> Why would you want to use 3:2 pulldown unless your display is interlaced

At this point, the only great reason is that it's an industry standard, but that alone is more than enough reason to still do it, evidenced by the fact that so many people still do it.
actually it can, because threads has probably been in development for months? I doubt Zuck put it together since Friday. Most likely he knew Elon musk is an idiot who doesn't know the first thing about social media companies and has created a power vacuum for a Twitter like app, and now there's one for a Reddit like app..

If someone could marry the two, in a non profit Wikipedia sort of way, with decent Democratic way to moderate and vote on new features etc, we could kill two birds with one stone and replace both Twitter and Reddit.
Incoherent article conflates race with poverty.
If it was ready I assume they'd take the invite wall down.

I haven't got one either yet so don't know its state.
Couldn’t disagree with you more. Threads will be a flop.

The accounts that are most active/followed on Twitter are not the type of people that have Instagram accounts.

People with large followings are not going to simply switch, no matter how much they hate Elon.
This is functionally an extension of Instagram. It’s no more standalone than, say, Messenger.
I'm pretty sure Threads is a replacement for Twitter, not Reddit
His actions make zero financial sense. He bought it 30-40% overvalued, has tanked its income, destroyed its brand reputation, absolutely set fire to advertiser trust & safety.

Most estimates put it at ~25% of the value he paid 7 months ago.

All the debt you mention? He saddled them with that. That was t there until he came along. Another failure.

About the only positive financial thing you can say he did is cut payroll costs. Unfortunately he did that at the expense of site stability & reliability.

It will be studied in MBA programs as an example of what NOT to do

This is an exploit against the web server's configuration, so never executes Bitwarden's authentication code or any Bitwarden code at all. It isn't unusual or incorrect for projects to use their own authentication rather than Nginx or a module.

It is still Bitwarden's responsibility since they shipped a dangerous configuration via Docker. Which they seemingly acknowledge and have since fixed.

Nobody uses hashtags anymore. You can actually tell when someone is a clueless LinkedIn refugee because they hashtag random words in their sentences.
There's two channels here. From a user perspective "what made Twitter great" is also the least attractive parts for any other company to try and mimic. The absurd levels of pornography, the anonymous fan and joke accounts. From a business perspective, "what made Twitter great" was the easy to digest brands, the non-anonymous accounts sharing their day, and journalists/other named professionals providing up to date information directly without the need to learn how to video/image edit.

Meta does not understand the former, but they certainly do understand the latter. It's all they care about, and why they're bothering with this. It's certainly not out of a desire to replace Twitter for the goodness of their hearts, no they want the valuable aspects of Twitter.

I don't see how Twitter, without making any serious changes, will become anything more than a wasteland of people too crude for Threads but also too illiterate for Mastodon.
This is primarily related to profitability in different banking sectors. A few decades ago, a retail bank couldn't play with certain asset types and business models. After that regulation disappeared, banks found benefit in deposits for their loan books due to fractional reserve banking. But then the rate got lower and lower - so banks began to shut down retail operations, close down branches etc. (they also stopped being able to profit from easy access to retail customers through predatory housing loans etc...) then the reserve rate went straight to 0 during covid.

The small regional banks are scurrying for larger deposits (although not in much danger, investors are a fickle sort and think what happened to Silicon Valley bank had to do with poor safety etc. when it was a fluke and other similar banks like Western Alliance or Zion could weather much larger interest rate increases). They achieve these higher deposits with high interest rates on savings accounts (upwards of 5% right now on 12month CDs).

The largest banks ("too big to fail" is accurate) have access to different financing types and are active in institutional lending, market making etc. They can still make money using older style business models and thus Goldman has been trying to leave consumer banking. [2] That said, even for a consumer banking play this went badly for them. They liberally approved cardholders and didn't nickle and dime them, while issuing 16 billion [1] in loans to cardholders as of February. Being new to the game, they also have limited ability to actually pursue unpaid debt and have been selling loans of at big losses.

Just a heads up. All of your roles say you have 2 years of runway, not 3. The disparity in messaging might turn some people off.
I think the Instagram branding is deliberate.

