Wait, so it's just "five Kelvin", not "five degrees Kelvin"? TIL.

Now that I think about, what's the etymological reason we use "degrees" to talk about temperature? We don't measure force in "degrees Newton" or electric current in "degrees Ampère". Why do we do it for Celsius and Fahrenheit?
You get ads on Twitter? Strange, my adblocker still works on the web version
It is true. UN has a report on it - https://www.un.org/sites/un2.un.org/files/attention_economy_...

The only small correction would be AI is not required. What was required to overwhelm everything is Cost of Broadcast dropping to 0. Spammers and scammers can mass bombard billions 24*7 cause there is no big cost per message sent. The cost is borne by the receiver to wade through the ever growing sewage placed in front of them. As a result less than 0.5% of content produced is consumed as mentioned in the report. Its probably similar to HN but HN is not going to measure it or inform you about it.
Well, depending on how well-moderated the Facebook thing turns out to be (I would not be particularly optimistic, though you never know) you avoid subjecting your users to all sorts of unpleasantness.

I'm keeping an open mind, for now (though I'm pessimistic, because, well, it's Facebook, and Facebook are _bad_ at this), but I may end up moving instance over this (either direction; maybe threads is a net benefit but my instance defederates, maybe it's bloody awful but my instance doesn't).

I actually see this as an upside of the federated approach; I get to choose whether I want exposure to this.

Maybe we should leave that to full-time historians, because I have never seen attributed to Jackson a number of critical traits attributed to 45th - by his own supporters.

Edit: maybe we should read this text, to be aligned at least with the accusations:

Edwin L. Battistella, "Dangerous Crooked Scoundrels - Insulting the President, from Washington to Trump" (Oxford University Press)

> ø Features over 500 insults in a sweeping journey through two and a half centuries of the ridicule and revilement Americans have directed at their presidents; ø Puts today's political climate in perspective by tracing invective back to the nation's earliest days; ø Explains the historical context and linguistic origins of the insults, providing a sense of the history of the presidency and of the English language

None of them! Programming languages are designed to be machine parsed and compiled to working code. For me, most languages incorporate too many punctuation characters ("fly dirt" as a co-worker once called them) with different meanings for different languages. I almost suggested Lisp, but the long-hyphenated-function-names detracts from its otherwise simple syntax.
My question is, after the twitter fiasco, there is a number of competitors, like skyblue or this threads that have been created to remplace it (I dont count Mastodon, because it was not created to remplaced, but as an open alternative).

Why absolutely no big company (MS, facebook, google, amazon, etc...) is attempting the same with Reddit? Not even discord has done any single change to try to steal any userbase from it.
The users they need to lure over are athletes, musicians, artists, actors etc. They all are already on Instagram, so they can use Threads while maintaining all their followers.
Well, "John Wayne" is the stage name. One presumes that any coin would use a person's legal name. John Wayne was actually named Marion Wayne. I would understand the naming of the airport as a tribute to the character rather than the actor.
Thanks, that's good to know for future.

I've finally come to the conclusion that user tracking is generally a poor practices and should be regulated.

As a web developer, I didn't see it as a big problem.
We always do it to maximize ad revenue, find out where users leave to increase conversion rate, and simply to improve UX.
But even when the intent is to improve UX, tracking is inappripriate.

Imagine if a robot vacuum recorded videos of your home and uploaded them so that bunch of ML engineers can see and use it to improve the algorithm.
Or the videos of your car's camera (both of inside and outside).
I mean, I'm not surprised if this is already happening, but it's a disturbing thought and should be regulated.

We can certainly develop functional services without tracking users.
Doesn't just giving a VM both threads of the core mitigate that ?
Sourcegraph is no longer open source
License was changed almost 3 weeks ago, 5.1.0 release blog post skips this information. There's still no official announcement.

(a) It's not necessarily the same 'they'.

(b) The mechanics of XMPP vs ActivityPub (ie point to point messages vs social media stuff) are very different.

(c) It's Facebook, and a lot of people really, really, _really_ don't trust Facebook, particularly on the privacy side. I think if this was, say, Tumblr/Automattic, or even Google bringing Buzz back from the dead, the knee-jerk reaction would be lesser, even if the potential _problems_ would be similar; Facebook just has a horribly compromised reputation (note that they _renamed_ themselves, which is not generally what you do when you have a well-regarded brand).

