I strongly agree, yeah! The trick is making those tensions constructive and no matter who's at fault (could be both sides), someone failed there.

Unpaywalled: https://archive.md/1PcIx There’s an interesting detail in here about Sam trying to spin up a chip company with Middle Eastern money. That’s potentially a double point of contention: one for trying to start a co

What if the board gave Altman clear direction, Altman told them he accepted it, and then went off and did something else? This hypothesis doesn’t require the board’s direction to be objectively good.

Yes. It’s also true that the board made decisions I would not expect from a competent board, like not giving any investors a heads up about this. One thing we’ll know by tomorrow morning: was Swisher right when she said there’d be more top

This is too incomplete to reach any conclusions. The board made claims about a specific class of activity. They may or may not have been more specific in their conversations with Sam and Greg. Either way the credibility accusation needs mor

I wouldn’t keep working for them. Sometimes there isn’t an optimal outcome, in which case it’s often best to cut losses and leave.

Less active than Mastodon, more active than nostr. https://vqv.app/stats/chart is useful for Bluesky and draws on the Bluesky firehose for data. https://stats.nostr.band/ seems useful for nostr.

That is not necessarily true. I don’t have an X account; if I go to Musk’s X page I see his pinned post followed by something from 2022. So Slack could always pin the most recent post but they’d still lose the progress of the incident.

Typically this sort of fine is a warning shot meant to encourage compliance rather than to damage. I don’t have time right now to dig in and verify, but there’s a Guardian article that mentions the potential for assessing retroactive daily

And the techniques in the article are basically how we did it. (I say “we” but I’m just a system administrator who got to work with some cool people at Turbine.) As Eumenes notes, the Asheron’s Call engine was significantly ahead of its tim

It’s funny but if esr actually read Kropotkin without bias I suspect he’d find a lot to agree with. I don’t know if he’d realize how much he’s been co-opted by what Kropotkin would call “the crushing powers of the centralized State.”

Can you unpack this a bit? My recollection is that the program was initiated in 2014, with substantial contributions from private organizations. It was further funded in 2015 with more private sector contributions. I believe it was shut dow

Agreed. You can do this on Slack, mostly.

Yep. Amazon bought MGM Holdings in March, 2022. The studio is the only meaningful portion of that. They’re no longer considered a major U.S. studio but they release 8-10 films a year.

For what it’s worth, being verified isn’t a random factor: it’s the result of a conscious decision to pay X $8 a month. (Maybe a few exceptions.) Your call as to whether that’s a reasonable evaluation but it’s not random.

Speaking as a legacy Harvard admission, I wouldn’t say you get a lot of long term relationships beteeen legacy students and merit students. Some, for sure, but there are different social circles at Harvard. Check out the Harvard social club

In the interests of constructive feedback: Are those absolute numbers or per capita numbers? If the former, are there population trends which would affect the graph? What happened between 2018 and 2023? Why is the Biden story missing? Were

Hard for me to tell — the links all go to Twitter and I don’t have a Twitter account, so I can’t see what’s there.

Okay, let’s dig into that one. The tweet quotes the court ruling, which says “Psaki publicly reminded Facebook and other social-media platforms of the threat of ‘legal consequences’ if they do not censor misinformation more aggressively.” B

Twitter has been severely hampered for 12+ hours, and that’s only the latest issue. I don’t think Musk has demonstrated anything conclusively quite yet.

Sorry, not going to do the “your cite doesn’t count because I don’t like some ineffable thing about it” game. There’s a scientific claim in there; I will freely admit that I don’t know enough about viral genetics to have a valid opinion abo

I think this is a good point, but here’s a follow up question: is the zoonotic theory incompatible with this list of patient zeros? It would be a somewhat odd coincidence for virus researchers to be the people infected at the market. But… i

There’s been brigading from both sides, it’s just more noticeable when it’s an outcome you personally disagree with. I’m having to remind myself that just because a) my subreddit has someone who’s never posted there vehemently arguing to st

I run a thousand member subreddit that is probably going to vote to stay open. Insignificant but it’s a data point.

venv is fine. Remember that this is a self-selected sample of people. You’re going to bump into the flaws and gotchas but it’s a perfectly usable tool.

Easier on my general well-being to just assume positive intent. (As is obvious from my comment history I don't always succeed there, but I do try.)
