>Anyway to me it's similar to saying "violence is bad," yet we probably both believe people should be allowed to emoloy violence when violence is being done to them.

Yep, there's an important parallel.

I think a good frame is "protected speech". If someone says something to try & intimidate you, and you respond by trying to intimidate them, then nothing said by either party should be considered "protected" -- Twitter admins should feel free to delete the entire exchange.

I don't think a policy of "intimidating speech for self-defense is protected" is workable, because people will intimidate others and claim it was in response to something the person said to intimidate them, and adjudicating such claims gets messy. If you want to say something nasty to someone else because they were nasty to you, go ahead. Just don't expect your rejoinder to be protected.

>Hateful speech (slurs etc) are a form of attack, they're a form of violence.

I don't think we should use the word "violence" this way, because reserving the word "violence" for physical harm helps us avoid upward spirals of antagonism.

It's good if a conflict stays in the realm of words and doesn't go beyond that. Calling speech "violence" blurs the boundary between those domains.
As I said on another thread, man, I wouldn't want to be in the team of lawyers charged with writing this rule.

"You have 24 hours. You have to write some rules that make my private jet's flights that are public information available on a public website in real time disallowed, while also making Hunter Biden's hacked nudes allowed. Go."
Windows offers multiple and mixed paradigms though, so ideally the UI needs to be able to adapt to and handle these paradigms
So you didn’t bother reading the article, which clearly supports the fact that Azov have always been neonazis and continue to be neonazis, including by ADL standards. But don’t worry, the super “open” minds like yourself flagged the article to death within minutes.
Musk is a hypocrite. Twitter will be his downfall and hopefully he takes the conservatives and their “constitutional right to post” with him.
But if you disable JavaScript, then htmx won't work either, right?

And how is it lower cognitive load? You have to learn JavaScript, but now you also have to learn htmx. I don't call that a win. Code is read by a lot more people than wrote it. It's not great if you constantly have to be learning some flavor-of-the-week framework. (No problem learning new things where it's warranted, but this isn't even interesting, it's just a DSL.)
They already pay $93,000 on average, twice the salary of the avg American worker. How much more is enough?
Questionable book. While he might be right about overall direction it's a bit shallow and delivers skewed picture.

That will only let you know when the plane is overhead, and costs 30 USD more than Twitter.
"The playing cards all have RFID antennas in them" feels like intentionally creating a bunch of security vulnerabilities that you simply don't need to have, in order to be high-tech and I guess simplify tracking what's in people's hands? I feel like there would be some sort of computer vision or manual solution for this that wouldn't be so potentially exploitable.

I'm sure they considered this but it fascinates me that they're not doing something like 'when a card is dealt it runs past a scanner' to track who gets what card.
Hello fellow former F5er! I was there from late 2016 through early 2021. I left as I wasn't a fan of how things were heading and I also found the general software hygine to be quite bad and I kept wanting to use more local static analysis as a normal part of development, which was difficult given the convoluted build process for the software. I worked on TMM.
as others are indicating, at least some of the problems here are:

- he recognizes that it’s reasonable to take actions if an account *might* influence his real life.

— he mocks others and declares they’re unreasonable when they ask twitter for help.

- sometimes he even escalates the threats towards others, portrays them as hysterical and starts ranting about town-squares and woke cancel culture.
Yes, I am implicitly assuming that eventually someone will connect to it as an API, not just to directly render the HTML but to machine-process it.
This is the same for the Nektar Pacer, the physical interface is a bit of work to get through, but someone made an amazing web midi configuration tool allowing complex configurations to be made or transferred between units.
You seem to forget that storage also has no operating expense.

The cost of operating a steam turbine far exceeds the cost of the coal or uranium driving it. But the steam turbine would not be the only operating expense for fusion. We don't know exactly what it would cost to sieve a thousand tons of molten FLiBe every day to get out the tritium produced that day, because no one even knows any way to achieve it at all. But it would certainly be a huge daily expense, if achieved.
That's a terrible premise to start a conversation on HN. Let's not use extreme concepts invented by ideologues + controversial figures being petty as the basis for thought experiments.
The difference is that the information we're talking about here is already completely public information, repackaged in a different format. It would be more like an account that tweets the nearest homeless shelter to you - open information, packaged differently.

Where it might become more problematic would be if the account included inciting language with the information ("here is a homeless shelter, go and mob it"; "Elon's about to land in CDG, who wants to stage a riot"). But I think it's clear that that's not what this account is doing - it's just giving information out that already exists.

