That's great once you already have a list of interesting accounts you want to follow, but it doesn't solve the account discovery problem.
What's wrong with text rendering?

> TVs may have a different subpixel layout than monitors, so small text may suffer fringing. As of writing the Samsung VA and LG IPS panels such as the QN800A have a conventional RGB or BGR subpixel structure. One may also increase the font size or use hidpi scaling which will eliminate all pixel-level concerns.
Similar thoughts:

Almost every children's book that depicts a serious issue, such as racism, tells a complete story where the problem is solved and is no longer a problem. I believe this is a big part of why so many people think that racism (again, for example) isn't a problem anymore.

Because, they learned, from a very young age, and for many years, that such problems were solved.

There is a very strong and understandable impulse for children's books to be comforting, and to shy away from un-answered questions. This, as you point out, leads to a warped view of reality that parents then should correct.

That is a really good question. I suppose you could reduce it further by saying that you want the proof of "A or B". Assuming both true, it suffices to either get a proof for A or for B (of course, this may not be true in general).

Regardless, this is a really good counter-example that will force me to think some more about it. Thanks!

Ignoring that I was clearly being rhetorical, they specifically note that they bought two mice because they have two Macs. The "I let one die when at home and use the other" is a consequence of that choice, not the other way around. This is super clear.

You literally, directly claimed that Apple is making a monetary choice to try to force people to buy second mice for when one dies. This is...hilarious conjecture, to put it politely.

>This conversation is boring and you're making assertions that aren't valid.

It is. The tiring noise of the Apple haters who define their personality by being Apple haters and run into every Apple conversation to make it known remains extremely boring.

Vetted packages are great, but they aren't the end of all security problems. Good security needs defense-in-depth.

It's rare but not unheard of for someone to be able to sneak malicious code into a vetted package. It's extremely common for vetted packages to have security vulnerabilities that could be exploited.

I don't want someone who finds a vulnerability in a fart app to be able to escalate that to attack other apps on my computer.

Just use cosmetic filtering on ublock to filter for certain words using has-text in [span, a, p] elements (div breaks some websites, thus doesn't work for hn comments). It helps remove a lot of noise on the web. Particularly on select topics that get astroturfed / rage-baited to hell.

> Why the hell are your baristas competing?

Because that's what is necessary in a market economy? If they don't put in effort to compete, the customer will find another team of baristas that will. It is not like it is hard to find another coffeeshop.

> you shouldn't have to arbitrarily put someone at the bottom of the curve

What is arbitrary about it? The reality is that more coffeeshops open than can actually be supported by coffee drinkers, so it is an economic necessity that some end up shuttering due to being at the "bottom of the curve".
In Reddit's wild-west era (pre-2017-ish), it used to house many 'Matt Levines'. They'd be resident greybeards of their respective subreddits.

Reddit 'had' solved the 2 main conundrums of 'Matt Levines'. If you're in demand, you don't have the time to be blogging. If you're in demand, you don't want your public persona to low effort comments. But reddit wasn't a job, it was leisure with a pseudo anon persona. Its status as a pretty-filter-on-4chan meant that greybeards could offload their writing by linking to 4chan. Alas, in trying to make it appeal to the mainstream, Ohanian killed the golden goose and reddit became a sanitized quora-tiktok analogue. Gwern himself runs a couple of niche subreddits which occasionally see such grey-beards stepping in. But, the website is clearly in decline.

IMO, this article comes a little late. Substack is the killer-app for Matt Levines. Substacks by Razib, Asianometry, Sebastian Raschka, Dominic Cummings, etc. rub shoulders with Matt Levine in their respective fields.

I'm not rich enough to be paying $100/month across different substacks. But I occasionally get a 1 month 'binge-subsription' to my favorites. There is a lot of gold there.

Yeah, the CFAA doesn't work by analogy unfortunately.
I actually kind of agree with this. For me, the more pixels the better (I'm sensitive to fuzzy text, and subpixel rendering makes it worse), but I'd really prefer just one monitor, not too big. 15-19" is fine, especially if it's 4:3. 1600x1200 on a 17" monitor would be really nice.

