He and the entire tech ecosystem is in a bubble where being as right wing as possible is currency. Literally middle of the road liberal pg is basically a communist compared to this ecosystem now. It’s extremely short sighted on their part a

No, they're not dropping munitions, they're simply coordinating with the Israeli military to facilitate the dropping of munitions, doing everything possible save putting boots on the ground (that we know of). So you're right,

Like all defenders of the indefensible, you will shift the goalposts incessantly to suit the narrative you wish to defend. First it was, "The British military isn't doing anything in Gaza, anyone who says otherwise is lying."

I guess those Russian drones in Ukraine aren’t military combatants then?

Kahane, notably a terrorist and racial supremacist.

The UK military is and has been operating in Gaza, the UK government is just lying about it. Public flight tracking data makes it obvious.

Trump has made the idea of mafioso politics popular -- where you hold everyone hostage until they do what you want -- but that doesn't actually mean that it's good policy.

Greedy? He said revenue was down 80%.

Agreed, that is what I meant, apologies for communicating it ineffectively.

I would be money that already happens, for flagging in particular, since it's right in the line of the moderation queue. For downvotes, it sounds like significant infra would be needed for a product that generates no revenue. Agree tha

I agree with that. But one, it is on the site, and two, how can the moderation team reasonably stop bad actors from downvoting it? They can (and probably do) unflag things that have merit or put it in the 2nd chance queue.

by femiagbabiaka 10mo ago
Anecdotally I think that moderation has been a lot more lenient when it comes to political content in the last year than in years prior. I have no hard evidence that this is actually the case, but I think especially pre-2020 I'd see ve

Except in this case someone else owns the gun and they allow anyone on the planet (with an X account) to ask for someone else to be shot at will.

Any lawyers around? I would assume (IANAL) that Section 230 does not apply to content created by an agent owned by the platform, as opposed to user-uploaded content. Also it seems like their failure to create safeguards opens up the possibi

It's bad reasoning to say that I don't trust the editorial decisions of someone who cosigns that immigrants are trash?

Guessing it’s what he said in 2002? But the Tablet EIC made these remarks last week. Not really equivalent, although you’re entitled to your media choices.

personally, the editor of tablet elevating a claim that immigrants are third world trash put me off that magazine permanently

My observation is that 100m ARR in this AI economy is impressive but not particularly rare. There's a lot of hype sales and WoM sales going on.

Yeah, it's inclusion in here is baffling because none of the listed issues have anything to do with the particular issue nixpkgs is having.

Incredible anecdote, I purchased the book. In this way, the relationship between America and China is exactly like the relationship between America and the USSR was -- each trying to become the other precisely as they try to consume each ot

Possibly. I think, at the very least, Garry Tan is a true believer. He's not proposing putting this in someone else's neighborhood or city, he wants it in SF, SJ, Berkeley, etc.

Another sign of Chinese ideological dominance is that nobody can conceive of a future that does not mimic China's solutions to social problems. Trump says frequently that he's jealous of Xi's position as dictator, tech firms

I think we agree? If LLMs will be included in classroom learning at all, it has to be done with an understanding of how it will affect learning outcomes, and it’s not clear that the effect will be the same as introducing calculators was, at

The calculator analogy doesn’t really work, speaking as someone who is more of an AI booster than skeptic. The addition of calculators to the classroom necessitated a change in pedagogy. So now kids learn how to do math without them, and th

The traditional way I heard it wasn’t that it was about prestige, but rather that programming became engineering-coded rather than humanities-coded. And misogyny did play a role there, one of the Turing movies had a great story line about i

Tesla was very popular in the Chinese market and globally, including in markets where Chinese EVs aren't banned, until literally this year, which I'd argue is due in part to the trade war.

by femiagbabiaka 10mo ago
Great point, and to drive it home -- TSLA is the only competitive non-Chinese company in the EV space. You could make the argument that it's one of very few successful U.S. manufacturing company winning on purely technical/capital
