Agree. My impression is that the anime movies are more about the philosophy of “self”, while SAC is more about sociology and politics. I like SAC slightly more than the movies, but it was the first Ghost in the Shell movie that transcended the manga to a masterpiece.

A few ideas from my perspective as a central coast citizen. Neutering the coastal commission isnt gonna getting anything built. The value of the land along the coast dictates what gets built. It is mostly privately owned and aint no one gonna put up millions to build the low income housing people think is going to happen. Second, high density buildings ... I get it, its efficient, but I, and most people I know, dont live near the coast so I can be stacked among a bunch of other people with no privacy or yard to myself. San Jose and Sacramento can build those monstrosities but not every small city in California wants or needs a dozen dozen story buildings. High density isnt the answer to NIMBYism or anything other than addressing real local needs. If it were the answer we could build soviet style tenements all up and down the 5 but we arent doing that because it isnt the answer. Finally, cars. Cars, cars, cars ... people want to drive their own personal space around and feel free to leave it sitting along the road whenever they find a destination. Higher density isnt going to allow for cars nor is rapidly expanding small cities with ADU's and townhomes. Transportation in Cali needs addressed yesterday.
You can just use it in the original way: simply look at profiles, make the occasional requested intro for someone you actually know to someone you actually know, and maintain your resume. I have ignored the drive to turn it into a social network and it pretty much works the same as it did when it started.

For example, when I have a meeting with someone I always look them up on LI first, to see if we have something in common.
> Folks were sharing what they thought worth sharing, mostly to gain more attention.

This is what influencer culture does. There’s very little value actually shared on LI nowadays, most valuable content for me comes from tech-specific groups and a lot of that is just aggregated from newsletters.
Yes Roundup will kill your whole lawn, if you apply it to your whole lawn. It will also spot-kill weeds if you apply it just to the weeds. You'll be left with a little dead patch that you can re-seed after a week or so.

I gave up on having a beautiful weed-free lawn a long time ago. The cost and time it takes to keep one is just not a good value for me. So whatever grows, grows. I mow it every couple of weeks.
Fluoride in drinking water is a kind of truly marginal level of harm that’s perfectly designed to trigger paranoid libertarians.

A tiny amount of fluoride is helpful for bones and especially teeth. Fluoridated toothpaste covers this need perfectly, but many people don’t use it. Fluoride in drinking water covers this need also but (arguably) brings along small risks of symptoms of slight excess fluoride consumption.

The amounts that are actually put in drinking water do not seem to have any significant negative effects, and it seems reasonably clear that the population positive effects dominate, but being non-consensually subjected to a marginal risk of negative effect in order to achieve a positive outcome for the population is exactly the kind of thing that reliably provokes this kind of reaction from the paranoid libertarian set.
My perception was that… at least 5+ years ago. I’m on there only if I need a job, otherwise it is dead to me. There is no content I have any interest in on there.
Microsoft's "on the record" voice is always "Azure DevOps is alive and has an active roadmap".

You can read that roadmap for yourself. It is kept in a GitHub repository. Last time I checked this year the last commit was sometime in 2020. The last group of features that loudly launched for Azure DevOps were branded "GitHub Advanced Security for Azure DevOps". (This is where I get the 2-3 years behind GitHub metric.) Microsoft's actions seem to be speaking a lot louder than their "on the record" words.

I've heard from multiple "off the record" sources who are entirely hearsay and I cannot name names that "Yes, of course Azure DevOps is dead."

The best, I can say, as mostly an outsider is that Azure DevOps is at least "undead" and definitely in some sort of zombie state. I've got an unsubstantiated feeling, again as mostly an outsider, that Microsoft is somehow superstitious about Azure DevOps' home office (Microsoft office in North Carolina was founded out of Microsoft's source control dreams) and is afraid to kill it.
The claim is nowhere near true.

MAU includes lurkers. They don't publish how many accounts actually Tweet (Xit?) in a month. I will look at Twitter once or twice a week, so I'm in that 300MAU. But I only see a few of the same people posting repeatedly.

