Apparently not. I compared the result of the linked site to a Whisper transcription of the same video. While the word-by-word accuracy of the two transcriptions was about the same, the Whisper transcription was punctuated nearly perfectly and therefore much easier to read.

Then it’s better to post nothing than something that could be misleading. Or still post the link to a better blog post and if people don’t click then that’s on them, and least the author has put a more comprehensive argument together.

Otherwise why bother writing up research either? People might just read the abstract. Why bother watching a full baseball game? You can just get the condensed highlights and winner afterwards. Why bother watching a movie? You can watch the trailer for a lot of the great bits and then read a synopsis online.

Plenty of people actually do those things and I guess that’s okay too but there value and good reason to put out the whole product too.
Wait- if you are sick on your annual leave, is that not treated as sick leave in your country?

I would love Elon Musk to stay.

So he can accomplish his mission of destroying Twitter for good, take down BlueSky and all the associated crypto crapware with it, and take down his own other businesses in the process.

Two birds with one stone:

1. The whole idea of social media owned by large private companies that make money out of ads and surveillance will get a big hit, and open ActivityPub-based social media can fill the void left by Twitter (like it should have happened already a decade ago). If only Zuckerberg could also make the same embarrassing mistakes that Musk is making...

2. This arrogant buffoon whose only talent is to exploit people will get out of the way for a while.

So go Elon. Hold on and stay on the sinking ship like a good captain. I'm enjoying both the show and the popcorn.

Drinking moderate amounts of alcohol can be a great way to relax and socialize. Drinking all the time to get through the day can cause serious harm. There's no conflict between these positions.
I'm not sure how anyone can say with a straight face that they trusted and believed in Logan. I would sooner buy a bored ape than crypto from him. These scams are easy to see through I thought. But people ended up spending millions of dollars on it before it was even released?

He started the site you are using right now.
Could it be this was all a publicity stunt to introduce and have welcomed the new CEO that Elon was going to put in place regardless? Am I giving him too much credit? i.e. Make people dislike him even more and then let the people of Twitter think they are voting him out?
Perhaps. But when the world was watching, Messi scored a PK in the quarter-final, the semi-final, and the final.

If I am coaching a national team, I am studying every game in this tournament and learning exactly what characteristics, what combo of players, what scenarios are most likely to generate PKs and going all-in with that strategy. Maybe Argentina's coach already did.
And there have been more than a handful invented in the intervening 60 years.
Well yeah, duh. Of course people can do what they want. Criticizing Musk's (or anybodies) actions is not tantamount to trying to say he shouldn't be allowed to do them (except for the stuff he actually shouldn't be allowed to do, and hopefully gets prosecuted for - mostly violating employment law).

I'm not really sure what you're trying to say here? People should vote with their wallets/service usage but never ever discuss why? Public figures should be able to do whatever they want with no criticism?

Another missing tidbit: when the Mac was introduced in 1984, Object Pascal was the only language supported by Apple to write early Mac software [1].

Apple also shipped a version of UCSD Pascal for the Apple ][ as well.

Nah, why stop now? Just run it into the ground.
I run Linux on my HP laptop. I don't use any proprietary software. So, for myself, I don't see this buy vs. subscribe dichotomy.

By the way, I'm using Linux Mint + MATE and everything works pretty well.

Unfortunately, my work supplied computer is a pretty locked down Windows with a limited corporate approved software selection. Luckily, this selection includes VirtualBox! ;)

So, with VB, I'm able to do all my dev work in a Linux VM (I run both Mint and Alpine..)

You may want to consider trying some Free / Open Source software alternatives to your current setup if you are tired of subscriptions..

When people experience this I wonder if time really does slow down relative to your decision making -- you're able to make more decisions in the same amount of time or make a decision earlier -- or if you just perceive time to have been slower when you experience or recall it, perhaps because more or stronger memories are being created during that time.

I have no idea other than cult of personality. People really seem to take people like Musk and Trump at face value, as if their comments, philosophies, beliefs, positions, etc. are thoughtful things they stand behind and something more than what they really are: mouthpieces to shape what they want at a particular moment or to just blatantly confuse people. It’s a tactic out of Russia’s political playbook. I highly recommend Adam Curtis’ Hypernormalization.

> I am a big Musk critic, but I think his rise demonstrates a genius for hype and PR. The amount of free media and cheap capital that Tesla got was extraordinary, and I think that was down to Musk.

A big falsifying hypothesis from this would be to predict that there are NOT any high-up PR staff of notable quality that have been around him for a long time.

If the PR people around him evince no particular talent for it and have been in constant flux for the duration of Musk's career such that he is the only constant, then yea, there'd probably be something to this.

