AI might be different - as has been predicted for many years now - due to the compounding effects on intelligence.

I didn't mean to propose there should be a single standard. But for Javascript oriented FaaS, you really will have a hard time finding a better paradigm than the one they've settled on for Workers imo.

amazing, thank you!

The use case I'm referring to is where someone (in this case, me) publishes code intended to be run on Cloudflare Workers or self hosted with workerd. Reasons you'd write first party code targeting workerd would be a different q

Thank you for releasing this! Had a question: if I have worker code that uses other Cloudflare storage APIs like KV or R2, what would you recommend as far as shimming those calls so this code could run via workerd (but, for example, just us

The main advantage to me is the dedication to using standardized browser APIs. They have done a really good job of applying the Service Worker API to the problem of server side functions, and having the whole system be “MDN compatible” just

This is great. The Cloudflare model for Workers really deserves to become a de facto standard that can be pulled off the shelf for open source serverless functions. Really excited they’re opening this up this way. It seems like a great posi

I didn't mean to insult you - but you do seem committed. You've for the third time now re-iterated that you do not want to understand my point. My point is, again, not about what will happen to Twitter et al in the future. It may

People are using the term “public town square” consequentially not based on if the forum is publicly owned. It is an analogy, that you still seem committed to interpreting it in a way it is not useful, even after I explained why it is use

Yep, you can choose thresholds based upon if you care more about Type I or II error. In this case, it should be easy to argue we should be setting the bar very high to be considered a public square. But it definitely should include Twitter

Well, you have a bad mental model then. It explains your position but you should try to update it.

Well good news, odds are SCOTUS will clarify.

I hope the internet returns to this model for like a dozen reasons. Insofar as we can be sure this kind of regulation gets there it should be celebrated imo.

It doesn’t matter who doesn’t have access or who chooses not to join. The entire point is they now affect you (and everyone alive, now or in the future) regardless - because of their scale and network.

You’re getting hung up on the analogy. Whatever things like Twitter and Facebook are, they seem to be distinctly new phenomena that have a critical role to play in upholding the principles of freedom of speech that underpins things like lib

The ruling is only in regards to very large websites with millions of MAU. In my opinion, applying laws regarding speech differently for such sites which act as 'public squares' is an important thing we, as a society, need to wr

Not really, people who are pro-life and take it seriously (in my experience, the vast majority of pro-lifers) would happily trade saving the lives of the unborn in exchange for treating the premise they are children seriously.

by gfodor 4y ago
No, the ruling claims the 1st Amendment is irrelevant in determining the regulation of censorship because censoring speech is not speech. They go on to claim the 1st Amendment has a role to play in determining permissible restrictions on co

The most compelling reason to argue against these kinds of laws is to think of their full consequences if suddenly illegal transactions were virtuous, as they have been in the past when totalitarian regimes have gained power. The present da

Yes, of course this is a huge challenge. That’s the point tho, the high order bit is we should want to solve these problems and support good faith actors who are actually trying to.

Yes, as with any protocol email is always subject to centralizing forces. But protocols like email (to me) represent the best possible approach to trying to counteract these forces for Internet applications. They aren’t a silver bullet but
445.
by gfodor 4y ago
Yes the maximally centralized form of a protocol like email is the one we have now where a few large actors can collude to cut you off from large swaths of the network. However, that’s different than a singular actor, but more importantly,

The latter - a system that is like e-mail (decentralized) but allows people to send money to each other. We have many such systems being developed, but you get downvoted on HN for promoting them, since people assume you are a scammer, a cri

by gfodor 4y ago
This is why we need a decentralized Internet payment system, like email. This was a non-controversial opinion not long ago.

Well, he's an anecdote for you - with my kids it was fine. You let them cry and poke your head in every 10 minutes or so to make sure they know they're not alone, but that the parent is right outside. Eventually they get the poi

You smuggled in two assumptions: - That forcing people to take a drug authorized under EUA with a relatively novel technology is a "basic safety measure" - That people who didn't comply with this "basic" measure are

Not all vaccines are the same. For example, I was never forced to take a vaccine to go to school that wasn't approved by the FDA.
