Shared by just small circles 🕊

@leroy It's a separate platform using ActivityPub and can communicate with Mastodon, etc.

It's modular. Devs can create plug-ins to add features. For example, you can run different "apps", including social (Mastodon-like), community (Forum-like) while using the same core components but different feature sets.

The social app is the first release candidate, with a unique feature of boundaries, your posts can be shared to specific people within your "circles".

Go is 80/20 language: blog.kowalczyk.info/article/d-

Good piece, a bit misleading on a couple of Go details but essentially right I think. I spent my last 20 years of employment working in Java-heavy BigTech shops, and they’ve been making Java progressively worse for decades by adding fripperies at the cost of hideous complexity. Looks like Go will avoid that fate.

If I have to see this goddamn "spatial ability" argument one more time. Get more specific. What type of spatial ability you absolute clowns. Exactly what task, and explain how you address the spatial ability conflation with gender problems. Explain why and how these diffs vanish when you include all the spatial tasks THAT RESEARCHERS REMOVED BECAUSE GIRLS WERE GOOD AT THEM

Gender Differences in Spatial Ability: a Critical Review - Educational Psychology Review

Spatial ability has long been regarded as important in STEM, and mental rotation, a subcategory of spatial ability, is widely accepted as the cognitive ability with the largest gender difference in favor of men. Multiple meta-analyses of various tests of spatial ability have found large gender differences in outcomes of the mental rotation test (MRT). In this paper, we argue that more recent literature suggests that the MRT is not a valid measure of mental rotation ability. More importantly, we argue that the construct of “spatial ability” itself has been co-constructed with gender, and thus has not been devised in a neutral way, but in a manner that is influenced by gender beliefs. We discuss that though spatial thinking is also required in feminized fields, past research has cast spatial ability as only necessary in masculinized STEM fields. Due to a prevailing belief that spatial ability was an inherently male ability, researchers “selectively bred” some spatial assessment instruments to maximize gender differences, rather than to precisely measure a spatial construct. We argue that such instruments, of which the MRT is one, cannot validly assess between-group differences, and ideas about biological or evolutionary causes of sex differences in spatial ability lack empirical evidence. Instead, the co-construction of gender and spatial ability better explains observed patterns. We also provide recommendations for spatial researchers moving forward.

I find it hilarious that this post popped off

I guess we're all tired of the "spatial ability" hand waving (spatial ability is neither well defined nor well measured nor cleanly predictively associated with things like 'being able to do software')

‘혼인평등’ 헌법소원 낸 동성부부…“정치·제도 빼고 다 바뀌고 있어요” hani.co.kr/arti/society/societ
"서울동부지방법원은 예상대로 지난 4월 두 사람의 혼인신고 불수리 불복 소송을 각하하고 위헌법률심판제청도 기각했다. 다시 그 결과를 쥐고 찾은 곳이 헌법재판소다. 올해 1월부터 같은 과정을 겪은 다른 동성 부부들이 순차적으로 참여하는 헌법소원심판 대열에 지난달 합류했다. “동성 결혼을 허용하지 않는 민법의 위헌 여부를 따져 달라”는 것이다. 국내에서 동성혼 법제화를 요구하는 첫 헌법소원들이다."

“많은 사람이 ‘우리 대통령, 일 너무 잘 한다’고 좋아하는데, 우리에게는 다른 세상 이야기로 들려요.” 이재명 대통령 취임 2주째가 된 지난 18일, 조삼식(35·가명), 김경수(38·가명)씨 부부는 씁쓸하게 웃으며 말했다. 삼식, 경수씨가 말하는 ‘우리’는 자신과

現状考えてるのはTLを定期的に読んでユーザーの特徴と雰囲気に合った投稿を生成させてリプライ時には事前に確認したユーザーの特徴を何個か記憶させながらチャットという形にさせる
ここで問題点がリプライ時に別ユーザーが割り込んでくるとだいぶややこしくなる点
AIは基本ユーザーと一対一だと思うので割り込まれると困る

Show me the Pull Requests.

I keep hearing boosters / talking heads claiming that have transformed software development, "it's not just about prototyping - AI is writing solid production code", etc.

So here's a challenge:

Share some AI-derived pull requests that deal with non-obvious corner cases or non-trivial bugs from mature projects. I'll also accept high-quality documentation that isn't just the sort of wasted space & slop that I always tell juniors not to write.

很好奇，一般來說，股東會站在勞工的角度說話還是資方？感覺是資方，企業績效越好報酬越多，當然我賺越多；如果站在勞工角度，放假越多，營收越差，賺得就少
