Instagram launched in 2010 (but really gained traction only in 2011). It has been available via the web since 2012 but it took until 2015 for the web version to reach feature parity with the app version (namely posting and discovery).

Based on that, I think it's safe to assume that a full featured web version of Threads should be up within a year. Threads already has some web presence (you can view threads and profiles).
Because AESNI and CLMUL, AES-GCM is faster than a SIMD implementation of ChaCha20Poly1305. In theory, ChaCha20 is overkill, 8 rounds would have been enough and people do use 12 rounds for disk encryption.

>Many people (especially tech people) have an almost psychotic adversity against any kind of paid online services.

That is what confuses me...we are strongly in favor of privacy and tracker blocking, but then get upset when we have to pay money to join a social media. Are there any third options to support platforms that don't require payments, or advertisement viewing?
can some expert give her/his feedback?Seems bs to me.
You need to use the new OpenAI Functions API. It is absolutely bonkers at returning formatted results. I can get it to return a perfectly formatted query-graph a few levels deep.
It's cynical, but because McDonald's only has so many humans to do social media, and they can't be everywhere all the time, so it's in their better interest to hype the fast horse and back it. We wouldn't want them infiltrating our forums, but they want our attention, and it's more cost effective to get it from Twitter and Threads than a million decentralized forums.
Summary of What has been driving inflation? Economists' thinking may have changed | Planet Money

This is an AI generated summary. There may be inaccuracies.

00:00:00 - 00:25:00
In this video, economists discuss the factors driving inflation and how their thinking has evolved. Traditionally, inflation has been attributed to factors such as excessive demand, insufficient supply, or too much money chasing too few goods. However, economists are now exploring alternative explanations, including the wage-price spiral and the profit-price spiral. While rising wages leading to higher prices and vice versa have been a historical concern, recent data suggests that wages have not been keeping up with inflation, prompting economists to examine the role of corporate profits. The video highlights that corporate greed is not the primary driver of inflation, as firms have always pursued profits. However, severe bottlenecks in the economy, such as those experienced after World War II and during the pandemic, can create opportunities for corporations to increase prices and profits. The economists discuss the concept of price controls and the role of corporate profit growth in driving inflation. They find evidence that markup growth, closely related to corporate profits, accounted for a significant portion of inflation in 2021. This challenges the traditional focus on wage growth as an indicator of inflation and suggests that rising profits should also be considered. The idea that the expectations of higher costs in the future could drive inflation, even if costs themselves don't increase, is also discussed. The economists express uncertainty and acknowledge they may not have all the answers, but they feel validated by the evidence gathered and are interested in seeing how corporations will behave in the coming year.
I think you've actually got it a bit backwards.

Meta did not spend enough time thinking about monetization in the long term, realized they were in a really rocky position due to Apple and Google owning the platforms Facebook ran on, and then desperately had to come up with a new platform they could monetize.

They've pushed it so hard now because they didn't think about monetization early.
to be fair, if load is just shared between Instagram servers, a lot of people are probably testing out threads and using Instagram less today. Though, I imagine twitters usage is dropping like a fly. How they retain any advertisers after this, I can't imagine.

There is stuff living in rocks down to about 4km depth (the limiting factor is heat), including far below the seafloor. It's still an open question whether this biomass, some of which has been out of contact with the surface for hundreds of millions of years, exceeds the biomass of surface on Earth, but it's at least in the same ballpark.
Instead of the model changing, it’s equally likely that this is a cognitive illusion. A new model is initially mind-blowing and enjoys a halo effect. Over time, this fades and we become frustrated with the limitations that were there all along.
Sony kept innovating

PS1, you could play your CD musics and play games

PS2, you could play your DVD movies, play games and play online!

PSP, you could browse the internet, watch movies, listen to music and play games on the go!

Sony kept innovating and that helped the industry move forward

Now they are exploring with VR..

What the competition been doing during that time other than complain?

You see that kind of similar success with Nintendo and the Wii, they innovated and attracted the mass, and they repeated it with the Switch

Sony gets lot of unfair criticism in my opinion, Apple did the same with the iPhone, they offered something unique that people wanted

If Microsoft wants to turn the table, they'll have to offer something interesting, 2 console with different specs just aint it
License plates themselves are not PII.

