> Bots are also an issue on twitter. But I get way more actual engagement there than I ever got on BlueSky. What gives? I don't think there's anything other than - there are more people on twitter; due to first mover advantage

No, I mean - the US has arguably already lost . It (almost unanimously) has no sign of winning . But it could, maybe, still win in the future. In short the argument is: can the US still win in any sense?

The US also arguably lost the Iran war. So far it can't claim any minor fraction of a victory, at least; seems to be the general consensus. I like to read Bret Devereaux (from the frequently HN posted https://acoup.blog&#x2F

There was a time, maybe 15 years ago?, when a journalist "on the ground" of something happening would post it to Twitter within seconds of it happening; and it'd be picked up by major news cycles only next day or something. I

Twitter is indeed the greatest communication techonlogy if you do not count the telegraph, the telephone, the television, radio, almost every single aspect of the internet, etc. It beats shouting from your window in reach and carrier pigeon

Maybe a naive take, but if there's one team in a large corporation that does not bend to "the CEO(-to-be) wants it", that is the Legal team. Particularly when the ask is a lawsuit of this scope and relevance, and potential co

So I got it yesterday, and the toddler loves it. He's not quite there yet with controlling even the mouse movement, but I could already see some progress in his familiarity with it from the first session. Of course banging on the keybo

It's hard to believe how spot-on this is to what I've been looking for. I thought about coding something almost exactly like this, for the exact same reasons as the author describes. I see this is from earlier in the year; I'

The blog post is clearly human written. One minor signal in the title is nothing and should not, I think, offend anyone to the point it seems to have offended you. Besides, I refuse to accept that we are now meant to police ourselves and ou

I believe it is possible for us - all - to adapt regarding the cultural impacts, changes to Art, and decoupling of practice from creation (for things like music, drawings, movies, etc.). In a crude but useful analogy, people still run marat

Please explain explicitly what you are implying, because I don't get it Who are the 1/3 of the population that does not reason by analogy?

This is "only" a crisis in the sense that our current economies break down if the influx of new consumers slows down. We'll adapt. Won't be painless, but it is not catastrophic, at least not in the same sense that climat

Sorry that you wasted time but - it was wasted time! "Salary portability" is ensured in Brazil by the Banco Centra, at least since 2006. Employees can receive salary in any bank account they choose, even if their employer proces

Addendum: limit it to ~300 growthLimit to... manage expectations And the preset doesn't matter - I thought it was a initial config that applies to any rule; it is a preset of the previous parameters instead

My quick investigation indicates that rule 2183 with a zero flipProb and the "fancy tentacles" is the most consistently able to generate penis-like images

8690 with a high flipProb, "stable explosion" preset, is like a fuse - be patient and it 'explodes'. Very fun! (Edit: apparently the fuse can 'die off' but the thing still eventually explodes)

Agreed, but cuts are confusing even considering the paradigm, though. Especially considering the paradigm, actually! They are necessary in practice, though. But boy do a cut here and there makes it harder for catching up to some Prolog code

Maybe they did this to keep the contract with a symbolic value; or to avoid the headlines that Tesla 'cancelled' the contract? A '99% write down' is such an uncommon term that many people might not register it.

Not that I agree with the post you are replying to - I think having announcements in a few of the best-known languages is very reasonable to deal with tourists - but the fair expression/announcement would be something simpler like &quo
