SpaceX broke the decades-long practice of costs-plus contracts for lump sum contracts from DOD. DOD wanted to offer them the same costs-plus contract style they give to other defense contractors and SpaceX turned that down and demanded lump sum on delivery.
Oh yes. Surely the federal government could manage it better than Musk. Think of the progress we could have if NASA were running SpaceX instead.
According to the article, the reason X has taken action is because the dossier contains Vance’s home addresses.
While you studied the catch scratcher, I studied the blade.
I was able to get 4 or 5 usable cat scratchers out of one blade.
So the way it’s ruining those markets is by making more goods available at lower prices?
The push to require paying to read content that is shared openly on the web is designed to drive a feasibility wedge between large and small operations.
It means that a small handful of organizations will actually have the funds to be able to buy enough training data, and that all other smaller AI ventures will be illegal.
This is designed to concentrate AI power into a few hands.
Think critically about the narratives being fed to you. AIs must be allowed to read the web, because if they are not then we will have a unipolar AI ecosystem and the future of humanity will be extremely dark.
We need a multipolar AI ecosystem and the only way to do that is to have lots of small players making their own AI.
If we have a multipolar AI ecosystem, then AI will be forced to play nice because of the effects of parity, and therefore AI will develop along a prosocial, negotiating, respectful path.
Unipolar AI will be tyrannical, cruel, and evil. Unipolar AI will be the result of making it illegal to train AI on web content.
Please see past the propagandistic narrative. Today it is OpenAI that is fighting for this right. Tomorrow it will be smaller players. That is a good thing. That is what we want.

Not from an ASCII
Then the identity still has a home.
I’ve implemented Oauth and you still have an identity provider.
The vast majority of people who use lemmy have not read the activitypub protocol, and signed up to use lemmy as it exists today
Identity belonging to an instance, changing to identity belonging to the fediverse as a whole.
Identities containing @instance format.
Identities being federated.
At a more abstract level, inviting a bunch of people to play a game, and then changing the rules of the game, is a shitty thing to do.
The fediverse has rules built into it. It has a way that it works. Changing that makes it something else.
Maybe failover identities that consume the primary identity’s activities as a log. The failover identity (let’s call them jump clones for fun eh?) can be stood up as primary if the primary goes down (gets banned, instance dies, etc)
My potential argument against it starts with asking where the credentials are stored for authenticating this identity.
Currently the home instance stores the hashed password and performs authentication.
In a way, the identity “belongs to” the place that does authentication, which now happens to be the instance.
If identity is decoupled from an instance, that means authentication decouples from an instance.
If the identity “belongs to” the fediverse as a whole, then that means the fediverse as a whole has an authentication mechanism.
Unless we can come up with a distributed authentication mechanism, that means the fediverse as a whole has some authentication service, as in one, which means centralized.
This therefore breaks decentralization, unless the authentication is somehow handled in a distributed way. Maybe consensus or something on a hashed password? But if those hashed passwords are stored in a distributed manner, then you’d need a super long password to prevent rainbow table attacks on the passwords, given the hashed values would essentially be public information.
Maybe public keys are stored in a blockchain? I don’t know this is beyond me in the details.
But to summarize the problem at a data model level, an identity belongs to an instance, because the instance can authenticate them. If the identity now belongs to the whole fediverse, then the whole fediverse needs to be able to authenticate them, which if not handled correctly could lead to centralized authentication, centralized banning, censorship, reddit, etc.
Yes. If you know the material’s molecular composition, you can tune a series of lasers to break those bonds with minimal energy input.
You don’t even need the explicit makeup of the material. You can just do a quick calibrating scan consisting of a rainbow sweep of every frequency, while watching to see the scattering pattern of the photons.
Assuming that your laser tuning system makes different tones when it’s producing different wavelengths of light, your weapon’s appearance while firing would be like:
The calibration is only like one second. These properties conveniently make it awesome to include in a cinematic depiction such as a sci fi movie.
Activitypub can include private messages
Did the child protection schemes involve compromising the security of communications on the app?
How is Facebook able to know what site is requesting it? Is it in the referer header, or is it parameters in the javascript/image url?
Is that because the like button is an iframe?