Instagram is not a heavy political brand. This will attract the less controversial groups )like bird watchers) that generate great revenue while keeping out the controversial political ones that are massive money pits.
Is there a good summary of the trade offs of the various available models (open source) and their comparison to other models.
Do they check if all assets are purchased? Can't you download a texture off google images and use it in a game, even if the image is copyright?

Seems its heading to a gray area like youtube where you can have music in the video and its only an issue if someone checks for it.
> There is nothing different between how NSDAP whipped up a nation to go on a 6 year rampage across Europe than what's happening now. I've witnessed otherwise reasonable people justify the description of Russians as Orcs as a reasonable dehumanising racial slur in light of the Ukraine Russo conflict.

You must have the thinnest skin to imaginable to actually think this.

And the irony of this palatable considering how the Russians are acting similar to actual Nazis and mirroring some of their rhetoric.

Insulting a fascists invading force committing some of worst crimes imaginable is not the same as what the Nazis did.

> I don't see any sign Meta understands what made Twitter great

To be fair, I don’t think I’ve seen much sign that Twitter understands what made Twitter great, either.

(both before and after Musk)
You are 1000% right. Facebook’s value prop since instagram started doing stories has been ripping off successful social media apps. Snapchat but it’s done in instagram. TikTok but it’s done (less well) in instagram. Twitter paved over their moat, and their lunch is going to be eaten by this.
I don't see any evidence Musk understands what made Twitter great, either.

At this point, someone just needs to stand up a Twitter clone that can handle the traffic because I think most regular Twitter users are having a much worse experience on there now -- from my own anecdotal experience as a semi-heavy twitter user.
That’s a great diagnosis! Though yes I agree, that should all be moot because of the solution in your edit.
Sure, thanks! Seems like an interesting platform. skiman10 at duck.com

Not sure on the DM stuff, if you figure it out let me know!
I'm pretty confused about what you are asking. In the original post you made it sound like you don't want to consider CPU and RAM, and in this response, you do.

You could also look at how AWS Lambda does it. They have a standard base configuration, and for that one, you only pay for invocation of a function, and that function has to finish in some period of time before it's killed. If you want more RAM, or more CPU, or same CPU but more time to finish calculation, you pay above the baseline.

Also, it's not obvious to me that the Calculate component cannot be ignored. AWS Redshift Serverless and AWS Athena are all OLAP, and they all operate on a "data scanned" metering model, no CPU or RAM considerations.

Also - I am mostly familiar with AWS, so that's what I am suggesting here. Obviously you and AWS have completely different scalability considerations, so this might not apply at all. But, if you wanted to be competitive, then in the end you'd have to be better than AWS on price, so starting there is not a bad idea, even if in the early days you are doing something different
> not consuming enough comprehensible input

I wonder if the nature of internet discourse has also changed, reducing how much there is. Comparing wiki.c2.com style pages/discussions with reddit now, things evolve in a much less coherent manner, there is less of a conversational back and forth truly developing ideas and more of a show-offy approach. Perhaps topics are also more difficult - e.g. learning CSS today with 30+ units of measurement must be hell compared to back in the day.
>Instagram has a web version

The web version is downright awful. Maybe given this is a greenfield project, it won't meet the same fate... but yea. The "web version" of instagram is basically here's a 4x scaled version of the app without much regard to a desktop UI/UX.
C has everything to do with optimizer passes, the language definition is what allows them to happen! The fact that you get about what you'd expect on -O0 is merely incidental, the specification does not afford you this.
The invite system just really gives off Google+ vibes and I'm wondering if we end up in the same place after Threads launches. Facebook/Meta seems really poised to eat Bluesky's lunch in a few days.
> The worst part of incorrect refresh rates for me is on panning footage and you get those janky blocky tears in the image.

That sounds a lot more like rolling shutter artifacts than 3:2 pulldown. What kind of camera are you using? Are you shooting with a CMOS sensor?

Mineral patches are farther apart, but much richer. The starting patches will have a few thousand units, ones that require a train ride to get to will have millions of tens of millions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqJ3Vx6tdbc

One build style has you rushing to decent weapons, then walking far from spawn to set up your main base, so you don't have to bother with trains to get up to rockets. (The patches are randomly placed and don't have exclusion zones, so it's not impossible to see a 10M iron, copper, coal and oil all next to each other.)
I've got the opposite request. I'd love a native 720p oled of a decent size for playing Switch (and PS3/360, I've got a bit of collection) games on.

