I'd say relief and satisfaction are closely linked, arguably two facets of the same emotion. From an evolutionary perspective, it's likely those who gain at least some satisfaction from their adversary's death were more effective at eliminating threats.
Then just reject the connection unless I can prove I'm that person.
Yup I agree. These models should be open by law. Currently the calls for open models is not happening because its the initial chaos time, but as soon as we understand a little bit more there will be either regulation or open source reproductions. I mean LLama already exists, but even that has bullshit license stuff around it.
Isn't that literally the meaning of a "record"?
>The fediverse is not decentralized, it is “federated.” Large portions of the fediverse are censored by a few powerful admins that control the majority of users and speech that flows through the network.

Really? No one can force me to post (or not) anything on my Pixelfed[0] instance. And if they wanted to, they'd need to commit felonies (using violence or breaking into my premises physically or over the network) to do so.

You're seem to be under the misapprehension that self-hosting isn't viable. I don't believe so (and self-host many services), but I respect your opinion.

Don't like what "a few powerful admins that control the majority of users and speech that flows through the network?" Don't use or federate with those instances.

As I said, I run several ActivityPub instances and I don't even know who such "powerful admins" might be. Nor do I care.

I get your point, but (not attacking you here, just the idea that you have to interact with "big" sites not under your control, that (might) make moderation decisions you don't like).

If your goal is to reach the largest number of people, presumably for commercial purposes, I suppose that you might feel limited by folks who don't want your unsolicited commercial posts on or federated with their sites.

That could be limiting. But the vast majority of us just want to share and interact with people we know about non-commercial stuff. Setting up you own instance is absolutely decentralized (go ahead -- block my Pixelfed site -- I don't care -- I don't know you and I don't want to interact with you).

There are many use cases and perspectives here, but your assertion that ActivityPub (AP) (as a protocol, not any specific instance, which is why I separated the applications that run on top of AP) isn't decentralized isn't accurate.

The existence of instances with large (relatively speaking) numbers of users is irrelevant to whether or not the protocol and the platforms that rely on it are decentralized or not.

Feel free to disagree -- As I said, I get your point, but it's not relevant to any of my use cases. If the current AP ecosystem doesn't meet your needs, you have other alternatives as you mention -- But AP is definitely decentralized.

It’s the corporations actually poisoning people though no? What’s the alternative, a status quo of occasional accidental poisoning due to poor hygiene? This sort of corporate malfeasance is not a uniquely American thing, but it has a libertarian streak that feels all too familiar. Maybe corporations could spend some profits on figuring out food safety for the public good, too much to ask I guess.

I think nobody complained about the gesture to provide customers with at least access to a reliable VPN. WindScribe is a pretty good product, but they can't just break their own privacy policy with the excuse that someone could lose their money or no access due to the restrictions in their country. They have the whole customer email list if they have the hashes and nobody neither Wevpn or Windscribe asked the customer if they wanted to be migrated and grant the data access. Someone who purchase a VPN service is looking for data privacy, not only to bypass region restrictions.
That is a task for CI, not for a build system. A build system should ideally be able to run in a container that has no network at all.
This was widely reported by dozens of news outlets. You can take your pick across the political spectrum.

You should have learned how and why we treat water several times in the course of science class and if you missed it anyone who hikes around the great outdoors who took the time to look up anything whatsoever would have been apt to find instructions on the danger of "raw water".

Furthermore these people aren't folks who wandered by and saw a water feature fit to slake their thirst they deliberately sought it out. They are emphatically so stupid it would actually be a shame if they had kids.

Nobody actually walks around pulling off warning labels and hoping people hurt themselves. People in general do as they did here and go to extensive efforts to keep said idiots from harming themselves, then turn around and live in a society that is worse off for having the idiots.

This is why people blow of steam by saying spiteful things on the internet. This is emphatically normal.

I just wanted to say thanks for researching and writing such a carefully composed and in-depth piece. Your prose was both exceptionally clear and unusually concise for this kind of long-form piece.

Often I'll find myself skimming over entire paragraphs of this sort of long-form investigative piece because the author will go off on a tangent or include overly personal or flowery unnecessary details like the shape of a stain on the wall during an interview. I understand the qualitative value of such window-dressing but personally find it to be distastefully biased and a time-wasteful way to fluff up an already long read.

Having a long read like this that so fully focuses on the meat of the issue and its history is incredibly refreshing.

In short, consider me a fan.

But words are meant to convey meaning to other people, so what the word means to others is more important than what it means to you.

This sort of problem is common with language, and is a great example of why I'm not really on board with using natural language for technical things.
The argument is that humans interact with the world across many different modalities and do their statistical learning through this complex of interactions, while LLMs do their statistical learning just by what has been written (by humans) in certain internet sites.

I think it is a quite bold and philosophically poor statement to equate the "human training set" of complex interactions with the environment with what is written on the internet.

As someone who quite likes js & our wild teaming ecosystem a lot, I can also say: we definitely deserve some/mamy jokes too. No one's wrong on that. (jokes are good!)

I wish they felt like they had some punchlines though. No one ever bothers to make the JS world laugh along. We know it's wild here (Come play! So much fun freedom!). It comes off more like a beat down.

Context also matters. Conversationally Mike's words could be an amusing wink & grin quip. I can see that. On paper, & seeing it repeated with the same reckless unnuanced antipathy, it lacks the personal connection & feels indicative of a general attitude situation that is quite prevalent.

