Wow. Thank you for explaining so thoughtfully. Would you get banned if you say this in Twitter. Why no journalist asks these questions and make people realize it's their money in someone else's pocket.
> I was sad to see it left out of 2022-interop, but it's definitely the biggest feature I'm waiting for

My understanding is the features for Interop were chosen because there wasn't good interoperability between browsers for them.

With CSS Nesting, once the spec (and the syntax) is finalized, it's going to work the same in all browser engines; hopefully it'll go smoothly and we won't need CSS Nesting be part of Interop 2023.
logfile navigator ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33989493 ) does a nice cli/text visual presentation. Can be used to filter out 'noise' before piping output to be reformated / computing additional "stats" / generating appropriate info usable by next command in pipeline via gawk before passing on to other graphing packages such as nroff's graph, gnuplot, ggplot2, pdf/ps template, latex, etc.
They're leaving voluntarily. Musk has cratered Twitter's reputation so hard that even child molesters don't want to be associated with it.
Quite a tale, if entirely fictional.

> Capital that is going going to be harder to raise

Tesla has over $10 billions in cash and adding few billions every quarter. They don't need to raise ever again.

> They had early-adopter success

Yes. Also, they became the largest EV company in the world with 2x margin of other car companies.

> when they had the field to themselves

Nissan Leaf and Bolt EV launched before Model 3.

Jaguar i-Pace, Audi eTron, BMW i5, VW ID.3 and ID.4, few models from Hyundai and quite a few more.

Model 3 and Model Y had plenty of competition for several years.

That competition didn't sell many cars and Tesla did.

> But now every major car company ... are coming for them

More like desperately trying to catch up. Tesla is still ahead of everyone in things that matter, like securing raw materials for batteries, building battery cells, securing battery cells from suppliers, manufacturing (gigacasting, spending less time and money to build a car), building more factories (ramping up 2, soon announcing 2 or more), Tesla Semi with best specs by far, still the best motors, the most efficient cars, the safest cars, building insurance business, shipping more software updates than anyone. This is not a complete list.

The question for the future is not: will Toyota or Honda kill Tesla.

It's: will Toyota and Honda keep up enough to not go bankrupt.
Who said it was a business decision on his part? If Elon Musk just tried to make money, do you think this is the way he would behave?
This is where the government should’ve protected our “town square” by blocking the deal (Elon has too many government military entanglements to be allowed to own a social media company, too many conflicts of interest, and Elon’s past history of using Twitter to flagrantly violate the law).

Expecting the shareholders not to take the money and run is unreasonable.
Boring company was just a scam to undermine high speed rail and prop up demand for tesla.
Umm, pretty sure most of the value of Tesla (his main source of wealth) comes from all their cars, tech, and manufacturing capacity.
So much for free speech. I guess we were wasting our time thinking about how the layoffs would affect the site because it’s not going to survive as Parler 2.0.
Correct. I meant the "2022 Investigation" section of it which accounts for 10% of the grade and focuses on future features
He wasn't a rescue diver, he was the local expert, having mapped the cave and knowing more about its structure than anybody else in the world. he was truly qualified to say that Elon's attempt wasn't going to work and was hogging to much attention.
The Boring Company is a money making machine?? Any evidence of this? It looks like a disastrous failure to me:

Excuse me for being direct, but do you mean to say you don’t care about other people, only whether what they say is accurate and whether they can communicate it without emotional reaction?
Apple is extremely good at being a late mover in key markets. Few even remember MP3 players before the iPod or smartphones before the iPhone. Or look at how the smartwatch market changed after the Apple Watch was introduced.

They also have one of the world's strongest brands, with a lot of dedicated customers. They don't have to compete on price, so despite having 13% of the global phone market, they are making 75% of all smartphone profits: https://www.imore.com/apple-takes-75-smartphone-profits-desp...

I am not an Apple fan and own none of their gear, but even I can recognize how Apple would be a formidable player.

