understand that sort of academic world because no one taught them. Eg I met a freshman student who thought professors wanted him to fail and that there was an adversarial relationship. Furthermore, he thought office hours are when the professors shouldn’t be disturbed. Once someone just explained that professors want you to succeed and hold office hours to help you succeed, he became more successful, less stressed, and spent less time studying alone. My parents taught me all this, and my high school held office hours… but many students never learn how this world works!
I do now.

But that is not what I am doing.

I am doing what is more similar to what you claim to do. This is essentially a throw-away account, since I have found that on social media that the only reason why an account might persist, is because it conforms to the mainstream.

I do not conform to the mainstream, and for good reason. Not to mislead, but to help enlighten; presuming my opinion is enlightened at all proper and true. Regardless of that though, it requires doing things somewhat outside the box. So I understand your miss take on my intent.

Edit: I would add this. If anything else, if my commentary has made you or anyone else think about subject matters beyond their own opinions and comes to a better truth than either of us knew before; then my intent is still served.
Unrelated to tricking it, I've found that ChatGPT is a better Google for lots of questions. Specific examples:

* I needed to know what the field was for filtering by container in Splunk. The first 5 Google results didn't include the answer (container_name). ChatGPT included it in a code block and also gave extra information that would be useful if I didn't understand Splunk at all.

* I needed to know how to set up Datadog intelligent alerts (I only knew they existed and could do some automatic learning for threshold setting, but that was it). Google's top 5 didn't include specific examples of intelligent alerts. ChatGPT gave me step-by-step instructions.
well no, actually the linked article we're discussing explains it all.
There's also <>, which I (en-US) call "angle brackets".
I mean, yeah. You can definitely automate both of those tasks but it's nice to pay someone to be accountable for fixing it.
YOLO

// Not being cute. If you believe you are young enough and clever enough to have time and energy to hit reset and try again on a Game Over, then it's an actually valid point of view -- if you cannot go less than zero. Given extreme rewards even with unlimited downside, if the downside is actually limited by bankrupt at zero, that caps the downside so taking the risk makes a lot of sense if you believe you can start again "near the top" (having developed non monetary resources and techniques to build wealth fast).
I mean, why not? I have alerts on cost in my cloud usage corresponding to orders of magnitude increases in expected cost. If they trigger a few hours faster (more accurately) that’s good. But I don’t see what I would do bar shutting down the service, so my argument is that it’s not really a feature that would make a difference for most use cases. And if your service is steady, you can already do a linear extrapolation from yesterday’s costs to see if you’d go over budget.
Gah that's horrific.
> If what you say is true I am totally unsympathetic of argumetns against damages being sought from monopolizers who are involved in the shutting down of the rail network for which society gave up its lands.

Great, since the shareholders of these companies are also involved in shutting down the rail network since they refuse to give a humane employment contract, you should be equally unsympathetic to their side. Since all else is equal on who should be blamed for shutting down rail or the economic impact this will have, then should we not be preferring the side that has the better ethical claim?

But a bunch of stuff did break. Famously 2FA stopped working, there has been an explosion of spam, and other widely reported issues- which are only the ones we know about - there could very well be some truely abhorrent stuff going under the hood to keep the wheels from falling off.

> Does this somehow avoid a management level of this proposed corporation who are going to be trying to maximize profits at the expense of the employees who are ostensibly in a worse bargaining position?

The corporation that takes the union's role would be owned by the workers; that's the whole point. It would be more like a "worker's cooperative" from that point of view, the way unions as they currently exist are supposed to be, but it would be a corporation from the point of view of other corporations who wanted to hire organized labor, so it would be in a better bargaining position than unionized employees are today. The workers would come to a consensus as a cooperative on things like how the corporation would manage the business risk of unscheduled absences, and then the corporation owned by the workers would sell the service of organized labor to other corporations that wanted it, probably with various different service levels depending on things like how critical unscheduled absences would be, and with higher service levels costing more.
That's interesting. I also started having more issues after starting at Google. Particularly with dairy, so I chalked it up to lactose intolerance, but I didn't have those problems so much before.

This is the opposite of my personal experience. For me, the service has been more reliably performing at higher speeds and since launching more satellites there are fewer drops in connectivity.

To add to the sibling post: 5^5 is around 3000. So 5 engineers have a team leader, 5 of them are under a director, etc... So 5 layers sounds about right for a Twitter sized company.
There have been a number of times in my career where HR emailed personal material (e.g., legal agreements, tax documents, etc.) to my work email, effectively forcing me to exfil my own personal data off the work laptop to the personal laptop. In HR's mind, it's a company document, because it pertains to an employee. But to me, it needs to persist beyond my employement, e.g., because the company wants me to honor the terms of the agreement, or because law requires it.

One of these times was during a layoff that I was a part of.

(But also, people are lazy, and personal stuff ends up on work machines.)
recreation.gov is a .gov site. Which is supposed to mean it is owned by the government and not a private run site collecting fees for a for-profit defense contractor.
Remove names, gender, race from admissions. Have a selection board base their decisions solely on a combination of transcripts and essays.