It's probably a niche market, but most games on the switch run natively at somewhere between 720 and 1080p and look awful scaled up to 4k.
I wouldn't say arrogant, really. The Economist definitely has an audience, which is in my view an educated urban professional who works in financial service, or maybe tech or tech-adjacent, or something on the periphery of government. So the tone is spot on, in my estimation. I'm probably just a cynical American and am too used to my news media intentionally lying to me, so don't take it personal if my question and/or explanation came off as rude. I did check out the links, thanks for providing them.
I got it. A little over 900 posts. What do we think... Host on Github to ensure GPT gets its training data?
I do wonder how much stickiness Twitter has for professional niche communities. Don't they also enjoy shitposting? Isn't what makes it kinda work -- the interconnectedness of the platform?

Oh, I totally agree. I just don't think that means Meta will win here.

I read your article this morning before coming across this post. I really enjoy the economist and thought your article was well-written. I think many folks, including myself, have become very cynical about content that isn’t overtly anti-industry.

I appreciate that you’ve come to this post to respond, especially in light of the mixed reviews your article seems to be receiving here. I also appreciate that you linked your sources here upon request.
Worked in eye-tracking research for a bit.

Things you learn;

- Small text is hard to read

- Making things hard to read means they get missed sometimes

- Making it the only thing on the screen makes people try to read it really hard

- Which makes them more likely to remember it later

I work in UI/UX design and this f*cked with my brain for a while. It's counter to everything we're being taught.

Human brains are fun.
Friend, I am a fan of, and highly recommend use your critical thinking skills to evaluate statements that others make before parroting them. I don't repeat things that make no sense on their face, like "Substack is scraping Twitter" or "Threads is bootstrapping off Twitter data".

Like, what would that even mean? Do you really think Meta is going to launch a Twitter competitor and just wholesale impersonate accounts and their content? If not, what even are you implying?

(from the "proof" link where Elon was accusing Substack of scraping:)

>2. Substack was trying to download a massive portion of the Twitter database to bootstrap their Twitter clone, so their IP address is obviously untrusted.

lol, reading that still makes me chuckle. I can't believe people eat his crap up even when the circumstances make it clear that he's backpeddaling and desperately trying to save face.
Ahh okay. That explanation makes sense. Thanks!
Journalists are not that critical to it. They actually get paid for contributing to other sites, some of which Musk has now banned like Substack, and they specifically don't get paid to tweet.

There are other large communities on Twitter. These include sports, semipro artists, the nation of Japan, people in politics, and a variety of assorted insane people and scammers like crypto, VCs and vaccine skeptics.

The reason it's failing is that the last group now owns the site.
There is a field of education, that studies teaching and learning! In fact many of you who attended university and studied at a "school of computer science" would have been in a building next to a "school of education".

This post is interesting, but it reads like a layperson (from a teaching point of view) coming up with some fairly good theories of learning (of which there are quite a few) and discussing how applying them makes concrete differences in knowledge acquisition.

If I was to make a guess, I'd say that the 'effortful' component the author discusses is most aligned with something commonly called the "transformation" stage of learning -- where the student takes things they have heard, seen, or experienced and attempts to transform some part of the world using them. A silly but apt example would be watching a youtube video on solving a rubik's cube, then having to transform the state of a real rubik's cube using your new knowledge.

This idea, and related ones, continue to be discussed at length by those who develop curriculum for educational institutions, and at a more meta-level, those who develop lessons for students who will later write a curriculum! I see a few links in sibling comments to Aviation learning, Youtube, PBS, but not to documents produced by any university on theory of learning. Perhaps they need to better link their work for smart hn readers to find.
Assembler has types : bytes, words, floats, addresses, even strings and "functions". They are easily worked around by design though, in similar ways in assembler and C.
>These are things you can just look up. The LLM contributes nothing that the internet didn't already provide

The internet doesn't allow one to design _new_ weapons, possibly way more effective (which if you read carefully the first story, this one does).

>I'm not sure that LLMs significantly increase the attack surface here.

Being able to ask an AI to develop new deadly varieties which we'll not be able to detect or cure, and may be easy to produce, doesn't increase attack surface?

