    Elon Musk replies to post by far-right Austrian linked to Christchurch terrorist after X account restored | Elon Musk | The Guardian
    https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/mar/19/elon-musk-replies-x-twitter-martin-sellner-far-right-identitarian-movement-christchurch-terrorist-attack
    Dr Josh Roose, an expert in extremism at Deakin university, said Sellner’s account is the latest in a long line of far-right accounts, including the leader of the National Socialist Network in Australia, being allowed back on X under Musk.

    “Coincidentally all of them in some way, shape or form interacted with Brenton,” he said.

    “Now that these groups have come back and since they’ve been allowed back on the platform, they all follow each other’s accounts and they’ve linked internationally. So that’s also enabled the movement to build links and build contacts.”

    ...
    In January, Australia’s eSafety commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, revealed that, based on data provided to her by X between November 2022 and May 2023, X had reinstated 6,103 Australian accounts, including 194 that were suspended for violating what was then X’s hateful conduct policy.

    “A number of these reinstated users were previously banned for online hate,” Inman Grant said at the time. If you let the worst offenders back on while at the same time significantly reducing trust and safety personnel … there are clear concerns about the implications for the safety of users.”

    Jen pár info o projektu LOON, který byl Googlem terminován v roce 2021 (zřejmě se nevyplnila předpověď návratnosti jako dle studie uvedené na konci):

    How do Loon balloons work?

    The balloons were maneuvered by adjusting their altitude in the stratosphere to float to a wind layer after identifying the wind layer with the desired speed and direction using wind data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).


    What happened to Google Loon balloons?

    See our ethics statement. Alphabet's Loon project, which aimed to provide internet via a series of balloons, was shut down last year (2021) — but the tech associated with it has been spun off into a startup that ditches the floating platforms and aims to use lasers and the cloud to provide internet to remote places.


    How much does a Loon balloon cost?

    Using a systems engineering approach, an analysis was performed to determine the viability of
    Google’s ‘Project Loon’; a system of high altitude balloons creating a moveable and adaptable
    internet network. The scope of the project was determined based on its mission statement: “to provide
    internet access to rural and poor areas” (Google, n.d.). Australia and India were selected to be case
    study locations when discussing the feasibility of Project Loon. The material makeup of each balloon
    was assessed and an energy audit found each balloon had 70225MJ of embodied energy and an
    estimated initial cost of $17870. Over a five year period the total cost per balloon was determined to
    be $40318. To run at no cost to Google each customer would have to pay between $833.19 and
    $1.86 for the two considered scenarios assuming a 5% take-up rate by users. Due to the relationship
    between internet access and wealth it is recommended that Google implement Project Loon at no
    cost to users as the company would indirectly profit from more users due to advertisement revenue.
    At 5% take-up rate Australia is not a viable location for this project as only 13.5% of the ongoing cost
    would be covered. India however, would result in Project Loon generating $96.1 million in
    advertisement revenue, covering its total cost by 6046.1%. Furthermore Project Loon would provide
    valuable infrastructure to the company ensuring a larger customer base for future projects. (James Burr's study)

    The SEC is accelerating the renewable energy transition by investing in one of the world’s biggest battery projects – the Melbourne Renewable Energy Hub (MREH).

    The Hub will be comprised of three battery components totalling 600 megawatts in size and is being developed in partnership with renewable energy investor Equis Australia. Tesla will supply the batteries and Samsung will supply the remaining components of the storage system.

    Once complete the Hub will deliver 1.6 gigawatt hours of energy storage, with potential to expand. That’s enough to power around 200,000 homes during peak evening consumption.

    The Sicilian Irish Robot
    @misteryrobozo
    Some people asked me to share what I just shared in a space about the rate limits. I don't work for Twitter but, I do architect IT cloud solutions as my day job.

    It is temporary. Twitter's rate limiting is not what everyone is thinking it is. It is not to punish non-paying users.

    "Data scraping" is a big deal. This is where automated systems load the website or app and pull your tweets/data. It's a huge security issue. Automated systems are pulling every tweet/word/user account information to store in an unknown database somewhere else.

    This could be state actors like China, the US Government, Australia, or other bad political actors like PAC's that are trying to gain access to everyone's information to analyze and use for nefarious things. Manipulating what is said on the site can be done at scale with data scrapping.

    It could also be used to figure out the identity of Anons or to punish people in their country for what they tweet. Looking at you #Australia and #Canada and #UnitedKingdom

    The temporary measures of limiting tweets is to protect users just as much as it is to protect the entire Twitter network from going down. They are currently scrambling to get ahead of this and tune their network security to block it from happening again.

    It's also important to note that twitter has 500,000+ servers. That's not free. In cloud data centers, the companies that use them have to pay for what is called "ingress and egress" of data going "in and out" of the servers. A data scrapping event that is large enough for them to start limiting means that it was a MASSIVE event that could be considered an attack on the site. It would also put massive load on their servers and cost them so much money it could threaten the site's financial ability to keep running. It could be on purpose to put twitter out of business from cost alone.

    Many people are misunderstanding why
    @elonmusk
    wants people to pay for twitter or for the twitter API (a programming interface that can pull data for other sites and apps).

    The reason he wants people to pay is because if China or porn companies want to create massive bot farms of fake accounts, it is currently free. These bad actors are highly skilled and operate like a business. They have professional staff that continuously change their tactics and Twitter engineers have to fight 24/7 to stay ahead of them. If they have to pay for every account or pay to use the API, it would cost them A LOT of money. This limits the amount of people who could create bots, put automated porn on here, and the hacking/scrapping/DDOS attacks on the site. It protects you.

    It also guarantees twitter will continue to exist without bloating it with tons of ads. This is all a part of the plan to create a free-speech place we can enjoy without being controlled by outside actors or advertising companies. I know $8 is a lot to some people but, it is for many reasons. None of the reasons are to hurt or punish people.

    Google tvrdí (jde tedy o roční příjmy).

    These 10 countries have the highest-paid general cargo truck drivers (U.S. dollars).

    Switzerland: $70,452.
    Australia: $53,951.
    Belgium: $50,462.
    Norway: $47,572.
    United States: $47,130.
    Germany: $46,871.
    Netherlands: $46,865.
    Austria: $46,217.

    Srovnejte si s cenou kamionu (a jeho nákladu) sami.

    How much does an Uber driver earn in different countries?
    https://gmdirecthire.co.uk/blog/how-much-does-an-uber-driver-earn-in-different-countries

    Řidič Uberu bere v Indii 3 libry za hodinu. To je plus minus kilo. Amortizaci taxíku v městském provozu tedy odhaduju na víc, než kilo za hodinu, ale můžu se mýlit. V USA je to až pětkrát tolik - což je zhruba to, co jsem řekl, autopilot může vytlačit řidiče Uberu v USA, ale asi ne v Indii.

    Samozřejmě, pokud výrobci,vývojáři a provozovatelé různých AI pro samořídící auta chtějí shrábnout globální trh úplně globálně, je možné, že jako vedlejší efekt budou kromě řidičů v bohatých zemích vytlačeni řidiči z trhu i v chudých zemích. Může to mít nečekané důsledky: můžem si třeba myslet, že když zanikne (relativně) nekvalifikované dobře placené pracovní místo na Západě, že se tím sníží motivace ekonomických běženců - ale zánik (z našeho hlediska) špatně placených pracovních míst v rozvojových zemích může motivaci ekonomických běženců zvýšit. Zaměstnáme je u nás všechny, aby programovali ještě lepší AI? Nebo se ta lepší AI už dokáže naprogramovat a zlepšovat sama? :-)
