Did you know that once upon a time there was no such thing as a speed limit?

Do you think we should return to those good old days? Or is there perhaps an argument to be made that new technologies can lead to suboptimal outcomes when operated within the bounds of regulations that didn't (and couldn't reasonably have been expected to) anticipate their development?
Shadowban is not a total hiding content from everyone, it also implies selective hide[1].

[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_banning
That's an unfair, hasty generalization of people who use Linux.
Yes, that's the one.

Are you implying that he's not esteemed? He is.

He was right about lockdowns on school children having huge potential for harm. And it was very, very wrong to censor such posts.

And again, this was far from an isolated incident. Millions of posts were removed, tens of millions were shadowbanned, delisted, deranked, hidded, supressed, etc.

Views questioning natural origin, official policy, vaccinating children or school lockdowns were smeared as anti-science and sinister... The irony might be funny if it wasn't so harmful.
Secret is to foster flip economy in updating houses.

Can't be crushing that too after what we did to our beleaguered housing industry.
FIDO U2F is not WebAuthn, and if you had even bothered to skim the link you provided, you probably would have realized that considering:

- they go out of their way to explicitly differentiate them, and

- the entire discussion is about U2F and bringing in support for it in a limited sense so that people adopt WebAuthn instead of U2F.

Like, did you even read the link you provided?

So, again, what about WebAuthn is proprietary or complicated?
Just more outrage theater by the right.
Although it implicitly suggests non-capitalist society won't have the sexist differentiation of labour, I think the article could do more to show how pluralist and mixed-economies vary here. It's pretty clear the scandi nations have a different experience to the British, or Australian. Not perfect, but different.

A lot of socialist countries have increadibly strong sexist bias in the workforce, and marginalise women. Magnifying the value of manual labour, emphasising "working class" supremacy does that. It is not uncommon for women to work in medicine in the FSU, but they were placed in a lower class than heroic male surgeons often.

So while I think they make a good point about how capitalism comes with innate bias, they do less well arguing about the alternative.

I found the suggestion that the left should seek to leverage differences inside right wing extremist support interesting. They are right that the US working classes are not glued to trump automatically but it will be a long, slow, hard road to drive a wedge there.
Event Horizon had a similar quote to the BttF one. "Where we're going, we won't need eyes to see."
Thanks!

I really appreciate your reply. It makes it quite clear that there really are cases where voice is not the best option.

Sometimes we are a bit blind to the need of others since we're too much focused on our own preferences and needs

In that sense your comment helps to see things from another perspective and teaches a bit humility in the process.
If you type your password into a device you don’t own, what value is left in the password?

Shouldn’t you basically consider it compromised at that point?

If you rely on remembering your passwords, do you also keep them unique for every website?
I can't help but laugh a little, tho it's definitely a bitter laugh. How many times will we continue to tolerate this largely unregulated infrastructure and be surprised when this happens? It's the definition of insanity.
Thanks. But this is such a antiuser feature, like the incident was like

1 I use std function to get a temp file path

2 I write content in that file

3 I do all the checks to ensure the write worked, I use std functions to check file exists

4 I use std function to print the file path

And the file path is a lie, It all would be fine if it would use the real path, and if a newb would hardocde "/tmp/file1" then I would be happy with a error message that I can't write there .

I assume they had some reasons for the lie, I am not convinced it was worth it, I do not like magic hidden stuff.
Letting a user know defeats the point of doing it (also, this is not what Twitter is doing).

The point of shadowbans/hellbans as they exist on say, reddit, is to deal with what would be termed criminally as a fixated person. If they know they're banned, they just make a new account, and another one after that, and another one - if they think they can't post they engage in ever more extreme measures to keep doing it.

A hellban is a solution here, or at least a relief valve because of course this person doesn't actually engage with the community or care to, they're their to grief it: so letting them continue to think they're posting normally while being invisible keeps them occupied until either they lose interest or somehow figure it out.

Moderators are a finite resource, and spending all their resources chasing down someone who won't take the hint is exactly what a hellban is for.
Julia’s package management is miles ahead of R, and bests Python’s on a large number of factors. However the last time I used it, it still required you to issue commands into the repl to setup your packages. However, that might have been resolved by now? The language and tooling clips along at a pretty good pace.
Typescript does pretty much exactly what you want. Also try Rust. It's close to what you want.
> The dissenting view, like with the lableak theory, was systematically blocked from ever reaching journalists eyes, and thus from reaching parents minds.

