If you look at every investment in “AI” as the ruling ownership class trying to find a way to make profit without having to pay actual people, all of their enthusiasm begins to make sense.
The absolute most frustrating thing about stateres design so far, is that "you cannot prove that something happened earlier, only that it happened later"
Ruby and #Rails #jobs don't just have a junior problem. They also have a cross-training problem. Companies claim to have trouble hiring senior software engineers. Their job ads reveal why.
They aren't just asking for seniors--they're asking for years of experience in their specific tech stack. If you're having trouble finding workers but you're turning down people with 10+ years of experience in other languages who want to move into #ruby, you're missing out!
The Braillnet project exists to this day, although the BBS and phone numbers are down, users can still access their e-mail, the personal websites the users could create under the Braillnet domain are still up serving software, literature and music created by the community and the FTP with anonymous access is a treasure trove of early notetaker goodies, DOS and early Windows software and useful information in txt files that would have been of great use to the community back then. Always worth exploring it with a translation service of your choice. http://braillnet.cz/sons/bplus.htm
it's interesting how much anarchism has transformed the way I think about, well, everything really. it's almost less a political ideology and more of a worldview and philosophy to me (though the political side is ofc still essential). I guess this is what post-anarchists are talking about? I should read more of their stuff...
If algorithmic systems are harming people and they have little other means to stop them, why shouldn’t those systems be destroyed? @ali

Pica has taught us that she prefers to eat off of white glazed dishes with a low edge, and please plate the cat food in the center and heap it up with a fork.
(Yes she has meowed and refused to eat because the food was not centered or she didn't like the plate!)
@arianvp (And well, we don't have any known-good stateres mechanism, that I know of...)
@arianvp The problem with fuzzing stateres is that the determination of "is this outcome reasonable" is very difficult to make if you do not already have a known-good stateres mechanism, because you're testing against user expectations and not against a singular technical property.
I'm working on a state resolution algorithm for #Atoki today (which, who knows, might make it into #Matrix some day too). And I could use some help.
Please send me your most cursed event graphs that you would expect to break a state resolution algorithm and be exploitable! I'd like to check that it can deal with these cases *before* deploying it out in the wild.
Don't really care about the format, as long as it describes the graph well enough to understand the weirdness. Diagrams are fine, DOT syntax is fine too, textual descriptions too.
For any given problem, there's usually a space of "solutions that aren't immediately obvious, but that you would run into very quickly if you made any proactive effort at all".
The easiest way to determine whether someone genuinely cares about an issue, or is just pretending that they do, is to see if they're coming up with solutions like that.

My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.
