The new Twitter Blue subscription revenue is a tiny drop in the bucket compared to the advertising loss and the debt he saddled the company with.
It’s called mildew.

That seems to correspond to the "is or isn't it feed forward" debate going on here, so I guess I see where the confusion comes from (both for him and in terms of calling LLMs FF/not FF)
This article is well-written to appeal to people who want to be "scientific."

I found it convincing. My wife did not. She found this far more credible source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8227014/

To summarize:

- Aspartame is linked to premature menarche in girls aged 9 and 10

- Aspartame, especially when used with another common sweetener is linked to genotocixity.

- Aspartame causes increases in behavioral disorders

- Aspartame causes neurodegeneration with long-term use

- Aspartame can induce contact dermatitis

> Safety studies have found the metabolic products of aspartame (aspartic acid, phenylalanine, and methanol) to be more harmful to the body than the original substance itself...

> ...In humans, there have been reports of premature birth as well as allergic reactions and weight gain in the newborns. Studies involving girls aged 9–10 have shown that aspartame increases the risk of an early first menstruation (<11 years).

So for me... I have to think that there remains a high likelihood that aspartame is harmful, and this article draws wrong conclusions.
Test coverage should be ensured by your coverage tools in the CI. (At least basic test coverage.)

You are right that reviews aren't necessarily there to catch bugs. Reviews are there to tell you to write code that's simple and understandable. If your coworkers can't understand what's going on, how could you expect anyone else to do so in a year or so?
I can understand the impulse, but boy do I hope my family won’t turn me over to a computer in my dotage. I’d rather be loved than managed.
You can formalise that discussion by breaking the patch into smaller commits.
> who in the world wants to use a 2:3 pulldown pattern on a progressive monitor?

At least everyone tasked with editing 3:2 pulldown footage for 3:2 pulldown distribution, which is most of the video editors in North America the last time I checked.
Twitter is a much better social network in Japanese than in English. You are more likely to encounter people who want to discuss hobbies than being trolls. I think they'll stick to the end, just like the Titanic.

Making the jump seems a little challenging right now. Some Japanese people have tried Truth Social, even dominating the trends with Japanese keywords. I'm not sure if they'll stick there given its context with American politics.

As Twitter became popular in Japan with the 2011 Earthquake, the migration to Threads might be another earthquake away (which happens often here).[1]

I wonder who will be the core users of Threads in Japan. Twitter was popular among nerdy "Otakus" who often engaged in anime, gaming, or electronics. Facebook/Instagram always tended to be avoided by that demographics. Instead, Instagram in Japan is popular among young women, who post selfies or food pics. However, I'm not sure if they'll be receptive to a text-focused service.

[1] Side-anecdote: Twitter is the best earthquake detector. Whenever you feel a shake, Twitter users will confirm it sooner than traditional news sources.

This is exactly right. Good summary.
It's not a large team, and it's very barebones in terms of features, like DMs. They also weren't ready for the small boom in users trying to sign up the other day, so networking is still a concern for them. Also they haven't been working directly on the app itself this entire time, they also created a new protocol due to Jack's desire to re-evaluate everything rather than "create a twitter clone".
It is better now, before the revamp, it had incredibly outdated information. Even now, there is very little reason for anyone not to go to the same page on MDN instead, unless they are a literally-just-starting-out beginner (as MDN has more information). That, coupled with them ranking high on organic results, makes people want to block them.
Twitter was making $4bn a year, that they couldn't turn a profit on that doesn't mean it wasn't lucrative.
+1 to Caddy. Just tried it recently and I was very happy to forget all the nginx jargon the next moment.
Whatever Twitter is now, it's hardly a social network. Zuck sucks for many reasons but if anyone can beat Musk to replace Twitter it'd be Meta... this is their core focus area. I doubt they'll ever become the metaverse apple/unicorn they want to be.

FB recently has been gaining some good will in dev communities if only for open sourcing llama and some other ai models.

My point is, the paywall will kill Twitter, with or without a competitor to step in and replace them.

Wew, I don't know what to tell you. Your kid is going to google "boobies" and find them. Now, in six months, in six years, regardless of regulations because they're never going to be enforced anywhere near wide enough to keep a curious kid away. Not even for 3 whole minutes. So, what do you do? .... be a freaking parent.

