Just curious, but once those games trigger curiosities you could still fall back into books and papers which are more in depth.

I feel there are two kinds of academic(or anything technical) knowledge in the world: One is of sugar, tastes sweet but does not provide much depth -- most youtube videos, blog posts and HN belong to this catalog. The other is of full course which provides in depth knowledge, and one needs not only to read but to try and practice based on them -- books, papers and some videos/blogs belong to this catalog.
> I feel like the people who are concerned enough to leave twitter over the direction it's going will not jump straight into another app completely controlled by a single person.

I think you vastly overestimate twitter users.
Business knowledge is hard to apply in the field as they require authority, buy in, and can be very consequential. And the other items outlined in the article (like lecturing on something you haven’t tried) appear to be just vehicles to spread misinformation.

Much like the actual blog post.
im there. Twitter just announced that they are going to force people to pay for a disgusting "im an idiot" blue checkmark to use tweetdeck, and that is it, we all hate Facebook and Meta but after what Twitter has become, a total cesspool of right wing hatebot accounts and Elon-fellating, Zuck is like a welcome sight.

Videos not being trackable is such a perplexing one. Is it intended to keep the user watching longer by forcing them to re-watch the whole video if they want to see something again?
Totally agree with that. It’s kind of like Reddit vs HN, the latter of which I’m done with..:I just feel more like a person here
> I believe businesses would just lie and say they are going to be part of the business but then just bury them anyway.

There are two main parts of this.

Antitrust laws don't typically concern themselves with bury vs incorporate. Even if Goodreads had been incorporated into Amazon, it still would have accomplished their major goal (prevent them from partnering with another company). And keeping them alive would have been just another part of Amazon's cost of acquisition. I wonder if it would have resulted in a lower offer.

Secondly, the government doesn't take companies at their word. When, for instance, Microsoft promises that Activision Blizzard titles will remain on Playstation for at least a decade, the government gets that in an enforceable contract.
I guess this is self-worth, but physical fitness. It's a priori useful and healthy, but in addition, attractive people are more confident and successful.

In a world where almost everyone above college age is a fat slob it's not at all difficult to set yourself apart.

I think political content has run its course as a source of eyeballs. Politicians engaging with people was novel in the 2008-12 " hope and change/Arab Spring" era.

It's since been gamified and weaponized for electoral gain. The algorithms pushed it too hard and monetized division to the point where all but the most addicted people have tuned out.
According to a recent article [1], quadratic quantum speedups are very unlikely to outperform classical computers in any application. This is assuming very optimistic parameters for future quantum computers. Grover's algorithm is therefore not considered useful in practice.

I want to see a social media site poach key users onto their platforms. NBA Twitter (over a million people easily) would switch overnight if Shams Charania and Adrian Wojnarowski suddenly switched platforms.

Goldman Sachs Looks to Divorce Apple – It Won't Be Quick
BW now uses Argon2 over PBKDF. I can’t remember if that is by default, opt-in, or new accounts. But barring an argon vuln, this is even less of a concern.

Also, I think BW has been using more than 100k for some time now. Last I saw 600K was the recommendation.
It's funny. A few years ago I gave a short talk/lesson at my workplace on the mathematics behind ECDSA and coded a visualization of the procedure very similar to this. An interesting fact about the finite field curve is that, because the plane loops around on both axes, given an addition A + B = C, there's many straight lines that pass through A, B, and -C. When animating the line to find the sum, I had to optimize the path taken to not fill the screen with lines, because the most straightforward line has a slope comparable to the height of the screen (i.e. it's nearly vertical), so rendering it is almost equivalent to a rectangle fill.
I do this for the main `ganache` package, which is also mostly webpacked (only because of the install-time improvements it enables, and for easier browser usage), but not the other monorepo packages (they are all still pre-1.0.0 versions anyway, so I'm not as concerned with API or transitive dep stability).

Truffle, which I don't work on myself very often, is more trusting of semver, and does use yarn for development.

I in the past 've had to step away from a Thanksgiving dinner to do a hot fix release due to a transitive semver breakage, so I'm probably more sensitive to its problems than others.

Yarn ignoring published lock files isn't totally crazy though. Yarn states that allowing automatic updates to transitive dependencies is better because users can respond to new security incidents faster than a chain of downstream package authors. An excellent point. My stance is that package authors generally introduce new breaking bugs/exploits much more often than they fix them; popular tools like Ganache are more likely to be the target of supply-chain attacks than non-financial tools.

