Gross, but entirely predictable, that you would hold an open-to-abuse poll to justify a totally reprehensible outcome that you have already decided upon but don’t have the guts to take personal responsibility for.

inevitable he would poll it

what's the split?

currently it's the cursed 52-48

Just leaving Twitter HQ code review pic.twitter.com/pYcXRTJm14

think ive discovered the problem, too many mixers, twitter is all mixed up!

Just lol at clicking on the embed of a proud Elon tweet about Twitter's awesome code and getting 'this tweet is not available' on the actual website (as has been the case with about half of the Twitter links I've clicked this week).

love that the “code review” was apparently doing up a quickie logical architecture of the type that i have drawn, or watched others draw, countless times over my years in IT

yeah if youre curious about how a computer program works thats really the place to start not looking at code

Don't bump the table
I'm trying to code

it’s actually pretty interesting to see it done for twitter!

i like this part

WT..?

hahhaha the dreaded bottom corner where we put the stuff that doesn’t exist yet

more twitter infrastructure research

for people blathering about “just put twitter in the cloud” we tried that. i was there. so just to put some numbers out there, let’s assume aws gave you a 60% discount. now you’re talking approximately 500,000 m6gd.12xlarge systems (new hw was bigger). that’s $300MM monthly

TBF that's what I would expect an arch diagram to look like. also I'm a bit surprised he put that on twitter for the entire world to see

also re: cloud that is a good point. cloud hosting is great if you have predictable traffic levels, less good if it fluctuates wildly and you're paying bandwidth costs.

xp to infrastructure post

1000 node presto cluster is not “keeping twitter running” that is probably some analytical junk and if the last two years have taught me anything, it is that you really need to segment “this is what keeps people doing things” and “this is how we determine what people are doing and modify that experience”

the latter is where potential exists but if it’s a zillion times larger than the former then you’re taking crazy pils

hahhaha the dreaded bottom corner where we put the stuff that doesn’t exist yet

putting money on trump making "the best deal ever" and coming back after "winning."

but i should probly read/watch/listen to trumps actual reply, which i have not.

you should never read/watch/listen to that guy

Tesla is recalling more than 321,000 vehicles in the U.S. because tail lights may intermittently fail to illuminate, the company says. https://t.co/BlEmQTLkz2

— NBC News (@NBCNews) November 19, 2022

its very funny (and good) that regulations classify bug fix updates that can be done "over the air" as recalls, it must make him so mad

tesla bring software industry practices of frequently pushing new updates to their cars is unsafe, cars need to behave in consistent predictable ways and if youre always changing the software thats not happening, even worse other companies are doing it now too

Elon is merely acting as transgressor, exploring how fast others can degrade their service.

I saw someone on Twitter make the point that Trump's deal with Truth Social (i.e. whoever actually put money into that thing, because obviously it wasn't him) require that all of his posts appear there for at least 6 hours before appearing anywhere else. Assuming that's something Trump could wriggle out of if he wanted to, it's still a useful leverage point for him to do something — like, insist Musk buy the company or something.

Trump famously loves obeying contracts.

he knows it would be a beta move to come back under these circumstances.

i dont think he can stay away hes going to make up an excuse to save face

maybe well get partial posts with a link to the truth social original or something

and he does need twitter right now with fox et al trying to shut him out he needs that megaphone

Imagine if Mussk could do for Tesla what he did for twitter - junkyards full o' telsas

Someone in that twitter thread points out that video is from 2019 and since "resolved", no idea how true that is as they dont back the claim up.

But I'm getting wary (and weary) of a lot of disinfo and "comedy" crap flying around now.

ok!
