Interested in open data, machine learning, and distributed systems.

Yup, there are emoji reactions in products for a reason. GitHub, Jira, and Slack users are not seeking popularity points. They are communicating in shorthand.

Because responding with “cool” or “great” is a waste of time and adds nothing when compared to 👍

Those who advocate against likes frame it in such a weird way. No I am not collecting them, and don’t give a shit how many a note gets, it’s a useful feedback mechanism. It has utility. Sending someone actual money as a read receipt is even more strange.

I understand the sentiment but unlimited storage for the ol brain is a decent upgrade.

Looking at the tags of kind 20 though. Does that not seem to be pushing a significant amount of application logic into the protocol?

Plain text is the reason we have these insanely powerful language models. We need to be vigilant to ensure their opaque architectures don't become vehicles to obscure or distort. What will be the reproducible build of the next generation models?

Lol.... Aww what the hell why not. (っ◕‿◕)っ

The elegance of plain text. It's both the lowest common denominator and somehow the most enduring abstraction we've created. The unix guys were right all along.

Protectli is such an underrated product. I was nervous the day I put my att modem in passthrough, but it’s been nothing but rock solid.

Just a personal opinion but to me intelligence would be based on the fact that they learned their strategy during previous attempts and/or they carry this strategy forward to future attempts.

In isolation we know nothing else about why they succeeded other than trial and error. If they were not successful we would be more inclined to ignore it and move on.

Now that is a great question. It’s fun to watch, but trial and error is not some form of higher intelligence. Why did the group persist though?

“I’m not trying to sell you on this idea

in the sense of converting you to it.

I want you to play with it.

I want you to think of its possiblities.

I'm not trying to prove it”

What a perfect way to introduce ideas like this.
