> when we realized that it wasn't going to happen that we could our streaming data with Pluto notebooks on the web

It sounds like the issue is probably unrelated to using Pluto, and likely more to do with the streaming libraries used and memory management - but that's just a guess based on the minimal info here. When you say it couldn't handle streaming data, what issues did you have? By "streaming data with Pluto notebooks on the web" do you mean PlutoSliderServer or something else?

FWIW, Fons and co are very responsive to user issues (for eg. on the Zulip pluto channel [1]), so if you haven't tried that already, I'd recommend that. Similarly with Stipple, I believe they're trying to build a company out of it, so they'll probably be very receptive to business use cases and making them work.

Why did they need to use AT for whatever thing this is? AT is a well known and decades old protocol for modem communication. smh.
Ironically, this line of critique is itself ... a misinformation play of sorts:

Where were they when US media was waging an industrial-scale misinformation campaign about non-existent Russian AI bots on Twitter? The ones who were supposedly secretly fielding GPT-4 quality bots to make Americans vote for Trump?

In that, simply put - these are straw-man claims that are being attacked here.

As to why - it's pretty obvious if one follows the event chronology of the broader story. Simply put: that the troll farms existed is a matter of forensic record, beyond dispute. But the narrative at the time was always in that formulation - "troll farms", i.e. essentially an MTurk operation. And yes, aspects of that narrative (specifically in regards to its actual effect on the election) were at the time speculative, and yeah, apparently lacking substance.

However - specific claims about them being "AI bots" didn't come until much later in the hype cycle, and were quite marginal (nowhere near "industrial-scale" as alleged above).
And the claim about "secretly fielding GPT-4 quality bots" seems particularly strange, since GPT itself became known to the broader public until long after the election bots mania had arced and passed.

Its pretty fundamental stuff to know the difference between what is server side and what is client side. I think you will have a lot of trouble undertanding a framework without this.

Blazor WebAssemly requires you make explicity Ajax-like Calls to external web services in order to interact with a server and data. There is no server side framework in WebAssembly for maintaining state. State is entirely client side.

Blazor Server basically uses Web Sockets (with fallbacks) to communicate changes between client and server, this is far more efficient than using http request calls. State here is server side. But differs from all other frameworks in that state is trasmitted over sockets not http requests.

I'm not convinced you have actually used any kind blazor tbh

This hypothetical scenario is quite fantastical and impossible to occur in reality, as neutron star matter cannot be fed to chickens, nor can it be in the form of rice grains. Neutron star matter is incredibly dense and has extreme gravitational forces that would be deadly to any life form. However, for the sake of a thought experiment, let's attempt to approach this problem step by step.

Determine the energy required to melt the entire moon:

The moon's mass is approximately 7.34 x 10^22 kg. To melt the moon, we need to calculate the energy required to heat it up to its melting point. The average melting point of the moon's composition (silicates and metals) is roughly 1,200 degrees Celsius. The specific heat capacity of moon rock is about 800 J/(kg·K). The energy required can be calculated using the formula: Q = mcΔT, where Q is energy, m is mass, c is specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the change in temperature.

Assuming the moon starts at 0 degrees Celsius and needs to be heated to 1,200 degrees Celsius, ΔT would be 1,200 K. Thus, the energy required to melt the entire moon (Q) would be:

Q = (7.34 x 10^22 kg) x (800 J/(kg·K)) x (1,200 K) ≈ 7.04 x 10^27 Joules

Energy from neutron star matter:

Neutron star matter is incredibly dense, with a teaspoon weighing around 10 million tons. A grain of rice has a volume of about 0.065 cm³. If we assume the neutron star matter in the form of rice grains has the same density, then the mass of a single grain can be calculated using the density formula: ρ = m / V, where ρ is density, m is mass, and V is volume.

Density of neutron star matter: ρ ≈ 4 x 10^17 kg/m³

Volume of a grain of rice: V ≈ 6.5 x 10^(-8) m³

Mass of a grain of rice made of neutron star matter: m = ρV ≈ (4 x 10^17 kg/m³) x (6.5 x 10^(-8) m³) ≈ 2.6 x 10^10 kg

As neutron star matter is composed of neutrons packed closely together, it has a huge amount of potential energy that could be released if converted into energy. For simplicity, let's assume the conversion of the entire mass of a neutron star rice grain into energy using the famous equation E=mc², where E is energy, m is mass, and c is the speed of light (3 x 10^8 m/s).

Energy released by a single grain of neutron star matter: E = (2.6 x 10^10 kg) x (3 x 10^8 m/s)² ≈ 2.34 x 10^24 Joules

Calculate the number of chickens required:

Now, we can calculate how many chickens are needed to produce enough energy to melt the entire moon. This can be done by dividing the total energy required to melt the moon by the energy released by a single grain of neutron star matter.

Number of chickens = (Energy to melt the moon) / (Energy per grain of neutron star matter)

Number of chickens ≈ (7.04 x 10^27 Joules) / (2.34 x 10^24 Joules) ≈ 3 x 10^3

I don't know if it did it right, but I don't know enough about neutron chicken diets to dispute it. The assumption of the average Moon temperature overall being 0 C seems like an oversimplification. Also it's unclear if this calculation is for an African or European chicken.

I always have the same thought before I set out and write a blog post like this. Shame this author doesn't.
> Counterpoint: guns, doors, wrenches and jails are tools as well. So, I don't buy this notion that technology can't solve societal issues.

I'd go as far as saying, technology is by far most likely to solve societal issues, but it usually happens indirectly, in ways not easily predicted.

To use your example:

> It's like saying you can't fix a leaky faucet with a wrench because the real problem is that the pipes are old and rusty.

