monkeywork

I've been using it for quite a while to book podcast interviews - I like that it integrates scheduling a google meets room automatically. I do wish it supported more vid conf software options though.

Because sometimes the automatic captions brutally butcher the text and can change the presenters meaning.

The AR application I want is what I had always hoped to get google glass for ages ago and that is face recognition.

I'm terrible at remembering names, it would be wonderful if the glasses I'm wearing when I look at someone would pop their name (and any other note I've created on them) off to the side of my view for quick reference.

That done with a really clean interface would be worth it to me alone with almost no other functionality.

Bad press is a calculated risk - for every time something goes viral there are likely TONS of time that it quietly goes their way.

Large financial and legal repercussions are required here. The balance of power is way to far one sided.

This isn't a subreddit - I don't care if everyone on the server is into the same "niche" or "hobby". Here are the problems I see:

1. Moderation issues, primarily with regards to federation between instances. As an admin it's much harder to moderate with tons of users in a consistent manner, and as a user it's hard not to get screwed over by overly reactive admins either on your instance or other large instances banning your instance. I've seen tons of "guilt by association" bans on mastodon, hell I've seen people judging and domain blocking people based on the SOFTWARE they use (because they dislike the politics of that developer - not because anything that anyone on the particular instance did).

2. Privacy concerns, especially around how mastodon handles "private messages". When you are on a server that everyone is sharing a niche hobby there is a HIGHER possibility that your admin may snoop on your messages out of curiosity (or whatever justification they can generate).

3. Costs both $ and resources on these larger instances. Eventually someone will need to pay a bill and $$ pressures can lead to bad decisions.

In my opinion people should be:

1. Generally having their own stand alone instance. 2. Sharing an instance with close family / friends 3. Having secondary accounts on company / organizations instances 4. Having a read-only account on one of the larger instances just to assist in searching, discovery, etc.

Yes I wish we could have some sort of rule where you could never have more than 100 or so people per server and the community really really focused on making the deploy instructions as simple as possible for people to use with things like Oracles free tier, or the low cost VPS's out there.

Mastodon instances with 10's of thousands of users is a TERRIBLE idea for the long term viability of the service.

I've seen the economics talked about a few times in this thread but having no experience at all with the industry - what is the difference between economical and not in actual dollar values?

If you were to produce a KG of this vs say our common art-sweetners what is the cost multipler

Isn't there a massive difference in wall thickness between what the Romans did and what we do today?

I think the person who knows and accepts they don't know things, and more importantly will refrain from opoining on those things is more wise than the average person. Maybe not more intelligent but definitely more wise

Rogan has addressed this since then saying basically he doesn't know if Bob is full of shit but knows that he (Rogan) wants to believe in aliens so much that sometimes he goes lighter than he should.

see you're doing exactly what I described.. you saw someone mention the word immigration and went off like a dog on a steak without reading.

I'm not "blaming immigrants" - I'm blaming immigration policies that have Canada leading most of the developed world in net immigration while also being in last place for it's housing stock.

That situation causes a supply and demand loop that makes it profitable for corporations to flip units (the corps doing this is a SYMPTOM not the CAUSE of the problem).

I have no issue with immigration and I'm not scapegoating minority groups (seriously read next time please), what I'm saying is the policy that allows one needs to be directly influenced by the policy of the other or you get knock on effects like we are seeing now.

You are correct that we can't agree on the underlying issue, but not because anyone is scapegoating but because so many people want to concern troll and try to avoid having a discussion for fear of being labeled as insensitive.

Yet so many people in Toronto choose to complain about:

* Foreign ownership * Greedy landlords * People who own more than one house * AirBNB * etc etc

When the solution is much like you just said, it's a policy decision that is limiting the housing supply (well that plus record population growth in the GTA). https://www.scotiabank.com/ca/en/about/economics/economics-p...

If people spent half the effort on holding their provincial and muni reps accountable for this rather than belly-aching online about all the other items I listed above (which are really symptoms not causes) maybe something will change.

Canada has one of (if not the) lowest housing stocks per population in the developed world. BC and Ontario are on the lower end of all the provinces in this regard as well, which is a major problem when you count how much our population is growing and the fact that the majority of that growth ends up in the VAN/TOR greater metros.

