For me I was HOPING it will replace Twitter. For me it looks like it will not. I had to sign up for Instagram first, since I didn't have an account, and that's required. I heard about it from... the zeitgeist? Not sure where first, but I feel like it's been all over the tech press. My guess would be this is what Instagram looks like for most people, minus all the pictures?

It looks fine, but there's a HUGE BUT... it's an algorithmic feed and as far as I can tell, I can't change that. It's full of boobs and butts and celebrities. I can't find any easy/obvious way to change my feed into something that resembles just the people I want to follow. I use Twitter to learn and find things that are interesting. Using Tweetdeck means I can avoid all the worst parts of Twitter, and the algorithm. It looks like I can't do that on Threads, at least not now.

And there's not a web app.

I assume those things will change, but right now, it's not for me.

Not too active lately but feeling like I should get back into it more. I also write more on the company blog about industry topics. Since it's a one many company, it often feels like the right place. https://reviewsignal.com/blog/
Valentina's original blog post is easily misinterpreted. She is correct that quality is optional. Obviously so, many companies do fine with very poor quality software.

But something being mandatory or not doesn't influence the ROI. Something can be optional and high ROI or mandatory and low ROI. Low quality software is quite destructive over the long term and it is a horrible mistake to let coders go wild writing buggy software slowly.

That being said, the post is probably clickbait aimed at promoting her services. I doubt many people would make the mistake of thinking it a good idea to purposefully low quality written at slow speed.
Both this article and the one it references only seem to provide more evidence that the descent into mediocrity of the software industry is certainly happening. That said, there's a difference between actual quality, and "quality" as popularised by metrics-driven dogma.

It's not clear humans will even put the AI in 'a box' in the first place given we do gain of function research on deadly viruses right next to major population centers, but assuming for the sake of argument that we do:

The AGI is smarter than you, a lot smarter. If it's goal is to get out of the box to accomplish some goal and some human stands in the way of that it will do what it can to get out, this would include not doing things that sound alarms until it can do what it wants in pursuit of its goal.

Humans are famously insecure - stuff as simple as breaches, manipulation, bribery, etc. but could be something more sophisticated that's hard to predict - maybe something a lot smarter would be able to manipulate people in a more sophisticated way because it understands more about vulnerable human psychology? It can be hard to predict specific ways something a lot more capable will act, but you can still predict it will win.

All this also presupposes we're taking the risk seriously (which largely today we are not).

How so? It’s not like the CPU or the network care.
Or just use Hermit to automatically install deno on first run…
https://github.com/cashapp/hermit

(Disclaimer, I work for Square, a sister org within Block of CashApp, where the folks that created Hermit work.)

I've started using Hermit for all my personal projects... one too many times I've cloned one of my own github projects I haven't touched for a couple of years and taken half an hour to remember/decipher how to get everything installed and running. Now I just use Hermit, and possibly a `bootstrap.sh` file that will `pip install -f requirements.txt` or suchlike, and I'm off to the races.
That behavior didn't occur, as the Twitter Files themselves indicated. FBI gave a general warning prior to the election around hacked materials, Twitter (and many others) thought the laptop story might be one such example and reacted according to their own corporate policies/scenario planning. There is zero evidence that the government acted on the laptop story in any way, and even the Biden campaign/Biden family (private parties) only made requests specifically on posts sharing images of Hunter's penis, not on articles about the laptop itself.
Couldn't disagree more.

Big "winners" in this space can be dangerous, but they can also be an important tool/unfortunate necessity when it comes to national or global "news."

Which is to say, yes, I want a good replacement for Twitter because social media more-or-less succeeded where "the Rodney King story" failed.
And I’m sure that is something every user will actually care about.

I don’t see how you got there. I see literal demands for action in the tone of someone giving orders to a subordinate.
It's like when a rightist explains that Donald was a great president because he didn't "drone strike people like Obama did." The doublethink is ridiculous.

Unity is it's own beast like Unreal but in a different way, Unity as a platform supports mobile monetization in a way other platforms don't and Godot won't be cutting their lunch in that ecosystem any time soon.

But I suspect you mean for indie dev, in which case I totally agree. Godot is the lightweight, get out of your way and build shit framework that people want Unity to be. Godot is better at that task by a long shot.
The benefit of cocaine and cigarettes is letting people pass the bar exam.

An AI would provide benefits when it is, say, actually making paperclips. An AI that is killing people instead of making paperclips is a liability. A company that is selling shredded fingers in their paperclips is not long for this world. Even asbestos only gives a few people cancer slowly, and it does that while still remaining fireproof.

>Even if it is only trying to kill us all and not provide any benefits — let's say it's been made by a literal death cult like Jonestown or Aum Shinrikyo — what's the smallest such AI that can do it, what's the hardware that needs, what's the energy cost? If it's an H100, that's priced in the realm of a cult, and sufficiently low power consumption you may not be able to find which lightly modified electric car it's hiding in.

