This is ultimately a long awaited revenge against sour activism taken too far, and exposure of alarming things hidden or ignored for ages — things Twitter and its Big Club have been known for for a long time.
I believe the person you replied to was saying that was an example of a legitimate issue with Elon's behavior, as compared to the "pure character assassination."
I never use & when I am only nesting. So when I am skimming code quickly and I see an & I immediately know there is something else happening besides a nesting, for example &:hover.

This is probably something I can unlearn but until then it is very jarring to see & everywhere.
jeez. get a load of this pedo's comment.
I'm the author of cacao, which is the first thing in this blog post - and is a Rust wrapper around native AppKit. Anything built with it feels fine on macOS and gets most things "for free", but the issue is that nobody wants to write AppKit anymore. ;P

You can blame a variety of things for this, but it's the reality. Apple doesn't really make it easier with the newer UI approaches creeping in.
Elon tweeted and posted a video about that incident asking for help to identify the perp. Why would he do that if he didn't want it to trend?
Tbh, if this sort of "nesting" is possible in Sass, I don't think I've ever used it...

Is it really necessary to support? I'd be cool with just simple nesting logic
What seems an obviously right course of action to you is not to others and it comes down to value systems. Only time will tell the outcome. My colleagues wife’s company was acquired by a huge media company and she and dozens of her colleagues have spent the last 6 months wondering if they are going to have jobs. The stress is palpable every time I see her. That’s not more humane to me than what Musk did (let everyone know within weeks where they stand). It impacts her, it impacts my team lead which impacts me. It’s horrible.

I remember a few weeks ago Twitter wouldn’t be able to keep the lights on. That’s obviously not the case. Interesting how fast the narratives are moving.

Let’s pretend for a minute Musk wasnt liberal public enemy #1 and the machine wasnt fully activated to take him down (now that we have confirmation of what we already knew, that media companies collude to suppress or amplify coverage)… he is running Twitter without any noticeable impact to the operation of the services with 70% less staff. That’s astounding to me. All else equal, this business would have been significantly more profitable over night.

The fact of the matter is, companies will go where the users are. Once the noise dies down, why wouldn’t you continue spending money on Twitter if your competition is?
At least run it through GPT to make it sound new?
There is actually a (4) also, which we can see evidence for in a paper such as [1] in the paper Efficacy and effectiveness of covid-19 vaccine - absolute vs. relative risk reduction

Summarized: The Covid vaccines have real safety risks for which there is a body of evidence, that taken in totality, leads one to believe that the temporal and Absolute Risk Reduction of =< 0.85% is not worth the adverse events. Given the suppression of data around the true adverse events, and the time limited protections from the vaccines, it should be used sparingly after the patient is fully informed of the risks, and minimal protections provided. Given the uniqueness of each patient's medical situation though, patients are in the best position to decide if their comorbidities are sufficient to merit the risks of these vaccines. Similarly to the Nordic countries, any younger person without severe comorbidities < 50 should not take the vaccine, but they should be able to make their own decision fully informed of the risks and limited protection, and without any type of coercion.

I don't believe that all Covid vaccines share the same risks since the microgram dosing of the MRNA vaccines vary greatly, and the Novavax vaccine [2] [3] is coming onto the scene, unfortunately with a few of the same adverse events as the MRNA vaccines though

I used to work in a bank with people that came from mainframes. They use to talk about Cobol and how it was a well paid job, cause of the lack of programmers.

As a way of learning the language I end up writing a perceptron in it [1]. It was a fun exercise.

"Eventually AI will start using other AI art as reference, and will dissolve into a sort of 'Lorem ipsum' state: an impression of sense without sense. Indeed, it might be argued that to a degree this has already happened."

The AI art on the internet is (in most cases) cherry-picked, and therefore reasonable fodder for further training.

> read the article his ex wife wrote

No thanks. Sounds like you're trying to pile rubbish on someone's name by promoting personal hit piece articles from their ex-partners. That's low quality.