I'd honestly love to switch to, or support, a version of yarn, or pnpm, that allows package authors to prefer strict transitive dependencies, that can then be overruled by consumers of the package of they prefer a looser policy.
That's basically what I do. 24" 4K in the middle and 2 17" eizos beside it. They're 1280x1024 though so I have 200% scaling in the middle and 100% at the sides. This causes some OS issues in FreeBSD (I mitigate with xrandr) and Windows which is still screwy to this day. On Mac it works perfectly but I don't use Mac much anymore.
Mastodon don't have a functional search. So we start there lol
I can easily tell the difference between 60hz and 120hz+, but it absolutely does not matter to me for web browsing and software development.

FWIW I do spend a lot of time with 120hz and 144hz displays.

For gaming it's awfully hard to go back to 60hz after tasting those high refresh rates. In fact, I've been saying that for 25 years. At the tail end of the CRT era a lot of higher-end CRTs could do like 90 or 100hz at 1280x1024. Most PC games couldn't push that many FPS even at lower resolutions but it really helped reduce flicker and eyestrain, even when staring at text in Windows.
According to Krashen, effort is not needed for comprehensible input to be effective. Rather, it is more likely that you are simply not consuming enough comprehensible input
Reddit will continue to take several hits from their own weird decisions, I don't see how Threads will have much of an impact there. Not unless they start repurposing Facebook Groups features to encourage that same sort of community aspect to topics.
Yep, just look at Australia - bending over backwards for the foreign mining companies, quivering in fear at the prospect of taxing them even a fraction of Norway's 78%. Spine vs spineless.
When was the last time, Facebook launched a successful standalone product?

- WhatsApp - acqusition
- Instagram - acquistion
- Messenger - acquisition
- Oculus - acquisition

Facebook has DNA to optimize feeds.
It, simply, lack the DNA to build good products from scratch.
My gut feeling no one will care about Threads, 6 months from now.

EDIT:

- Facebook was all-in on cryptocurrencies. The project is fully gone.
- Facebook was all-in on Messenger as a platform. The project is gone as well.
- Facebook also launched dating a few years back. That project is dead too.
- Someone pointed out in comments that Feed & Like as a concept was also based out of an acquisition called FriendFeed - https://techcrunch.com/2009/08/10/facebook-acquires-friendfeed/

As a long-time user, they have a shockingly glacial development pace. If I remember correctly, this has been in development since 2014 (that's 8 years) and the official client is still missing features(!) That's not to mention the issues others are having with it, such as the IRC logs in another part of this thread. I've also heard a lot of Synapse horror stories.
Yes. Mastodon is a feed 2.0.

Is there a particular subset of the industry you specialize in? Curious where the leetcode-lite/free areas might be (unfortunately I'm not in one of them).
Things are really shifting right now. We were caught in a relatively stable period for almost a decade, using the same few apps - but everyone's now making huge missteps. Reddit and Twitter are (maybe) collapsing, FB is moribound. Amazon became flooded with lowquality fakes and false reviews, Google search can't find anything etc. etc. These sort of laws (also GDPR etc.) increasing the burden of newer sites while also hitting established ones appear to throw a wrench into the works too.

This seems like the perfect time for new solutions to emerge! (Federation seems to be going nowhere (unable to actually handle hosting at scale).) Myself, I've returned to HN for the first time in many years and have been finding thriving young communities which almost remind me of my childhood. What a type to be alive!
This doesn't work because the success probability drops exponentially in the length of the algorithm. It is possible that any real application requires quantum error correction which has not been demonstrated in any meaningful way.

Not really. I meant that Balkan operation was nowhere even close in technological terms to the full-scale Russian invasion, supported by their most advanced air tech.

Twitter will persist as long as Journalists stay on it, and everyone paying attention knows that, including Musk.
All of your examples are unique, distinct separate product and problem spaces, whereas Threads is pretty aligned with Instagram as-is. A lot of the plumbing for Instagram is likely reusable for threads, and a lot of the same optimization techniques might apply just as well (or with minor tweaks). I don't think this is as much "launch something new" as it is "instagram with a mask on".

