Can we pin someone else's tweet to our profile? twitter.com/slyphon/status…

@grhmc LoTW?

@thinkingfish @elonmusk now he's going to fire the person who finally figured out how to make him believe he isn't the problem so he can calm the fuck down a bit.

@elonmusk I think you are mixing up “user not in timeline cache because they are not active” with “tweet not delivered”. For fanout service, the miss ratio has historically been 95% or higher due to the former. This means the fanout action has no effect, doesn’t mean service malfunction.

Long day at Twitter HQ with eng team Two significant problems mostly addressed: 1. Fanout service for Following feed was getting overloaded when I tweeted, resulting in up to 95% of my tweets not getting delivered at all. Following is now pulling from search (aka Earlybird). When Fanout crashed, it would also destroy anyone else’s tweets in queue. 2. Recommendation algorithm was using absolute block count, rather than percentile block count, causing accounts with many followers to be dumped, even if blocks were only 0.1% of followers. Also, it’s trivial to bot spam accounts with blocks.

@kpk @DrJorts disposable income and mostly a software control loop nerd? Hottop KN-8828B-2K+ (sweet maria's might be still selling it) coupled with artisan-scope.org to experiment and learn at home. proper ventilation is very important both for your safety, and comfort above ~150gr.

@kpk @DrJorts book: amazon.com/dp/164611857X buy greens from sweet maria's in oakland sweetmarias.com depending on your budget and commitment level either start with an air or stove top roaster, so if this is your thing you can move to a drum roaster, later.

@matthew_d_green @sweis this is Intel's response to AMD's--in my opinion--superior option: SEV-SNP. certainly took AMD a few years to make it to where they are, along with some help from Google, but it is a neat+sane platform to run attestable VMs. GCP's confidential computing product uses it.

@matthew_d_green @sweis unlike SGX, you don't need to tailor the code you need to run in a TDX VM. operationally there are new things to learn e.g. how to remotely attest a VM, how to deploy, etc; but at least you can run unmodified binaries in it. TDX relies on SGX but is not a super set of it.

I don’t know what’s going to happen first: SGX makes its way into some part of every blockchain system, or Intel removes every scrap of evidence that SGX ever existed.

@wickman report back when you get a chest freezer big enough to fit the deer you hunted. /cc @skr

i am now “garage freezer dad” years old

@thesonjake @stevegury @marius @kdspaul this is the first photographic evidence showing @marius is what @stevegury morphs into after copious amount of alcohol. #nerdjekyllandhyde

@kpk it was @morfca's first guess.

@bd Lol, I tested that too.

date +%G 2022 so, it's not it.

@marius @JorgeO @jarredsumner and honestly that's when marius hit his career plateau. poor dude didn't get promoted anymore after twitter-util and finagle. (/s)

@JorgeO @jarredsumner This is too generous. I got lucky in finding a pareto-optimal point on the "what I care about" vs. "what the company needs" curve.

@durumcrustulum don't do this to yourself. give nix (on macos) a try.

me: [brew reinstall llvm] < later > me: oh no

@ufukalan i took 49 days as the benchmark, but the live streamed lettuce was at best 6 days old (oct 14 to 20). so we can say he certainly lasted longer than the lettuce.

@bd so he also lost to lettuce?

not even 3 scaramuccis.

@sweis looks like 2023 won't be the year of the linux desktop either.

I am impressed how well Passkeys (FIDO2 multi-device support) work. I think it will be a security & usability gain over the status quo. Support is baked into Chrome and iOS now: blog.chromium.org/2022/12/introd… developer.apple.com/passkeys/ Here's a demo site: passkeys.io

@chrisrohlf @tqbf bud, this is your weirdest against the grain crusade. you genuinely don't believe elon's twitter is feeling or acting beholden to those basic rules and liability? he's running this shit like a 6th grader's minecraft server.

@tqbf Still here. No interest in ‘community’ infrastructure not subject to any basic rules or liability the industry has fought decades for.

Feels a bit like security people have almost fully migrated off Twitter now. That happened fast.

@durumcrustulum the one true space whale

I love space whale
