I did not get fired by Elon, so that's a swing and a miss. Any other straw men you wanted to try?

You're wrong about the "average user" enjoying "free speech", of course. That's the view Twitter started out on, "the free speech wing of the free speech party". But they learned that certain kinds of speech drove away users and made it hard to sell ads, so for very good business reasons, they decided to take away the "free speech" of people to, say, shout the n-word at black people. [1]

I believe you enjoy it more, of course. But other people enjoy it less. You and Musk are making the same mistake in thinking a thing that you like is a thing that everybody will like. Running a social network means you have to create something that is liked by a very wide variety of people. And a lot of people who wave the "free speech" banner just turn out to want no constraints on their own speech, while having much less concern about creating a place where a wide variety of people can safely speak up and be heard.

[1] Something that surged under Musk's new "free speech" regime. e.g., https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/02/tech/twitter-hate-speech/inde...

> spend some time talking to folks from Donbass and understand the kind of oppression they faced, before you call oppression as pathetic.

I don’t need to speak to FSB and GRU agents to know what the Russian intelligence community is trying to push as the narrative in Ukraine thanks.

If they think that the main language of the country they are in being the offical language of the area then perhaps they should move to a country where that language is the offical language.

But I don’t expect that to happen because Russians are forever imagining oppression and have forever something to gripe about.
Can you explain your tastes? Why you prefer an apple to an orange for instance? Not really.

Can you explain how you had the intuition for a certain idea ? No you can explain why it works but not how the intuition came.
If you read the article you would know that this is about stock valuations for AI and AI adjacent companies, not about algorithmic trading.
First law in New York, not first in the country. San Francisco has had this for a while now (via prop 22).
Postgres in particular has many other processes that do a ton of bookkeeping and maintenance. Autovacuum, checkpointer, walwriter, etc. Each of these having process overhead and also having to deal with shared memory is probably the target of this proposal if I had to guess.

Have you seen the CIA World Facebook?[1] That goes much further.

Using your own API key is hardly abusing it. Officially (not that it means much these days) they've said they're keeping it free for individuals with 'standard' usage, which is what one sole user in an app would be.
> implication is that if they don't need more money, they can just ignore all those investor-owned shares

No, they can ignore the venture capitalists' shares. Reddit's Series F was led by a mutual fund. Most of Reddit's shares are non-voting common stock, under a voting-rights agreement or held by non-VC investors.

The difference is meaningful when tracing incentives. Venture capital, almost by definition, involves a high-loss high-reward portfolio. Most bets are expected to bust. That makes a middling bet that doesn't return the fund essentially worthless, which in turn encourages shooting for the moon. Late-stage private portfolios cannot sustain heavy losses. They are looking at preservation of capital in addition to returns, which makes them fundamentally different from VCs.

Shorthanding all investors in tech companies to VCs denies you visibility into a rich spectrum of actors, incentives and alignments.
Science very much does ask that kind of question - what is the origin of some thing. With SARS1 it also answered it easily - testing showed if came from palm civets at the market. This time though scientific investigation has been blocked by the politics.
If these protestors wanted to really impact Reddit, they’d also boycott all Reddit advertisers after a certain date.
When were trades reversed when a market maker had a bad algo? If you are doing market manipulation, sure, your trades might get reversed, but if someone wants to puke money across the tape it's absolutely legal to take it.
Yet the chip stocks have been flat for 2 weeks, such as Marvel and Nvidia. But QQQ and others still surging. It's not just an AI boom, but a risk-on tech boom. However, crypto not participating, but keeps falling.

This is why it's so hard to beat the market and why conventional wisdom keep failing: people were expecting high inflation to hurt stocks, or expecting rate hikes to hurt stocks, or bought meme stocks which crashed and burned, or bought crypto instead of stocks. Staying invested in index funds regardless of what the macro situation is tends to produce the best outcome.
It sets ashes on fire. The only way to stop ClF3 fire is to wait it out. Shit is just unstoppable. Reminds me of FOOF. In a bad way.
The article makes it sound like the ferry mission wasn't quite as tight as you suggested ("barely made it"):

"As a precaution, the main A40 trunk road, which runs past the bottom of the easterly end of the runway at Northolt, was closed to traffic until the Boeing 707 had taken off. However, much lighter without much of its interior, the aircraft was airborne quickly off the Northolt runway and successfully landed at Heathrow a few minutes later."
The theory seems correct. Social media like stock markets is a collection of lots streams of random user behavior. It's difficult to pin down what users value except the fact that controversial stuff, scam artists etc are always a hit followed by a long long tail of small niches.
> I wasn't referring to the technology but the major players that use it.