And for what it's worth, it's not just Musk who gets this treatment. Most British political events of the last few years have involved journalists excitedly gathering around flightradar24 and watching some poor minister's plane as they make their way back to London to get fired, hand in their resignation, etc. That's essentially the same thing that this Twitter feed is doing (albeit usually more focused on the event rather than 24/7 tracking of one vehicle), but it's not considered a security risk because it honestly isn't. I mean, when the Queen died, Huw Edwards did the same thing for the Princes' plane, and he'll probably win a BAFTA for it...

In all fairness, I have some sympathy towards Musk, as it sounds like he's dealing with the shock of his child being stalked. That's going to evoke a strong emotional reaction, and I can completely understand why he'd want to shut this sort of thing down. But that doesn't make it useful (the information is still public, and anyone motivated enough to track Musk down IRL doesn't need Twitter to find it), nor does it change the hypocrisy of the situation. It seems like he's just lashing out at the wrong person, and making decisions over things that he can control.
> Depends on how long the interstellar craft is supposed to travel.

I didn't have (only) travel in mind. I was thinking of living between the stars.
Each one of those flights also use several times the amount of carbon an American produces per year.
It’s a fair point. Systemic racism by police is a real thing, and the culture of silence and borderline extortionate tactics employed by police unions make it hard to change. Voters can say we don’t want to pay for that kind of institutional bad behavior. . . But all too often what we want doesn’t matter.
When you make a web browser engine, you don't get to choose whether a use case is marginal or not (FWIW I use WebMIDI frequently in Chrome). You implement the standards or you perish.

Nobody wants a web browser that "chooses" not to work on some % of websites. Users choose, browsers implement. They are welcome to gate this feature behind a per-site permission prompt if they think it's insecure.

Humans (or at least I) have the ability to look up knowledge. What about an architecture where the main model has a background conversation with a knowledge model, just like I need to look up things I remember exist, but forget details off.
Heck, such a knowledge model would have great value for people aswell.

Using written conversation as an interface between language models feels natural and completely bonkers at the same time.
It was whatever the BIOS-vendor made of it. There were many besides the more known AMI (American Megatrends) and AWARD.

Long story short: you may have a point there, because lossy memory compression :-)

OTOH some memories aren't that lossy, and I'm absolutely sure of the 'variety' of this one message across different vendors.
I can't find which personal info did Musk publish about Yoel Roth in that linked article or any other. Was it home address? Or something else?
I'm just saying, if he doesn't like seeing that someone is republishing, as a broadcast, information about the travels of his private jet (which, as an FAA-licensed airplane travelling over America's airspace, is always broadcasting its location while in flight, both for the safety of its crew and occupants and for the welfare of the public that is providing his plane a safe and legal air corridor in which to operate over all their private property)...

... he could just hit the back button on his browser, right? What right does his discomfort grant him to deny other people access to this information (which, we can repeat, is information his airplane broadcasts while operating... anyone with a radio can receive it, all this channel adds is a one-stop shop to look it up)?
Later, seemingly as cover for the original ban.

In todays geopolitcal situation flight over US soil with transponder off will end rather shortly I guess. Fortunately for us rules for getting pilot license are rather strict.
Exciting news! Right time to integrate the efforts put into GHCJS and perhaps PureScript and Elm into mainline GHC. Proper dependency graphs and build story. Fantastic!
You check up on people close to you. If the situation at home is deteriorating, it's very valuable for someone to have a way to keep their kids safe. It can be as simple as telling their kids to go to the friend's house when they get off the school bus.

Also, CHOP was chill. I got cookies, browsed the free library, and hung out in the park. Protesters watched the barricades and wouldn't let police in, but ambulances could come in if someone needed health services. I didn't live there, but I felt safe when I visited. It was very different on the ground than what was reported on the news.

If you hated the ideas of CHOP, it looked like hell on Earth. If you found the ideas attractive, it was a brief grasp at something bold and beautiful. A word that describes both is "anarchy."
He could do that shit with a Zoom meeting. Musk has enough money to get one of those really swanky Cisco telepresence tanks. He doesn't need a fucking jet to complete anything except being another asshole billionaire.
Eh?!

You want basic utilities controlled by an HOA and not a elected, audited and accountable organisation?
We just had an election as well, which means most of that money would have been spent. How far can they chase it down? I can’t imagine random campaign staffers needing to pay back their wages.
I sincerely hope he learns and changes his mind.

