The biggest problem with Mastodon is that 3 instances comprise 50% of all traffic. That’s not that bad but that creates the conditions for the largest X instances to become Mastodon Inc., use VC money to fund advertising for their site and fund improvements the other instances don’t get, eventually defederate from the other instances, and finally enshittify. I think Mastodon is a bit more insulated from this than fully private companies, but it’s not invulnerable while that many users are on the biggest instances.

Can I read more about this? What topics are banned?
It probably also surged specifically today since the API change actually occurred yesterday.
The older I get, the bigger I think category 5 actually is.
That's a fair point, and most of the people on nostr are aware of the need to diversify. In fact, as of last week you can create Reddit-like sub-communities on nostr with rules like "no crypto content" which should help a lot.
“On Mastodon” is like saying “in restaurants”. There’s a wide variety of instances to various tastes.
Potential trophy wives of billionaires, of course.
You can hang out on an instance with like minded people, everyone else might defederate you but you'll have your space.
that number comes from their hiring spree when around 20% chunk of their workforce had 0 years of tenure, the data was pulled from LinkedIn and includes all employees or people claiming they are employees
On some tasks I've seen huge gains.

I needed to setup a websocket server, chatGPT saved me tons of hours because Google results are now all useless blogspam so even finding simple resources has become hard.

I needed a custom ui component built, chatGPT gave me a good base and I was then able to also it to go add accessibility keyboard handlers, something I do not know e how to do myself.

I was having some CSS issues and chatGPT was able to tell me what was going on.

IMHO it is a huge productivity booster, but only because I already know how to architect good software.
Interests don’t stay in boxes. They grow tentacles that reach up and down the chain of production. They bump up against adjacent fields and they make the whole world look a little different. A single curiosity will evolve and change form over time. The beginning of it might not be boring to others, but if you take it far enough the end probably will be.
I've been looking for a invite for months — Twitter's new leadership doesn't align with my values and I feel uneasy participating there. My email is in my profile if anyone can spare an invite.
So they’re putting it on sale now but still won’t sell it in many countries?

E.g Australia and New Zealand are still having to buy them from unauthorized resellers.
Mostly, insulin users are type-1 diabetics. They produce little or none of their own.

There's no "better" insulin, there are different types of insulin that vary based on how fast they act for different purposes. Closed-loop insulin pumps (with CGMs) and older open loop (and you are the insulin calculator) use very fast acting insulin to adjust insulin levels in almost real time (delay between blood plasma vs. extracellular fluid).

Humalog (very fast acting)

Humulin R (fast acting)

Humulin N (intermediate)

webmd has a fairly good table of popular American insulin products about 1/2 way down: https://www.webmd.com/diabetes/diabetes-types-insulin

I noticed glucagon, the emergency antidote for insulin, is also available as a nasal powder (Baqsimi) whereas it came in autoinjectors like Zegalogue. This is a huge win because the olden days of mixing 2 parts and injecting someone in distress with a giant needle was a major barrier to potential good Samaritans.
I’m not sure. I would imagine there is as much variety and diversity in those fields as there is in computer science.

If that is the case, I can see why immigration might be necessary to make up for a domestic deficit.
Walk me through it. Let's say a dead body was found with a gun shot wound.

When parents share about their kids online, in almost all cases I can think of, they are doing it for themselves, not for the child’s benefit.

i would disagree with that claim. at least when i share photos of my children the primary benefit is for my parents, my siblings, and very close friends. it is neither for my own nor my kids benefit.

the point of facebook is to stay in touch with your friends and family, and so it encourages to share with them. i am not on facebook myself, so i don't know how easy it is to create private family/friend groups. if it is easy then it should not be a problem to share family pictures in private, but apparently this is not happening and a lot of people are sharing in public instead? do they believe that only the friends that follow them can see them? never mind the privacy issues of facebook itself.

does it make sense to post it online instead of celebrating it privately with my child or face-to-face with friends

most of my friends and family do not live in the same city as i do. so face-to-face is not an option.

