I looked for info and didn’t find anything.

Obviously you could decode the code on the device that’s showing it, so why not also provide a link?

I have to assume that it’s because the mobile device must be one where they can check that you’re only running google approved software (play integrity or whatever it’s called these days, maybe the apple equivalent).

Well that was fucking dark. Good read though

Still team Emacs. We’re a team because we use elisp, not because of something trivial like how our text editors work.

machines will be able to ‘think like humans’ when it happens

Maybe AGI is just a brain-destroying pandemic?

I think a web of trust is a much more powerful concept. Users should be able to choose how they distribute and delegate trust.

The tree invite thing is what private torrent trackers have been doing for a long time.

You can audit the code but something like:

The rate of commits and new features seems rather high for a single person working by themselves

Is a huge problem in itself IMO. It implies there’s no real human oversight of the project.

Wouldn’t the transmission be directional to a satellite or possibly other aircraft? It doesn’t seem like something that would be useful on the ground.

Conventional cheerleading is just doing it to cheer on a team.

So they only have amateur predators?

It’s because CEOs don’t play cyberpunk, but they did try chatgpt and got an immediate boner thinking about all the people they could lay off.

That’s the scary thing. It can easily create more code than it can understand, and do it faster than human understanding can keep up with.

Furthermore, a peer review process is planned, through which the consortium members will mutually check and certify their operating systems and smartphone or tablet models. “This is intended to create transparency and replace trust with traceability.”

Still doesn’t sound very open.

I should be able to tell my bank to only trust devices running an OS signed by the grapheneos key, and more importantly I should be able to tell them to trust an OS signed by my key.

Edit: I don’t mean to shit on this too hard. It might be the best next step.

Every app does not need to check your birth date. An app will be able to query if the user is within one of a few broad ranges of age (e.g. under 18), but an app only has to do that if it needs to comply with some other legislation.

I’m like this too. I can go back to a city I’ve been to once, years ago, and I know the way around. I remember the layout and location of my childhood friends houses, even when I don’t remember their names.

I’m terrible at remembering exact quotes from books, TV, etc, but I have pins in my mental map for where the scenes took place, even in fictional worlds.

TODAY WE WILL HIT THEM WITH A FORCE THAT THEY HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE.

Shame? Empathy?

This is pennies to them.

Letting wealth accumulate to this extent seems incompatible with democracy. I hope we’re not past the point of no (peaceful) return.

Why do I feel good when I avoid stepping on the pavement cracks?

It’s one of the most mind blowing man-made things I’ve ever seen. The only thing I can think of that was similar to walking into it was walking into the building at Kennedy space centre with the Saturn V in it.

I was never as into Ween as some of my friends were, but The Mollusk is a masterpiece IMO.

It’s kinda like Mr Bungle - California. If you can casually make an album of pop music that good, you have my eternal respect, even if I never fully get into the less approachable work.

But in 1945, for the first time since the age of Columbus, it was contracting.

So the point of this speech was: don’t make the mistake of fighting fascism again.

Don’t think of it as a giveaway to the undeserving

Imagine even thinking this about bus fares, when there’s corporate welfare, subsidies, bailouts, and a tax code that heavily favours the wealthy.