Evidence so far is that he’s not principled enough to do so. “Free speech absolutism” just meant he didn’t give a fuck as long as he wasn’t the one at risk. I don’t think that will change, but I’d love to be wrong.
Is it doxxing if it's public available data?
Dave Smith, may he rest in peace, and Ikutaro Kakehashi deserve all of the flowers.

https://www.grammy.com/news/technical-grammy-award-ikutaro-k...

Dave was a brilliant designer, both analogue and digital, but not so great a businessperson; his company, Sequential, who made some of the most beloved electronic instruments - not least the Prophet series - went bankrupt and Yamaha bought the name. Dave went to work for Yamaha and Korg, and then Seer Systems, where he designed the first ever “soft synth” (professional-standard PC synthesiser plugin), Reality. He had all of the acclaim, and I’m sure he did OK, but he did not have the financial success the quality of his work deserved.

Nevertheless, he then founded Dave Smith Instruments, maybe the start of the analogue synth revival (which is going gangbusters now; Eurorack is the coolest hardware hacking scene on the planet). DSi did pretty well, which was great, but here’s what really reveals how beloved Dave was; his old friend Ikutaro had a word with his friend, the president of Yamaha, and more or less asked; “we all love Dave. You’re not using the Sequential name. How about it?” and Yamaha went… “you, know, yeah” and gave him the Sequential name - which still had significant brand equity - for free.

Seriously: https://www.sequential.com/2015/01/sequential-back/

> Instrumental in restoring the Sequential name was Roland’s Founder, Ikutaro Kakehashi, a longtime colleague and friend of Smith’s. “I feel that it’s important to get rid of unnecessary conflict among electronic musical instrument companies,” said Kakehashi. “That is exactly the spirit of MIDI. For this reason, I personally recommended that the President of Yamaha, Mr. Nakata, return the rights to the Sequential name to Dave Smith. And I’m glad to see such a wonderful result—a new product with the Sequential name.”

And in 2021, he sold now-Sequential again under much happier circumstances; $24m to the well-regarded British gear manufacturer Focusrite.

The music gear industry has more than its share of villains - google Uli Behringer sometime - but Dave and Ikutaro were real ones, and the best parts of the industry (including the big Japanese manufacturers, Korg, Roland/Boss, and Yamaha) move in their spirit. And a large part of that is because of the existence of MIDI.
Yeah, there’s always a pretext. That’s the point. It’s easy to say “I’d only ban speech that violates the law!” when someone else is running the show. But when you’re in charge and reality hits, well, of course posting someone’s location doesn’t count as free speech!

And so on and so forth. It happened with parody, it’s happening with this and it’ll happen with something else in the future. No one comes out and says “actually, I don’t support free speech anymore.” They just keep moving the goalposts. Which would be fine, except people keep trying to tell me they don’t exist.
ADS-B allows planes to track each other during flight so they don’t crash into each other. It is public because that’s the point: to broadcast their location publicly.

All those FAA rules do is mask it in their own public data set that they make available. Anyone with their own data set (aka an SDR at SMO if they’re trying to stalk Musk) like ADSBExchange is not required to mask that data and any law trying force them would run afoul of the first amendment and compromise aviation, since ADS-B makes flight safer for hundreds of thousands of pilots.
Unfortunately, a browser cannot realistically be controlled by a non-corporate-funded entity (if you don't count a government). Modern web browsers are incredibly complex and the web standards are made in a way that largely prevents the creation of new browsers. Firefox is mostly funded by Google, and Mozilla being the ineffective organization it is, this is unlikely to ever change.

Let's not group mean tweets and mass shootings under the same umbrella
It's almost trivial to do the same without this API: focus/blur events, user input from mouse/keyboard. A permission toggle will add nothing.

> its use in various "ed tech" websites to detect alleged cheating[1] is frightening, to say the least

Because? Monitoring what happens during an exam seems normal and reasonable. There is a limit to what is "reasonable" – monitoring webcam and microphone is not IMHO, but seeing if another tab was opened is fairly reasonable.
Reduced feature set -> this only demonstrates a lack of investment, because it is not fundamental to the technology.

Buggy -> same demonstration of a lack of investment, not fundamental to the technology.

Slower -> I only see this "objection" on hackernews. Every user I talk to just wants their stuff to work, speed doesn't even make their list of concerns.
Stopping fake accounts and boosting your conversion to paid
Now that Elon's family has been stalked, are you going to retract that comment?
Yeah, it's stupid. It's even more annoying with MAME and arcade games in general because every single system has its own button layout and every single game has its own button conventions. There is no such thing as a standard controller and of course trying to wrap such a diverse ecosyetem into an XInput controller abstraction results in a mess.

