I see much more right wing content boosted by the algorithm now, and the paid checkmarks ensures every tweet's replies have low quality and bot replies filtered to the top.

The bot problem is also infinitely worse now, I rarely post anything so I have about two dozen legitimate followers, mostly people I know, and then I have a few hundred obvious bot account followers.
I thought X/Twitter had stopped paying rent in SF.. so maybe this is related to that?

I have a feeling you're including suicide in "gun violence" here which doesn't really make sense (suicide isn't violence regardless of your feelings about guns generally). I would also expect suicide by gun to be disproportionately higher in rural areas but I can't exactly articulate why I think that.

Most non-suicide gun violence is gang related and you're going to have a tough time convincing anyone there's more gang activity in rural Nebraska than there is in inner city Chicago.
No. If it were free you'd be able to use it as a programming API. It's not free and it's not unlimited - it's a time-limited marketing tool.

Why is the title of the HN post changed to read "Twitter", when the linked article title states correctly "X", and is otherwise identical?

This is too light on details to determine if there's anything interesting here. Similar to others, these are my main concerns:

* Is this an open protocol?

* I would like to see a detailed comparison to similar solutions

* Looks like it's TCP so head-of-line blocking may cause performance issues.

* What prevents entities from detecting that all your traffic is going to a single endpoint, or just blocking known VPN servers directly?
Sure, you don't always get everything you want. That's part of life.

But actively seeking or allowing things that make you feel genuinely bad? That's a bit messed up, TBH.

... and telling others to do so? Well :-/
Good question! The main difference is how access is managed. Instead of configuring ACLs, you define policies which are a 1:1 mapping between a user group (manually created or synced from your IdP) and the resource you want to allow access for. Another difference is how our load balancing / failover system works - it's automatic across all the Gateways in a particular Site.

Really curious at what point making factual claims about content on a website and then those factual claims forming the basis for a boycott/ending ad spend becomes illegal collusion. If a cartel of companies says "let's drive this ad service out of business" that seems plainly to be a trust enforcement issue.

But the issue here is twitter made a bunch of business decisions that made brands feel like continued advertising on the platform would damage their brands. So is a mass exodus of clients following a bunch of moderation decisions that allow repulsive content back on the site a trust enforcement issue? I think plainly not.

One of the things that's often lost in these debates is how the current open-source company structure encourages keeping the core open source as an unusable mess.

If a company comes and gives away its core product (Nginx, Hadoop, etc.), at some point, there's a need for $$ by the developers of that core software. The core product doesn't make revenue. So, the company has to create additional software for its revenue stream.

From then on, the developers of the core open-source project are incentivized to keep a dual class of solutions. That is, the developer's livelihood depends on no one making the core open source so easy to use that the additional software stops paying the bills.

A time-bound open-source clause ensures that everyone wants the best software. Yes, it means that users have less freedom than open-source users for a while. I think that's a great long-term trade-off for the users and the developers.
I've read 'Vuile Jatten, Schone handen'(Dirty thefts, clean hands), a dutch book where a criminal (thief, conman, insurance fraud arsonist,...) tells parts of his life story. The author/criminal is a smart and complicated men, with plenty of talents. The book proves a lot of creativity and human insight in him.

Of course, the author is the worst person to trust as reliable narrator and I hope to never meet him. Even so, he made me see the criminal life in a new light.

BTW if anyone knows more of these , I'd love to read them.

You can't even get "dumb" panels of the same quality. They're all built to be used as digital signage, so they usually skip consumer-oriented features like HDR, VRR, eARC, even 4k can be rare. I'm not sure there are any OLED options.
>Google's argument at trial was something like, "Everyone agrees Google search is the best and that's why they use it exclusively."

Hence the logical question is: why is Google collectively paying billions of dollars to Apple and Mozilla if they are so sure they have the best search engine in the industry? I think they know that they do not have the best search engine possible and they just want to control the whole distribution channel both vertically and horizontally. Imo, long story short; Google is house of cards built of Google Search, Google Chrome and Android and if you take one card out the whole structure would collapse. They came to realize by observing Microsoft that if you control distribution channels, you control the end product and I think their weakest link is Chrome. So anyone who can create better internet browser than Google's Chrome can disrupt Google's dominion over the Web.

