> it is not fair to criticise it for not discussing prior scientific hubs

I don’t see why that’s unfair. By narrowing its focus to a specific time and place, and ignoring parallels with other times and places, it seems so easy to draw false conclusions or just tell a chronology of events rather than do the interpretive work expected of a historian.

I see this as a trend in historical works—the study of historical writing is called “historiography”, and if you pull up an article on historiography you can see the trends that I am talking about.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historiography_of_the_United_K...

There’s even a name for this kind of puff piece about UK history. It’s called “Whig history”, and Whigh history has its own history (or historiography), which is fascinating in its own right.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whig_history

I don’t see how it’s possible to say with confidence what the Victorians gave us without understanding what it’s like to not have a Victorian history.

But why, hasn't it been obvious for years that he's a terrible person? I honestly can't believe that many smart people don't see through Elon's BS. It's as if people don't understand this personality type (machiavellian psychopath/sociopath/narcissist).

I find Elon repulsive but at the same time I'm still kind of a fan of SpaceX and to a lesser extent Tesla.

It's like with Woody Allen, most likely not a pretty bad person but I love his films.

We already have "everything apps" - it's called a browser. I would indeed be missing that if we didn't already have it.

I can also imagine how people might find it convenient to have essentially browser, messaging and payment combined into a single thing (essentially WeChat) they can use instead of a variety of separate apps/accounts.

But I'm also sceptical anyone can make that happen in democratic capitalist countries without insane amounts of investment.
My question reading the linked article is: how will it be enforced, when millions of people like you have already linked other sites? Is there a time limit before banning (not specified), or will they delete tweets/reset profiles, or will they only check for new changes?

I don't know how much you are attached to your Twitter account, but I'd be curious to see what happens if you don't change your profile. I bet nothing for a long time, unless maybe someone specifically reports you.

Not really schadenfreude for me, just disappointment lately.
I think a lot of people thought it would be exactly as hard as it has turned out to be but were dismissed as being luddites or lacking imagination.

There may have been a lot of people like that, but there were very few knowledgeable people who were making such predictions in public. The only one I know of is Rodney Brooks, and even he went public for the first time only in 2017 [0].

As one of those people, no, probably not. At best, they consulted the loudest few autistic p... people with autism they could find, and decided that represented all of us. (I'm in a couple of other minority groups, it's a common pattern.)

Specifically, I'm the "parse everything hyperliterally unless I consciously try not to" type, which means I do not see the problem with many of these, and just have to remember a list of words I can't use professionally.

Amusingly, most of the list of words I'd always been told I couldn't use professionally get used all the fucking time.
I'm really sorry to hear it. :(

The past few years seem to have been really hard on people, even those without COVID. It seems the number of deaths in my circle too has accelerated -- especially among the "old but still should have some life left in 'em" cohort.
Also note that Latino is a Spanish word, Latinx is obviously an English word. So we have non Latino white people telling Latinos to use an English word to refer to themselves

I have owned a Model 3 in Iowa while living in an apartment with no garage. This was at the beginning of the Covid lockdown where it stayed unused for extended periods of time. The battery was cold-soaked in temps below 20F. Whenever I drove the car, I had almost zero regen-braking, reduced acceleration and the range was decreased by about 30%. For short commutes, that would persist throughout. But whenever I went on longer trips, a one hour drive would get it back to its original performance. The range would stay a bit lower due to higher energy use (~330 Wh/mi instead of 240 Wh/mi in the summer). The navigation would account for this when planning trips and also pre-condition the batteries prior to going to superchargers. On average it added maybe one extra charging stop during road-trips.
All we're seeing here is the continuation of people with the means distancing themselves from the toxic brand.

This and the excuses people make for still working there draw hilarious parallels with the Nazis.

> By that logic you might as well say a piece of paper

Yes, and if you read through the pieces of paper that make up the articles that described Turing copleteness you’ll realize that they don’t talk about mechanical machines but about mathematical and local systems. Moving rocks in the desert according to fixed rules can make up a Turing complete system, as can markings on paper.

