People aren't as stupid as HN wants to think they are. Twitter will be judged based on how it actually evolves, not Musk's brand. Time will tell.

Let's not pretend the site wasn't an absolute disaster before the acquisition though. If I clicked on even a single trending topic about a game or news item I'd often be presented with unfiltered hardcore porn. Then there would be topics of innocent things like landscapes that get filtered. It was a complete joke and harmful place to visit.
I really appreciate this tip. There could definitely be something like that that hasn’t been identified until now. I thought ADHD was only for hyperactive people, but it seems that it doesn’t have to be the case always.

This seems to be a good summary. Of course it is always going to be tough to know the truth about the health of such a public figure. For me it is enough to believe something is definitely amiss, but maybe I’m more optimistic than most.
This ignores the parent comment. Whether or not members of the democratic party want to throw him in jail is irrelevant since they are not able to so long as he is in a different country. If he can convince the bahamas not to prosecute, nothing else really matters.
And that's ignoring the misinformation, malinformation, and propaganda being willingly and unwillingly spread through the unregulated cesspool of the telephone system. These companies are near monopolies, and still won't take steps to crack down on the dangerous activities that they facilitate each and every day.
I disagree, the burden is almost exclusively maintaining fast implementations of primitive operators for all hardware. These ML libraries are collections of pure functions with minimal interfaces. There's very little code interdependence and it's not particularly difficult to implement modern algorithms to train networks.

It's fun to see a simple plain truth downvoted.

I was a software engineer in the Soviet Union. To buy your family something to eat (like milk, or cheese) you should skip work and spend an hour or more standing in lines at a grocery store. I used a different strategy: work late and around 8 pm there were no lines at you could still buy sour milk, bread and canned fish in tomato sauce. I survived on this and was pretty happy cause I liked my job. But remember the requirement: no kids...
DSLR powered up has a time to shot similar to phone already on the camera screen.

Either is adequate for casual photography.

We don't have any cute kids, but I hike and wildlife shows up now and then. I hike with a bridge camera, not because it's any faster or more convenient than my phone, but because of the lens. I have an older flagship phone, I would say the image quality is as good, but I have yet to get a wildlife shot with it due to the lack of zoom range.

My general experience is the harder the shot the more camera you need.
Am I correct in understanding that Nissan was using vehicle VINs as customer IDs and that’s why this worked?

Or is he saying in addition to customer IDs that the auth API also accepted VINs?
Worse, they lock down and make their standard UI not able to be customized, and keep "deprecating" standard UI tools and configs in favor of some junior intern's idea of how real users "should" work. This sucks, and is why I won't run Ubuntu on any desktop. If I wanted to be told how to use a desktop by an OS, I'd get a f'ing Windows box or a Mac.

I use Linux because I can configure it to work the way I want. If they take that away, they are just another proprietary pile of shit.

> They are justified only up to the point where Apple starts scanning your personal photos and then the EU joins in requiring everyone else to do that too?

Interesting view. There was a time, not too long ago, when photos were developed in labs by actual people. I remember vividly when some photos just came back blank, until I learned that the people at the photo labs used to "censor" content they deemed problematic and that could get you in trouble.

Back then, one option was to simply develop the photos yourself (major PITA, never did it myself, but I knew a few people who actually went down that route). Today, it's the data storage providers who do the censoring and with much more dire consequences (e.g. police showing up at your residence and charges being pressed).

The option you have nowadays is to simply not use these online services and use an offline storage solution (even if it's just a thumb drive on your desk) while taking photos the old-fashioned way (e.g. not with a smartphone).

The problem isn't so much legislation itself, it's that modern technology is a massive enabler for this kind of crime on a scale that simply hasn't been possible before and cannot be managed by any methods that may have worked in the past.

> It needs to actually make sense.

I agree, but the problem is immense pressure from all sides while being a truly Herculean task that unfortunately has no simple and effective solutions. So what do legislators tell people then? Just let it go and accept that thousands of children have to suffer? Or rather live with the looming threat of your life being ruined by an innocent holiday picture your phone mislabelled?

I honestly don't have an answer to that I don't know there is a good one either.
Can you be more explicit? It sounds like you're being sarcastic.

Are you saying they are friends (in which case, what is the point of pointing to the much weaker relationship)? Or are you saying the weaker relationship is evidence of friendship (presumably combined with the fact that he chose to go to the Bahamas)? Or something else?

It's quite normal, unfortunately. Nobody trusts their employees in a $44 billion company, definitely not in the wake of a highly-televised hostile takeover. They have the MDM software, they intend to lay off the employees anyways... there's no wrongdoing here as far as I can see. This is just how they do things outside the startup sphere, it's not like the CEO is going to schedule you a final Zoom call and have their receptionists bring you a bouquet of roses.

> The reality is people vote on feelings and have no desire for fair or equitable outcomes.

And this really frustrates me. I try to vote based on who I think could best do the job, but there is no real data source for me to make my decision. Plus my vote is so terribly diluted by the feelings voters.
...

In the fictional society, people voluntarily (presumable because of an existing social contract) feed data about themselves into Multivac. Multivac then considers all this data and uses it to pick the elections winners (it picks all election races, not just presidential).

There is only one actual human who votes (Norman), and he doesn't really cast a ballot. Rather, he is interviewed by Multivac to help it make the final decision. Every election year, Multivac uses its vast data on all humans to pick the voter of the year, and this year it's Norman. Norman is just a store clerk, not some important dignitary.