The grandparent (quoted above) is generalising a population as having these negative aspects and suggesting that support for the AfD is only due to these reasons. It is a form of shallow dismissal based on bigotry. It doesn't seek to understand the population and properly why support for the AfD is rising. It's much easier (for the bigot) to write off people as having entrenched negative characteristics.

And I wouldn't normally say this but if you have a browse through the grandparent's comment history, the majority of their comments are of this ilk, including one comment about 2 months back that they received a warning from dang for.
Well, fine. So maybe banning M&As is not the right way. But what is, then? Because the problem is real and severe, and it's also just another case of a more general problem - how to stop the market from creating a class of specialists gaming a single metric?

It's prevalent everywhere you look. As you say, M&As let small business owners retire or move away, without being prisoners of their own business. But the failure mode is companies being built with exit in mind, existing to be flipped - this is doing huge damage to the markets and peoples' lives right now.

Or take housing: it's nice that individuals have a way to sell their house and recover some of the money and effort put into it, when their kids leave the nest, or they retire, or they just want to move to some other location. But the failure mode of this is flipping - people and companies who buy properties, "improve" them to maximize resale value, whether the "improvements" make any sense or not for future tenants, and sell them to various actors. This creates a huge distortion on the real estate market, to the point that housing is now built for flipping, not for living.

(There's also a secondary and equally socially bad effect of owners opposing anything whatsoever that could lead to drop in (growth of) housing prices in their area.)

Or take finance: it's not hard to see the failure modes created by professional finance class, that's busy optimizing money flows in isolation from everything they relate to in the real world.

Or, take corporate management, and the rise of MBA class: specialists in running business as an abstract profit-generating machine, in complete isolation of what the business does and means in the real world.

Etc. etc.

This is the big problem I think we're facing: stopping over-optimization.
I do wonder if Threads will allow rather graphic videos like Twitter does. If it doesn't it will not do well. War videos from Ukraine have been extremely important, and Facebook will need to allow much raunchier and sometimes downright NSFL content to truly be a replacement especially to be relevant to current events which is the main selling point of Twitter for most people.

Where is the community and how is it? I've honestly found vanishingly small community for anything lisp. Generally I find 10 year old comments everywhere.

While I understand any of the relevant scheme communities will generally work/be the same, it does feel lonely. On the other hand, perhaps that's a good thing and can enable a (personal) return to the days of a single programmer.

Do you use your Guile scripts in production, alongside other engineers or is it mostly for small personal projects at home?
I don't think that is true, i imagine most people thought it was much more than 10 years away 30 years ago. I think 30 years ago people still weren't sure if it was physically possible at all.

In the mean time real progress has been made. If we continue at this rate (big if) we will eventually have quantum computers. Just not tomorrow.
There’s an interesting (to me) implementation detail in the A+B=-C lines on this page.

It's possible to show the true lines with the toy curve, but the X25519 animation at the top of the page is a cheat: it uses the correct slope IIRC, draws the dot following that slope for five wraparounds, but then cheats and jumps to the needed height and does only the last line to its destination.

If I'd done the actual number of wraparounds used in a typical X25519 point addition it'd be like TV snow, or would take hours!

For gaming you need $$ for CPU as well. It's all fine and dandy if your GPU is capable of rendering/filling the ~1 gigapixel/s of 4K120, the trick is keeping it fed with enough data so it can render all those pixels.

John Linneman from Digital Foundry made a great point about refresh rates (or framerates in his context). Lower refresh rates generally is perceived as way worse when you often switch around between high and low refresh rates. Case in point if you change from 60hz to 120hz and move your mouse etc. you will definitely feel that its way smoother, and 60hz would feel extremely sluggish. But if you just stuck with the 60hz for a while eventually you will perceive it as smooth again. They use the example of 30fps seemingly feeling very bad when you keep switching between Quality and Performance mode on console games, but 30fps is actually okay for many instances. Of course 60fps will feel smoother no matter what, but the point is is that the difference is heightened when you switch back and forth.
I can tell the difference between 30 and 60fps and I just don't care. 60fps is smoother sure but I don't find it better in any objective sense, just different. My brain is quite capable of filling in the missing frames itself.

Maybe I have a "vision disorder" but since even modern PS5 games are increasingly going back to 30-40fps (preferring graphical quality over framerate) I think that is actually the majority position. High framerate lovers are the coffee snobs of the computer world.
