Yeah, the post you're responding to is missing that the responses to right-wing concerns about censorship were responding to "principled" free speech absolutism or a desire for government intervention.

There were left-wing critiques of twitter's moderation all of the time, but I don't recall seeing anyone on here advocating for government intervention to tweak it.

Posts like the one you're responding to are parroting the arguments without understanding what the arguments were actually against.

I felt the penalty was a gift from the sponsors but kept watching. France almost overcame that thumb on the scales, and I’m glad I didn’t tune out.

Blocking direct competition is one thing, but what if Twitter starts blocking tweets about VW electric vehicles and promoting tweets about Tesla? It's a very strange setup - although not that different from Bezos' and the Washington Post removing all investigative journalism into the CIA / NSA while AWS seeks large services contracts from those government entities.

There's not really a lot to say because it's Musk's behavior that's "low quality". A debate won't change anyone's mind, either, as we've seen that there's no consistent position to defend. It's just whims. So all that's left is to point and laugh.
Yeah it's a two way street: some people might go from twitter to Facebook, but others might come from Facebook to Twitter.
I can get behind some of these, because it's always been common sense not use them, but it feels like they're just mixed in there to lend legitimacy to the nonsense next to them.
> I feel for all information to be locked away in a YouTube video.

Google Search actually indexes transcripts of a video and shows you some YouTube results based on that even though the title/description of the video doesn't match the search query.
Yes, cars are less space efficient. However, what is the objective line of "too space inefficient", and are cars over that line? If not, why should one care? We aren't optimizing for "most space efficient as possible", there are other factors in the mix.

Despite all the complaining, Western society seems to generally be accepting of the space inefficiency of cars as it currently stands. And computer modelling has shown that, all other things being equal, autonomous vehicles are expected to increase the capacity of existing roadways.

Also, don't forget that a lot of people want to get around in a car, regardless of bus/train availability, despite what your personal feelings on the subject might be. However, don't get me wrong here, a lot of people also want to get around on foot, by bike, and by bus. Admittedly these options are lacking in most Western urban environments. We should also be building up these options for the people who want to use them. Transportation doesn't have to be a winner-take-all, one-solution-for-everyone fight. Different people want different things, and there's no reason that transportation options shouldn't reflect this.

“You guys” is the plural form of “you” for most speakers of colloquial American English, and is completely ungendered, in an empirical sense: if you observe native speakers speaking naturally and colloquially, you will find that everyone who uses it (regardless of gender) uses it consistently to address groups of multiple people (regardless of gender).

It’s derived from the noun “guy”, which is indeed often gendered. But etymology doesn’t determine meaning. Otherwise we would have to conclude that “woman” is male-gendered because it etymologically derives from “man”.

Making “you guys” taboo seems to be a cultural phenomenon specific to certain industries. I’ve asked several of my friends, and never encountered one outside of tech or academia who thought “you guys” was problematic at all. In fact, the vast majority had never even heard of the issue or imagined that it could be controversial.

I'm pretty bad at social media but this seems like a big mistake. Twitter is a powerful social media tool but it's also just one tool. Banning instagram links from Twitter is like a hammer trying to ban a screw driver from your toolbox. If Twitter did everything instagram does (or Facebook or Reddit or Medium/Substack/WordPress) then from a usefullness standpoint they can make a case.

> This may be too meta, but there are a number of topics where I find the HN comments really low quality.

I agree. I'm not sure why, but there's something about Musk's behavior that really irks a lot of HN readers.

To be honest, for some reason I can't pinpoint [0] I feel a tremendous sense of schadenfreude against Musk. Hopefully that hasn't affected my comment posts too much.

[0] I'm somewhat politically conservative, so I don't think it's that. I'll have to reflect on this.
Yes, and that's one more reason to stand by them. If they phase out the 'free' tier that I've been using for pianojacq.com I will be happy to pay.
I haven't followed this but I will take anyone's word for it that Coffee did break the story and cause the NYT to take notice, and that was great work.

I think the objection is to the image of major media outlets living in fear of the Paul brothers. They regularly publish negative stories on people with much better lawyers, more influence, and scarier extralegal muscle.
What a fucking chode
I'm going to take the minority position here (no pun intended), and say that I think these initiatives are in fact helpful and important.

I recently joined an engineering team where there's a cultural norm of not using the word "guys" to address a group. When I first heard this, I kinda rolled my eyes but got on board.

It took a tremendous amount of mental effort to weed that word out of my vocabulary, but it's had a tangible effect on my mentality. It has completely reaffirmed my belief in the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis--our language influences how we think.

Intentionally changing the words and phrases we use is one of the most powerful tools we have for changing our behavior, and correcting both logical and social biases.

Homelessness is part of the problem, but the real Crux is a large number of unemployable people in one of the most expensive metros in the world.

