One time my job was standardizing a machine learning model training system in Python so you could develop models on a Mac or PC and then train them with large data sets on a DGX-1 for production.

Over the course of a few months I developed quite a list of configuration problems that could break Python scripts and some of the worse involved character encoding. In particular, in many Pythons, writing invalid Unicode in a print statement could crash your Python. It's one thing to say "don't write invalid Unicode in a print" but if you are sucking in a large number of 3rd party libraries you can't control their use of print. It turned out many customers had CSV files with invalid Unicode sequences so we couldn't control the input. People would say "just use docker" but the team was always finding and making docker images with strangely configured Pythons. (If anything Docker seemed to make it easier and faster to use and install misconfigured software, not make it easier to get things under control.)

It's good news that Python, like Java, is defaulting to UTF-8 instead of whatever locale it gets from the OS because frequently this locale is not just "not UTF-8" but something really bizarre.
Incremental compile times were quite fast, I'd say in the 1-2 seconds. I also have another project where I'm using Dioxus-web for a web application. When building a web app, it also has hot code reloading and I'd say reloads take under a second (though I just started this app so it only has a couple hundred lines of code).

I have an M1 Pro Max though, which is quite a fast machine.
The company was bought for $44 billion. $46 Billion was the deal, $33 Billion from Elon + $13 Billion from some bank.

The extra $2 Billion wiped out Twitter's old debts IIRC.

We should require a test of one's ability to drive based on some basic standards before issuing a license. We should come up with a series of rules for what happens if someone does not adhere to these standards, as well as a mechanism of enforcement if they violate those rules.
Great answer.

As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master.

Low-level APIs are used to build lots of varied high-level APIs.

Why do people arguing this point keep repeating the lie that the account tracked Elon "at all time" or similar?

The account only posted the location of Elon's private jet, which I'm pretty confident is not a threat unless an attacker has a surface to air missile ready.

I think by virtue of of being a public figure, Elon can't have the same expectations of privacy as regular people enjoy by way of relative anonymity. No one really balks at the Pelosi's home being easily obtainable information.
Judging from his blog, Dave Winer is trying to build something that will tie in RSS with Twitter, Mastodon, and so on.

I first learned his name here on HN a while ago, although he doesn't seem to participate here. He thinks he's doing great new stuff, but as in this thread, his name rarely seems to come up in other people's discussions of RSS.

"Some feared that the inability for people to get along with Dave Winer would further damage the development of RSS."[0]

A lot of this just boils down to people wanting to justify, defend, and tolerate anything he does because they want to believe that the nerdy entrepreneur will usher in their cyberpunk fantasies about going to Mars and interfacing directly with machines.
How are you liking Prisma compared to a pure SQL approach?
If you are fully attentive, you can correct course once you realize a mistake is being made. My Honda Civic has adaptive cruise control and lane keep, and I run into issues with it reasonably often. I'm not complaining: after all, it's not marketed as much more than glorified cruise control. And either way, turning it on is not a risk to me. With any of these features, in my opinion, the main risk is complacency. If they work well enough most of the time, you can definitely get a false sense of security. Of course, based on some of the experiences people have had with FSD, I'm surprised anyone is able to get a false sense of security at all with it, but I assume mileages vary.

Now if the car failed in such a way that you couldn't disengage FSD, THAT would be a serious, catastrophic problem... but as far as I know, that's not really an issue here. (If that were an issue, obviously, it would be cause to have the whole damn car recalled.)

All of this to say, I think we can leave the guy alone for sharing his anecdote. When properly attentive, it shouldn't be particularly dangerous.
Unfounded hope of course: no one who has, or had, monetary interest in the success of Twitter would or would have gained from transparency.

Twitter is a public company, and may be a digital public square, but it does not have the public good as a rewardable goal.

Jules Verne predicted space flight decades before technology made it possible.

In 1903, New York Times predicted that airplanes would take 10 million years to develop (https://bigthink.com/pessimists-archive/air-space-flight-imp...).

Many people who saw the first actual flights from Wright brothers dismissed them as a parlor trick that will not amount to anything practical.

Technology has a long history of exponential improvements. At first it improves slowly and then suddenly.

Sure, everyone (not just Tesla) was expecting self-driving to happen by now. It didn't happen yet.

I share the OP's perspective that the maturity of self-driving is already so high that it's a matter of time for it to become viable to deploy at scale.

