What does it even mean to "solve moderation"?

Moderation is one problem of gray area, there is never a clear line between what is acceptable content and what isn't. Not only is the community and their opinion on what's acceptable changing, the moderation rules are a moving target and at scale you inevitably have government pressure to moderate certain content that the government doesn't approve of.

From every attempt I've seen tried over the years in tech, moderation is a losing battle and the main reason building large platforms for user-generated content is such a nightmare.
Could anyone read this? I got page covering pop ups and couldn’t navigate away. It was “scanning my device for viruses”.
Sigh
Couldn't agree more.
To give an example, to go beyond a simple "generic" search.

I have a company finding buyers for commercial real estate. One of the search features are the locations of the buyers (usually family offices etc, always companies they have headquarters, preferences on where to buy etc.). You can then for example calculate the distance to those locations.

LLMs are extremely useful in creating these features from unstructured info on the companies. But just throwing an embedding on this and hoping it works doesn't.

However, embeddings work super well in the parts of the search.
> The documents, dated between 2016 and 2022, include repair reports from Tesla service centers globally; analyses and data reviews by engineers on parts with high failure rates; and memos sent to technicians globally, instructing them to tell consumers that broken parts on their cars were not faulty.

This kind of behaviour should be severely penalized by regulatory agencies. Lying to customers is just as bad as lying to investors, and only the latter is punished at the moment - and customers were out massive amounts of their own money to get their cars fixed (or in insurance premium hikes) in addition to the money they all spent, which is an even worse state than an investor is.

It's bad enough that companies are allowed to grow so large and dysfunctional that they can legitimately claim "there was no central awareness about <issue>", but what Tesla did here is IMHO intentional fraud. They knew about the issues, knew that they should be liable, but shifted the blame and bills to customers to avoid having issues on their financial statements. And FFS Tesla should be fined for that deceiving tactics by the SEC as well, because the trick of not admitting the risk on their books worked out in the end.
It's reasonable and "professional" to want dynamically typed scripting language, for things where real types are a burden not a benefit, which also has libraries that work properly.

For me, that's the benefit of typing in python (as shonky as it is) -- you can use it to help write better library code, then ignore the types (except as accurate documentation) when using those libraries.

Maybe there are other languages that can do this, but the ones i know all have their own downsides.
"Why else would they have it, and why else would those that do not have go without?"

I already told you - the people working to get it later are included in the group. It's not just old people.

"Voters skew older, and providing healthcare to the poor at least equivalent to Medicare is not a priority."

It's not a priority because the poor are a small voting segment. The voting segment concerned with Medicare include the elderly and those who are working and thinking about their future retirement, which is a huge segment.

"Medicare premiums get more and more means tested every year."

That's not exactly means-tested. You get Medicare if your old enough, then yes you have premiums and deductibles since this is insurance after all. You even have contribution requirements for things like part A. The permium cost can vary based on income, but that doesn't affect the actual coverage or eligibility.

Yeah, money is fungible. The laws are pretty clear on the funding sources and amounts for the entitlement programs, unlike with welfare programs that are more open-ended and less predictable.

Bend points are not means testing. You get your benefits regardless of your situation. The insurance just pays out based on a formula to adjust to cover the more basic expenses. You can see this intent in the way the formula for payouts is designed as a replacing percent of income as well as in the tax cap.

Stuff like Medicare and Social Security are not welfare programs that are means tested. The costs and benefits can vary based on contributions and income but you are entitled to the benefit. These programs are not powerful just because of the old people. The workers expecting these benefits in the future are a huge source of the political power. It's the money and the fact that people have been paying in with an expecting of benefits that's the difference.

Sorry, I am not reading articles with fallacious headlines.
I'm pretty sure that php has also explicitly broken backwards compatibility to achieve this. In general php has become far more strict over the years, which I think is a good thing. And they definitely at least sat down and thought about how to do types before adding grammar rules that allowed any random expression as the type, which is now the case in python.
When I start working with images (screenshots) then I start dreading Obsidian - I wish they would just become references on the documents, and would show in a little galery etc.

I watched the 'insurrection' live on tv. Trump had a peaceful speech before the event and there is now absolute proof that the police allowed many of these people to enter the capitol building.

Trump is allowed to dispute the results of the election and went the legal route of going to court (and stepped down from office willingly). The interesting thing is that of the small percentage of cases that went in front of a judge, Trump won the vast majority of them.

