The scary thing is not that so many Americans find it easier to imagine the apocalypse than the end of cars. The scary thing is that so many actually prefer the former to the latter, and by not choosing the latter so choose to manifest the former.

Today’s global civilisation, however, is deeply interconnected and unequal and could lead to the worst societal collapse yet, he says. The threat is from leaders who are “walking versions of the dark triad” – narcissism, psychopathy and Machiavellianism – in a world menaced by the climate crisis, nuclear weapons, artificial intelligence and killer robots.
...
If citizens’ juries and wealth caps seem wildly optimistic, Kemp says we have been long brainwashed by rulers justifying their dominance, from the self-declared god-pharaohs of Egypt and priests claiming to control the weather to autocrats claiming to defend people from foreign threats and tech titans selling us their techno-utopias. “It’s always been easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of Goliaths. That’s because these are stories that have been hammered into us over the space of 5,000 years,” he says.

Fedi meta-musings.
Just went to look at a Mastodon account I interacted with a little while back. Their follow requests require approval (which is fair enough) and the bio states
Got a blank or nonsensical avatar, no visible activity, no pointers to your identity? I'll ignore your follow request.
Well I guess that's me out. I have a good reason for wanting to be pseudonymous, as do many others here I imagine.
Of course it's every user's right to set whatever conditions they want on who follows them, but a blanket refusal on anyone not featuring a "real name" and a human-appearing avatar feels quite over-sensitive to me.

In a 2021 interview, Henry Threadgill noted his belief that “[Marshall Allen] should have the highest award that can be bestowed on any artist for performing one-nighters at age 97. They should make up an award for such a person… he’s going unrecognized. It is a travesty. Can you imagine doing one-nighters at 97 years

It’s like they made a very faithful Silver Age comic movie (imagine 1960s Kirby art with 2000s inks) which is both intriguing and… ultimately a bit underwhelming plot wise.

Talking Transactions: Decentralized Communication through Ethereum Input Data Messages (IDMs)
Can you imagine, blockchain transactions can talk! In this paper, we study how they talk and what they talk about. We focus on the input data field of Ethereum transactions, which is designed to allow external callers to interact with smart contracts. In practice, this field also enables users to embed natural language messages into transactions. Users can leverage these Input Data Messages (IDMs) for peer-to-peer communication. This means that, beyond Ethereum's well-known role as a financial …

Subtooting since people in the original thread wanted it to be over, but selfishly tagging @… and @… whose opinions I value...
I think that saying "we are not a supply chain" is exactly what open-source maintainers should be doing right now in response to "open source supply chain security" threads.
I can't claim to be an expert and don't maintain any important FOSS stuff, but I do release almost all of my code under open licenses, and I do use many open source libraries, and I have felt the pain of needing to replace an unmaintained library.
There's a certain small-to-mid-scale class of program, including many open-source libraries, which can be built/maintained by a single person, and which to my mind best operate on a "snake growth" model: incremental changes/fixes, punctuated by periodic "skin-shedding" phases where make rewrites or version updates happen. These projects aren't immortal either: as the whole tech landscape around them changes, they become unnecessary and/or people lose interest, so they go unmaintained and eventually break. Each time one of their dependencies breaks (or has a skin-shedding moment) there's a higher probability that they break or shed too, as maintenance needs shoot up at these junctures. Unless you're a company trying to make money from a single long-lived app, it's actually okay that software churns like this, and if you're a company trying to make money, your priorities absolutely should not factor into any decisions people making FOSS software make: we're trying (and to a huge extent succeeding) to make a better world (and/or just have fun with our own hobbies share that fun with others) that leaves behind the corrosive & planet-destroying plague which is capitalism, and you're trying to personally enrich yourself by embracing that plague. The fact that capitalism is *evil* is not an incidental thing in this discussion.
To make an imperfect analogy, imagine that the peasants of some domain have set up a really-free-market, where they provide each other with free stuff to help each other survive, sometimes doing some barter perhaps but mostly just everyone bringing their surplus. Now imagine the lord of the domain, who is the source of these peasants' immiseration, goes to this market secretly & takes some berries, which he uses as one ingredient in delicious tarts that he then sells for profit. But then the berry-bringer stops showing up to the free market, or starts bringing a different kind of fruit, or even ends up bringing rotten berries by accident. And the lord complains "I have a supply chain problem!" Like, fuck off dude! Your problem is that you *didn't* want to build a supply chain and instead thought you would build your profit-focused business in other people's free stuff. If you were paying the berry-picker, you'd have a supply chain problem, but you weren't, so you really have an "I want more free stuff" problem when you can't be arsed to give away your own stuff for free.
There can be all sorts of problems in the really-free-market, like maybe not enough people bring socks, so the peasants who can't afford socks are going barefoot, and having foot problems, and the peasants put their heads together and see if they can convince someone to start bringing socks, and maybe they can't and things are a bit sad, but the really-free-market was never supposed to solve everyone's problems 100% when they're all still being squeezed dry by their taxes: until they are able to get free of the lord & start building a lovely anarchist society, the really-free-market is a best-effort kind of deal that aims to make things better, and sometimes will fall short. When it becomes the main way goods in society are distributed, and when the people who contribute aren't constantly drained by the feudal yoke, at that point the availability of particular goods is a real problem that needs to be solved, but at that point, it's also much easier to solve. And at *no* point does someone coming into the market to take stuff only to turn around and sell it deserve anything from the market or those contributing to it. They are not a supply chain. They're trying to help each other out, but even then they're doing so freely and without obligation. They might discuss amongst themselves how to better coordinate their mutual aid, but they're not going to end up forcing anyone to bring anything or even expecting that a certain person contribute a certain amount, since the whole point is that the thing is voluntary & free, and they've all got changing life circumstances that affect their contributions. Celebrate whatever shows up at the market, express your desire for things that would be useful, but don't impose a burden on anyone else to bring a specific thing, because otherwise it's fair for them to oppose such a burden on you, and now you two are doing your own barter thing that's outside the parameters of the really-free-market.

There's a lot of pressurefor businesses to get ahead with AI.

I suppose the fact that DOGE’s people are clowns and its methods are bullshit means that DOGE’s failure does not prove wrong this theory of “a few great engineers could magically fix government.”

Robot Excavation and Manipulation of Geometrically Cohesive Granular Media
Construction throughout history typically assumes that its blueprints and building blocks are pre-determined. However, recent work suggests that alternative approaches can enable new paradigms for structure formation. Aleatory architectures, or those which rely on the properties of their granular building blocks rather than pre-planned design or computation, have thus far relied on human intervention for their creation. We imagine that robotic swarms could be valuable to create such aleatory st…

Calamus 44 Here my last words
In which the poet outs himself through talking about his poetry.
It's a short piece of Whitman talking about his own writing. But he's so twisted up!
Here I shade down and hide my thoughts—I do not expose them,
And yet they expose me more than all my other poems.
I read this as him talking about Calamus, the cluster of gay poems. And directly telling us that he's censored and hidden what he really wants to say. And yet still these poems still expose his true self. It makes me feel sad for Whitman, imagine his writing if he felt less fettered.
Still, he published some of the most clear gay poems of the 19th century. And got famous and mainstream doing it.

Labour government running that line between "there's not enough available resources to support immigrants" and "it's critical for the country to have babies that won't be economically productive for many years".

In 300BC, Zeno proved that it's impossible to code an app using #LLM tools.
Imagine a vibe coder who generates an app. The LLM can only provide working code for half of the features requested.
So he has to ask the #AI to generate the other half. Once again, the AI can only fulfill half of the…

@… Hahahaha, that’s awesome.
I imagine there are plenty of people around (including my partner) who work in multiple fluent languages, and their “native” one doesn’t get special treatment any more.

