That was the claim, but it’s clearly a lie. First, they’ve defederated with and blocked hundreds of instances, not two. It looks like close to 1,000. You can review yourself here: https://beehaw.org/instances

Second, it appears they have even more moderators than the instances with which they defederated. More than enough to keep illegal content off the instance. But that’s not the intended goal. They want content off the instance which is ideologically opposed to the owner. They make that clear in the instance description. They want more moderation than Reddit, which is already filled with insular ideological spaces.

The users are all very much on board with this ideological purity. They freely admit it, so I’m not sure why you would contend it.
I only hope the AI will be less racist than the humans currently writing for Kotaku.

>>> China is the most indebted country in history.

Last time I checked China was ~23T in debt vs USA’s ~32T. They also have a population almost 5 times larger.
I agree. The US (and other western countries) have let themselves fall victim to all sorts of corrupt ideologies; this has created short term 'limited liability' reward structures which have encouraged a short term mindset. Instead of focusing on fixing internal issues, the US decided to run their economy on the misery of others by starting wars in faraway lands, manipulating foreign governments, saddling them with debts to create artificial demand for USD to export inflation, then they monopolized 'the internet' with their own government-anointed big tech monopolies. Zero focus on creating real, profitable, value-adding businesses. Zero ethics.

China won this round fair and square... The smartest thing the west can do from now on is dump fiat currencies, switch to crypto and leave China holding the paper, but the longer the west fails to acknowledge that China beat it at its own game, the further it will fall.
But they are confident everything is done well!

This is a very mathematically inspired introduction, as they say in the initial chapter.

What I would like to see is a logical introduction to computer science, or at least theoretical computer science.

Start with combinational logic [1], i.e. with Boolean circuits. They are both conceptually simple and relatively close to physical transistors, unlike any functional / mathematical approach. Then move on to sequential logic[2] which allows the introduction of memory/states, e.g. via flip-flops. From this, more complex circuits and even a primitive GOTO language would be introduced. What I would be interested in is how these circuits relate to the traditional models of computation, i.e. finite state machines, pushdown automatons and Turing machines. Not very cleanly, I suspect.

I hate Veritasium's clickbait, and I think most of his videos are very poor, but this one is the exception. It's very well put together. The first ten minutes of the video is exactly how I introduce entropy to people.

Of course I can't give him a pass on how crass it was telling that women he has a PhD in physics (he does not). The video would have been so much better without that two seconds of footage...

You went from hash functions are invertible to hash functions contain subroutines that are invertible. Which is true of pretty much everything.

> For instance, a non-invertible hash function can be obtained as the sum of two invertible functions. For simplicity, one of the two invertible functions may be the identity function, as it is done in SHA-1, SHA-2 and a very large number of other frequently used hash functions.

I dont understand what you are trying to reference here? Are you trying to claim that the compression function in a Merkle–Damgård hash function is invertible? Because it isn't (or at the very least usually designed in such a way that we do not know how to)

> Amazon could automatically include the name of the product in each review

And photos, the original listing ones before the user ones.

This wouldn't help for example with different revisions of the same product, but still would do wonders against sellers recycling say reviews of a cat litterbox to sell a pair of shoes.

> But how to automatically discount reviews that don't match the new product name

That could really work but the discount should be 100% on the seller, otherwise Amazon would have no incentives.
Note that this particular megatsunami is completely irrelevant when we're talking about Fukushima. Because context matters. You can't just say "oh we had 500 meter megatsunamis, Fukushima should have protected against those".

The one you linked happened:

- in a narrow bay

- with a dual-slide that involved both a huge rockfall, and a huge release of sediment connected to a glacier breaking off

It's also the first time I've heard of this event, and.... Just wow. Never thought it would be possible

With that you mean that in tech the value extraction has been in the hands of only a few players (which is exactly what you'd expect in a global market with near-perfect competition. To some extent you could say the entire cause of this is that governments allow multinational companies to exist at all).

Value production for the internet was mostly done for free. Both where it comes to end users and the hosting they needed. And yes, sometimes by "wasting investor dollars" (of course investigating new things, wasting dollars, is exactly what investment is supposed to do, that it does that is why investment is allowed).

