@prologic I really liked it. One or the other section might feel a bit dated, because it is. But that doesn't hurt the overall experience at all. Currently, I'm continuing with the next one: https://www.defmacro.org/2006/06/19/fp.html So far I can recomment this one, too. Both are written in an entertaining style and I feel like I have a little bit better understanding of things than before. But some mental power is required to wrap my head around some sections I've noticed. It's no mind candy. :-) But that's good. I never worked with any real functional language before. All my FP experience is limited what other languages offer in that field.

@prologic I figured you meant him, but it's true of me too. :) Roger that, re the rest.
@jlj Oh I was talking about @bender 😆 No further progress on the AP integration so far, probably end up redoing the work as a separate bridge 🤔 But there are real problems and real concerns 😢

@prologic Hehe. I certainly do: I've been talkin' up the ActivityPub integration on the Keyoxide forum and the Fediverse, only to return and find the family in crisis over it. D: Still not sure what the latest is, or which side I'm on.

@bender I think it's normal to go through phases with this sort of thing. (Or maybe I'm projecting.) But, yeah, if you aren't developing some sort of relationships with peers on a platform, I'd say what you're talking about is inevitable.
@prologic Ha ha. That is an understatement. Still, super cool!
If I had more free time right now I'd write another blog post about this. For now, I just wanted to register how infuriating, tiring, and lousy this firehose of AI this/AI that is.
A lot of people in the US don't seem to know that cars were crammed down our collective throats in much the same way, over enormous protests. Cars killed tons of people, and building roads destroyed communities on a massive scale. Huge numbers of people protested all of this and more, but cars were rammed through as something we just had to bear anyway.
Many people, including me, have raised alarm bells about this AI technology, and yet here we are having it rammed through in much the same way. It's a pattern in the United States for sure, if not in the Western world generally. The powers that be don't seem inclined to slow this process down or regulate it in anyway. I suspect they won't start until the harms it can cause and are already causing become so great they can't be ignored anymore.
I posted this on LinkedIn:
> ACM, Association for Computing Machinery recently circulated a survey about their authorship policies. I strongly agree with their stance that AI text generators should not be listed as authors. I strongly disagree with their stance that research articles could contain generated text if it is disclosed and meets some other reasonable critiera. I believe the inclusion of such text in research articles fundamentally reduces their quality relative to texts authored entirely by human beings. I also believe, given how AI text generators are trained, that their use is a form of plagiarism. I very much hope the ACM reverses course on that particular aspect of their policy.

@shreyan first time I've seen someone mention gnu taler. Been following it since it was announced:) never used for anything other then testing though.
at higher levels of intelligence, maintaining coherence becomes more difficult since your action space widens and having high coherence might be NP-hard. so the better metric is coherence divided by size of action space

@prologic Consider making feeds.twtxt.net support pleroma/akkoma instances too.
I don't think that you can get a rss feed from them, so it might be a
little more work. Sorry, I know it might be difficult so if it's outside
of the project's scope it's not needed but it'd be nice.
(I think it's completly out of scope so no need really, I don't know if
I should host another feeds instance for myself as I don't know if I
should really setup my rss from newsboat to jenny (getting emails
made by jenny in a directory in my home directory)
I fell like I want to do the oposite, have twtxt feeds available as rss.
(I should probably write a script or something that runs jenny (on
cron), and then parses the mail folder for mail, and makes every email
be a entry in the rss feed)

@movq No, to my knowledge it ends up at the same place when collected with the commercial wastepaper trucks, too. We get some money from the recycling company for bringing it to them. The price per ton varies with the resource price on the market and when it rains some rate is subtracted to account for higher weight due to the water. Even though it's quite some work, it's also a fun activity.
At least over here it's common that (larger) local clubs participate in these wastepaper collections. I reckon it originated in times where there were no commercial wastepaper trucks and municipalities had to organize something, so they asked their clubs to participate. I can't really remember, but I think when I was a kid, wastepaper was 100% collected by volunteers. Nowadays we also have the wastepaper recycling trucks for the „Blaue Tonne“ (blue bin). I think in the past we as the scouts had two to three collections a year, now it's only one.
This time was very bad timing. The blue bins were emptied the same week, so there was only half the material of regular collections. The volunteer run dates are planned by the town hall and apparently not synchronized with the recycling company's schedule.