Anyone tracking the AI would be looking at where all the suspicious HTTP requests are coming from. But a rogue AI hiding in a car already has very limited capabilities to harm.
Web vitals have very little impact on SEO though. Some of the top ranked sites have awful scores. Google has never said how much impact it has not I'd bet close to 5%.
It's in Google Maps instead, as a layer.

And on my Pixel, it's available in the "At a glance" feature on the home screen.

Probably not the most intuitive places to put it though. I never even realized Android has a weather app...
Signup? yes. Already did. Use it? Not sure. I don't use Twitter much either though these days. Does Threads have the ecosystem early Twitter had? It wouldn't let me use it from a desktop which annoyed me to begin with.

I also have a bluesky account and look at it maybe once a week at best.
The PS5 is a good example, it was announced over a year before it came out and I'm confident first-party developers could already work on games for the platform, but... exclusives were lackluster at best, and for the first year or two it was pretty much all cross-platform titles.

Probably for the best since production couldn't keep up with demand, so the PS5 was a slow burner that didn't yet need exclusives to sell the console.

But a better launch lineup would've been nice.

I think we might be talking about different things. Slander is illegal. Political speech is constitutionally protected.

> You know what I haven’t seen? not once in 15 years?

> A company going under.

What a wild assertion: The OP hasn’t personally seen a company fail, and therefore software quality doesn’t matter? Bugs and slow delivery are fine?

It’s trivially easy to find counterexamples of companies failing because their software products were inferior to newcomers who delivered good results, fast development, and more stable experience. Startups fail all the time because their software isn’t good enough or isn’t delivered before the runway expires. The author is deliberately choosing to ignore this hard reality.

I think the author may have been swept up in big, slow companies that have so much money that they can afford to have terrible software development practices and massive internal bloat. Stay in this environment long enough and even the worst software development practices start to feel “normal” because you look around and nothing bad has happened yet.
Repeal of section 230. Remember when they brought all the CEOs to testify in front of congress?
“Lock her up”

I didn’t know that impersonating a public figure was acceptable according to twitter’s terms of service.

Perhaps there was special consideration that permitted an impersonator to remain on the platform?
The judgement itself is worth reading; it is not nearly as polemical as it being made out to be. It goes into detail on the question of how the states of Missouri and Louisiana have standing here; the “letter of the law” answer is that there is extensive precedent for determining whether states have standing in cases like this and the judge determined this case clearly passes the tests set by those precedents, while the “spirit of the law” answer (also given in the ruling) is that millions of citizens of Missouri and Louisiana have had their constitutional rights (both state and federal) interfered with by the plaintiffs, and as states are charged with upholding their citizens’ rights, they have standing to seek injunctions to protect those rights.

For anyone that used Evernote as a "Document Storage" app instead of just purely notes, I found Notebooks, https://www.notebooksapp.com/, https://www.notebooksapp.com/ to be a good replacement.

It works with files on your harddrive and your existing cloud storage (icloud / dropbox.) macOS/iOS only, but for someone who primarily is storing PDFs this was a much better fit than more alternates that are for taking notes.

You can get it done for $35. I can vouch for this guy, I got both of my AS numbers from him. (AS200676 and AS50755).

Of course the $35 doesn't include the VPS you'd need for actually announcing, but this is a _very_ cheap way to get into BGP.

>It matters because Trump appointed, and the GOP Senate confirmed

Minor nitpick - Judge Terry Doughty's confirmation was bi-partisan. There were 98 votes in favor, no votes against, and only 2 abstaining. Even Bernie Sanders voted in favor of the confirmation.

Even a lot of regular people these days are caught up in the addiction of getting the maximum amount of engagement out of everything they post online. They don't want to talk to people. They want thousands of strangers to praise them. So the bigger the network the more likely they can accomplish this.

I'd wager for some individuals something might not even be worth doing if they can't be seen by thousands of strangers doing it.

They took away my "free" <huge amount of space for 2011> many years back. I mainly got the space hosting events at my university and other free work I performed for the company around that time as well as many, many referrals.
Oh nice! Thanks!

I hadn't seen one of these deep links before I installed the app. After I installed the app they just opened the app but did nothing because I don't have an account. But I just uninstalled the app and now I see. This makes me a lot more positive on this product!
Not to us, but there are other folks out there.

As I've implied elsewhere, I like little geek communities too, but the big easy networks can and have fulfilled an important purpose of essentially being a better world "town square" than, e.g. network news.

They're incredibly far from perfect, but they've done a LOT of good, and are likely to continue to be necessary.
Example for the last point: people seem to have forgotten how much of a "quality" shitshow was Twitter. The thing was written in Ruby on Rails, downtime was normal and expected by everyone. Yet the platform thrived and the username grew. Or Facebook, the page didn't fully load like 30% of the time, meaning that at least one panel was broken, some picture was missing, etc.

That's interesting. It must make it a lot more difficult for reporters trying to capture images and videos of newsworthy events. It seems like exposing corruption could be a lot more difficult if regulatory capture ever happens.

Given Apple and Google have the ability to record every word you say(maybe not store it for 300M people, but they can certainly filter it for specific words that could begin recording once triggered... "Hey Google/Siri/Alexa/Cortana"), the issue is that we don't want the US government doing it, but private companies can? Heck if you buy any IOT device with a mic, you should give up any idea you have privacy.

