@piggo @lanodan When the apocalypse you are prepping in this thread for comes, you won't care about raisins, you'd care about accessible plain energy. If you are planning for the apocalypse with luxury & healthy foods in mind, something is badly off.

@lanodan Certainly, but it's easy to chew it dry too 😉 - unlike for instance rice.

Gulfstream G650ER, up to 18 passengers. It's a sizeable aircraft. It's just a bit smaller (in length) than a Boeing 737:

@lanodan @piggo All good, but most difficult to eat without water (potatoes, hard grain, etc.). Perhaps stock up on oats or such, chocolate and cans, cans, cans. :-)

@trinsec That's too complicated. I want a transient filter, just for one view. E.g., here:

I miss a feature at #QOTO / #mastodon to allow me to temporarily filter out certain topics (or at least hashtags) from my timeline to see what "else" happened. E.g., while I am flooded with JohnMastodon (which is fun of course) and all sorts of musk stuff, I would like to filter that out, just to easily see what else is going on in my timeline without endless scrolling.

@piggo I understand it so that they are not only blocking links to other social networks, but also to aggregators which make it easy to "mention" twitter+other social networks alongside. The paranoia goes quite deep in this step.

Well, AI/ML and generally CompSci research works quite differently to other areas. In CS the primary discussion forum are conferences. It works like this:
1. you have an idea, you float it at a specific workshop (organised on fringes of large conferences) - space is typically 15 pages of text
2. once the idea is OK, you flesh out important fragments of it out, work out experiments and publish at (gradually) large conferences (typically up to 6 pages each)
3. finalise the paper for conference proceedings - the main track record of the discourse in the field
4. only after years of doing this, you summarise the approach in a journal paper (virtually unlimited space, it's not unusual to review 100pg journal manuscripts)

In other natural sciences, mostly physics et al., the process is the other way round: you work out journal papers and conferences are then only social and networking events where you speak about the stuff ex-post.

This CS "anomaly" indeed leads to a higher turn-around, but is still slow and buggy because major conferences are only annual, or even bi-annual events (IJCAI, ECAI, AAAI, AAMAS, etc.). There were interesting experiments such as VLDB, which (if I am not mistaken) first published papers in a rolling release of proceedings and only afterwards the conference was a selection of papers.

But afaik whoever experimented with commenting system around e.g., arxiv, it turned out to be a futile exercise. People simply do not participate as much as would be necessary for it to work.