So... you mean to insinuate the Sam Altman's current "AI Will Kill Us All Tour" isn't a hype bubble?

> crypto promises utter anonymity

Where?

Cryptocurrency promises a separate ledger for transactions where you don't need to be identified by name. If you identify yourself to buy crypto, then yes, you have defeated the purpose. Cryptocurrency doesn't "promise" anonymity any more than encryption "promises" security, though. If that's academic fraud then I'm Abe Lincoln.
> Human rights and sovereignty is only grandiosely trumpeted when it is in the favour of the US.

I’m pretty sure there was endless articles about the human rights situation in most countries the us invaded and also massive protests so this is patently false.
People were getting banned for harassing individual laid-off journalists. A tweet expressing a view about good jobs for journalists changing industries was not ever a problem, so it wasn't a free-speech concern. Being a dick to people is not a legal right.
Nit, by then it would have been public market investors, not VCs, for the most part.
Thanks for pointing out. fixed.
The pilot had a similar route to the one flown by MH370 on his home flight simulator according to the ATSB report. From Reuters:

"Six weeks before the aircraft’s disappearance, Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah used his home simulator to fly a route that was initially similar to part of the route flown by MH370 up the Strait of Malacca, with a left-hand turn and track into the southern Indian Ocean, the ATSB said in its report."

It's highly likely that MH370 was the result of pilot suicide.
> Very surprisingly, every file I tried from every floppy loaded perfectly.

I have noticed this as well. Floppies from the early 80s and 90s seemingly reading data perfectly fine. In fact, I can't recall the last time I remember running into a corrupted floppy.

I feel like my floppies have lasted longer than my CDs. The top coating on a lot of my CD-Rs from the very late 90s and early 2000s chip / wear off very easily today.
The connection between this mistake and the valuations themselves seem to be related.
First hand experience is ot required to form an opinion on any subject.
1. Executives, software engineers and plenty more employees at these companies are making obscene amounts of money.

2. While most drivers just scrape by, those who play the system correctly (driving at the correct times, knowing which orders to pick, which restaurants to avoid, how to get good tips etc) do very well for themselves. These are the ones who skew all the reported statistics from these companies.

3. Restaurants always complain about the high fees but the truth is that they have the option of getting off the apps but will not, because delivery is a massive revenue stream that was never open to most (outside of cheap pizza and Chinese take outs) in the past. Most of them also mark up menu items on these apps by a good amount.
I would say that we are talking about management science in general when it is applied like a manual. It is typical MBA talk.
Again, it only looks good because it's sold at such a deep discount.

A770 has a 400mm^2 die and a 256-bit bus to 16GB of GDDR6. It only competes favorably to cards that cost less than half of what it did to manufacture.

You can say that it's a great deal for a consumer, but it is a terrible deal for Intel, and the only reason they are selling them for such a price is that they already have the stock and couldn't sell it for any higher price.
I believe it is now. Search used to work without being signed in, but I'm pretty sure that changed at some point in the post-Elon era.
I find myself spreading out. I created accounts with lemmy (app: jerboa) and mastodon (app: trunks).

HN and RSS remain in the mix. Also using my mobile browser's option to create a shortcut/browserApp for a few news sites. There really is an awful lot out there - I'm just beginning to look (again).

Interestingly... last year - with no effort on my part - reddit became an also-ran when I dived into TikTok. When I left TikTok, reddit re-entered the picture.
I have often heard of this essay but never read it, because I thought I knew the basic idea. Reading it now, I see much more to it than the basic thesis in the title.
That's correct. It was launched as "Birdwatch" long before Musk arrived: https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/product/2021/introduci...
This is a step in the right direction, if someone could come up with a simple enough but extensible enough de-facto standard for multiple “profile”, our lives would be immensely enriched.
> This is why it's so hard to beat the market and why conventional wisdom keep failing

Is any of those ideas truly conventional wisdom, or just popular culture among some social media sites?

> Staying invested in index funds regardless of what the macro situation is tends to produce the best outcome.

Are the majority of people _not_ doing this?
Yes, you could use it. If you face any issues, let us know through github issues or on slack.
I've got a PhD in infectious disease epidemiology who got his start in researching respiratory pathogens and whose work on coronaviruses has been cited 387 times.

I'd both put my estimate at much lower than 95%, and I'd be substantially less confident in it, since my expertise kicks in about two weeks after an initial spillover event occurs.
Yes, which is why explanatory frameworks for history fall apart when put in contact with the details of history.

The value in learning history comes not from the knowledge you acquire about humans, but from the wisdom you gain about human being.
Very. American culture prior to Covid was one in which any time off ever was frowned upon. As a result, people often went to work sick due to social pressure. Additionally, many companies had rather bad food safety practices because people would be sick and tired for fear of having a manager think them lazy for being out sick.
I started using rust before async and I think they really screwed the language with it.

