It’s positively comedic that Bluesky, an entire large social network has taken less funding ($36M according to [1]) compared to Raycast (… an application launcher).

It’s not that the LLM is doing something productive, it’s that you were doing things that were unproductive in the first place, and it’s sad that we live in a society where such things are considered productive (because of course they create monetary value).

As an aside, I sincerely hope our “human” conversations don’t devolve into agents talking to each other. It’s just an insult to humanity.

Excluding the realtime-iness, humans do at least possess the capacity to do so.

Besides, humans are capable of rigorous logic (which I believe is the most crucial aspect of intelligence) which I don’t think an agent without a proof system can do.

Does google takeout not work? I’ve been intending to help my partner move off of Google Photos and takeout is what I had planned.

This is really a tragedy, I would have at least hoped they would have offered it someone like archive.org to keep.

It’s in-built: https://docs.podman.io/en/latest/markdown/podman-auto-update...

The fact that you have to be on “the” relay to meaningfully participate on the network.

If you instead claim that users can always choose to use other 3P relays, then you immediately lose all the nice things that Bluesky is able to do well today (search, discoverability, a “discover” algorithm). Indeed, you fall back to the same old problems that every other decentralized social network has.

Bluesky is just a shittier version of Nostr, except that the people over at Nostr don’t pretend.

People want the old Twitter, and Bluesky is close to that. It also cosplays being decentralized to people who don’t look too closely.

What reason does Bluesky give for not opening up their AppView code?

Another notable component that is closed source is the discovery feed generator, where at least there is some reason.

Edited to clarify what I mean.

It’s a start for sure, a TV that’s really out to track you might well be able to circumvent these blocks, but most TVs (and indeed most tracking technologies on the web) to my understanding are not so sophisticated. For the average person who wants to enjoy some of the smart features of their TV this is a good compromise.

And I’m not sure what you mean by the router being the better place to add guardrails. What sort of guardrails can you possibly add outside of blocking internet access outright to the TV? It would be near impossible to distinguish between legitimate traffic and ad/tracking traffic without resorting to something like SNI sniffing which again can be bypassed.

color palette would be more accurate

Quite amusing to see Google’s own tracking domains in the initial list [1] of domains they’re going to apply this to.

idk here in India, we have 2FA for everything. I would say it very rarely fails, speaking from personal experience.

Why would 2FA cause lose sales? One would imagine it’s because people are being auto charged for shit they don’t want but haven’t noticed or forgot to cancel.

While this sounds good, you could just dump the contents of /etc into git and it would work about the same.

Caveat: You own your identity only as long as you use did:web, and did:web is not much different from webfinger, which is what activitypub uses.

To clarify, the alternative (and default) is to use did:plc, which utilizes Bluesky (the company’s) centralized identity server. It isn’t possible to use other plc servers with any of the Bluesky clients either. Therefore, if you use did:plc it’s simple to get kicked off of.

Huh I’ve never noticed a sysad credit in a credits roll. Are they labeled as something else?

Regardless, it’s important that people document and collect such anecdotal evidences (assuming it’s done somewhat properly and not cherry picked)

In my book, pure numbers can’t capture the complex realities that people face in their lives.

I don’t think what he works on burns a bunch of energy for nothing though.

I feel like a game is much more than an interactive presentation of a story, there’s certainly more nuance.

Most importantly, I want to play a game because I want to feel that human connection —- another human being made this; deliberately designed this a certain way.

Nonetheless, this is certainly a very impressive technical achievement that we’re able to do this.

How is the game state not just the board state? Move history doesn’t matter in chess (FEN encodes the 50 move rule)

I don’t know what router you use, but openwrt lets you set firewall rules that only match the last 64 bits. This should solve your problem, provided you configure your router to hand out static IPv6 leases to devices.

Pretty reasonable. I don’t know where it pulled tachyons and it’s clue from though, that’s funny.

Wow this is super neat. I wonder why it isn’t enabled by default.

Needs a 2021 tag.

Presumably the hypotenuse of a right angled triangle.

Lossless formats can compressed: take FLAC as an example.

What incident are you referring to?
