As Mark Zuckerberg has said in 2017 :

"I'm here today because I believe that we must continue to stand for free expression," he said. "You should be able to say things that other people don't like, but you shouldn't be able to say things that put people in danger."

Because often it happens so randomly. Sometimes it takes two people to be on a natural break at the same time, hungry at the same time, or just how two people got on at a meeting.

I have found working with remote first natives that the narrowness of their knowledge is also very high. When you work in an office there is a some knowledge transfer happening having lunch with the guy in accounts or the women in the sales team. This non structured learning is missed in remote work.

But the part that should not be forgot is Jef Raskin’s book The Humane Interface. Many of the ideas in the book are only now implementable with the arrival of AI.

Also he defined the difference between computers and humans as computers been precise and accurate and humans as vague, but more flexible. We have now had a paradigm shift in that ai is now the flexible interface that sometimes hallucinates.

Is VibeDebt a term yet?

It’s actually dependent on your individual biology and the environment that you are in.

You need more hydration in hot climates than in cold damp ones. Also your activity influences how much hydration you need.

Ps I don’t think the article is about how much water you drink. (Edited to make the last sentence clearer)

How does China manage it with their censorship rules?

Is not the answer to strip the dangerous information before training? Rather than trying to add guardrails post training.

This theory comes from what Kano calls delighters. In the 1980’s Noriaki Kano came up with the a product framework called the Kano model.

Touchpoints come in three ways. Delighters as already mentioned, a popsicle delivered to your room, or a chocolate on your pillow. Then there are performance needs. In the case of a hotel this could be the quality of the view, or the case of an employee the basic wage, and then next is the basic needs. Using the hotel example this would be something like the air conditioning.

You complain if it does not work, but nobody writes a review about how perfect the aircon was.

So I wonder if the issue of the agents going rogue is due to the 15 day duration and context rot?

I wonder what they did to preserve context?

And is this just a PR exercise?

You actually have many alternative money transfer systems around the world.

Like Qvik you mention, UPI in India, Blik in Poland, and Swish in Sweden.

Even cross border systems like Revolut pay.

Surprisingly the first system started with MPESA in Kenya. Showing that innovation can happen Africa, and does not need to limited to Europe or the USA.

I understand where you’re coming from. I differ from this view. I think we can hold a dialectical view. We can recognise art that raises questions or creates problems, while also recognising design or technology that solves problems.

Human progress depends on both: defining the problem and solving it.

Where is the harm? You can be in both worlds at the same time.

If we think of Leonardo da Vinci he created both art that created problems, and inventions that solved problems. But these world where very separate.

I was always told that the difference between art and design is that the artist creates the problem, and the designers solve them.

I thought it followed the Socrates tradition in that the true philosopher is the one asking the questions, and it is the role of the student to answer them.

I wish I remembered who I am quoting here

It does discolor over time. The point is that one should be thinking about the impact over centuries and not years. It needs to be used with care and other alternatives need to always be considered.

For a painting or building that has survived for half a millennium we need use methods that will preserve the object for another 500 years.

Too many times I hear people say we will just use Paraloid.

It is used to strengthen materials. For example if plaster has crumbled, or the paint on a canvas has become flakey, or wood rotten, Paraloid B-72 can be used to hold everything together. The issue is that generally it is not reversible. Therefore one should always look at varnishes that can easily be removed and reapplied, but sometimes only Paraloid can hold everything toghther.

You can see the research here : https://www.woodresearch.sk/wr/201104/07.pdf?utm_source=chat... and here https://www.researchgate.net/publication/400226168_Aging_Mec...

The issue is that it does yellow but after 25 to 50 years. The challange is that it is very difficult to reverse.

On the restoration of my house I allow its use on very specific cases. It very useful for example in strengthening wood that has rotten. Sometimes Paraloid is the only thing that can be used, but it needs to be used with care.

He was so passionate about no modes he had a personal number plate for his car that was “NO MODES”

What is AWS level needs?

Could the weak spot with WhatsApp be that images are saved to a persons device? Also the metadata is not encrypted.

How is this legal under the GPDR? There is clear examples in the citizenlab document of a user been tracked inside of the EU from outside.

Is there not also a requirement for clean consent? Ie a weather app can’t track your precise location?

More details are available here, including screenshots of the tool.

And what ever happened to tools like jabber ? Or any other open source alternatives

So during the intermittent period IBM and American Airlines were focused on research of the problem.

The system was a based on a military messaging system.

What is important to note is before SABRE the system used was a sell at will until a stop message was issued. Then sales would be on request. This method is still used between different airline systems today.

Before the implementation of SABRE airlines used teleprinters as a way of communicating. Some of the commands SABRE and other IBM 360 systems come directly from this period. For example AJFkSFO9MAR was a way of economizing on characters sent. It means what is the available seats from JFK to San Francisco on the 9th of March. This predates SABRE.

There is several reasons that the System 360 (the reservation systems used by airlines like SABRE) is one that it is written in Assembler, and also the logic is very tied into its role of reservation. For example it was designed in the days of punchcards, which have a totally different method of matching than a relational Database. The logic is still used on matching a seat to a fare.

On the pure speed much of it is gained by clever engineering tricks. An example would be the passenger record. This is 9 alphanumeric id of the passenger reservation. It is the hash of virtual memory location of the reservation. It takes 4 cpu cycles to retrieve it.

Most of the systems used for GDS’s were in fact written in Assembler. I know as I have worked with a number of the systems. This is one, but not the only reason the different systems have remained on TPF machines.

Using the articles logic.

Obviously Satoshi and Banksy are the same person. They are both from the same era and British.

There are so many people I know from that Era who believed the same things that Mr. Back believed in. Half my work colleagues at the time where interested in distributed computers, Postage pay, and algorithmic payments.

I am not convinced

You mean WEIRD.
