Stories make things memorable. That is useful and not bad for intelligence. Simple example: An apple dropped on his head and so he discovered gravity. Story telling is a tool which can be misused to make wrong or bad things memorable.

I do agree that we might live peacefully with AIs because they need different things. Two points: We still compete for space and energy at the very least. Humans are sympathetic to animals because we are alike. We don’t want animals to suff

Is there a difference between evil and indifferent if you are on the receiving end? Humanity is largely indifferent to animal welfare and animals would qualify it as evil how we treat them.

I like the arrow semantics: Dashed with line tip is „depends on“. Straight with triangle tip is „inherits from“. Standardizing them is useful.

What is a pain is „joining a remote community nobody on your instance has joined so far“. For the usual cases the normal UI should work fine.

Lemmy is evil because the devs host lemmy.ml and it links to the lemmygrad.ml instance which is evil? Too indirect an argument for me.

Here is how the comparison looks to me: Assume you are a HN user and you heard about this interesting lobsters community. Case 1: Different website, create an account there. Case 2: ActivityPub vision, search for !lobsters, click join Case

Federation makes it easier for users to join. If you don’t need that, there are plenty self-hosted alternatives. For example, HN itself.

https://join-lemmy.org/ Lemmy is a federated Reddit clone. It already works and is available. As far as I know currently the best alternative. Please, join a smaller instance currently. The biggest ones are already overload

Little addition: The Lemmy-verse does notice increased activity. https://beehaw.org/post/468998 If you want to join, probably better use one of the smaller instances.

Currently it surely cannot handle the scale of Reddit. They do „tens of thousands“ now and will have to discover the bottlenecks for „hundreds of thousands“ first. Anyways, maybe this gives Lemmy a boost towards the next level.

https://join-lemmy.org/ Lemmy is still too obscure to be on the radar i guess.

Apple squeezes profits from their suppliers very aggressively. They operate very similar to the automotive industry there. Even more aggressive probably because they have a larger market share than any car OEM.

Some Infineon MCUs have lockstep multicore. Probably not necessary for the computing power you need for engine control though.

Forth and Lisp/Scheme and TCL are in the same league. However, they are more alien to C programmers, I assume.

I think you should try TLA+. I found it surprisingly easy: https://beza1e1.tuxen.de/tla-plus.html Still haven’t found an opportunity to use it professionally though.

Constructive feedback is useful. Why should I feel bad about it? I feel grateful that someone helps me improve. In the case of a snarky comment, I would assume the reviewer has some personal issues. I feel bad for them, not me. A honest mis