instead of chastising parents for using the tools available to them to stay in touch with their family, how about creating and promoting tools that allow sharing in a private and secure manner?
We're also during the France attacks France weekend, and Twitter self-immolating certainly doesn't help with staying in touch with things down there.
Just to elaborate on what bugged me about this essay -- probably the most important part for many domains is a single sentence, the last one in this paragraph:

Most of us can benefit from collaborating with colleagues, but some projects require people on a larger scale, and starting one of those is not for everyone. If you want to run a project like that, you'll have to become a manager, and managing well takes aptitude and interest like any other kind of work. If you don't have them, there is no middle path: you must either force yourself to learn management as a second language, or avoid such projects

"You must force yourself to learn management" is not very useful

It's basically like saying "go run a marathon in a world record time"

---

And I'd say that's the KEY difference between companies and math/art/literature

The former are necessarily collaborative -- YC even says that PREFER co-founders; they reject solo founders

Whereas math/art/literature has more of a solo feel, and so does this essay, despite the fact that PG is accomplished more in the collaborative domains

Science these days is probably more like a company, more collaborative. A hundred years ago it was probably closer to math

So I would have preferred to read about one kind of endeavor or the other; as is, it's something of a mish-mash that's not too actionable

It's more of a "cheering section" for people working mostly alone, not really practical advice

---

That said, I do appreciate his turns of phrase (going diagonally across the tracks), and the metaphor of reaching the edge of knowledge, it fractally expanding, etc.

(It's probably more that I've already gotten these ideas from his previous essays, which are mostly great)
Nobody is more important than yourself so do what is right by you first above all else. Other engineers will do what matters to them when the time is right. You're not their mom, just their manager.
If you have ever worked at Google, you probably know this site because of accidentally visiting it when mistyping one of the companies internal go links.

Anyway, since you were dancing, I assume you used MDMA which is much "less psychedelic" than acid or DMT (and much more of a stimulant). There's also more potential for misuse and addiction. Ketamine, too, turns out to be quite addictive by the way.

It seems clear that psychedelics are going mainstream and, unlike the 60s and 70s, they will be legal in some places. I'm not convinced that ths will be a net good, partly because it's not clear that it was a net good in the 60s and 70s, but we'll see.
When someone says, "certain topics will get you banned" that doesn't make me judge the platform, that makes me judge the person.

People are going to assume it's something you don't want to name, if you won't name it.
That is.. quite opposite from the experience I have had.
I have discussed a fair amount of topics, it was civil, and things were fine.

Though, the only time when I did see that happen, was when someone was transphobic, homophobic, racist and such.

They all appear to be used. Bummer.
> It sounds like you're arguing from a hypothetically perfect view with 20/20 hindsight.

I'm just stating the obvious, which is that whether a service is centralized or federated has nothing to do with it. Mastodon would melt long before operating at Twitter scale, for example. (And to your points, I don't think that's necessarily bad.)

But, if there's any company on earth that should have 20/20 hindsight about this, it's Twitter. Post-"fail whale" era and pre-Musk, the service weathered far larger challenges without collapsing.

You an definitely patent a recipe for most manufacturable items. You can't copyright it.

As an extension, you can copyright an operation manual, but not the "general" expression of the pure operational steps themselves. Someone else could rewrite the operational manual "from scratch".
Somewhat related to this, printf alone in a loop is Turing-complete, by using %-directives like that. It was introduced in “Control-Flow Bending: On the Effectiveness of Control-Flow Integrity” (Carlini, et al. 2015) and the authors have implemented Brainfuck and an obfuscated tic-tac-toe with it.

Ha. That kid would be proud to know what became of their prank.
What kind of topics would those be?
Jef Raskin's writings: “Holes in the Histories” (1994)
if after loading the wallet it could equally well pay $.05 to YT or $.05 to the same video on Vimeo than YT loses half the benefit of its integration with Google (the ability to get high CPMs via its in-house as platform). it would make it easier for competitors to enter their space: don’t expect it to happen.
Phytoestrogens (the ones found in soy beans) have nothing to do with the human hormone estrogen other than the name (and how they look in a chemical context).
They do not have any measurable impact on your hormonal makeup and this bodybuilding myth has been disproven dozens of not hundreds of times.