On using AI for EEG-based BCI applications: problems, current challenges and future trends
Imagine unlocking the power of the mind to communicate, create, and even interact with the world around us. Recent breakthroughs in Artificial Intelligence (AI), especially in how machines "see" and "understand" language, are now fueling exciting progress in decoding brain signals from scalp electroencephalography (EEG). Prima facie, this opens the door to revolutionary brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) designed for real life, moving beyond traditional uses to envision Brain-to-Speech, Brain-to-…

Imagine how different the Disney parks Star Wars lands would have been if Andor had come out before they built those.

So what I learned from the recent Google outage, is how much of a cirklejerk "big tech" actually is.
Google did a fucky wucky... Which caused Cloudflare to go belly up, Shopify to go belly up, Spotify to go belly up...
Imagine having given *one* company having so much power that, if they make a mistake somewhere, half the internet is gone.
So if you self-host, make sure to see how your dependency chain is.
How much places can make a mistake that can knock you …

Oh, and look at these hilarious shots of girls clapping every time the top 3 drivers came into the cool down room. Completely forgot that was a thing in #f1 hahaha so funny. Imagine any sport doing that now? Meltdowns left and right.

Entitled Child Expects To Eat Lunch Every Day
ALTOONA, PA—Saying the pampered 6-year-old seemed to think someone should provide her with a midday meal on a regular basis, sources told reporters Thursday that local entitled child Harper Wiley expected to eat lunch each day of her young life. “Can you imagine? Not just on the odd occasion, but every single day!” said a source […]

Gosh, I just can't imagine why people dislike people like MrBeast.

I can't imagine why you'd need one at all when the Pixel line exists

Another passenger plane is lost in Russia.
This is the third since the war began. The other two were the Malaysia Airlines plane shot down over Ukraine and the Azerbaijan Airlines plane shot full of shrapnel over Grozny.
Can’t imagine why today’s plane would have been shot at considering it was in the Far East… but we’ll see.
Not sure why anyone would take the risk to fly to a Russian airport these days.

Imagine if we collectively spent just 10% of the resources that go into the AI bullshit hype machine on solving, you know, the myriad of existential problems humanity faces.

People talk about how politics shouldn't be like sports. I think it depends a lot on what sports though.
Like, imagine if politicians had to wear the logos of every company they worked stock in and every company that donated to their campaigns like they're driving NASCAR. Of all sports, almost no one wants anything to be more like NASCAR... And yet, when you think about it, there actually *are* some hints we could take from it.

I have not played Remtach. This review is really interesting describing this as a team fighting game with soccer as more of a theme. And for the moment to moment game play that sounds great.
But it is funny that in another way that's just soccer. TBH this game is way more soccer then FIFA is where you control a whole team.
Personally I don't love these multiplayer games. I could like this with a single player mode and imagine doing a whole career!

As @pluralistic writes here, “the American right is a brittle coalition:”
https://pluralistic.net/2024/07/14/fracture-lines/
We imagine the right as monolithic at our peril. Reply guys love, love, love to lecture me about how These People are all the same. Here’s the thing: they are not, and imagining they are is self-defeating. The right has been •incredibly• effective at finding fracture points on the left and jamming a crowbar into them. It’s time we did the same.

Imagine spending years as an intelligence officer, working diligently to subvert the Kremlin,
only to watch the US stand with Russia, Iran and North Korea,
as it did in February when it voted against a UN resolution condemning the invasion of Ukraine.
In that moment, Tim Weiner said: “You come to the realization, if you hadn’t already:
‘My God, the president of the United States has gone over to the other side. He has joined the authoritarian axis.’”

Asset control and power in America is centered among old people with lots of assets.
And they associate protecting the stock market with protecting America.
The “number go up” rule is not a story of greed or economics,
it’s a story of how we make decisions as a society.
Take the pandemic.
Some of you might remember that right before Covid hit in force, I was freaking out. I pay attention to China, and it wasn’t hard to imagine that a contagious disease would…

The Number Go Up Rule: Why America Refuses to Fix Anything
In the Booming Twenties, all decision-making is about protecting the value of financial assets held by older people. Therefore, the number must go up. And nothing else matters.
