he talks about groups of human beings as if they were animals. if you are ok with that, fine. but that’s what he is doing

> Some people are more corrupt than others. Otherwise Argenina would be Germany

did Argentina kill 6 million jews?

exactly the same for me (but I gave after 5 weeks, because I didnt felt any different and hated everything about sleeping with the cpap)

the speed at which depletion happened was probably not the same

lets see... what country in the region actually has nuclear weapons? Could it be the same country that is conducting genocide in Gaza, displacing hundreds of thousands in Lebanon, and allowing settlers to do pogroms in the west bank?

history? people with moral integrity?

you keep your own moral integrity

Have you heard what people like Ben-Gvir say?

I think that if you start an unjustified war of agression against a country and you kill 150 children, you should be held responsible

I think reducing what LLMs do to « typing » is misleading. If it was just typing, you could simply use speech-to-text. But LLMs do far more than that, they shape the code itself. And I think we lose something when we delegate that work to LLMs

ActivityPub supports a less compelling user experience for many people: you only have a partial view of the network (you won’t see all the replies to the posts of people you follow on other servers), no global search, etc

In the ATProto architecture, this function is handled by the AppView, which monitors the full network and produces the corresponding aggregates.

Israel an the US are a single entity when it comes to security matters in the middle east. It was already the de facto regional power.

absolutely. it’s even in the design paper, when they discuss the AppView the authors say it’s “less decentralized than alternatives” and yet you can’t say that without bsky fans getting mad.

there are already independent relays running. a full relay (which is open source software) costs around 30 USD per month to operate

When you state that "European social safety nets are pretty damn generous" it seems to imply that someone else, rather than the Europeans themselves, is being generous and footing the bill.

“ Meanwhile you could transfer $25k in crypto to Dubai”

Thats a use case 99.99999999999999999% of humanity does not care at all about.

He is probably more of a menace now than before tho

“In reality, I don't see much appetite for using someone else's distributed key-value JSON schema design. The value add isn't clear enough.”

the value is that you’d start with an already existing full network of users

The “fail whale” was a thing years before Elon’s acquisition.

Do you believe that language should remain unchanged, or that it should evolve only for reasons beyond conscious intention?

As an immigrant in Canada, I have observed a relentless increase in anti-immigration discourse. While there are valid critiques of current immigration policies, the conversation too often carries a racist undertone.

Its not a war, its punishment against a whole population because of the actions of a group.

It could be a thing. Not for individual tinkerers but for companies. The fact that today, with already 14 million users, is still possible for an individual to host it is amazing.

Uh, it is not required. You can run only a PDS if you want to self host your data and everything will work.

But it is indeed very cool that you can actually host a relay if you want (for fun, learning, or whatever reason)

What, in practice, was too crazy and left in the Biden administration? (Honestly asking)

The thing is, high executives have become a self-perpetuating class entrenched in corporate boards, this is the reason CEOs comoensation keeps skyrocketing, not supply and demand. And this entrenchment obviously also stifles accountability.

I think it is a totally different threat. Excluding adversarial behavior, humans usually produce information with a quality level that is homogeneous (from homogeneously sloppy to homogeneously rigurous).

AI otoh can produce texts that are quite accurate globally with some totally random hallucinations here and there. It makes it quite harder to identify

How on earth could that be surprising?

They say in the article they tried to force 1000 random users to convert to paying account and none of them did
