@freenando75 It would be great, but I don't think it will happen. Other federated message systems existed before (e.g., XMPP) and they were mostly overlooked.

@freenando75 Good. How does #disroot extend the #fediverse? To which other systems does it connect? Does it bridge with #matrix?

@freenando75 I just see a bunch of apps. There's no documentation to find how it connects #xmpp, #matrix, and #activitypub.

@maryjane @freenando75 Sorry, just see apps and how to use them. I ask the relation of #disroot, #xmpp, #matrix, and #activitypub. A solution that connects them all would be great to see.

@rootfs What would be the particular reasons that make the wide #activitypub implementation conduct to #mastodon extinction?

@rootfs In which sense happened with #xmpp? As far as I know, #xmpp was destroyed by the lack of users, which fastly migrated to alternatives (much worse, such as WhatsApp). I kept using #xmpp until the last acquitted left. New functions in #activitypub would not destroy it. They will be normally accompanied with reference #opensource implementations. It will be up to the community to maintain servers and users to keep using them. This last point will be the key.

@vbuterin I would vote for þ (þorn). It is a nice and simple symbol for "the."

@TimBoard @kkarhan What would be the equivalence of encryption and other security aspects in this analogy?

@jake_snowflake @TimBoard @kkarhan Email infrastructure allows higher encryption and safety. #matrix also offers it. This is to clarify the analogy between email and #activitypub.

@vbuterin @weka The key point is in the difference between norms and rules, and how they are bootstrapped, growing from the most basic and essential principles (which is another concept to have in mind). Problems arise when the system gets too complex. Then, it is better to jettison the system and begin the bootstrapping again. This applies to most systems, and the result is not too bad, although somewhat inefficient.

@frogzone @Theeo123 @triskelion Why not the #matrix protocol?

@screwtape I have three versions n Hy. I was trying to fully understand your code and see what is happening underneath. It is quite clear now. Thank you.I have three versions now.This is the closest to your version:```(defn fibonacci3 [n] (setv [prev curr] [0 1]) (for [_ (range 1 n)] (setv [prev curr] [curr (+ prev curr)])) curr)```

@screwtape This is using tail recursion (from the hyrule macro library):```(defn fibonacci2 [n] (loop [[n n] [prev 0] [curr 1]] (cond (or (= n 0) (= n 1)) curr True (recur (- n 1) curr (+ prev curr)))))```This a plain recursive version:```(defn fibonacci1 [n [prev 0] [curr 1]] (cond (or (= n 0) (= n 1)) curr True (fibonacci1 (- n 1) curr (+ prev curr))))```

@courtcan @pluralistic LLM is AI, but AI is not LLM. Let's prevent wasting of AI concept because the hype (and fall?) of LLMs.

@courtcan @pluralistic What I mean is that AI is an area of knowledge in CS, and little has to do with what humans call intelligent. Generally, AI is about systematic reasoning. It can be used to solve many kinds of problems that humans cannot, hence its attribution of intelligence, but it is no more than that. As you well said, LLMs are good for "predicting the next word" to form texts about something. This is intelligence, but not the general intelligence most are attributing.

@neauoire What is Orca? Do B/M support two bits? If so, what are the outputs?
