Doesn't make sense to me. I believe that IBM has found the forced upgrade path for hardware/software like Apple has perfected. You may not be able to run old versions of IBM's software and still have it be supported by them. Same for the hardware. I don't think you would commonly find and old mainframe (the hardware) in operation. At the last place I worked that had mainframes, they would upgrade to new models every 2-3 years.
He WANTS the attention and being controversial, it worked with him in other companies and he’s trying to apply the same for twitter, you have side that are a die-hard fans that doesn’t see a problem to implant his chip in their minds yet they refused a medical injection under the claim it had a nanochip, on the other side, you have people hate his guts for ruining their safe space discussion platform. My personal take, he is a con and he knows what he’s doing, so let it be, it might shake the industry to something better (say ATproto or activitypub or something else) as usually these events are what drive innovation, or it might destroy the industry marking the end of such technological progress, who knows, grab your popcorn and enjoy the (shit)show!
Depends on your definition of "doing those things". He led the companies that achieved those things. Tesla's case is more complicated than SpaceX's but in both cases he was at the top in a crucial moment.

Here is one article from today's Financial Times by famous Israeli author Harari, "Israeli democracy is fighting for its life" [1]

I assume the author's alternative to null is to punt nullable values into their own table, where the presence of the row tells you that the value is in fact there. Thing is, if your table has three such columns then you're going to need three extra tables. The whole argument is reminiscent of the polemic against surrogate keys, viz that they are a violation of Codd. No-one is arguing that nulls in SQL aren't a mess, but an RDBMS is a tool, not a holy shrine, and most of us prefer to just use bloody things to get work done and ignore the purist bikeshedding.
And even if you think the Twitter social graph is the right social graph for it, it seems unlikely that the best way of converting it into a ubiquitous payment platform is to make a lot of noise about most of its user base being bots, relaunch the "verification" feature as something which has nothing to do with verification, wade into populist politics, and slash its employee base whilst panning the quality of its tech platform.
My experience has tended to be the other way round. I’ve filed quite a few bugs in Firefox over the years, and a handful in Chromium. Filtering to similar sorts of reports (since many of my Firefox reports are using-the-browser related, and often dealing with regressions since I’ve used Nightly for ~11 of the last 13 years, whereas my Chromium reports have only ever been for things like rendering errors), most of my Firefox reports have been dealt with fairly promptly (though some linger), whereas in Chromium I don’t think I’ve ever had prompt action after initial triage—a couple have been fixed incidentally two or more years later due to replacement of a large component, but I think that’s it.

(My experience is almost all more than two years old. Haven’t needed to file much in the last couple of years.)
My two cents: no. A nice cinema double feature won't save us from the movie industry. What will save us are classic theatres. I saw both movies at the Grand Lake Theatre in Oakland. It's a gorgeous classic theatre with really rich decorations, low prices, and movies start on time! Going to a mall movie theater is like an amusement park, everything is designed to extract as much of your attention and money as possible. The classic theatre treated me like a person.
Lovely!

The downfall of Twitter has really left a gaping hole in the market for clones and big companies to fill:

- mastodon and fediverse

- threads by IG/FB/Meta

- blue sky

- TT with txt posts
If you can't tell the difference, I think that says more about you than it does about the text. And I'm definitely not going to try to bring you up to date on centuries of the humanities, or even the decades of cognitive science research. If you'd like to know, perhaps start with a book or two? "The Mind's I", "Kinds of Minds", and "Architects of Intelligence" are accessible places to start.
>My understanding is there is legislation being enacted which strips power from elected or appointed groups and places that power with the executive.

Who elected the Supreme Court in Israel? Nobody. The power will now lie in the hands of the legislature, which is the definition of democracy.
LMAO no. Everyone has this idea, and if it were allowed, who wouldn't do it? The way that financial aid works (albeit this is based on a few years ago), it's very very hard to get out from under your parents. It's so extreme that it hurts people.

It's not that unusual to find wealthy parents that refuse to help their children at all, even though they didn't do anything, and are fine people. I'm a bit unsympathetic to OP, but the young adults that have literally nothing thanks to the whim of some asshole... that's really tough, and a flaw in the system.

Anyway, there are rare cases, I believe, but the government makes this very difficult. If you grew up in a normal household, live an ordinary life, but your parents refuse to pay, you're out of luck. You will struggle to get this even if you're estranged from extremely abusive parents.
Motorola is just one of many vendors. The Issues discussed are rooted in the standard, not Motorola's implementation.
Changing Twitter to X has obviously been part of the plan with Musk from the start, sure.

But rushing it out in the past couple of days was absolutely an impulse Musk-only or Musk+1 decision, like many recent Twitter changes. Especially given what we've heard from staff at Twitter so far.

And, of course, given the fact that so little on the site was actually updated and Musk has already talked about not even thinking about things like retweets yet.
You mean they voted unanimously to _sell_ it for the (high) price Elon offered (and tried to back out of), right?