100% this is how my company used to deploy. we had multiple servers. rsync'd code to each server and cycled IIS. Worked good. Deploys to our farm took just a minute or two, because it would do a double deploy just to be extra sure everything went out.

Then the BORG came and assimilated us. Our deploys take easily 45+ minutes to really start shifting traffic
Yeah, that seems to be the premise of the recent book "The Anxious Generation" by Jonathan Haidt. I only read the first chapter or so, but seems to be pretty convincingly the case, and really harmful for kids mental health.

Personally, I don't post on social media, and I ask my friends and family not to post content with or about me. However, doing the same would be much harder and more socially isolating for teenagers.
Yes, these are great questions!

When I look at my own experiences, I wouldn’t focus strictly on code quality and productivity in the narrow sense. What I mean by that is that my focus on smaller commits and smaller branches helped team members understand changes more quickly, making knowledge transfer easier. For branches where code reviews/approvals were necessary, this helped our overall flow because stories were not blocked that long due to long-lasting approvals.

Another point was that, with Kasama, I was able to track the runtime of long-running tests and build tasks, which allowed me to point at tasks where optimizations were needed. Otherwise, such discussions were always based on gut feelings, and improvements were usually postponed…
Good take. It really makes you realize that as much as engineers like to pretend they're purely rational and analytical, we're just as emotional as everyone else.
Old style Google search is dead, folks just haven’t closed the casket yet. My index queries are down ~90%. In the future, we’ll look back at LLMs as a major turning point in how people retrieve and consume information.
Yes, muscle memory is powerful. But it's not an insurmountable barrier for a follower. The switch from Google to various AI apps like Perplexity being a case in point. I still find myself beginning to reach for Google and then 0.1 seconds later catching myself. As a side note: I'm also catching myself having a lack of imagination when it comes to what is solvable. e.g. I had a specific technical question about github's UX and how to get to a thing that no one would have written about and thus Google wouldn't know, but openAI chat nailed it first try.

> Unfortunately, rates of depression, misery, and loneliness are also significantly up, so I wouldn't be so fast to call the overall cultural change a healthy and beautiful win. I wonder how much these factors go hand in hand.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I do want to say that we're much more aware of mental health issue than we were 10 years ago. I was quite depressed myself as a teenager, yet it was just a common thing to "man up" and don't express that.

Current teenagers might be more open about what's going on in their head, and i think it's beautiful.

I think it's one of those issues that we used to ignore in the past, and now that we don't do that anymore, we're perceiving it as an new emergency. But it's not "new".
People read news and then share their opinion on social media. Also, there are much more news than politics, so why do news outlets choose politics as their main front page vector? Ad revenue.
Mr Musk is correct - a shrinking population will endanger his ability to make even more money.

The only people that want more people are the ones that have the means (financial) to negate all the negative aspects over population creates. They do not have to worry about medical care, shop, wait in lines or count their pennies when they spend money. TSA is not even a thing for you if you have your own jet.

The other comments talk about Asahi Linux, which doesn't support the M3 yet. You can also run Linux in a VM on MacOS, and it runs very well.

For some uses you won't get the best performance compared to native Linux. But for a Plex/Kodi server a VM should be great.

(On an x86 Apple laptop I found the power consumption better with a Linux VM on MacOS than with native Linux, so VMs can be quite efficient for some uses. Software builds sometimes run much faster in a Linux VM inside MacOS than natively in MacOS. On the other hand, I found Qemu inside a Linux VM for Android development was extremely slow.)
This totally aligns with my personal experience. I am Italian, most of my "For you" tweets used to be in Italian. Recently a lot of US, pro-GOP content sneaked in; stuff along the lines of: guy explaining that his wife must vote as he wish (i.e. Trump); anti-abortion lady praising Musk; anything (good or bad) mentioning Musk.
I am sure I am doing something wrong on my side and started falling to rage-bait, but I am equally sure I didn't initiate any interest in this kind of content.