The tinfoil-hat-wearing part of my brain is saying there's a button these companies push to ensure that "ordinary people" get locked out of trade opportunities arising from such volatility.

It's certainly more likely it's unusual load knocking the services down. ("Never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence.")
This sounds more like a press release for a company than a technical overview of the protocol. Is there a reference implementation available?
Well, there are more than 100 cities in China with over 1 million people:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_in_China_by_pop...

From the perspective, I would think a city of 800k is definitely midsized if you compare with China.

I'm from Brazil, and we would definitely say 1 million people is a midsized city there (I don't live there anymore). For example, have you ever heard of Campinas? Well, it has a population of over 1.2 million people, and everyone I know around the area call it a midsized city.

But no, no one in their right mind would say a 1 million people city is a village :D.
Stress Affects Our Learning Abilities in Incidents (and What to Do About It)
When we experience a stressful event, the amygdala, an area of the brain that contributes to emotional processing, sends a distress signal to the hypothalamus. This area of the brain functions like a command centre, communicating with the rest of the body to energize our fight-or-flight response. When this happens the part of the brain that is responsible for reasoning shuts down.

Those familiar with the work of Daniel Kahneman (2012) might recognize this as a System 1 takeover of System 2 (those not familiar can refer to this summary by Loo (2024). Essentially, the brain’s fast, automatic response system is preventing us from entering the slow, effortful, and logical thinking mode required to solve more complicated problems. This temporary loss of cognitive control can be bad news in situations where there isn’t a clearcut solution or procedure to follow and we need to harness System 2’s learning capabilities.

Fortunately there are many things we can do to get better at managing stress in difficult situations and ensure people are able to learn effectively. This blog post breaks a variety of research on this subject into 8 practical tips.

I do wonder if one could learn enough of the law to cheaply defend themselves against bogus DMCA notices.

This is a very funny comment. Small rural villages in China do not have 61 story buildings.

Non-major cities do, but not “small rural villages”.
>Reached for comment, CrowdStrike confirmed that the takedown notice probably never should have been sent to Senk

yea, right. They got caught and said "oops, sorry". Too bad Senk cannot charge them for the cost of moving his site elsewhere.
One thing that they kind gloss over is that rotoscoping is used a lot in films to separate objects.

For example, I did an exam on prince caspian (https://eu.southcoasttoday.com/story/entertainment/local/200...) to separate his hair from the forest. They didn't have green screen, and even if they did, it would obliterate his hair. (hair is translucent so glows green, and is removed by the software.)

I failed the rotoscoping part, but passed the painting section (where you remove markers, crew or other features not wanted in the final image.)

Whilst "a scanner darkly" is a brilliant example of rotoscoping, its not the example. if you look at this showreel towards the end you see captain marvel, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sYWzFNobEo look at her hair, every individual wisp of hair that extends past her neck is individually masked out.

Good rotoscoping is often the building block of "expensive" looking VFX.

For computer vision its also important so you can get ground truth on tracking various object and training models like segment anything

>they could buy out their lease

with lower prevailing market rents, the landlord would be silly to accept any buyout less than the full rental amount (with some discounting for time) and at that cost, the tenant should just continue to pay rents over time on the off chance that they want to use it later. In other words, it doesn't benefit the tenant to pay full price AND not have the option to use the space for the remainder of the lease term.

>or sublease it

We have to ask how this benefits the landlord above the current lease. If it doesn't add value to the landlord, there is no reason for them to accept a change
They aren't getting rid of the Chromecast streaming. Google TV does both Chromecast and the Android interface.