Not that they actually get questioned properly about actual stats, but they can confidently say they have GA set up and it’s showing some numbers, so just trust us.

It's pretty simple. Developing and sharing open source work is paid hobby at best. There is almost no other rewards, even to try improving one's employability is hazardous at best. Always have, always is. This a cause a lot of frustration to people that expected anything else, but it's true to most non-economically motivated work.

It's done, or should be done, by people that want to build things they like and share it. Any other use is just some kind of hidden or not so welcome motive, and seen for what it is. Billion dollars companies or not.
They meant that the name "degree Kelvin" is obsolete (since 1967 according to Wikipedia), not that the unit of measurement itself is obsolete.
Yes - it is more or less the same. In the EU they have to provide the data to the local authorities as well.

Using any analytics, hosted in US, in the EU or hosting it myself, will involve moving and storing PII.

To be clear, I agree we should keep PII in EU. But I doubt that an EU solution will improve anything for the end user.

Of course you are correct. The people you are discussing with and who pretend not to understand may be several of the numerous outsourced employees in the Czech Republic or Germany who are awake now.
About 15 years ago, I spent a while on a project to train a language model on a corpus of math, with idea to create a math exploration assistant. The project foundered on my inability extract the typeset math and proofs from print materials into a consistent, machine-readable form. How did OpenAI do it? Don't tell me they OCRed Google Books.

Honest question: why buy so many RGB lights? Is it for parties? Or it's just impossible to buy a good quality non-RGB light anymore because vendors/retailers push thick margin products?

I only use dim warm lights and dirt cheap regular bulbs work great. They last pretty long in that scenario (depends on the unit but that's also true for LEDs) and consume less energy too.

I think there's a widespread misconception about the reason ECS exists and what problems it solves. It's a design for a general-purpose game engine where it solves the problem of having some conception of the game world and the things that make it up without knowing in advance what those things will be. This is a common issue with loads of different approaches in game engines.

ECS contrary to popular imagination doesn't have to be implemented with data-oriented principles and there are lots of implementations, particularly in dynamic languages that use the same design without the performance boost you might get once you do follow them. Once you unpick the data-oriented rabbit hole you quickly discover it also largely complicates the original design.

If you have a specific thing in mind then use the data-oriented principles on that and skip building something general purpose. This works for games as well as business applications. It'll be much simpler and easier to make performant.
But then you still do the same thing, but you host it yourself. Meaning: it is installed and left running for years without updates and monitoring. I then rather have Google handle things.

I mean, that would be a completely different situation. The only reason it makes any sense for Facebook to even try this is that Twitter has spent the last nine months or so repeatedly shooting itself in the foot. As it is, there's a vacuum. Particularly this week; really remarkable timing on their side.

Now, it's Facebook, so I don't have particularly high hopes for it being any good. But they really were handed a remarkable opportunity by Twitter's... recent decisions.
Offer to keep the menus up to date for them yourself, for a price. Now you know how much they’ll be willing to pay for a solution, and you’re in a nice position to develop your product from (that will replace you).
This is confusing to me.

Rather than one or two good, open, reference implementations everyone uses you'd rather have multiple proprietary solutions? That seems worse for people who want to learn from a commons of knowledge and hugely inefficient and a waste of time.

I can see an argument for copyleft style licenses for this stuff (though I fundamentally disagree with them, freedom based on copyright that requires police and courts to enforce isn't free) but you appear to be arguing for completely closed solutions, though I assume I'm misunderstanding?
That's entirely apple's fault.

> You can actually have ads tailored after the content of the page you are looking at. You don't have to stalk and track users.

Alas, a lot of the stalking and tracking are measurements. I wrote our own small adserver. We have first party ads, either our own or with smaller partners like stores, that are nothing but HTML, CSS, and images. Fully contextual, no consent required (and so far ad-blocker safe as we are too small).

But everything with the bigger fish (e.g. Sony) goes through agencies who want full control, who clicks, who sees it, etc. The ads are still fully contextutal, but the measurements require all kinds of consent. So we actually hand the TCF string (some kind of shady adtech consent declaration) that our consent tool generates to that adserver because now that decides what they can do… Generally, if someone uses an adblocker or rejects Google Ads (pretty much a canary option as I can’t be arsed to handle the ins and outs of the tcf string), we default to first-party only.
It's a problem introduced at least in part by SPAs. When the application runs entirely in the client browser, save for a few API calls (that may be shared between multiple pages) it's difficult to tell which pages are actually being viewed, unless you have the client application report back to you (or to Google)
That touches on something I've pondered for a while:

Maybe the popular sci-fi image of "artificial brains" with humanoid bodies actually turns out to be more accurate than the technical view that robotics and artificial intelligence are mostly separate fields!

