I SHOULD KEEP MY DUMB MOUTH SHUT INSTEAD OF SPEWING HORSESHIT ABOUT THE ORBITAL MECHANICS OF THE JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT A LAGRANGE POINT IS?

Wasn’t Twitter supposed to have new tools for advertised to prevent this?

Ars Technica posted:

Advertisers: X sensitivity settings aren’t working

As soon as Yaccarino joined X, she vowed to introduce more robust tools so that advertisers have more control over ad placements. Those AI-based tools, called "sensitivity settings," were recently rolled out, allegedly allowing advertisers to block their ads from appearing next to a wider range of content than ever.

But sources told Forbes that those sensitivity settings "have not worked as promised" and "did not appear to stop ads placed by Apple, Bravo, Oracle, Xfinity, and IBM" from appearing "next to posts touting Hitler and the Nazi Party." Now advertisers are mad not just over brand damage evidenced in Media Matters' reports, one source told Forbes, but also about X's "failure to again deliver on another of its promises of protection." According to XDaily, one issue with the sensitivity settings could be that the automated tools "aren’t able to determine if the content in images is antisemitic."

the other way around, i thought? that the accounts were older than 30 days and so past the new user safety barriers

You are correct. I missed that detail it was 30 days old so didn’t have the new user filter but didn’t yet have the white supremacist tag despite viewing lots of white supremacist content so instead of getting tailored ads, it got brand ads. or they did have the tag and were getting tailored ads but just refreshed until it failed to give them a tailored one and gave them a brand one.

Musk’s facts are too dumb to be faked but I just don’t think they make a difference. they are leaning really hard into the fraud part of tortious interference even though this is very much not fraud.

even with a bsky account this is a pain to read. who at bsky thought it was a good idea to continually force the user to click "more" every 10 skeets to read a long thread? it's like those articles that force you to click "show more" halfway down the page, except you have to click 15 times to read the article.

Yeah up and until the platform just becomes unusable for regular people it will continue to attract ad dollars. Doesn't mean the platform will ever become profitable but advertisement is entirely amoral once public perception shifts away for even a second.

So stress concentrations typically take place in sharp corners or bends of materials such as glass or steel, and that's why for instance airplane windows are so rounded, to distribute the forces more evenly. Well anyway, I'm sure the truck built with all sharp edges will be fine