>Also, sarin gas doesn't pose an existential risk to humanity

Is x-risk the only thing we care about? The entire thread started with arguing x-risk is a distraction. I would be very slightly more comfortable with that argument if people took 'ordinary' risks seriously.

As it is, all camps have their heads in the sand in different ways. The illusion here is that AI advancement changes nothing, so the only thing worth discussing are variations of the current culture war issues, when obviously it does change everything even if completely put aside AGI/alignment arguments. e.g. If labour won't matter for productivity that has very grim political implications.

>To my point, they didn't "try"!!! They DID.

That's the point. Give me an x-risk scenario the doomers warn about, and I'll find you a group of humans which very much want the exact scenario (or something essentially indistinguishable for 99% of humanity) to happen and will happily use AI if it helps them. Amusingly, alignment research is unlikely to help there - it can be argued to increase the risk from humans.

>there are some mitigations we could introduce such that the barrier to using LLMs for this sort of thing

There are many things we can do in theory to mitigate all sorts of issues, which have the nice property of never ever being done. e.g. Yud's favorite disaster scenario appears to be a custom built virus. This relies on biolabs accepting random orders, which leaves the question of why are we allowing this at all (AI or not)? There's no good reason for allowing most crypto to exist, given its current effects on society, even before AGI comes into question, yet we allow it for what reason exactly?

If there's any risk here at all, we can safely rely on humanity doing nothing before anything happens - but in the case of x-risk actually existing, there's no reason to assume we'll have a second chance.
I've owned 6 UltraSharps and 2 of them are even nearly 20 years old and still work. I gave them to someone a few years ago. My old office had UltraSharps and they were flawless, I even requested them because the monitors they originally gave me hurt my eyes. Maybe you just got a bad egg, which happens to virtually every manufacturer.
> I often wonder how much more productive I could be if I didn't need to split changes like this into 50 small commits, where every intermediate commit is working and has passing tests...

This is down to a trade-off between ease of writing and ease of review.

Yes, if you didn't have to make your work presentable, you could bang it out faster. But then no one could read it.
A poor craftsman blames his tools... instead of fixing them.

How so many programmers read that as license to use crap tools boggles me.
Twitter doesn't have "free speech rules". There is no connection between something Elon said once and the actual moderation system. This is true even though he owns it.

(The mods seem to ban accounts that get enough reports without really reading them. If I report an account it does tend to get banned 3-4 months later even though they've already sent me an email saying they ignored my report.)
Given that Youtube copied it for their "shorts" clone of TikTok/Reels, it must be working for the platforms...
Groups has also slowly become a killer feature of FB. There are very strong niche communities there; it’s a direct competitor to Reddit in that way. It’s pretty much the only reason I keep opening the FB app, but it is enough to keep me opening it.
What an odd response. Presumably the grandparent post meant the author of the article, which is omitted (as far as I can tell).
Also interesting that if you read the original Starcraft manual, you'd notice that there were massive retcons as early as Brood War (particularly with the Terrans).

Some board games come with pretty hefty manuals, still. Twilight Imperium comes with a whole separate lore booklet that has nothing to do with playing the game.
Well there's "high end" consumer and then there's "high end" professional which is a few times higher in price
Chris, I’m trying to meet you where you are but it’s not working. This is not the place for a discussion like this. You’re not even engaging with what I’m saying. Honest to god man I’ll talk to you about this all day and discuss it in good faith, but nested comments in HN are not the place for it. Shoot me an email, find me on Twitter, insta, whatever.
Dehumanising is Dehumanising, nothing to do with my skin, I'm not Russian or Ukrainian.
It has nothing to do with 3:2 pulldown. It is all about refresh rates of the monitor. I've shot for years on global shutter (specifically Sony F55), so it absolutely 100% was not a rolling shutter issue either. The same footage can be viewed on another monitor and the tearing issue is not present.

Edit to match your edit: "The book suggests editors prioritize emotion over the pure technicalities of editing."

This totally depends on the content and level of production. I've edited content from properly staffed productions with script notes with circle takes and all that stuff. It's always fun to stack up the various takes to see how the director feels about the takes from the day of the shoot and seeing it edited context. It's also fun to see the actor's variations from take to take.

On shoots with barely enough crew so the camera op is also the boom op, it's basically all feel from the editor.