Regulation of physical goods is leaky too. If you rely on the law keeping booze and cigarettes away from your kids, you're going to have a really, really rough time through their teen years.

>It seems this is putting a lot of burden on parents, teachers, etc, when also regulation on this can be helpful.

No, regulation can make lazy/bad parents feel better and feel like they can just ignore their actual responsibility which is teaching and guiding their rchildren.

> don’t you agree this will significantly reduce minors being exposed to porn?

No, lol, I'm sorry, it would be rude but I would laugh in your face openly if you tried to tell me that. Pick a state that has implemented this, and I'll record you a YouTube video of me finding porn in less than 30 seconds.

And honestly, mentioning Juul? Man, do you live in this same world as the rest of us? There are 6 dozen different disposable vapes that are easily accessible to kids. The Juul ban did absolutely beyond nothing to stop teenage vaping.

Yes, parents should do the most important part of their job as a parent instead of advocating for the STATE to track every single adult that wants to watch porn. Yes, I am absolutely saying that:

1. This will stop exactly zero kids from accessing porn.

2. The trade-off requires a STATE-RUN REGISTRY OF PORN WATCHERS. I don't even know where to begin on explaining what a horrendous idea this is.

This is clearly 100% just the usual "moral conservatism as law" trope that it always is. People who want to encode their moral beliefs as law because they're too prudish? ignorant? I-dont-know-what? to talk to their kids about sex.
They are rate limiting the viewing of tweets now. No way they have the capacity to handle Reddit’s content.

Maybe Google can try replicating Reddit in YouTube - it would just be serving text instead of video; discovery would be via their recommendation algorithm, i.e. no subreddits. Frankly, they can kind of already do this, you can post community messages on YouTube. They just need to tweak the algorithm to recommend such messages.
Firefox is the only browser that gives that error message. The same error yields a different message on Chrome.

I switched back to Firefox Developer Edition in 2017-ish.
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.

An excellent analogy, as applies to the current Russian state having dragged its population into a senseless, expansionist war against its southern neighbor (and erstwhile "brother" nation). And its skill at turning ordinary citizens into instruments of genocide.
The economy is in great shape despite how many people try to cope a recession into existence. ("Inflation" is a bad thing that can only happen in a good economy.)

He bought the company because he was mad they banned a hate speech account he thought was funny, unbanned them and brought all the other racists back to juice the numbers and so he could reply-guy them, and instantly lost all the advertisers because they don't want to be associated with statue avatar Nazis. That was not good business sense.
I'm sure lots of people have committed suicide because they were stuck in bad marriages (esp. before divorce was legalized).

Lots of women get murdered by their husbands (and sometimes the reverse).
4x scaled? On my machine the web version is tiiiiny. Even when we had 800x600 screen resolution websites showed more content than Instagram.

It also shows signup takeovers after clicking 2 links so without some sort of scraping proxy like Nitter it will be just as useless as Twitter if you only want to follow from the outside.

I'm so excited for this an advertiser. Twitter ads are so bad. Meta ads are the best in the industry.
Most banks can't use TOTP because union agreements prohibit their members from using it.

Schools First in California, City National Bank of Beverly Hills, and all military credit unions use TOTP.
OK hear me out: a Linux capability like option that removes the .. option from the kernels file name parser.

Like web apps have been seen various bypasses involving somehow smuggling two dots somewhere since we were on dial up modems. It's time to look for a way to close this once and for all, as the Linux kernel has done with several other classes of user land bugs.
I hate carbon footprint for a related but distinct issue: companies such as Apple or Microsoft use it as a way to say they’re “green” while producing untold levels of ewaste. They can’t even follow the Three Rs. Reduction of waste is literally the most important for a reason.
I agree with you in part: Twitter needed its costs slashed even before the acquisition, and the post-acquisition debt load made it into a crisis.

But on top of cutting costs, Musk has also made terrible product and communication decisions that killed significant amounts of revenue and audience.

Seeing as it wasn't linked yet:

https://www.threads.net looks like where this will live on the web
> it's either based on data encoding our existing behaviors. Or it's crudely manipulated data by biased hubris

My argument would be this is both likely and inevitable where there AI is used as a judge. OpenAI, for example, has material explaining how they prune and curate their datasets to alter it's biases.
I won't be using this unless it has a web app, and without an Android app, they're freezing out a lot of people who could contribute. This won't go anywhere. BlueSky is just fine.