You know what contains actual mammal estrogen? Beef and milk from cows that have been given hormones to give more milk.
I truly and honestly hope you succeed. I know for certain that the market for on-prem will remain large for certain sectors for the forseeable future.

However. The kind of customer who spends this type of money can be conservative. They already have to go with on an unknown vendor, and rely on unknown hardware. Then they end up with a hypervisor virtually no one else in the same market segment uses.

Would you say that KVM or ESXi would be an easier or harder sell here?

Innovation budget can be a useful concept. And I'm afraid it's being stretched a lot.
> I prefer Twitter in the sense that it's more laissez faire in terms of what kinds of speech get you banned.

I really don't think it is. It's still largely political, and subject to the whim of the reader.

The guy who tracked and reported on Twitter Blue subscriptions was suspended today.

You always have to kiss someone's ring.
A lot of people who’ve wanted to jump ship to Mastodon have had plenty of opportunity to do so in the past year. Bsky is still invite only but had significantly increased its rate of handing out invite codes in the past 2 weeks. Today might be the day that invitees have decided to finally check things out
> They don't, though. They don't indicate if the message got through. They don't indicate if you can safely retry. Their failure mode is exactly as opaque or as transparent as synchronous calls.

The promise is at the remote end. Promise resolution is idempotent, so retries always resolve to the same value. These are correct promise semantics as pioneered in the E language.
That doesn't seem like a mitigation to what the poster above you said, to me. It just means that if I don't like it, I don't lose my posts when I move. That's nice but it offers no guarantees in the face of a corporate actor harming the overall federation of a network.
I sometimes wonder about the insecurity of the people asking these questions. "What if it swaps out to memory?" "What if it's not fast enough?" There's a whole world of existence before Apple Silicon existed that got along with swapping and being slower so it's not like it suddenly stopped working.
IIRC, at least on the original Stinger, the heat signature of the trees and other objects on the horizon confuses the seeker head so you need a clear shot. You also need the target to be a certain distance away, otherwise the rocket can't maneuver toward it. Something close and literally at treetop level might not be an ideal target.
Yes, but the point being made is that you then choose a more welcoming instance and then it's defederated instead because it allowed your post, so then your Mastodon experience sucks anyway and you only gave yourself an illusion of freedom.

I'm not sure how common this issue is but I _can_ say that I've been through a defederation bullshit myself because the large instance did something as egregious as welcoming people regardless alignment to Swedish government party (i.e. any party with over 4% of votes in Sweden). That was far too much for some instances like mastodon.art to handle. The admin got fed up since he had neither will nor moderation resources of that kind and shut down the instance, so everyone had to migrate which is a headache by its own even if supported.

From other stories, I swear the greatest threat to the Fediverse is politics and more or less childish cross-instance strife. I just now checked my Mastodon feed and this very fucking issue was discussed once more so I guess some drama has went down again while I was away. There's been trouble of this kind on Lemmy too already.

People say "it's like e-mail". Yeah, if we have like 20 major e-mail servers in the world and there's drama across them as we bet on the winners via Patreon.
That's just supply and demand. It applies to virtually every good in a capitalist society regardless of the pursuit of success or wealth. Supply and demand is intrinsic to capitalism.
Twitter has the option to steer the moderation in any direction they want.
Speaking from very painful, personal experience, few things are more agitating than being forced to execute on something you fully know is a horrible idea, especially when you tried and failed to communicate this fact to the individual pushing you to go against your best judgement.

Even more so when that person later loudly proclaims that they never made such a request, even when provided with written proof.

I can of course not say whether the people currently working at Twitter did warn that the recent measures could have such major side effects, but I would not be surprised in the slightest, considering their leadership's mode of operation.

