I can even see people going to SpaceX or xAI attracted by the kind of work they do, but Twitter? The company needs no unique skills. If you are good enough to work there, you can work at a hundred other well paying companies in very similar frontend/backend/infrastructure engineering roles.
> When you access a transient string, the string itself won’t know whether the data it points to is still valid, so you as a programmer need to ensure that every transient string you use is actually still valid.

In my mind this reads identical to "if you're a security practitioner, worry about this bit here."
We can all see you have zero intellectual honesty, but I still can't help but ask; with your finite time what do you think you are achieving here?
I found Cloudflare completely useless when trying to take down cloned scam websites using ".shop" domains. We had to go directly to the registrar to get them removed.

Moreover, the constant CAPTCHA prompts by Cloudflare are incredibly frustrating. This practice is a form of abuse and needs to be called out for being so.

Yeah, the fact that floating point multiplication isn't associative is a real pain for producing deterministic outputs - especially when you're running massively parallel computations on GPUs (or multiple GPUs) making the order of operations even less predictable.
How do you deal with failures of the control scheme?

You mentioned elsewhere that redundancy means this is unlikely, but is there ever a reversion to "direct law"? Does the plane still have manual trim/rudder/throttle to deal with this, and are the pilots expected to periodically practice using the controls in "direct law"?

Do you have a working plane available for a test flight? :)
I’ve noticed that lately GPT has gotten more and more verbose. I’m wondering if it’s a subtle way to “raise prices”, as the average response is going to incur I more tokens, which makes any API conversation to keep growing in tokens of course (each IN message concatenates the previous OUT messages).
Google is a special case where most of the shares sold to the public have no voting rights.

The founders and early investors got the shares with voting rights, plus non voting shares they could sell to cash in, while retaining their control of the company.

Class A: Held by a regular investor with regular voting rights (GOOGL)
Class B: Held by the founders, with 10 times the voting power of Class A shares
Class C: No voting rights, typically held by employees and some Class A stockholders (GOOG)

Well then quit beating around the bush and say what you mean. How are the actions of a Christian, UK-born citizen relevant to the Muslim refugees who were being harassed and abused by British race rioters?
Can you tell us what it is really about then?
Thank you! I am blown away!
Elon tells advertisers to go fuck themsleves, turns Twitter into a cesspool and a hollow shell of its former self and then sues when they decide as companies to not advertise on his now toxic platform? Seems logical to me on the part of the advertisers.

If this doesn’t track for you did causality break in the universe?
Of course it's not trivial but it's typically very cost-effective, particularly because much of the (intentionally-prohibitive) costs of residential construction apply before breaking ground.

It obviously depends on appreciation minus conversion cost, but if that figure was negative we wouldn't be talking about this at all. The arguments that you put forth are being used by the cartel to rationalize why there's so little conversion going on. In truth it's mostly because of obstruction.
I saw a guy get shot on Mission and 6th after picking a fight with the car in front of him at the light. Lucky for him, there was an ambulance already on the block loading up a tweaked out junkie.
Thanks! Although I'd be interested in debating the topic at length (and I also have a longstanding offer to resolve anyone's space leak problems) I don't want to be That Haskell Guy^{TM} who won't let the topic go, so I'll leave it up to you whether you want to continue the debate. I will say however, that this most recent comment is significantly less pessimistic than your original one (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41170695) and I don't think I disagree with it (except if it subtly implies that Haskell must use laziness everywhere -- that's not true!).

> Never use random IVs with GCM; this breaks the authentication [2] [3]. Given the pitfalls of AES-GCM with respect to random nonces, you might prefer switching to XSalsa20+Poly1305. The advantage of XSalsa is it has an extended nonce length, so you can use random nonces without fear.

Those papers are a bit over my head. Could you please explain what's wrong with using random IVs here? What should we do instead (assuming we can only use GCM, and not switch to chacha)
Has anyone ever successfully used the BSOD register, memory, stack, status dump information to diagnose and fix a fault?

Are those values even useful given that the machine is halted and there's no way to inspect or read any additional information about what was running and where it was in memory?

I suspect there are a select few that can do this, but for the rest of us it's a reboot and reload situation. Also, those that could use this information probably also could fix and resolve the crash without it?