And mainly it is because it is all or nothing. It is a terrible design that we are now stuck with...
They can still overwrite your OS/kernel with a patched version that will upload the keys somewhere on first boot+unlock. This + a dump done at a border will let them get all your data.
That's a completely fair point. But I suppose that regardless of whether it technically qualifies as censorship, it's people removing content that bothers them, and the end result can still be the same.
Twitter wasn't doing great at the time, but from the way Dorsey now talks about it, I don't think it was Vine or Bankruptcy: https://www.businessinsider.com/jack-dorsey-biggest-regret-k...
The PRIMARY purpose for safeguards, is to document what good faith means, so it has some objective agreed upon ethical meaning.

(The fallback purpose for safeguards is for when bad faith occurs, to provide a documentable reason for taking corrective action.)

"Good faith" with legally defined safeguards is a much clearer and safer situation than "good faith" without a clear definition of what standards, if any, impact what "good faith" could possibly mean.
The hype helps chip vendors sell gpu, crypto or AI.
I don't agree that it's not algorithmic. In the most generic sense of "problem solving" it's a binary search to find the issue. You test the most likely and continue to narrow down from there.

When you have specific examples for problem solving as in solving a problem with a specific thing those can very much be algorithmic. Simply look at any troubleshooting guides that many industries use to train their technicians with. After a while in a given area experience can often solve a problem faster than the guide procedure but that does not invalidate the procedure in the guide.
Definitely. This was obviously a big mistake on Sven’s part but someone just announcing it to the world, presumably making the chance of this being used for something nefarious more likely, and attaching Sven’s full name to it with a link-back so it’ll be caught in search engine results forever… not a great move from the author.
It's not hard. Reddit has every niche community right there. I go to subreddits to find advice on product and there's no reason why reddit can't be selling it.
> The indirect evidence of a lab leak theory is overwhelming frankly.

There was some indirect and even some more direct evidence of Iraq doing nuclear weapons research in some capacity at some point too, this is incredibly dangerous line to go own without being 250% sure. Indirect evidence simply doesn't cut it.

> No one credible is saying china intentionally released the virus or built it with the intention of building a weapon.

It may not be someone 'credible', but within the current context of the U.S. preparing for what increasingly looks like a direct confrontation with China, it sure suits a lot of neocons in Washington, who seem to always be failing upwards in the ranks despite having lost all credibility over a dozen times in the last decade alone.
I don't think that's true with AI. Loads of people worry about it and I've never heard that called a conspiracy theory.

It's true with covid though and I always thought the allegation a bit unfair. I mean suggesting the origin of X is from the nearest source of X has never seemed much of a conspiracy to me.

I had long messages on the Wikipedia discussion before they allowed the idea to be mentioned without a this is conspiracy disinformation disclaimer, after many months of fighting.
Why eat a murder or obstruction charge when you don't have to?

Power off if the cover is opened. ESD is a bitch, right? Gotta protect against that...
Similar story, but for Ultima Underworld, which managed to replace a unique item I needed for the final battles with something else (a torch?) while saving. I only noticed that happened AFTER all 4 save files were corrupted and never got to play till the end.

Plus one on this. How did this get “typo”?
That's not true. Reddit "censorship" that is the problem isn't things like banning questionable subreddits. Some of them were stupid. For example they claimed many were banned for "harassment" when there was no way for any subreddit to control whether subscribers harassed people, and it was inconsistently applied only to certain subreddits.

No, the real problem is that now on reddit you get side-wide banned by the administrators for saying words that they've deemed to be unspeakable slurs, regardless of any context. You might want to debate whether it is a slur on a debate subreddit. You might want to talk about how you were shouted at on the subway. You might want to talk about the fact everyone used to use it, and now doesn't. Today, you have to do all those things without actually saying the word you mean. That's the kind of censorship reddit does now: site-wide, unappealable, automated and contextless, based on keywords and not intent.
You didn't notice the humor because you're so focused on the politics. Where do you think I was going to fit all that crap? If a joke has a paragraph where a punchline should go, it's a shaggy dog.
What about all the AI-generated articles hyping AI? Maybe some AGI is already driving the hype that's driving the investments in itself...
Same here - i'm on iOS 14 and iOS15 (long story) while wife is on iOS16 (iPadOS) and we're debating same.

Seems that mine old versions are much more accurate.
While the premise is believable, I expected a more researched and persuasive piece than 4 paragraphs of "Nvidia went up and there's a lot of AI hype, so the stock market rally must be all because of it".
Python already had the “as” and assignment statements so didn’t need three ways to do it. Remember the Zen? (99% of the time walrus is used in “if” or “while” with one expression, which as handles fine.)

