Worth repeating: AI platforms built by greedy tech CEOs aren't "making mistakes" they are working as designed

Part of that design is undermining experts, removing human connection & trust, and hiding decision making

Those are the things that make our communities work, and the more we lose them, the worse things get

@ireneistaIrenes (many) @rysiekMichał "rysiek" Woźniak · 🇺🇦 @samirsamir, 60% aloo, 40% rage

Yes, that is a nice way of phrasing it, which aligns with Social experience design (SX) and Hedonic peer production.

The underlying philosophy is based on the acknowledgement of the importance of self-interest in collaborative arrangements. The the notion that it is okay to pursue self-interested motives when participating with others, because this leads to the highest *intrinsic* motivation to participate.

Participation is literally a value investment then, in hopes of getting even more value in return.

Another important aspect is stating to others what ones self-interests are, so that reciprocal participation becomes easier, and also - most crucially, I suppose - there's clarity on commitments and mutual expectations.

I think lack of 'expectation management' is a big flaw that keeps FOSS from becoming more sustainable, for instance. FOSS is just software + software freedoms. SX places SOSS as its sustainable delivery pipeline:

@julian @evanEvan Prodromou

Voted "No, but.." against backdrop of API task force, where issue tracker has an issue on rate limits.

From perspective of "avoiding misconceptions" I was wondering about a range of issues that have been created, and how they relate to Protocol versus Solution design. See also: github.com/swicg/activitypub-a

I think it may be valuable to define different stakeholder roles, to track people's needs. For thus far I discern in order of importance:

1. Solution developer
2. Protosocial implementer
3. Protocol designer

When asking the question "Should rate limits be part of the protocol?", starting point for design is a firm No.

Solution devs should not be worried about them. Need for rate limits depends on requirements of individual Protosocial impls, and what their goals are.

Protocol-level there's actor introspection. There are no "instances" but Application actors that host Services, including system services, that may expose Rate Limit as metadata.

@smallcircles🫧 socialcoding.. @julian I disagree!

Rate limits are a common part of APIs. For apps to work across servers, the servers need to provide about the same interface.

Using standard rate-limiting headers lets client apps detect what rate limits they will be held to. It reduces the uncertainty.

Fortunately, there is a well known de facto standard and an even better IETF standard coming up. We should point them out.

婚內出軌的朋友被我拷問為何不好好處理，他反而回頭要問我感情觀（難道一定要有結果嗎？外遇過程，即使不會有什麼結局，沉浸於感情，不也是滿足需求？）

這提問我剛好有點心得，趁著還有記憶趕快紀錄下來談話。

某種層面，我還是覺得情感是自我的延伸，能夠圓滿的話，才有機會讓自我完整實現，內在才會豐沛。然而要想要圓滿則又非常不容易，關係被冷落了，關係只剩下一方在經營，關係的天秤嚴重失衡，關係受到了背叛而破碎，都沒辦法讓自我完整。

出軌，或是成為一個外遇對象，或是成為被背叛的角色，整個過程一次促成了三個人無法自我實現。

忠誠者因為關係抽離而自我懷疑，出軌的因為欺瞞和背叛而讓情感虛幻的無法落地，第三者則因為始終無法獲得完整的情感，則更是不可能擁有任何自我實現可能。

我很不情願的表達給朋友，其實這種關係裡最有權力的是他，如果真的想要「趁還有時間，趕快做想做的事情」，檢視自己重要的關係，花心思去經營，停止欺瞞，進而完成自我的一部分才是對自己負責。而不是沉浸在「不想傷害任何人，所以乾脆讓自己受傷」這種謊言。

冷落對關係有害，因背叛而冷落更是傷害人，耽溺於這種關係就是無法對自己人生負責的體現（兇）

So spät war ich glaub ich noch nie, aber es war halt heute auch genau so ein Tag.

Deswegen gibt's jetzt Kartoffeleintopf mit Blumenkohl, Karotten, Spitzpaprika, Filetspitzen, Lauch & Kapuzinererbsen.

Wohlfühlessen halt.

Jetzt sind alle satt und einigermaßen glücklich, morgen wird ein besserer Tag.

If you are enabling an AI feature scanning all your emails, consider this will also scan the emails people have sent you. This information could include personal or otherwise legally protected information.

If this data leaks later (as it regularly happens with these systems), this could mean severe legal consequences for you down the road.

YOU are responsible for protecting the data of others under your custody.

This includes the messages and emails others send to you.

아무말에 가까운 생각인데, 무선 공유기의 RF 출력 가이드라인을 나라에서 정해놨으면 좋겠어. 너도나도 다 100%로 설정해 놓으니까, 에너지 낭비가 심한 것 같아. 고시원이나 모텔 같은 데는 줄여도 되잖아.

Random stuff off the curb haul: coconut coir (usable for seed starting), brand new. And some kind of almoat brand new fancy cold brew coffee thing, figured I would try it out and/or put it with the car camping/disaster stuff in case the opportunity arises for real coffee.

I spent most of my side project time on figuring out that I do not want to use MCPs but just some tools on the main agent. Investigation pending.

Also voice cloning with fine-tuning qwen3-asr is not good enough to justify the work or getting a VA :/

Less sophisticated, yet better - Timo Zimmermann

Working on LazerBunny this week was mostly focused on MCP usage and deprecating it, reducing the number of agents and experimenting a bit more with voice cloning.

A Review of Dice that came with The White Castle | The White Castle

I am a big advocate of proper randomization during game play and, more often than not, the dice included with a game do not provide that. Cheaply manufactured dice are often misshapen such that they don't give equal access to all faces and thus will roll with bias like