Assuming they follow the standard social media rule, only about 40-60M of those people are Tweeting in a month, which is still a lot. And my guess is a lot of those are bot tweets.

Low weight and high aerodynamic efficiency are crucial. You naturally end up with high aspect-ratio wings which tend to be more flexible than conventional aircraft wings. In order to keep aero-elastic effects under control, multiple tailplanes can help to stabilize the structure, and provide roll control at the same time - we’re not set on this technology though, ultimately our analysis tooling will drive this design decision.

Batteries are heavy, but if you want to conduct long endurance flights - greater than a few days, then realistically they are the best option.

There still are a ton of duplicate questions. When questions get marked as duplicate they don't get merged or anything, they just lock the most recent ones (even if they are much better than the older one).

Their moderation doesn't prevent duplicate questions it just makes it more frustrating when the question you find has been marked as duplicate.
But that's a good thing. "Open this in the app" links are the worst advertising scum on the web.

IMO the effect of Twitter is not the major media traffic but the indie organizations advertising their stuff through word of mouth. Think freelance editors or smaller one-off courses on media analysis, centers for various nonprofit educations, or little events geographically local. A lot of drop-off I've noticed have been in these places, to the point where the indie/freelance folk I know have been begging folk to try and up engagement metrics now more than ever just to get seen.
Oi mate calm down, hey?

You're twisting every aspect of my post to the point of satire. I never said anything about wanting to "feel important" amongst peers and your interpretation is.. strained, at best. I'm literally just talking about career growth here.

Maybe take a deep breath and a break.
it's both. Human moderation will always be an important factor. If you want larger communities to work well you need to put a proportionate effort of human attention in to maintain it, including bottom-up from users. Bot-autocracy is bad not just because it doesn't work well but also because it makes people feel alienated.

And the design is important too. There's no followers here, no monetization, no flashy upvote count, essentially no identity with a capital I. HN and sites like it work to a large part because there's no status or financial grift involved in posting, people largely just post to communicate. The exact opposite of what Twitter is turning into.
Can someone post a link to the actual paper?
Yes, which is more or less the whole point of this argument: nobody's perfect, but people can be 'on average' good; but that's not the same as equating them with saints, it just isn't realistic (and even the saints aren't saints in terms of absolute, they are just declared to be so, by people who themselves too are very much flawed).

So let's not resort to theoretical absolutes. I don't know where 'here' is but every culture has similar idioms but at the same time every culture has something about being careful about meeting your heroes.
It's called encapsulation.
Ah thank you, I missed that in my reading of the piece. I will need to dig into the study itself to see how significant the "higher readings" are and how closely they track CKDu, I won't have time for that until later today.
I think this is flipped. VC's wouldn't compete here if the the supply was much bigger because than the price globally would dip they wouldn't have a leverage advantage. If there was no shortfall in constructions for multiple decades that VC see houses as an opportunity.

I think if we allowed house densities to increase and changed zoning laws to allow houses to be built. The cost of housing would fall significantly especially if VC saw a wave a new house they would be prompted to sell before the wave (at a lower prices) or risk significant loses.

Whether you could actually build enough houses to fix the supply inversion is another question. However, without changing zoning laws I don't see how you'd even be able to try catch supply at this point because the places where houses need to be sold prevent multi family units which are much more efficient at soaking up demand per unit than single family houses
Well said. I think HN has two qualities that make it work:

1. No need to drive engagement.
2. Heavy moderation to keep things on track.

#2 won't work without #1 because of what you said (the nature of getting engagement).

But is there some way for moderation to scale? Maybe this is where LLMs come in?

Ironically, LinkedIn should be the one experimenting with this. If they can get revenue from recruiters or job seekers, then they don't need the toxic kind of engagement.
I worked in a field where signals were a big component. Nationwide - the variety is quite real. It could be skilled labor. Some are mechanical switches still.
I think this was true a while back, but the ecosystem on Twitter is basically destroyed.

There was a period between 2010-2020 when Twitter was truly the main convergence of entertainment, media, political and financial commentators. It was the place to be seen.

