Starlink would be the military industrial complex's wet dream, there's no way both parties aren't on board by default.
I asked you some technical questions on this forum or another, it was some time ago. You were answering others around me so I got the distinct impression you really didn't want to answer. Wish I could recall the question haha. I vaguely remember you had a benchmark on the site or videos that really didn't show what you thought it showed.

I don't want to poopoo your product, but the material you've provided does not give me confidence to try it. Claims are all very well, you need to show your working and get it right.

Something like postgres has a lot of people working on it, plenty who understand it and the various performance tradeoffs. Remember someone demoing how postgres could achieve much better performance than some competing models by turning off all the important stuff that makes it transactional and atomic and reliable.
The Steam Deck isn't really just a PC, it's a PC with a lot of hacky overlays to try to get it to operate like a console.

Here's the Steam Beta patch notes from September 22, 2022, it says they added 3 features:

"Added external display output resolution and refresh rate selection UI in Display Settings (requires Steam Client Beta)

Automatically avoid problematic resolutions like 4096x2160 or 30Hz modes on external displays)

Fixed aspect ratio and resolution not properly switching in the Steam UI after reconnecting an external monitor"

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1675200/view/3308480...

It took Value from the Deck's launch in February 25 to September 2022 to have buggy beta support of features you would need to make it usable on a 4k TV, such as giving the user the option of changing the resolution to 1080p.

Previously if you plugged the Deck into a 4k TV you'd have to run everything at 4k because there was no resolution switching.

It's widely speculated the Steam Deck Dock was delayed until October 6 2022 because Valve knew their software for 4k TVs was not ready.

It's been a month or two since I retested my Steam Deck with a 4k TV, so perhaps some updates have improved things, but last time I tried it the experience was frustrating.
Man sits up late every night shitposting and firing people on his new $44B social network, yet no way he’s sitting there banning people because they were mean to him. Utterly inconceivable!
It's not what Free Speech means, but in the run-up to his buying Twitter, that's all it seemed to mean in many of the discussions. Of course, we know that they weren't serious about such things as shown by their silence in the face of Elon's actions.
The sudden spike of the use of the word "journalists" as a slur from the right is pretty wild to see in real time.
I predict in the coming days, the conspiratorialists will claim this is all 4D chess. Personally, I think Hanlon's Razor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon%27s_razor) is as sharp as ever.
> “I drove my car off a cliff to really stick it to society”

Strawman.

And the wailing and gnashing of teeth continues. You sound like a nasty, sick person xcrunner529. They don't make a jab for that.

EDIT: I will give you the benefit of the doubt though, in the spirit of this website. Perhaps you are not naturally like this, but that you have just been radicalized by hateful rhetoric from violent extremists that I see going around all too often these days. And you're lashing out here because you're being precious about the fact you've been lead to believe incorrect things about the vaccines and virus so many times. If that is the case I wish you the best in your recovery.
A lot of what you'd use reflection for in GC languages is done with macros/code generation at compile time in Rust. For example, rather than using reflection to map objects to something like JSON to serialize, Rust has a library called serde (https://serde.rs/) that lets you annotate structs and enums and generate conversions at compile time that you can use. I wouldn't go so far as saying that there's no possible legitimate use of reflection, but I do wonder how much could be happening in Java and C# and Go that's so dynamic that you wouldn't be able to reason about it in advance. I think most of what reflection is used for in those languages _could_ be done at compile time, but it would both require a way to express it (via macros, codegen, or something like that) and be worth the extra compile time in order to save runtime. Rust's ethos is to try to optimize as much as possible for runtime efficiency even at the expensive of compile time, and while there can be (and often are!) ways to opt out of this for a given feature, it's almost never the default.
For those of us who wondered what form of governance Twitter 2.0 will have, I think it's now safe to say it won't be based on any particular set of rules, principles or ethics. It will be totalitarian -- whatever Elon feels like at any particular moment in time.
Oh, just like when pre-Musk Twitter banned NY Post/journalists over a true story about Hunter Biden's laptop. I don't see how an anti-doxxing rule banning people tracking Elon Musk's whereabouts is worse.
Time to go shopping for a bulldozer then. Thanks for doing the hard work on that one.
The Basics of Receiving Webhooks in Rails
If only we could get some transparency about the decisions to censor users on Twitter. It could be released as a set of files, a little at a time, to a prominent syncoph- I mean independent journalist. That way we can really dominate the news cycle for a week or so and get some attention on this thing.