What if, instead of machine learning being a source of features we can maybe later build into robots, it's the other way round? What if direct interaction with the real world through robotic limbs and sensors turns out to be what it takes to get AI to stop hallucinating?

What if, furthermore, having a body turns out to be an essential requirement for AI to develop a sense of self? Not just because of sensory feedback, but simply because it provides an anchor point for identity?
What I am curios about is how much people actually use ALL the analytics information provided by a lot of these tools. I know Matomo and other such open source/self-hostable solutions, but how much info do you really use?

I think for most use cases users would want to know if their content is consumed/read. Maybe how long someone spends on it and where they came from. For this sort of stuff you can write a small script to parse your logs. I did something along these lines to parse Caddy logs to get some idea of how many people visit a link. That's really all I needed and the great part is that I run it whenever I want an update, so it's not consuming resources constantly. The logs are cleared and the output is saved before logs are cleared so I know Article 1 had 39 views (or less!) and Article 2 had 5 views and so on...

So I think we're overdoing it and we would benefit from taking a few minutes before going down the rabbit hole of analyzing EVERYTHING.
Maybe I don't know what an 'everything' app is, but this just sounds like a banking app to me (with the exception of the last 'feature').

It's not cherry-picking since my very first comment raised this issue. If you don't read attentively before replying that's on you.

A position like "I know it's true but I'm not going to substantiate it" doesn't contribute much.

Email: david.q.hogan@gmail.com

Hello, I am an exited cofounder/CTO of a SaaS company that provides a no-code environment to insurance companies for building video focused insurance claim management systems, and ex-CTO of the company that acquired it. Prior to cofounding I was a C++ engineer specialising in real time communication technologies such as VoIP. The time I spent building a SaaS (and scaling up post acquisition) involved wearing every conceivable technical hat. I also spent a fair bit of time working directly with insurance companies to design integration projects and new platform features in response to their needs.

I have empathy for users.

Post-exit, I have been working on personal and open source technical projects, such as my recently released pet project NakedJSX: https://nakedjsx.org. I am also a core dev team member of VICE (the 8-bit Commodore computer emulator) where I have focused on the significant performance gains made possible by migration to a multi-threaded architecture.

I am still hungry to design, build, lead, and grow - and I would love to talk to you about your project. I am probably best suited for an early-stage / small organisation, but also curious about life in a larger organisation that could use someone who relentlessly gets things done. I think I would enjoy working remotely for a U.S. based startup.
Can the title be changed to something like "India: The Surprising Striver in the World’s Space Business"?

To clarify, you think a license saying "You can exercise freedom 4, but only if you never use any updated version of this software again" is just as free and GPL compatible?
I was about to agree with you, until I noticed they called it a "text-based conversation app". I just scrolled through my Twitter feed, and out of the first 50 posts in my feed, 46 of them were accompanied by either an image or a video. If Threads truly is a text-only platform, then the communities I'm a part of won't have any use for it.
Depends on what exactly the two of you mean by "default library". It's a fork of libjpeg alright, but from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libjpeg#History we do get this:

> In 2019, libjpeg-turbo became the ISO and ITU endorsed reference implementation for the JPEG format. [13]

The paragraph that follows might help to clarify why this happened.

They renamed the airport after he died, in his honour, as a prominent figure and a neighbour.

Besides, even if you use the standard tool today, five years from now this will be "the tool that was standard five years ago" unless you actively migrate every so often. There are a few domains where the standard tools remain the same for a long while (Google Analytics being one), but often the standard tooling shifts more frequently than that.

It's clear you didn't even bother to look at plausibles data policy [1] before assuming what it does and doesn't collect.
The TL;DR: it does not fingerprint, and it does not collect any identifiable information, be it about your device or your person.

> Bottom line, the website visitors data is still logged, stored and tracked - only now with a different actor.

Only basic device info is logged (not even IP addresses are stored). And it's very easy to self host so that different actor may be yourself.
