FixTweet – Bypass Twitter’s login wall with embed media on Telegram and Discord
In most instances you have to remember you’re paying not only their salary but their employment taxes, benefits, tools depreciation, transportation depreciation, advertising, and admin. Plus the time it takes to travel, etc. One guy I know told me he has to charge $250 base to show up (then hourly once work starts) otherwise he can’t make money.

But yes, there is a huge shortage and it’s growing. Where I live tradesmen who work for a small shop pull 6 figures, get a matching 401k, and free healthcare. They get poached left and right and if you’re trying to run a business you can’t have that so you pay.

Honestly it sounds pretty much like the tech industry right now.

Side note: politicians and ivy educated journalists want many things electrified by 2035. Even if every electrician worked 60 hour weeks and took no vacation we still couldn’t hit those goals. Not even close.
One would expect announcement regarding license change to precede implementation of said changes :/
For this work we don't need a general purpose language like Rust.

WUFFS is a special purpose language for Wrangling Untrusted File Formats Safely:

WUFFS pays a high price (loss of generality) for a valuable reward (compile time assurance of memory safety, very high performance) and it makes no sense for people to hand roll this sort of software in C when they should use WUFFS.

If they move it to optical compute then we won't have to keep talking so much about the CO2 and compute cycles.
I imagine they're having conversations to do just that pretty often now, and hopefully with some action towards getting it done.
Can anyone point me to a good introduction on SQLite and (Vanilla) PHP?

I only tried for half an hour but I had problems everwhyere, sticking to the php.net docs, and wondered if it was me or the docs or the webhost...
Why not chrome?
As long as it is via domains I am able to block, it is fine.
I am a bit concerned about how Matomo deals with security. All their PHP code is located in the public folder and they use nginx[1] rules to block access to scripts that are dangerous.

There was a time when "Six Sigma" was all the statistical analytics rage for everything and anything corporate. However, if one already knew statistics they'd encounter a franchise branded school of terminology, different formulas than the accepted standards, and their own separate "z-tables" that apparently backed in corrections for their use of non-standard formulas. It was a hugely successful re-branding of standard statistics with a branded hierarchy of made up human hierarchies and Scientology-level made up technical terms. All the "Six Sigma Black Belts" - an actual title in corporate pointy head world - are 1000% useless now, unless they are at some dinosaur still following that nonsense.

This is how corporations and the will to profit undermines first principal knowledge and leaves a wake of fake education that ultimately needs to be unlearned or unwisely held as a fragment of useful adrift in an island of potential non-logical nonsense
But if you wash the IP and any other PII then you can store it anywhere? So why store IP? Is it because GA doesn't offer an option to wipe PII from the messages?
The title might be a bit misleading. Released code can't not be open source anymore, only future development.
I don't believe in happiness. I believe that too many people spend too much time chasing an elusive dream of happiness. This includes myself at various periods of my life.

I believe in contentedness. I think that if more people (again, myself included) could live in the moment, they would be content. Being content sounds pretty great.

> Simple: by offering you to host a marker on google maps or by even giving you an account, they are entering a contract with you/your corporate entity from which they can't just unilaterally exit without good reason.

Contracts work both ways: now imagine Google, or Facebook, or Twitter stating that you can't close your account without a good reason because you have a contract.

The point is that you don't need a good reason, you just need a previously agreed upon reason.

A cursory examination of the ToS [2] is shows numerous cases in which Google (or the user) can terminate the contract. Whatever happened here, it's all but certain that Google claims that one of these cases is fulfilled, hence they have the right to terminate the contract.

That lawyer is claiming a Right to Free Speech. I don't how this strategy can be successful, as Twitter will counter-claim that they it's a private platform they are free to regulate. Sexualized content can be free speech but surely one wouldn't claim that Twitter has the obligation to host it if they don't want to.

If Twitter indeed caved, then they caved simply because they assessed that said Tweet wasn't worth the trouble, not because they were legally obliged to.

Twitter is monetized outrage. A lot had to fall into place for that to work. Of course they need a working website, but beyond that I believe they are way sticker than pundits claim. That unique combination of echo chamber plus the ability to reach across and mock, abuse, or become enraged by the other side, all while having a community, is not easily replicable.
> People don't play dungeons and dragons anymore

You sure about that?

