Wow. A hero. I still treasure my copy of _The C Programming Language_ ( Brian Kernighan, Dennis Ritchie, Prentice Hall, 1978 ). Learning from it launched a 40 year career for me.

In this society, and in this America.... Whenever you encounter a problem that just won't go away, a problem that no other country seems to have, and it's a problem that politicians just can't solve.

Then your problem is capitalism. Follow the money, Bob.

I've found that the randomization used to keep an LLM from repeating the same answer results in my using the same prompt several times and then cherry-picking the mostly-satisfactory response. One can get one stuck in a cognitive rut to some extent. It is also true that some responses are rather surprising and provoke laughter and some additional thinking about the general topic. This has an impact that is probably similar to what is experienced with addictive gambling.

If they have not abided by their oaths to the Constitution, then they are not legitimate government powers, and states that are abiding by the Constitition have a right to ignore them.

Recently there has been a lot of discourse about ActivityPub and AT Protocol which has been quite dividing and heated.

Yesterday at the Social Web CG meeting (the group that maintains the ActivityPub and related specifications), I proposed releasing a statement that counters the narrative that one of these protocols must win, when both protocols can co-exist and have a lot to learn from each other.

The statement has been co-signed by various members of both Social Web CG, SocialCG, and the AT Protocol community.

โ€œWe do not win by tearing each other down, which only emboldens and empowers those who do not want either protocol to succeed.โ€

โ€œArguing between us only emboldens those that seek to derail and destroy efforts to build an open social web.โ€

You can read the full statement here:

This was originally in the swicg/general repository, and you can learn about that here:

I need you to understand something.

And the thing I need you to understand is that librarians like these are heroes. They've been slandered. They've been libeled. They've been threatened. And they've been put in harm's way. They've been labeled as suspects for crimes they never committed. And they've received death threats from their communities.

And they keep fighting. They keep fighting so you can read and view whatever you want without fear and without censorship.
