Thank you so much! Very cool, and as fascinating an accompaniment to this article as expected. Chrome does a decent job translating this over to English.
Interesting how this summer all we heard from Musk was how Twitter was overflowing with bots and spam, but now that he runs the place he sure spends a lot of time bragging about all-time high "user" counts.
Interestingly, my reports on racist posts are being accepted much more often than they were before, so this is in fact not happening.
The site was also consumed in horrific discourse for the last week (topic being "is making chili for your neighbor racist, ableist and oppressing autistic people?") so all in all it seems to behaving as usual.
Exactly what kind of views do you think moderates were worried about not being tolerated? Going by the definition of the term it seems unlikely that anyone, much less millions, was previously deterred by policy.
He wasn’t banned (only suspended for a few hours) and that was directed at a single trans person. That last part is almost certainly the reason why he got that warning unlike the many people who have generically expressed similar beliefs.
Their previous CEO said they saw on the order of 500k bot signup attempts daily, and the reports last week specifically mentioned layoffs affecting those teams and things like reporting. Put that together and I’d be careful about comparing numbers before and after this month since they’re almost certainly not measuring the same thing.
Catastrophe tourism. Also, contrary to Elon’s shitty graph with cut off y-axis (can we stop doing that?), that’s like a 1% change around a major American event.
> Empty your mind.
Be formless, shapeless, like water.
You put water into a cup; it becomes the cup.
You put it into a teapot; it becomes the teapot.
You put water into a bottle; it becomes the bottle.
Now water can flow, or it can crash!
Be water, my friend.
Sadly C and C++ have aliasing rules, so casting a pointer to another type is often UB instead of having the underlying memory take the form of the new type.
There are some zen quotes and teachings that compare our minds to the contents of a cup vs the vessel (body). In Daoism you have the yin/yang aspects. Afaik The quote seems to be his.
That quote is indeed his. I listened to Shannon Lee's (his daughter) podcast, and she told the story of when he understood it.
Apparently when his martial arts teacher told him he was too forceful, to be more like water, and then banned him from practicing until he understood. Short story, he went on a boat ride, got angry, started punching the river, then he got that aha moment.
Bruce Lee was actually a really wise dude. I also highly recommend the podcast.
Tools like the command line and exercise equipment help improve capability and personal agency. Hiding either away pushes the default toward passive consumption.
Even though I agree with you on a personal level, this kind of thinking does not lead to mainstream adoption. If there were a Linux distro that "just worked", we could have the best of both worlds. Unfortunately, this does not seem to be something that will happen in the foreseeable future.
I'd love for a company like System76 to come out with such a solution, but it is certainly an expensive, difficult endeavour.
> "[Mother Teresa] was not a friend of the poor. She was a friend of poverty. She said that suffering was a gift from God. She spent her life opposing the only known cure for poverty, which is the empowerment of women and the emancipation of them from a livestock version of compulsory reproduction."
-Christopher Hitchens [0]
> In 2013, in a comprehensive review[8] covering 96% of the literature on Mother Teresa, a group of Université de Montréal academics reinforced [criticism of medical care], detailing, among other issues, the missionary's practice of "caring for the sick by glorifying their suffering instead of relieving it, ... her questionable political contacts, her suspicious management of the enormous sums of money she received, and her overly dogmatic views regarding, in particular, abortion, contraception, and divorce". Questioning the Vatican's motivations for ignoring the mass of criticism, the study concluded that Mother Teresa's "hallowed image – which does not stand up to analysis of the facts – was constructed, and that her beatification was orchestrated by an effective media relations campaign" engineered by BBC journalist Malcolm Muggeridge, who shared her anti-abortion views.

I do miss Christopher Hitchens. He could have written a hit piece on anyone in the world. He later did one on Henry Kissinger, but not until he got Mother Teresa out of the way first.
No antagonism. The comment claimed that they have bought an equivalent vechicle, I am wondering what that vechicle is, because to my knowledge there aren't really any good competitors to Tesla, if you consider the combination of the quality (-ish, it's decent), software, battery tech, driving performance and price.
I didn’t claim I bought an equivalent vehicle. I bought a vehicle which just “works”. And I avoided all the Tesla build quality issues.
I have a gas car / hybrid for the 100mile+ road trips we take once every 60 days.
And I have an EV for the daily driver. Nissan Leaf has more than enough range (for daily driving) cost 6-7k, insurance is $20/month, and I’ve yet to have any maintenance issues.
