Anyone know of any job openings for someone like me?

Not a tech girlie, but have a masters in public policy and social research, two decades of experience in the nonprofit world with community and youth development, and I speak Japanese and Moroccan Arabic in addition to English. I am open to almost anything, at this point.

Our newest print: 'Starlight at Roseisle', watercolour, 29x38 cm. The Milky Way shines its cool light above the Moray Firth as we look down a sandy draw to the beach. The original painting is sold but prints in 3 sizes are available at https://www.robwighamwatercolours.com/nairn-to-findhorn.html gallery. I really, really enjoyed painting this one which makes a great partner to our other print 'The Highlands by Starlight!'

As Markdown has become the standard for LLM outputs, we are now forced to witness a common and unsightly mess where Markdown emphasis markers (**) remain unrendered and exposed, as seen in the image. This is a chronic issue with the CommonMark specification---one that I once reported about ten years ago---but it has been left neglected without any solution to this day.

The technical details of the problem are as follows: In an effort to limit parsing complexity during the standardization process, CommonMark introduced the concept of "delimiter runs." These runs are assigned properties of being "left-flanking" or "right-flanking" (or both, or neither) depending on their position. According to these rules, a bolded segment must start with a left-flanking delimiter run and end with a right-flanking one. The crucial point is that whether a run is left- or right-flanking is determined solely by the immediate surrounding characters, without any consideration of the broader context. For instance, a left-flanking delimiter must be in the form of **<ordinary character>, <whitespace>**<punctuation>, or <punctuation>**<punctuation>. (Here, "ordinary character" refers to any character that is not whitespace or punctuation.) The first case is presumably intended to allow markers embedded within a word, like **마크다운**은, while the latter cases are meant to provide limited support for markers placed before punctuation, such as in 이 **"마크다운"** 형식은. The rules for right-flanking are identical, just in the opposite direction.

However, when you try to parse a string like **마크다운(Markdown)**은 using these rules, it fails because the closing ** is preceded by punctuation (a parenthesis) and it must be followed by whitespace or another punctuation mark to be considered right-flanking. Since it is followed by an ordinary letter (은), it is not recognized as right-flanking and thus fails to close the emphasis.

As explained in the CommonMark spec, the original intent of this rule was to support nested emphasis, like **this **way** of nesting**. Since users typically don't insert spaces inside emphasis markers (e.g., **word **), the spec attempts to resolve ambiguity by declaring that markers adjacent to whitespace can only function in a specific direction. However, in CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) environments, either spaces are completly absent or (as in Korean) punctuations are commonly used within a word. Consequently, there are clear limits to inferring whether a delimiter is left or right-flanking based on these rules. Even if we were to allow <ordinary character>**<punctuation> to be interpreted as left-flanking to accommodate cases like **마크다운(Markdown)**은, how would we handle something like このような**[状況](...)は**?

In my view, the utility of nested emphasis is marginal at best, while the frustration it causes in CJK environments is significant. Furthermore, because LLMs generate Markdown based on how people would actually use it---rather than strictly following the design intent of CommonMark---this latent inconvenience that users have long felt is now being brought directly to the surface.

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber I once talked with someone who had set up a Signal account while trying not to use any Android or iOS devices. I believe part of what they did was use some emulation, including the Android SDK. There's a step where one has to scan a QR code. To get around that: the SDK includes a sandbox for testing camera functionality, and lets the user "walk" around a little "room" -- and you can put specific images on the "wallpaper".

Can you run Signal with basically no iOS or Android devices right now and still do the (mandatory) prove-your-phone-id steps?

It feels like very near future I, and everyone else who cares about computing autotonomy, we're all gonna have to start runnin' the Linux phones, no matter how non-ideal that user experience is right now

A friend has been saying "we need more routes to getting chips, we need more routes to manufacture PCBs, people have no idea how fragile 'being able to control your computer' is right now", and I agree with that

Something has changed about the unprompted responses from people seeing me using the MNT (Pocket) Reform in the last month. I'm not just getting a "whoa this is cool and nerdy", I'm hearing more people, unprompted, say "Oh, this seems important, because maybe we won't be able to get computers we control soon."

It's uncomfortable, in a way, that this is starting to become more of the zeitgeist, because I think it's true.

I really do think we need computers we can control and hack on and advance. Because we're in real trouble if we can't.

"In their letter, Democrats said the administration should close the tent camp, which is currently the largest ICE facility in the country. Constructed in a record two months after a $1.2 billion contract was granted to a Virginia-based company with no listed related experience, it is viewed as a model for more than two dozen ICE facilities the government plans to convert into detention centers across the country, including several in Texas."

I've been seeing some messages saying that "AI outputs not being eligible for copyright means they can't be integrated into FOSS projects because they can't be licensed!" and I don't think that's true. Instead, I will give you several *different* reasons to reject AI generated content in your FOSS projects.

In the US at least, the absence of copyright means the public domain. The public domain itself is considered FOSS compatible with every FOSS license. Except!

The public domain doesn't exist in all jurisdictions in the same way. This is one reason CC0 was made, which is a public domain waiver with a fallback license. (CC0 is not a good idea to use with software though, separate thread about why that is.)

There *is* a related risk: internationally, there isn't agreement about whether or not whether or not AI generated content is subject to copyright yet. AND, not everywhere even has a concept of "public domain". AND, the legal status of this AIgen isn't well settled ANYWHERE yet.
