He's also posted internal Twitter screenshots, allegedly showing a VP was personally involved in @ElonJet moderation. (In the context of an earlier moderation action -- visibility filtering ("VF")).

- "A screenshot of what he claimed was an internal Slack channel showed Ella Irwin, the person appointed to replace Yoel Roth as Twitter’s new head of trust and safety, asking a “Team” to “please apply heavy VF to @elonjet immediately."

In terms of scale, maybe. But, as they say, "China has the world's poorest Chinese people." Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong (for example) have much higher standards of living than the PRC, despote starting from more or less the same low level in 1900

From the POV of a European the most annoying part of the american right calling the liberal mainstream social progressive values "far-left", is that it feels like a redefinition of what left means. Its like when Biden broke the rail strike by force or how they all despised Bernie for suggesting healthcare reform.

Americans are so completely uneducated about politics that they think Biden or Obama are on the far-left, its remarkable, they aren't even social democrats.
AR just has a better value proposition to me. Would be cool to just wear some glasses that do real time language translation and provide captions; also a better google lens that automagically translates pictures and signs into another language.

A lot of very weird vote brigading happening in this thread.

It's pretty clear Elon wants everyone that has insulted or crossed him or otherwise proven him wrong to suffer some consequence to alleviate his bruised ego. Fauci, ElonJet, and more

Think I'm wrong? Let's see if he'll go after Jack Dorsey in the future for recently correcting him on going after CSAM.
I said people like Musk, don't try to dictate the terms of a discussion.

And there's more than enough evidence of him doing just that. [0]

I believe #1 can be explained by him already being (and having been, pre-acquisition) one of the top followed accounts on Twitter, same as Trump during his days.
Sure, they all do what they want, and also I have to decide whether it's worth following him to pollute my twitter feed or not.

So far I believe that I'm getting more value by still following that person, and also it's great to see some opposing viewpoints to other people on Twitter. I just wish it was a bit more nuanced.
The thing that changed perceptions of him was that the media that spent all of its time praising and adoring him for being rich, suddenly called two-minutes hate after he took control of a Democratic Party and administration aligned media outlet and threatened to loosen that control.

I can't stand billionaires and would smile if Musk died in a fire, and I resent the government-fueled blackshirts that are forcing me to constantly defend him. Musk is this week's Hitler for the wealthy upper middle-class center-left and their stupid children.
Sure, but the problem gets significantly worse as the threat gets larger. "Disown the billionaires" obviously results in a far stronger reaction than "let's stop some of your influence".

If you can't even do the later the former is obviously impossible.
They broke all these rules when releasing “the Twitter files”
Exactly, this is the biggest problem with modern universities.

I wish billionaires would fund things like this directly as in no patent no nothing, just from the goodness of their hearts, which they claim is there seeing how much they all pledge to charities... But the reality is different, Oxford pledged to donate the rights to their covid vaccine for free then was urged by the bill & melinda "foundation" to reverse course and sold it to pharma companies.
That's not a great analogy. Nobody "placed" any sort of tracking on his jet. The plane publicly broadcasts its location information out in the open. Somebody just looked at the information and tweeted it.
I swear I read the same article about my generation when I entered the workforce, about how millennials were expected to be magic tech wizards by growing with the internet through osmosis
Going write-only on Twitter (and introducing autopost)
At work we have an asynchronous standup meeting every morning. I found it pretty hard because I spend the intervening time thinking about other things and my memory isn't 100% clear about where I was last night.

In contrast I am often really engaged with what I am doing at quitting time and have a very good idea what I am going to do next.

I reconcile this by writing my standup report with sections titled "I did..." and "I plan to..." at the end of the day with the expectation that these won't align 100% perfectly.

This is not only good for explaining to the team what I am up to but it in the morning it helps me get back up to speed.

For side projects I:

(1) use a limited range of tools and get into good habits when it comes to setting tools up. For instance you can get driven crazy with Python if you don't have good habits with venvs. Doing a side project to "learn a new programming language" is an almost certain way to make a project that accomplishes nothing else. I use the same tools I use at work as much as I can.

Almost everything I write has a configuration file in a ".something" directory in my home directory, since I've made it a habit it is easy to clone my code on a server or another dev machine, create a new instance.

