Iโve tooted about open models probably not being a way out of knowledge capture in the past few days. This article is an excellent deep dive into the issues. And it has sources!
- High end hardware available to consumers is not usually sufficient to run the models without severe compromises
- With the death of quality open data, advancing models requires larger and larger piles of money and hardware. And itโs not clear how the open community would ever close this gap.

PSA: Apple has an obscure service/feature called โiTunes Matchโ โ conceptually itโs very similar to iCloud Photo Library.
Iโve been using it for years.
In practice, it is **not** reliable. I recommend you do not use it.
Imagine where Facebook would be today if Zuckerberg had invested in renewable power instead of reimagining Wii Sports as a shopping mall for your face.
I have some pieces for my-notes that would be, in many ways, much better than what Iโve been posting lately.
But I canโt write them. Or, at the very least, I canโt publish them.
And this is fantastic on the one hand, but a sort of curse on the other. Who knows, maybe one day I will, perhaps in a less direct way.
It might seem sad, but itโs actually the opposite: when some of the best parts of your life canโt be told, it means youโve lived through some definitely interesting experiences.
The "live location" sharing situation is fucking abysmal. There are situations where it's totally reasonable that you may want to let someone track your phone in realtime - such as meeting an online date for the first time and wanting to make sure a friend knows where you are just in case. Your choices are basically "make sure you both have iPhones," "use Google Maps," "use WhatsApp," or "let some shady company like Life360 sell your location data." It's insane we don't have better options.

@silverpill does the OP appear as FO to the mastodon user, does the Mastodon user reply with their FO collection?

Oh hey, our new website design is live:
It's more reflective of what we actually are (nerds carving out a friendly hosting company in a "scrapped" datacentre, with recycled servers) and it features a new pricing page which is either more or less confusing than the old one. Let us know!
Did you know we run the whole thing off approx 550W of power? Seven physical servers, two switches and all of our VMs, serving thousands of users, for less power than a security light!

Heard about the am-dash (https://www.theamdash.com/) on the latest episode of 99 Percent Invisible.
As I understand it, there's no unicode for the am-dash yet. While I have downloaded Times New Human and Areal, I wouldn't now how to actually get the am-dash in a LaTeX-generated document, since the command to get it is more than a single character.
I hacked something together, but obviously that's not the same.
Does anybody know how to do it properly? Or maybe someone has already contacted Cocogun to ask if they'd be willing to collaborate on a project to make a tiny LaTeX package or something, just so we can use the am-dash in our LaTeX-typeset documents?

This isnโt the first time Iโve moved to a new server, and at first blush it does still feel like a missed opportunity to not be able to move your posts over to the new instance.
I then remember that โbeyond potential technical issuesโ every server is a community with its own policies about content and as such, me showing up with years of content that may not be in line with those policies is a moderation burden that no one is asking for.
@angeloAngelo Stavrow There's a new standard for doing this; the first experimental implementations are being rolled out now. I hope in the next year or two we see servers like Mastodon implement it.
The political empire of Trump has always been built on vibes, not facts. He was never a successful businessman โ he sucked at it, actually โ but he โขplayedโข one on TV. People voted for the character on The Apprentice, the character in the QAnon posts, the collectively imagined Second Coming cult leader with ripped muscles, the generic racist whose granting of permission to indulge in collective cruelty offered a kind of euphoric bonding.
The facts are never what gave him power.
3/
@inthehandsPaul Cantrell Totalitarian leaders never derive their power from facts. According to Hannah Arendt, the facts are a problem to be solved with propaganda, conspiracy theories, and terror. What's true is whatever the leader says is true, and may change from day to day. Fortunately for leader, his followers profess an odd mix of gullibility and cynicism, making it possible for him to make contradictory statements and not lose his power.

Current Toronto conditions: -17 C, wind chill of -25 C. I was considering running a shopping errand but you know, it's not urgent and I'm not quite that enthused about freezing my face. I think I will stay indoors another day, where it's nice and warm.
(Environment Canada even has a yellow cold warning. Which is not as amusing to write about as a "yellow snow warning".)

Wapusk: The Polar Bear Nursery
Wapusk National Park, whose name means 'White Bear' in Cree, protects one of the world's largest polar bear maternity denning areas. Each year, pregnant polar bears dig dens in the permafrost to give birth. The park's remote location and strict access restrictions are essential for protecting these vulnerable mothers and cubs during their first critical months. #Canada #Wapusk #PolarBears #Manitoba ๐จ๐ฆ

Mostly I'm learning that I've spent a couple of weeks trying to support `FSKit` for something that is slower and, more importantly, can make your computer completely hang and expose some ghost state in the kernel in about 22 different ways.
Does my code have 27 bugs that would likely explain this deadlock? Probably. Should you be able to fuck up the OS that much from user space? Probably not.

Phyllis Munday: Conqueror of the Rockies
Mountaineer and naturalist Phyllis Munday was a true trailblazer. In 1924, she and Annette Buck were the first women to summit Mount Robson, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies. A skilled cartographer, she also mapped over 180 square kilometres of BC's wilderness, a significant contribution to Canadian geography. #Canada #Mountaineering #WomenInHistory #CanadaIsAwesome ๐จ๐ฆ