The only problem is what to call it. Twitter Periodic Information Bulletin? No doubt accurate, but a little on the nose and we're already cutting too deep into our precious 280 characters.

Any ideas?
Trump talks a lot lately about Mars and a nuclear defense shield in space...

It seems that these questions should basically be answered once per company.

All services should have common health endpoints and shutdown operations.

Logging should be standardized across all the services of a company.

Having bespoke answers to these questions for each service will rapidly devolve into chaos, when you have multiple services deployed.
I was excited to see his pro free speech approach and this ban wave disappoints me.

I'm actually okay with bans, suspensions and all the rest. But only if there is the following

- A redemptive path back
- Due process
- Transparency
- Fair application of the rules.

These recent bans have had none of that. The rule change should have been announced before the bans. There should have been warnings to remove the tweets before instant bans. The accounts should be given the opportunity to comply with the rules and come back.

While I'm sad Elon has taken this turn I still don't think Twitter is any worse off. They did this before just to a different group.
At least they appear to be making progress on removing child exploitation.

I don't know if the platform can survive the disruption and unpredictably that Musk has introduced but from a moral standing, removing child exploitation wins a lot of points with me.
Facebook matters even if I’m not on it. Twitter matters even if I’m not on it.

What billionaires do with the public square matters to our future.
Bellingcat did their usual trick and came up with a location for that video, it wasn't anywhere near an airport.
The manager should sign off on tickets in the sprint review to make a scope for the sprint. They can specify priority on the tickets to infer an order of execution, but, all things considered, and providing tickets aren't interlinked and blocking, if the sprint scope has been realistically allocated and not overstuffed then you should be able to do your work as you please by the sprint end in any order.

If the manager is changing sprint scope in scrums/daily stand-ups then they're being naughty. If they're policing order of execution, then maybe it's ok, but they should do that at planning time.
Sadly, if we look at human history, it usually resolves to that.
One possible effect of his craziness is that the banks that helped finance the buyout, thinking that Musk is driving the value of Twitter down to zero, will agree to sell the loans back to him at a big loss. Better to get 50% of their money back than nothing at all.
Same. I knew he was arrogant etc., but some degree of that almost comes with the territory. And he is prone to intense idiosyncratic interpretations that lead to unusual behaviour. But I also got suckered into thinking the man had some sort of primarily altruistic drive. Maybe he once did. Celebrity tends to ruin even good men.
My larger point is that Mastodon is the more likely place to find others sharing an anti-journalism sentiment.
I’m aware of some of it, the frequency now is what’s alarming
Odd that, for such a vivid and threatening incident, nobody wanted to sign their name to a document where lying would be a crime.
But not always. And education and communication are some of the forces that can help avoid that.

Knowledge is power.
What defines a 'prominent journalist' in today's media world? Is it a record of groundbreaking investigative research, or something else?
The First Amendment can only speak to what the law is, not what is moral. Again, just because it’s legal doesn’t make it moral.
Presumably this is like asking "why can't I get off this email chain where everyone keeps replying all."

Unless your client (iMessage I guess) offers you some kind of muting or blocking function, you can't stop people from sending you messages if they have your phone number.
> I only use sass these days for nesting and it would be nice if I didn’t need that extra dependency.

Same. I'm using plain CSS on my current project while using the test implementation of option 3, using PostCSS plugins.
We’re approaching one year since a world leader decided to burn the cash of his nation due to arrogance, overconfidence and shortsightedness.
So what would banning a jet tracking account have to do with a stalker (for which no police report was filed)? And why ban journalists? In addition, the rule change was just to enable the banning of the jet tracking, not because it was it came from some higher sense of duty.
He's making it up as he goes along.

The hastily written new policy from yesterday carves out an explicit exemption for reporters that's being ignored today. https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/personal-info...

> For media, the following are not in violation of our policy:

> * the media is publicly available or is being covered by mainstream media;

> * the media and the accompanying tweet text add value to the public discourse or are shared in public interest;

> * contains eyewitness accounts or on the ground reports from developing events;

> * the subject of the media is a public figure.

It's pretty much just a more elaborate '4D chess' post
Your example just shows the perils of monopoly social networks.

Today you have Facebook and Twitter (and whatever the kids use these days) with not much in between. If you’re not on those you don’t exist as a person.

