> would you apply the same rigorous standards of proof if the algorithmic changes benefited different political figures or viewpoints? That's the whole point I'm basically making: I think this is an obviously bogus study, but o

Yeah, the endorsement was mentioned - while the assassination attempt was not. Here is a quote from that study: > In Phase Two, comparing Republican-leaning and Democrat-leaning accounts, we again observed an engagement shift around the

Remember that old study (which got flagged here!) which claimed Musk tuned the algorithms in favor of republicans starting on..... the day of the assassination attempt? Laughable! Well that old study got referenced in this study. "scie

Well I guess you can probably use such an account for sole proprietorship, meaning doing business in your own name with full liability etc...

Debanking to me doesn't just mean "no bank account". It starts with closing of accounts without being given a reason and the constant fear that any new account will be closed as well. For businesses this has even bigger impli

Another perspective from Europe: In Germany the political climate is so bad that the domestic intelligence publicly confirms on social media that they have person so and so on their radar. This had no consequences. Let that sink in. In such

Cloud providers make their money with the high bandwith costs. I can get 10 gbit/s line for ~$3,000 a month with a dedicated server. That's 3 PB of data and according to AWS cloudfront calculator it would cost ~$90,000 with them..

If the server hoster supports it (Hetzner apparently does), you can enable KVM and install a previously prepared image. If the server hoster & hardware supports it, you can login remotely to the server management interface (like HP iLO)

> Musk made his endorsement of Trump on July 13, 2024. The analysis suggests that Musk did more than merely give verbal support for Trump, but also changed X's algorithm on the same date to systematically promote his own and other p

This is nonsense argument, because there are more pragmatic solutions: Turn warnings into errors for release builds, or if there is only one build type, have a policy that requires developers to remove all warnings before committing code.

How does this create variadic functions? The arity is the same, since the function signature defines the exact amount of arguments. The compiler just passes the omitted ones for you.

Wrong syntax is (and must be) an error. Totally different. The Problem in Go and Zig is that they put theory over practice: No compiler warnings is a good idea in theory, but fails in practice for things like unused variables or unused impo

So what? If they didn't hire fast, those 20% wouldn't had the job(s) in the first place. Stupidity worked in their favor. Same at Twitter. Edit: I guess that's basically what you are saying. The other comments confuse me!

I think you should rescale your ideological compass. If you just brush such inventions off the table, something is wrong. Electric motors will prevail long term, simply for the fact that ICEs can't reach their efficiency. So no need to

What's the point of ULID again? People say one use case of UUIDs is that clients are able to generate the (random) primary key. Fair enough, I guess... Then they say autoincremental ids are bad because it could give indication about bu

I agree that the puzzles alone are not enough, that's why I wrote "in a made up world where those puzzles play a part in". We are not looking for a superhuman, but for the (or a) mechanism of intelligence, which we can then t

Why does an AGI need to have any knowledge about our reality? The principle behind an AGI should work just as well on a made up world where those puzzles play a part in.

The thing is: Even if one can disable this "feature"... Who guarantees that Microsoft will not enable it again by some update or suddenly introduce a remote version which is enabled by default? Microsoft can not be trusted anymore

This is stupid argument. He/She was talking about something relative, that is, relative to what it was 5, 10, 15, 20 years ago. You can't come along and pick some worse example from another place. With the same logic you could say

10k reward is a joke. Reminds me of the guy who found you can submit a sitemap for a different domain in Google Webmaster Tools (if the site suffers from open redirect issues). You would then get huge search traffic for a brand new domain.

This is what they say in their announcement of Grok: > A unique and fundamental advantage of Grok is that it has real-time knowledge of the world via the 𝕏 platform. You disagree with that?