The 'vote' was for money, not for any sort of trust in Elon's leadership

I didn't follow this too closely so I really have no idea if internally the Twitter directors thought this was going to be good or if it was a 'dump it on the billionaire' thing

What I mean with my original post above is that Twitter is such a recognizable brand it must be worth multiple millions of dollars - to throw it away for the most bland and un-googleable thing "X" is... hard to understand
We demanded more performance and we got what we demanded. I doubt manufacturers are going to walk back on branch prediction no matter how flawed it is. They'll add some more mitigations and features which will be broken-on-arrival.

It's not like TikTok is behind Threads in any of the relevant metrics right now.

You could say "X Æ A-12" as a child's name was pretty original
* x in premium products is often associated for ‘exclusive’

* tesla’s cars were S, X , 3, and Y, for that motivation in particular

* x is a bit of a weird letter in the english language, not super common

* x from algebraic notation
Capitalism needs growth. Growth needs constant new demand.

Generating overpriced intangible goods, the only value of which is novelty is almost necessary in capitalism to keep some form of constant demand. The alternative is continuously. burning something, like we do with oil.

I wonder how we are going to keep all that money in circulation, once we do not need a trillion dollar industry of entertainment anymore.

> and were carried out by people who had spent a great deal of time in academia.

Right. Who then promptly left academia when they needed to start doing R&D at a meaningful and consequential scale.

The academic contribution to chip fab R&D today is nearly inconsequential compared to private sector investment, both in raw dollar amounts and especially in terms of impact per dollar spent.

This is like saying that academia is responsible for Google because its founders spent a couple years on an NSF grant. Yes -- but then they left to do the real R&D work at scale.

Academia plays and important role in training people. But the R&D component is -- with some exceptions -- mostly a matter of "training young people for the real work by messing around on toy problems".
The issue was about bait titles. Following links, reading the content (usually partially) and squaring the title with what you can summarize, is an effort.

"You Don't Know Jack about Application Performance" has very little information. Is this the title of a talk or blogpost? What runtime is it targeting? Is it because of containerization or hardware issues? Is this about statistics? This is a low quality title. If HN were full of low quality titles, the negative impact of having to weigh through the chaff would be more obvious. Better to just be vigilant and call it out when you see it.
In the case of the VM won't registers be wiped when entering/exiting the VM?
Agreed. Musk has been talking about this for a long time, if you’ve followed him at all.
This is the best explanation of Elon's mindset that I have seen.
Exactly - you beat me to it. Looker is the canonical example. I think folks would be up for a rude awakening if they really understood how many companies use Looker (or similar advanced analytics apps -- Sisense, ThoughtSpot, etc.) and how directly they connect to DBs.

That's just it. It is coercion all the way down. The state did not invent coercion. It's just one way of managing it.

If one wants to present an alternative, it's incumbent to provide something more concrete than declaring it "requires complex resistance, continual struggle, with no easy resolution, no comforting collusion". Democracy is, famously, the worst system, except for all the others.

The author claims to "dare to see beyond the suffocating language of power", but I'm not really seeing much "beyond". I'm seeing a not-inaccurate (albeit hyperbolic) criticism of the theory of the state, but without seeming to understand the history of how we got here or providing any deep thoughts into the alternative.
As a blogger, would you consider that approach to produce content? Don’t you find it incredibly boring and uninspiring?
"AI will become addictive. It knows what you like. It knows what everyone likes."

There is already experience fatigue caused in part by overpersonalizing. humans crave novelty. We don't want the same things all of the time. We can't even come up with a rational explanation for why we want them. To think humans will never get tired of algorithms predicting what they want is laughably naive.
So? Is it incorrect anywhere else, because that'd be an indicator that it's wrong here. Otherwise your unfavorable opinion of it is meaningless to the discussion.
He also laid off a bunch of people pretty haphazardly and introduced paying for brand integrity.

Here is the full text.

Regexps aren't even Turing complete as far as I know, if whatever they have in their paper works for arbitrary programs it would be shocking. I'll give it a read.

*Edit*: The algorithm in the paper is a DP like algorithm for building regexes. They use a matrix, and it has all the potential strings to be checked on one axis, and all the potential regex programs on the other axis, and in-between values (the actual matrix values) are booleans saying whether the string matches the program. The algorithm builds the matrix iteratively.

I haven't understood how regex evaluation is done, probably directly, but obviously this algorithm is only for checking whether a particular regex program matches an output rather than general purpose synthesis.

We'll have to wait for AI chips to really scale genetic programming, GPUs won't cut it.
This looks a lot like the X Windows logo from MIT/Project Athena. Am I the only one that's seeing this?
It's ontologically impossible for matrix multiplication and non-linear transforms to have emotions. So I'm not sure where he's coming from.

That is not correct. LLMs have no inventory of their input datasets. If you give it a billion reviews recommending Malbec, it does not know that many reviews recommend Malbec. It simply has a very good comprehension of what a Malbec review looks like.

In order to know that many reviews recommend Malbec, it needs to be taught this fact specifically, or infer it from context.
I personally get both sides; at least the JP branch of Twitter was messing a lot with trends and pushing weird left-wing extremisms. That stopped because JP branch stopped existing. On the other hand, he's started running ethnic cleansing on the platform, so yeah it's what you said as well.
This is not US-specific, you get the same thing (insurance on purchases, perks for spending money, credit rating) in the EU, just to a much smaller degree.