They are publicly available data. If the license plate is associated with OTHER PII it becomes a problem. However reading your license plate on the way into and out of a garage is just reading a publicly available code at different times of day. The fact that that code must always be displayed on your vehicle, and can be tied to your identity is an issue, but the code itself doesn't constitute PII.

This is survivorship bias, literally. Religion displays a seemingly higher cohesiveness of a moral and ethical philosophy partly because many who disagreed were actually killed. In more modern times they are merely excommunicated, shunned. Now that we can't just kill our political dissidents, we are left with less cohesion.

I am currently reading The Brothers Karamazov and recorded a couple quotes from the chapter I'm currently in (Book V: Pro and Contra, Chapter 5: The Grand Inquisitor) about freedom and religion, which seem too poignant to pass up right now. Not that I think religion is the answer to the problem. Here's one of my favorites:

"So long as man remains free he strives for nothing so incessantly and so painfully as to find someone to worship. But man seeks to worship what is established beyond dispute, so that all men would agree at once to worship it...what is essential is that all may be together in it. This craving for community of worship is the chief misery of every man individually and all of humanity from the beginning of time."

This just tells me that there is no solution to this foible of human nature and that we are doomed to a future of dissatisfaction, and we'll invent endless ways to keep fighting.

I'm not saying we should do nothing. I'm just so tired, it seems so obvious, yet the path is not clear at all.

Hey there just FYI we just pushed a new version of our Documentation that works also when you're logged out. (https://june.so/docs/quickstart/install)

Really appreciate your feedback
I think you're getting to the critical points here:

- manually, non-recorded, surveillance was difficult as it required a lot of man power. It also was contingent upon the trustworthiness of the source!

- Recorded surveillance was expensive and bulky, making it unlikely in the first place.

- Storage of data, both physical and digital (film or tape), was expensive, bulky, and difficult to search.

Now all that has changed, and in extreme ways. It is now very feasible and cheap to put up a camera to record 24/7, store that data for lengthy periods of time, and automatically search that data for cheap and in a reasonable amount of time as well. Acting like the 70's (or even 2000's) and 2020's are the same in expectations of surveillance is ludicrous at best.
this was clearly not an abuse of power and the fact that you think so and appear to be the top comment is deeply concerning
Quite hilarious to see both her and Musk lauding the great Twitter community and Musk tweeting memes about Threads copying Twitter when they themselves showed up at Twitter yesterday. Neither of them had anything to do with building the app and its community. Quite the opposite in fact.
> This is why physical switches and removable batteries are the only way forward.

You'd gain nothing. What are you going to do, remove the battery for a couple hours per day?

And then if there's any crime, the police is going to immediately suspect anyone who had the battery removed from their cell phone at the time, which they can trivially detect.
XMLHttpRequest shipped in 1999. AJAX was coined in 2005. The "A" in "AJAX" is for "asynchronous".
Your numbers just don't make sense. First, if you had a bare bones social media site, it could be ran for $1b a year. Lets use that number.

Ok, so who are you getting that money from? I mean from me that $1 is some inconsiderable fraction of my income, it's nothing. But there lies the problem with income inequality in the world. For a huge portion of people you're asking for a pretty damned considerable payment for something they can get for 'free' from somewhere else. That other ad ran company is paying off influencers and 'cool kids' to be solely on their product with their ad and VC money while charging nothing. It will grow quickly while your site founders.

The problem here is you want to develop a 'rational' and 'reasonable' product. This would be useful if humans in mass were either of those things. The world would be a much better place if people were not dumb, including myself. But here we are.
I've worked in agriculture all my life and a case like this doesn't surprise me in the least, nor does the inevitable responses in social media that infantalize farmers as dumb hicks who have to be protected from themselves. If you're responding to a buyer offering an $57,000 contract with an emoji you're not acting very professionally. This is nothing more than seller's remorse. You'd better believe that this farmer would be threatening lawsuits if the price for flax had fallen in the meantime and the buyer was the one arguing about the thumbs-up signal.
Regardless, this shouldn't have been an issue at all if the farmer had adequately hedged his position with an offsetting buy option at the sale price that would have captured any significant price movement (outside of any basis shift).

