Just make your own RSS feed? Stuff I like, I often store, or make notes of. I don't personally use RSS for it, but perhaps I should make a kebman's curated YouTube RSS feed? It'll be kinda AI heavy tho...
"Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind." And so it began. The seed was sent into space. All going according to plan.
That tends to be the official narrative, but unsure if jet fuel burns that evenly. Though OTOH you're correct, it did start pancaking from the top, so there's that. Perhaps they were simply well-engineered skyscrapers?…
This is probably a massive downvote waiting to happen, but I have more faith in 9/11 being a controlled demo. Not out of evil. Just to prevent New York turning into a giant domino show.
Going to Edinburgh Airport, I was reminded that the tiny water bottle I forgot in my bag could be a bomb. I just went "Oh jeez I'm sorry... Here, have some water! You look like you need it!" Then I opened the bottle and…
ISP “choice” is mostly a meme, yeah. But depending on local rules, you can sometimes route around the monopoly: trench your own last-mile (at least on private land), do a neighborhood co-op, connect buildings, etc. It’s…
Not AI, but similar sounding incident in Norway. Some traders found a way to exploit another company's trading bot at the Oslo Stock Exchange. The case went to court. And the court's ruling? "Make a better trading bot."
South Africa is a sad example of this. And so systems are deteriorating country-wide.
Here's a funny story for you. Did you know that porn was quite severely censored in Norway up until the 90's? But suddenly, the censorship stopped. Why? Because of the distributed quality of the internet. While the…
I beg to differ. As long as we have gentlemen like Pavel Durov getting arrested at French airports, it's definitively at technical question. A decentralized and distributed chat protocol with distributed devs and owners…
Is this a good time to plug the creation of chat protocols running over distributed hash tables (DHT) (essentially a decentralized way of creating mini message servers) and with forward security and end-to-end…
It's sad, but let's hope the UK blocks it. Perhaps someone finally understands the severity of this "law".
Here's the kicker: AI was supposed to automate the boring parts so we could “focus on high-leverage, strategic, needle-moving, synergistic core competencies.” Instead, we’re stuck in a recursive loop of prompt…
It isn't. But as a society, we voted for providing clean, affordable water to everyone was a public good. That's why municipal water exists. The issue arises when that water is fluoridated against the will of a…
Yes, in the US associations are granted certain legal rights, including the right to political expression and collective action. That's a matter of legal precedent. But law doesn't define philosophy — philosophy defines…
Then the community is exactly forcing people to seek other, and way more expensive and way more inconvenient, sources of water. That's the opposite of a freedom.
It's not a "freedom" to be forced to move away from a community just because you want pure water. Moral philosophy: A democracy should not act as the tyranny of the majority, and governments (local or otherwise) should…
For the rest of the world: 32 ounces is almost one litre of milk.
Personal freedom ≠ "freedom of communities"—there is no such thing. Freedom applies to individuals, not collectives. When a community makes a decision that affects all its members, that’s democracy, but democracy is not…
Could you please substantiate that claim?
Yes, in bulk. If 100 people all mention essentially the same feature, it might be worthwhile. If just one person does it? Well, if it highlights something you never thought about, it can ofc be valuable, but it's not…
I remember the the BBC would upsell on requests from artists visiting their studios in London. Artist management: “Hey, can you fix XYZ beverage, towels, etc, in the stage ante room?” BBC: “Sure! That will cost....”…
I think in terms of official correspondence, I don't think it's a good idea to ask criminals why they did a certain thing, ref the reply to the scammer about his access being revoked. Yes, it might feel good to berate…
Not only am I vocal about using Obsidian but I also use Arch btw. I'm not vegan tho, but I'm working on it.