If there were more options to choose from you could have a place with all your furry friends that is completely separate from the other aspects of your life like coworkers and family. No need to link between the two, nobody needs to know what you get up to on the other places unless you wanted them to.
To note, he didn't pay the whole forty-five billion dollars, investment banks have a part of that and are also eating dirt. I have no sympathy for them either, but it brings more flavors to the whole thing.

The only question now is how long before the banks fire him and try to right the ship.
Your division of 'artists' and 'programmers' into separate tribes is almost too telling.
Exactly. Occam's razor needs some sharpening here. Musk is just red pilled. There's no need for a conspiracy theory involving the military industrial complex. It's unfortunate, but hardly unique.
You think communists appeal to capitalists? I'm not sure you understand what communism is
This would be a really cool 4D-chess move if it were to actually play out like that.
This is very black and white thinking.

One can see AI tools as progress here while also recognising that this is likely to have a huge impact on a lot of lives.
The question now is whether he is doing it intentionally or he is just that incompetent/out of touch.
> If buying twitter was just a complication, why is he being so active in it?

Because it strokes his ego.

> If I found myself accidentally buying a company outside my wheelhouse, I would find some suitable management and not touch it an all.

That would make good sense.

> Or make small changes, Berkshire Hathaway style. Not take the helm and for everyone.

Clearly, you are not Elon Musk, but I agree that your approach would make a lot more sense.
Twitter suspends accounts of several journalists who had reported on Musk
I wonder if journalists are going to embrace the lesson from the 1983 classic Wargames and realize the only winning move is not play. They need to take their ball and move to a new court.
As an early Tesla investor (from early-mid 2010s), I find Elon's behaviour change over last 2-3 years pretty toxic and inhumane. From the days of fighting california for covid lockdowns to now hiding behind "free speech" doing whatever he wants anyways (which is sucking up to republicans and russians and who knows who else).

I want to say this isn't 100% unexpected (some people show true behaviour openly only once they have nothing to lose). 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 why I think we should have higher tax rates and prevent at least an individual just to gain too much control by their capital. I would even be ok with 50%-100% tax rate above 100 million dollars net worth. There needs to be less imbalance in society, not more.

PS: Also I had divested away from individual Tesla stocks a year or so ago.
I mean, apparently it's all about ElonJet based on the story, so "without explanation" doesn't make since here, since they're going by a pre-existing policy about real-time tweeting of one's current physical location to enable harassment.
We are back to sprite maps
The difference between incompetence and malice can be super hard to determine.
So does this use one of OpenAI's models?
I do not believe this is a successful response for your intent, but it is for my intent.
I was of the impression that Tesla's self driving is still not fully reliable yet. For example a recent video shows a famous youtuber having to take manual control 3 times in a 20 min drive to work [0]. He mentioned how stressful it was compared to normal driving as well.

100% for the near term but a couple decades from now I'm not so sure. Chess computers beat humans every single time even the absolute best of the best and they keep getting even better even since they first beat a world champion over 30 years ago. Is it not likely that similar trends could happen in other areas?
> "If the solution is complicated, you are probably wrong."

True in so many situations, Vincenzo.
> Not a requirement because it’s not in the spec…

BTW, there is a spec [1].

From the article:

> Twitter took action against Mastodon after the account linked to the Mastodon page of @ElonJet, a student-made bot that tracks the whereabouts of Musk’s private jet.
My recollection is that in the '90s it was on the order of seven or eight dollars a copy? $7.50 maybe? Not cheap for a magazine in those days. But I don't remember exactly. Back when I was doing more graphic design work, it was pretty essential reading. But after the content started getting more digital-oriented and I was doing more editorial work, I wasn't following it as closely. Glad to see it still exists sort of, because the editorial content was always top-notch.
Old Twitter banned journalists, too.
Yikes Musk is quickly burning through a lot of public good will. For me it started with trashing Dr. Fauci a week or two ago which was really dumb for a supposedly smart person. And now these mainstream journalists. As the marketing face of Tesla Musk is doing a lot of damage. No wonder he had to sell TSLA shares today as they were tanking.
I don't know that it has to be "benefit of the doubt", really. He's fired 2/3 of the company, it's very easy to imagine bugs not being caught before they reach production.
Please don't make blanket statements like that. Personally I'm disappointed by this turn of events
So… nothing changes? New management, same as the old management?
Dude, go blog this and submit it instead of pasting it on everyone one of these threads.
No, but the scrum master is just a proxy to the manager and does the micromanaging for them.
It's not actually the public square
He got mad at people tracking (or trying to track) current IRL location to enable harassment after someone went after his son.
That is normally not how cults work—and yes, I am claiming elon is a cult.