Otherwise, if there is at least one person that was in his inner circle for a critical period of time that can also be said to have strong PR talent, then it's questionable ... sometimes success is having, on top of other things, the right team.
yup wiki is great thanks for the link
First of all I totally agree with you; the industry has turned to more rent seeking than it did previously. I think park of why this has happened is also related to the transition to cloud computing. This means that unlike earlier versions, modern photo editing software includes cloud storage and computing and therefore you have recurring upkeep costs for the software maker.
Legal cash is not the thing being discussed here, you don't need to shift the goalposts. ;P
We recently had some real discussions about this. It’s worth remembering that designing, building and testing a custom chip runs, for a relatively old density, order 100 million dollars. Add to that the fact it would only be useful for a small subset of the problems your users want to use the machine for and it becomes pretty clear why supercomputer centers go generic as much as feasible. Also bitcoin is a bit of a poor example because the memory requirement for each unit is incredibly small. That’s rarely the case for any kind of meaningful simulation.
Who is Paul Graham and why is it controversial?
Honestly I'd be disappointed if he stepped down. Watching this slow motion train wreck has been more entertaining than anything on Netflix. Cutting his losses and running would be like canceling the third season of some particularly compelling garbage drama show.
But the thing is, all these things are happening not because Twitter is social media; they're happening because Twitter is led by Elon Musk. I'm not saying everything is fine under Zuckerberg or Pichai, but whatever their flaws are, organizations led by other billionaires don't suffer the same kind of pathology as Musk's Twitter. They operate very differently.

So, whatever Musk does, it will not lead to people critically looking at Facebook and Reddit. It will more likely lead to people critically looking at Tesla and SpaceX.

He quickly realized one side had more options so it was unfair and redid it. On the original poll suspend for 7 days and ban combined had more votes that unban - how should you interpret that? Redoing the poll as yes/no was reasonable.

phrom already mentioned the "old subscription-products die" aspect.

The other thing games tended to do, that is basically a subscription, was frequent, sometimes yearly, releases. You just buy this years iteration of fifa or CoD. Playing the latest "version" will on current hardware, just like a subscription. Compare that to Fortnite, where you don't have a choice but play the latest version (i heard they removed building?!? not that i liked it, but that's certainly a change!).
Nope in many companies.

It really depends on what metric you're talking about. That's not true of trans rights or abortion for instance.
> Tesla existed before Musk.

So I've watched the Eberhard interview [1] and the Musk counter-interview [2] and I'm still not decided on this. Did Eberhard do a bunch of useful early-day heavy-lifting only to get elbowed out by Musk once things were ticking along and it was time to take credit? Or was he incompetent and un-invested, forcing Musk to reluctantly take back the reins? I'd love to hear an insider opinion, but I don't know where to look next and I've already spent far too much time today litigating other peoples' bullshit founder drama, lol.

Mastodon Features That Twitter Should Steal (But Won’t)
No, I was commenting on Elon supposedly having a scientific principles first thinking. I guess people assume Paul Graham does, too? I haven’t seen that either, and have been underwhelmed with basically anything I see coming from the VC corners.
We also get direct heating when we burn fossil fuels, but that's a tiny percentage of their greenhouse impact.

> Your ICE car may not start if it's that cold, but it will work like new once it's warmed back up.

no, no it really won't.

It's extremely common to tear CV boots past -40, and the wear and tear you do on the engine in the first few minutes (when the oil has the consistency of butter) is permanent.

If you start your engine at -40 and it's not plugged in multiple ways, you're doing permanent damage. It's really funny to see all the Kias and Hyandais and other "cheap" brands in the Yukon - they last a winter or two before the engines grenade.

Also if your starting battery freezes, it's finished. Hence a battery blanket.

> The solution is simple - just keep your EV plugged in, and it will heat itself as necessary.

It does not have to be plugged in to keep itself warm. Obviously if you let the battery drain that's a huge problem, so you just have to keep an eye on it for those "once or twice" a year days. Not at all unlike an ICE vehicle where if you let the starting battery freeze it's done for.
I don't follow soccer and never will. Messi is clearly an all-time great, maybe the GOAT, but that doesn't change the fact that the penalty kicks introduce too much randomness and a lot of "punishment doesn't fit the crime." Plus the fact that Messi or Mbappe get to shoot the PK even if they weren't fouled. That's why "hack-a-Shaq" was a legit strategy, Shaq had to actually shoot the free throws despite being the worst on his team at it.
He very publicly disbanded the Trust and Safety group at Twitter. It's his baby now.
gaining 5000 users per hour all day today. it's an utter disaster for Musk, pretty much it
> No diving

By what standard was there "No diving"? Do you mean by the standard of "they all dive all of the time, so this wasn't bad relative to that"?

As someone who doesn't watch soccer, saying there was "No diving" beggars belief.
I can't speak to the WSJ, and perhaps it's a good example of the owner not meddling, but using Rupert Murdoch as an example of someone who doesn't meddle in their media empire invites a lot of questions.

Rupert Murdoch's influence is a very hot topic in Australia, with 2 former prime ministers from opposite sides teaming up to try to push a royal commission into his media monopoly, and in particular his influence on elections. Some of the commission is directed at the actions of his properties, but a lot of it is directed at his specific meddling as an individual. There have been many claims of directives and squashed stories coming straight from the top, whether that's from him or Lachlan Murdoch.

