  1. Mar 7, 2023Twitter · reply@mechanical_monk lol such a culture gap, here in DC it's very normal to ask! For one thing you need to know so you don't pay for the wrong person's drinks and violate lobbying rules.
  2. Mar 7, 2023Twitter · repostRT @tasshinfogleman: love, true love, unconditional love defies reason and common sense, circumstance and the semblance of sanity, but it h…Archive text may be incomplete
  3. Mar 7, 2023Twitter · reply@CrazyFrogBing @growing_daniel oh wow, harsh! I think it's a good new pfp
  4. Mar 7, 2023Twitter · reply@LastNPCAlex love the recent art 😍
  5. Mar 7, 2023Twitter · reply@deepfates lol "soothing" ... fates the bookseller *would* read LW before bed 🤭
  6. Mar 7, 2023Twitter · reply@RokoMijic @yacineMTB well yeah exactly, it's triage every day I assume lol
  7. Mar 7, 2023Twitter · reply@felurian8 haha I do trust the Safety ppl truly mean ainotkillusall - and that's the scenario, if real, that I agree justifies extreme measures. Other possible disruptions and dystopic scenarios are separate conversations about how bad is the outcome and how can we mitigate it.
  8. Mar 7, 2023Twitter · reply@RokoMijic @yacineMTB it wouldn't kill Twitter directly but it would be a total waste of paying their salaries when they could be doing useful work on revenue-generating changes
  9. Mar 7, 2023Twitter · reply@RokoMijic @yacineMTB yeah all options are bad but a total rewrite is the highest risk of killing Twitter entirely
  10. Mar 7, 2023Twitter · reply@felurian8 Half measures are unacceptable to both sides- if p(doom) is tiny / none then it IS a competition to control the outcome... if xrisk is high we should take extreme measures to halt progress... half and half just results in doom a bit later or China winning (depending who's right)
  11. Mar 7, 2023Twitter · reply@RokoMijic @yacineMTB I don't think that's the sort of PoC you need tho. Some internal numbers would help analyze approx cloud vs DC costs for like, how much cost / savings there... but the whole thing is just a terrible idea, if you really wanted a rewrite you'd do it piecemeal
  12. Mar 7, 2023Twitter · repostRT @QuintinPope5: @robbensinger @EigenGender This makes mind design space: - smaller than you'd expect - more similar to humans than you'd…Archive text may be incomplete
  13. Mar 7, 2023Twitter · reply@RokoMijic @yacineMTB lol no I am telling you this is not 20 ppl and it would need to be a strong team- everything-at-once is risky bec if one part goes wrong or is late the whole thing is derailed, you can't just throw interns at it.

  17. Mar 7, 2023Twitter · quote@pusydsrdr @profoundlyyyy lol if you wanna dig into the archives you could make a decent case... lmao https://x.com/mimi10v3/status/1447803719471575040
  18. Mar 7, 2023Twitter · reply@RokoMijic @yacineMTB and doing this at the same time as keeping existing platform running & not losing users & trying to eke out more revenue... where do you put your best engineers?
  19. Mar 7, 2023Twitter · reply@RokoMijic @yacineMTB hahahah I mean you need backend data & services / 3x UIs + analytics & ads / the various APIs & firehose / internal tools team, some PMs and QA and SREs, probs someone just working the migration plan.. but scary part would be the undocumented unknown unknowns
  20. Mar 7, 2023Twitter · reply@RokoMijic @yacineMTB I seriously seriously doubt 20 ppl / 1 yr could build a replacement Twitter that would meet all existing use cases, regulations, scale, and migration needs. It's not just a lines-of-code problem.
  21. Mar 7, 2023Twitter · reply@ESYudkowsky lol that last panel needs to say AI Waifus, but yeah
  22. Mar 7, 2023Twitter · reply@RokoMijic @yacineMTB lol, the overwhelming factor here is tech debt and complexity of existing system... a total all-at-once rewrite just sets off alarm bells... lol I don't have the numbers but I've been through enough projects for big clients w legacy systems... just no
  23. Mar 7, 2023Twitter · reply@RokoMijic @yacineMTB lol I may be overthinking it bec my work has been on kinda the edge case of ddos mitigation & analytics in the backbone ... but like, scaling is not trivial
  24. Mar 7, 2023Twitter · reply@RokoMijic @yacineMTB I mean depends how you calculate... I've seen ppl port to Cloud, or cloud to serverless, at the last min bec some Architect decreed it... and the way they were ported was severely suboptimal for performance bec no time to rewrite to use features of the platform
  25. Mar 7, 2023Twitter · reply@RokoMijic @yacineMTB also the politics of running a global social media app- you have data sovereignty & compliance crap that varies a lot, it's not just a single problem to solve but like, a tangled nightmare w existing relationships & status quo you might not wanna disrupt
  26. Mar 7, 2023Twitter · reply@RokoMijic @yacineMTB also, what you would do if you were building greenfield isn't necessarily what's best given existing infrastructure & presumably certain time sensitive data feeds
  27. Mar 7, 2023Twitter · reply@RokoMijic @yacineMTB Cloud providers are there to make money lol!!! There's always a markup you can save by cutting out the middleman and you're kinda constrained by their platform... is ofc worth it if you're smaller- don't have the scale to justify DIY- but at Twitter scale 🤷‍♀️
  28. Mar 7, 2023Twitter · reply@PageSeverian 😍 🙏
  29. Mar 7, 2023Twitter · reply@RokoMijic @yacineMTB I do not believe the employee bloat was all engineers lol... reports of many meetings to get approval to change an icon (excessive management hierarchy), the moderation team & policy ppl, and ppl just bing chilling bec of general dysfunction...
  30. Mar 7, 2023Twitter · reply@RokoMijic @yacineMTB kinda yeah / kinda nah... like, from all reports it's overly complex, has dumb quirks you wouldn't have chosen except by incremental change, a startling lack of tests / institutional knowledge / process for smooth updates, and running on their own tuned hardware in twitter DCs
  31. Mar 6, 2023Twitter · reply@RokoMijic @yacineMTB eh. if you were starting fresh you'd build it on new tech stack, pay a hellacious cloud bill as you scaled and shifted to more custom performant architecture... but to slap it onto entirely new stack & rewritten codebase at full scale, I'd quit before I'd put myself thru that
  32. Mar 6, 2023Twitter · reply@GreyMindMatters awwww 🫶🫶🫶
  33. Mar 6, 2023Twitter · reply@RokoMijic @yacineMTB It's an ad platform & firehose data platform as well... the scale is massive and ppl spend enough time here to notice & become accustomed to every detail... idk I'd do any rewrites piecemeal not the whole thing
  34. Mar 6, 2023Twitter · reply@7te7_ @GSSPmusic @Nominus9 @foomagemindset I'm so sorry your book did not arrive in the expected condition, JJ! I'm sure @amazon will follow up with you for a refund; we care deeply about our customers! 🫶
