Is there any reason why doing that with Mastodon is worse?

I only use my phone for work slack, messaging friends/family, and reading ebooks.

People being annoyed enough to leave twitter is not synonymous with them also joining Mastodon.

I am curious, what are your biggest pain points?

"Years away" is shockingly closer than most of us would have assumed just a year ago, I think.

At least a bad faith signal makes it easy to bail from the discussion. Seemingly-honest, good faith confusion is somehow worse due to the obligation to clarify.

Very much so. Write first for yourself. Write to your own standard of quality. A borrowed standard is one never fully understood, nor knowingly achieved.

"Sound" as in "stable" might be a bit that helps.

> claiming that AI is generating something completely new is a bit naive IMHO. I don't see how AI art is less new than the vast majority of human art. Both can create unique compositions that are still deeply rooted in patterns an

Absolutely. Though I think that speaks to one of the ways we tend to discount the difficulty of developing human artistry, rather than a defense of AI gen being "not hard".

It seems to me that the human effort spent in creating the original images in an AI's data set is an important element to consider when thinking of the "difficulty" here.

I believe it makes up for that quite usefully by having a similar depth/height limit as width.

I was hoping for an argument outlining what seemed to be the thesis "Crypto has no future for a simple and irrefutable reason; it is based on logically incoherent ideas and serves no legal purpose." But instead the article takes t

I'm looking at this from an economics study view, not a public policy view. Definitions have an inherently arbitrary component, sure. But stable, precise definitions are far easier to reason with than a shifting definition like "w

Increased precision in base concepts makes it easier to measure and reason about the real-world drift from those bases.

That's certainly a model one could use, but it strikes me as not particularly useful.
146.
by catach 4y ago
Consider: Option 1: the definition of "capitalism" requires that zero regulation be applied. In that case, abandon "capitalism" and replace it with whatever you'd call the same model but with regulation. Option 2: a

If "capitalism" can't survive reasonable consumer protection then perhaps it deserves to die, sure.

Seems like this particular branch is talking about the suitability of using woodworking for the analogy.

Sometimes an agenda is as simple as "I really like this thing, and I think you'd like it too". I believe this is off-putting primarily due to the mental antibodies people must develop in an advertising-saturated culture. The