If you are fascinated by those game manuals, Tunic is exactly the right game for you.
It does have to do with BitWarden: they wrote and shipped the buggy config.
Surprised I haven't seen this response, but I have a suspicion that Threads will be a referendum on Elon, and most of Twitter's left leaning users (which are most of its users, or at least most of its power users) will flock to Threads, which will start the death spiral. That's my forecast, anyway.
they could have, if they didn't close down their API, nobody wants to migrate from one API-less company to another.
Another bug I've had several times on the web version is that when I open the account privacy settings page the "Private account" checkbox will load for a few seconds and then change my account from private to public. Quite annoying especially since that also approves all pending following requests. I don't know if they fixed in the last few months but I'm kind of afraid to check.
> Musk wants to build an "everything app" where people conduct business and accept payments.

Which is a bad idea. China has everything apps like WeChat because monopolies are easier to regulate, but customers don't actually like them, which is why we don't have them elsewhere.
The number of people who want to work _for cheap in Florida weather_ has gone down.

As usual, pay more, but accept your strawberries will be dear.
That text you quoted appears literally nowhere in the source you cited. Which is Wikipedia.

I combed all the article sources cited in that entry. And turns out the only source for the claims of criminal history was a single anonymous police tip to a gossip rag (https://www.europe1.fr/faits-divers/info-europe-1-mort-de-na... - Europe1 is not known for its journalistic ethics), and all credible journalism indicates he had no actual criminal record because he had never been tried for any of the alleged incidents. (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-66052104) To be a criminal you have to be convicted. We assume innocence in western legal tradition.

Again, you're not providing any sources that actually back up your claims. Aside from a single anonymous cop - which if it actually were true, wouldn't the department have publicly revealed his criminal past since you seem to think it disculpatory?

Your replies here still reek here of agenda and your attempts to rebut are intellectually dishonest.

> endangering people with a car is a "traffic violation".

Nobody died, nobody was even injured, and no sources have claimed he even intentionally tried to hit anyone. He ran a red light while speeding. Those are both traffic violations, and unless someone was injured they would be prosecuted as such no matter how hysterically you try to whip frenzy over hypothetical harm to claim they're violence.

edit: the irony of trying to cite a "criminal history" that shows a history of cops harassing him and trumping up reasons to file reports that went nowhere because they had no case to actually prosecute - you're making my point for me. petty tyrants.
This was the social network that was supposed to support ActivityPub, right? So… maybe logged out support will be good? I’m still not holding my breath though.
How silly of me! I guess I was hoping for both, somehow. A kind of fever dream where adding site:threads.fediverse.instagram.com to searches works for finding useful human generated content..
> Dehumanising is Dehumanising, nothing to do with my skin, I'm not Russian or Ukrainian.

Regardless of what your background is saying someone making light of fascists invaders is dehumanising requires you to have a super thin skin.

If they didn’t want to be called orcs maybe they should stop acting like them.
It’s unfortunately Java only.
There is Ultimate which is not capped. That seems to be what you want?

Personally, my record was below 900 searches and usually below 800, so the 1000 searches (technically 1500 because early adopter) are absolutely fine for me.
That's extremely impressive. I've spent a ton of time within >100 of that first bridge and was still off by a ton. Did you use external resources? If not, how did you know with such precision (honestly central PA is as good a guess as the true answer!)?! Or was it a good guess?
Functionally, the "backup" key (which looks like a credit card in Tesla's) is identical to the backup mechanism to a traditional keyless entry fob. If you've ever had a keyless entry fob go dead because the battery runs out, you start the car by holding the key fob over a special location (usually either the start button or on the steering column where a key would be). Same concept, but the backup key for a Tesla doesn't have the integrated key for normal keyless functionality. That's what the cellphone all is for.
It's Chinese. No idea how they publish.
Not to turn the thread into a code request party, but if you have a spare one I would be interested, too. Just professional curiosity.

Let's not reduce everything to the least common denominator lest we end up like (formerly) Oregon where you couldn't pump your own gas because it was "dangerous" for the lay person.
The only reason my FYP is good is because I blocked all the different meme accounts they added. A good algorithmic feed for a power user is one that 1. shows people you follow but 2. in relevance order not chronological order.