Maybe Google has gotten worse because the internet has gotten worse.

He admitted donating to Republican dark money groups. He claims he donated roughly the same amount to conservative causes as he did with Democratic orgs. Plus, another exec in his organization, Ryan Salame, donated $24 million to Republican candidates.

Between Sam's dark money donations and Ryan's $24 million, it's possible Republicans received more FTX money than Democrats. I don't know if that's true, but it's possible.

My oven spends most of its time off, and when I use it, it's heats only to 70% of its potential.

My hair clippers are unused 99.9% of the time.

There are benefits to having the ability to opportunistically burst into 100%, and some benefits aren't easily measurable in performance terms (having an up to date secure MacBook).

We can find wasted potential in various places:

* the millions of people receiving poor education

* people working in jobs below their potential skillset

* galaxies with vast idle resources

* people spending time on logistics/bureaucracy

There's a world of opportunity out there for improvement.
Hasselblad and Phase One have very simple and in my opinion, great UIs for their modern cameras.

Would it matter if it had better code density? "Modern" doesn't necessarily mean that it is better in every aspect. For example, there were articles claiming that same application compiled to 64 bits uses more memory than 32-bit version.

Yeah, I think a lot of people forget that for something like this he didn't need to actually get the government to do anything: simply delaying action gave him the chance to do hundreds of millions of dollars in fraud.
Yeah, I've got connectivity--and I never use it. I'm not shooting with a PC nearby, I'm bringing home a camera full of shots. And it's *far* faster to pop the card in my PC than transmit them.
For one thing, you’re mistaken. A big realization of hacker culture in the 90s and early 2000s was that the old forums and the like had to be heavily moderated otherwise they digress into flame wars. Social media definitely knew this, but made their fortunes off of flame wars.

We’ve realized how idealistic and out of touch with humanity we were. If everyone online was a good faith actor attempting to have intellectual dialog then I would oppose all censorship.

The fact is though that bad faith and agenda driven actors dominate the public narrative, stressing all of society out in the process as they either directly, or by proxy, then the real world and daily interactions of society into a giant flame war.

I care a lot more about society not being divided and these tools of connection not being used to wage large scale disinformation campaigns than I do any ideologically driven morals. We have to live in this country, this world, together.

Harvard is a private institution. You don't get to set their priorities.
Maybe not a large part of the humans living now, but the next generation won't have it easy. I don't think that it's prudent to look at past events for two reasons: Population size and in-/dependence. There are a lot more humans now, than in the past. The year 0 is estimated to have had a population of about 170 to 400 million and about half for every 1000 years before that. It is a lot easier for smaller independent populations to move to a new place and start over, especially when most of them are hunter-gatherers or simple farmers. Their lives didn't change that much.

What will a population of 8 billion interconnected and dependent people do? They can't all move to a new place, they can't all farm for themselves. Just the war in Ukraine caused significant food insecurity due to higher grain prices and lower export numbers in some poorer countries. Now imagine such problems on a global scale.
That's a fair point, tbh. I probably shouldn't have defined it as hated vs fine. Its more like unacceptable to have access to twitter vs acceptable to have access to twitter.

Neither position necessarily implies approval of the person or content.

Not everyone needs bleeding edge.
Everybody else is using a chassis designed for ICE, so something that handle a vibrating 5000 lb engine, a vibrating 1000lb transmission and can hang 2000lb in fuel. They then need to add reinforcement to hang a 10,000 lb battery.

I'm fairly confident some of the rest of the industry could get a comparable weight if they started from scratch and they optimized for EV only. But that's two assumptions that don't currently hold.

"Also EV trucks are allowed another 2k pounds" - Ah that explains the 82,000lbs mentioned in the Tesla demo. Max weight for conventional trucks is 80K.

There were about 10-12 concrete barriers as load in the demo each weighing 39,000lbs. So the weight being carried is around 40ishK lbs. So rough approximation - half the weight of the truck is load and half is the truck itself.
IMO Snap is nothing more than bloatware designed as a resume building project by newby programmers.
> Why would anyone do that?

Because of convenience. It is an easy mistake to make. If you have to print something like a rent agreement, do you use your office printer or go through the hassle of sending it to FedEx to print? Also, when you have home office setups configured for your work, it can be a pain to switch everything to your personal laptop, if you even have one.

I wonder what sort of structural change we'd see if there was executive level bounties for cost savings?

"Ticketmastered" is one heck of a verb! It honestly strikes fear into my heart to think what else might soon be "ticketmastered" in the future. Hopefully it at least affords opportunity to create a counter-resistance that champions "anti-tickemastering" legislation.
Putting aside the circumstances specific to SBF/FTX (being in the Bahamas, involving crypto, SBF's political connections, etc), there's not much reason to expect that SBF should have been arrested 5-6 weeks after FTX's collapse:

- Enron blew up in Dec. 2001. It wasn't until mid-July 2004 that Jeffrey Skilling and Kenneth Lay were finally arrested.

- The WSJ expose on Theranos was in 2015, Holmes wasn't indicted until 2018.

- Martin Shkreli's MSBM collapsed by 2012; he wasn't indicted until 2015.

Bernie Madoff is a notable exception: he was arrested 3 days after his Ponzi was revealed. But it's not comparable at all to SBF's situation: Madoff was arrested after he confessed privately to his own family; his sons immediately went to the police.

Whether SBF is getting exceptionally soft treatment will be easier to discern in retrospect, but it might be many months or even years before he's indicted.