Oh, I try to avoid reductive, knee-jerk responses. However. There's occasionally something so mindbendingly stupid, that it's hard to come up with a way of responding that would qualify as "reductive." And if there were one such moment in 2022, this would be it.

What an unbelievable show of arrogance, misunderstanding of the internet, and blatant disregard for any reasonable ideals. Elon Musk and Twitter were truly meant for eachother.

I agree, it's not as simple as pH balance. The body is a complex adaptive system.

However, the mere fact that the body can remove something doesn't mean it's healthy, or that it doesn't stress the excretory system. See: ethanol, for example.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah.

Sorry, just last week a buddy said something like "Musk could inspire great, dedicated engineers to join because they'll be inspired by his free speech stance". I had a good laugh, but maybe my friend was not very up to date on Twitter drama.

Surely after this past week's purges and this "policy" nobody could believe anything of the sort. Does anyone still think something like the statement above? I'd love to hear the reasoning.
Yeah but it’s high quality because it uses a lot of words.

Thanks, I had another question after a second reading of your post:

>"The first bit of an Ethernet frame is always one, which means there might or might not be an extra edge in the beginning depending on the idle state of the amplifier. This extra edge, if it comes, needs to be filtered out."

Practically speaking what is the cause of the "extra" edge here? Would it be that the last bit of the FCS from the previous frame caused it to be a 1 and then the transceiver is immediately getting another edge from a preamble on a new Ethernet frame? Or am I confusing bits and edges?

I don't know the fediverse protocol but wouldn't it be really easy to check if a link is part of it?
Mastodon supports user migrations that keeps your followers. It's pretty new and not supported everywhere yet, but it does work (I've used it) with the caveat that some followers on older software will still follow the old account at the moment.

It works by the old and new server "cooperating", so it won't let you move between two servers which won't federate with each other - in that specific scenario you'll need to go via a third server which both speak to.

The move appears to you as if your followers unfollows your old account and follows the new account, so they're all "redirected" to your new handle. E.g. you can see that here: https://mastodon.social/@vidarh

You indicate to the old server where you want to move to, and then to the new server where you're moving from, and the fact the old server will specify your new handle in your profile is used as proof when informing your followers instances of the new address.

If you do this, you can see mastodon.social returns a "movedTo" attribute for my old account:

> not referring to a specific standard of C++

This is a violation and implies that all of the C++ language is the same which may be offensive to users of a specific standard such as ISO/IEC 14882:2017. Referring to C++ generically ignores any differences between specifications.

Instead, referring to a specific standard, for example, C++11 is more appropriate to members of the ISO/IEC 14882 community.
Twitter to no longer allow free promotion of certain social media platforms
My understanding: When the Titanic sank, almost all the poor people died because it was standard policy to lock the gates at all times and prevent them from coming up on deck from their cheap accommodations. No one thought to unlock them as the ship began to sink.

Locking the gates after people begin trying to flee like rats from a sinking ship seems like rather desperate behavior and won't stop the ship from sinking. It reads like someone hemorrhaging money who has no clue how to entice people to want to be there, how to foster good conversation etc and is defaulting to habits that grow out of having power over people of a sort he does not have over Twitter membership.

I thought about passive-aggressively posting a movie clip of the Titanic sinking and the locked gates on Twitter but that's the behavior of someone afraid to speak their mind. I have fewer than 400 followers and no meaningful engagement that I'm aware of. Perhaps I won't know what I've got til it's gone, but Elon Musk is welcome to ban me if this comment is a bridge too far for the man.

Policy on HN is "Move slow and preserve things." People swear this site never changes, though it does. It just does so unobtrusively.

A lot of social stuff is hard to learn, even harder to teach, especially to someone doing it all wrong who wants to believe someone else's behavior is The Problem, the whole problem and nothing but the problem.