(2) I write a lot of runbook documentation and I'm also disciplined about project setup. Sometimes I dread bringing a project out of mothballs after 9 months but time and time again I find my docs, follow them step by step and I up 'n running pretty fast.
Here's a Venn diagram of two "worth it" reasons, not mutually exclusive:

I'd argue if you live in first world, earn a living from tech, even if you don't care whether you pay for things vs. be tracked, it's worth the subscription, in the sense of, it's enough better to be worth paying for as a better tool, not just because there's no gaming of the SERPs above the fold. The Lenses are impressive, but it's not just that, the results are what one used to appreciate from web search. After getting used to the quality, the lower quality of Google or the Bing derivatives like DDG will frustrate you.

If you dislike adtech or value privacy, it's worth the subscription, because there are no ads and no tracking. (Also, unlike neeva, to which I also subscribe, it's not an ad-alternative model from former ad-tech people.)
The fact that the author had nothing to write about, but then turned it around by writing about the fact that there was nothing to write about shows how consistent the author is for writing his blog.

That itself is a quality to admire, keep the hustle going man!
This argument makes very little sense to me.

In a way both 400 and 20 are approximations to 420 (the first a subobject, the second a quotient), but the existence of 420 does not mean that either 400 or 20 are any "less" existent.

The same argument applies to all the theories presented as "the laws of physics". (yes, these laws are not determinate, but they are not inexistant)
The "f*cked up" quote comes straight from the document, though.

I was about to comment on how delusional SBF must be to be this deep in trouble and not snap out back out to reality, leaving aside that "edgy teenager" or whatever mien he's been exhibiting. Is he actually aware of his situation?

Perhaps the move to Fox Hill will help him come to terms with what he's done.
I can’t tell if you are trolling or actually that delusional. Either way, this information is public.

Semantics around banning or suspending pretty much work out to the same.

If you are trolling congrats, I took your bait. It’s a slow Wednesday here in Colombia.
Several things to unpack here.

Regarding the environment, every single action a human does, from building huts to skyscrapers, affects the environment. I don’t see the earth as a living creature, I see it as a ball of rock. If humanity went extinct, in the blink of an eye all the damage and changes we did to the earth would be meaningless. I want to keep the environment amenable to humans only because I want humans to exist - the earth is not a goddess, it is unthinking and unfeeling matter.

Regarding developing countries, more people in the last 100 years were lifted out of poverty than in all time, and that was directly because of capitalism.

Marx was a good philosopher and historian. However I fundamentally disagree with the labor theory of value, because all value is subjective. There is no direct mapping between labor cost and value to the consumer, labor is simply an input cost. You can create something with enormous value with very little labor.
The propoganda vibes are pretty high for me.
Why is republishing this information unethical and immoral? (Your words)
I just use FF and leave the stock OS browser (typically Edge or Safari) "clean", ready for those battery-saving times.

The other day I only had a 20W laptop charger, which I know is only enough to slow down battery discharge with FF; used Edge, and the battery actually charged significantly. Same experiences I had with Safari. I'll keep using Firefox, because it's good for the ecosystem, but when battery is an issue, I switch.
ElonJet has a website with links to still available versions of the data here: https://grndcntrl.net/links/
Oh, so you can provide another example of Elon directly saying he would do X and then turning around and doing not-X a month or so later with no sort of intervening events that would justify an about-face? I can't think of any.
I read it's because the FAA has a list of flights that cannot be displayed on sites like that, called LADD: https://www.faa.gov/pilots/ladd

> The Administrator shall, upon request of a private aircraft owner or operator, block the registration number of the aircraft from any public dissemination or display, except in data made available to a Government agency, for the noncommercial flights of the owner or operator.
How is it any different than paparazzi?

Problem here is that there are clearly free speech bounds, but Elon Musk has campaigned publically about being a "free speech absolutist" which would entail not curbing any form of speech.

You can always find compelling arguments for banning speech or forms of speech and we'll continue to draw and redraw lines as a society. But you can't go around claiming to have some absolute principle and then renege on it any time it hurts your feelings and continue to be respected. Can you think of anyone else who has their flights tracked? Are Bill Gates' flights tracked? Why do you think that is?

Also being a public figure means that you lose some amount of privacy. If he doesn't want all this drama he could just stop talking and being a highly prominent public figure. Now we're just going to get a flight tracking website instead, probably with new features.