This farmer was playing loose with risk management and wanted someone to eat his $25,000 mistake (higher $82K later crop value minus original approx $57K contract value at $17/bu for 86 tonnes).

The more I think about this, the more I'm convinced that this farmer completely forgot about the sale agreement and this argument about the emoji was a post-hoc invention by his lawyer to try and weasel out of paying the terminal $82,000. This amount of flax is likely grown on about a quarter section in Saskatchewan, or 160 acres. The average grain farm size is almost 1,800 acres, so this size would be less than 10% of the total harvested area, and many farms are double and triple that size. Easy to forget about six months after the text exchange.
Isn’t the whole point of paper/pdf contract is to have an actual signature on it?
The fact that some understandings change, are clarified, or are in doubt doesn't imply there aren't provable lies. Statements can be said to be on a spectrum of provable truth to provable lie say from 2+2=4 to 2+2=17 and on a spectrum from neutral to harmful.

If I say ziptechnologies is Michael Jackson living in hiding with the mom of one of the neverland kids I'm provably lying. There is no legitimate doubt as to his death and no reason to believe that is your actual identity. If I say you are a drug dealer and invite the police to raid your home I have crossed over from neutral to harmful.

The fact that many statements can't be evaluated so simply doesn't mean there aren't obvious lines that many statements clearly cross articulable objective standards.
But if the president asks for something, you say no, and he sics the NSA or something onto you, how does this injunction protect you?

Basically this is arguing that the mere existence of government has a chilling effect, which it demonstrably does, but isn't really something you can make go away with an injunction. Hell, what's stopping the Biden admin from enacting this punishment scheme on these people for getting this injunction?
You are falsely speaking of Federal Officials as if they are not acting in a government capacity, and therefore have their freedom of speech in that capacity protected by the Constitution.

The opposite is true.

The Constitution's protection of individual citizen free speech very specifically is a restriction on the government (and its officials acting in government capacity, which is how the government speaks) from acting to limit the speech of citizens under most circumstances.

Which is exactly the case in question.

This is how Constitutional protections work. They limit the capacity of the government and its officials in order to protect the Rights of individual citizens.

Case law has long held that even the politest censorship request by the government is viewed as threat of force.

The propaganda around this issue is weak to the point of being insulting.

> (1) So the judicial branch is and is not quite the government, and (2) the government has a mnonopoly on speech even though they can't say things

On (1): yes, that's the idea behind the independent role of the judiciary. They're supposed to be quis custodiet ipsos custodes. Sometimes, it doesn't work out, but usually it does. I'll concede that there's gray area here, but not quite enough to make the argument non-coherent.

On (2): the government can definitely say things (the White House literally has a Communications Director), but also (and more importantly) both stifle and coerce speech. I'm not sure how you came to this second conclusion.
Ouuhh ! Nice catch ! Thanks for the heads up. Will fix ASAP.
I should have included the caveat that my comment was from memory.

I just did some brief research, and it seems that it was the case prior to some point in time between 2008 and 2019, but it is now hard-wired. It is discussed near the end of https://daringfireball.net/2019/02/on_covering_webcams

The engineer quoted in the article pointed out that it may be possible (at least in 2019) to briefly turn the camera on - flashing the led too quickly for someone to see.

In a lot of industries you have a company that's a price leader. If they raise prices their competitors will also raise prices to increase profits instead of trying to take away market share from the price leader. They'll do that because it's trivial to do vs the risk and logistical hassle of trying to increase production. Remember the price leader can instantly drop prices again which could put you underwater.

Are you going to continue this conversation or stop? You continue to muddy the waters and twist things and now I don't even know what the original point is.

You've continuously refused to define opinion for me and continuously refuse to put anything in your own words. You throw paragraphs of strawman at me because I'm being unclear. You throw 3 dictionary links in my face with at least 25 different definitions and can't zero in on a single one.

Back at the top you said:

> An example of "corporate opinion" off the top of my head: Facebook is in favour of advertising.

