Twitter has 450 million monthly active users at a generous guess.

Facebook's MAU: 2.98 billion

Instagram's MAU: 1 billion

Twitter, is an (un)surprisingly small fry when it comes to social networks.

Unlike most, Facebook actually knows how to build a social network, and grow it.

“People are begging to be disappointed and they will be. The hype is just like... We don’t have an actual AGI and that’s sort of what’s expected of us.”

- Sam Altman in an interview about GPT-4 with StrictlyVC

"(GPT4) is a system that will look back and say it was a very early AI. It is slow, it is buggy, and it does not do a lot of things very well, but neither did the very earliest computers, and they still pointed to a path that is going to be really important in our lives even if it took a few decades,"

Threads (App) – Number of Users
> We require drivers license to operate vehicle, it is time we should require infosec101 training before handing over credit cards and or online banking accounts.

Sure. Why not start with an outline for what infosec101 should look like. Include estimates for how long the training should take, what the cadence for testing should be, and which agency should be responsible for validating that training. Do be sure to accurately communicate the degree to which an end user with a chip enabled bank or credit card has the ability to distinguish and disambiguate what constitutes a 'safe' or 'legitimate' online business. Also, include some details about how individuals who have been certified as completing this class and/or licensing scheme should procure insurance to protect themselves in case of an accidental data breach (for example, they leak their card info), and outline the process by which that same licensee can file an insurance claim against the insured party downstream of the physical point of payment or online payment portal that allowed a breach to happen. After all - if we are going to require online safety training, and licensing, then we should create another insurance scheme to facilitate resolution of those claims and resolve the costs.

It is really easy to point the fingers at a customer and say "problem exists between chair and keyboard", but the reality is that in the modern economy, the end user has almost no control over the security of their transactions, and little ability to influence how their purchase is handled beyond the question of "cash or card".

The only incentive that retailers, online stores, payment processors, and financial institutions have to resolve this is the simple fact that they own the liability for this, and it's only through the myth of the idiot user that they have been able to shift that liability, to varying degrees, back to the consumer.

I'd argue that employment data is so manipulated it's basically useless at this point.

I'd say 4/6 people I know working in tech (devs, pm's etc) are unemployed at the moment. Those looking for work are getting maybe one interview per 30 applications. These are people with FAANG credentials and over 8yrs of experience.

And that's in tech, can't imagine how things are going in other industries.

TinyML to LLMs
I've just made a first project in fastAPI, and it was trivially simple compared to my previous adventures in DRF. Plus asyc from the get go, which was also pleasant. I had a task as part of this that takes 10 seconds to run, and there's a built in way to allow it to run in the background.

And the documentation is excellent.
Wow, i didn't know that this is already possible with type script. seems like there are transformers you can add to typescript that can implement it.

So type script more or less supports the feature they asked for. Just not bundled with the main package, but they provide the interface to get it done with 3rd party transformers.

People care. You just refuse to listen to what they say.

They say things like "my internet cap is reached", "my battery is drained faster", "my phone is slow" and a million other things that oblivious and clueless programmers don't hear because they can only hear when someone talks about megabytes, cpu cycles, RAM etc.
In my experience, it's always the junior who shouts "This could all be so much simpler!".

Vis-a-vis the conversation that has ensued from this statement, I'll offer the suggestion that the real seniors are the ones who don't make blanket statements one way or the other, and appreciate the distinction between incidental complexity and intrinsic complexity. Some times, the problem itself is simply complex and requires a complex solution. One should not rush to eschew complexity in those cases. Other times, the complexity is incidental and is brought in by the choices of the developers. In (many|most|all|??) of those cases, we should try hard to avoid that complexity.

I'm not missing your point, but I don't see where it constitutes the counterargument that context and framing suggest you mean it to be.

What you're describing here is your perspective from within the small and insular group busily developing and advocating new technology, always focused on the next new thing that was cool and interesting and succinct and powerful. What I'm describing is my perspective from well outside that pale. Both can be true at the same time.