"Think for the children" is the stupidest justification to do anything.
(someone's father)
The worlds richest toddler wants to make everything about him, distracts everyone with a poorly engineered hard case vessel in a cave that the divers had 0 visibility in, had to take tanks off to push through narrow passageways, and on top of it he lashes out with a personal insult. I don’t know what the “insult” was, but it was a terrible design, and a self-proclaimed engineer/inventor genius should have either seen its limitations from miles away or should have been self-aware enough to shut up and learn more about the problem before creating a media circus out of a fragile life-or-death situation.
He doesn't have to, he can just buy his way in.
I wonder, can you ask ChatGPT to write a compelling argument convincing a room full of senior software engineers that they need to switch to a new technology? Or to write a series of Jira tickets to complete a feature?
Time to add GitLab to the list of companies playing in MSFT's sandbox. Whilst VSCode (MIT) is OSS the ecosystem is not open-source and is designed in a way that makes your product a walking, talking, advertisement for GitHub Codespaces. See https://ghuntley.com/fracture
I'm sympathetic to the many newly minted free speech absolutists in this thread, but this sort of banning was always the status quo for right wingers until Musk bought Twitter anyways.
There's already a myriad of ways in which people can communicate and, it seems, when people go against certain narratives set forth by media or the mods or the apparent majority in a given space people get really mad and simply want to eliminate others from "having a platform".

At the end of the day, social networks can and will be done with reasonable people who can hear opposing views without trying to censor or hide them, and they won't need any specific tool but patience.
Well there are a lot of polymaths though, Newton really is not that special. von Neumann, Feynman, Ben Franklin, Steve Jobs etc come to mind.
On the contrary, you can hear Andrej Karpathy explain how other sensors produce noise & are too low bandwidth when compared to vision. Other full self driving systems will probably follow suit & get rid of impossible to calibrate lidar systems.
How are the cameras mediocre? Do you want even higher resolution cameras? This would cause compute turmoil.

Yes, there is. That's one of the great things about Scala's typesystem. It makes those things easy to even write yourself, but there is already something builtin:

https://scalacenter.github.io/scalafix/docs/rules/ExplicitRe...

However, from my experience it's actually better to not annotate most things. I annotate methods are that used very often or are "borders" of my API or interface. Otherwise it is usually not needed because it rarely makes the code more clear and IDEs like IntelliJ actually show you the types inline automatically, so you can always see the return type easily.
And it was forseeable. People were joking that Musk was paying $40B to buy Twitter simply to just down the ElonJet account.
Seems to be more like 2 months (VW's monthly rate is about 700,000 and Tesla's yearly rate about 1.2M).
I'd file this statement alongside the age-old "alcohol doesn't change people it just exposes them" – sounds plausible, but very poorly evidenced.
I’ve known about her for years and didn’t know she was trans until reading these comments. It’s not really part of her music in anyway.
> However, this does indicate a very deep flaw in our existing society i.e. giving certain individuals too much power; either via their job position or capital.

This is exactly the conclusion of a conversation I had with a friend a week ago. Individuals should never have more power than a certain fraction of the rest of us. Between Putin, Trump and Musk a lot of good has been destroyed (and many lives as well).
> I’m referring to brute force. The idea that you can’t reverse a hash seemed so obvious to me that I didn’t feel it necessary to disclaim.

You are confusing hashing with encryption. There is no general way to reverse a hash, be it brute force or an algorithmic method. There are an infinite number of strings that will generate the same MD5 hash. My point is, your for loop may eventually find a string, but it won't be the original AWS secret, so it won't work.
He’s just sincerely gotten into right-wing conspiracism and also gotten the power to ban anyone who criticizes him.
I feel like this was something that he was turned into. Things like the pedo guy comments and the Covid skepticism and a bunch more are genuine criticisms, but for every story of substance there has been a deluge of pure character assassination. Between the years of long work hours and a stream of hot or cold praise or condemnation I think it's quite easy to lose your moral compass.

I think a lot of my friends think I'm a die hard Musk fan when I say a criticism is unfair. I actually just think he's a human being under a microscope coping poorly. I'll support the criticism when I think it's warranted. The is a culture of everything is bad because bad man is bad, that unsettles me.

As for this particular story on HN, I really don't know. Twitter is a chaos box at the moment, It's hard to tell whether Musk is directly involved. These actions (or any actions really) might be policy, edicts from the top, officious middle employees or just plain screw ups.

Just someone explain to me why people are doing totally insane things in the videos like spilling 50-50 liters of ketchup and mayo on the cupboard and then sprinkle it with chocolate flakes? Or melting 10 kgs of butter to cook a steak? Or putting a glass of Nutella in a mortar with the glass in it too and mix it?