I always have to remap inputs for nearly every game because I want to have my jump, attack, dash buttons and all the other inputs remain consistent for every game due to muscle memory. The mere existence of the RetroPad makes this nightmarishly hard.

It's not like he doesn't know this. I remember him committing features that would let people swap A/B and X/Y buttons precisely to help the arcade players. Who knows what he's done since then. Maybe he fixed it but I wouldn't bet on it.

> And don't get me started on the million different cores and forks of forks of forks.

Yeah, even the emulator authors themselves are unhappy with that. I guess RetroArch needs those forks because their audience includes people with underpowered devices.
California should aim for enough desalination capacity to sell surplus to AZ and Nevada. One plant in Carlsbad is cool, but building a few more would really help find some unknown/unexpected cost savings the world really needs right now.
Is there any reason to believe this was done on behalf of the Chinese government, rather than out of personal feeling? I'm not saying it's a right way to act, but absent government encouragement, it doesn't seem very interesting.
I find all the arguments about why it's bad to anthropomorphize here a bit tiresome.
It seems clear as day anthropomorphization is more appropriate to this subject matter than to almost any other subject matter where we commonly do it without giving it a second thought.

It's a chatbot! the whole point is anthropomorphism!

if it lies, it lies.
We know it when we see it and pretending we don't won't get us any closer to nailing down a better definition than that.
I think it's better to just acknowledge the fluidity of language and our difficulty with nailing down hard definitions in general than to pretend this particular subject matter is somehow unique in this sense
I agree that insofar as "stochastic terrorism" is a meaningful concept, Elon has probably also engaged in it.
This video by Anton Petrov explains very succinctly, in understandable language, what the breakthrough was and the technicalities are. He basically agrees with the premise that this is not as big of a breakthrough as it was maybe made out to be, but still a significant milestone:

Very interesting nonetheless, especially for people interested in physics.
Serena is at it again with her perfectly silent ghost drill!

Elon invokes his kids as a trump card to shut down criticism (e.g. why he isn't unbanning Alex Jones).
For further discussion, we'd need to be careful whose perspective we are taking and what timescales we are talking about.

You seem to be taking the perspective of individual countries? And not eg humanity.

And timescales of perhaps decades?

On longer timescales: people don't get born knowing how to build nuclear bombs. They are trained up.
Well, have a look at https://qr.ae/prpVIL which says:

> The highest instantaneous pressures we can obtain here on Earth are in the Fusion reactor at the National Ignition Facility and in Thermonuclear weapon detonations. These achieve pressures of 5 x 10^12 and 6.5 x 10^15 Pascal respectively. For comparison, the pressure inside our Sun’s core is 2.5 x 10^16 Pascal.
It is hard if the population is shrinking because the two shrinking parts of the population, children & working adults, are essential for GDP and tax revenue; while the growing numbers of retired seniors just put even more strain on the system. There’s a threshold when taxes get too overwhelming.

You’re still down to some major choices:

* End immigration and end public benefits like healthcare

* Keep immigration and keep healthcare for now. Then pray that someone finds a solution someday to a shrinking population because immigration will only slow it down.

* Drastically increase taxes. This isn’t really a viable long term solution because in most places that have a lot of socialized benefits the taxes are already very high.
As far as friction, I would like to see email 2FA if they deem SMS 2FA sufficiently secure.

But really, there should be a way to recover your account if you “lose” everything except what’s stored in your head.
> maybe not completely voluntary

Why would you say that?

He signed a binding agreement to buy Twitter at an agreed upon price.

Nobody forced him to sign that, ergo: he completely voluntarily signed a binding agreement on which he later wanted to renege.
Do you have any more specific tips on doing this approach? This is exactly the kind of path I want to take!
It looks very much like it's just some pro-CCP activist who's a complete hypocrite by living in the US while working against other Chinese who support democracy. The federal government is simply making an example of him due to current tensions with China and reports of Chinese police stations in other countries.
I can't edit this now, but it just occurred to me that the relational data issue was specific to Slite, not Notion. Racking my brain, I'm fairly sure the issue we had most with Notion was performance.
Stochastic terrorism may be an extreme concept invented by ideologues, but the fact remains that if you have a big platform and you criticize someone harshly, that might cause crazies in your audience to go after them. So as a society we should figure out what is and isn't acceptable behavior here, and invent rules to apply universally and impartially.
