Wrong. The accounts with orders for blocking were pushing a doxxing campaign against police investigators tasked with the January 8 coup attempt investigation. Doxxing/threats probably aren't protected speech anywhere in the world.
User interfaces have different, inherent complexity that backend programming doesn't have. If you look at the Android & iOS native toolkits they've churned at least as much in the same time.

Also, and it seems like this has to be pointed out in every one of these threads, the complexity of interfaces we're building on the web now is far greater than what we were building 10 years ago.
Fairly shocking how little is given to Django given how much value is taken from it. I'd have assumed a much higher number.
This is absolute key advice.

Another way to look at it is the functional core, imperative shell pattern.

Wrapping up your dict in a value object (dataclass or whatever that is in you language) early on means you handle the ugly stuff first. Parse don't validate. Resist the temptation of optional fields. Is there really anything you can do if the field is null? No, then don't make it optional. Let it crash early on. Clearly define you data.

If you have put your data in a neat value objects you know what is in it. You know the types. You know all required fields are there. You will be so much happier. No checking for null throughout the code, no checking for empty strings. You can just focus on the business logic.

Seriously so much suffering can be avoided by just following this pattern.

This is something people love to rage about, yet it's not one with an obvious fix. The counterpoint is that this leaves money invested, which means others invest in other things, and still entails interest payments. It exists in part because you don't want someone who inherited his parents' house and wants to move in to go broke trying to pay taxes, or have to re-mortgage it, with an even stronger case with family farms.

And it exists in part because there are so many legitimate cases for doing it, even as a wealthy person: pretend you're a relatively successful businessman whose company has appreciated to $50mm. In this world, you can't just leave your gains unrealized and borrow against them. So you can

- Try to find somebody to sell to, which is a sketchy move. Of course, as your company continues to appreciate, you will be forced to continue reducing your ownership stake. Over time, this will make keeping a family business in the family largely impossible.

- Try to find money to pay taxes. This means less money for R&D, for expansion, for your employees.

- Just dump the whole business to private equity and move on.

These all suck, and the government generally collects money on assets as they move not assets at rest. I see no way to resolve it that isn't suckier than the status quo and so am left with the conclusion that people who agitate for such changes are more resentful of the rich than they are worried about the justice or lack thereof of tax avoidance.
I cannot see any counter-argument in your answer.

You didn't source this. This vastly depends on many parameters. Moreover as renewables machines are cheap, recyclable, and can be installed in unused places (or even protect them, as offshore wind does for oceans) you have yet to show which challenge this 'huge overcapacity' stems.

The universe doesn't need to evolve for us to have experience. We would experience evolution through the state space because its structure is oriented such as to experience evolution through time. Each point in experience-time (the relative time evolution experienced by the structure) is oriented towards the next point in experience-time. Even if all such points happen all at once, the experience of being a point in this structure oriented towards the next point is experienced subjectively as sequential. In other words, a block universe would contain sequences of Boltzman brains who all subjectively experience time as sequential.

The real question is why would such a universe appear to evolve from a low entropy past following a small set of laws.

I really don't think that's the case. The lesson of the 2020s internet is that the biggest players have become too big to be disrupted.

The masses are fully here now. They're too passive to know or care what's going on. They stick with the path of least resistance: Google, Amazon, Reddit, Twitter, etc. No matter how hostile or shitty those options become.

We have to put aside the way we've thought about the internet before now because it doesn't apply anymore. There will be no more MySpace -> Facebook. The internet is no longer made up of a high enough percentage of conscientious and deliberate users to make a difference.

At one point in the nineties, while furiously coding a seminal eCommerce app, my friend/boss walked up behind me and said, "Mr. Zoon, you're typing wildly on the keyboard with nothing happening on the screen." I had lost focus to my editor several minute before and being a non-touch-typist hadn't noticed. A few years later, farther into the eCommerce thing, a stubborn bug had held up things for a couple of weeks, Again, my boss/friend walked up behind me and pointed out that I had misspelled a variable name in a certain section of code. The good old days, heh. The code I wrote resulted in a multiple-award-winning product that outsold our competitor's products so quickly that they removed their products from the market. I bought a truck and a house.
I’m not familiar with the specifics but a cursory examination indicates that the accounts were publishing libel.

Libel is not now, has never been, and will never be protected speech.

It also seems that Twitter failed on at least one occasion to appoint legal representation and I don’t know if that means counsel or a business point of contact so if this was whatever Brazil’s version of a default judgement is, that makes it even dumber.

Regardless, if someone (in this case Musk) throws their lot in with people who unambiguously attempted a coup d’etat in the name of free speech, they should be examined more critically than usual.

