That being said, having worked on guix packages. Automated conversation is not so simple. The bottleneck for me is compilation time and cost. even with superdooper intelligence, you have to trial and error builds, fix mysterious test race conditions and match versions.
A powerful $5000 build server plus another several thousand per year for The electricity cost would go a long way to speeding up this process. Old second hand computers are not viable because the electricity cost for constantly building software on them is not cost effective.
It makes me kinda buthurt when some racist rich people can raise millions for some crappy arch skin distro soft fork, but serious, novel, from the ground up projects have to scratch around in the dirt for pennies. The project may not have truly demonstrated it's worth to justify replacing nix, but I feel it's unique and special enough that it is deserving of some money falling from the sky. It's 1 of only 2 of this style of functional packaging distribution.
As a side note. If I had a choice to oppose a booming ai comoany, or become the billionaire founder of it, I would still choose to become the founder and then use my resource to do something about. It certainly feels hypocritical, but if you want to stop a boulder rolling down hill, what can you do besides run ahead of it and try stop it?
“ Daniel Berntsson
Known for: Mullvad VPN (co-founder, co-owner)
Daniel is the co-founder of Mullvad VPN, alongside Fredrik Strömberg. In June 2026, Daniel donated 5M Swedish Krona (~$500,000 USD) to the populist anti-immigration Örebro Party,[source] saying “it’s sad that it’s needed”. The party supports the ethnic cleansing of non-white people from Sweden, and Daniel’s donation represented, at the time, 72% of the party’s revenue. Daniel cited immigration as a motivating factor for his donation.”
My understanding of "safety" is that it means formalising morality, ensuring AI doesn't go astray as it recursively improves it's self, destroying our future in some horrifying way possibly worse than death.
So I skimmed the linked oxford academy article. I can't see where it supports this exactly l, although it does match my intuition...
Did they also compare perceived competency of men that receive relatively more commentary on their appearance?
It also occurs to me that one reason a person, regardless of gender, may have a higher ratio of commentary on their appearance rather than policy, is because they are in fact less competent, giving the media less meaningful content to discuss.
Just to be clear, I'm not dismissing the discrimination women face daily or stating a conclusion, I just didn't see where it was proven here.
However, the problem is inherently "{unique, short, decentralized}, pick two". GNUnet allows everyone to freely build their associations of names to public keys. But people still desire globally unique urls they can share and print on paper, so naturally, distributions will still package such "root certificates" by default and most people will trust the same provider of "com". But it's easy for anyone to share their own set of name-key pairs and for users to decide to call them "com" instead, for example if the original organisation managing .com censors some domains (stops published a record signed with their key). However, one would then need to translate urls when sharing them to others, or convicntthem to reconfigure their systems
I restrict myself to eating vegetarian + things like oysters, abalone. But I'm guilty and have been eating fish. The bigger the fish, the more guilty and apprehensive I feel about the fish having some degree of qualia. Probably its fine eating Sardines with their tiny brains? As you may have surmised, it's a philosophical topic I'm very uncertain about.
People are often perplexed, saying that since everything dies anyway, it doesn't matter. But it's not about death, it's about how it lived it's life in a slaughterhouse or whatever. of course, life out in the wild is brutal too, so many animals that end up on the dinner table probably lived better lives than they would have in the wild. But, as my empathy and compassion grows to encompass other animals, even if the meat on the table is "ethical" by my own judgement, I find myself awkwardly thinking to myself "uhh, maybe ill just eat the damn tofu instead".
But out of GNUNet sprung GNU Taler which looks like it has a more promising future than even GNUnet it's self, since they have a prototype and have actually shown it to bankers.
If you happen to be a bazillionare, consider supporting these projects :) or if you're a banker, consider adopting the world's first consumer protecting payment system that extends the traditional system without providing a convenient vehicle for crime like cryptocurrencies.
Disclaimer: I'm not an an expert on anything, just a curious person.
Not disagreeing with the need for isolation though, I just think it should be designed carefully in a zero-sacrifice way (of use control/pragmatic software freedom)
