It has ActivityPub support, which in some ways (at least for me) is even better -- this means that you can e.g. follow Betula accounts from Mastodon (or Bonfire, etc.) and see what they bookmark.

What if it's garbage collection and NN training/backprop time? Then it starts sounding like a great deal to me at least.

I've been an early access user for a few months and I'm really enjoying Beeper -- I hope they continue to deliver like this and can scale the operations as needed. I currently use through it: Telegram, WhatsApp, RCS (Android Mes

For others who were also stumped here for a bit: it seems your text got mangled, likely by triggering markup rules. ITYM 44100 = (2 x 3 x 5 x 7)^2

Even worse, I can confirm that logging in is not sufficient, despite what the initial call to action seems to claim. After logging in the article is still incomplete and the dialog is changed to one prompting the user to "upgrade&quo

I think it's an opinion, not objective fact. I respect your opinion but as a fellow argentinian I don't think this is true in every case, or even in most cases.

Is it bad I think this is a decent high level algorithm? As in, the user then filling in details or asking the assisting model to fill them in via subsequent prompts seems like a solid start to a problem solving session.

I try to move all Twitter conversations to Matrix, IMHO it's good enough, federated and supports E2EE encryption already. Not all people are ready to make the jump but an increasing ratio seems interested. Also it's a bridge/

Although it sounds cliched, let's be the change we want to see? We truly can get away more often with just doing things differently, according to our own values, in the software world. Still.

"p.s. Comments are open. Tell it like it is.." Followed by no comments section at all -- is a great distillation of how the web has changed in the intervening 17 (!) years.

I agree it's a great place to start; it is much shorter, and contains stronger (or more obvious anyway) links with mathematics, graph theory. We did a Christopher Alexander reading club some months ago and took some notes as a group us

As an aside, that sounds like a smart cat, not a stupid one. Perhaps your cat enjoys seeing you react to its shenanigans? :)

I know Star Control II relatively well, even though I have not played it yet, thanks to the CRPG Addict: http://crpgaddict.blogspot.com/2019/03/game-321-star-control... I can highly recommend this blog for detaile

Perhaps try meditating for ten minutes; it often works for me. Medito ( https://anagora.org/go/medito ) is a good free and open source app for mindfulness meditation, produced by a nonprofit.

Max Tegmark covers this in Our Mathematical Universe. It's a question of definitions. He makes the argument that defining "universe" to mean "our visible universe", that is, a radius of around 14B ly, is the most us

I'm sorry to read. Mine doesn't, I'm lucky. flancian is a pseudonym but many people know my real name, it's no secret.

Ahoy! I have to clarify at this point the Agora is not based on [[underlay]]; they are just a reference I go back to often in the context of [[distributed knowledge graphs]]. I know Samuel Klein though and I'm looking forward to coll

Yes, I agree of course :) The Agora tries to be complementary to these efforts; I hope to be able to make it compatible with every open standard and semantic web project out there, in a way that makes said projects and standards available a

The Agora tries to be client-agnostic; in that sense it can be based on whichever client/editor you prefer :) Having said that, logseq is very promising as it's based on precisely the same architecture that the Agora uses now: M

My apologies, my comment should have been attached to the parent :) Thank you for your comment! I agree with, well, all of it -- as it stands now the Agora is decentralized only for users that can control their own infrastructure; and is in

I won't try to dispel this notion; I think your opinion is valid. I'll just say that in my experience Google is made up from a majority of people with good intentions :) I'm interested in discussing how precisely Google could

Exactly, thank you. I understand there is often a reaction to seeing "copyright by Google"; but I researched it and it didn't seem to have any consequences of note. The one thing I know of is that contributors to the projec