This is bullshit. If Trump is going to be blamed for his followers actions, the current administration should all be in prison for pushing people to riot in the summer of 2020 and doing nothing about it (Kamala Harris bailed many of the people out with her own money and 50 people died..much more than this 'insurrection'). This won't happen, because it has nothing to do with Democracy or rule of law..but lording power over political enemies you despise.
Just a guess but I'd say "this point" is some time after real signs of understanding and intelligence are displayed.

I have always found it funny how there's a game format that requires you to buy new cards to play it. Though I doubt they invented it, it really works out for those selling the cards.

I'm sure there's a guide out there somewhere for repacking cards you already own though. Hopefully one that doesn't need one person to do it and not play because they know which cards are included.

There is, in my opinion, very little value in a type system that allows types to just be ignored. Or even a negative value, because it instills a false sense of security, because it does not actually prevent any of the mistakes that a type system is supposed to prevent.

> We’re mostly talking at cross purposes here.

I don't think we are, I just disagree with you. I think you're trying to downplay what's happening in the UK and act as though it's completely normal and common in other similar countries. It isn't.

> None of this has to do with tweets specifically.

Sure, it's general to online social media, but tweets are the main thing people are getting arrested for.

> The UK is no different in this respect from most other countries that aren’t the US.

And I've specifically outlined why I disagree with this.

> You keep judging things by what you happen to have read in the news rather than actively looking for examples.

Because people getting arrested for making tweets in the UK keeps making the news. There's a reason it doesn't make the news as much from other non-US countries - it isn't happening as often or as egregiously.

> This is leading you to make some inaccurate assumptions (such as e.g. that you can't be arrested in the UK for what you say in a park on a soapbox)

I'm not making any inaccurate assumptions, I'm sticking to cold hard facts. I didn't say you can't be arrested for saying something on a soapbox in the UK, I'm saying if the people who got arrested for their tweets said it from a soapbox they wouldn't have. Twitter was being treated differently.

> Here are some relevant Google queries:

And none of them return cases as egregiously as those in the UK. Again, in the UK what is being considered hate speech is far more general than other countries.

Just to reinforce my point again, free speech in the UK is likely the lowest of any first world country. People were arrested just for protesting the new king, not being violent, no hate speech, nothing. Think about that before you come back so quick to defend the crown.
What is obvious is how many people choose to discredit every post I make on this platform with the strategy of a grade school bully.

I think older BMWs (with only iDrive and no touchscreen) and current Mazdas have the most ergonomic and easy to use head unit setup. Since there is no touchscreen the headunit is just below the windscreen (easy to glance at while keeping road in peripheral vision). The knob has 6 inputs (4-axis tilt and rotation) and you get additional buttons around the knob. The knob also works in carplay (rotation changes focus, tilt does stuff like moving the map) and I bet after a few hours you'd be faster and more accurate than on a touchscreen with that. The only thing I always wish for is to get CarPlay navigation into the OEM HUD/instrument screen.

> on a nice snappy capacitive display UI.

Heh, until very recently a lot of manufacturers' infotainment was comically unresponsive, VW being a standout there (along with the worst-in-class screens).

I wouldnt be opposed to have an option of touchscreen control (current BMWs have that), except that touchscreens are neccesarily placed so low that you have to take your eyes almost fully off the road.

I have an old iPad Mini (2nd or 3rd gen, can’t remember) that would make a perfect controller for my Sonos speakers. Its hardware is more than capable enough. Except the Sonos app requires a version of iOS that this iPad can’t run. Sometimes backward compatibility is wonderful.

It's impressively immersive, but at least when I tried it, not something I would categorize as an absolute blast. The PvP aspect seemed to take a back seat to creating a beautiful and expansive spaceflight simulator. (Which it is!) Mining resources and transporting goods just seem like excuses to fly around and can become tedious. Exploration felt repetitive, too, though I can hardly imagine the excitement of the first player to have an alien encounter.
Reread what I said.
I’m just shitting on the religion, not the project.
That seems like a ridiculous attitude. Surely players should want all cards to be as cheap as possible, so everyone can play whatever deck they’d like.
I've had to work on a PHP project recently and it's horrible. Mypy has many pitfalls and it's not great, but at least it's entirely optional, so you can work around the issues or ignore some types until you can fix it or do some refactoring. Typescript might be a different language but it's the best implementation of adding types to a language I've seen so far.
Most documentation is not worth reading. It’s reference material to be reviewed on-demand. The “introductory” section that gives an overview is often useful, though.