I would hope that journalists conduct their research through better means than solely reading Tweets. That would be an exceptionally lazy standard, one which would merit a failing grade for a high school paper.

That being said, "systematically blocked from ever reaching journalists eyes" seems basically false given that this person co-authored a story that was published in the Wall Street Journal! [1]

> Literally millions of posts were removed and shadowbanned to various degrees. No one at any of these companies has suffered any semblance of accountability in any form.

Being punished for exerting control over what is publish on your private web site seems to me like massive government overreach to me. I don't think anyone would administer web forums if the government started telling them how they could and could not moderate posting.

Yes, it is unreasonable. This is not how companies work. The personal preferences of employees are not what govern the operations of their employer.
There’s multiple papers from google, nvidia and probably others that interface large language models to a Python repl, physics engines, math engines and then train the model to output code, take the output and then form the answer.

The model accuracy jumps by double digit percentages.

Right now we’ve just seen ChatGPT make sense of text tokens, once it deeply integrates with internet/other models/traditional compute it’s going to be superhuman in many areas.

Also slightly scary if it’s not aligned with human values.
We got our gas line and sewer in the streets replaced. And replaced too.

Just need a willing city mayor to be re-investing into infrastructure.
I love reading those articles about new materials. Since reading James Edward Gordon's The New Science of Strong Materials: Or Why You Don't Fall through the Floor (https://press.princeton.edu/books/paperback/9780691180984/th...), I’ve been trying to keep in touch with the development of new materials. Still, I find it hard to understand which materials get into production. You tend to read news about new materials when a press release is published (as it is a relatively discrete event), but rarely about the fact that an industry has progressively adopted a new material that it regularly uses in production. It is even worse if there isn't a corporation or institution behind it to promote it.

For example, I read many articles about Flash Bainite Steel (https://www.osti.gov/servlets/purl/1461193) in 2015, and I’d love to know if the industry has adopted this process. (I am especially curious about its potential use as tubing material for bicycle frame building).

Devastating. So sorry to hear that.
Carbon tax is the least bureaucratic and hardest to game mechanism.

Sequestration is the opposite. Plant a tree and claim 2 tons of credit, then chop it down and claim it again next year. LOL.
I kinda agreed with the article until the part about the monster truck. That felt sexist to me.

My daughter received transformers and trucks too.

And yes we gave a doll to our 1 year old son (but the train got all the focus).

To be clear, I agree with doing something about it, I disagree on bounding toys to gender
Twitter is under no obligation to tell its users exactly how their Tweets are moderated.

Twitter has no legal obligation to do so. I think a lot of people would hesitate about engaging with a platform that actively has its thumb on the scale. I would really rather not have the thought in the back of my mind that invisible, unaccountable forces are the reason my views aren't popular, not that I'm an asshole with stupid opinions.
That's actually what he was implying in his last tweet:

> The press conference to reveal the aircraft was held here last week so we can confirm the location. A guess likely would have landed someone in the same location but fun anyway to star match. I'm sure this entire process could be done with just stars and no google maps as well
Michael Schumacher's 2000 Ferrari F1-2000 was 4397mm x 1795mm, or 7.89m².

Michael Schumacher's 1995 Benetton-Renault B195 was 4350mm x 1990mm, or 8.66m².

Ayrton Senna's 1988 McLaren-Honda MP4/4 was 4394mm x 2134mm, or 9.37m².

Niki Lauda's 1977 Ferrari 312T was 4143mm x 2030mm, or 8.41m²

Jim Clark's 1965 Lotus-Climax 33 was 3604mm x 1650mm, or 5.95m².
You can move into cities whose mayor is constantly reinvesting.

Or you can move out if the mayor does not bother to reinvest into its community.
But modern password best practices require long, unique passwords for each website.

Most users either don’t follow this, or use a password manager.

If you use a password manager, the “something you know” has become just another “something you have” like an SSH or 2 factor key.

Basically for good security practices, passwords are converging on becoming SSH keys except less secure since you trust the website (or any device that isn’t yours that you type them into) to not leak them.

At that point, what value is the password providing when you are always pairing it with an actual private key challenge?
Yes and also meaning (and extremely likely in this case to be the reason - rightly or wrongly) "do not lift these restrictions until first contacting this other group."?