I think standardized testing is gaming the system, what you cannot game are transcripts of life long learners who value their education. If you remove all gendered language, names, mentions of race from essays you will hopefully be able to make your group decisions with less bias. The group should be diverse enough on multiple metrics.

Will it be perfect, no. But I think it's a better start than what we currently have.
> ChatGPT is a better Google for lots of questions

The danger of using generative AI like this is that a lot of what these tools say is objectively wrong. Their entire raison d'etre is bullshitting based on patterns of writing. The model doesn't know what it's writing about.

Yes the answers are coherent-looking and likely even internally consistent. But they're made up.

Except a lot of the pictures aren’t there in my experience. It’s a nice feature in theory, though.
If you're interested in what makes a good dictionary, as opposed to a good app, I want to note something that I really want but that dictionaries generally do not provide:

Words generally accept several different parameters (known in linguistics as "complements"). If I look up the FrameNet entry for "notify (v.)" ( https://framenet2.icsi.berkeley.edu/fnReports/data/lu/lu9183... ), I see that it belongs to the semantic frame of "telling", with 7 "elements" potentially in play. Those are:

1. Addressee

2. Manner

3. Medium

4. Message

5. Speaker

6. Time

7. Topic

Some of those elements can appear with "notify" because they can appear generally on any verb (like Time, as in "I notified him yesterday"), and some are more specific to "notify" itself (like Message, as in "I notified him of your decision").

The FrameNet entries for notify also tell us how each element may be marked in a real English sentence, and provide examples in which each element is color coded. This is what I want to see in more dictionaries. I particularly want it for elements that are specific to the particular word.

For a concrete example from my own life, I spent a long time being aware that 保护 was Chinese for "protect", and yet I was completely unable to figure out how to use it in a sentence. The issue is that "protecting" involves (a) an agent, the subject of 保护; (b) a person being helped, the object of 保护; and (c) a threat. No dictionary that I consulted indicated how to talk about the threat in a sentence in which the verb was 保护, nor did any of them even feature an example sentence in which a threat appeared. Modeling a sentence on the example of English, in which the threat involved in a protecting action is marked by the preposition from, does not work and will confuse Chinese speakers.

It turns out that the way to mark the threat is to include it in a subordinate clause governed by the verb avoid. 我保护她免挨饿, "I [will] protect her to avoid going hungry", not "I will protect her from going hungry". This is important information if you're trying to speak Chinese! But it's absent from the dictionaries. It is intensely frustrating to know exactly what information I'm looking for, to know that a dictionary is the place to find it, and yet to find that it is mysteriously absent from the dictionary.
Wall street can make money by charging financial service fees for:

- market making

- organizing sales of credits

- organizing purchase of credits

- selling hedging and insurance products so firms have some guarantees to support long term planning

That's in the "honest grift" category, then all sorts of nonsense can happen under the category of market manipulation, such as Enron style buying up credits to cause a price spike, or denying credits to competitors, etc.

> That said, totally agree it's also an energy infrastructure problem – that governments have been incredibly stupid and naive with the last couple of decades.

Exactly. Build more power plants, connect them to the grid, take older plants offline. No need to yell at people or tax basic human needs like transportation or electrical usage. For ships, the government can fund research on alternate fuels for ships, and the private sector can be brought in with research prizes and grants, etc. But the idea that a shipper -- which doesn't even build any ships -- is going to somehow innovate to create new shipbuilding designs and get into the business of building non-fossil fuel consuming ships -- doesn't make a lot of sense. All that will happen is that shipping becomes more expensive, which has terrible negative externalities. Only the strongest market fundamentalists want to leave basic R&D and long term investment to the magic of the free market.

I taught myself to drive stick on a rental car. It was probably extremely obvious to other cars that I had no idea what I was doing. Grinding gears, over-revving the engine especially in reverse, and stalling at every full stop. That would catch any cop's eyes. But to your point, after 3-4 hours I got the hang of it and was no longer attracting attention.

But to parent's point: A thief who doesn't drive stick is almost certainly going to prefer stealing an automatic.

Censorship is a cheap and bad solution to a problem that a lot of people feel very real. We have a real issue of regular people and malicious actors using the unprecedented reach of social networks to spread falsehoods, conspiracy theories, attacks on certain groups... Yes, the usual response will be "it's the responsibility of adults to filter what they see" but the reality is that doesn't happen. We are not ready for such an influx of information, and the structure of social networks incentivizes outrage and false or misleading content, and penalizes nuance and well-researched arguments. Social networks are being used to manipulate massive amounts of people. That's what should be scary. Censorship is just a response to that.

Personally, I think the solution is to limit reach, for everyone, full stop. Place legal limits on recommendations and pushed content, to incentivize people choosing their sources. Limit how many times a content can be easily shared (think of the ease of retweeting something you didn't even read) to incentivize organic spread. Limit the reach of unverified and new accounts to incentivize trust building. Increase fines and punishments (through courts, of course) for organizations that blatantly lie to the public to incentivize proper research.
