It makes sense to me to have a system like this in a platform like Twitter. Though if it's falsely flagging new genuine accounts then the system definitely needs a revision. But to completely delete it? It seems like they're just

Eeh. It seems like Musk strategy for X (formerly known as Twitter) is to remove and remove any feature that might be used by third parties to drive people away from Twitter. Presumably, I think, he does this so that people will stay on Twit

So. I think we ought to look at this issue from two perspectives. Many times I see this conflated when commenting TikTok. First, we should talk about the "tiktok rush" as one would call it, the immense algorithmic power the platfo

Averages are bad whenever the distribution is not normal, which tends to be the case for a lot of social/real world scenarios. But everyone knows what the average means. It's useful to push certain narratives to a mass population

Yeah, I agree that technology in Australian mines is the best in the world. But you need to think about how the aussie economy is becoming dependent on these minerals, how much longer until some kind of revolution makes the world less depen

Because everyone in their circle has iPhones and they might literally get bullied should they buy an android phone. For teens, these things matter. Being part of the norm matters. When your crush asks for your number you will be dreading th

Damn. Australia has fallen hard, I guess because lithium has become such a profitable export.

But those are exactly the issues people brought up when twitter was being sold to a single individual? I guess we hang out in different circles.

Patents were supposed to foster innovation but over time it just hasn't worked that way. I think, though, that a lot of these issues are failures that show us the flaws on our political systems. There's so many of these "thin

I remember reading that this would be not allowed under the European legislation. Interesting.

Now reading things a bit more carefully, I'm a bit confused about how this system works and mostly how you interact with it outside of reddit. They offer a very basic API to just get amount of tokens for a user in a subreddit, which

I think this is a genuine use for the blockchain. Ideas like these have been around the "WEB3" space for a while, I remember a few years ago I was a part of "cent" which had a blockchain-based upvote system. The only iss

Simple: Ferrari is a luxury brand. Luxury thrives on constricting supply. Lots of luxury brands in the fashion industry literally burn down their excess supply. I wonder what happens to unsold Ferrari cars.

Although this is obviously great news, it is increasingly troubling how AI innovation (from the hardware sector) is pretty much limited to Nvidia. I haven't really gotten too much into it, so I'm not sure how has Nvidia come to ab

Yes. There's a limit to how much people will take but usually people are wiling to put up with a lot. One example is my ISP, they have an awful customer service portal... but honestly? It's rare when I see any service that has a g

There's too much there to unpack, it's not like there is one shared reason I don't think. I do agree that phone keyboards are not as good as they used to be, I think a big part of this is that they're pushing for certain

Pretty sure this has been solved in other countries by allowing sectorial unions (so in this case all delivery drivers would be in one union and they negotiate collectively regardless of the particular business they work for). But I don&#x2

Although Valve promised to release the steamOS image publicly they still haven't done so officially. I believe companies like Asus or Lenovo would greatly benefit from putting steamOS on their consoles instead of spending their own dev

You know how the USA has a President? Switzerland has 7. What is the role of the CEO? Is it to make decision? Is it to be a public facing role, a representative of the company as a whole? These can all be replaced with collective bodies com

Whatever their ambitions are, it doesn't seem to be something that's doing the world very well. Inequality is increasing, climate change is boiling us alive. Houses keep getting more and more unaffordable... These people only work

Tumblr was supposed to implement activity pub protocol. I wonder if that's still in their plans.

So fun! Thank you very much for bringing this up. If I don't forget about it I think I'll make good use of it :)

There's really not much to it in this "article". But I do have a thought about it, I think one of the reasons Apple is so interested in local-device AI is simply because they've done the math and to have a cloud-ai for t

As far as I know, I didn't get any sort of update of terms and services once Musk took over. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a the username that you've had for 16 years on a platform to keep being yours? I mean

More like entitled to it? In reality, this person entered a contract with a company that no longer exists; the previous company let him keep the handle for 15 years. I understand, and I think everyone understands, that Musk has every right

Someone else has already posted a good source for it. But I just wanted to add here that the Heritage Foundation is a conservative think tank particularly known for pushing "free-market economics" (read as: neoliberal policies of

Sorry, my bad. Point still stands though, services don't necessarily need to be profitable because they're there for a different reason.

There is a lab in South Korea that claims to have discovered/developed superconductor that works at room (and higher) temperatures. This kind of discovery would be worth a Nobel prize and would probably give us access to a whole range

Yes. This is correct. Though the extent of it really matters, I always hear "Norway is a capitalist country" when their economy is primarily in the hands of the state, more than for example Venezuela. But people tend to point to V