The only long-term viable solution is for people to relocate to locations with more opportunities for unskilled labor and a new market equilibrium.
That's my recollection, too.

I think Instagram wasn't annotating their pages with either OpenGraph metadata or Twitter card metadata, and so you got a bland link vs a rich preview.

It seems like Instagram _were_ publishing og:image tags at one point, but then removed it. See, for example, this 2019 reddit post [1].

Instagram then announced a change to this policy in December of 2021 [2] and now annotates with og:image again.

>”So you're advocating censorship of these voluntary guidelines?”

Censorship, no. But I’ll be upfront and say that I think the vast majority of the suggestions in this guide are unjustified, unnecessary, and serve to provide a chilling effect on how people are allowed to speak about the world. I do believe the ultimate goal is not just to police language, but to police how people think. A cursory look at the rationale behind each suggestion supports this.

Therefore, I hope likeminded people speak out about how this guide should not be followed. And that people vociferously oppose that this document be referenced in any official guidelines.

Just as there is no legal requirement to write using Chicago or AP style, they have become de facto requirements. So I worry that just having it be “voluntary” will lead to academics pushing it as a soft requirement that eventually becomes a hard one that is voluntary in name only.
Exactly. Most people, including Putin, don't engage in the same level of unserious behavior that Elon Musk does.

I believe they “just work.” Electric motors don’t stop working at low temps. I think it’s mostly just range that’s impacted since EVs can’t use the inefficient part of an ICE (e.g. energy produced by gas not captured by the powertrain) for heat, so they have to run heat pumps. (Along with battery chemistry not working as well in low temps)

He’s thrown in as a movement conservative. You could tell because what he described as infringements on freedom of speech weren’t just wrong but consistently inaccurate matching the ways they were portrayed in the right-wing media.

I’m not sure what galvanized him but have wondered whether it is as simple as the transgender rumors (Grimes, his daughter) being true. Given his wealth it’d be natural for him to be a low tax/regulation Republican but he’s clearly way more motivated by the culture war and the QAnon end at that. Taking this as a personal affront would explain him being so willing to risk everything else just to hurt the people he sees as enemies.
Yeah, I did bear that in mind, but I think there are two conversational directions going on here: "I want an SBC that can drive 8K video for $reasons" and "wow, a $400 arm64 desktop that just needs more RAM to be worth the hassle". I'm in the 2nd camp, and it wouldn't be a dealbreaker for the first camp unless using DIMM chips on an SBC is somehow cost prohibitive. I can believe it is, because hardware markets are weird, but if they could charge me $10 extra to use DIMM slots on that board, then they'd have my money because I could pack it full of RAM and not bother them about it

All this stuff comes from "critical discourse analysis", a pseudointellectual and almost cult-like movement within academic research, which is receiving no pushback because no one knows about it. People are too busy focusing on the end-product (this Stanford webpage, or some politicians' tweets, or a Smithsonian exhibit) rather than the root cause.

Ridding academia of pseudoscience goes beyond fixing p-hacking. These academic fringes are intellectually defective and have large real-world influence. Academia tolerates pseudoscience far too much, and that should be addressed.
Not to be a buzzkill, but being fooled by randomness is a thing that should at least be mentioned here. Of course Taleb has more to say on the matter in [1].

> The name "dotted list" comes from how the list is serialized, yes, but not the concept.

Yes, it does. Dotted lists are entirely related to serialization. The only reason they matter is that, by convention, (a b ... z) is a shorthand notation for (a . (b . (... (z . nil)) ...) and (a b ... z . anything-but-nil) is a shorthand notation for (a . (b . (... (z . anything-but-nil)) ...)

> You can write a function dotted-list-p

Of course you can. So what? You can write a predicate for any (computable) property. I can write a function list-ends-in-3-p. That doesn't mean that lists that end in 3 matter.

The reason "dotted lists" are called dotted lists is entirely because of their serialization behavior: dotted lists have a dot in their serialization and non-dotted-lists don't. And the reason that the I/O behavior is what it is is that it turns out that punning cons cells as linked lists is a useful hack (or at least it was in 1958). But it is only a hack. There is no reason that the data structure used to represent pairs has to be the same data structure that is used to represent linked lists. Indeed, one could argue that this punning is actually a serious mistake. There should be pairs, with CAR and CDR fields which can take on any value, and there should be (linked) lists, with a FIRST field that can take on any value, and a REST field that is restricted to only contain another linked list (including a privileged empty list object). In such a design, the whole concept of "dotted list" would be non-sensical. You could still write (a . nil) or (a . ()) but that would no longer be the same object as (a), the former being a pair and the latter being a list.

So you see the concept of dotted list is rooted entirely in an I/O hack that John McCarthy invented back in 1958 so he could build linked lists out of punned pairs rather than make them a separate data type.