And ironically this goes multiple steps up the value chain. Users and mods are complaining to reddit that they don't "pay" them enough. Reddit is complaining that Google/FB/even OpenAI at the moment don't "pay" them enough by trying to take in ads directly, and presumably training their own AIs soon on "their" data. Elon Musk is complaining that he's providing data for free (it's even costing him some money, even though not anywhere close to the amount he implies) and not getting the dollars AI companies are attracting with "his (users)" data.

The real value in OpenAI is that Google's position is that they are the arbiter of where users go. Users decide where to put their attention 99% ... and Google 1% (and FB 0.1%, and reddit 0.01%). But OpenAI is a serious threat to Google's 1%, because it can give better answers and therefore will have the perfect, most expensive, place to put ads if things keep going the way they're going.

For Google this is a lose-lose proposition. Either they win, get to keep their position because they get the best Chatbot. However, running this chatbot is much more expensive than Google search (and they will need to restart their revenue optimization with angry shareholders screaming at them. There is no adwordsLLM yet). So they'll need to run a much more expensive internet scrape on a regular basis, and figure out how to run ads on this new platform, just to maintain the position they currently still have. Shareholders don't care, they just want to see Google's dollar amounts go up 20% per year as they did for a decade. And if Google doesn't do this massive investment? Well, they may lose everything.

Funny how apt the old Futurama joke has become "the internet has always been about the free and open exchange of somebody else's ideas".

Futurama meant Napster. But Reddit has exactly this business model. Google has exactly this business model. Twitter ... etc. I bet the tech sector has actually made more money on this than even the most absurd claims of the RIAA say Napster has cost them.
> They are BS under the first definition.

I provided a study which shows high correlation. Do you have any evidence to the contrary?

what if we had some sort of ICANN like service for usernames and app names, and to store metadata about all the networks, including a graph of the federation, ie who's federated with who... to me the biggest failings is usernames, and taxonomies. If I register a channel or username on lemmy, can I create the same channel and username on kbin? That's a huge fail, when you want something like Reddit, and I think Reddit was the best social network ever until the Corp destroyed it.

The premise though, curated content and forums like Wikipedia meets Usenet, was brilliant. What comes next needs to be maybe partially centralized mostly federated.

Using an entity component system felt like writing very fancy spaghetti code in my limited experience with the Bevy game engine in Rust. No longer having direct references between objects means the type system isn't nearly as useful and I found it very hard to reason about the code. I can believe it becomes useful in very large systems but it was just a hinderance in the small program I was writing.
Check out enshitification. No one went into google or youtube knowing that in 20 years time, their service would be overrun with ads. Everyone has been lured into cheap services by the deliberate and dishonest behavior of the providers.
Should a few dozen deaths -- as absurd as it is to put the blame squarely on oil producers and not on, for example, Chinese coal-burning plants -- be countered by the enormous number of lives saved because an oil company allowed people to heat their homes during freezing cold winters, to cool them during this heat wave, and enable millions of ambulance rides when people are having heart attacks, etc? I'd say oil, overall, is way net positive in its contributions to society. The fact that this county won't ban oil is evidence that virtually everybody agrees.
> if China actually effectively deployed a zero covid policy initially - it's up to you whether you think the reports to this effect are true or not - then a mask-less concert is in fact pretty safe as long as you're not allowing foreigners to bring COVID into the country.

I mean it is not actually a matter of belief. We know how infectious COVID was, and we know life in China pretty much resumed as normal by August 2020, except for hard lockdowns wherever a case popped up. You cannot hide exponential growth of infections, it is simply impossible.

I concur.

I do think software like gotosocial is the future of ActivityPub, it certainly isn't there yet, indeed.

Mastodon, I'm afraid, has tainted ActivityPub¹. Maybe even beyond fixing. Mastodon is architectured and developed for large servers. It's performance is terrible (It's Rails) for a one-man-show, but optimized and pretty good, for a server (or fleet) for (tens)of thousands of people. There's no incentive to change this. If a choice has to be made between "ease or operation for a single person instance" over a "ease of operation for a thousands-people instance" the latter will always win. Same for performance, security and features.

Gotosocial, OTOH, has the incentives reversed. I'm convinced it will only become easier to host for your personal instance. Only gain more features for such an instance and prioritize fixing issues so self-hosters benefit, rather than community-admins.

¹Edit: AP isn't designed around large federated servers. The protocol, albeit convoluted, is perfectly fine for a situation in which each user is her own server. It's mastodon that has turned AP into a de-facto "one-server-thousands-users" model. Without Mastodon, AP wouldn't exist, I'm not trying to make Mastodon look bad, I like the project.