Interview anyone's ex and you'll find grubby things to hold up in the light, if that's your agenda.
It's oversimplistic, to put it lightly, to just point to "everything after Musk" and "everything before Musk" and assert they're equal and anybody who smells like they've expressed more criticism on one side of that divide than the other is a hypocrite. There are a million variables that any honest person considers. Some bans are high profile, some aren't. Some bans are en masse, some are individual. Some are permanent, some are temporary. Some show bias, some are just for breaking rules while happening to also be apparently right/left-wing. Some are honest mistakes. Some are reversed.

People like Elon are particularly good at generating the image of disproportionate criticism, because he is the highest of high-profile, and he is a classic modern provoker. I.e. he invites rebuke and bitterness by mocking/trolling and generally being petty/childish toward those he disagrees with, which can work in his favor ("look at all the haters"). In this case, it's pushed even further by the fact that he is so aggressively pro-free-speech and critical of those who may take a more measured approach, and yet we keep seeing him apparently falling into the exact same trap of "well OK except for this case - let me modify the rules to be more subtle/pragmatic", except the result is perhaps now even less free than before by his own apparent definition. The irony/hypocrisy is mountainous.

Additionally, "the same people who X are now Y" is an extremely common fallacy. It may be true, but much more often than not, you're assuming that two groups of people are mostly the same people when they are not (i.e. that every person is either left or right, pro-Elon or enti-Elon, etc; and every opinion a person expresses must fall on one side of each line). It's very easy to project one's internal concrete images of enemies onto the enormous, dynamic masses of the internet, or a particular forum, and "discover" hypocrisy.
He just tweeted that doxxing is a 7 day ban.
But he initiated being derisive and mocking of another person whom was personally invited to help by the dive team. Contributed time and resources to the effort as per the instruction of the lead diver. Doesn't sound particularly heroic. People love to leave this out of the story that Vern Unsworth brought it on himself by initiating the negativity, wasn't a diver, and ultimately lost his case.

> As an aside, one of the people banned was known to take clips out of context. Add commentary on top, and actively mislead people. Imo these aren’t journalists, they’re activists

All of these things - mischaracterization, commentary, misinformation, activism - fall well within the "free speech" Musk said he'd be protecting, even if your assertions are true.
Yes, but he's not my enemy. I still hold some measure of respect for him.

I just want to learn from this fairly rare opportunities and see if I can predict what happens next.

> Facebook doesn't choose individually what posts are highlighted, the engagement of other users does.

They do, by having control of the algorithm. It didn't just spring forth, they made it. More relevant, they have the off switch. "Good faith moderation" means monitoring the actual results of applying it and making changes if the results are harmful.

> It doesn't make sense to blame an algorithm for not realizing a post is hateful and highlighting it.

I'm not blaming the algorithm, I'm blaming the people who implemented it, failed to understand the potential consequences of using it in this way, and then failed to notice or understand what was happening.

You can't just abdicate moral responsibility by putting "the algorithm" between your actions and their consequences. A for loop and a couple of if statements is an algorithm. Someone makes it, gives it input, applies the output to some task. That is the culpable action, not whatever happens inside the algorithm.
I mean, 1980 Zambia is literally apartheid era. That's a statement of fact.

You don't like the associations that "apartheid" evokes? And yet, for an emerald mine in Zambia, apartheid was certainly a big factor in the working conditions there. The mines in Zambia (mostly copper) benefited the most by apartheid, where white workers were paid over ten times what black workers were paid. Even during the 80s, when supposedly the color bar had been dismantled, mines got around that be defining all black labor as "local" (even if the workers were immigrants) and white workers as "skilled expats" (even if the whites were born next door). [1]

Mining, indeed, was heavily tied to the apartheid from the very start. [2]

So it's very relevant that it's an "apartheid era." You could not invest in a mine in Zambia or South Africa without knowing that you were investing into a apartheid system, and hoping to make money off the backs of the apartheid abuses.