When a cult leader fails to deliver, or otherwise issues a prediction that never materializes, the cult member usually grow stronger in the cult’s convictions. This is kind of a counterintuitive psychological phenomena but it has been demonstrated quite a few times. There may be something of a cognitive dissonance driving this. It is that after you see your cult leader fail, you can either dismiss all your prior believes, or change your version of reality to match the cult’s altered dogma. It seems as if doing the latter is easier for most people, so this is in turn what most people do.
I have made a basic version here:

>Don’t understand why he lives in everyone’s mind, rent free.

It is fascinating to watch a slow motion disaster. The man is burning billions for seemingly no logical reason. That's gonna draw my eyeballs just due to the absurdity.
> Even the NYT is questionable

Your definition of journalist needs some work.
I don’t understand why people say this: Twitter wasn’t lucrative in the way that Facebook is, but they made a healthy profit in 2019 and probably would have made a small profit in 2021 had it not made settlement payments. Their revenue per employee was close to $1M, which is about 2/3rds of Google’s.

It’s not clear, either then or now, that Twitter “had no prospect of making money.” By most metrics, it was a potentially (and in actuality) very profitable company with a history of mismanagement.
Thank for posting this! I love this sort of content.
Both. Both acts of censorship are bad
Where is the bookmarklet? I'm not using the browser extension for privacy purposes as well, but can't find the bookmarklet
Sandy Hook should have been a turning point for gun control but very little has changed since then. I'm a gun control advocate but as long as the 2nd amendment is in action owning a gun is 100% legal. It's as valid as any other part of the constitution. We as advocates need to understand and stop advocating for a total ban. The stronger we push the least likely the other side will push for gun control. As protection, they will actually push for no control at all. And they have the constitution on their side. It's time to accept the reality of the 2nd amendment and push for sane control instead of a full ban. We need to make rules that both sides can live with. Continued push for bans have and will continue to lead nowhere.
It depends on how you operationalize the claim and when you start the timer.

In 1975, the cost per watt for solar PV modules was $105.70 per watt, when normalized for inflation. In 2020, that number was $0.20 per watt. (Source: https://www.iea.org/data-and-statistics/charts/evolution-of-... )

That a 528x improvement. If the price goes down in half again, quite possible with economies of scale, you have 1000x better in a significant measurement that counts.
Twitter was an unprofitable laughing stock until 2016, and with Trump gone they were very likely to revert to that whoever was in charge. It's hard to justify not taking twice what you're worth for that. Frankly even for employees, getting cashed out on your RSUs at double value and the option to walk away with 3 months' severance sounds better than staying there while it slowly runs into the ground.
Step 1: get real drunk and/or high. Step 3: have billions to burn. Step 4: you know the rest.
Also, US police killed more then 10,000 people by gunshot since then... (almost 9000 since 2015: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/washingtonpost/data-police...)
A journalist is someone who gathers information on specific subjects from a variety of sources, including original documents, interviews with individuals, and others, then condenses that information down into a readable article or watchable video, with the goal of informing the public (in an unbiased manner) on that subject.

The closest profession to 'journalist' is probably 'historian', but the former reports on current events, while the latter synthesizes past events.
he was always like this, he just had pr people. read the article his ex wife wrote in like 2012 about how weird he was
This comment reads like something that is probably true but is hard to prove because it’s a judgment of something that is intangible by nature (motivations) unless its complimented by a bevy of concrete evidence (e.g. emails, testimonies).

I think that you’re tangentially right. I wouldn’t be surprised if Elon Musk purchased Twitter because he had to, but I wouldn’t be surprised if whatever motivated him to posture toward buying it in the first place was motivated by what you’re explaining.
It seems as though he's entered his "let's build large airplanes out of spruce" stage.
I dunno. Why wouldn't Starlink have gotten that contract anyway...? And why would he threaten to cut off Ukraine if securing this contract were a number one priority for him...? Democrats aren't really less keen on military spending than Republicans, if you want to be a huge military contractor, you'd want the support of both.
Really hope it does, it's a marvel of engineering.
He actively promoted a conspiracy that Paul Pelosi was attacked by a gay prostitute. (While Pelosi was still in the hospital recovering from serious injuries.) Why should he expect sympathy now?