So what are the actual benefits of using something like this over something like mastodon or something like pleroma? Are they all just essentially the same thing? I'm starting to wonder now if 'self hosted single user' is a bad way to go as presumably you're almost invisible to everyone unless people are looking at the global feed which I guess is uncommon.
Switch to 1password or something else ? That's the nice part about subscription - when it's about to expire it's easy to switch. Just make absolutely sure you remove payment info from that scammer site - they charged me for a year after I canceled and supposedly "refunded me" when I went to support forums- but never actually saw money refund. Couldn't be bothered to go further but just the fact that they will charge post cancelation is extremely scummy.
“ By this point, the idea of "owning" software feels positively archaic to me”

Just my two cents but your comment here seems like it was pulled out of a future corporate dystopian novel.

Most “subscription” models I see these days are more cash grabs than actual continued support and feature enhancements. Just take a look at the ios app store if you want to see simple apps exploiting a “subscription” model.
Well if the market wants EVs and they don't have them, then they're fucked. They have every incentive to come to an accurate conclusion.
Lex is a kind hearted naive guy. Perfect target for manipulation.
Sure, but that's completely irrelevant. Are we talking about the TSLA stock price, or are we talking about Elon destroying Twitter.

People are very confused about what to be outraged about. They feel as if they should be outraged at a Billionaire, they just can't quite decide what angle to take, and will jump around wildly from one thing to the next.

Also worth nothing TSLA has tracked AMZN almost identically for many months now.
It's a great reactor, it's just too bad the transmission lines go down every night.

>As far as I know, he only exists as a concept which is written about in websites I frequent. I'm a John Carmack Truther. There is no John Carmack. The CIA made him up as part of MK Ultra II. I read it on a very reputable online forum.

That's utterly ridiculous. John Carmack is real, but he's actually an alien from the planet Ka'vi. I know this is true because I read it on an actually reputable online forum (unlike your "reputable" forum). I know my preferred forum is reputable because its other postings agree with my opinions.
Is there a way to see the current results without signing up for a Twitter account?
I remember there was one point when Facebook was blocking links to minds.com.

However, that was quickly explained away as automated spam filter false positive when it was publicized. So even if it happened before, I can't think of any case other than Twitter right now when it was so open and explicit.
Against the rules he came with?
that's on Apple, not on Syncthing. Guess what, when you lock down your devices so much they can't perform many useful functions. Next time, just get a phone you can actually own.
You're using it right. The poster above doesn't like Magic 8 Ball. So how about "abacus"?

An accountant with an abacus is better at accounting than one without, but the abacus has no idea what accounting or math are, it can't even count.

This thing is a remarkable abacus for information from The Pile.

I mean...He's not wrong.

I'm going to get crucified for saying this, but I suspect hybrids will likely be the future, with EV use picking up slowly (if at all) over the next 20-30 years. Not saying EVs are like 3D TVs, but as it stands right now, EVs are far too expensive for the vast majority of the US population. I'm going to focus on the US for now. The readership for hacker news skews wealthier, but I would like you all to pretend to be broke, for just one second.

The cost of a battery pack replacement for EVs are exorbitant, and that battery pack replacement cost all but eliminates whatever potential monetary benefit an individual would derive from driving an EV in the first place. Yes, I know blah blah blah the environment, blah blah blah lower maintenance, but look - broke people already take their car the cheapest mechanic or have uncle joe take a look at it, or just don't maintain it at all. The vast majority of people are going to look and see if its cheaper to buy, own and insure than a regular gas car.

The price of a new battery pack for an EV is exorbitant. A chevy bolt battery pack is 8 grand. A tesla pack costs 15k. Other electric vehicles are in the same ballpark. There is no way to get these battery packs new, other than going to a dealer, because "refurbished" packs just keep failing every 2-3 years and you keep replacing cell by cell playing whack a mole until the next cell fails. Ain't nobody paying 10-15k for a battery. You can buy a whole ass car for that amount of money. The readership for hacker news skews wealthier, I know, but truly, there are a lot of people who buy cars for 5-10k and drive them for the next 8-10 years, with rarely an incident. There are a whole lot of people who have never bought a brand "new" car from a dealership in their life. And until EVs get cheap enough to percolate down to the masses, adoption is going to be at a standstill.

As an aside - The reputation of car brands is made and destroyed in the used car market. the Prius has an excellent reputation because (despite battery pack woes) there are people who drive those things for 300k miles plus, regularly. I guarantee that if an automaker rushes and builds shitty EVs that ultimately end up being pieces of unreliable shit 5-10 years later on the used car market, that is by far the easiest and fastest way to ruin their their company and drive themselves to insolvency. Tesla is on the cusp of learning this, unfortunately.
Are you German? I know in Germany it's treated that way - sick during vacation days? Then you're on sick leave, not vacation...
I'm not arguing anything. But even if I were, I don't know what "leverage" has to do with it.

Last time I checked this is a discussion forum where many people gather together to express thoughts and opinions about various topics that they may not have "leverage" to argue about.