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

Yes, I agreed that that wasn't backed by known evidence in my statement above.

I agree. This slide into barefaced shittiness hurts all the more because, at first, he felt like the hero we needed.

EDIT: "barefaced" intentional because there's significant evidence to claim that these character traits were always present (see - the famous essay by his ex-wife), just less noticed.
This does not always happen with rule makers. It's yet another item on a list of more and more unhinged public embarrassments specific to Elon Musk.
Thanks! Would love to do same but no contact info in your bio.
Nope, you’re just supposed to enjoy Comedy being Legal Again!
Basically:

1. A small number of large tech companies have collectively managed to gain a huge amount of control over what information millions of people are allowed to see.

2. There are nearly no legal restrictions on how they're allowed to exercise that control.

I'm not sure precisely what the solution to that should be, but the problem only exists as long as both 1 and 2 remain true, so you could theoretically approach the problem from either of those angles, or both.
done what exactly?
I don’t think he has a plan

I don’t believe he wanted to buy Twitter to begin with but was forced to because he made public statements

Now he says he believes that in free speech but the problem with absolutism is you realize that you box yourself in to a dead end real quick.

Now he says one thing but does another because he said some absolute things and now it’s impossible for him to be consistent. But he can’t retract his absolute statement about free speech because that’s an extremely bad look. Well, someone with charisma could pull it off but Musk is not that man

You’d think someone like Musk would have wised up to absolutes being something only kids do by his age

Only Sith speak in absolutes or something something
His jet's location isn't doxxing and the public has a legitimate interest in it.
Reading through this thread, it's hard to disagree with your conclusion. I still believe these comments are made in good faith (read: these things are actually believed) and that's why I point out the lack of a coherent argument. I'd at least like to extend an olive branch for a more productive discussion.
Banks have tons of things going on, I wouldn't take one (or even a hundred) job postings as indicative of a firm-wide shift in strategy. They could be using Rust for their phone app or their real-time ML fraud-detection system, while he checks are still processed by a piece of software whose source code is COBOL whose only extant copy was written by typewriter in 1975.
I thought the Post journalists on that story didn't want it to run in the first place and weren't banned?

(Edit: may have been just the original author and at least one other:

> The New York Post published images and PDF copies of the alleged emails, but their authenticity and origin have not been determined.[23] According to an investigation by The New York Times, editors at the New York Post "pressed staff members to add their bylines to the story", and at least one refused, in addition to the original author, reportedly because of a lack of confidence in its credibility. Of the two writers eventually credited on the article, the second did not know her name was attached to it until after The Post published it.[24] In its opening sentence, the New York Post story misleadingly asserted "the elder Biden pressured government officials in Ukraine into firing a prosecutor who was investigating" Burisma, despite the fact that Shokin had not pursued an investigation into Burisma's founder.
)
Full-on paranoia.
The company itself could have access to the AI for the interview, since idea is lowering the playing field.

But even more, it seems likely someone is going to be willing to supply LLM access at not that much more than the cost of computation.

I know OpenAI's business is selling access to their stuff at a premium but since current AI is not much more than brute-forcing of massive public data, it doesn't seem like this premium will be justifiable for long.
Wouldn't it all hinge on the reason for the bans/suspensions? I'm not sure what a simple percentage would tell you.

I'm just glad I avoided social media for the most part.
days after. so by musk's own rules.. fine to post. wasn't real time.
First of all, kudos for the offer! I can understand the incomplete rip, since IIRC once a computer would see a data session, it would ignore anything else (like audio tracks).

I don't know for certain, but I think you would want to find software that can generate BIN/CUE files. You would end up with a single CUE file listing the multiple tracks of the disc (data, audio, etc.), and a set of BIN files.

Maybe https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=56493 would have the answer? If not, the Internet Archive has their own forums at https://archive.org/iathreads/forums.php

Best of luck!
The SHA1 break doesn't threaten SHA2. The two hashes are different in a significant way that breaks the SHA1 attack.

