HEY.

whenever someone comes at you, a leftie, about the "tragedy of the commons," just remember:

- Elinor Ostrom won a goddamn Nobel Prize in Economics for pointing out that it was a bullshit idea.

- the commons worked as a concept for hundreds of years until the land was Inclosed.

- the dude that named the concept, Garrett Hardin, was literally a eugenicist and believed that letting people starve to death was a good form of population control.

@davidgerard my expectation is that it ends in the usual way: people loose money, then they move on, and use the technology like for things they don't understand. The impact of this technology will be a lasting one, and few people will be aware of epistemological challenges, as it always is when a technology gets normal.

@aral @panda The world must look at our wretched faces, our exhausted hearts, and our frail bodies; It must see those who yearn for a notebook and a pen, for hot food and cold water, and for a dim light instead of living in darkness; It must realize that its moral and humanitarian duty is to help us, rather than engaging in theorizing and skepticism.

I'm on board with basically all of this but I miss the focus on climate, green transition and biodiversity...

Yesterday, dozens of protesters, some of them carrying Palestinian flags, demonstrated in Dublin against US President Donald Trump's visit to Ireland. Demonstrators called for opposition to Trump and US imperialism.

#Oops. A benchmark that checks how good "AI" coding works on real code from real companies. The TL;DR: Nope, it doesn't work. Not even close.

"Does AI code match the bar of a real-world enterprise? Our results show us that we're far from that reality. [...] We've found that today's models are weaker at understanding company coding patterns and frequently miss requirements or don't verify their assumptions."

and it would just be super funny if the erasure coding was introduced because it also avoids some redundant crosstalk from his terrible lattice ratchet and restores the extremely clear surveillance signal that the current double ratchet approach provides to network adversaries

@peterrenshaw @steppe_lord @NotTheLBCGuy i see the substack has a pile of the sort of post you'd expect from someone who dropped in an "88" that isn't true

All the trustworthy news & analysis on #Israel’s ongoing #PalestinianGenocide in Gaza & the West Bank - and the heroic #Palestinian #resistance - that you won’t get from the genocide-enabling #Vichy #LegacyMedia - especially the #Zionist-run #BBC state propaganda ‘service’! Now also including Trump’s renewed attacks on Iran following the #US/ Israel surrender after #OperationEpsteinFury & Netanyahu’s ongoing “Greater Israel” desecration of #Lebanon!

I am writing to you with a heart full of pain… we are facing real hunger and have no food at all. My family may go to sleep without a single meal, and all we ask for is something to keep us alive.
Please, do not leave us alone in this hunger… your help today could save our lives.

@urlyman @Geri This should have been forestalled. There is too much complacency over what the far right is capable of.

Hi,
Might be tables rows in a database. I used this term too during my decades long IT career.
Not meant to be precise, but we know it's a shitload of data.

@pallenberg 🙌

and then when i finally got to the last fucking page of the triple ratchet paper he goes "oh actually we introduce this completely new erasure coding technique" which imho is just not a thing you can drop in on the last page of a paper about a protocol that the same guy introduced on the signal blog as "we are running this experimental mathematics i made up recently on your phone right now!"

@rwg Thank you! I switched from Libre office to LaTeX writing my dissertation because it frequently crashed, especially with Zotero and large files. However, LaTeX can also be an endless source of procastrination. Still think it was worth it not being stuck with docx.
