@strypey That is helping me sort the sheep from the goats, AI wise.BTW most effort is going into agents, as that is where the profits will be (tools are much more generic, and not enough money there) the problems may get solved. But if we see nothing better by 2027 I am right. I want agents. Particularly I want an agent that can drive my car. Mēh!

@mattsheffield The bald facts in that article are mostly correctThe tone is unhelpfulThe advice is dreadfulI urge USAian lefties to learn about the practice of politics.You do not convert voters by implying they are immoral for voting for Trump, especially if trueNever ever talk about your opposition, in any but the most general terms, in politics. There is nothing to be gained, for the politics of unity, by doing thatLearn politics, that is how the right will defeated

@lightweight @wxhbxh I hosted some Mailman 3 lists a few years agoThe modern email conventions make lists hard, as the from address must match the encrypted keys (I forget the exact details)Rewriting from addresses works, but is close to illegal, very bad formSpam filters will often block messages from lists.It is a bit of a nightmare, and needs rethinking. Mailman, at three years ago, does not rethink it.

@futurebird The NZ stock market is small both in capitalisation and participants. When it was smashed in 87 the vapor became very clear. Took longer to recover because it grew further beyond the underlying values, and the participants particularly crushed

@futurebird The impact on NZ life was dramatic, but over shadowed by the utterly devastating Employment Contracts Act and benefit cuts that slashed incomes and finished the trashing of the economy the simple minded policies of Labour started Many NZ communities were gutted by the Labour policies of privatising the central heights of the economy, before 87, according to some new economic theories that have since been shown to be inadequate

@strypey I've been following this. It is a debacle, but raises some interesting points, and there are other cases around too.DHH is a nasty casually racist person. Should we be willing to use his software? Should we ban him from our forums?

@strypey There is a project ( I forget which and it does not matter) where the maintainer said stupid shit using what should have been their inside voice, got challenged, stopped, instituted ane enforced a code of conduct.Another (I remember and won't say) where the maintainer doubled down and "fuck you all"In the first case, is it a problem? In the second it is, IMO, no debate

@strypey I makeself unpopular opposing calls to violence. "Punch a Nazi" is stupid.1. Violence begets only violence. Duh!2. Nazis thrive on violence. Don't feed them.3. Nazis are better at violence. Why take the risk?Cuddle a fascist. Let them know there is an alternative. There is another community that will let them know they are OK. Give them an incentive to stop being a fascist

@strypey Bryce is carring the Rulling Class' water. Unwittingly I hopeHigh supermarket prices are a useful distraction. Some very small changes could be made by more competition, but SFAThe problem is low incomes. The Rulling Class wants you to see a supermarket duopoly as a bogeyman, and not campaign for higher incomesIn the brain dead, and deeply antisocial analysis of the New Zealand elites, higher incomes mean lower profits, so "look at the supermarkets "FTC