The one difference is that Google TV runs the app for service if installed and streams with that. It is nice to use the remote when streaming instead of pulling out phone to pause or change volume.
McSherry told Ars that major service providers like Cloudflare can become "chokepoints," where lawful speech gets taken down because, regardless of intent, "they can't be precise in what they do" once their platform gets too big and reports get too numerous. She agreed with Senk that a few large companies controlling vast amounts of content online can be problematic.

"It is true that there are a relatively small number of companies that have outsized influence over what is available online," McSherry said. "And that can be really difficult or create a real problem because sometimes they don't have any choice but to sort of overcensor."

"In this case, "there was just big companies using big processes and not being careful," McSherry said. "And that is not acceptable."

Ask HN: Lisp's parentheses are bad but Elixir's `end`s are okay?
Why do people hate Lisp's parentheses so much, but they don't find this abomination a step back:

Example Elixir code:

defmodule A do
defmacro __using__(_env) do
quote do
defmodule Math do
def plus_itself(y) do
y + y
end
end
end
end
end

It also happens in Ruby and several other languages. Typing "end" is three key strokes whereas ")" is just one or two, depending on your keyboard configuration.

And IMO multiple "end"s are much uglier than multiple parentheses.
Ideally, you shouldn't rely on characters for this, you should instead use the key code (which is 90 for z/я), which identifies the physical key on the keyboard as opposed to its corresponding character in the current layout.

Here's a useful tool for finding out key codes: https://www.toptal.com/developers/keycode

This lack of patient agency applies to all of medicine, really.

I plan to improve patient-doctor relationship in general. Gut tells me that enabling educative access to the basic sciences component of medical school and paring it down to patient specific focus, we can enable much higher patient agency through better patient-doctor communication and a deeper understanding of ones condition.

More importantly a better decision making process and ability to query and understand the doctor.

Depending on how you were connecting, your traffic may have been explicitly allowed. If you were connecting via your cell phone, using roaming with your home SIM card, you're not subject to the Great Firewall (all your data was essentially VPNed through your wireless carrier's PoP already). And IIRC many larger hotel chains that cater to foreigners (and would likely refuse to allow a citizen to stay there) also aren't GFW'd

>Confusingly, vehemently anti-gun folks often hold the most pro-euthanasia/doctor-assisted-suicide positions

Right, because I can just pop down to my doctor-safe in my basement, and I've got all I need to have a doctor-assisted-suicide, within minutes of the idea popping into my head./s

Banning coal oil stoves in Britain had a strong effect on their suicide rate, so its really not that much of a reach to think that if fewer people had access to another method of instant-gratification suicide, fewer people would kill themselves.

To be clear here, I am pro-gun-ownership, explicitly for self-defense. I oppose e.g. "assault weapon" bans. But if you're lumping opposition to spur-of-the-moment suicides in with opposition to suicide as an option for the terminally ill after much contemplation and confirmation, I'd say you're not really arguing the point in good faith either.

To address your final point, spur-of-the-moment suicides are frequently the result of long-simmering depression, punctuated by an acute event, without meaningful help. One of the common bits of advice if you think someone is suicidal is to not leave them alone (not just to prevent them from doing something rash, but also because companionship can itself help stave off suicidal ideation in the first place). In light of that, it seems sort of self-evident that people who are physically alone more often would commit suicide more often.
Doesn't the BNF grammar approach in llama.cpp solve this issue in a generic way that should work with any model? Why wouldn't they use that?
The actual AWS product yes, but the initial idea came from what I said. Perhaps I wasn't clear - its not like they started renting out servers right away, but saw the potential. As such SQS was the first service that was created.

The corp fabric does run on AWS. Its just the legacy tools that are used to manage the virtual machines instead of them being liked to the AWS account. The hardware is in the same data centers, and legacy tools wrap AWS stuff under the hood.

But yeah flagging for unnecessary personal insults.

I don't disagree with that per se (of course there are exceptions), but I don't see how that implies I'd only need a job because of my lifestyle choices. Even for a frugal life style where you only pay for groceries, Internet and rent, I'd still need a source of income. I'm assuming to healthcare either, as that's a luxury I've never had. :P