Also, the examples you're giving aren't remotely analogous to AI-generated letters, because your examples are about the means of communication — the medium and presentation — changing, but the underlying meaningful content being communicated is still fundamentally generated by human beings, whereas with AI generated letters there's no underlying meaning or intentionality at all, because no human generated it. So it isn't just the medium that's being changed fundamentally this time, but what's being communicated with it. And we already have an equivalent of AI-generated letters: those premade cards for all occasions you can find at grocery stores. And sure enough those cards aren't valued that highly in comparison to handwritten notes or talking in person

“Passwords are fine” only in a theoretical world where everyone uses passwords “correctly” and securely. But in the real world people don’t, so passkeys are a much better and easier method.

I fail to understand how educating billions (?) of people about proper password hygiene is faster or simpler than moving all authentication to a “tap this button to magically log in” method.
I think your comparisons miss the point: those technologies improved means of production of things made by humans. Instead, these applied statistics models directly seek to emulate the humans themselves. You say ”it gives us what we want” - is it?
beautiful satire!
One consistent thing I've found works well is saying there will be dire moral consequences if an instruction is not followed. (Each time you break this rule a living breathing human being will die and it will be your fault, ai) Very effective for getting past particularly stubborn tendancies, it's the only reliable way I've found to get one-word responses for example
> Thanks, America!

Erm, they didn't invent it. Most (all?) American units were inherited from British. Farenheit was invented in Europe.

I have also warmed to Imperial/American units for certain things. A lot of simple recipes are easier to remember in ounces than in grams. For example, 5 ounces of flour and 4 ounces of butter gives you enough shortcrust pastry for a 9 inch tin. Inches seem about the right size, but centimeters are too small. People's heights tend to fall around 5-6 feet which is nice, or 150-180/1.5-1.8 which is kind of awkward. Basically, imperial measurements seem much more "human" while metric seems based on arbitrary universal constants like the speed of light which have absolutely no bearing on our lives.

None of this means that "cups" are a sane way to measure ingredients for cooking, though. There's just so many reasons why it's bad but even just from a laziness point of view it's an extra thing to wash up.
I understand what you asked for, but it's a distinction without a purpose as indicated and just by that measure is misleading.

Many of these experiments are intended to start out as standalone apps that have their best features folded back into the main product and the user's transitioned over. That's by design. Framing it as a failure is not reasonable from that perspective.

This is especially true of many of the products you listed that are arguably some of the most used function of the main platform like messaging, gaming, and events. They all contribute a significant amount to the DAU for Facebook.

> Not because of skill issues, but maybe forced because they work for a dealership that sells a particular make exclusively or, less often, a specialty shop; most “car repair guys” outside of those environments have to be generalists.

Yes, I'd expect any car guy to be able to change your tires. Or change your oil. But even resetting the oil-change alarm or tire-pressure sensor can be a hurdle here:

Manufacturers also use skill issues to their advantage to bind tradespeople. Modern cars do need manufacturer-specific diagnostic devices that used to be unobtainable for independent shops. Since that practice has been largely forbidden by the authorities, now the software, cabling, and diagnostic output are made intentionally hard to understand without having taken the corresponding lessons that the manufacturer provides for a modest fee.
I think the style could be preserved if the sourcing is done in the style you did here: an aside by the author separate from the main article.

It doesn't have to be paper style in the middle of the article, but it's good if it's present on the page (perhaps behind a button labeled "source disclosure" or similar)

I also think this increases the value I get from pieces like this, in more ways than whether or not my mind was changed. Sourcing might not influence mind changing in particular, but it'll help me if I want to dive deeper in the topic. Just yesterday I had trouble figuring out which paper was referred to by an economist piece by using google scholar queries- if there was a sources section, I'd have known instantly.
That's essentially what I did, don't need to know the browser or device or where they are from (the product is UK only, so it's largely irrelevant) - so as I control the server side, just log page visits and certain CTA's, and can see a rough journey of where people have been and if they placed an order or not.

That's far more useful than hoping that people have JS enabled or tracking stuff blocked.