Again I think there's plenty of valid negativities in js, but looking at the distribution of where folks fall on the alignment chart when they talk about JS issues, it concerns me how lopsidedly & with what casual acceptance folks tend towards the scariest boxes of the chart. To me we are all in the challenge of making computing better together, & we can help ourselves by helping others.
Do you have a reference for this? Does it use a C backend that is part of LLVM, or is it something Zig-specific? What are its limitations? Can it compile libraries to C, or only entire applications?

> evil is deliberately harming others

Oh I can think of plenty of evil acts that don't involve deliberately harming others.

But at the end of the day the evil-doer doesn't think they're evil and nothing I say will convince them otherwise. And indeed I can't be sure they're an evil person or a person merely committing evil acts or a person committing neutral acts that seem evil to me.

All I can be sure of is that I don't want or need to be around them. It does me no good to hate them or revel in their misfortune. I can be relieved when they stop doing whatever was objectionable to me though.

I'd say that knowledge (stored as weights) is acquired through experience (starting from a mostly blank start, weights are formed through exposure to training data). For me that's a useful mental model which helps me think about what a LLM is and isn't.

If that's what free or socialized healthcare would make people feel entitled to make decisions on, I am not even sure if it is worth it. We don't even have it and the mindset may be leaking into second degree decisions like that.

I know you aren't suggesting it that way but your post made me ponder about it. If you socialize healthcare, you are automatically getting someone that says "oh no you don't, not on my dime, I'm gonna have to take care of you if something happens to you, no, no, no", which is practically a parent. It is probably a conversation that should be had. You rarely see it explored from that angle.

Disclaimer: I am not a Privacy Lawyer, I am basing what I wrote here on the text of IAPP. I was looking for a reviewed PIPEDA adequacy decision. I saw references about it coming in 2020, then 2021, then 2022. Can't really find anything specific.

RE: 1

I am looking at this document:
https://www.bclaws.gov.bc.ca/civix/document/id/complete/stat...

I assume this is up-to-date.

I will take one example: the Right to be forgotten. I don't see provision that satisfies the right to be forgotten: https://gdpr.eu/right-to-be-forgotten/

You seem to have a more in-depth understanding of PIPA. Can you point me towards a similar requirement in PIPA?

Looking at C-27, it appears that even PIPEDA is playing catch-up. But that was CPPA.

Btw. I am not suggesting Adequacy is always decided on privacy laws being EXACTLY like GDPR. Given the only reference to adequacy I found thus far was based on a 2001 review, I am not sure what would be appropriate criteria here beyond access to "an appropriate" level of legal protection.

The text in IAPP article refers to the adequacy of PIPEDA. Not Canada. It is actually interesting that there is no adequacy with Canada, but only with Canadian PIPEDA.

RE 2:

Right, I was referring to the fact that customers of Fathom sign contract/get into agreement with a company in British Columbia under its laws. It is mostly irrelevant where their CTO resides (it would be relevant if you resided in a non-adequate country, as your privacy policy would have to account for relevant data transfers).

> If you zoom out far enough reality itself is logically subjective

Maybe, but value is subjective even when you zoom in.

I never expressed nihilism, I stated that values are subjective, and describing them as objective is incorrect and obscures the source of the practical problem you yourself described with implementing them.
I am not a native speaker of English so maybe that's why. Typically anything that has lots of humor and makes the reader laugh or be amused frequently -- I think of as comedy. Is there a more nuanced distinction to what is usually called a comedy in literature / movies?

I tried to think of some other examples. Trevor Noah's biography 'Born A Crime' came to mind. I would not explicitly describe it as a comedy myself - because a 'biography' is descriptive enough as well as non-fiction by definition so any humor is mostly not made up. If it were not a biography through -- it would probably go into the comedy bucket in my mind. Maybe I am just mis applying terms here.
The continents are defined geographically and culturally, not geologically.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continent points out how they "are generally identified by convention rather than any strict criteria" and lists "several ways of distinguishing the continents", with the 7-continent model, two different 6-continent models. It also mentions the "four-continent model consisting of Afro-Eurasia, America, Antarctica, and Australia", as well as how there were only three discrete landmasses present during the Pleistocene ice ages, when the Bering Strait was instead land.

You can see the cultural influence in:

> In the English-speaking countries, geographers often use the term Oceania to denote a geographical region which includes most of the island countries and territories in the Pacific Ocean, as well as the continent of Australia.

> In some non-English-speaking countries, such as China, Poland, and Russia, Oceania is considered a proper continent because their equivalent word for "continent" has a rather different meaning which can be interpreted as "a major division of land including islands" (leaning towards a region) rather than "land associated with a large landmass" (leaning towards a landmass).

They are not defined by geology nor continental plates. For one, the word and current use is far older than our first glimmers of understanding plate tectonics. https://www.etymonline.com/word/continent says the meaning in the 1550s was "continuous tract of land" and by the 1610s became "one of the large land masses of the globe".

FWIW, the North American plate includes some of the continent of Asia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Plate

I'm not sure we have any data on this either way. Most of China doesn't feel like they have the freedom to say anything negative about Xi in any sort of public or recorded way so taking a poll on Xi in China isn't likely to give you a true picture of how people there actually feel about him.