Same insanity happening around youtube shorts. Are those view counts mean that much to people?

btw the algo shows me the same videos even after one week. very little variation going on, it's a bit like yt that force feeds me things and doesn't want me to explore what's on the menu.

No, that's not now you should tune the modern JVM.

GC will always happen no matter how much heap size you allocate: large heap size will make GC happen less frequently, but depending on the algorithm, it will also increase how much time is needed for each collection. The key point for GC tuning is to keep total GC time and pause time under control with as little memory as possible.

* First, you have to setup monitoring for the garbage collection time: turn on metrics collection and details garbage collection logging.

* Second, tune your total GC time so that it's under 5% or less. Start with a reasonably small max heap size, says 256MB, and keep increasing it if the GC time is still too large. Try to keep the max heap size under 32GB to take advantage of "Compressed OOPs"

* Third, you only need to use more advance flags if you detect large GC pause in your GC logging. Otherwise, you're done.
Elon Musk has now given an explanation, sort of.

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1603587970832793600

(None of the journalists banned did that: even the ones referencing ElonJet referenced stale data)
He has probably actually been radicalized by Twitter though, instead of just pretending to be. I suspect that he is actually emotionally invested in his chosen side in the “culture war” and feels genuinely compelled to “own the libs” and whatnot.
2 - you bait the line.
I wouldn't disagree. Nesting state and pseudo selectors can clean up code.
Ask HN: How does one make a bit-perfect CD rip in 2022?
I've been doing some cleaning and I've come across a few old CDs of the Magic School Bus edutainment games. I looked on Archive.org and it seems like some of the copies available there are missing the CD Audio portion of the disk due to some sort of incomplete rip. Is there a straightforward way for me to make a bit perfect copy of the disk so that I may do my duty and improve the completeness of the archive? I haven't touched optical media in over a decade, last I checked we were using Alcohol 120% and Daemon tools. What's the state of the art for optical media archival in 2022?

Prefer FOSS but happy to pay for something solid.
Since you are thinking about this in highschool, you are on the right track. There is not a AI dominated future that isn't driven by Software Engineers. You can either be an engineer creating AI/ML tech or an engineer using the AI/ML tech.

There will also be a very long tail of "traditional" software engineering. But if you are still 4-5 years out from your "career" - you probably wont want to count on a traditional software engineering job.
I got into software because it was a good way to solve a broad class of problems. Not because I have some obsession with actually writing code. You can fight the tools and risk becoming obsolete, or you can embrace the tools and adapt to continue to solve problems and deliver value. Just like business users cannot adequately convey requirements to off-shore development firms, they won't be able to get the most use out of ML generated code. They don't know the details of what problems they are trying to solve, nor do they know how to implement the coded suggestions in a production ready capacity. There is still a lot of technical work required to use these tools. The "real" value technical folk provide is being able to decipher and translate business speak to implementation. The only people who should be really worried are those who want to hide in their basement and just program against tickets implementing discrete tasks. The technical folk who actually understand business objectives and are effective at communicating with business folk should still have a long lucrative career ahead of them.
> his dad once held shares in an emerald mine in Zambia

Is not equivalent to

> came from daddy's apartheid era emerald mine money

“Came from” and “apartheid” are doing a lot of work here. That sentence is written in such a way to:

1) imply a not insignificant portion of daddy’s money came from that mine

2) associate that mine with all the bad things we associate with apartheid

3) imply daddy’s money had a not-insignificant impact on Elon’s outcome

4) so it can then associate Elon’s current state with the crimes of apartheid

If the above isn’t true, I have a hard time understanding why GP would mention apartheid or the mine.

While I don't agree with the bans, here's a counter argument.

Will it be ok to ban someone if they tailed a car every day and live-posted the driver's location on Twitter? One can argue that someone with has a plane has more resources to protect themselves. At the same time, they face more threats too.
they don’t have access to his phone, but the twitter app does
he would have been sued by twitter for the full price, and would have had to pay.
> This is why it would be interesting to post public information about politicians collected from the online spyware that tracks all of us. It would rapidly motivate new laws that at least somewhat improve privacy.

