It's easy for random people on HN and elsewhere to armchair quarterback, and act as if they know for sure what makes Twitter tick. But they don't have access to the data, and they have no experience building or running a massive social network. (The same goes for me. Take all I say with a grain of salt.)

My guess is there is no single answer to what makes Twitter great. It has so many niches and sub-niches that it's completely different for most people. It's a bit like Reddit, but without formal or visible boundaries between communities.

And the network effects are so strong at this point that it's hard to unravel. Musk can make a million mistakes, and Zuck can launch a million alternatives but they aren't going to succeed in convincing the most powerful Twitter users in each community from abandoning the audiences they've cultivated. And as long as they're there, everyone else will be, too.
The stupid thing is those companies using RHEL have been relying on people being able to learn those systems on the free derivatives. So has Red hat.
Interesting as all rules and regulations initiatives are still grapelling with what 'AI-generated' actually means, and depending on that definition the percentage of AI-generated games on Steam are somewhere between 100% and 0%.
I don't think you actually understand what makes Meta great and why they continue to win.

It is the fact that they run the most sophisticated, best-performing and well-run advertising platform of any website on the planet. And nothing comes close. Not Google. Not TikTok. And definitely not Twitter.

The fact they are going to bring that to Threads is going to utterly decimate Twitter's revenue.
In my social circle (Germany), Snapchat is completely gone, Instagram stories dominate. Some people use Instagram reels, but most use TikTok.
Another thing to consider is the scope of the problem. While it may be true restaurants don't keep their menus up to date - you need to understand if that matters and how much. One way to assess this is to interview restaurant owners and ask them broad questions like "How do you keep your menus up to date?", "How much time does this take you?", "Who is responsible for doing this?", "Have you had an customer complaints due to inaccurate menus?", "Have problems with order items caused you to lose business? if so, how much?", "What solutions have you looked for already to solve this problem".

This last one is especially useful because if they never looked for a solution its a signal this isn't a real problem. There are millions of problems in the world and most of them are not worth solving because they don't actually matter that much. That's an important angle to think about.

What we’re working on is more than that - it’s an interactive hardware/software device with game-mechanics. Users’ attentions shift and come in and out of focus as they become acquainted with it. There are moments when they will read an instruction, and there are moments when they will miss it.
It's very 2005. It's surprising this movie wasn't made.

Linear attention will cause it to forget details and make it less rich than alternatives using proper quadratic attention. It only competes with the best transformers in benchmarks when the number of parameters is about the same anyway whereas one would expect a drastic decrease in parameters when using linear attention.
Say you have a transit map with lines, stops and labels. You always want lines below stops below labels, but that also makes it impossible to group a specific line’s stops and labels together without just totally going on top of a different line’s group. Which then makes interactivity annoying.
I feel like productivity increase stopped at 1080p-1440p@60 for most office work, 4k was diminishing return point for art work. Extra real estate / pixel density hasn't added much to the process, maybe 5k for video people who want to work in 4k. There's some peole with sufficient visually acuity that "feels" better working with more density and refresh rate, but it's hard to rationalize the cost on performance grounds now.
The ruling states you can't use the CFAA to prevent people from scraping. It says nothing of copyright, and indeed you can't just ignore licenses when scraping, otherwise every public repository on GitHub would be a free-for-all.
The title has been changed since it was originally posted. It didn't make grammatical sense, and that's what I meant.

Agreed. Red Hat is simply doing what grsecurity did in 2017. It is legal and does not violate any license.

> Besides, FSF/GNU never said that you can't charge money for FOSS or that the source code must be published for anyone in some git repository.

The issue is, IMO, that they are saying they are terminating access to those publishing those sources. I don’t know if that goes against the letter of the GPL (IANAL), but I’d say it certainly goes against the spirit, they are denying their users a freedom to publish those sources, in a way.

Honestly... A 600 tweet limit is not a bad idea if you're already limiting viewing tweets to people who has an account.
Taking into account that people without an account don't add anything if value to the platform other than traffic costs.
However this will limit the amount of potential new users on the platform - but considering the size of twitter I don't think it is an issue.

Now next on the agenda is identifying all the bots that circle jerks each other and spreads fake news.
The amount of user “app privacy data” listed on the App Store page is nauseating.
Code review doesn't magically catch all bugs even with tiny PRs. At best it's a basic sanity check. In fact I'd say it's more of a design sanity check than a bug catching one.

