> Its Reddit with a focus on anti-censorship.

"anti-censorship" is just a euphemism for a place where someone can say the N-word without being banned.

> I joined a forum in 1999 and still read it daily and post regularly. It's changed an awful lot over the years, but it is and has been for a long time an actual community, even though these days I know v few of the people on it in real life.

Hacker News? Otherwise, the hint went over my head.

> SA.

Something Awful for the uninitiated.

That depends on the job. Is the data constantly updating?

> My gripe with Observable is I can't fit into a Python-based workflow.

Observable is for JavaScript ecosystem. I wouldn't count on them implementing anything for Python.

> I joined a forum in 1999 and still read it daily and post regularly.

Which forum?

> I still post on a forum and it’s the only place on the internet I feel has any sort of community.

What forum?

Do you seriously ask this?

> It's great to talk to a press if the press has goals aligned with the company: make people more aware of a product / service.

It's also great to talk to the press when the story and the company's goals DON'T align. If a company is being investigated or impacted in some negative way, then not commenting looks worse on them.

> What would you do if you were in my situation?

If this is something that's happening over Zoom, then you're better off not attending and just watch the game at your own leisure.

The news broke overnight, when most print deadlines passed. It'll likely appear on the front page in tomorrow's papers, if that's what you're worried about. Otherwise, news organizations worldwide are currently covering it.

Kitty has been around for years. How is it just now landing on the HN front page?

A U.S. government department taking actions on behalf of the U.S. government for the U.S. population. What do you think?

Wikipedia is objective on many articles. What "bias" are you referencing?

It's a walking simulator.

Thanks for Mudlet. Which MUDs would you say still have a thriving community?

How did you find out your employee was on a MUD at all?

It's likely a scam. If the name is worth four figures now, you should continue sitting on it and see if you can turn it into a five-figure offer.

CLI or command-line interface. I've never heard anyone call it "clee."

> I know you can request access from the OpenAI site and join a waiting list, but so far I've never heard of anyone who had access.

It seems OpenAI is giving access to the API to friends and the who's-who of the machine learning world. I wouldn't count on the waiting list. If you're someone who works in the field and could benefit from GPT-3 and you know the right people, you already have access.

Don't worry about using a specific programming language to solve all problems. Use the right language for the given task.

Facebook has the lawyers to fight this. I wouldn't believe the 100 billion figure. It'll likely get reduced to a couple million.

Think of a project and start building it. One thing could be a Game of Thrones or Star Was API clone.

Perhaps it wasn't relevant to tech?

> some other smaller specialty networks as well

Like what?

> I would much rather interact with people on IRC

Which servers do you prefer?

> I don’t use twitter, and it seems to me that other OSS programmers who actively use twitter are much better connected than I am.

Many OSS people aren't on Twitter. They're on IRC, Mastodon and mailing lists.

> It's the best place I know to follow specific creators/artists. I'm interested in the work of a select group of pixel artists, game creators, and 3D modelers, I haven't found a best place to see what they are doing. Other platforms would let me follow a "pixel art" group/subreddit/tag but that's not what I want, I'm looking for the content created by some specific people, not the general topic.

Many of these artists are also likely on Instagram. But that'll require using a Facebook product, if that's not your thing.

> I've added a big list of muted words and accounts (trump, politics, gender, queer, republican, democrat, sanders, etc.).

Muting is makes using Twitter much easier, when it's working. Sometimes muted words and phrases find their way through the cracks.

> they're still people so I get their angry rants about whatever issue.

"Why X happened to me and why YOU should be enraged, a thread"

"I'm mad, so I'm going to make a thread, in hopes of it going viral and, later, can be used for my own financial gain: a thread"