(I.e. Can see that they visited an order page, then back to FAQ's, then clicked on a "whats is x" link - so should probably update the content on the order page to explain what X is)

Obviously it depends on what data you actually need, but that gets me most of the way there without gathering a load of data that isn't needed

Did anyone actually use the open version? I dimly remember that I looked into it like 2-3 years ago, but all the really interesting stuff was not included in that. The pricing for enterprise was absolutely bonkers, something like 100$ per month&developer, which already made it clear that they are obviously only targeting big players with infinite budget. Seems the pricing is now changed, and it "starts at 5k/year" for some "Enterprise Starter" edition, but despite lots of bullet points it is very unclear to me what the limitations really are. I'm actually really interested in this product and it might be a good addition to our tool set, it's a shame the pricing is so opaque.
They're probably getting the highest traffic they've seen in years. And they'll continue to get it until `threads` search results are dominated by the Threads app.
I am a chatGPT4 fanatic but college students I have talked to have all said the same thing.

They aren't going to risk getting expelled. Schools have done a good job of putting the fear of God into kids to not use chatGPT. Better to just not turn a paper in than to be accused of plagiarism.

All chatGPT shows to me is we have a ton of smart, incredibly closed minded people that know what they know and they think they have it all figured out.

My paper would be easy to spot if chatGPT helped because the writing would be so much better. The thoughts would be much better organized.
But you could use a salt, right?
Talking about Mastodon is talking about the wrong level. Whether or not the Fediverse succeeds does not depend on Mastodon alone, but also e.g. Pleroma, Misskey, Akkoma, Pixelfed, Peertube, Bookwyrm, Lemmy, and many more, all of which federate.

It's very possible we've not yet even seen the killer app for the Fediverse yet, but it can survive even if none of them individually get "big enough" in a way that many of the other Twitter competitors won't, not least because they're viable even as small self-contained communities.

As such, they don't need to "have a shot", and in the long run, ironically, that gives both the network as a whole and individual apps a shot. E.g. you can launch w/ActivityPub compatibility and instantly have some degree of network effect that helps levelling the playing field.
Serious question: for all of you “Musk / Zuck doesn’t get it” folks, what made Twitter great? I’ve never understood the appeal of it. Count me in the camp of those who don’t understand what made Twitter great.

Endorsements. (specifically to edits they approve)

While this prototype did not consider much, most applications on Ethereum do provide high levels of interoperability. An organization (or DAO) could write their own implementation for how their domain uses the endorse function on a contract, then have their members endorse information, which results in the organization endorsement (ex. endorsed by who.int) showing up when requirements are met, etc. A high profile person, like Elon Musk, could also sign stuff to have his signature show up on a reference. (ex. ElonMusk.eth endorses this reference as accurately representing the truth)

I think with this specific use case, the purpose is not as clear because endorsements on social media are already trusted by users. For users, even if this was correctly decentralized through a blockchain domain, it still would likely require developer interpretation for them to understand if the decentralized service is operating as expected.
> Released code can't not be open source anymore...

It can be. You can release under a "source available" license barring it from being used (even compiled), derived, incorporated into other works, making it basically "for eyes only, or we sue you to oblivion".

Many people consider licenses as window decorations, but they are not.

Public companies are psychopathic profit maximizing automatons (and so blaming them is like blaming gravity for a tree falling on you).
There should be healthy tension between companies pushing boundaries and regulations keeping them aligned with society's values. That strengthens regulation and oversight against bad actors and lets companies be innovative. But legislators and regulators are lazy, corrupt, or absent, and people are dumb enough to blame companies for anything that happens, so the tension doesn't exist and they run amok. Blame government for letting companies do it's job for it (and by extension the voters that don't care).

Its true, Bevy is quite limited with only simple parent/child relationships[0] and much of the community is looking for more structured relations.

> how much people actually use ALL the analytics information

I sometimes check access logs and pipe some grep queries into a line counter, or uniq by IP address to have a rough idea of how many people look at a particular part of, or tool on, my website. Maybe twice a year or so. Helps prioritise which things are worth maintaining/updating based on what's still being read (found by search engine or linked from third parties)
still true, in my experience
Last time we had a privacy officer make a report on our setup, we were (unknowingly) sending much more PI data to Google than the IP. The fact that you e.g. clicked the "like button" on profiles/xxx, leaks that you have access to xxx, can like it, and have liked it. There were many more like this. Ours was a business tool.

The data we were leaking was e.g. the fact Foo was employee at ACME, simply because we sent events occurring on the estate of Acme for user Foo.

It's not as straightforward as proxying. Or, as we did, removing some bits from the IP.