I think there are at least two problems with your alternative argument, if not more. The first problem is Elon Musk is politically connected and operates in the public sphere as a highly political person. The second problem is that there isn't anything that prevents people from tracking other rich people like they do Elon, except that nobody cares about what they do because they don't do things like buy Twitter. If you want a change I think you have to make private flight information unavailable, but until then I don't see any real problem with it. Stop flying a private jet if you don't like people posting where you are flying to and from. There isn't anything that prevents someone from reporting everywhere I go except that nobody cares. Hell, I self-report it on Yelp.
> I never really understood why his financial backers would knowingly light a pile of money on fire

Think about FTX, cryptocurrencies, Juicero... it's becoming pretty overwhelmingly clear that having money is not in any way correlated to being able to spend it intelligently. It's time to start seriously thinking about wealth caps.
The Online Safety Bill, going through Parliament, is very clear that is not sufficient.

Every site on the internet will need to independently take your credit card details or some quack like face recognition app, or make it's content safe for thirteen year olds.

And it will achieve nothing, but be a disaster. But this is real. This is before Parliament, right now, and the only opposition is that it's not draconian enough.
The noteworthiests bits are government entities directing censorship of private speech.

Yes, Twitter is a private platform. But is it legal for the government to aid them in their censorship effort?

Suppose Twitter had a policy against religious speech. Would it be legal for the government to identify instances of religious speech on the platform and forward it on to Twitter moderators, knowing it will certainly be removed?

If you think that would be legal, would your mind be changed if the government helped Twitter to develop its rules against religious speech?
MSNBC talked about it so much yesterday my eyes were glazing over. I saw at least three different astrophysicsts/professors.

Class action suits are a thing.
I can speak as someone who was in the same situation as the teens. This is about the time that the kids begin to cotton on to the fact that things aren't quite right. Really, this is the point at which the parent has to start lying (as opposed to saying something like "oh I work for the government") or trust to their children's discretion. The kids' entire raising up to this point has normalized strong patriotism and a parents' inconsistent presence as a result of that patriotism. This likely came as no real shock to them.

This is a different world and I didn't realize how different until I went away to college.
Yeah, maybe Twitter instituted a new rule (not public) that you can't track Elon Musk's flight patterns.

Follow the rules, people.
I don't, actually, I just assumed it because both articles are called "Adventures in Teletext Recovery"...
The economics of open source needs to change if developers are going to be able to actually make a living spending most of their time on it. There are just too few dollars coming into the front end of the pipe.

People who don't bat an eye at paying $10 for lunch will balk at paying $10 for a software license for some tool or app that saves them a ton of time and effort. Until this changes, open source contributors will continue to struggle to capture some of the few dollars floating around. Too many will just decide that it just isn't worth it.
This is more or less in line with what Dr. Alok Kanojia of HealthyGamerGG is saying.

The feeling of wanting to give up is an evolutionary adaptation to not engage in activities that have a low probability of success.

Unfortunately stuff like filing taxes or getting to work on time are relatively recent things, so our minds can't estimate the benefits of that intuitively.

One way to get out of this is to think about the outcome. It's easier to do something if the end result will be satisfying.
I always feel dirty following the latest Twitter news. It feels like reading the tabloids at this point. But anyway, is there anyone that still buys the free speech angle from Musk? So far, he has just brought back some right wing accounts, removed some left wing accounts, and took on personal vendettas, like this.

I think Twitter may actually end up making more money in the future. Musk seems to be able to market his companies very effectively. I’m assuming there is significantly more interest in the going ons at Twitter since he took over.
This is the definition of Orwellian, what a bizarre way to defend this.

> But if we drop this constraint and design widgets with their own consistent style within the same app

Style is just one of many things. And it's extremely hard to properly code your own consistent UI toolkit.

On top of that every platform has a myriad of platform-specific behaviors that people expect and that you will get wrong in yours. Accessibility is the big elephant in the room. But even things like secondary focus in prompts/dialogs on MacOS (that Apple's own Catalyst and Swift forget about) is a bitch and a half to get right.
They probably do, they also use satellite imagery and AIS data to track cargo loading/unloading in ports and whatever else there is out there of data which might say something about the economy or specific companies or sectors or whatever.
The next time you use a Swing app, look for these examples of how it "pulls it off well":

* The first time any particular window is opened, Swing draws the contents but then changes its mind about the window size, recalculates the layout and then redraws the contents again slightly differently.

* When Swing creates a window, you can sometimes observe how creates it in the wrong spot and then moves it to where it was supposed to be created.

* Alt-tabbing quickly between two windows in a Swing application doesn't always work. It sometimes just glitches and leaves you in the window you started with. (Confirmed just now on Windows 10 with Java 17. The bug has been there for many, many years.)

