There's a beautiful speech Cory Doctorow gave at 39C3 a few weeks ago about anti-circumvention law being a fundamental part of the US trade agreements around the world and that given the orange menace has violated all those agreements, the restrictions US placed should be void as well.
I'd argue that Clute is trying to position "cruelty" as oppositional to the status quo of milquetoast reviews, and rather than cruelty, uncompromising intellectual conversation. That's difficult for our emotional species, and misrepresenting this as cruelty is perhaps more bluntly effective.
Oh hey! I have a second brain too! It's a series of notebooks and index cards I wrote in pen and sometimes digitize into Obsidian so I can use full text search and relational database features.

Just registered to vote with @cagreens.bsky.social. Anythings better than voting Democrat β especially given Sean Dougherty running for the House.
Of course, this is assuming I'm still allowed to exist for the next four years.
I'm changing my opinion on Generative ML. Instead of "Butlerian Jihad," I'm now on "That was cute (derogatory). Let's go back to the research lab and stop abusing people!"
The article was actually a lot more in-depth, mostly going into issues with quality results (Quorum) requiring expensive printers, and US insurance companies refusing to bill for 3d printed limbs (TrueLimb) because they are too cheap -- even at $7000. It's worth a read!
It's too late for me. I'm already designing a writing desk.
Got a brush pen and disposable fountain pen from @jetpens.com β turns out I like the fountain pen! Probably going to get a LAMY safari in my next order?
The brush is for writing νκΈ, but it's much much harder to control. The fountain pen is too. Time to work on my handwriting!
Uncut 9" round 3 layer pumpkin cake covered with sheer blackberry mascarpone frosting. I put a lot of effort into making it smooth and nice looking. There are pumpkin frosting shells around the base, and little frosted pumpkins decorated with mini chocolate chips as the tiny stem. There are 14 blackberries with their stems facing the cake placed somewhat evenly around the top edge. The cake is on a table outside with lavender and salvia bushes encroaching on the path in the background.

Made a pumpkin cake with blackberry mascarpone frosting! It's really delicious; I took the recipes from different places and I'll put it on my website... eventually. #CakeSky π°
The reason this is important is because Bluesky PBLLC is explicitly stating that anyone can host their own copy of their infrastructure, interoperable with theirs, just without their truly awful moderation.
Why would you talk to a human you love when you could Poste about it instead?
Will this keep happening forever? I think that while Odysee is theoretically better than YT, it's making things too convoluted. Let's just stick to PeerTube for now, despite the failings of ActivityPub.
AFAICT, there aren't any plans for what will happen after the 20 year PoW mining phase. The entire LBRY blockchain seems to, ironically, rely on economic incentives to keep it sustainable. Will there be a new epoch in 10 years, leaving the current chain eternalized and hosted traditionally?

what kind of keyboard do you use that makes this possible? did you have a neural jack installed to optimize the process of puppeting your words to life?
and how do you find the time to edit? are your words just naturally that perfectly phrased?
writing code documentation is nice! i hate doing that.
nothing that requires it to run in a datacenter, though; llms are an incredibly inefficient and wasteful algorithm
oh katie, you misunderstand your audience! It's the sex toy engineers who read your posts, not the sex toy executives!
The Democratic Party are right-wing centrists. They still unfortunately have too much of the population supporting them to be considered as conservative as the policies they support. They define the spectrum.
consider: the recursive maxwell's demon. a less efficient binary tree.
The Times is a big paper. There are many thoughtful writers there doing really good work. Unfortunately most of your subscription goes to paying for the people who soft-focus nazi pedophiles or write op-eds titled βI Personally Respect Trans People, Just A Little Less Than Dogs.β Cancel your sub
Of course, we'd need to give them tastebuds first.
I think the real Turing test will be when a robot can cook. Like, actually cook. If you've ever cooked before, you know what I mean by "actual cooking". Don't quantify it. Don't make it a goal. Let it emerge, diegetically, and let them show us their soul.
i mean based on recent trends...
Yes. Yes, I would jump off a bridge if the numbers indicated it would bring me money, even if my friends told me not to.
