forever really angry that pirate ethics lost, not because of any coherent argument, but because spotify and netflix were usable for 15 consecutive years. it's really weird watching social mores be shaped by convenience so plainly, and makes it impossible to take most people's beliefs seriously

belief is tested. belief is what you think and do when there is no upside to you, including internet points and social belonging. belief is all but the opposite of ingroup signalling, belief is what is sufficiently important to turn the ingroup against you few have any of that, especially youth

Separate sound channels with independently adjustable volume and ability to mute would be really convenient in meatspace.

ok give me some idea what do with fable since it's supposed to run out tonorrow

Gerard K O'Neill design from the 1970s for a space station colony — 2 cylinders rotate in opposite directions to provide artificial gravity and keep the station aimed at the sun. A similar colony appears at the end of Interstellar (2014). More here: publicdomainreview.org/collection/s...

maybe it's just my weird form of empathy, and a vague sense of recognition, but all the "i know better" about the godot devs is making me feel bad for them. damned if you do damned if you don't

burritos or not, pneumatic tube systems were always one of the coolest things about how futuristic cities were portrayed in the 80s "we forgot how to build infrastructure, but we can do autonomous drone-based delivery instead!" then, proceeding not to do autonomous drone-based delivery either

Seriously: I never ever want to hear any claims about "We here in Europe don't need AC." again. "But AC is a luxury!" No, AC everywhere would literally be a lifesaver greatly helping with putting heat deaths every year in Europe below the number of gun deaths in USA instead of keeping it above it.

i like wayland, but client-side window decorations are the worst idea ever from a consistency point of view. please don't make every program do their own special thing! it's bad enough that some programs assume they're too cool and special to have a normal title bar (looking at firefox here)

thank u kimi... now build it

something that's, somehow, even worse than an electron app is "progressive web app that only works on chrome-derived browsers"

an electron-beam lithography machine would be more practical for small batches and rapid prototyping, but all for it of course

We gotta hyperstition Le Chaton Fat into existence (ok, unfortunately though I think it's actually unlikely to even be possible as even the entirety of the EU likely has not enough computational resources to train a 30 trillion parameter model).

don't know what to believe but the "Chinese are only distilling our models, they're derivative!" always sounded way too much like the usual us chauvinism to me

I made a webpage to try SpliceCraft out directly in your browser in a little sandbox. No download or install needed to try it. Gonna make a tutorial mode to walk people through the features soon. Enjoy! splicecraft.bio

What Europe should do right now: 1. Call all the European researchers working on AI and return them back with same salary (or they can stay but switch career). 2. Fill EU places having GPUs with money, and put those people there. 3. AI partnerships with China + India.

another reason why i'm mostly only interested in open weight models. even if their capability is less, you can integrate them in your flow, without worrying the plug can be pulled any time for any reason

bluesky's "goat" pds admin tool only allows resetting the password for a user to a temporary randomly-generated one, not changing it to a specific one changing the password through the webui makes it send a "request code", which doesn't work if you haven't set up email on the PDS is there any way?

i've been saying, it's time to standardize a UTF-f32×N-sparse-quantized encoding. why push everything through the narrow, lossy bottleneck of an alphabet when neural activation tells the whole story!

The easiest first pass here was to tie probability of motion to the sound track, here I used a generated track from my 8bit music composer but gave you the hooks to command with voice or bring your own track. Extensible to others (looking at you fluoddity) but for now math.mino.mobi/traffic

Hell, I'll take it a step further. Belonging *is* a birthright. You were born among these stars, and in time it is to them that you shall return. All within the spheres is our birthright, and it is unjust and improper to deny anyone that fundamental right to freedom of movement and association.