Also, along with typing contributes to the excessive “colon blow” of modern Python.
PEP 684 – A Per-Interpreter GIL
https://peps.python.org/pep-0684/
My hypothesis about the 737 MAX is because the FAA advanced its safety standards so much that it made sense to keep building older designs at a lower cost, which are for some reason grandfathered.

Carmakers can’t mass produce older designs meeting older standards without airbags using “the design was approved in the past” excuse, but that’s totally cool in aviation.
I think the point is that a paid api is a replacement for the ad based monetisation model. So if the user is paying for using the api, they no longer should be seeing ads.
This actually looks incredible. Maybe this will be the turning point for Intel.
Sounds like a regrettable epsiode. However, looking at the deletion, I see he was deleted as non-notable. Debates about notability are common on WP and not inherently political.

Back in the day (2006-2010ish, I think) I was a pretty active member of the Association of Deletionist Wikipedians. I was kind of on a crusade against people who would put up their own pages to try to promote themselves, in violation of the Wikipedia is an Encyclopedia policy. Mainly, I was worried that it would be untenable to keep WP accurate if we had too many pages. I also went on a rampage deleting pages for individual pokemon, which I'm not proud of. There was a well-established consensus at the time that most individual pokemon did not meet the notability threshold (I don't remember the exact criteria, but it had to do with multiple sources of the information being available) and therefore their pages should be deleted. Looking back, that was kinda silly... The Wikipedia is not Paper policy probably outweighs the Wikipedia is an Encyclopedia policy when it comes to Pokemon.

Anyway, I don't doubt that there is a political element in the case of this Kyle guy, but it's probable that I would have voted to have him deleted on completely apolitical grounds. (I haven't heard of him and haven't read enough to form a political or notability opinion on him at this point)
I don't think it's fair to equate static site generators with SPAs. At its core, a static site generator just renders markdown and slots it into html templates. That's nice and convenient and still perfectly simple.
You cannot sustain a business by losing money.
Neat! I kept pestering them about how to figure this stuff out and hopefully they got enough people doing it that they finally made a page for it.
protobuf clang fuzzer is some related work [1][2]

> transforming fuzzed programs so that they produce meaningful output, allowing differential testing to be used as a test oracle, and paving the way for fuzzer-generated programs to be integrated into compiler and code analyser regression test suites.

But this ^^ seems particularly novel! Sadly, fuzzers like the protobuf one often produce compiler crashes due to failed assertions that are difficult to prioritize over other compiler features/fixes that are more obviously relevant. But if it can find a miscompile, that's a real big deal IMO.

Valid code != best (or even good) practices.
It's the same reason we still talk about Jung and Freud even though most of their work is considered unscientific nonsense by modern psychology. Taylor was just popular at a crucial junction when the scientific management zeitgeist first started forming.

Those middle ages of the industrial revolution created a lot of first movers we still associate with fields that have long since moved on.
How is this different enough from Prop 22 in California to make it "the first"? Does it include pay for idle time?
historically, aircraft have those antennas mounted on their belly and with low power they blast them at the ground for powerful receivers to catch. For "ADS-B Diversity", which is the space based version, on a generic Cessna 172 that meets current ADS-B requirements, I would need to rip out my current ADS-B system and replace it with a $9,000 (plus labor) ADS-B system that has dual broadcasting antennas. I think the top mount antenna is also more powerful but I honestly do not know.

Space based ADSB only improves coverage for mountain ranges and oceans. It's mission in a mountainous situation is to fill the gap when radar coverage is lost but you have low altitude (in relation to ground, not sea level) traffic, such as arriving and departing traffic.

assuming this map is accurate, you can appreciate how aircraft below 15,000 ft would be constantly falling in and out of ADS-B coverage if they themselves were changing altitude.
> 1- remove that NFC nonsense.

That "NFC nonsense" is an optional brushhead replacement reminder feature. It never stops you from continuing to use a brushhead, and if you hate the reminder, you can turn the feature off completely.

You can also buy brushheads that dont have NFC chips in them - its not required.
> How is Twitter rapidly decaying

As a business, it's obviously fucked. Revenues are down, regulators are circling and it's difficult to see them recovering when Musk has made a habit of publicly pillorying his customers.

Granted, it was the last boom's RJR-Nabisco/Harrah's Entertainment top-tick LBO, so it started the race ass first. But it's difficult to see Twitter avoiding restructuring, a necessarily distracting and value-debilitating process. (On even a generous revenue multiple, its equity value is zero.)

Musk's only face-saving exit is to fold when a foreign regulator fines him.