Yes, and technological solution for this ends up being... all the metal pipes getting replaced with plastics, because plastics are that amazing and petroleum industry made them cheap as dirt. There are many "technological solutions" at play here, most of them have nothing to do with plumbing, but together they both make the plastic pipes possible, and through economics, make them suddenly appear in everyone's houses.

(The whole setup of course comes with new problems in other areas, but that's almost always the case with any solution to anything.)

> I mean, imagine telling a doctor not to prescribe medicine to a sick patient because the real issue is poor lifestyle choices.

This is what a good chunk of the world believes, and tries to tell the doctors and patients alike. I consider this to be "fuck you advice"; "poor lifestyle choices" are usually not actually choices, and lifestyle changes are much, much harder to implement (often impossible in practice) compared to a medical intervention.

"Representational drift: Emerging theories for continual learning and experimental future directions" (2022) https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S095943882... :

> Recent work has revealed that the neural activity patterns correlated with sensation, cognition, and action often are not stable and instead undergo large scale changes over days and weeks—a phenomenon called representational drift. Here, we highlight recent observations of drift, how drift is unlikely to be explained by experimental confounds, and how the brain can likely compensate for drift to allow stable computation. We propose that drift might have important roles in neural computation to allow continual learning, both for separating and relating memories that occur at distinct times. Finally, we present an outlook on future experimental directions that are needed to further characterize drift and to test emerging theories for drift's role in computation.

So, to run the same [fMRI, NIRS,] stimulus response activation observation/burn-in again weeks or months later with the same subjects is likely necessary given Representational drift.
Oh, I see! Usually "this sort of thing" would have a normal distribution I guess? That IS quite interesting.
Hm, if you're making the underlying hardware slower, don't you want the kernel to be even faster though?

VMs are much more than micro kernels. It's about allowing the user to install whatever they want in their machine. Containers are just a userland abstraction. Not sure where the link to microkernels is there.

Hi -- author here. I just presented this work at JupyterCon 2023 so I figured it was time to advertise more broadly. There are a few rough edges but my hope is that, by making all the reactive behavior opt-in and only enabled for in-order execution (i.e., cells above the one I execute will never reactively execute by default), it can be predictable enough to be useful in practice.

There's still a long way to go to get e.g. full dataflow understanding of all the common libraries, understanding file paths, autoreload integration, etc., but after nearly 3 years of on-and-off development I think it's finally useable-ish.

How much of this is actually implemented? Correct me if I'm wrong but bluesky doesn't actually implement federation yet?

As someone who wants to like bluesky, I feel like a lot of the scepticism comes from the seeming prioritisation of a single centralised server, over federation, for what is "sold" as a decentralised system.

The modern replacement, as mentioned in the article, is PON. It's a shared network where they typically run a single fiber from the exchange or local node to roughly 32 homes. The signal is optically split between the homes, very much like cable TV, but using light instead of RF signals.

So it's somewhat harder to tell where the signal is coming from, you would need to investigate all 32 separate homes. There might be a way, without any form of fraud, to get a more anonymous Internet connection. Which could be useful in combination with a VPN, Tor or another anonymization tool.

I am not sure what you mean. If I want to use unboxed array of structs I can easily do so via FFI and create some sort of DSL for working with them. If this sounds like too much work for you, then yes we are at an impase. I think CL is great in this way in that writing FFIs is pretty natural. Also if you need performance code, why would you be worried too much about portability accross implementations. Maybe I am missing something

Anyway in Haskell you use unboxed arrays but without much of the high level benefits of the rest of the language. I fail to see how this is fundamentally different

Note there's a distinction between "startup.jl" and "Startup.jl": the latter is a package, not a script. That's necessary to allow precompilation. But you can add `using Startup` to your "startup.jl" so that it gets loaded automatically.

Because they pretend to want to be open, and it's sending a very clear signal that is not their goal if they're not even trying to work with the existing ecosystem.

If they just want to be a silo, that's fine. But in that case be honest about it.

Businesses that rely on user-provided content plus network effects are squatting on a natural monopoly that doesn't belong to them. YouTube wants to show me ads or charge me a monthly fee, and in exchange they pay creators a pittance for the right to distribute content that YouTube is not in any way responsible for making.

What would replace YouTube if it didn't exist? Well, PeerTube gives an example of one possible direction, Discord (or IRC) another. YouTube's continued existence prevents any better alternatives from developing. It's squatting on the conceptual space for "where I go to watch short videos" and acting as a middle-man between me and creators, then using its monopoly over that connection to shaft us both.

Reading this I hear someone passionate about technology for the sake of technology. Which is cool, I totally get the desire to build things oneself, but it doesn't really address the substantive questions people are asking about AT:

An open protocol exists that broadly does what you want to do. That protocol is stable and widely used. That in itself, regardless of the quality of the protocol, already represents an OKish argument to strongly consider using it. If you're going to go NIH your replacement needs to not just be better but substantially better, and you should also show understanding of the original open spec.

Sofar, Bluesky's already been caught redoing little things in ways that show a lack of reading/understanding of open specs (.well-known domain verification), and the proposed technological improvements over ActivityPub fall into three categories:

1. Something ActivityPub already supports as a "SHOULD" or a "MAY": there's arguments to be made these would be better as "MUST", but either way there's no reason AT couldn't've just implemented ActivityPub with these added features.

2. Highly debatable improvements - as highlighted by this article. I do think some of this article is hyperbole but it certainly highlights that some of the proposed benefits are not clear cut.

3. Such a minor improvement as to be nowhere near worth the incompatibility.

All that coupled with the continuous qualifiers of it being incomplete/beta/WIP when there's a mature alternative really just doesn't present well.
