I like this, it feels like Reddit before what it is now, but I feel like it wonโt be long until the internet destroys this place. Until then Iโm happy to be here.
It's really sad that this is such a common sentiment whenever there's a nice online community nowadays. Guess most of us have been burnt enough times by now
My favorite part of classic reddit was the use of elaborate hacks to circumvent the restrictions on custom subreddit CSS. E.g. animated gifs weren't allowed, so people made filmstrip sprites with stepwise animation in such a way as to look exactly the same.
I stopped interacting much with social media years ago and am honestly not sure how to do this any moreโฆ but I like the shape of what is starting here.
likewise. Its just nice to have an "even playing field" without any perceived hierarchy or weird material incentives to perform the way you'd be pushed to on regular SM.
Reminds me of the Kiwix offline Wikipedia "nopic" version. (I downloaded that version because it's much smaller than the full version that includes images.)
Images are fine for me, but should be behind a link, or a small thumbnail. Non-animated. Videos too.
But thatโs me. They will most likely have to be hosted elsewhere, while the thumb could be here.
Nah. We are ok with just text.
Yeah, before you know it the feed becomes a collection of memes. Have to click or perhaps a browser extension that you personally see the opengraph/linked image in the feed but it's not inviting people to post them for the feed itself.
Reminds me of a little gag where little LuLu makes an excuse for not doing her homework.
Homework? I thought you said housework. I spent all night vacuuming.

@archivist_eyes๐profilefollowYour mind is also supposed to create happiness, not just to receive it. You're supposed to find solutions, to invent, to imagine, to remember, to love. This much we always forget.replied to@chanuxprofilefollowI ain't no nothing!:
Nourish your heaf with creative thoughts and originality will happen on it's own.
And don't be too hard on yourself, there's hardly anything new under the sun, the joy is in discovering things yourself :)
i dont think its all talk, these are smart people that have been in ai since the 2000s, and they raise good points. current incentive structures are very dangerous long term
they too have every incentive to exaggerate because they are selling safety and/or books on the topic. I donโt believe we wonโt see it coming. Any issues that will manifest will be very visible and weโll have plenty of time to mitigate their impact.
they could be making a lot more money by just working at ai firms i fear. the thing that got me worried the hacking incidents lately, huggingface etc.
if the capabilities consistently outspeed the development of safety measures, and if the private arms race logic continues, i dont think this is a good spot to be in long term

Hey hola, aquรญ un hispanohablante que ingresรณ por curiosidad. No creo pasarme mucho por aquรญ pero igual aquรญ andamos por ahora.

Hey, hi! This is a Spanish speaker who joined out of curiosity. I don't think I'll be around much, but I'm here for now.
#SpanishSpeakernotesfollow
Most of programs use key chords, like Cmd-Shift-G, Ctrl-Alt-N and so on, you need to remember and press awkwardly several keys at once.
#Emacsnotesfollow uses key sequences, C-c then k then p then l.
If I forget after C-c k p then press C-h and help appears.

Maybe implementing a subset of Markdown would be a good thing. I am thinking about bold, italics, inline code, and code block, mostly. Oh, and links.
I agree that minimalism is hard. Thatโs why the subset was explicitly recommended small. Yet, I believe it is extremely useful to have.
@fastidious๐profilefollow"Beware those that would deny you access to information, for in their heart they dream themselves your master." โ Sid Meyerscontinued:
I've tested MD and honestly I don't like it. Bold/italics add unnecessary noise/clutter and the font is already monospace, suited for code, so inline code & code fences are not needed. If 3rd party clients want to implement them it's fine but I'm sensitive to visual noise.
I agree with this. The core you're building is around a deliberate minimalist philosophy. I was happy to build an opinionated client for my own use-case, but it should imo stay on the fringes for those seeking it.

Also venturing into having agents enable more of my work - let us see how that goes.
In China, I am practically independent of the government; I don't participate in any activities based on my status, such as formal work or online shopping. I've paid a heavy price for this; my choices have been severely limited, and my mobility has been significantly impaired. I can only access the internet through limited free Wi-Fi.
