Often heard what looks like malice can easily be incompetence. Modern times are more what looks like incompetence can easily be corruption.

Subtle activism. Who will notice? Apparently in the UK. Found in a LinkedIn post, and unable to find it again (little trying).

So the Internet Archive lost in appeal against Hachette, Penguin, HarperCollins, and Wiley. Judgment looks fair by the current laws, but here the law seems to cause harm. https://www.wired.com/story/internet-archive-loses-hachette-books-case-appeal/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hachette_v._Internet_Archive

Recurring thought. Concerned by the growing opinion that crypto is the only thing leading to decentralisation. Please read as a whole: Crypto is a tech partial and biased solution. Partial as it relies on and needs more energy which we know is a problem (despite PoS and more renewables). Biased because it leads many to learn anything is a transaction—imagine taking care of your child or parent. Long live to crypto, situated in its real reality.

The Twitter owner: “President Trump must win to preserve the constitution. He must win to preserve democracy in America. This is a must-win situation. Get everyone you know, drag them to register to vote. If they don’t, this will be the last election. That is my prediction.” The last election. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/oct/06/donald-trump-makes-a-theatrical-return-to-butler-scene-of-assassination-attempt

Starting to think that one of the measures of “real” advancement of a culture/nation/politics must be whether it lets children be children. Odd short claim (parents know children are egocentric tyrans at first). The ramifications are what matters. Just an example: what fraction can think decentralised if childhood has been about patriarchy or (practiced) meritocracy?

The French government now has a “Department of Decentralisation”. Pretty sure it is not what you think it is.

What is the general vibe on dropping the Chevron doctrine? It seems many crypto people cheer, as well as the common and shark entrepreneurs. I mistook the doctrine for something else, so reading more about it. Dropping it looks like a regression in general. Not saying it must be kept as is, but there is a spectrum between it and not it. Most likely a need to reform and refine, yet with Chesterton fence care.

Carlos just published summaries of his latest book as generated YouTube videos. The result is interesting, and revealing of where we stand today. Uncanny valley, perhaps most notably in the unforgiving tempo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCdQBkjXo8w&list=PLoOMKjCBaDuXY_5ESOHVlzz3F3cH6ueCs

Would anyone know of datasets involving energy and microbes? Pretty broad interest. Concretely exploring how microbes help (and they freaking-ly do more than just help—they open new doors) energy production.

Three times opening this cast, three times the app crashes. Is this die to the cast awesomeness, or some Lovecraftian mystery? https://warpcast.com/gmo/0x69dad426

Disappointed in The Guardian title “Vance-Walz debate: no clear winner after candidates keep it civil”. Like regret there is no juicy dirt to report. Lost interest in reading whether they might have discussed anything, really.

Not sure which channel to ask: Any reference book on going deep I to Bayesian Optimisation? Beyond naive, into exotic, with solid detail or more.

Does anyone remember what the "main" branch is called on CVS ? Just came across a project on SVN, and working on *trunk*. I cannot explain why trying to remember how it is with CVS.