Yeah, the more I look into this, the more complicated it seems. I didn't realize the balance of the gases was so important, I thought I just needed more oxygen. A CO2 scrubber would seem to have the same issue, right?

I agree I could just increase ventilation, and that's what I'm doing now. But I recently realized that many extremely-productive people are getting their productivity from using stimulants like caffeine, and so now I'm wondering what other things I could modify in my life to be more productive. I'm just trying to optimize everything.

This is something we have to consider too when discussing the cost/danger-benefits of nuclear energy.

Hi :)
What's your opinion of the other comment in this thread pointing out the NIEHS study "Is CO2 an Indoor Pollutant?", which concluded that even going from 600ppm to 1000ppm made a difference?
I'd argue there are a lot more people who can moderate than can code, and it's much easier to learn to moderate than code. How many millions of redditors are there?

I think people here really want Reddit to die for it's bad behavior and are doing a lot of wishful thinking.
"Piorun’s new generation seeker is equipped with two photodiode sensors that work within two electromagnetic radiations: near-infrared and mid-infrared. The signal is instantly digitalized, quickly making corrections and analyzing the heat source, distinguishing between targets and diversions."

That will probably also disincentivise users from leaving reviews because users will see their reviews disappear.

And actually what's to stop people changing a listing if they're not happy with the current set of reviews?

Some kind of slick UI to highlight differences from current listing to previous listing for a review might be a solid scalable compromise
Increased alertness, coupled with greater O2 use = greater CO2 production from the increase in respiration - not a straight line as the body will use what it needs and will ramp consumption only if there was a prior deficiency. Increase in CO2 produced also drive faster respiration as the body has detectors for extra CO2 = homeostasis.
Pointers are just indexes into memory space. Seems to me that if Rust is trying to solve a general programming problem the borrow checker needs to handle all indexes, not just those specialized for memory space.

Legally no, you are a customer if you have a contract .

same way we are a tenant( and have rights) even if you don’t pay rent.

Disputes are resolved via arbitration and courts , no payment does not give GCP ( or any vendor) unilateral right to terminate (the contract however possibly might ) .

Usually vendor has to give notice of termination and there would be a time window before termination can occur .

Unpaid dues are like unpaid mortgage there are many steps before the vendor can get a court to force the party to make payment or seize assets in lieu

It's a guarantee that hydrogen production will take off, and in the long-run disrupt basically everything else. All of the critics are trapped in the mentality that green hydrogen will always be expensive. They are totally oblivious to the possibility that it could be practically free.

But it will be practically free, or at least close to it. And that's the problem for all possible competition. How do you compete with something that is either free or close to it? You can't. So in long-run, anything that can be directly displaced by hydrogen will be driven out of the market.

Genuinely curious, do you happen to have a link about that? When did it happen? The ‘70s, the ‘80s? I’m on my (small-screen) phone and I’m also a little lazy to try and search for it right now.

More generally, I feel that the outside investments that bring in lots of money for those involved is not a topic that has been given too much attention, all the focus is on stuff such as trade deficits and the like.

The British Empire managed to partially thrive on that kind of investment philosophy for much of the 19th century, the French, too, from a certain point on (even though 1917 and the Bolsheviks getting to power did them a good one).

I suspect the same thing has been happening to the US for a long time now (from just after WW2? I couldn’t tell), they’re not balancing their trade deficits based on “money printing” alone.
Could I ask for some advice?

I was gifted a new rando chinese IP cam that uses the mobile app. It's not googlable. I've been using as a outside security camera. The camera saves to an SD card continuously, and has a paid option to use the cloud which I did not take. It has a mobile app, KP WIFICAM, which lets me view the feed in real-time even over the Internet.

I can even view or download the past few days of recordings on the SD card from a menu. However, they are separated into chunks of 10 minutes, so I would have to manually download nearly 100 files files (tap, Download, wait to finish, move to next clip) to get a single day of recordings.

How could I automate/simplify the downloading of these clips from the SD cards to my laptop? How is the mobile app listing the recordings and fetching them?

I ran a tool called Agent-DVR and it found the camera feed using a format called ONVIF. So I think the mobile app uses this protocol https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29159422/get-data-from-l... , is there a tool like this available for Linux I could use without spending a couple of days installing a developer environment and writing my own code?