Not my first thought when reading the words "no action whitelist" Yours?
Would most people consider an account shadow banned when it can post as normal, yet its post are secretly set to have near zero visibility? The answer is self evident. Twitter tried to redefine shadowbanning to something they do not do, and then put out a post saying they don't shadowban. That is engaging in extremely bad faith. Using the definition as normally understood, is not.

There was a post on Hacker News when this blog was released: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17623306

One post there sums it up pretty well: Is it just me? Did I just read a blog post that said “We don’t do this thing I’m going to explain how we do the thing we don’t do.”
Thanks, I see. Your first point may hold for those VCs that want to cheat death etc. I want to believe there are decent people who derive their morals from enlightened philosophy or theology (and looking to connect with those).
Ok, let's say they did, it's a private company, 1st Amendment doesn't apply in the manner you seem to think. In fact it's the opposite, they as an entity / company have 1st Amendment rights to do as they please with content on their platform.

That being said, yes they suppressed propaganda and disinformation that could lead to bodily harm (as on J6). People like Fox News hosts pushing disinformation that could lead to people dying over COVID is easily crossover into legal territory. Why would they want that shit on their platform? Is it their fault all the disinformation comes from right wing kooks?

This argument is ridiculous. It's like Nazis complaining their propaganda was being removed from the radio and their voice was being silenced.

Dirty schedulers isolate the potential scheduling issues, but there's no memory isolation between NIFs and the rest of the BEAM state, so there's danger there.
Twitter should have been more aggressive with taking down COVID misinformation, not less. I saw "#hydroxychloroquine" trend far too often, with posts advocating using it as a substitute for vaccines at the top of the results upon clicking it.
> History will surely uncover a Machiavellian plot about usurping control over the web, but at the time the story was pretty simple, at least as it was explained to naive pawns like me. Google wanted the web to succeed and even had a team of people contributing to Firefox. Google wanted more influence over the product, Mozilla was (reasonably) uncomfortable with that, so we went our own way.

This resonates with me. Often the narrative is that big tech is malicious. I think that evolves way down the line. Initially it's just about getting stuff done.
> There is no indication that physical copies are dead.

Might want to talk to DVD and Netflix. Physical copies are on life support, and you won't be able to buy them anymore except through GamePass or equivalent service.

This is what Microsoft wants, because they can continue to charge a subscription price for decades old games (there's a few selections on GamePass if you want decades-old games).

Maybe Waze will bring some of the good UX choices over from Maps. Like not increasing my risk of crashing by making me click past warning screens, or silently closing itself in the background, or again making me take my eyes off the road to hit the "are you really really sure you want to close Waze?" popup instead of just damn closing when I hammer the Back button.
It doesn't matter what "most people" would consider, because Twitter provided their definition of the term at the time. People disagree about all sorts of terms, and that's totally fair, but what Weiss is doing is retconning her own personal definition of the term on Twitter's policy statements, which were unambiguous. She is, in turn, being unambiguously dishonest.

It's interesting how selective people are about the supposed Gell-Mann Amnesia effect.
That’s not an optimized benchmark, just a demonstration using a real customer workload. Throughput depends on the workload but goes up to about 20,000 events per second per machine. All this is while simultaneously querying the graph and streaming out 20,000+ events per second. All that includes durable storage.

Price it out against Neptune instead and Quine is much less than 1% of the cost.
"I don't want to craft one-liners"

I do. I specifically want that as a more valuable and powerful feature. Undifferentiated, open-ended, general purpose, sharp tools are infinitely more useful.
More specifically, it tells your router to hold packets for a few milliseconds while it switches to another channel, then switches back and signals to resume sending. Unless you are saturating your wifi network from a single apple device this should nit be an issue.

AWDL has been around since, what, 2014? There may be new bugs but it’s hard to believe the principle stopped working as wifi got faster.
> Why aren't these using external tools, like a calculator, when they "know" they're doing something a tool would solve perfectly?

There are models that do this; in fact, ChatGPT appears to, underneath, be one of them, because tricks to reveal its internal prompt indicate that it has at least a browsing integratiom that is disabled via the prompt.