I'm over this illusion of privacy.

If you are asking if we should spend less on spying, sure, but that could be my ignorant teens when I was an anarchist talking.

I thoroughly dislike Django.

But if you look at how it works in Python, it's by taking over class definitions in such a way that a field can be both a description of the field and an actual value. That doesn't work in Go (explicit casting the fields at every place you use them could work, but is prone to errors). It "cleverly" overrules operators to turn something like the Python expression `age > 50` into the sql string `age > 50`. Can't be done in Go, unless you define functions for all operators and find a way to reflect on the field name and the current context (`gt("age", 50)`). That's a lot of work to turn one string into the same one. URLs can't be linked to a class by simply importing a file; you'd need to add quite a bit of scaffolding (a factory for each class with a common interface, I guess?). And there are other parts that rely on annotation and whatever that simply can't be ported to Go, so you'd have to turn them into function calls. And Django doesn't give you more than a glorified POST form app out of the box anyway. You have to add more views and serializers to turn it into a modern backend, so why not skip that and use libraries that implement the functionality you do need.

Ok, my dislike shines through, but the gist is that Go doesn't let other code take over the interpretation of the meaning of expressions and statements and inject things into classes like Python does. It all has to be done explicitly. So django-like functionality for Go would have to look very different.
It was stolen revenge-porn of the President's son. Come on, do you remember how bad "The Fappening" went for Reddit? How Hulk Hogan's stolen sex tape went for Gawker? Twitter didn't need FBI to tell them that they didn't want Hunter Biden's cock all over their site.
Classic case of false equivalence: they both appointed judges therefore their actions must be equivalent, right?

“My company didn’t go under” is pretty much the lowest bar you can shoot for.

This blog post is saying “Staying healthy doesn’t matter because neither I nor anyone I know died so far.”
I've seen bad software and slow delivery lose companies important clients, causing job losses and severe financial problems.

I've also seen companies go out of business because they tried to make perfect software and never actually delivered it to anyone.

The right approach, I think, is to do the minimum necessary and do it very well. Easier said than done though.
I'm in a similar boat, and eventually realized that Godot 3.5.2 is still the LTS version and still exports just great for the web -- this is the example that convinced me it was time to switch:
https://yet-another-lucas.github.io/plumbing-adventure/

After I realized this, I decided to switch from Godot 4.0 C# to Godot 3.5.2 with GDScript and I've been happy ever since. I've even got it set up with a CI/CD pipeline to automatically build-and-deploy to Github Pages whenever I commit to master -- these CI/CD pipelines are pretty sweet.

It's a private transaction, so it's unknown and unless it's leaked out we are unlikely to ever know. There was a startup I was co-founder of at one point, and seven years later (about the same age as Paperspace) we sold for a similar amount, and the net of my shares was a little over $100,000. The CEO got more, other early joiners less. And among my direct knowledge of individuals in the startup community, this is not an unusual case, but rather typical. Many times companies are sold but the money goes primarily to the venture capitalists. Even seed and early round investors can get minimal or no returns after later dilution after a sale.

The "20%" case is typically the best case that happens only in the 1/10,000 chance of extreme fast growth into a new behemoth, OR where the founders are already high net worth individuals or come from high net worth families, and can provide their own money in conjunction with VCs instead of relying on them for most capital.

Because this is all private and not discussed, we tend to only hear of the very exceptional cases, and ignore the vast majority of the non-lottery winners in the startup world.
I only wish Microsoft showed it some actual love. The app's been languishing for years, and most any new feature is in the vein of "you can embed TikToks now" or something only applicable to a classroom setting.

That, and while I love that their apps are native, there are serious consistency issues with eg. how search behaves, and the resurrected Windows app still not using the modern sync backend mobile, web and macOS do.
I of course believe a better world is possible. That's why I went out and did something that nobody had ever done before: I produced a documented and sprawling API of regex engine internals as reusable abstractions in a separately versioned library. Rust is the only reason I was able to even consider doing that in the first place.

What you're talking about is categorically different. Your idea is so out there that I can't even begin to dream up a programming language that would resolve all of my concerns and challenges with building a general purpose regex library with Unicode support that is one of the fastest in the world, supports arbitrary alphabets and is actually something that I can maintain with reasonablish compile times.

IMO, I'm the optimist here and you're the pessimist. From my perspective, I see and celebrate what Rust has allowed me to accomplish. But from your perspective, what you see (or what you comment on, to be more precise) is what Rust has supposedly held me back from accomplishing. (And even that is something of a stretch, because it isn't at all clear to me that programming language expressivity and the concept of "zero cost abstractions" is arbitrarily powerful in the first place. See, for example, the premise of the 2014 film "Lucy".)
FYI, there are already follow-up patches in 6.1.38, 6.3.12 and 6.4.2. This is often the case when bugfixes happen in a rush and with limited testing. So if you haven't started integrating, just make the jump to the latest version.
