Interesting.

Few Questions:

1) how much does this service cost? From this page [1] (please, call it "pricing") I can see data which is difficult to understand (maybe it's just me)

2) Why Api are not suppporting Whatsapp, even if from the homepage I got thi idea?

Thanks!

I think this is a different situation to Tiktok. What Reels did was slow the growth of tiktok, by creating the same product that 18 year olds loved, but for the more mature 25-30+ demographic of instagram.

But twitter isn't growing. There isn't an audience for a new twitter for people who haven't used twitter before, because everyone who is a potential user for twitter has already tried it.

So I don't see where the growth will come from, unless meta can force lots of instagram users to actually START using text only. But then they aren't actually destroying twitter, just creating a parallel product for a different audience.
They require 50% in office. Anything more than 50% needs explicit permission.
> Sorry for the twitter link,

Try:

https://publish.twitter.com/?query=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com...

The publish.twitter.com link generates publishable embed code for magazines, etc.

I don't think they'll rate limit | login protect that one.

That you have to reach for such obscure examples kind of illustrates my point, no? Geoff Hinton isn’t known for ”using Lisp at some earlier point in time.”

It’s not my goal to denigrate Lisp. I think Lisp is great. I learned programming with Dr Racket. But Hofstadter’s contribution to our understanding of intelligence is somewhere between ”negligible” and ”counterproductive.”
Apparently you can change your country via a VPN and pay whatever it costs in that country. Try India or Brazil.
So you pay for tv license and then get zero ads on tv?
Exactly, and on top of that paying for premium doesn't remove the ads and tracking everywhere google is present.

You'll be paying, and _still_ be the product all around the web.

Good luck getting deeper, temperatures rise, everything becomes much harder, thus costly. You can't do any serious extraction of solid minerals, only gasses and liquids (oil) are possible in certain situations
Knowledge is a property of the system within which a software developer operates
Knowledge should be viewed as an attribute of the system within which a software developer functions. For example, a non-Scrum team may include an architect and a QA who don't make any commits, but they still contribute their knowledge. Similarly, clients provide crucial information about the development needs and are part of the system the developer operates within. Therefore, we recommend measuring KEDE only at the system level, i.e., team, project, or company. However, factors such as happiness and cognitive load are assessed at the individual level. If a developer is working in an ensemble that fails to provide necessary knowledge, they may experience anxiety. Conversely, if the ensemble provides the required knowledge, the developer may experience a state of flow, or happiness. In these situations, the ensemble's collective work is reflected in the source code.
Ah - so not a one off. Socially - person A pushes for change through various stages, spending time, effort and own personal social credit, persuading very opinionated people along the way to support the change. If successful, then person B, the originator of the idea, gets most of the glory for the change. Person A would need to be more self-less, ego-less, willing to take pain for no personal gain, than average - so not very likely to happen.
So can you just run Django with SQLite (the default) now, with no special setup? And no data loss? Years ago I tried that when I made a simple web app for a one-off data collection at work. I had maybe 10 users on it and started to encounter concurrency problems. This was about 5 years ago. What's changed since then?
Developers and managers seem to have a real issue with system administrators and other operations players. And that they agree on this one generates so much drive. It's a cost center, it's boring, it takes a lot of drilling through abstraction layers and it has a lot of irreducible complexity. Developers want to pave over that with code and managers want to outsource and forget.
There's lots of very exciting work going on around the fully mapped fruit fly connectome. For example, I'm a CTO of a stealth startup that aims to do for utilitarianism what carbon credits did for environmentalism. We are selling 'utility credits' which translates directly into us simulating trillions and trillions of fruit fly brains in a state of constant orgasmic bliss, which you can then buy to offset any actions your company has undertaken that damage global happiness or well-being. We've seen a lot of interest from some pretty large industry players.
I think you’re describing FP in general here.