* When opening a submenu of a menu, Swing does nothing to handle the problem of the menu closing again as you're moving towards it but accidentally mouse over an adjacent item. Platform GUI toolkits solve this either with a delay or by tracking the direction of the movement. IntelliJ implements its own menu bar to make this work.

* Try to find an example of a window that is resizable in only one direction or only up to a certain maximum size. As far as I can tell, this is not possible in Swing, and applications handle this limitation by designing all UIs to be resizable even when it doesn't make any sense.
should click on the link -- "The linear mixed models were adjusted for sociodemographic, clinical, and lifestyle variables."

There were a number of variables they also found to mediate and moderate the results including age and diet.
Most (all?) of the examples here shown are from the first days after release, many if not all the responses have significantly changed since then.

We would need a way to track and compare how it answer the same question weeks apart.
Interesting. Fleming actually worked for Naval Intelligence, I always thought he took those terms from there. The 'M' allegedly came from his mom.
Is half the problem that gen Y grew up with email as a communications platform and had actual computers with actual mice and actual software installed on said computers.

Gen z may be plugged into their phone, but a phone is a far cry from the tech that is actually used on the office. And Tik Tok isn't like an Excel spreadsheet.

Further, prior generations had to write letters etc which transfers across to email in a professional setting more than YOLO lol .

Commies use the "but that wasn't real communism" phrase all the time, but the point is that it will never be achieved. At least not for any substantial amount of time. It's utterly unnatural. Societal entropy returns it to a resting state every time.
This is one of the great conundrums of AI research. The human brain is a physical construct of neurons flooded with electrochemical fluids. Thinking and remembering are physical processes that must absolutely be replicable in a manufactured device and, by extraction, simulated in software. It's just really, really hard and we have no idea how to do it after decades of research. Instead, we get tools like ChatGPT, Alexa, Deep Blue and even Google search that completely sidestep the challenges of replicating human thought and instead use sophisticated heuristics and vast amounts of training data to synthesize human thought based on everything we've ever written down. It's all very complex and clever attempts to mimic the outputs of human thought without any actual thinking. And frankly, they've gotten way farther with this approach than I would have thought possible. Google and Alexa can very reliable solve math problems by recognizing the input type as a special case to hand off to a specific set of subroutines for calculating. But true human-like intelligence is still very, very far off.
Dozing a person’s whereabouts isn’t free speech - yes I know you can fish this information out but it’s obvious this is intended to make it easy to figure out where he is. I’m amazed at the replies to this thread arguing this is a speech issue, especially considering the obvious need for heightened security due to what I’d imagine is a flood of death threats.
I think it's likely that this was reported and actioned without looping in Elon, and it will end up getting undone when raised to Elon.
If any RED TEAMers are reading this: what is your process of coming up with ways to trick these AI systems (ChatGPT, dall-e, lambda, and maybe non-NLP ones)?

Also, if you feel comfortable sharing, how did you get your job and how do you like it?
Sometimes I feel like these public figures should be tracked even more - like who has been on Epstein's flight / island and should get a hard drive check.

In theory the various intelligence services and the FAA have this information, but it's not acted on.
The problem with this is unless you drag in something like Electron, you're inevitably going to end up using (or writing) something that just doesn't have the number of maintainers and quality development as either the native UI or an embedded webview. There's nothing with the level of development of e.g. Qt for Rust.

Which means "unsexy" things like accessibility get left by the wayside. And your users suffer.

Writing a UI kit is a huge task. It's one of those things (like so much else in our industry) where you can fairly quickly climb "stupid mountain" by getting a pile of shiny widgets on the screen; but then you look out over the valley below and realize that, holy, crap there's a whole other mountain range of things that a UI kit has to do.

It's also a tough story for Rust, in particular, because copying what other people have done with other toolkits won't really cut it. Rust's ownership semantics and general opinions don't necessarily accord well with the highly object oriented and event-loop / object-tree structure of most existing GUI toolkits.

Aside: I still don't understand why things like Electron based apps are so bloated. They seem to static link whole chunks of their own (forked) Chromium. But both Windows and Mac OS ship native webview components as part of their system which can be used instead. I've done this myself (used Edge's Chromium webview component in a VST synthesizer, and equiv webkit stuff on Mac) and binary sizes were entirely reasonable. Linux was a slightly more complicated story.