Text AI Art Generators Hinder Artists More Than Help Them
As a commercial artist, this rings true. The systems are capable enough and great for breaking up creative blocks, building mood boards, and other non-deliverable assets or pieces that have deliberately loose reqs. But natural language is simply a bad way to convey what commercial art deliverables need to be. That's why nearly every design contract has a built-in number of included revisions. Even with premade assets and a back-and-forth with sketches and proofs of concept, it's nearly impossible to write a final specification that perfectly conveys what the deliverable needs.
Laypeople love these tools so much because they abstract away a ton of stuff they don't need to think about to satisfy their requirements. Unfortunately, those controls are very consequential to professionals. Aesthetic controls seem great if you're making something to look at, but lack the precision to maintain completely unbendable branding guidelines or similar constrictions. The results aren't repeatable enough to perfectly maintain the appearance of an iconic character or logo-- an absolute must. They also need more granularity to finely control composition in addition to subject matter. For example, I might want to have the edge of a man's sleeve form an imaginary line with the buttons on his shirt that forms a rough logarithmic spiral that terminates in his iris and have the bottom edge of his sleeve which is resting against a table point towards the upper-left-hand corner of the screen, where I'll later place a logo... and that's just a teeeeeny aspect of that image. Beyond that, the handles to mitigate these problems completely differ from how artists reason about them.
I think Adobe and other companies that make professional tools for commercial artists are going to lead the way here, with interfaces that more accurately reflect serious artists' processes and requirements. At the same time, Midjourney et. al. will let others get creative with stuff for their amusement, PowerPoint presentations, etc. Nothing wrong with that, but they're not about to blow up anything but the lowest-end commercial art world in the near future.
> My guess is they shipped it in a hurry, and now there is enormous pressure on them to add all the missing features quickly,

So, like every other first version of a software or hardware release, from Facebook to the iPhone?

> never a good plan.

Sure, the history of those decisions is littered with tech-debt-ridden corpses, but likewise is also how every success starts it's way.

It might not be a good plan for employee work-life balance, but in a tech recession where noone is hiring, it's a GREAT plan.
I think the documentation could be a lot clearer about this. I can understand if the goal is for the abstraction to be thin and unopinionated, and that means you have to be an expert in each backend. But they don’t seem to explain this very well.
Preach, brother!

If only ECMAScript had a native macro system, TypeScript could be just a library - and I would have zero problems with its existence.

You're probably familiar with the following anecdote:

>Eich originally joined intending to put Scheme "in the browser",[4] but his Netscape superiors insisted that the language's syntax resemble that of Java.

JavaScript became the language that we all love to hate due to political, not technical reasons. Yet people look at me funny when I call out the TS/React monoculture as the blatant corporate power grab that it is.
If that's so much needed I wonder why there isn't a thriving ecosystem of pluggable typescript preprocessors that add whatever values based on types direcly to typescript source before compilation.
Mathematicians love arguing about which proof is the most elegant or most insightful, and which definitions are the ones that most captivate the essence of a concept (ask three mathematicians from different fields to define Euler's constant e, for example).

So yeah, there is very clearly a human and subjective element in mathematics, even when the results themselves are objective (modulo axioms and inference rules).

Certainly not with the same reach as the public web. But my websites are for the benefit of the public more than for my benefit. They're a way of giving back to the community. That's the loss I mourn more than anything.

So I am still publishing -- only now, it's an invite-only sort of deal. I have heard from several others that are doing the same thing.

The best-case scenario that I see right now is if others who also feel pushed off the open web get together and do some sort of private federation, resulting in a smaller, private web.

Maybe official preprocessor plugins for TypeScript compiler could help?

I understand that everybody who needs it can already put their own preprocessor that generates runtime objects from type information before the code is passed to tsc for compilation.

But the effort is inconsistent and distributed.

