If you read it as well and deem this paper of good quality I suppose we can just agree to disagree and move on what can I say. I believe in following the truth wherever it may lead not fitting data to politically motivated conclusions which this work is very clearly doing, sad state of affairs.
How so?
You're free to believe whatever you wish about me, only the actual issues raised are what matters, not the person raising them.
> It's not about the trucker convoy, no.
This is far more important than whether or not I personally rub you the wrong way. It means the paper is not legitimate.
> when it's simple to find the definition just by searching
I didn't just search, I actually read it. Stare at the paragraph again:
> Figure 2: Overall hate speech on Twitter increased after Elon Musk bought the platform. Number of hateful tweets sam- pled during each week in 2022, compared to a baseline of tweets collected during the same time period. The spike in March, 2022 coincides with the Canada convoy protests.
Look at the chart and this description and tell me you don't understand the problem here.
On what basis? How is it not an arbitrary event? There is absolutely nothing else in the paper about this event.
> May I ask if you're seeking to understand this paper or to criticize it? Because it kinda feels like when your objections were addressed you came up with some more of them?
Is that not what you're supposed to do with papers? Is this a study or marching orders?
OK. Why? A lot of things happened around then. Why mention the trucker convoy specifically?
> They define baseline pretty clearly.
How would a chart look like zoomed out to multiple years?
> There's a noticable spike approximately in April and another one around August
> Was that caused by the trucker protests? No idea. But there are lots of interesting looking spikes in this chart.
Precisely. They simply marked two occasions they don't like. Might as well correlate with mercury being in retrograde.
What is the baseline? The mean? The year over year? Look at the numbers about 100+-50 "bad" tweets on a given month.. this isn't a serious effort, I am embarrassed on their behalf.
As the presence of hate words does not guarantee that the text is hateful, we utilize the Perspective API, a family of models used for detecting toxic content, to further filter our data
The spike in March, 2022 coincides with the Canada convoy protests.
These sort of "studies" will hurt the credibility of researches longer term.
Instead of MediaPipe try training a simple NN with a quickstart asking new players to assume the positions for fine tuning? :P

The sequels however cleverly mixed in a dose of politics and empire building, it isn't part of the religions per-se.

You don't actually need to read it, just look at it. This is the only way it will look going forward. Like Discord or some such.
I am not a redditor but find it useful for search results sometimes - this just feels unusable.

I didn't spend hours watching YouTube reviews comparing soldering irons for nothing. This is $70 well spent.
In case anybody thinks I am being sarcastic, I am actually not. Look into it, worth it.
He doesn't do anything in private as Berkshire has so much money all their moves are public and well known. The advice is true but fits another era, read his autobiography.

Yeah, the cigarette butts. He had ~$10 million by age 30. Incidentally he amassed this as the the son of a congressman, had a rich auntie, and was in very good social standing in a small wealthy town (Omaha). And it was 1960.
By 1960, Buffett operated seven investment partnerships. He asked one of his partners, a doctor, to find ten other doctors willing to invest $10,000 each in his partnership. Eventually, eleven agreed, and Buffett pooled their money with a mere $100 original investment of his own.Be warned on clicking yonder hyperlinks least ye be similarly afflicted!

At this price point it actually has nothing to do with grinding on battery tech and scale manufacturing, the limiting factor is physics. You can only make it so aerodynamic before you hit diminishing returns or it stops looking like a car. You can only make it so lightweight. And so forth.
This is vaguely as good as it can get and we can say that because we understand how it all works.
LLMs on the other hand invite all kinds of magical thinking around unlimited potential because we poked them with a stick and something interesting comes out it must mean that if we poke it just right we will get an AGI. That just doesn't logically follow from what we know of it so far.
There is plenty of history in the tech industry to show that valuations are not terribly meaningful. Theranos?
Meanwhile back in reality these things are tracked. The Tesla brand is presently the #1 car brand in the world and has done nothing but swing upwards in recent years.
The literal opposite of the fiction peddled. This makes such claims look petty to the point of derangement. What next, an invitation to stick little pins into a Musk voodoo doll?
Your contribution: herp derp Theranos.
You didn't even read what you are responding to which has zilch to do with market caps and valuations. Just copy paste "I hate Musk and am blinded by inept rage" in all these threads and be done with it.
1. Substack links were never blocked. Matt’s statement is false.
2. Substack was trying to download a massive portion of the Twitter database to bootstrap their Twitter clone, so their IP address is obviously untrusted.
3. Turns out Matt is/was an employee of Substack.
I'm sure this thread will be a level headed and interesting discussion of events and not a screech fast. You can do it HN!
Here, I'll go first:
Google and Facebook also throw their weight around, they scrape the web but don't let others scrape them. This is bad.
Twitter doing it, also bad. Pretty sure this shitty behavior is par for the course for the big tech companies and predates Elon.
The open web is on its last legs and we are in a pickle as a society.
And the absolutely embarrassing doomsaying in those threads is up for all to see. People were seriously claiming it will crash forever in a matter of weeks or even days. Later they revised it to some sort of "slowly will fall apart as the secret lore is now gone with the amazing engineers who left and the certs will expire and nobody will be able to fix it eventually". One does not simply walk into Mordor bla bla..
It was just dumb and simply wishful thinking because of a personal animosity towards Elon. Like sheesh, I get not liking the guy, but why oh why throw shade like middle school girls?
Eventually you will just get a tantrum induced aneurism. And no, I am not an Elon fanboy, don't care what happens to Twitter personally.
I'm anti-tantrums is all. Criticize him rationally without losing face by all means.
I don't know when or why adults acting emotionally fragile and wearing it like some sort of badge of honor has become fashionable.
For the record I actually think blocking substack (if that is even what is actually happening) is lame.
> This is the moral equivalent..
Girl, bye.
This is the last straw. I give up. You can find a link to my new Mastodon profile on my site.
Heh. Y'all are hilarious.
6 months in and countless predictions of imminent doom, site will collapse, everybody will leave for Mastodon, its all going to shit..
Meanwhile dude changes the logo to Doge and the building sign to Titter. I think you're taking a silly website way too seriously.
The amount of angst and bile and vitriol and hystrionics directed at Musk all while accusing him of losing his mind is just remarkable.
Edit: Elon silencing substack bad. Shut up HopenHeyHi!
Take a look in the mirror guys.
Note that I am not commenting on his behavior or defending him, I am commenting on yours.
Feel better