I don't think so. The New York Times demonstrated this three years ago, nobody really cared: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/12/20/opinion/locat...
Welcome to the same conclusion that the labour movement came to two centuries ago :)
Of course he deserves sympathy: he called Elon Musk out and in return got showered with the most disgusting personal attack. That alone should have caused Musk to be booted from Twitter. The fact that he wasn't is an oversight - in my opinion, of course.
Chris, I read your blog and many of your posts here. You are a good writer. Please don't stop.

First, it sucks that you are facing that age discrim IRL. In the tech world, "doing talks" is a bit like publishing in scientific research. It builds a brand name for yourself and increases your value. This is why the young and aggressive (and mostly men) want to do it. Plus, it is a form of fame and adoration. The same group wants that too.

Second, I had a idea reading this post: Did you ever consider "doing a talk" with an audience of zero? Record it exactly like you are giving a talk, then post to your blog or YouTube. People would watch it; I know it. The difference: You couldn't mix with an excited, buzzing crowd after your talk, but maybe the comments section would be interesting. If you get lucky (great talk), it will pop-up on HN. For example, you said you are "good at Swift and native Apple stuff". Watch a few YouTube videos on the topic. Find areas of weakness. That is an easy way to generate ideas.
Because the perception is triggering a memory and the memory overtakes the perception as the new reality?
I've generally been a supporter up until now, with some notable exceptions that others have mentioned.

His recent contradictions in regards to his commitments to free speech have certainly burned through a lot of my good will.
If the data were gathered from already public information, I wouldn't have a problem with it. How is synthesizing data that's already public (indeed, required by law to be public) a problem?

Anyone that actually wanted to use this data to harm Musk would have no trouble simply using the exact same original data.
This case is weird and doesn't follow the journalist bans, unless the reason Elon is blocking links to Mastodon is just to block access to ElonJet by any means possible.
Taking software as an example, there will be some practical application for code that's generated, which means there needs to be some analysis of the result. Somewhere along the way there will be a human who reads some output, regardless of how complex the systems are which produce that output. Much of the time, this person is going to have a significant level of technical knowledge. Identify what positions those people will be in and try to fill them.
I believe parent is saying that PTSD is precisely a situation where memories act like perceptions; EMDR as a therapeutic modality with at least some evidence for efficacy is premised on the idea that it helps to make traumatic memories feel like memories rather than perceptions

It is demonstrated in the lab and we are developing a way to assay what’s going on in the open air. Lot of interesting work in this area.
Which is exactly the position that Musk is supposedly fighting against -- it's almost like he has no actual principles and is at best no different than the people he's replacing
People talk about things that matter in a wide variety of places. Twitter matters to the people and communities who are on it, of course, and it's a trendy software company which faces a lot of interesting and newsworthy challenges. But it's hard for me to see a story where some terrible Twitter policy change directly affects the lives of those of us who aren't on it.
I wonder if the Dave Chappelle thing in SF pushed him over the edge or something. He even went and posted cope on his twitter account afterwards
The problem with "AI" here is that it copies like no other. It copies everything and learns everything like a master because it is fed off a us.
> "...he'll apologise. He never did."

He apologised more than once. Including on Twitter and again in court where he looked the guy directly in the face and apologised.

I mean, it was widely reported but somehow you missed the headlines at the time such as Washington Post's "Elon Musk apologizes for ‘pedo guy’ comment: ‘The fault is mine and mine alone’"!
Again, what journalists were censored? And for what reason?
My definition of shit posting is the stuff I say on Reddit. The highest rated comment on my previous account there would likely get me banned here. :)

Edit: I should note that shit posting on Reddit has a long and glorious tradition. It’s expected and highly upvoted.

Thank you for that fascinating read!
After re-reading the tweet, I’m honestly not sure anymore. What a strange situation.
GP didn't say which foreign asset.

The Saudis are major shareholders in Twitter, although personally I doubt they're telling Musk what to do so much as being content to let him run it into the ground; it's a win for them whether Twitter under Musk succeeds or fails.
Not trying to be snarky here, but I'm curious what percentage of the people complaining in this thread also complained about the constant censorship and deplatforming by Twitter pre-Musk? Don't get me wrong, I think it's all bad, both ways, it's just the outcry now is extremely telling.

Do you not believe it was happening before? Or were you not told that it was happening before? Or did you just not care before because it was directed towards people you were told are "bad"?

I wonder how many people in this thread are actual human beings, vs. bots/shills working overdrive to force the narrative through, but that's a topic for another day ..