> NIL is not weird, it is an ordinary symbol, like NIK or NIM

No, NIL is not an "ordinary symbol". NIL is both a symbol and a list. NIL answers T to LISTP. No other symbol does that. You can call CAR, CDR, LENGTH, ASSOC etc. on NIL and not get an error. You cannot do that with any other symbol.

NIL is the only symbol to which you cannot give a function binding. In some implementations, attempting to do so triggers its own error message:

Clozure Common Lisp Version 1.12.1 (v1.12.1-10-gca107b94) DarwinX8664
? (defun nil () t)
> Error: Using NIL as a function name is silly.

Also, NIL answers T to LISTP but not to CONSP. So you can call CAR and CDR on it but not RPLACA and RPLACD. And, at the risk of stating the obvious, NIL answers T to NULL.

NIL is the only object with these properties. That is the very definition of "weird". (And note that I have made no reference to implementation details here.)

> The matter at hand is very basic

No, it isn't, or we wouldn't be arguing about it.
I got off the waitlist on Post a few weeks ago and am really disappointed. It’s a giant anti-Musk diatribe no matter who I follow. It’s the worst parts of Twitter, just more concentrated. If that’s their target market, then so be it, but I tried something new to get away from that angst, not wallow in it. Post’s features are also clunky, but that’s understandable with a new product.
> the everything app concept has never really worked outside China

Grab and Careem are both decent attempts at it
Serious question: If you find them subpar, why do you keep reading the comments in threads about Twitter?
Forgive me for being stupid, but why would any consumer want an "everything app"? It's not exactly a compelling need I've ever heard anyone express.

Yes, multiple things can be combined, but if it works, probably just coincidence.
This is the freenode debacle all over again. I'm here for the entertainment but it won't end well for Musk.
Gab not banned either
Meta (FB) doesn't ban links to blogs or other social media but heavily throttles (lock it) it until you start paying for it. Here is the comic that explains it better https://theoatmeal.com/comics/reaching_people Also, links are not clickable on Insta. Similarly, WhatsApp also block if URLs/images/vidoes if shared too many times (at least in India, there is some rule or something like that for Fake news, I forgot the details but they use AI and mods to throttle WhatsApp for sure )

> whitespace

> Assigns value connotations based on color (white = good), an act which is subconsciously racialized.

How exactly is whitespace good? It's like they pick out every word where "white" is used and say "but wait1!!!11! you can't use this because you're reinforcing the dynamic that white=good"

It's like they're telling people "don't think of the white elephant" with this white=good thing. Nobody was thinking about it before they brought it up, now we're thinking about it

In order for anyone to "get the message" of this and be able to create their own rules, they have to internalize the idea of white=good. Wasn't this the exact reason for creating the rules in the first place, that is to say not telling people white=good?

edit: I don't think the point of this is to come up with a system that makes sense, the point is to come up with a system that doesn't make sense. The point is to be as contradictory and annoying as possible in order to get as much attention as possible. If stupid people in academia want to be annoying and act like children, they should just be ignored and treated like the children they are. We're in the wrong here even giving these people attention to begin with
There currently is no "cure" for cancer. Patients can get to the NED (no evidence of disease) stage, but cancer comes back unless resected early enough.

The author has personal experience. Do you?
Anyone want to take bets on how long it'll be before Twitter prohibits listing your pronouns in your bio? Elon has a real axe to grind about pronouns and it'd be an effective way to antagonize people he doesn't like for no reason, which increasingly appears to be his entire business plan for Twitter.
That bit about comments is not true, and is rather important, because adding noise comments damages the signal/noise ratio of discussion.
Also “anonymous” does not mean the same enough to replace “blind” - anon could mean “giver of test does not know subjects” or “subjects do not know what they are testing”.
Oh come off it already.

Those people never had a fall from grace, there was never a point to commenting on them like that.
Musk gets this kind of scathing critique because of the baseline. Many people here believed the hype, so they feel obliged to shake it off and shout it from the rooftops.

Putin on the other hand is just a murderous dictator which is basically the consensus, so nobody feels the need to repeat this.
The one application of NFT's that I really like is CryptoKitties. Basically you can buy some NFT's and then "breed" them to mint new NFT's.

The problem with that project and really all NFT projects is that they are way to expensive. If a CryptoKitty could be had for $5-10 then it would be a fun game, but when each NFT runs you into the hundreds and thousands of dollars, it stops being a game and starts being an investment vehicle.

It would be like if Magic the Gathering sold individual cards for $150 and to build an entire deck you would need about $10k. If that were the case, MTG would not be a popular game and everyone in it wouldn't be in it for the game, they would just hope their cards go up in value.

TL;DR - NFT's can be a great thing, the prices just need to come back down to earth.