To prevent bugs you need tests, fuzzing, static analysis, static & strong type checking, etc.
It's okay. It's hard to gauge tone online in the best circumstances, and the HN threading isn't super obvious. No worries.

I was just curious how the Japanese handle those "ah, you're great but... the sex was not" situations, especially being a high context and super polite society. Like do they just culturally place less weight on it, and accept that they're going to not enjoy sex much, and that's okay if the rest of the relationship is great? Do they communicate about it and try to improve it? It's hard to imagine sex therapy in that culture. Are things changing with the younger generations? Etc. I want to learn about these nuances (just out of curiosity).

And yeah, I can believe there are romantic relationships where sex isn't the primary driver, especially when you're older, but I think by and large that is no longer the norm in the US. We use hookups as a "trial run" for more serious relationships... even if sex isn't the only consideration, it at least a major one for most Americans, I think. But we're also a more individualistic and hedonistic culture than the Japanese, so I'm curious how it works there. What we might call "sex positive"... is that even a thing there?

If your family had stayed on Windows, would you have gotten more requests today than with the current setup? It's disingenuous to compare Windows of many years ago (on probably some crappy underspecced and bloated laptop) vs a modern OS (on expensive hardware).

Data point of one: I also used to be the IT person in my family. Still is. But I never get calls anymore. Things generally just work. And most of them run Windows.

Actually, I've done more support for people using MacOS. Each upgrade inevitably break something. Only way to have a hands-off Mac experience is to tell everyone to never upgrade their OS..

I meant manufacturing. Longevity we already discussed. LED lamps die on me on the regular and I am not buying a Hue, I need a dumb bulb with a single dim warm color without flicker that's all.

I could not find a good summary on LED manufacturing after cursory search, if you don't really know yourself then it's okay to admit it (but maybe don't claim they're ecologically better without knowing the impact of their manufacturing).

Sorry, I'm a software engineer, I never installed crapware, ever, and I moved off of windows (long before I moved my family). The amount of time spent troubleshooting issues was always non negligible. Today, on Mac I wan wake up, open the lid and start coding. With windows, I used to be afraid of even closing the lid the night before. The amount of peace of mind I get today, and the time I save? Macs could cost 2x more and I still would be saving money. Funny thing is, before I moved to macs, I used to not like them at al, mainly because the entire UI/UX was different. But then I got used to it, and huge productivity boosts like spotlight (don't get me started on windows search + all the indexing while searching), silent almost never activating fans, like confidently leaving the house for 5 hours without having to carry a charger (try that with a powerful windows laptop), being able to drop the thing without having to worry about buying a new one, and a 1000 other little things that really add up. My point is, the reason there are apple fanboys is not because they're a great company, or they pretend to want to save the planet, or because of "one last thing" or whatever, it's because of all these small things that add up to just letting you do your work and forget about the machine. I'm an engineer and I don't want to think about my machine. Imagine what my mother feels.

> why are you doing this for

Honestly, I just thought it would be an amusing way to convert temperature, and a subtle dig at people who don't use the correct units. I don't want people to use this as an actual compass, and get themselves lost because of it.
God I wish everything was done in this way. Even the C standards committee moves too fast and adds features that have no place in the standard.
Yes, someone can buy RHEL, request the source, and then share it away. And they can do nothing about it.

However, it doesn't mean that Red Hat is required to keep doing business with them, or that they are automatically entitled to receive all future updates.

As I said, GNU never said that the source code must be downloadable by anyone, anytime, anywhere in the world, from some public repository. It would be a completely valid business to sell binaries and then only provide the source code on request. This of course does not fit some people's idea of what free software is about.

There are of course a lot of ways that people can use to obtain RHEL source code even from now on, but I think that some people underestimate how much friction this can cause for the downstream derivatives.
> Why is Red Hat obligated to release source code.

Because the GPL requires them to do so for their users. They are circumventing this by making anyone who re-publishes the source (allowed by the GPL) ex-users.
I would love to see the out-takes from recording this, and see how many times the actor just broke out laughing his ass off, spewing all that gibberish!
No, I don't think it is against GPL, certainly not the letter, and not even the spirit. GPL gives you source. GPL does not give you stream of updates.
A related theory (and book with the same name) is 'Learning as a generative activity', which states that learning occurs when one uses informations / half-backed k owledge to produce new content.

