Building and learning stuff, because I'm curious. I enjoy thinking from first principles.

Currently working on:

- real-time chatting, and trying to throw graph theory into the problem
- Logseq alternative, that uses the original Roam Research paradigm, before version 2.0.

Also, I'm a Honda owner

Can someone explain to me why was Pixelfed, Loops, and Dansup being singled out for AI use? There's no shortage of Fediverse software that are either built with AI assistance (including vibe coding), or welcomes AI contribution, but I'm not seeing the same level of outrage. Did Pixelfed, Loops, and Dansup specifically promise to be AI-free? #Fediverse #ActivityPub

Anyone working on a Fediverse server where all new code isn't written by AI? Do you have some Patreon, GitHub Sponsorship setup, Ko-Fi, Liberapay, or anything to accept donations? Happy to fork over $50 every month for the next year. #Fediverse #ActivityPub

The Parliament of Estonia is orders of magnitude smarter than whoever is in the Parliament of Canada (including Mark Carney).

POLITICO

Europe should regulate Big Tech instead of banning kids from social media, Estonia says

Banning kids from social media won’t work, as they “will find very quickly the ways to go around and to still use social media,” Estonian Education Minister Kristina Kallas said.

A year ago, regarding the type of stuff that I often saw employers look for regarding AI, it's usually:

  • LLM API experience
  • prompt engineering experience
  • workflows
  • vector databases and RAG
  • MCP

Now it's agentic harnesses. It's all the rage.

It's all MCPs and agentic loops.

@NicelyManifest Yeah, I proposed that before we ban social media by age, instead, let's have a blanket ban on auto-scrolling videos. This would probably capture the "harm" that we want the under 16s to be shielded from, but older individuals are not immune from it, so they'd also benefit from the ban.

@guenther @jonathankoren I read up on Estonia's Digital ID Infrastructure. If I were to compare it to British Columbia's (the province that I reside in) BCID system, I'm definitely leaning towards Estonia's model. Both BCID and Estonia collect the same mounts of PII, but Estonia provides more transparency and control, where as BCID is a lot more opaque. I'm not entirely against age-based bans, and I'd imagine Estonia would be a lot more competent for rolling out age restrictions. I just don't have confidence that Canada can pull it off. And even if we had a competent infrastructure, why 16? When it comes to social media, how "harmful" it is, age doesn't have any bearing. 16 is arbitrary, and if anything, it's just a tool to minimize liability. It's same mindset of pro-lifers: caring about a human while in the womb (or at least expecting others to care), but throwing all due care out the window once the human is born.

@NicelyManifest most of us are concerned about the downstream privacy impact being much worse than what "harm" that social media has on young people. Not to mention, even then, another pushback to callout is that people much older are also not better off, so how do we address those?

Big five: "I get a bar graph, and I don't remember what those numbers were."

Myers-Briggs (type indicator): "I get ENFJ" or "I get INTP".

Don't know about you, but it seems like Myers-Briggs, when administered, empowers people to share insights about who they are better than the big five.

I mean, don't get me wrong, if you roughly remember your big five score, I'd prefer that, but the Myers-Briggs at least is correlated with the big five, and that's good enough 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, when I saw this video, I immediately knew, ThePrimeagen is full of shit.

Especially the 23:34 point mark, where he criticizes Liskov's Substitution Principle (LSP).

ThePrimeagen conflates LSP with inheritance.

LSP barely gives a shit about inheritance. It cares about subtyping.

If anything, if you followed LSP to the letter, you'd be *less* inclined to go for inheritance; not more.

Every time I post on social media in advocacy for something, not only is it just me pretty much screaming into the void (or worse, a brick wall), but if it were to be heard, it's probably just added into a sea of noise that's also shared with:

- anti-vaccine propaganda
- remigration rhetorics
- conspiracy theories

I'm all for tourism, but do not ever fucking close down a skate park, under any circumstances. Do not tolerate any politicians that close skate parks even for a second, beyond just necessary repairs.

Like the saying goes, "every accusation is a confession", but people who say "oil companies don't want you to know" or "oil companies are hiding it from us" or "oil companies don't want EVs" seriously suck at operating a business.