Credit cards also have some benefits in the case of theft over debit cards, because of how they work.
Twitter was the only platform I could tell our public health director they were doing way more damage with their insane covid mandates than good. I even got replies from the dude. There isn't any other platform out there where you can do this.

So while Twitter is indeed a toxic hellhole, it is oftentimes the only way you can directly attempt to communicate with "the right people" in an organization.
A decent amount of TikTok "videos" are just computer generated voices reading screenshots of funny tweets and reddit comments.

I think there's probably a way that text can be built into the app that works alongside what's there and makes it a more interesting experience than just looking at screenshots.
I assume it also has a connection to how algebraic data types are written in OCaml. For example, the equivalent of Haskell's `Maybe` and Rust's `Option` is

type 'a option = None | Some of 'a

So calling this project "WASM of OCaml" is one way of saying that it "wraps" OCaml code in WASM.
I agree the verification process was flawed. It was supposed to be "this person is who they seem to be", and it became also a symbol of prestige. That needed to be addressed, likely by being a bit more available (though I don't think available to all is the right move), and also by just suspending/banning anyone who broke rules badly enough to get their badge taken away. But blasting the doors open and removing a symbol of trust is a pretty clear example of throwing out the baby with the bath water. And I agree more explicit tags are also good, but they became necessary because Elon nuked the previous system. A few gentle changes could have addressed all the problems.

The kind of toxicity and algorithmic pushing of content on Twitter isn't quite like other platforms. Users are regularly exposed to content from deliberately inflammatory users. Your timeline can be filled with retweets, suggested content, or replies to accounts you don't follow by accounts you do. Adding a monetary reward for being inflammatory before addressing the toxicity is the problem. Adding revenue share to Twitter is like throwing money into a mosh pit; it wasn't done thoughtfully enough to not make things worse.

If Musk wanted to expand revenue share, he could have done it in thoughtful ways. Expanding the subscriptions feature would have been a good start.
Journalists get mad about, say, Google changes and initiatives all the time. Twitter is one of the most influential and important websites in their field, and a hot topic all around (which is Musk's intention!) so of course they're going to scrutinize and report on it.

You just don't happen to see impulsive large changes like this with traditional tech companies very often. The Alphabet change springs to mind, but that seemed to have a lot more prep put into it, hence it was probably a bit harder to find interesting factoids or issues about it.
Not cultivating is cultivating? That sounds like a tautology and doesn't agree with the OP.
While I agree this is potentially an issue, most people with most devices won't be away from the internet for years. If you want it to be apocalypse proof for when the internet goes down you should probably get a paper map.
That's because its inordinately expensive to prove that a motive contributed directly so we resort to heuristics.

This asymmetry is well understood and exploited for disinformation purposes (though there's often some collateral damage inflicted on nuanced sources, as you mention).

One of the books that I've come across that gets into the development process of the gospels is:

Lost Christianities: The Battles for Scripture and the Faiths We Never Knew

According to that book, there was a fair bit of religious conflict between the gonastic branch and the proto-orthordox (and some others too) with gospels and edits that attempt to discredit the other sects or build up their own narrative that is in agreement with their faith.
That's on screen readers developers. And I don't know when that comment you seem to remember dates back to, but I have had several blind students in my math lectures over the past decade. They seemed did fine.

Of course it does. The attacker just has to steal your token and pin. Because it's unique (well it should be if you generated the key on token as you should have) it's not possible to do so without the target's knowledge. But you can still decypher all past intercepts with it.

Also, some types of tokens like the original openpgp card don't have touch to sign functionality. So it's possible to 'milk' them for decrypts though the gpg agent. This is why I only use Yubikeys now that do have this functionality (though by default it's off!)
> Not sure if you read the history section of the wikipedia article but it was intentional:

you're mis-reading the history there. Water was diverted into the area to use as irrigation for farming, at this point there was no sea nor was anything on that scale intended.

It wasn't until the heavy rains and unintentional diversion of the Colorado that the sea formed.
Looking past the Elon hilarity, I'm all for moonshots, a bold move investing in the next big thing.

Trying to transform Twitter into WeChat for the west seems unlikely, to say the least, but has nothing to do with this announcement. They just both have X in their names because I guess Elon likes the letter.
Most police traffic isn’t secret and these radios replaced fully open radios that were commonly deployed just about everywhere.

The bigger security threat is that police will often have actual sensitive conversations on personal cellular devices and SMS.

This is just another example of the good old boys network of public safety gear selling bullshit products.
> At what point does the complexity of CPU architectures become so difficult to reason about that we just accept the performance penalty of keeping it simpler?

Never for branch prediction. It just gets you too much performance. If it becomes too much of a problem, the solution is greater isolation of workloads.
It works if you have multiple roundabouts in succession.

This place looks like it’s a roundabout downhill from a straight bridge, so plenty of room to speed. Probably should narrow the bridge.
I always felt that calling this a “moonshot factory” was foolishly overblown. Just like you don’t generalise your code until you have at least two instances to work from, show us two successful “moonshots” before you even start thinking about a “factory”.