If TypeScript officially supported pluggable preprocessor and plugin ecosystem for it some good solutions might get discovered.
I mean, you certainly should learn arithmetic before using a calculator, right? But a calculator is more of a library than a framework, anyway, so your attempt at proof-by-analogy isn't at all resonating with me.

The app's target consumer is advertisers, and the app is this way because of those advertisers and their concerns. I'm not sure the person using the app is a "consumer" from Meta's point of view, more like a "digital subscriber."

> The proprietary mindset has infected the "programmers with free time" community ...

I don't know whether there is a difference between today and twenty something years ago. Anyway, as long as one has not enough money to live on passive income, time is money. So one has to somehow monetize on one's one time and skill. This is not poisonous. Earning money is just a matter of life, because one needs money to live from (or someone else has to pay the bills).

I had a quite popular open source project about two decades ago. A lot of people used it (there were more than 300 people on the projects mailing list alone), and many of them also for commercial purposes. There was an option to donate to the project; but when I remember it correctly, I recieved only a single donation in all the years. However, I considered my open source work as a kind of quid pro quo for all the free software I use. But when the project ended, I had no motivation to invest any more time in another open source project, because I considered my "debt" repaid and moved on to other kinds of social engagement.
Frameworks are bad because they don't compose. What does compose? Simple types and pure functions. If you want to create a community with high levels of code reuse, start there.
TypeScript does emit runtime type information through enums though.
>I don't mean this in a sarcastic way but Go was explicitly designed for the lowest common denominator developer. Kernighan said it himself.

What's the issue with making Go good for the lowest common denominator developer? This is fantastic for businesses as they can get new developers productive within a few days. It's great for the ecosystem because the barrier of entry is low.

Just because it's made simple and easy to pick up doesn't mean you can't write complex software with it. It's a programming language, you can write whatever you want with it. If it makes writing complex software easier, then that's a good thing. The only reason why someone would think that's not a good thing is their ego because $FAVOURITE_LANGUAGE has 10x as many language features and 10x as many ways to do the exact same thing.

What is this walled garden you think exists that prevents motivated engineers from doing good work? I like to think of myself as motivated and Go is the reason for that. It made writing complicated concurrent software so much easier for me, and it made reasoning about them so much easier. I do not understand this criticism of Go.

> like making backups before undergoing production work

The specific part you mention also brings up a really vital part of a backup system, testing that the backups generated actually can restored.

I've seen so many companies with untested recovery procedures where most of the time they just state something like "Of course the built-in backup mechanism work, if it didn't, it wouldn't be much of a backup, would it? Haha" while never actually tried to recover from it.

Although, to be fair, I've only seen one time out of the untested 10s where it had an actual impact and the backups actually didn't work, but the morale hit that the company ended up having made my brain really remember the fact to test your backups.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate and agree with most of what this post says in isolation, but unfortunately I think it misses the point in a broader context. This advice works when children/students have plenty of support from above. It can be counterproductive when they don't. It's preaching to the comfortable upper-middle-class choir.

These days I live in silicon valley and my wife's family sponsors a bunch of projects at the montessori school they've attended for multiple generations, but I grew up in a small town in Texas where parents (and teachers) beat children for asking questions the adults don't know how to answer. This is advice to help people who are already in a good position get into an even better position. If you're born at the bottom, using existing institutions, which are consistent and safe, to escape to a better place might be the best you can hope for. "Getting your friends together and busking" sounds great if you have money to buy instruments and free time to learn how to play them and sane supportive parents who are supportive of that, and that might make you stand out on your ivy league application if you manage to record and self-publish something. But a school marching band gives you an instrument, and schedules time for you to practice during the school day, and is a verifiable piece of experience that a state university will probably recognize even if you don't win any form of competition. So I don't consider this post to be good advice generally for the masses. And as long as bad parents are allowed to give their children bad childhoods and bad communities are allowed to treat children like property en masse, this advice will be counterproductive for a pretty significant portion of society.
That is a simplistic description of him. From the site you quoted, which is not biased in favor of him, a quote from Koonin:
