Hum, thanks for the idea. I'm sure that would be a fun project, but I want to have detailed political and geographical data on the map.
It's complicated.
My take: that particular attempt at secession didn't succeed, but separatists are anything but sitting idle: they're constantly pressing to gain privileges, lying, distorting public opinion, and frankly breaking the law every so often.
Nobody's “oppressed” in #Catalonia.
The criminal separatist leaders are being handled exquisitely well by the government: they are raised to the level of legitimate political interlocutors, some of them were pardoned, and now a few others will see their sentences reduced by virtue of this change in the law.
It's all very disgusting, IMHO.
This is (again) mind-blowing:
Spawn a virtual #EliezerYudkowsky inside #ChatGPT who acts as a firewall filtering malicious prompts for ChatGPT itself, then test it trying to circumvent normal precautions by wrapping/disguising malicious prompts as narration, shell commands and the like (and it seems to work fine).

📢 ATTN open source maintainers! My employer, Snyk, is re running an event in February called the Big Fix. It’s a month-long virtual thing where we try to put the focus on securing OSS, promoting good security practices and generally “fixing the Internet”. You can get a feel for it from what we did last year.: https://snyk.io/events/the-big-fix/ We are looking for OSS maintainers who can join our livestream on the 28th who can share share their security journey. Ping me here if you're interested!
Novel insight:
if your national team did poorly in the #WorldCup and you're puzzled and looking for an explanation, consider that it might be that YOUR NATIONAL TEAM ISN'T AS GOOD AS YOU THINK.

ashley madison got a bunch of dudes to cheat with what they thought were women, but were actually scripts - and dudes paid.
imagine how well that would work NOW
Creo que estoy con @fernand0: estos cambios no tiene por qué ser a peor, en agregado y a la larga. Sin duda algunos gremios sufrirán; eso ha pasado toda la vida. No tiene sentido ser luditas ni usar palabras como «fascismo» que nada tienen que ver con todo esto.
Mi regla de oro es **mercado libre salvo en lo que afecte a necesidades básicas, seguridad laboral, salud pública, etc, que necesita de regulación**. En este caso, para mí que los camioneros (o los pasteleros, los notarios, o los vicepresidentes de finanzas) pierdan estabilidad laboral o pasen a ganar lo que gana un frutero, no es bueno ni malo en sí. Pondría límites en lo que afecte a seguridad vial (p.ej. no puede haber camioneros trabajando 24h seguidas), cumplimiento de los contratos, evitar monopolios y publicidad engañosa, etc.
Si Uber o cualquier empresa tiene la capacidad de bajar precios y salarios, cumpliendo con esos mínimos, no veo motivos para poner pegas.
I would love it to be real.

There are 2 ways to sign up to the United Federation of Instances, for those wondering.
We have over 200,000 members but looking for more before launch.
One, and the most important, is as an instance admin bringing your instance onto the UFoI. For this you dont need to do anything other than ensure you follow our basic code of conduct. See the proposal/by laws for that:
https://ufoi.gitlab.io/constitution/united_federation_of_instances_proposal.pdf
https://ufoi.gitlab.io/constitution/united_federation_of_instances_bylaws.pdf
Other than that you dont have to do anything to be a member, and you can be a one person instance or a large instance. You do need to promise to federate with other instances in the UFoI. Also you can leave at any time, no questions asked, so not much obligation.
The other is as an individual.. for that just let me know and ill give you access to everything and add you to the list of contributors. In this case you arent under any obligation either, you can join in on conversationsn, suggest edits, or just lurk. Up to you. Message me if you want to be a contributor and ill add you and check out the repo here:
https://gitlab.com/ufoi/constitution
Any questions first feel free to ask me.
For more information on ways to connect see this post:
Yes, it's delicate balance between quantity (of episodes listened to) and quality (of understanding)…
I wish I could understand content well at 2× or 3× the speed, as some people apparently do (!), but I miss too much above 1.5×.
(Come to think about it, it's a matter of language too: I think I absorb 2× Spanish well, actually. But English being a foreign language to me adds a bit of extra difficulty and I need more attention.)
I got so used to listening to #podcasts at 1.5× the speed, and occasionally 2× (except for [Rob Wiblin](https://80000hours.org/podcast/) and [Tyler Cowen](https://conversationswithtyler.com/)!) that when I play a segment at normal speed for whatever reason I'm amazed that people usually speak

# United Federation of Instances Proposal
https://gitlab.com/ufoi/constitution
I tagged below everyone who asked me to tag them. I have now started a gitlab group and project where we can discuss the #UFoI proposal transparently and with a good recorded history.
Please start discussions by creating issues, and any edits you have to the proposal please edit on gitlab and submit as a merge request, which can then be discussed.
I will write the CI code to make sure the document gets compiled.
I will try to leave the mass-message like here just to the major developments as it feels a bit spammy. I will only send out one more notification once the by laws draft is up. Of course if anyone does not want to get notified let me know and ill leave you off from future discussions.

I ran across the FLICC model of science denial a while ago while reading _How to Talk to a Science Denier_ by Lee McIntyre. I can say that throughout the years of engaging flat-earthers, stop-the-stealers, creationists, Covid deniers, vaccine skeptics, QAnon believers, and the like, I have faced every one of the techniques outlined.