It becomes more relevant these days since we tend more and more to outsource content creation to the machines. This theory would predict that we would learn less doing so.
> Yeah, it sucks that RH doesn't want to make life easy for rebuilders. But ultimately building your entire business model on copying the work of some other company verbatim is not a great idea.

Indeed. But the thing is that Red Hat is veering on the abusive edge of exploiting the work of FOSS contributors just the same - the "classic" and accepted FOSS monetization way was to provide paid support with SLAs for customers. This work cannot be copied by anyone else, just the business model - but that's ordinary business competition.
I'm torn on this. On one hand I do agree and lament that many foundational open source products are underfunded to the detriment of its users.

But like I say when a for-profit corporation complains and blames outside forces when they have trouble with their finances: it is not our responsibility to make your business model work.

If you want to get paid a certain amount to write software, donations are often not a reliable way to do that. As much as I am an open-source advocate, dual licensing and requiring payments for commercial use seems like a better path to stable income, assuming others believe your software is worth the price.
idea: add a checkbox to make the red line "snap" to the tick marks / major scales. (user can press Alt key to re-enable fine control momentarily)
"if a user specifically asks for something, our product might inadvertently fulfill that request."

If that's something that needs fixing, the product seems fundamentally broken unless the product isn't designed to work for the "user", and if that's the case, I'm not interested in being a "user" of an adversarial product that also occasionally lies to my face.

Powerful AI on the desktop can't happen soon enough. Even if it still lies sometimes, it seems the only way to makes sure it's working for me and my interests without throwing up artificial restrictions around whatever is possible.
> GPL does not give you stream of updates.

What? GPL gives you the source if you receive the compiled form. When the source changes, you get those as well if you receive the compiled form.

Edited in if you receive the compiled form twice for clarity.

I can sympathize with your situation.

If you don't have a formal diagnosis from her physician, that might be your next best move. I don't know where you live, but you or someone else that's involved should also look into getting medical power of attorney for your mother. There are a lot of difficult decisions coming up regarding her care and those are preparations best made early.

Remember that many, many people have been through what you and your mother are going through right now. There's a wealth of available information for you. I also recommend that you visit a memory care facility just so you can get some of the pamphlets and other materials that they have on hand for families that are dealing with this.

Finally, thinking of dementia as just a memory problem downplays how insidious it is. It's a loss of overall cognitive function that includes memory, reasoning, and the general ability to think. The only good part about it is that the person suffering from it doesn't typically know that it's happening.

Best wishes and good luck. Your mother is fortunate to have someone who cares about her like you do.

Redhat was actually really profitable, one of the reasons it was bought out.

Unlike most startups, and darlings like Uber, Dropbox, Airbnb, and the like, Redhat actually makes loads of money. So please try to count as many software companies are more profitable than Redhat.

Redhat saw “freeloaders” and wanted a piece of that pie. Terrible mistake.

Redhat says those distributions don’t really do much, they are not completely wrong, but they do one thing that helps redhat, they expand their market. Because of a lot more companies using “RHEL compatible” distros, lots of software, (specially in areas with more regulation, or very specialized domains, etc) simply target those, this makes Redhat a very good option even if you can get some build from elsewhere, or Amazon/Oracle copies of those.

It also provides a safety net/insurance for anyone picking a Redhat contract. Can’t go much wrong.

Anyway, the issue is simple, it’s lack of vision, not only from redhat leadership but from plenty of other companies in today’s world, they are more concerned with “capturing” their small pond, instead of having a very small part of the ocean.

Ocean is scary, too big to be controlled, even if your small part is much bigger than the pond, it requires actual expertise, and to benefit from such a huge thing you have to actually look for opportunities. And worse, you have to allow others to also make profits from that huge ocean.

Much easier to just close a pond and rent seek. Lazy
Government mandates are never going to get some sites to comply, so why is government threatening the companies who _want_ to comply?

If we removed the legal mandate, we could do this with voluntary industry support. MindGeek owns not just PornHub but tons of other sites -- if they said "We'll publish this header; dear Mozilla and Google, please support/ build parental controls that check for this header," then most other mainstream porn sites would join in too.

People shouldn't have to tell the government they're going to read a (dirty) book, and they shouldn't have to identify themselves to porn businesses.