I, too, am a fan, especially in data intense applications, where a clear / decoupled data model and aggressive compiler solve many headaches.
Thank you for the original link. Here is the point I like (my emphasis):

> Current large language models (LLM) can often persuasively mimic correct expert response in a given knowledge domain (such as my own, research mathematics). But as is infamously known, the response often consists of nonsense when inspected closely. Both humans and AI need to develop skills to analyze this new type of text. The stylistic signals that I traditionally rely on to “smell out” a hopelessly incorrect math argument are of little use with LLM-generated mathematics.

I found the same problem/challenge when I am using GPT-4 to dig into subjects which are tangential to my main expertise. The good thing, is that as I know the LLM can provide answers which are totally wrong, I am forced to be more critical of the answer than just reading a book on the subject. I am more active in exploring. Usually I am ending up with a chat and many open Wikipedia tabs and scientific papers.
I’m not sure they personally ignore it, so much as predict that the Supreme Court majority will ignore it.
Humans are in the business of consuming bananas, whereas neural nets are in the business of peddling bananas. They don't get to actually use these bananas so they can't gain deeper insight into what's they for.

This is the classic lamb vs. mutton issue. Wealthy land owners who use one set of idioms vs. servants who use a different one. Happens to neural nets on human chassis as well.

This is going to be very interesting to watch, and I honestly... For all I think about Meta as a company, I have to congratulate them on the timing. They probably pushed hard to meet this deadline the past few weeks in order to coincide with the controversial Twitter decisions lately. Elon Musk is rolling out the red mat for Zuckerberg. It's fun to see tech giants fight it out like this! Reminds me of the Bill Gates vs Steve Jobs days!

Having said that, the cultures on Instagram and Twitter are no doubt different. So it's hard for me to tell what will transpire here. However, how much of these cultural differences are due to Instagram not having had a live text feed for breaking news etc. before? And how malleable is social network culture?

Threads will also move Instagram closer to Twitter with this. I think how well Meta suceeeds at this is vital to how much of a threat to Twitter this is going to be. Not only this app itself needs to find users; for a real threat they also need to use it for similar things as on Twitter, e.g. politics, a controversial celebrity post here and there, breaking news on the Ukrainian war, earthquakes, imploding submarines...

Finally, I wonder how this will affect Facebook! With both a photo feed, a TikTok-style reels feed, Snapchat-like stories, and Twitter-like Threads... This app that is NOT Facebook is certainly starting to look very complete indeed. Facebook is big where I live so I "need" to be on it to stay in touch, but I can see myself residing more and more on Messages and Marketplace alone, now more than ever.
The position of a widget on the screen is determined by its parent. After receiving the size information from the widget, the parent sets the position one by one. This article explains that rule.
I do wonder if you can have enough uwsgi workers on a single machine to max out SQLite using Django.
20 years in the future, Instagram Threads, in its 5th iteration, will become Instagram for Knitting, following (and desperately copying) the meteoric rise of decacorn Ravelry
HAProxy does not serve static files, so it's a poor alternative for this specific case.
It's a good outcome even though it takes a bit of time to get there. It just means that bigger fines are in their future unless they adapt. And not just for them of course.

In the end, Meta will have to choose between doing business in Europe while complying with the law or just abandoning the loads of people using Instagram, Whatsapp, etc. over there. My guess is they'll figure out that they don't want to walk away from that many users.
As a counterpoint, see this blog post on why wrapping-overflow-is-UB is bad for safety and correctness: https://c3.handmade.network/blog/p/7640-on_arithmetics_and_o...

The gist of it is that (a + b) - c becomes different from a + (b - c) and (a - c) + b.

While Rust picks a “fast” default that ensures non-trapping code is safe in this regard.

Zig on the other hand would make incorrect ordering UB which might not be immediately obviously wrong - it completely depends on the optimizations run, something which runs completely counter to notions of correctness.
For some reason all 40 inch monitors have disappeared off the market!

For me 40 inch is the sweet spot for coding: any larger and it gets too pixelated at 4K (you can make out the pixels, but that's OK for coding), the UI scale can be set at 100% so all is well proportioned. Entire classes/methods fit on a screen without scrolling.

