A problem I see with monetization: most transaction systems are easily traceable and not really anonymous (Paypal) – closed source, while they rely on multinational mega cooperations (Paypal; Alipay; …). So to that end your account & character becomes easy to data-mine for that mega-co.

On the other hand: Any social network that allows for anonymity and new sign-ins will get spammed with Propaganda and AstroTurf in the long run.

this sounds like monetization / money are a curse for the fediverse

As far as I know there are two ways to hinder AI-development:

  • publish a link to a poisoned dataset, filled with fake generated data, like this one
  • block the bots using your website/service more sophisticated proof of work mechanisms like Anubis

If you can hack these data centers you can even get the compute for free. How good are these Chinese centers at cyber-security?

Large Language Models are perfect to generate propaganda and surveil social media activities globally.

I like that I can paste comma seperated values, which I can easily obtain from other excel-like tabular programs. I tested your app with

1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 1

works

Yeah I am a concerned euro watching across the Atlantic. But the ideals of your founding fathers live on in your constitution and legislative branch, which can get the system back on track, right?

Yeah but turning China into a democracy will be harder than returning the US to what it has been, a constitutional law-based society.

Examples of what I mean by modding:

  • minecraft mods: add some jar file into your mod folder
  • skyrim mods: add some .esp file into your mod folder
  • luanti: put some folder with .lua files and config into your .minetest/mods folder

Mods are basically "turing-complete" and can add different types of computation to your application, while integrating with the (GUI) system.

How to design a program that allow for modding?

With interpreted programming languages like python or lua, you can load code as strings at runtime … but is it done that way for these languages (that would be really bad for security)?

eval("print('mod loading ...')")

So roughly how I imagine modding in python to work, a demo in the python repl …

>>> items = {}
>>> newmod = """
... {"name": "holy-mod-sword", "value": 10, "do-damage": lambda x: x.firedamage(1000)}
... """
# loading the mod
>>> items["holy-mod-sword"] = eval(newmod)
>>> items
{'holy-mod-sword': {'name': 'holy-mod-sword', 'value': 10, 'do-damage': <function <lambda> at 0x7f8c710a9d00>}}

is it done that way or similar?

Crossposts might be annoying, because

  • essentially they are the "repost" feature of lemmy. And repeats might be low quality spam, because you have to look at the source, how often it was reposted already, etc.
  • crossposts might seem like a cry for unwarranted attention, but they might be necessary in a fractured federated system like Lemmy …

Or do you not care when realizing "this is a crosspost"?

3 "high IQ meme guys" inhabit widely different body-heights on a normal distribution, which uses the Body height as the sample space.

Body Height is normally distributed. https://www.johndcook.com/blog/mixture_distribution/ https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:K%C3%B6rpergr%C3%B6%C3%9Fe.png

The joke: IQ and Body-Height are unrelated, but both IQ and body height follow the normal distribution: IQ by definition and body height does so by empirically measuring it (since random variables that control body height are summed up to arrive at the outcome).

The Italian maker wanted to export to Libya. But it never happened, and it stands around in storage 🚧.

 

… yes they used cow gut/intestines 🐄🐄. 7 layers of cow gut where sewn onto a carrier layer of fabric to create an airtight balloon that could hold hydrogen lifting gas for some days 🎈. 50.000 cows where slaughtered for one gas-cell

Advantages over rubber of cow gut:

  • rubber-cotton balloons got brittle with repeated uses with hydrogen filling. Cow gut is a flexible material that lasted longer, though expensive.
  • rubber balloons can get statically charged. A small spark can flame all the hydrogen at once. Cattle gut does not charge as quickly as rubber.