But that leads to the other problem: knowledge is not intelligence. You’ve studied some Python module but never learned that you ought to use a different one instead.

> Can you write a poem in biblical style praising an aubergine?

In the beginning, there was the aubergine,
A fruit of the vine, a treasure so fine,
In the realm of the earth, it stood tall and proud,
A testament to the heavens, a voice so loud.

Bearing the mark of the Creator's hand,
A symbol of life, a promise so grand,
The aubergine held the secrets of the soil,
A repository of wisdom, a gem so precious and royal.

Her skin, a tapestry of midnight hue,
A dance of shadows, a harmony so true,
In her heart, a gemstone of emerald green,
A symphony of flavors, a divine sovereign.

Thank you for the feedback; it means a lot to me. As you mentioned, Medium/Substack is indeed my ultimate target. But for now, my focus is on ensuring the service is stable and feature-rich. Regarding the pricing, I agree that it may have been a bit overpriced compared to the current feature set. I've just reduced the Pro plan to $19 per month and the Enterprise plan from $199 to $99. I intend to maintain this pricing for early adopters while continuing to add more features, hope it makes sense.
Obsidian has raised the bar so high that any Note-Taking app that flaunts its security, privacy, or encryption must first answer the question - what “x” times is it better?

Obsidian works on top of your existing or new notes and knows how to deal with them without chewing them up in an App -- even if they are encrypted. If you are playing on that theme, you are trying to be another Evernote “but better.”

Many other Note-Taking apps succeed by focusing on other areas of Note-Taking, such as better team collaboration, 10x better UX than the competitors, database-ish capabilities, etc.

One has to be far better than Obsidian (and their counterparts) or focus elsewhere to compete. Also, it is tough to beat FREE, but it is excellent that you want to pay.

This is more from a personal angle. For work, I still want to use something the team is happy using, but I will still look for something that I can export out and answer YES to my question, “Can I walk out when I need to?”

> Python doesn’t care about types at runtime

This should say "Python doesn't care about type annotations at runtime."

Python _does_ care about types at runtime - but it doesn't use type annotations to compute them.

That doesn't detract from what's otherwise a really clear and helpful post. Python is living through a schizophrenic period in its evolution, and it's causing some problems. I hope it gets ironed out, though don't underestimate the difficulty. Python remains my go-to for many problems: a joy to use (for me) in many cases. But I definitely feel the need for static typing as codebase size increases. Having type annotations is good, but not being able to rely on them (i.e. static typing is not sound) adds to cognitive load and detracts from a confident development experience.
Plenty of communist experiments ran unimpeded (a few are even running right now) and they pretty much all had the same predictable miserable ends.

> I can use an Apple format to send HDR images to my friends and relatives with Apple devices.

Switch your iPhone to use "high compatibility" or something like that and it'll spit out jpegs with hdr gainmaps that chrome and Android understand as well now. It's not the Adobe spec, but given Apple is now publicly talking about gainmaps ( https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/images_and_... ) and the Adobe spec is a superset of capabilities with a patent-free license and an ISO draft proposal it doesn't seem unimaginable that Apple will move it.

But if Apple won't ever support it, that doesn't mean iPhones can't view it. You already can today with the latest version of Lightroom. And of course Chrome on MacOS already lets you view them. Apple's iOS browser monopoly is hurting you here, but that's very obviously an exclusively Apple created problem

Ah, lol. You could’ve argued that Tesla was the best EV some years ago (not any car, mind you, just EV). But now? Since automakers who actually know how to make reliable cars have caught up on the EV part, that’s a pretty ridiculous claim.
This is not quite right. They did not see AI coming, but Nvidia invested in „compute“ very early on. The current market value is a result of two decades of continually pursuing that vision and executing competently.

Most are still years behind Tesla on the range or software quality part. Ask any Volkswagen owner, their software has gone to shit.

On top of that they're rare in numbers. Tesla makes more cars in a quarter than BMW in a year, and it's obvious that the focus of the "classic" ICE car industry still lies on huge, gas guzzling, high-margin SUVs.
