Oh, here it is (July 2018). It's nice that this report back didn't include any names or initials so I didn't need to sanitize it:
Meeting Notes:
Table-top exercise scenario topic was state and far-right repression.
Responses:
Strong networks require redundancy, so no one person is a social connection, skills, or resource gatekeeper. These people are often targeted by the state, and if they get burned out and leave, it also weakens and jeoprodizes groups.
Ways to strengthen our networks:
Mentoring/sharing responsibility. Creating a culture of mentorship and support so new people learn skills, take on responsibilities, and are introduced to other folks. Reducing burden on a few key people too.
Chaos Monkey exercise: ask central people to step back from communications/organizing to see what happens.
Regular check-ins! & Delegates check-in with new members they sign up
Ask well connected folks to introduce people to build social redundancy.
Gaming (D&D, board games, etc) committee could support a more fun, and socially robust network.
Practical safety tool:
Burner phone. Not everyone needs one, but good to have access to.
TO DO LIST:
Make regular announcements at each meeting for people to check-in with folks they know (especially those they haven’t heard from in awhile!)
Start google doc for disaster preparedness zine
Why you should prepare (ideological argument)
What people should have (the basics)
How to prepare
Frame as questions, so people can find the answer that best suits themselves.
Such as “what are you preparing for?”
Where do you spend most of your time? (home? Office? car?)
Make it as easy as possible for folks to get the basics (list locations for supplies, etc.)

In practice, certain people in a capitalist liberal democracy tend to get increasingly rich.
Absent countermeasures, the wealthy gain control of the political apparatus,
thwarting liberal-democratic norms.
This tension between capital and politics is a long-considered topic.

Serious and honest question, and I'm not trying to diss on a different discipline: I don't have much experience reading papers in economics. And I saw that paper "AI, Human Cognition and Knowledge Collapse", on a topic that I find very interesting, written by Acemoğlu et al. Now, Acemoğlu is a Nobel prize winner and MIT professor, so I would assume that paper is among the best economics would offer on that subject.

In today's Two Minutes Hate, I'd like to talk about automatic translations on Reddit.
As a user of English as a second language I find them annoying for two reasons.
One - they always rank high in search results when I specifically need LOCAL knowledge on the topic, coming from other folks from my country, and anything else is useless to me.
Two - when the Reddit thread contains reference to a nationality, e.g. "As a Finnish", their translation switches that to "Jako Polak" ("as a Pole"). And that makes things confusing as hell if I make a grave mistake of diving into a thread I shouldn't have touched in the first place (usually due to the Reason Number One).
I used to appreciate Reddit a lot in the past, but of course it couldn't last forever.

Free speech is the power to criticize your government without fear of prosecution. It is a basic human right.
It is not about getting away with hurting your neighbor who never caused you any harm. Dignity is a human right.
That is also what "love your neighbor" is about.
It's just a sensible thing to do.
Do not tolerate hate speech.
There is no (need for a) "freedom to hate".

There's roughly two ways I've acquired skills in programming languages in the past: the "hard" way for writing code (e.g., "Learn Python the Hard Way"), and the "easy" way for learning to read a new programming language by skimming the language specs or leafing through a book on the topic (e.g., "The Supercollider Book").
I suppose there's a third way now for me: Reading up on software architecture design (e.g., stuff like "500 lines or less"), so that co-creation skills with large language models are improved?
For example, Yoav Rubin's article on "An Archaeology-Inspired Database" in 500 lines or less really made me think about Clojure in a new way.
Thoughts on this?

While working through another last rites slew, I was thinking that back in the day there were a number of developers who believed they should add a lot of packages to #Gentoo, in the name of giving users a choice. Like, they were projects whose sole purpose of existence seemed to be to find every piece of software that roughly fit a specific topic, get it to build and package it for Gentoo.
Of course, the long-term effect of that is that there's a lot of unmaintained, often broken packages. "The choice" doesn't really work. Sure, users have a lot of packages to choose from — but they have to actually figure out which of these packages are actually useful (if any).
A few years ago attempting to remove packages also faced some verbal opposition. You shouldn't remove unmaintained or outdated packages, because they still work. You shouldn't remove packages that sometimes fail to build, because some flag combinations still work. You shouldn't remove packages that don't build at all, because the user can visit Forums and find some workaround to make them build 🤦. Or they'll have an ebuild handy to start working on it. And anyway, you shouldn't be removing stuff at all, but fixing it instead.
Sometimes the arguments were straight dishonest too: people literally said we need more packages to lure new users in. Like, it didn't matter to them that the packages didn't really work and that the people trying to use them will get a nasty surprise. They wanted people to say "hey, Gentoo has this software we need, let's start using Gentoo".

Spotify automatically found some copyrighted music in this episode and took it down. I think I have fair use on my side because only a portion of the song was used and it was the topic of the discussion. I need to figure out what to do here because talking about music is the whole basis of this podcast.

dependency cooldowns are all cool and nice until dependabot comes in hot and trying to update reverts some oMg cRiTiCaL rEdOs
Adjacent problem: maybe I want a cooldown for external packages but none for mine? Although the whole topic is moot since devpi doesn't provide upload dates anyways.
our tools still have a LONG way to go, unfortunately. there is no “JUST do this best practice”.

The #Kreutz comet MAPS is now also in the field of view of the coronagraph CCOR-1: help yourself to the latest images at https://ccor.nrl.navy.mil/ccor_realtime/last_image_MinBckgnd.png (15 minute cadence). What SOHO's LASCO C3 and PUNCH's NFI see and what it all means I've just summarized the bottom of https://skyweek.wordpress.com/2026/04/01/artemis-ii-vor-dem-start-maps-vor-dem-perihel/ with the still growing thread https://groups.io/g/comets-ml/topic/118640744 as the major source - in a nutshell there is still some life in this sungrazer (25 hours til perihelion!) and no evidence that it's beginning to fall apart which it will certainly do at one point.

It's a good book - well written for the most part and focusing on an important and understudied topic. Hopefully it will inspire others to do similar work.
That's what I want to say in this book review. Now I just need to do it with an addition 772 to 972 words.

One of my goals on social media is to put myself "on the record" for opinions and predictions.
There's lots of reasons I do this, far too much to explain in 500 words.
One reason is to force myself to examine the beliefs that steer my behavior, both consciously and unconsciously. Another is to gain self-awareness on just how often I'm... wrong.
I have more half-finished thoughts on this topic percolating in my head, but that's enough for one day.

Pope Leo XIV just published his first encyclical. It is on the topic of AI, and I'll want to take a closer look. But one thing already - the Pope quotes Gandalf from The Lord of the Rings: “It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till.”

Is there any situation in life where it is okay to tell somebody extensively your opinion about a topic - unasked - without giving them the chance to respond?
asking for a friend ...
I find it quite hard not to react with a rude "thanks, but did I ask for your monologue?"

At Turkey’s showcase diplomatic conference in the Mediterranean resort town of Antalya over the weekend, the United States was rarely the official topic of conversation.
But coursing through the discussions among the thousands of participants
— including dozens of heads of state and other senior officials from Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia
— were questions about how to respond when the United States disregards its allies and the global order it long professed to …

We’re not up to the interesting part yet.
My part in Minnebar is helping to create the schedule. We don’t hand-place talks in timeslots, or create “tracks” by topic. Instead, all the attendees vote, indicating •all• the sessions they’d like to see (as many or as few as they want to check off), and we generate a schedule from the votes. The schedule attempts to minimize attendee time conflict regret. That’s it.
(That process is interesting, but it’s not what this thread is about!)

There are a lot of possible explanations for this:
Maybe the people who aren’t interested in AI also happen to vote for more sessions. (At a quick prod at the data, penalizing votes from people who voted for large numbers of sessions does not seem to change the conclusions above, but I haven’t investigated this thoroughly.)
Maybe AI is a more fragmented topic due to its newness, and interest has not coalesced, leading to a large number of small sessions. (But again, •total• votes for AI, including the whole long tail, were proportionally smaller.)

I see somebody else is on this topic today! And yes, billionaires will use regulatory capture to the maximum extent they can get away with — so yes, I fully expect the AI lobby to advocate a tangled legal regime where LLM output is copyrighted but copying data to train an LLM is not a copyright violation.