So, what's the point of even dumping that info to screen, instead of putting up a simple "oops, I died, time to restart" message?
They originate in space but do not necessarily come directly from space. Stuff is landing on earth all the time. Much of it then becomes dust/sand and gets moved around. What appears on a roof can be new falls from space, but also space stuff blown from elsewhere. Take a an amount of topsoil or sand. Run a magnet over it and you will find tiny flecks of space rock.
I guess I'm one of your so-called "boring" ones. I fucking hate cars. They're expensive, they're dangerous, and finding parking is a massive time and money suck. Living life getting shuttled from bubble to bubble in your little bubble car is no life at all.
No, those are called towns, because they're not actually cities if they don't have the density to support city-grade amenities.
> What's more IIUC, Musk/X are claiming that advertisers should be required to advertise (and pay for those advertisements) on Twitter/X. Unless I'm missing something important, that makes absolutely no sense.

Agreed. It doesn’t. Companies are free to spend their ad dollars how they choose to. It’s a free country last I checked.
The article is very clear these accounts are "bot-like" but don't make a clear claim, simply citing red flags of bot-ness. As noted below, they do not list out the 45 "bot-like" accounts in question, while they do cite specific "divisive political content" that is counter to a progressive political campaign.

So maybe so, maybe not. Not disputing that bots are a problem on X. But in this case, theres an obvious effort to lump in all anti-progressive writing as "divisive political content."

Nobody wants to 'read' your source code!

The entire point of choosing to use open source projects is that if you, the author, begin to enshitify the product (Or simply start to move in a direction different from users) users can fork the project and carry on an un-enshitified version.

If you can't compete with the author, you can't do that. So what is the point of picking software using this license over traditional closed source?
Elon claims they are growing users and have excellent engagement numbers for what that is worth.
John Vert on that "I believe Mark Lucovsky wrote the original code that dumped a bunch of text to the screen. This was a bugcode and a stack dump, resulting in a bunch of useless hex numbers which product support would occasionally dutifully transcribe from the customers and include in the bug report."

I used to work at a large telco, and had daily dealings with Marketing.

It was incredible to see how important they thought they were, and how every single aspect of the entire company had to be about Marketing. Even when it very clearly made the product shitter and pissed off customers and was a total disaster, they would increase the number of ads, increase the BS customers had to listen to when calling in and make the website a nightmare to navigate.

Even when external experts hired specifically to re-design the website for millions of dollars said point blank their decisions were horrific and were driving customers away, marketing said "We are Marketing, do as we say".

Everyday working with them made me think of that Steve Jobs video where he talks about a company being doomed when the marketing folks take over.

The attention grabbing and objection handling pieces are discussed in Never Split the Difference, amongst other ways to negotiate a deal. Basically ask lots of what/how questions until the other party negotiates themselves to your position.

The rest of the script is just qualification questions, which you can find written about everywhere if you look up BANT (Budget, Authority, Need, Timeline) and MEDDPICC (Metrics, Economic buyer, Decision criteria, Decision process, Paper process, Identify pain, Champion, and Competition).

I wish I had a good book recommendation for qualifying, but it’s the easier part of the sales process: you’re just asking questions and listening, setting yourself up for the next stage. Once you know whether the prospect has a problem you can solve, then you launch into the real sale, generally a presentation or demo tailored to the prospect’s problems and goals.

I remember it being the case before too. It wasn't unconditional like it is now. For example, I distinctly remember being able to scroll through someone's profile in a normal browser window without being logged in, but in an incognito window, I was immediately told to log in or create an account.

They may have had other heuristics too that led to inconsistent behavior between users. So it should not be so surprising if some people report that that happened even though it didn't happen to others.

At my university the CS department didn't like us, economic students, so they stuck us in the basement, aka the museum.

So I got to do all my econometrics labs with Fortran, C and BASH shell on a real Unix system. But first I had to learn to punch card! Write the program on paper, debug as much as possible by hand. Punch en entire deck of cards. Bring the box over to the lab technician to load them. (don't drop the box on the floor...) Wait for the tape to be loaded to live memory. Go to a teletype terminal, run my program.

Can you recommend any companies I can apply to with an option to “opt” for just-cause employment? Would be very impressed if you could list any companies offering “just-cause” employment with >=12,500 employees that these laid-off employees could have “opted” for.

Or does that not exist?

At first glance, it seems equivalent to “well, they opted to work on planet Earth”, with the implication that they could have opted to work on the moon or Mars or the ISS - as in, for the most part those options don’t actually exist, and where they do, there are a very limited number of jobs available (on the ISS), so that in fact not all of the 12,500 people could have opted to work there.
Acquisitions.
I'd add that even though Advertising (well, more specifically, Advertising Market Research) put a roof over my head, clothes on my back and food in my belly for the first 18 years of my life, then for another five years in my early 20s, I despise advertisers, advertising and all that goes with it.