If an HBO show suggested that I was the Bitcoin creator, I would be wealthy... from owning HBO, after my team of lawyers (who accepted the suit on contingency) was done with them.

Then there's Google editorializing a headline at the top of search hits:

> Bitcoin creator's identity revealed in new HBO documentary

Yet none of the headlines they show makes that claim:

> POLITICO.eu - Bitcoin creator is Peter Todd, HBO film says

> Bloomberg - HBO Documentary Suggests Bitcoin Creator Satoshi Nakamoto Is Peter Todd

> The New York Times - A New Bitcoin Documentary Reopens the Search for Satoshi Nakamoto

> The Crypto Times - Peter Todd Denies He is Satoshi Nakamoto as claimed by HBO...

> The New Yorker - Has Bitcoin's Elusive Creator Finally Been Unmasked?

In general (not just in this case), there should also soon be some huge lawsuits for robo-slander, robo-libel, robo-defamation, robo-reckless-endangerment, etc.

I too loved jQuery, we've used Vue which is on 3.x now and doesn't really seem like it will change terribly much, in the future. It solves all of the things that in jQuery became really difficult while still feeling like there is still a DOM somewhere in there and we're not all that far removed from jQuery style js. Will agree though, most of the newer frameworks I just don't get.

This was probably always the likely outcome of an internet economy that revolves around the production and monetization of "content".

We started by putting advertisements on existing content, then moved to social networking and social media, which was essentially an engine for crowdsourcing the production of greater amounts of content against which to show advertisements. Because money is up for grabs, producing content is now a significant business, and as such, technology is meeting the demand with a way to produce content that is cheaper than the money it can make.

The problem of moderating undesirable human-generated content was already starting to intrude into this business model, but now generative tools are also producing undesirable content faster than moderation can keep up. And at some point of saturation, people will become disinterested, and tools which could previously use algorithmic heuristics to determine which content is good vs bad will begin to become useless. The only way out I can see is something along the lines of human curation of human-generated content. But I'm not sure there is a business model there at the scale the industry demands.

It's an architecture from the Linux kernel's point of view, although it runs on existing hardware. However, it's not accurate to say it has nothing to do with Intel -- they designed and funded it. And it was a waste of resources since the world was going 64 bit, and that was obvious even at the time.

Realistically, Windows is the platform keeping 32 bit code alive, in the form of all those legacy binaries. MacOS and Linux have moved on. So if you design something new for 32 bit that can't be used by Windows, it's DOA.

Indeed. So? There are more and more vehicles, and the average amount of electricity they store (reflected by their autonomy) grows. One of the reasons is well-known: https://ourworldindata.org/battery-price-decline

It's over. Time to turn of the computer and touch grass.
Where it's nowadays standard practice in science to conceive of time as the dimension along which events are tagged, I would suggest the opposite: process, as a sequence of events, induces time. But also in the modern conception, time is derived from atomic events produced by a nuclear source. So, fundamentally the two conceptions are the same, but the process conception allows for greater freedom in what the underlying process may entail.

I think this is exactly right, and I've been thinking that for some time before reading this article.

I'm an ML researcher and a sheep farmer. My lambs are up on their feet, nursing, thirty minutes after birth. Once they have enough blood sugar they are capable of running to keep up with mom. They come prepackaged with a fully functional quadruped locomotion scheme and associated path planning and obstacle avoidance and fully functional vision, touch, and audio processing algorithms. And this is with basically zero embodied learning.

The difference between sheep and humans is, I think, that humans actually "learn" on three timescales instead of two, unlike every other living thing. Sheep learn on evolutionary timescales, through natural selection, and on the timescale of an individual sheep lifetime. But humans learn on the timescale of society as well, in between the other two. I believe that the difference between us and animals isn't so much our dramatically increased intelligence as it is the ability to pass detailed descriptions of what we know on to others, e.g. to language. The amount of information in the world has increased exponentially since the Renaissance. Societies advance on a characteristic timescale of about a century, as far as I can tell. Much faster than evolution, but quite a bit slower than individuals.

In ML, we are doing the same thing as sheep, basically. We have two "learning loops". One is the continual development of new DNN architectures, which corresponds to what evolution does; the other is the training of these architectures on data, which corresponds to what individuals do. But the outer one still mostly proceeds at the speed of human cleverness, not computation. But we are just... relying on the fact that society, and the data it produces, is there for the consumption of ML. We do not have any ideas for speeding up the production of that data except for the hope that we already have enough of it to kickstart GAI. If we do, we'll go through the singularity. If we don't, we won't.

But we can at least solve the "evolutionary learning" problem for ML. We'll need to bring back something like genetic algorithms, or make DNN architectures somehow differentiable so they can be efficiently evolved.
