His whole blog is exactly the same kind of nonsense as the article and reeks of effective altruism. That's not an ad hominem.

Sadly they're very bad writers. Have you actually read the stuff they produced? Horrible. Yudkosky himself wrote https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Potter_and_the_Methods_o... It's so bad

"And I'm sorry, but you're not up to date about interpretability literature, or for that matter philosophical discourse," I see no citations referring to the current philsophical discourse, unless you mean to imply anthr

I get (and share some of) the frustration, but have yet to find anything better. XMPP and IRC are not it, for me. Neither give me a better experience nor are they easier for non-techies than matrix. I also empathize with the people behind t

Love Matrix/Element and how you deal with criticism. I've heard (and tried) the new experimental webapp. Is that actually something more than an experiment and will this see further development? I'm asking because I really en

No. The author simply sees it as basically complete and decided to spend the time he has fixing bugs instead of taking care of issues.

Maybe I'm confusing something, but I thought dendrite development had stopped due to budget concerns. I see now that there were actually recent releases on github.

Really appreciate your work and am thankful for matrix and element. As a user of Element call via the desktop app, I found myself sometimes confused whether I was actually using the new implementation or the legacy version. Has the move to

That's very interesting. Never had noticed anything like that. What kind of workloads are you seeing this with?

No, they always very actively did everything they could to get as much money and influence out of whatever political system they're operating under. The Nazis very happily and intentionally worked together with corporations and the cor

I was a bit surprised by that when I first learned that from a healthcare worker, but it's true. I think this should be taken care of by the employer.

We might have different ideas of what "sensible" means.

Love matrix. Improving the onboarding is a great step. I've seen less technical people have issues in that area until now. Mostly a desktop/web user myself, hoping all that Element X work will trickle down to us.

I'm sorry what? Skeptoid the podcast? Edit: Yes . In 2014. How did I miss that? Used to listen to that podcast, though probably stopped before that.

I personally don't believe an archival storage, at least for personal use. Data has to be living if it is to be kept alive, so keeping the data within reach, moving it to new media over time and keeping redundant copies seems like the

I'm from Germany and personally prefer Japanese fountain pens, but also value our local brands. I took for granted that I could go into any small stationary store and buy a LAMY or Pelikan any time I wanted as a child. "Also, a co

Yes, because an actual A.I. would somehow be free of biases and magically tend towards justice somehow.

Read his stuff years ago and it's so transparently ... stupid. You really have to be blessed with the right kind of mix between psychopathy and idiocy to think that he's somebody to listen to.

People have tried and you're right, there wasn't a lot of buy-in. It didn't help that these attempts were torpedoed aggressively by Microsoft, Google et al.

By the rest of Europe? Kinda. They always seem to have imagined themselves to sit halfway across the Atlantic instead of a few miles off the French coast.

I still remember when that happened. I was really bummed because Riot is just such a fun name. Didn't help that that particular company was the reason. I bet you were even more bummed though. It's interesting seeing a myth build a

As a very longtime user, I can say that the progress has been noticeable to me, especially in the last year or two. Having had a look at Element X (Android), it actually feels to me like that responsiveness is pretty much the last thing I w
