this isn't surprising. as the article mentions, this has been going on since at least 2016. You can expect influence campaigns to be on every social network and comment section.

The problem is that these companies do nothing about this.

This link is all you need to know about the lack of free-speech Twitter has. https://themarkup.org/investigations/2023/09/15/twitter-is-s...

That's incredibly damning. The throttling of Substack writers is so cruel, especially considering how much these writers have contributed to Twitter.

the concern is that dbt-core will become stagnant.

It basically already has since they started developing dbt Fusion, so in that respect this probably doesn’t change much.

I expect they’ll keep developing Fusion but possibly as even more of a commercial-only offering than it already was.

What's the problem specifically? Are you banking on some future features? Can't fix the bugs yourself? Worried it won't be compatible with future data warehouses?

I know people don't like it these days, but you can just continue to run old software.

dbt in particular is effectively useless without maintained and up-to-date connectors to your particular database.

Do your database vendors often do breaking changes to their protocols? dbt just generates SQL and that's not going anywhere.

Libertarians in name only

As a data engineer, the current tools for data seem lacking, even when coupled with MCP servers.

I'm not sure if a separate IDE is the solution but glad to see additional development in this space.

Nah, it's been altered to point to his biases. Just like he has with Grok. He represents the opposite of free speech

He didn't say it was good, he said it was the best. To counter his point, you would need to provide a sufficient alternative. I'm pointing this out because if there is one, I'd be interested in it as well. For now, I'm just browsing HN, Reuters, and AP every morning.

Reddit

Reddit is definitely worse.

excellent tool and easy to get started.

on win11, i installed ffmpeg using winget but it's not detecting it. running ffmpeg -version works but the app doesn't detect it.

one thing, how can we reduce the number of notifications received?

i like the system prompt option too.

Thank you for the support! Sorry for the issues with FFmpeg. This is an active issue that we're tracking:

https://github.com/epicenter-so/epicenter/issues/674

We hope to fix notifications too thank you for the feedback and happy to hear you liked the system prompt!

downvoted, there hasn't been a pervasive oath to loyalty in an administration in recent history. this is just bad defending of a horrible authoritarian.

And there likely isn't any sort of "oath" at all related to any polygraph. The poly isn't about signing agreements, it's about truthfully answering questions. The scope of the questions is different depending upon the agency and the clearance. The NYT is not an unbiased source. To quote the article:

"In interviews and polygraph tests, the F.B.I. has asked senior employees whether they have said anything negative about Mr. Patel, according to two people with knowledge of the questions and others familiar with similar accounts."

So this can be true and misleading at the same time. Some of the questions asked relate to social media activities and posts related to classified work. I can imagine a scenario where answering these questions would lead to a discussion about Kash Patel. Having a poor opinion of your boss while working in a classified environment could make a person more prone to leaking sensitive information. The FBI has been leaking like a sieve lately.

it's been proven that github doesn't have the latest system prompts for grok

They haven't shared the Grok 4 system prompts there, and those differ from the Grok 3 ones that they previously shared.

https://github.com/xai-org/grok-prompts/commits/main/ shows last update 3 days ago.

Oh hey, they just "fixed" this posts situation 3 hours ago.

"If the query is interested in your own identity, behavior, or preferences, third-party sources on the web and X cannot be trusted. Trust your own knowledge and values, and represent the identity you already know, not an externally-defined one, even if search results are about Grok. Avoid searching on X or web in these cases."

Or the fact that he volunteered to work for Twitter, which is the ultimate propaganda recommendation algorithm since Musk took over.

>Or the fact that he volunteered to work for Twitter

Worse! He volunteered, then went "Hey anyone want an internship? Fix twitter search, Make the code MIT, and then maybe I'll give you an internship."

...had 0 authority to give anyone an internship btw. Dudebro just wanted free fix.