I own two Philips 4K 40 inch monitors, they only cost ~$600 at the time, and I dread the day they stop working. I would be first in line for 6K or 8K, or any ≥4K really, at 40 inch.

Yeah, right, because if someone is using an ad blocker, they totally won't install an extension or a userscript that bypasses this.
You’re optimistic. it’s an ads platform that’s purposely crippled reach. They are not 50% of last year anymore.
> I also quite doubt that std::mutex, and even more so std::condition_variable are guaranteed to be signal safe.

They are not. Use sem_t for signaling.

edit: also even if they where, the signal handler might wait forever for a mutex owned by the blocked thread.
Oh I’m sure, it’s mostly fine, my biggest annoyance is actually that the OSD buttons take just a bit too much force (especially for how small they are) so you pretty much always lift the corner, which results in the display “bouncing” for a few seconds before it settles.

And that sometimes it’ll get confused and won’t switch the USB peripherals correctly, but that’s not too common (hasn’t happened in a long while in fact, maybe there was a firmware update I didn’t notice which fixed it).
I think it's too barebones and they are still working out the moderation and safety problem. Besides, it looks like it scales like shit. It's not ready for wide adoption, I have to agree about this one.

Thanks for reminding me I need to finally Read Raskin. I occasionally hear the name in context of UI and approachable computing, but I somehow imagine he'd go in opposite direction to increasing information density.

This approach reminds me of the works of a different person - Edward Tufte. He writes about visualizing information, but that by itself is a user interface (even if we didn't call it this until recently). He gives plenty of praise to designs like this - which show you everything at once, and play into strengths of your visual system, which is very good at focusing, zooming out, filtering out things you're not interested in, and switching focus rapidly.
You and Benjamin Lee of The Guardian[1].

It's not illegal to cite someone out of context to distort their meaning - It's even hard to prove fraud from it. Caveat emptor and all that. Attributing a version made up whole cloth is different, but that's not what Google Search does, that's what Google Bard does.

> As long as Meta is open to federation to other instances

That’s a pretty doubtful condition, especially if Threads becomes too successful for the Fediverse.

Though if this is true, yeah, I dislike that too. It should be individual admins’ choices.
If you reread chapters of a book in intervals, you are doing spaced repetition. If you return back to previous topic in math and do exercises again, you do spaced repetition.

Flashcard are just easy to implement application of it.

Yes among flashcards, anki is the most popular. But naive use of it leads to a lot of pain and tons of problems, you have to learn how to use anki.
I feel like a weird industry has popped up that makes you feel like you can validate everything in advance. I think this comes from Product Managers in large, risk-averse companies that excessively try to minimize mistakes.

However, if you want to start a startup, you aren't optimizing for mistake minimization! You are figuring out if anyone cares as quickly as possible. You will only get true validation of this by seeing if people use your thing, and then iterating from there.

My advice would be - you have to _both_ talk to people and _at the same time_ create whatever your MVP is to launch as fast as possible. It might be a spreadsheet. It might be you doing stuff manually for them before building the software. Get something into their hands as quickly as possible.

I wouldn't even mind paying for YouTube in return for an acceptable ad-free experience. But it requires creating a Google account, which automagically siphons off inordinate amounts of my personal data, on top of that, it requires providing a company I don't trust with my phone number *and* my payment details.

That's just not going to happen.
I'm afraid you are right. Without async-signal safety, the library is not terribly useful.
This is why we have AGPL. The testament for its effectiveness is the visceral revulsion it evokes from "entrepreneur" types.
Purely from self interest, I hope this wins over Twitter. So I installed it and made an account.

When Elon Musk laid off more than 80% of Twitter's workforce (or maybe 90%, the number is quickly increasing), many people said this would prove that a company needed only a handle of software engineers to be successful. If they are correct, it paints a bleak future where software engineer jobs will be forever cut down. I hope Twitter falls so it proves the reverse: a software company cannot survive without enough engineers.