Social things don't work that way.

It takes two people actively cooperating to tango. It only takes one fool determined to step on everyone's feet to make it impossible to dance at all.

Not sure what my next step is, but it seems it's time to plan for a future without Twitter.

This is the behavior of someone who has no clue how social media actually works.

Edit: I will add that "free speech proponent" as a platform policy is always a shit show and only someone incredibly naive, to put it charitably, would think that's a great thing to promote as their official position/policy.

I don't think you can tell someone they're acting childish without being insulting, by definition, that doesn't mean it serves no purpose. One would hope that push back would lead to self-reflection. What else do you want me to say? Compare the threads about twitter to any other and the difference should be self-evident.
If you troll everyone, sack loads of people, release internal private emails in a bizarre push to manufacture a right wing conspiracy theory that isn’t couched in reality, you own Twitter and you act like a jerk stopping free linking on it, I’m not sure there’s much left to say really. Musk has gone from being someone who I thought was fairly decent and pushing humanity forward to someone who is a thin skinned conspiracy theorist trying to f-the-libs. I’m starting to think that for all the progress Tesla and SpaceX have made maybe we shouldn’t have billionaires at all, it’s too much power for individuals.

Putting aside the inconsistency/hypocrisy for a minute, I wonder how long that will last after they add long-form tweets.
I'd point out his positions are reactionary, not conservative. He doesn't want to preserve an existing state of affairs, he wants to counter recent progressive movements. The old guard politician from Chesterton's fence [1], the prototypical conservative in my mind, would view someone who wanted to put the fence back up, after the matter has been exhaustively litigated and the fence taken down, as just as if not more foolish than the politician who had wanted to take it down without understanding.

Free idea for GitHub: a huge bit of missing context for the model right now is the last few edits made by the user. If you move your cursor to a different part of a long file, Copilot immediately forgets about that part of the file. If it knew the last few edits you did then it would be able to make much more intelligent suggestions based on the task you're working on, rather than just current cursor position.
What a hypocrite. Elon is now living in an alternate reality where he is being constantly persecuted, defamed, and under attack. I wish him all the best, but based on our great works of literature (think Macbeth), it's usually all downhill from here. Was Grimes his Lady Macbeth? One can wonder.
howdy hn,

laid out in the link above is a number of concepts dealing with the generation and analysis of discrete rhythms.

there is also a reference implementation of these concepts written in typescript

this has been a labor of love and curiosity, which started out with the goal of helping generate algorithmic art. along the way it has become an art in itself, and believe there are many applications outside of art where this can be applied. i most interested to hear from others how this might be used within cryptography and data encoding

if anyone has the the time to look through these concepts and chat, id be grateful

Do something new, write about it and invest some time. And do this as frequently as possible. Don't do it for clicks but for yourself.

As part of the Tesla community (which unfortunately overlaps with the "drink Elon's piss" fanboy community) for a long time, I can tell you right now:

"Well, of course he can ban links to competitors if he wants to. Anyone would. This is genius 5d chess."
If it disappears, you're right. If it's "banned" (not a thing, assuming you mean defederated) then you can't move to one of the instances which have defederated it. Any followers from an instance which has defederated yours will also be lost, not because you can't move them but because the block on their instance will automatically cause them to unfollow you.

The solution to this is to move to an instance which hasn't defederated from the one you're on. Worst case, setting up your own.
Cancer is just so unfair.
The random destruction is already done by the market. We gave them an opportunity to out-innovate each other and now it's a warzone. Do we set things straight or let opportunists pick up the pieces? It doesn't really matter to me, but I think the liberal sentiment favors a corrected implementation.

Elon plays a mean game, but it's a board we built and he's using rules we made. IMO, the proper response is not to change the rules, but use powerful technology to make his control irrelevant. Writing bespoke legislation for Twitter is truly unthinkable, there are better ways to approach this.
Right, so instead of this:
