no, its public federated social media running on at protocol. no big tech control, no crypto bullshit like nostr, no way for bad admins to delete your posts like mastodon (they can only ban you from their own server). you can build a web of trust or vetting system on top of that like what tangled is doing for code.
the danger comes from the fact anthropic is a for profit company and they could train it to benefit them instead of the public. if they go ahead with it they should get nationalized, their self improving ai analyzed for any hidden agenda and then released as open source.
the main reason i dont like sql is the way it splits your query into parts that run in a different order and you can only have one of each. thats why you need things like ctes. if it was a more "functional" language with features like let bindings it would be easier to understand (and maybe to optimize):
from customers as c
let orders := all(orders where customer_id = c.id)
select c.name, count(orders), avg(orders.price)
its more than annotations, your code fails to compile when you get a type error at least with strict settings. if it type checks and fails at runtime that means youre missing input validation or using bad declarations for third party/legacy untyped code. or using some escape hatch like `myValue as unknown as MyType` in the wrong way.
i only see two options. either the state of research funding and support in america is so bad that people lose their mental health and die by suicide, or its a murder campaign. theres no way all these deaths are coincidence.
It is worth double-checking your intuitions on these things. How large is the pool of people that you are considering anomalous and what would the base rate of accidental deaths or suicides be for a subset of the general population that size?
was there some regulation preventing them from just shutting the plants down and selling off the real estate and equipment? severance payments too high?
IIRC they had an agreement that Globalfoundries were to take the fabs and further develop them to shrink to better nodes. I think it was less than a "take this crap off of us" and more of a "we still need fabs, so here's some money and please continue running them for a while". GloFo then utterly failed at competing with TSMC, Samsung and Intel which was quite a problem for IBM. In general if you have a certain design you can't immediately port it to a different fab, you need to engineer it around the constraints of the fab node and process
> move to self-hosted servers on onion sites, and have automation that copies out the relevant products to the centralized watering holes to attract noobs
or self host a federated forge like tangled.org where you get all the discoverability and social features with no centralized control. anti social isolated sites should die together with big tech.
personalised feeds are great when its actually doing what you (the user) want and not pushing paid ads or political agenda. the whole reason i dont use fediverse apps that much is they built up a culture of "respects your attention" with algorithms that are built to be non addictive. i just need that dopamine rush.
instead we should force these platforms to open source their algorithm and give users choice with a following only feed. or make bluesky/at protocol style federation mandatory to prevent vendor lock in. you decide.
the name lives on in the pirate community. someone called Razor12911 created XTool (https://github.com/Razor12911/xtool), its a compression library a lot of famous repackers use. im not sure if they are a former razor member or the name is just a homage but its cool either way
