My point is that many people who make predictions on this topic come to conclusions by fixating on largely irrelevant details. Are people on Twitter because it's a "mirco-blogging service" or because they find funny memes, follow people they like, get information they value, find the UX addicting, and everyone already has it? Unless those core value propositions change (which I haven't seen evidence of) the changes to tweet length, blue checks, metrics visibility, etc won't get users to leave for a more complicated alternative.
Judging from the other comments here, seems like the article is agenda-driven. That's essentially as good as denial.
There is no tool that can scale a mobile app to tablet size whilst maintaining a great UX.

This is all happening in the last 20 years, so less than a single generation.

In those 20 years we've had another sexual revolution, deconstruction of any barrier to promiscuity and any number of apps to facilitate hookups.

The demographic hit hardest is 55+, which is unsurprising. We only started pushing HPV vaccines to teenagers (only) right around that time, so most of the current generation is unvaccinated.
Is there search independent? They have no page talking about their robot. The Cliqz index they acquired was a database of query url pairs scraped from Google. It is not obvious how true their claims of independence are or how they are building an index beyond further scraping of Google and opaque Brave browser add-ons
> Running Win10 today is like running Win95 in 2004, 6 years after Win98, 3 years after XP.

Maybe I have just gotten old(er) but I remember being excited about Windows XP.
I had an Pentium 4 computer with 128 MB of memory and a 40 GB hard disk.
I was very excited to put Windows XP on that machine.

I got on Windows XP as quickly as I could but I am not so enthusiastic about Windows 11.
To compare, the current desktop version of Fedora Linux that came out a few weeks ago runs just fine on an old dell optiplex with i3-2100 processor and 4 GB memory. I have a 1 TB Samsung Evo 860 SSD on it but that's besides the point :)

Gnome works just fine with 4 GB memory.

This ignores the fact that Google is the/a dominant player in at least mail, search, ads, and mobile. That both funds Google's browser and they can nag users to switch.

It's more surprising that Mozilla survives at all (and likely at Google's mercy with default placement payment) since the only other browsers who can hope to compete have massive subsidies from a larger business.

Twitter already had a large community and set of creators while Clubhouse really didn't. Moreover, most of the Clubhouse users already had Twitter accounts and just switched their audio conversations to Twitter Spaces once that product became available.

I think at this point it's obvious that Clubhouse was not worth $4B (10% of Twitter's final sale price!), so no point in arguing about that. The interesting question is: what combination of bad judgement and groupthink made anyone think it was in the first place.
> It seems like the industry has embarked on subdividing what was originally considered as 5G spectrum into small chunks so that the carriers roll out subsequent generations of 6G, 7G, and 8G—all of which were supposedly part of the original 5G revolution.

4G proved too hard, so the industry instead adopted what they called 4G Long Term Evolution, or LTE for short, where they'd start with a minor improvement over 3G and keep improving over time. Then they forgot to improve over time. 5G was transparently just 4G again. Then it proved too hard, so etc etc. Sigh
I think if you stepped outside of your shoes and said "would someone who disagrees with me find the way I have conducted myself convincing?" you wouldn't like the answer.

You are invoking a conspiracy to justify your belief.

Well, there are powerful interest groups who would love us to think of it as a non-issue. What we see here might be the next line of defence, going from "CC is not real" to "Ok, it's real, but not as bad as we're being told".
Here's an article[1] trying to define the term a bit more rigorously.

Here we discuss a sharp definition of the narrow concept of emergence in physics; we give a mathematically precise meaning to the notion of ‘qualitative difference.’ We propose the following:

An emergent behavior of a physical system is a qualitative property that can only occur in the limit that the number of microscopic constituents tends to infinity.

Which is essentially the opposite of what you mention (vanishes when looking at the microscopic constituents).

I've started turning many of the autocorrect-related features off entirely.
There was no chance that Twitter (who already had periscope) would accept a $4B+ deal to buy Clubhouse.

In fact, it was very predictable as I said here before the acquisition talks that Twitter would push on with using Spaces instead of buying Clubhouse. [0]

The hard truth was that Clubhouse launched too slowly and even Twitter Spaces launched faster than Clubhouse to release their Android app. [1]

The invite system, slow release of the Android app caused them to lose steam to Twitter and Discord during the social audio race of 2021 at the time. [2]

This is a common developer curse. I just ran into an issue at my job where customers were having an issue in the field that we just couldn't reproduce in the office; it took a long time to put together that the issue was related to failing downloads on sketchy networks because all of our networks are stable and fast.
But that wouldn't be manifesting as cancer yet. It should take a few decades to see the results.

Is it possible Andreessen are misunderstanding how pinecone/vector dbs are used? It seems like they are pitching it as "memory for large language models" or something. Are people using vector db's in some way I'm not aware of? To me it's a database to help you do a semantic search. A multi-token string is converted into a single embedding. Like maybe 1000 words into one embedding. This is helpful because you can quickly find the relevant parts of a document to answer a question and there are token limits into an LLM, but the idea that it's helping the LLM keep state or something seems off?

Is it possible they are confusing the use of embeddings across whole swaths of text to do a semantic search with the embeddings that happen on a per token basis as data runs through an LLM? Same word, same basic idea, but used so differently that they may as well be different words?
> These aren't additional sexes.

This is an opinion. Clearly there are at least some in Australia who have the opinion that they are indeed additional sexes or their passports wouldn't have more than 2 options. That's not "anti-science"; it is an opinionated interpretation of science.

Certainly the statement, "There are 2 sexes," simplifies the biological understanding we have of sex. To then add, "And that's all there is to it," makes the statement plainly wrong.