Hmm, I think you might be overstating this a bit. While the SHA1 attack indeed does not break SHA2, the whole reason SHA3 exists at all is that SHA1 and SHA2 are similar enough in their structure that we were worried that the methods used in the SHA1 break could be extended to attack SHA2.

So far the answer seems to be no, but it was a serious concern for a while.

Given that the rule didn’t exist when Elon originally banned @ElonJet?

I’d suggest that you care about the fact that Elon will ban anyone he wants banned, and make up a justification post-facto. If you don’t care who gets banned from Twitter, then I retract my suggestion.
I’ve been using Reader since just after the private beta launched. It’s changed the way I read and interact with articles online. Instapaper was a favorite of mine in the early iOS days but it sadly and continually became a junk drawer. Obviously Reader still has that potential but the baked-in processing workflow has helped me abate that some.

A castration cult that abducts young boys, chops their balls off, and sells them into the sex trade is not really a great example of this. It baffles me why people who support Western transgenderism liken it to the hijra, as it's hardly a flattering comparison.
> The point of the announcement is to give a timeline to start treating SHA1 as having no real security.

That's also false. There is a large body of knowledge here that you aren't expressing in your comments. That leads me to see that you are unfamiliar with the purposes of hash functions and their utility in real world situations.

The announcement refers to the transition timeline to stop using SHA-1, preferring the SHA-2 and SHA-3 families. However, the recommendations for years from NIST have been not to use SHA-1. For example SP 800-131Ar2 discusses not to use SHA-1 for digital sig gen and that digital sig ver is only acceptable for legacy uses.

The recommendation would have been for years to not use SHA-1 at all, except for this carve-out to handle already stored data that uses SHA-1. The remaining use cases cover protocol use, such as TLS, where SHA-1 is used as a component in constructs and not solely as a primitive.
I think he's more like Henry Ford:

Henry Ford bought a newspaper. Musk bought Twitter. The more the things change the more they stay the same.
I have been deeply fascinated by COBOL ever since 1994. In 1994 I was looking at where to go to college, and the community college near the town I grew up had two "computer" associates programs. One was a program focused on personal computers, and one was a program focused on mainframes. The person I spoke to at the school told me, at the time, that as far as he could tell graduates of both programs got good jobs, but he never saw anyone cross from one to the other. Once the track was picked, the lives and careers diverged. He described the mainframe path as "for going deep into the guts of banks, insurance companies, government and big big companies." It was not a great pitch to give a 16 year old IMO.

I ended up going to neither and went to a traditional CS undergrad at a 4 year state school, and things have been fine ever since. However, on a regular basis, I think about the other life I would have had, if instead I had gotten an associate's in mainframe programming. What would I have done? Where would I have worked? Who even are those folks.

If today I found a COBOL bootcamp that reskilled developers for a career change into COBOL, i may even seriously consider it. An unexplored path that has always been in the back of my head, deep in the guts of the engines of industry.
Yes they do. They chime in with the business requirements and explains the tickets they created from a business perspective. They also asks for rough estimates and we have a chance to actually shoot down stupid shit.

They leans on us 100% for technical information.

I would hate they not being there as the information flow would be very bad without and priorizing stuff would eat up other half hours of the day.
I don't have a recent article backing this up, but this has been false as recently as last year: https://www.autoweek.com/news/green-cars/a36266393/tesla-mad...

I guess a definition of "value" as "the intangibles that allow it to keep functioning" would make your statement correct, but a definition that relies on "how it generates revenue" would probably not.
At some point people will hopefully be sad for him, ignore him and move on. I hope he's got somebody in his life that can tell him this is increasingly looking like self destructive behavior.

Not quite. Some of the journalists linked to a Facebook page about the topic, which is a small but crucial distinction. Banning for linking to peripheral news stories is pretty bad.
