There’s no reason to think this works fine given the readme mentions the author is waiting on their first meshtastic device to test against and the install instructions include ‘insert download link here’.

It’s a shame this is just slop, an approach like this could be interesting, using web APIs instead of native apps… but iOS Safari doesn’t support Web Bluetooth so it’s not going to work on iPhones at all which is a big unmentioned limitation.

Probably because it’s untested AI slop.

I think of AI that is messy, but gets the job done more as "drive-through fast food"

Perhaps "Soylent Green"? It's made of people ('s stolen creative work).

I meant to say "pejorative", not "protective", sorry.

433 was more of a statement/exercise in listening. It's interesting to explore the edges of what counts as music, but in practice, people can tell when something is music made for enjoyment by other people.

Enjoyment is a strong word! Some music is written to share ideas and experiments, so it might not be 'enjoyable' to listen to, but 'interesting' - kind of like the difference between reading a Harry Potter book which is engaging and doesn't ask too much of you, and Spinoza, which requires your full attention.

To me this piece just looks like someone who hates wealth and willfully misunderstands metaphors.

I recommend to read the source:

This supports my initial reaction. The "antichrist" indicators he points to are things like authoritarianism and homogenization, not burning bushes and bints with swords.

Do we actually know that this is only targeting Americans? If I were a state actor who put this thing together, I would use it on everybody.

with one exception; someone in the US might not think about doing it in other countries

A bunch of the accounts are targeting British politics, but it would seem the Americans are more greatly affected.

I worked in EDA while the transition happened. We and our customers had been big buyers of Sun and/or HP workstations. The switch happened several years after Linux was released. When x86 performance started to look competitive, there was a lot of interest in switching to NT, and very little interest in paying for SCO Linux etc. It wasn't until RedHat came out with an enterprisey amount of support that companies started to switch en masse.

I confess, I'm not very bright and am having trouble decoding the subtleties of "Kill All Men!" as you have done. Could you explain how you got from "All" to "just the bad ones"? Would you interpret "Kill All Women" in the same manner?

Tangential question: do you advocate death for all bad people, a group which according to you includes the president?

I think GP is more in response to "view[ing] men as a kind of primordial oppressor", then the "Kill All Men" statement.

In any case - "Kill All Men" was always just a shibboleth. Treating it as an actual policy recommendation is prima facie risible. Throwing it out there to see who is oblivious enough to object is the point.

When I grew up, I was taught that if someone in your friend group makes a racist joke, you should stand up to them, and inform them that casual racism leads to normalizing racism.

Even if "Kill All Men" was just a shibboleth of a specific online culture, it seems like objecting to it would be a kind of moral duty (for the same reasons), as long we are in agreement that normalized misandry is bad. But again, in my generation I don't think there was any kind of consensus that misandry is wrong. That's why objecting to a shibboleth like this would be evidence of how "oblivious" and behind the times you are

Both are damaging and shouldn't be normalized, for similar reasons.

Do you honestly believe these people are advocating for slaughtering half the human race and damning the rest of it to extinction? Or is there some hyperbole that is going over your head?

In your comment above, you said that the less-hyperbolic version is killing all "bad" men, including the president. If one is trying to get all non-"bad" men on board with this, why would you use an alienating slogan like "Kill All Men?" It's such a big messaging fail that I can't really credit them with any thought process.

This is why I asked how you managed to extract something other than "Kill All Men" from the phrase "Kill All Men".

Media has almost always been a money sink, including now.

"The audience will always be held when a status is being modified."

Whoa. This is a very neat trick.

The whole book it's great beyond doing Impro, or writing. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Hey, they cut him off before he could tell what they did after calculating a Hamiltonian as a Go constant!

go as in golang?

Yes, the language is called Go, not Golang.

Originally designed by Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike and Ken Thompson.

Presumably, since that's one of the main things he's been working on in recent decades. The third paragraph of the linked article mentions this.

Yes, he was starting to talk about it at the end of the interview.

I have a great user experience on it.

Here's what I do:

I follow people who are consistently interesting and don't post too much.

Then I only use "Following". "For You" is an algorithmic attention vortex for the proles.