Even as someone who very much detests what Twitter has become over the last few months and in fact did not like Twitter before the acquisition, partly due to short format making nuance impossible, but mostly for the effect Tweets easy embeddability had on reporting (3 Tweets from random people should not serve as the main basis for an article in my opinion), I must say, I feel very sorry for the people forced to work at that company under that management.
> On ~~Mastodon~~ Twitter simply discussing certain topics will get you banned.

Also true.
There's nothing stopping you from dancing on acid or shrooms. In fact, that's the whole point of psytrance.
I'm not sure this really makes any more sense than AMD chasing CUDA compatibility with ROCm/MiOpen/HIP. CUDA and DirectX seem too low level to be used as a compatibility API over widely divergent hardware (AMD vs NVidia) without giving up a lot of performance.

cuDNN being higher level offers more opportunity for compatibility without losing performance (i.e different implementations of kernels fine-tuned for optimal performance on AMD vs NVidia hardware), but the trouble is that so much of what frameworks like PyTorch do is based on custom kernels, not just cuDNN.

It seems the best bet for AMD would be a rock solid low level API (not a moving target) and support of high level optimizing ML compilers to reduce the level of
effort for the framework (PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX ...) vendors to provide framework-level support on top of that. Ultimately they'd need to work very closely with the framework vendors to provide this support, since they are the ones who would be benefiting from it.

It's odd how much of an afterthought ML support has seemed to be for AMD over the years... maybe the relative size of the consumer ML market vs graphics/gaming market didn't seem to make it worth their effort, but as NVidia has shown this is a path to gaining much more lucrative data center wins.
This exactly. I have had to correct ChatGPT so many times when asking it coding questions. It often gives answers that are flat out deprecated, partially working, or flat out incorrect.
Which instance? Sounds like you joined a niche instance of a few hundred people. I find twitter to be extremely restrictive, you can’t have open discussions, you either get banned or get piled on by abusive blue check accounts.

Allergies are to specific proteins, or sub-sections thereof.

So the only question for the pork-allergic person is "does my immune system take offense to any of the pork proteins which they put into this soya bean?".

(Well, okay - if "no" to that first question, then you still may want to ask "is my immune system going to start taking offense to what is in this soya bean?", and "might they suddenly change which pork proteins are in the beans, blindsiding me?".)
When they say "banned", they mean "if I say grotesquely offensive things, other people will chose not to listen".

You know, just like in real life.

There are plenty of instances that allow abhorrent content, if that's what you want, but you can't force others to receive it.
600 posts is about 10 minutes of browsing for me. It seems to be counting replies in large threads to the limit. So even if you make a post with a premium account your content won't be read by the vast majority of your followers.
Nope. The (people aka) users, who are ... most educated, most intelligent and, ... most followed, are destroying twitter.

In somewhat more comprehensible terms: ... the golden calves are destroying twitter, not the guy who bought the thing from the guy who had no fucking idea what he was doing until someone told him ... (aka ... the dog).
The trick for preserving array lengths in function signatures looks quite useful (e.g., `void foo(int p[static 1]);` for a non-null pointer p). Unfortunately, I think the overloaded use of `const` and `static` somewhat obfuscates its semantics.
>Though, the only time when I did see that happen, was when someone was transphobic, homophobic, racist and such

“I mean, when all the wrong and bad people are kicked out everything is great!”

No one is complaining about people with Ford vs Chevy comments being banned. It’s the controversial things that need to be refuted, not hidden.

What makes you so absolutely certain you are on the “right side” of any opinion? Because the people in charge of these services are censoring the other side?

How long before you find yourself with “the wrong thoughts”?
There is no specific "pork allergy". People can be allergic against a carbohydrate called "alpha-gal", which is present in all mammalian meat, which includes pork.
People with "meat allergy" are not sensitive to poultry, reptilian meat or shellfish (the same way).

As long as this soy plant produces only the protein and not the carbohydrate, it should be fine.