Canada's biggest problem is that we didn't lock out immigration policies to our infrastructure and housing policies. Bringing up that fact though often spirals into someone trying to claim that being concerned about the policies makes you a racist or anti-immigration which is nonsense.

Did you though?

All you said was:

>I keep seeing this and people griping about it so much bothers me.

Why does someone griping about the fact that their expectations of a service (especially one you personally aren't providing) doesn't match reality bother you at all? Why do you have an opinion on their opinion of a third party that they pay money to for a service?

There is also a lot of pressure from local governments to get companies to force people back to work as the businesses built up around large biz centers suffer if everyone works from home (no one eating out for lunch, going to beers after work, getting coffees, getting dry cleaning, etc etc)

I didn't say racism requires malice - I said it required intent, most of the time that intent is malice but not always. The current pop culture version of racism isn't often racism, it's prejudice or stereotyping or most often simply ignorance.

Two people can make the exact same remark and one can be racist and one can be based on innocent ignorance/curiosity. A young white child is spending time with a black person for the first time and says "your hair is weird", is a vastly then if that same person said it while in high school and was bullying the black kid in class. The former isn't racist and the latter is.

I don't rail against social justice, progress is good and I think everyone of every creed / sexuality / gender / etc should be free to express themselves and live their best lives without being judged for who they were born or identify as.

What I do rail against though is the use of manipulating language to bully and harass people because a social credit / status / clout of trying to always be finding demons to expose is the norm. I personally believe that people who do this (often the "social justice warriors" so to speak) are root for most of the radicalization of BOTH sides of the political spectrum in the western world right now.

The models output isnt racist. Racism has intent, the algo doesn't.

It can be wrong or right but it is not making a judgment based on anything outside of math.

You are correct to say the training wasn't complete but that doesn't mean anyone did anything wrong, racist, or hateful... 99% of the time it's simply a mistake.

When you label things like that as racist instead of simply mistakes you water that word down to the point where it becomes meaningless.

The problem in the last 10+ yrs of outrage internet social justice is that in order to gain attention and get traction those involved have lumped so many things into terms like racism that that it eventually becomes so stretched it's meaningless.

Are you being intentionally obtuse? You were told step by step if you disbelieve run the test independently and verify...

Making additional copies / replicas to pass around? No that shouldn't be free. Taking something I've paid for and giving or selling my copy to someone else? Yes should be free

Really fail to see the value of that comment. I haven't seen any FANG/Startup creators sustain themselves building quality furniture or barns either...

Kind of an odd measure of if their values are a good idea or not

And yet there are regulations around health and safety that supermarkets must follow.

Freedom to choose what software you use is completely different than having the freedom to force developers to give you features that you want.

You do have the freedom of software choice already.

To what end? When a population gets to a size where continued growth actively hurts or lowers quality of life shouldn't that be considered.

If you had an arc ship sending ppl to hopefully a new planet. That ship has limited space and resources, at what point do you stop expanding the population of the crew and passengers?

In Canada however that positive net migration (I believe second highest in western world) and high immigrant percentage of population (forth highest I believe) comes at a massive cost when you realize Canada has not been matching population growth to housing and infrastructure.

Prior to pandemic we were building fewer than 0.4 new houses per person nationwide (down from 0.7 back in 2010), our healthcare system is very stressed with lowered population provinces (example Maritimes) having massive waits to get family doctors causing ppl to use ER for simple things adding major stress and delays there.

Most of the talk about Canada's RE market gets pushed to secondary causes or really reactions and symptoms of the core issues. Foriegn money, private investment, greedy landlords etc are all results of a basic supply and demand problem that the government could fix via zoning reform and immigration reform but seem to deflect away from instead giving ppl boogiemen to hate on instead.

Net migration into Canada is great and we benefit greatly by those who choose to come here however if it's not balanced by the government spending to support it Canada is heading for disaster in the next decade.

This is a really cool idea, I do wonder how much of this is memorization and how much of it is typoglycemia (the ability to read misspelled words or words missing vowels etc without any major pause).

I'm someone on the left and I fundamentally disagree with literally every point you made.