But ISTR seeing other models used configured to use Python in the hosting Jupyter instance for some things, like math.
Sure would be easier if the world was that black and white but unfortunately there are a lot of gray areas employees encounter which are left up to their subjective judgement.
@dang: can this be unflagged?
I look forward to using that crap insecure WebAuthn client. A private key I don't control is a much bigger security issue than a compromised password will ever be. Google currently has no plans of supporting linux for "Local user verification" or "Passkey sync". If it was a truly open standard, I don't see why that would be the case. Needing to use a Google account is the definition of propriety vendor lock-in. Relying on specific hardware is the reason why I haven't embraced Yubikeys.

I understand the assumption that the general population doesn't care to and shouldn't need to worry about managing their private keys. But there's nothing secure about not giving me the option to, if I want to.

They'll be using the standard AND whitelisting browsers. Just like some WebRTC-based services used to tell you "your browser is unsupported" when opened in Firefox, but spoofing the user agent to look like Chrome made everything magically work (Hangouts was a famous example IIRC, though they've since added official Firefox support).
What are you saying? LibsOfTikTok didn't have a blanket protection. It required the special group to sign off on any action.

Surprised this hasn't been downvoted to oblivion yet.

It is certainly tricky to balance short-term potential benefits (such as a better chance of surviving a covid infection) against long-term potential (and possibly unknown) harms (such as a higher chance of developing a chronic autoimmune disease.)

Ok, but if I use this to ask about something I genuinely need help with, how am I supposed to know that? And I don’t really think the problem is that it can’t differentiate between sources that are right and wrong. The sources are perfectly fine. It’s the summary that is bananas.
It certainly has something to do with class and wealth. I am very comfortable saying that someone in the top 1% of income is in the upper class, regardless of the fact that the top 0.1% or top 0.01% of income may have vastly more assets.

That's unfortunately not how many humans work.

Take VCR tape rewinding. It's one of those things you just let slip, because it's so inconvenient. Maybe you lie to yourself about the reason why. Or maybe not.

It doesn't matter. The video rental store is going to take advantage of human nature and find a new revenue stream.

And the system will find a new metaphorical revenue stream.

Software engineering unions and professional organizations and other things. Or maybe just more digital tracking. Not that these institutions are bad. I want my doctor to be accredited. I want individuals to have the right to organize if they truly feel exploited by management.

It just doesn't feel collaborative or cooperative here.

Anyways, it's tough to escape that human nature. I'm sorry for my mistakes.

From the paper:

> “MINI-MENTAL STATE”
A PRACTICAL METHOD FOR GRADING THE COGNITIVE STATE OF PATIENTS FOR THE CLINICIAN

(..) the “Mini-Mental State” (MMS) which includes eleven questions, requires only 5-10 min to administer, and is therefore practical to use serially and routinely. It is “mini” because it concentrates only on the cognitive aspects of mental functions, and excludes questions concerning mood, abnormal mental experiences and the form of thinking. But within the cognitive realm it is thorough.
The Safari team has been killing it in interop-2022.[0] They've not only improved the most (and are currently leading) but was also way ahead on certain features like the new color spaces.

conda can also be used to manage python packages, but its dependency solver is very slow and sometimes completely fails.

Once you have created a conda environment, it is usually much more practical to install packages with pip or mamba.
> institutions that the majority of the world find completely uncontroversial

Not even remotely true. And yes, as de-facto "management", most of the blame is on these "institutions".
Fiduciary duty is a responsibility to act in someone's best interests (the investors in this case)[1]. The requirement to not make misleading statements affecting investors is a different requirement [2].

To the substance of your statement, they don't shadow ban, so that's not a misleading statement. The fact that a lot of people take an extremely broad view of what shadow banning is doesn't change that. Twitter actually define shadow banning in the link in the tweet you posted, and explain what they do and why that's not shadow banning.[3]

The near term anti-ship armament would be LRASMs, which are not actually very large. A B-1 can carry 24 of them internally at one time and the B-2 can carry 16. The B-21 is smaller but still large enough for a good load. 12 or more would not be surprising. No one is air-launching tomahawks or SM-6s (probably). The future is OASuW Increment II (HALO) which is a hypersonic anti-ship missile. The LRASM is basically a stop-gap until that happens. That missile will likely be a similar size to the LRASM given the size limitations of the platforms the navy wants to launch it from.

The security situation in the Pacific is also very unlikely to improve over the next 10 years.
> We should censor for how things are said, instead of what is said.

No, there are certain topics that are simply outside of the bounds of acceptable discourse. For example, Holocaust denial is inherently uncivil and should be off limits from every general discussion forum, regardless of the wording the denier chooses to use.
