Oh, I misunderstood. So you mean federating with their network from other software implementing the AT Protocol? From skimming the docs it looks like it should be possible as long as you implement the correct schemas, but I didn’t dive very deep.

Self-hosting a Bluesky PDS means running your own Personal Data Server that is capable of federating with the wider Bluesky social network.

Seems like it

They did just fire the GitHub CEO and merge the company into their AI branch, though 🤮

If your shits are made of cotton or polyester I think your diet contains too much fiber…

Yes, if it doesn’t contain actual tea leaves it is technically an infusion.

I feel like you would appreciate Salad Theory

In your defense, it’s actually spelled “albedo”.

I think they’re talking about the restaurants themselves. McDonald’s used to have some wild interiors!

Great brewers, but I’m not sure I would recommend Chemex for single serve. They’re a little large for small batches.

Personally I would go for a Hario V60 (01 or 02 size) or a Cafec drip brewer (the Deep 27 is perfect for single cup brewing!). They’re easily available, and the filters are also both cheap and easy to find.

While I wholeheartedly agree that universal basic income should be a thing, I still think it’s deeply problematic that unthinking machines replace people specifically in fields of artistic expression.

While AI can produce pretty convincing images in many styles, the actual expression of experience, feelings and general humanity is gone. Even disregarding the hardship of the artists being replaced (or assuming UBI will be a satisfying solution for them), that loss in itself is a good enough reason to be skeptical.

The main reason for the existence of art is to share human experience, and to be able to experience the world from another perspective than your own. This is a hugely important role in society that is very easily overlooked, and one that is completely lost with naïve use of AI.

Two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.

They are blaming the billionaires (or their companies), for making the thing nobody wanted so they can make money off of it. The guy making a five-breasted woman is a side effect.

And sure, that one image only uses a moderate amount of power. But there still exists giant data centers for only this purpose, gobbling up tons of power and evaporating tons of water for power and cooling. And all this before considering the training of the models (which you better believe they’re doing continuously to try to come up with better ones).

Cargo cult cat!

Chimplantees

I’ve always tried to tell my SO this, but she’s been skeptical. Now, we’re renting a smaller apartment while renovating our bath, and she absolutely detests having only one sink basin!

You jest, but…

Indeed! And they do under representational democracies. In a community there will always be some sort of law or code, whether written or not, that some members of that community disagree with.

Absolutely agree! First past the post will always drift toward larger and less representative parties. Even proportional representation can have this tendency, but it is much more resilient.

This is exactly what happens with democratic societies

No. This is what happens when you have two sides, both too large to really represent anyone, battling for a sliver of majority using increasingly diverging views and then exercising as much power as they can before the roles flip again.

In an actual democracy representatives of the people, with many differing views, sit down together and decide case by case on a solution that most can be happy with.

Someone will always disagree with any decision when we live in a large society, but a functioning democracy is the closest thing we have ever come to making sure that as many as possible are happy (and more importantly get a say).
