People are so soft now. Back in the day, we'd line up to see Harrison Ford do it; sometimes multiple times! Snowflakes, man

Wait, you are saying that people with more capital have more power under capitalism?

They run great on arm, too! I got a raspi 4 running everything smooth as butter. The most problematic aspect is interfacing with the usb drives; I eventually had to move them to a …

Celery Beat is pretty good

People who mainlined lesswrong think this.

What does that mean? Like a single domain that randomly routes to different sites or? And where would the database live?

I have it open on another tab, I use it pretty much every day. I've built incredible friendships in there; And when I started I knew nobody on the protocol. A lot of the people I a…

It's federated, mate. You don't need to be on the same server as your friends to talk to them.

Yes to all of those. The only issue is some smaller instances with limited admin bandwidth might only federate automatically with larger, well moderated instances to help reduce th…

Its the same thing. Rises on the network effect, falls on the network effect.

The value of these no-code solutions is in letting domain experts workout the requirements and prototype workflows to their own problems. If it stops scaling; that's a pretty good …

Can you do SSL?

A wallpaper generator could be a rad application of this, actually. You could feed some random poetry into gpt and the outputs of gpt into the input of this, randomly pick an outpu…

Yea, I was wondering about that; but the risk feels similar to a browser RCE to me. Maybe it's higher because browsers are more widely used/analyzed; but then again, a browser RCE …

The second finale was really good, too.

We do have real life targeted ads. The NYC Link terminals, for example, can detect tons of data about the devices people carry, and the comings and goings of the owners, and someti…

Are you high, sir?

> I think human nature will tend towards some kind of hierarchy Only if you ignore every society that that ever existed without a strict economic hierarchy, sure.

That is the epitome of fixed-mindset. We live in a world on near limitless abundance. We already live in a potential post-scarcity world. The only reason there are poor among us IS…

The alternative is letting a few monied lords gobble up the commons and rent it back out.

Wouldn't using a global CDN for everything be off the table to begin with, in that case?

YES! Why do they do that? It's so weird. I will deploy a whole config into us-west-1 or something; but then I need to create a new cert in us-east-1 JUST to let cloudfront answer a…

Oh, yes. Let me go look at the PERSONAL health dashboard and... oh, I need to sign into the console to view it... hmm