Re: Smart TVs. An old laptop running a browser with an ad blocker and some fancy controller setup (perhaps a wireless multi-button mouse or a specialized remote control) can get you way more privacy (and the sanity of a mostly zero-ad experience, just the occasional in-video affiliate ad) and makes whatever you watch a lot smarter, since you are the one doing the searching/surfing rather than the advertiser-funded smart TV channels that are specifically smart at advertising to you for profit. You can hook up an HDMI cable to a bigger screen/projector if you're playing stuff for lots of people.
Most people's first exposure to LLMs was ChatGPT, and that was only what - like 18 months ago it really took off in the mainstream? We're still very early on in the grand scheme of things.

You can disable "For You" and only have your timeline and lists.

But you need a plugin (or run some javascript). I am trying to get a Safari Extension through the App Store... but that is taking some time.

(function() {
var defaultMatch = "For you";

function fixYou() {
let firstSelected = document.querySelectorAll('[href="/home"][aria-selected="true"]')[0];
let text = firstSelected.textContent;

if(text == defaultMatch){
document.querySelectorAll('[href="/home"][aria-selected="false"]')[0].click();
}
}

const observer = new MutationObserver((mutations) => { fixYou() });
observer.observe(document.body, { childList: true, subtree: true });
window.addEventListener('load', () => { fixYou(); });
})();

This is the code to do it, if you want to roll your own.

I fully agree about all of this. The sad fact is that, in my country, a person with this humble and contented perspective is rolling the dice when it comes to housing, health, and autonomy, and many of them lead unnecessarily stressful and lives with no time/energy for community or creative development. That’s the part I would like to see fixed.

Sure, I think if a doorbell exists, it's fine to press it. For me, I just don't want to get overwhelmed by their barking dogs or greeting 4 other people. Sometimes, I'm just not in the mood and just want to see my friend one-on-one. I'm not doing it for other people. I'm doing it for myself because I find the experience of calling someone when I arrive to be a lot more pleasant in some cases. Those cases happen to occur more often when my friends are young. i.e. living with lots of other people or with their parents and family dogs.

There's a huge difference there. Those PCs have to be ordered from Aliexpress, or some other Chinese site, or else from Amazon via a third party resellers that adds their own markup on top.

> Slacking around SQL snippets, schlepping around CSVs, devs having minor inconsistencies when running a bunch of ad-hoc queries: problems for sure, but not major ones for a small company.

This is a general theme: it is hard to fight "good enough". Even in a big-enough company, a competent engineer will have a good enough way to manage queries, while incompetent ones won't care. In the end, very few people will want to pay for such service, or even want to learn such service.
I think repairable or not, the pricing to upgrade to the max config just isn't something a price-sensitive consumer should take seriously. Beyond one or two upgrades, you might as well pretend it says "call for quote" and just not consider 4+ TB as a realistic option to get from the OEM, because those prices are trying to cause sticker shock. And that goes for any PC OEM—the price-gouged upgrades are so far beyond reasonable that it really doesn't matter whose prices are the most silly or by exactly how many hundreds of dollars. What does matter is whether aftermarket upgrades and repairs are possible.

Migration is on my todo list, but it’s non trivial enough I’m not sure when I’ll ever have cycles to even figure out the best option. Gitlab? Self-hosted Git? Go back to SVN? A totally different platform?

Amazon have a very close relationship with Anthropic, which seems like a good match (Anthropic focus on business use), and win-win. Anthropic gets access to the compute they need, and Amazon get AI to integrate into their AWS offerings.

I don't know the contractual basis of the relationship, but it seems this has to be pretty long term and strategic. A significant part of the competitive advantage of one AI vendor over another comes down to inference cost, which in turm comes down to customizing the model architecture for the hardware it is running on, which in this case either is, or will be, Amazon's home grown Graviton processors.
It's too bad that you have to take an additional step to do something that ought to be the default behaviour.

Twitter's value was always the data and influence it had. But it was never able to capture that value and gave it away to openai and others who scraped the data and used it to help build out their LLM. And realistically, even if they had known this was happening, they would still have trouble capturing the actual value from a third party scraping its data.

But by buying it and using it to build a competitive LLM based off the data, he was able to capture the value, at least when both entities are combined.

I never thought about it this way and I'm not sure if this was the actual strategy when he bought Twitter, but it makes sense.

And the next best ones are from Google and X.