Yeah, it gives a brief critique of existing ontologies but does not proceed into epistemology.

Totally, the Kinect was the first device I ever “hacked” with and really was what got me into programming. It’s a lot of fun to mess with to this day, when I last pulled mine out I was tinkering with full body tracking for SteamVR. It's too bad the K2 never got the same robust software platform since the hardware had some interesting capabilities, I recall the project I was working with said it had some advantages in the scanning range but the software was too unreliable to recommend it.

Is there anything like it available on the market new in box today? I recall the RealSense cameras seemed comparable but those are gone now.

Golly. I still do miss being about to navigate Netflix titles by just swiping my hand in either direction. That really felt like the future made real and now it’s been discontinued for years.
Sure, but do you need Siri to solve logic riddles? I don't. I need it to reliably hit other APIs and shortcuts with some basic arguments. Check out OpenAI's ChatGPT plugins [0]. You can connect the LLM system to an external service with just an OpenAPI model and a natural language description of what it does. I want that, via voice.

> he is not entitled to enforce them on other people

In 2008 when Proposition 8 was on the ballot, that Eich privately supported, even President Obama (candidate at the time) was publicly against gay marriage.

There needs to be some historical cultural context, supporting Prop 8 in 2008 is different than supporting Prop 8 in 2023. Now if Eich said he would support it in 2023, that's a different matter.

I'm from north-west Scotland.

Many years ago we had a guy working for us who was sent over from our company's parent company in Southern Cali. He was not keen on going out in the rain at all, and was absolutely terrified that we still drove at 60mph when it was raining. "But what if you skid? It's raining!" he'd wail.

He'd never driven in rain. He just did not take well to a Scottish January, especially the bit where you get 140mph winds for a couple of weeks.
Sudan gets about 4 inches of rain a year or something like that. It's obscenely hot (compared to what I am accustomed to) and dry. For a temporary solution, rust definitely is not a limiting factor here.

The same people who force women to have birth against their will are simultaneously completely against providing any and all forms of support after the child is born. They will also vehemently defend their right to own fully automatic weapons. Nobody can claim these people are “pro-life” with a straight face. It’s painfully clear that it has nothing to do with life.
Bribery of a public official as discussed in the linked article is a criminal statute. Judges like anyone else are not above the criminal law and in fact federal judges have been charged and in one case (Otto Kerner 1974) convicted of bribery while in office. Impeachment is a different matter.

In any case, charging judges who engage in criminal behavior with crimes is normal business of the Republic, as is writing laws defining bribery, and the penalties. Redefining a criminal statute so that one can engage in previously illegal behavior stinks and probably does warrant impeachment.

> They're designing the products for maximum safety and performance. It was never in the cards to make it open.

Well, then, that was stupid of John Deere and makes them a victim of their own arrogance. Period. There wouldn't be a law right now if John Deere hadn't unnecessarily, by their own actions, pissed off so many people in the process of increasing "safety" and "performance". As though anybody complained about the lack of "safety and performance" in the century-long history of tractors before computers came along and saved us.

Let's be clear here: John Deere, a multi-billion dollar company, isn't the victim here, but the aggressor against family farms, good intentions or not. Mourning for them is absurd.

> A huge change, that will take years and millions to achieve?

Nope. It's as easy as clicking "Publish" on the repositories and setting the Dropbox folder to "Public." I could do it in 15 minutes. Any legal review or trade secret review or whatever else is entirely the company protecting their own interests. John Deere has done that long enough, a hard deadline is their self-inflicted penalty.
Ugh, it's always depressing to see people whose whole worldview depends on treating the law as a programming language.

They put so much effort into building these elaborate arguments, and they are oblivious to the embarrassment everyone else feels for them.

> If I can make "Fair Use" of your book, why not your bed or your house?

Maybe because copyright is intended to encourage creative works by guaranteeing a theoretically-temporary monopoly on investment, and that guarantee is provided by the government, which has a competing interest in ensuring that people are educated and free to comment on any and everything, without being required to buy them for the privilege of commenting.

So fair use is a compromise that says that exclusive right to distribute and profit has an exception for, among other things, commentary, education, and derivative works.

Despite the imaginings of idealists, none of this is coming from a place of platonic ideals about what property means. Therefore it should be totally unsurprising when there are logical inconsistencies between how we treat e.g. a Brittney Spears song and, say, your house. Because... they are different.
Again, you've got to look at the mathematical foundations here. Shannon and frequentist statistics will help in particular. I'd encourage you to go back to the mathematical roots and take a good gander over it. I find it to be a very rewarding journey in and of itself.
Sorry for your loss. Sounds like you had the help you needed when you needed it.

Great quote. For the benefit of the general population, may I ask what the approximate rates are in order-of-magnitude terms? I assume double the quoted salaries, ie. 40-120K GBP/year = USD$50K-150K quoted salaries for the nannies, so USD$100-300K/year to include profits for the agency and incidentals. That doesn't sound off the charts, considering what people seem to routinely pay in school fees (USD$30K-50K).

Oh man, wild to see an article about the biggest conference in my field pop up on HN.

Yeah, I look at what happened with Blurred Lines; if we applied that standard to visual media, there would be like 10 people that own the copyright to all visual art.

For those who don't know: the accepted facts are that two of the writers of Blurred Lines specifically set out to make a song with the same "feel" as Got to Give it Up; the resulting song did not share chord progressions, melodies, or rhythms, yet a jury ruled (and verdict was maintained in appeals 2-1) that it infringed.