Can you first confirm you said that and you stand by the statement? If you do, explain to me how Facebook saying "we are in favour of advertising" is an opinion.

Now explain to me how "I like rain" is different and not an opinion. You told me "I like rain" is "a factual statement derived from your opinion" and not an opinion and then used that to strawman my argument.

Where I stand "I am in favour of advertising" is the exact same format and is not an opinion from YOUR definition. So how about you explain exactly what you want from me because your contradictions are confusing me.
Nobody suggested causation. The idea that you can improve code quality by adding profane comments is so self-evidently absurd that nobody would even suggest such a thing. Except you kind of just did.
Because even Zucks FB empire isn't as toxic and shittified (yet) as Twitter and Reddit have become. Plus, Zuck ate cake last year with metaverse, and FB has redeemed themselves slightly with open source ai. Elon on the other hand is an egotistical billionaire that thinks the only way he can go is up, so it's nice to see people with big egos fail, even just a little. Hopefully Spez is next.
The point of this argument is that humans as a species are not going to go extinct (we have thumbs!) and life on Earth existed for millions of years at far hotter temperatures than even the worst-case warming scenario.

None of this makes climate change a good thing, but it's a useful corrective to headlines that suggest we're entering some kind of uncharted territory for the planet. The planet can take a lot more than we're dishing out, even if individual species can't.
That line of reasoning would make sense if the have-nots in a liberal society didn't need to work just to survive. But that is not the case, is it?

Liberal society loves to characterise itself as a rigid, well-structured system in which individuals choose to make idealised rational decisions to work towards their own interests. As opposed to emotional reasoning, which is conveniently implied to be the diametrical opposite of rational thought. And I call it "convenient" because as a result can easily paint protests and strikes, as "irrational" and "despicable" actions perpetrated by "unreasonable" individuals.

However, as soon as one considers the fact that the disparity of power between people with private property and people without makes it so that the people without private property cannot afford to make decisions on a "rational vacuum". We quickly find ourselves reverting back to "what are you going to do about it? You don't work, you don't eat."

>In 2023, the way to use AES is AES-GCM. Anything else is very unlikely to make sense.

Encrypt-then-MAC remains the most conservative and theoretically secure option.

Leaving aside the (very serious) nonce reuse issue, the cracks on non-committing AEADs in general (such as AES-GCM) are already showing. Partitioning oracle attacks affect all of them: https://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/88716/understandi...

There are also other minor GCM-specific issues (weak keys etc.). None of the issues are cypher-breaking, but I wouldn't say that AES-GCM is automatically the best choice for everything.
I would say Dhalgren's not particularly difficult to read, or complex - the Kid's experience in Bellona is not comparable to Bloom's allusive and metaphore laden journey through Dublin in Ulysses. Bellona is just fucking weird.
I think its pretty obvious they went with Instagram branding, as Facebook branding has been tarnished for a while.
They definitely have existing products, knowledge and competency for building a twitter clone that could be adapted for this purpose (instagram/facebook posts & comment systems).

Whether they did or not is maybe the question?
E911 says the PSAP has to be able to get within 100m iirc
AES-256-GCM runs at well above 10 GB/s per core on semi-modern desktop/server CPUs and the 128 variant isn’t actually 40% faster iirc. I think it was like 11 vs 13 GB/s on the same hardware, not what 10-vs-14 rounds would seem to imply. Even chapoly is only around 3-4x slower.

(That’s gigabytes per second, not gigabits)
Meta had a product previously called Threads, there's lots of companies called Apple. They are billed as a slack replacement and not a twitter replacement. I'm not seeing the issue.

>or the most part, average citizens just put up with it, and power structures in most countries remain entrenched.

Exactly. No matter how bad it gets, most people either try to emigrate if they can or just put up with it if they can't, since living a poor life is better than revolting against the government and getting yourself shot or imprisoned.

I fee like revolutions and toppling governments are mostly a thing of the past, at least in the western world.
I've been using GPT4 for this since the beginning - ironically a large majority of AWS documentation has been machine generated since 2018. Circa 2019 the entire exlixir API for AWS was machine generated.