The current one is half trying to be the new Reddit account experience and half trying to show you politics news you'll get mad about for engagement.
I have had warranty service with other companies, my Dell experience was such that I would write off any damaged product I was gifted in the future, and not buy another one myself again.

Hours in iMessage chat with offshore reps, having to record videos of various diagnostics before they'd issue an RMA. Just to be sent another broken monitor. Clown show.

Honestly, make me pay to ship it to you and if I lied about it being broken, send it back. I do not have time for multi-hour 200 message iMessage conversations over a $400 monitor.

Eizo warranty service could not have been simpler. And the product they sent back worked!
It's not. Bluesky is still quite primitive. I wouldn't even call it a "beta", more like an alpha.

They gave invite codes to some "influencers", and it got a lot of hype and media attention, but after the hype died down somewhat, it's become basically a nothing burger. I've stopped giving out the invite codes that I'm accumulating, because my feed is pretty boring and dead. Bluesky is far more "promise" than reality.

Meta has 1000x the engineering resources of Bluesky.
I wondered if this was just me because I use Opera. It's awful.
Second hand one was very cheap ($600?) in 2010 IIRC, still futuristic at the time.
Not enough to have a lower resolution display, and if a higher refresh rate will get rid of it then that is news to me. Will it?
My local has invested in pretty good seats and sound. And the screen is way bigger than at home, I'm one of those that likes row 5.

But they could focus the projector better on some movies.
Customer service / warranty is a joke.
They'd rather spend hours slow walking an RMA, hoping you give up, rather than actually dealing with the problem.
At Apple’s scale a more worthwhile problem is reducing ewaste and reusing what’s available. For instance, not designing their overpriced devices to kill themselves regularly.

This is still nice, mind you, but hiring competent designers and setting up reusable designs is a far more important problem. One they’re not willing to touch.

The interesting discussion is that apparently ~no one did this for well over a decade, and now we have information about where service degrades. We didn’t have that to talk about before, now we do.
Parag was a great CEO because he got Elon to buy out all the shareholders at above market price.

Jack was a bad CEO because he's even more gullible than Elon and fried his brain with psychedelics, but he's not as bad as the current one.
I feel like the fact you can’t even use it yet because you don’t have an invite is exactly why it isn’t ready yet.
For what it's worth, the same friends I refer to on Twitter (Japanese baseball fans and those into cars) are also even more active on Instagram. That's how I found many of them to begin with. I'd say 70/30 split of male/female in my experience at least.
Threads.net
That's always happened to me; I think if you follow any doctors, it shows you ads for medical conferences, but I can't tell if that's Twitter messing up or the people placing the ads setting the display audiences wrong.
Per the ever-helpful Russian MoD:

“As a result of a strike on June 27 on Kramatorsk, two generals and up to 50 officers of the Ukrainian army were eliminated,” the Russian defense ministry said in a statement. “Along with to 20 foreign mercenaries and advisers.”
Are you IC or Management?
www.threads.com not leading to a web version is a huge problem though.
Well, regarding this, I can’t speak to the theory behind it. But as a general rule, specifically when it comes to programming, I’ve always advocated that when presented with an example, someone should type the code in and not copy paste it. That the act of typing gives you time to briefly consider each element of the text and their relationships to each other, rather than as an opaque blob pasted all at once.

Sure, folks could just read the code, but inevitably people scan rather than read in detail. We all do that, and the cryptic nature of programming languages can just exacerbate it.

Typing naturally slows people down. It also provides a natural opportunity to make simple changes if they so desire.
Threads will need porn.
RedPajama-Incite-7B-Instruct Outperforms LLaMA on MMLU
The EU believes social networks and messaging apps should all connect to each other. This is a bad idea (it makes spam filtering impossible) but nevertheless it's in the DMA.

Mastodon admins might find that law applies to them too.
> After trying Mastodon for a few months, it's certainly not it.

Why?
So they were “fixing” a problem they caused. CPUs wouldn’t need to be throttled if batteries could be more easily replaced.

And theoretically, if this was the case, why isn’t there an option to throttle? It is the user’s device. And why wasn’t it used to help lengthen the battery life of the new phones? I certainly would prefer throttling my CPU to lengthen battery life.
Interest groups do.
I would hope the solution would be both... humans augmented by computers so that the humans aren't overloaded and overly burdened.