It doesn't seem to really exist anymore. These different verticals have been scattered all throughout the internet. It is an increasingly small number of people who simply hang around there for the little dopamine hit they get when they see the notification.

Most political and corporate communications strategies have diversified away from Twitter because it is a sinking ship. This started before Elon took the helm, but he has certainly accelerated its demise. Increasingly, it is a reputational risk to even be on the platform anymore.
_maybe_ it makes a difference within the first few hours of training, but once one is able to land consistently the difference is negligible. The minor differences between different planes in general is far more noticeable than just high vs low (and "in general" most small planes land very similarly anyway)

The big reason for high wing bush planes is for ground clearance, and to avoid damage from debris kicked up by the wheels.
Has anyone else noticed that their connection count stays 'correct' but a significant number of people that I used to be connected to now are surfaced as recommendations for me to connect with? It's absurd! I doubt people regularly go through their networks and unconnect from people that they don't want to keep in touch with, kind of defeats the purpose. So wth?

> Faith is the (a) recognition that we're limited beings whose perception and thinking are ultimately inadequate to understand objective reality and (b) a set of beliefs you take on for dealing with that unknowable space.

This is fine, until you use those beliefs to rationalize made-up explanations for things where there otherwise exist rational explanations! Mostly this happens when those rational explanations cause trouble for other deeply-rooted "beliefs." (I would call it zealotry at the dinner table, but I'm being nice!)

For example, the people in the US who deny much of science because of young-earth creationist beliefs.

Twitter has been doing this since long before Musk. The mechanism is opaque because they barely admit to it even happening much less how it works, so we don't even know if it's humans making the decisions or algorithms.

The real test is if Musk will get it to stop doing that. How long does that take in a large bureaucracy full of legacy code and potentially hostile employees? Plausibly longer than he's controlled the company.

> Long term conversions isn't something media outlets can bank on on Twitter.

Long-term conversions don't need the platform to like you tomorrow. That's what makes them long-term. Once they know you exist they keep coming back to your own service.
Though now there's `SA_RESTART`, so Unix ended up doing the "right thing" eventually.

There's a lesson here, I think: "worse is better" is good advice when it lets you ship and get software into the hands of customers quicker, but it doesn't change the fact that you should do the "right thing" at some point.
Depends on the topic. If you're trying to prove (or, more accurately, fail to falsify) a certain set of results or a discovery, open data plus reproducibility should be the gold standard.

If you're trying to make decisions about personal health, it pays to take a cautious approach (IMO) and let people decide for themselves. It is not inconceivable that commercial entities finance "peer-reviewed research" in order to support public health policies.

When I was a kid, we went through some town in the midwest when we were on vacation. They had no speed limits - just signs that said that the traffic lights were synchronized for 25 MPH. Once you figured out that they were telling the truth, you drove 25.

So you can get more efficient traffic flow and eliminate speeding (if you've got a perfect grid system).

Light timing created during the summer may be far less ideal or even dangerous for the same area during winter. Likewise, pedestrian interactions are not identical throughout the year and may be impacted by these timings. Drivers build expectations of how intersections, particularly ones near their home, tend to operate, so season or situation specific timing may actually create accidents around the change boundaries.

This is a problem that you can easily over optimize for and one that is difficult to measure the "full system" impacts of.

When you talk about "moral" you're implying a personal system of beliefs. Putting your ideas of right and wrong aside for a moment, do you think your life would be improved if there was less crime, fewer homeless, safer neighborhoods, etc? The idea of supporting poor people by those of us with a little more money is not only advocated by most major religions, it's actually an effective strategy for improving the general quality of life. If there are fewer desperate people in the world, who knows in what ways things might improve?

In my home country, there was a stunt where a person used a carrier pidgeon with a usb drive to race a local ISP transferring a file.

It got me thinking about strange units. Like how for example a car's mileage can be thought of as a surface area (distance per volume), or in this case how for every pidgeon speed, drive capacity and length there is an equivalent bandwidth capacity * (distance / (distance / time)).