I take great pains to avoid viewing/hearing ads anywhere and wish that scum would just go away.

I'm not "rooting for the ad industry"[0]. In fact, I wish it was abolished or at least heavily regulated.

That said, forcing folks to endorse speech they don't wish to endorse, and/or forcing folks to pay to endorse such speech (showing an ad next to a tweet serves as a de facto endorsement of that tweet) is wrong.

And as much as I hate advertisers, I love freedom of expression and freedom of (or, in this case, from) association for everyone, including those triple-damned advertisers.

They are hoping you will subscribe to their streaming service, but it works just fine without subscribing to theirs. It also aggregates multiple streaming services into a consolidated guide rather nicely.

Not as nice as Channels DVR (which also lets you record streams and will strip commercials), but one of the nicer streaming boxes for the money.
I understand what the standard econ calculus based models are. I am a physicist, and we do the same thing where we were really good at modelling systems with small number of particles, or very large number of particles. For small, you can just enumerate all the options, and for large you take the limit to infinity [1], which yields calculus based models.

But a lot of interesting real world systems operate in the intermediate scenario, and I know from physics how 1 or infinity models can fail badly at describing the complexities of intermediate sized systems. In fact, there is a lot of work going on today in various branches of physics in this type of modelling and theory building, because we now have the computational power to understand such systems.

What I am saying about economics are not my original thoughts. I have heard several mathematicians/economists talk about this briefly. I am just looking for the right reference to learn it properly.

This is the Friedman doctrine:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedman_doctrine

It has been popular since the 1970s, but there is plenty of legal precedence that says otherwise:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stakeholder_theory

Including recent SCOTUS rulings:

> While it is certainly true that a central objective of for-profit corporations is to make money, modern corporate law does not require for-profit corporations to pursue profit at the expense of everything else, and many do not do so. For-profit corporations, with ownership approval, support a wide variety of charitable causes, and it is not at all uncommon for such corporations to further humanitarian and other altruistic objectives. Many examples come readily to mind. So long as its owners agree, a for-profit corporation may take costly pollution-control and energy-conservation measures that go beyond what the law requires. A for-profit corporation that operates facilities in other countries may exceed the requirements of local law regarding working conditions and benefits. If for-profit corporations may pursue such worthy objectives, there is no apparent reason why they may not further religious objectives as well.

There was once a recruiter who cold called me and I ended up taking the job that they reached out about, so I guess it works sometimes?

Obviously recruiting is a bit different, because of course I have to go interview at a place and whatnot, but it's the only example of where a cold call worked on me.
Suburbs can be prisons if there’s not enough people your age around you. I lived in semi-suburbs and had friends I’d walk to after school. Makes it more fun than having to organize car dates until someone gets a car. But nowadays kids are so supervised I don’t know if they hang outside anymore

According to Musk, Twitter is busier than ever and about to start being a financial company. Why do they need advertisers in the first place?

Rather than sue a bunch of advertisers why doesn’t Elon, who is clearly a once in a generation business genius, execute on his plan and show the world why we don’t need advertisers?
This is like asking who would ever click on an online ad, yet they sell billions of dollars of merchandise every year. It's a numbers game.
Free speech is both an ideal, and something which is guaranteed by law (in some countries anyways). As a matter of law, you're correct. If you aren't prosecuted for your speech, then the law of free speech wasn't violated. But extralegal actions can still be (and often are) contrary to the ideal of free speech and are criticized on that basis. It is common, but erroneous, to conflate these two senses of "free speech".
What a cool product! I was about to recommend you to submit it as a "Show HN", but it turns out that it already got submitted one year ago.

You can revert to a "direct law" in an emergency should multiple faults occur that reduce the capability of the flight controller. However, there's a question of is that the right move--if a pilot isn't regularly practiced in flying in a direct control, its probably more dangerous to revert to direct law than to say, pull the parachute, so it would be up to the pilot to determine the best course of action. The system would still be fully "by wire" though, there isn't a mechanical link between the pilot and surfaces/throttle. But, in such a mode, the flight controller is bypassed and the yoke directly commands the actuators, reducing the number of fault points between the pilot's input and the actuator.

We've flown early versions in an test aircraft that we have and are currently integrating the latest version of Airhart Assist (seen in the video) into the Airhart Sling prototype to be flying and giving demos by the end of the year.
