we're full circle from the 40 meter band! jokes aside, and perhaps romantizicing noisy channels, but the fact that communication was not guaranteed maybe made it more appealing (th…

This is interesting. I agree, to some extent, but there's nuance in what do you include in the objectification of the concept. The usual argument, as I perceive it, is that we can …

Just a hypothesis: the fact that there's no need for an American firewall might be a consequence of the information controls being enacted at the level of platform moderation, or D…

But that is precisely what I was talking about. You do not seem to find any commonality between censoring different categories of websites or apps. As far as I understand it, "medi…

Without wanting to enter into ideological debate too much, it seems a contradiction to invoke such rules when precisely the country we're talking about has boosted their GDP by sel…

There's an interesting cognitive bias in the western media that tends to define freedom of the press (and freedom of expression) as exactly what is perceived as freedom in this sid…

You can always migrate.

For additional context (I think some was lost on a bug tracker migration), he's the author of https://gitlab.com/akihe/radamsa , a fuzzer implemented in owl, that was quite popular…

I knew that name (author, and lisp) was familiar: https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40054453

The second iteration will be interactive books - like that forsaken episode of Black Mirror was exploring. Taking us one step closer to "Diamond Age". Human connection doesn't nece…

I agree. It is ironic that, at the very least, a LLM will maybe _improve_ the quality of a particular segment of publications.

> Better math and even computation doesn't necessarily help in some cases It is my impression that, at least on the topic of climate modelling, climate change denialism (which, fra…

Sounds good. Sadly, there's this thing called "hyper-stimulus" - someone mentioned recently "Infinite Jest" and the desire to watch a particular video over and over again. I do thi…

After some custom wooden cases for my ergodox, I'm really excited about the keyboardio model 100 https://keyboard.io/ basically an ergodox with style, and what seems a bit more erg…

Solarpunk. Ultra-low-powered whisper radio telecommunications across the globe. People baking ICs in their basements. Hardware that can be repaired for decades, disaster-proof Oper…

You might be referring to some of the studies associated with the "original affluent society" proposal. To think that all basic needs can be covered by a 3-5 hours of work a day is…

"We'd like this report to help increase climate literacy worldwide." First time I hear the expression, but it might be key to unlock any action.

I would say there's a big problem when some of those lunatics are at the steering wheel of big nation states. So yeah, maybe not everyone, but the reward matrix in this game makes …

Sure, I know that :) Today, many people are experiencing very unlikely events, unknown to them and to previous generations. While you cannot experience a trend , you do modulate yo…

I guess you're referring to media jumping too quickly to "bad science" for every single event of floods, drought, fires etc, therefore using fear and producing saturation in fellow…

Direct experience. I guess there always be deniers in the curve of beliefs (deniers of thermodynamics, for instance), but what worries me is the difference between knowing and know…
