Clock ticks (†Horoixodidae; A. A. Koch, 2144) are a now-extinct family of family of parasitic arachnids of the order Ixodida. Adult ticks are approximately 1 to 8 nanoseconds long, although their larvae may reach as much as 1 microseconds in duration. Since the widespread adoption of asynchronous logic in the Third Industrial Revolution, habitat destruction and loss of reproductive capability have caused the loss of this once-widespread group of animals.

Honestly I don't think "gaining adoption" is that important in a truly diverse ecosystem.
The reason concepts like adoption become useful is when it drives compatibility. We do want different servers to be able to participate in the larger society. But I think compatibility emerges because people *want* to participate. You have to add the value first. Then people will do the work to be compatible so they can get to the value.
@0x5DA @mozilla It can be useful for a person using a screen reader to have access to an AI description, but crucial there is that said user needs to know that that's the source of said description. There are repeated patterns of those who feel pressured to include descriptions but don't actually care about accessibility doing the absolute minimum, manifesting here as using the direct AI output without examination or editing.
So yes, a lack of inline alt text is better than AI gen inline.
I've proposed the idea to the Signal community that if tools like Recall go out of their way to recognize and ignore DRM'ed content, then messenger programs that want to avoid being recorded should have a small always-on DRM'ed image on display at all times as a defensive measure.
If the tools are there, we might as well put them to good use.
@mkarliner reminds me of the money quote from a podcast I listened to recently:
"If you’re searching for comparative advantage in doing creative work, you want to know where status is, but mostly so you can avoid it."

There has been a remarkable breakthrough towards the Riemann hypothesis (though still very far from fully resolving this conjecture) by Guth and Maynard making the first substantial improvement to a classical 1940 bound of Ingham regarding the zeroes of the Riemann zeta function (and more generally, controlling the large values of various Dirichlet series): https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.20552
Let 𝑁(σ,𝑇) denote the number of zeroes of the Riemann zeta function with real part at least σ and imaginary part at most 𝑇 in magnitude. The Riemann hypothesis tells us that 𝑁(σ,𝑇) vanishes for any σ>1/2. We of course can't prove this unconditionally. But as the next best thing, we can prove zero density estimates, which are non-trivial upper bounds on 𝑁(σ,𝑇). It turns out that the value σ=3/4 is a key value. In 1940, Ingham obtained the bound \(N(\sigma,T) \ll T^{3/5+o(1)}\). Over the next eighty years, the only improvement to this bound has been small refinements to the 𝑜(1) error. This has limited us from doing many things in analytic number theory: for instance, to get a good prime number theorem in almost all short intervals of the form \((x,x+x^\theta)\), we have long been limited to the range \(\theta>1/6\), with the main obstacle being the lack of improvement to the Ingham bound.

Recorded a podcast interview with Robby Peralta at mnemonic last week! Very much enjoyed our conversation about security for high-risk people, executives, and civil society in general. Even snuck in a brief mention of indoor skydiving, just because. https://mnemonic.buzzsprout.com/652378/15179615
I ask this relatively regularly because I want to keep an eye on the landscape.
I'm a software engineer with a PhD in international criminal law. I am on the lookout for (open source?) projects that are useful to human rights researchers/activists/defenders. I am hoping to contribute as a volunteer software engineer.
If you know of a project like this, please get in touch. If you don't, please boost if you'd like!
i never thought about whether my selves from parallel universes might be better than me. Thanks for the new complex, Apple TV