The initial DARPA challenge was Wright's brother. We're closer to a plane that can travel halfway over Atlantic. Not quite there yet but it's just a matter of time until it can cross it.
Yes shockingly people are more concerned about what's going on in the place they live in than another country on the other side of the world. How many people who work at Twitter could even name the former PM of Malaysia that you mention?
Not really. There is no guarantee that Elon is on the plane. He could loan it to a friend or one of his companies VPs. The plane could be at it's home airport, fly to another airport to pick Elon up, fly to a third airport to drop him off then return to the home airport. Elon would have been on only one of the three legs.
The current interpretation of the 1st Amendment is that anything less than "Fighting Words" (something that will “produce a clear and present danger of a serious intolerable evil that rises above mere inconvenience or annoyance”) the government can't interfere with. The delineated exceptions to free speech are obscenity (which is very poorly defined: the famous Potter Stewart line 'I know it when I see it'), child pornography (reasonably clearly defined), fighting words (defined above) or the related "true and imminent threat to violence or other lawless actions" (emphasis on imminent and lawless). Reposting publicly available data falls into none of those exceptions (after all, the government is the original source of this data!), so the government could not legally take this sort of action, here in the United States.

As an example of what a jury has found to be true and imminent threat, Flip Benham's Save America organization was printed up and distributed "Wanted" posters, with the names and home addresses of doctors who provided abortion services, and put the posters up on the homes and around the neighborhoods of the doctors. Things that don't rise to that level of threat are protected by the 1st Amendment against government retaliation.

Musk is, of course, free to not follow the guidelines that the Government is required to. But by the same token, we have free speech rights and are free to criticize him, make fun of him, and otherwise denigrate him for being a lawless hypocrite who is actively promoting evil in the world.

> a president not condemning and (very likely encouraging)

So not condemning something (that is to say, choosing not to speak) and "very likely encouraging" (as opposed to actually encouraging) is somehow worse than calling for outright genocide?

Your comment isn't really clear here. Are denying that the two comments I posted aren't contributing to violence that was actively going on at the time of their posting?

And with regard to this:

> Have you considered that many people here actually work in companies and know how they work, meaning they don't need a media source to know that the Twitter files are bogus? In fact, most people here have brains and can think for themselves, and we actually don't rely on a media outlet for all our takes.

thanks for the copypasta :)
The kind of developers who’d “jump ship”, especially for developing web apps, make the kinds of apps that I want to avoid anyway.

Third party app stores will be a cesspool of malware and garbage, like they are on Android now.
I have really mixed feelings about this. From an open source and general fairness perspective, I would really like to have a true Firefox on iOS but I'm also cognizant of the fact that iOS' browser restriction is basically the only reason why “web” is not a synonym for “whatever the Google Chrome team chooses to ship”.

It feels like this would be best if paired with some regulatory pressure banning cross-promotion of Chrome on Google properties and requiring Google to actually do QA rather than accidentally breaking YouTube, Gmail, Google Cloud, etc. for users other browsers. For all of the “Safari is the new IE6” memes posted, I have far more frequently encountered cases where a Google web application is doing something which only works in Chrome but there is no technical why it could not work just as well in any other modern browser engine.
Fortunately there are modern alternatives to React, such as Solid, or Qwik (nearly no JS bundle up front). You can even ‘qwikify’ React components to use them with Qwik, and choose to only execute them on the server/edge, meaning the user doesn’t have to download React at all. But the developer can still tap into the React ecosystem. The future is looking brighter than ever for web apps on mobile.

(Now we just have to cross our fingers for Apple delivering PWA push notifications for Safari in iOS 16 next year like they’ve announced. Then PWAs on mobile will be all the rage.)
Take a look at Scandinavian countries that have the highest levels of gender equality. When women are given the most freedom, they choose to spend more time raising children than men, and they choose less demanding jobs than men. Women and men have overlapping interests but women tend towards children.

> And when that account got doxxed -- which is dangerous and malicious -- the company did nothing.

you know Elon was running the company when this happened, right? which makes it completely orthogonal to your point.
I agree that my freedom of speech ends short of stalking and harassing people! I just don't think that re-posting publicly available information qualifies as stalking or harassing. And I think it's a very big stretch to claim that it even comes close to facilitating stalking or harassing. Has Elon himself even claimed any actual negative impacts due to this information/account, or has he just expressed concerns about the possibility?

Also, "and you know it" is insulting and rude, and I don't agree with it or appreciate it.
Backing up how great it is that so much of Sveltekit is built using basic web standards. More often than not when I'm wondering what the shape of an object or function is in Sveltekit, I realize that it's exactly the same as you'd find on MDN documentation.

