@BartoszMilewski Doesn't look right...

To be a evolutionary advantage it needs to be 1) represented in the genes and 2) have a gradual* build-up from the state of totally lacking it to the state of "promotes counterfactual reasoning"

* with the slope depending of difficulty encoding such a thing vs marginal inclusive fitness

@rticks@mastodon.social the problem I see with governance here is that you need to have the consent of the governed. Why should an engineer building their stuff listen to some "cyber ethicist" (is that a thing now?..) coming out of nowhere?

@rticks@mastodon.social um... I really mean the materials, like texts and drawings were coming from the team itself and. It is patently impossible right now, but that's the entire point of this charade - to find/make a machine that really learns. So, a team of arti-gogues made such a machine. It reads its ABCs, learns to learn, then watches some YouTube drawing tutorials with subtitles and starts painting its own stuff. Is it still theft?

@rticks@mastodon.social huh? How that would still be theft, given that they are the authors of the training materials?..

@rticks@mastodon.social would you be fine with them if they trained only on legitimately produced curriculum? So yeah, people who want to be artists can pretend to be artists (or, rather, just *be* curators in this specific niche of "generative this and that") - would it be a fair play?

@rticks@mastodon.social I find it hard to imagine how this would work. Can you ground this in some example for "AI" tech discussed in the article above?

@takosix @baldur Imagine the electricity bill of assholes using it to simply heat some air only to get it blown away outside by a draft. Or those who have audacity to have it cooled...

@rticks@mastodon.social Who do you allow do decide then?

@someodd the mess with the drivers is a single thing that gets me off nix and esp. nixos )=

@omgubuntu Noble Neanderthal

@willgfx And not a single picture in README...

@reidrac@social.sdf.org time shouldn't grow that large. The compiler should do this anyway by default, but there were problems with linkers etc.

My problem is usually forgetting to put the options back, or compiling projects that didn't use them. This results in object code duplication.

@riley @cwebber@octodon.social "Do the far-right thing"

@reidrac@social.sdf.org cabal.project.local:

```
package *
split-sections: true
```

stack.yaml:

```
ghc-options:
"$everything": -split-sections
```

@reidrac@social.sdf.org I use my "done" projects as testbeds and always updating them to match latest engine version.
But finished games may stick to their LTSs until the end of times.

@reidrac@social.sdf.org I've updated my stuff to 9.4 (the LTS), but we run 9.6 at work and it is visibly better. Faster at compiling, nicer profiling tools, etc.
If your dependencies are 9.6-reafy, then go for it.
No reason to stick with older GHCs unless there's some huge blocker (like the 9.0 had).

@rml (I'm leaving out Christine out of this, perhaps we should even go private not to draw the ire of instance admins and users abroad). (Also, none of this is to justify anything. I want to "compare notes", so to speak, with a live person instead of propaganda outlet. If you're up to it of course.)

The problem with the Bund (and other autonomist movements (with which I somewhat agree, from the cursory glance)) is that the Bund *was*. And... yeah... around the 40s something has happened that made their position unfashionable.

I don't get the colonialism angle either. It looks like "Trail of tears" in reverse in the counterfactual event of US dissolution.

@rml Still not getting that. BLM didn't have a history of firing artillery from the school backyards into civilian areas. If anything, the IRA would be closer, although I know even less about them.

Besides, what's even the point of such an analogy? I don't know any good it would make. But it certainly will make people angry about misrepresentation, association and more people will be misled into some flawed but familiar facsimile of an understanding.

@rml @cwebber@octodon.social I don't think metaphors and analogies are appropriate here. No, the situation doesn't boil down to "imagine BLM beating up MAGAs" or anything like that.