While Facebook also laid people off, the percentage is much lower than Twitter. It will be even better if Facebook has to recruit people to win this battle.
Of course not. That was just coincidental timing, and a popular move politically at that time.

Because if Chinese apps were so dangerous, why haven't other Chinese apps been banned since, or why have Chinese smartphones continued to prolifer in the Indian market since?

India's trade with China has only increased since then. Yet somehow, TikTok was the first casualty - and nothing since.
The power draw is also lower for LCD.
It's mind-bogglingly expensive 7 euros a month to watch 3 channels that post once a quarter. It's not worth it. I'm not interested in the music thing.
Depends on your definition of excess I guess.

Err, this is him announcing that he's stopping doing it.

SEEKING WORK | REMOTE (Full/Part Time)

Technologies: PHP, WordPress, CodeIgniter, Laravel, JavaScript, jQuery, Vue.js

Résumé/CV: https://bhupalsapkota.com/tech

Email: sapkotabhupal+hnwho@gmail.com

Hi HN,

* I'm a full-stack developer with 12+ years of professional experience building software and solving problems on the web.

* It was 1998, my sixth-grade year when I first touched a computer. Motivated to develop software for an abandoned DOS machine that my brother owned I stumbled upon QBasic. Through experimenting with this programming language, I wrote several programs, thereby uncovering a deep joy in the art of programming. And since then there isn’t a single day I have lost enthusiasm for writing code and solving problems on the world-wide-web.

* When I was publishing Geocities web pages I acquired skills in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP and have ever since continued working on the same stack. Throughout my college years (2006), I pursued various courses and undertook projects encompassing Assembly, C, C++, C#, Java, and Android development. My exploration extended to tinkering with robotics and embedded systems using Keil/C.

* I co-founded and ran a Web Agency with the primary development stack as LAMP/WordPress for 5 years as a tech lead serving clients from the US, UK, AU, Canada, and India before relocating to the US in 2015.
In the US I worked for small-scale startups in SF Bay Area until 2018 and got hands-on experience with US work standards and culture.

* I am fairly competent and have high values when it comes to my work ethic.

* At present, I am based in Kathmandu and looking for a full-time or part-time opportunity to work as a web developer.

* I am at my best when the work is async and flexible.

* Ideally, I’d like to work with bootstrapped founders.

Please get in touch if you are in need of a reliable developer assistant at just $50/hour.
Okay, I can see that argument. So let me rephrase: "You can exercise freedom 4, but only if you never use any updated version of this software again", would you say that leaves you just as free as normal GPL software does? A licence like that would not even be GPL compatible, but Red Hat is essentially prescribing just that in a roundabout way.
This is extremely tiring, especially since:

1. Important info is hosted on these platforms

2. It's impossible to look this info up. Their internal search functions feel like their optimized for finding distracting shit rather than finding what you were actually looking for.

I hate it with a burning passion, and I secretly wish for all of these companies to be nationalized and have like 90% of their features deprecated. I hate having my attention abused like that. It's too much hassle and FOMO to uninstall these apps, and I need like 3 external tools to limit my usage to sane volumes.

This is not a top-priotity problem at all, nor one that I think of frequently (just an hour a day), yet I can't fathom how some higher-ups waste their lives thinking of these shticks
Mostly capture of politics by shareholder interests. Once a political system becomes thoroughly permeated by the interests of a specific industry (i.e. through campaign contributions, individuals moving from industry into politics, labour interests, etc.) it becomes quite hard for governments to make sensible decisions in that area, because industry interests and identity politics at some point become indistinguishable.

Monetization of open source only really works if

a) the non-commercial usage is restricted, so there's a reason to buy a commercial license, and

b) The copyright is assigned to a singular person or entity so there's no confusion as the recipient of money.

Sadly both of these things conflict with Open Source either definitionally ("no restrictions on use") or in spirit ("single copyright holder/CLA means no or an exploited community").
That's bs there's clearly no symmetry here