It's an incredibly refreshing experience compared to other frameworks that create custom concepts for everything they do.
And it still is. It's just not nearly as accessible or overtly obvious as it once was.

I'm not sure if this would have happened if the account wasn't given extra attention in the media in recent weeks. Prior to an article 2 weeks ago, I never even knew that this information was publicly accessible, and now I know if I want to try to figure out where Musk, Gates, Zuckerberg, or other public figures might be, I can check out the author's website.

Now the main site will probably even gain more visibility which will also expose other individuals personal jets. Like I said before, it will be interesting to see what impact this will have elsewhere.
Free speech for me but not for thee. Anyone with an ounce of sense saw this coming.

This is public flight data reposted to a public channel. Musk now owns one of the biggest platforms on the internet so I’d argue that not only is the information already public but now in the public interest.
In this blog, we will explore the challenges and opportunities of central bank digital currency (CBDC) from a cyber security perspective. CBDCs are a digital form of fiat money that are issued and backed by a country’s central bank. They offer the potential for greater convenience and accessibility, but also present significant cyber security challenges that must be addressed in order to ensure their safe and effective use. We will discuss these challenges and how they can be addressed, as well as the broader considerations related to the use of CBDCs.
I don't think that would work due to "bad" drivers. We all drive differently than we know we should drive in certain circumstances (e.g. road is completely empty in the middle of rural new mexico)

For example, you can imagine FSD would determine to go straight down a straight lane with no obstacles - that would be the correct behavior. Now imagine in real life the driver takes their hand off the wheel to adjust the radio or AC, and as a result the car drifts over and lightly cross the lane marker - this doesn't really matter because it's broad daylight and the driver can see there's nothing but sand and rocks for 2 miles all around them. What's the machine conclude?
So now all the communists will be pestering him to feed the world instead of Musk, who was allegedly able to do it with a mere 6 billion?

I don't think the writer of this article has thought this all the way through. Sure, replacing one of the SAASes from your tech stack with some self-hosted OSS will reduce your spending (as long as you spend less on the operations than you did on the SAAS of course). The main problem for tech companies comes when all their customers have the same idea and cancel their account in favor of OSS alternatives. That would lead to a much deeper downturn.

I also wonder how the "use FOSS, it's free!" mindset will coexist with the "pay OSS devs more" movement. That will be very interesting to watch for sure.
I think it kinda gives food for thought that the only place where ElonJet was banned is his own platform.
I am one of those users who have asked, but how can I trust that the Tailscale coordination server will not inject hidden public keys to my network.

This feature is a very good step forward in security. I will take a look and if the implementation is sound, I am going to use Tailscale (namely if the Tailscale is compromised, I will not be automatically compromised, unless I manually accept external public keys, or install a bad update).

The problem with malicious updates can be addressed by providing as easy way to check the code signature. With a standalone infrequently updated app such as an AppImage app, this can be easily done by verifying the GPG signature upon download.
I think it will help some people use apple who were infinitely frustrated by this. But I'm sure Apple has done the calculation and benefits more than it hurts from being a total dick to its users, or they wouldn't be doing it.

From my read of the “Twitter Files” I hey have multiple levels of ways to reduce a tweets reach. Not allowing a tweet to trend, not show up in Search etc. I believe the “heavy” part refers to how many, and how hard these levers are pulled.

I don't know how to cordially express how much I disagree with this.

The time that a job consumes is a bug, not a feature. The reason a farmer hires a carpenter is to get the barn built, not to feel better about the hours the farmer spent growing the crops that the carpenter eats. If the carpenter could snap their fingers and get the barn built instantaneously, rather than over the course of a few days, they would, and the farmer would still give them food to pay for it.
FSD handles road rules significantly better: the road up to my house has a complicated five-way intersection with a railroad crossing that EAP could never handle. FSD navigates it perfectly. For my 40 minute compute, there are about three spots where there’s predictable road issues that force me to disengage (no safety issue, just the car gets really hesitant) but otherwise it’s obviously an upgrade from non-FSD.

Similar feeling to when SBF went bust. Even though I'm heavily involved in the bitcoin space, I barely knew anything about him other than vague praise of his effective altruism ideals and more pro-crypto/anti-bitcoin stance and that he ran a seedy, off shore exchange. Only afterwards did a lot of the people I actually do follow and respect resurface their old criticisms of SBF, e.g. Jack Mallers in June, https://twitter.com/jackmallers/status/1536834021354786823
