I had a friend who burned out from FB years ago when she was asking around for help with an undocumented GPU behavior and the developers at Nvidia referred her to herself. I heard she makes dresses now after divesting her shares.

the debugger now supports debugging Windows binaries running under Wine

this release might've been made for me personally

I didn't participate, but us golfers wondered why Google organized this. did they want a corpus of highly golfed Python? the task was to write 400 golfed functions to solve ARC-AGI grid transform problems. here's the top team's solutions: github.com/Seek64/NeurI...

I thought that was a cost-saving decision, it wasn’t?

Stuff that still needs to be ironed out:
- what can A do if M is unreasonable
- what if M and N's scopes overlap and their opinions differ
- avoiding polarization: let's say M deems B undesirable whereas N, O, P feel neutral. the path of least resistance for N, etc. shouldn't be nodding along

Interesting consequence is that if A gets rebuked by moderation service M, and A dodges responsibility by unsubscribing (a public action) others can take that as a negative signal regardless of what they think of M's moderation criteria. A break-up on bad terms => wide consequences. 6/6

The more fundamental suggestion I have is this: rather than users choosing moderation services to judge the rest of the world, users choose moderation services to hold themselves accountable.

By specifying a court they're willing to abide by they are given tentative access to other communities. 5/6

So hijacking someone else's thread (C) to plug your own message is using it as a platform. (To be clear I am not proposing this as a moral framework to judge C for the state of their replies)

Thus my first concrete suggestion: a relationship type that lets A reply to C but default hides those posts

Now controlling what other people do feels a bit antithetical to the internet-like role bsky wants to take. Here I want to propose a definition for "platform" when visibility is so point-of-view dependent:

It's access to people who you couldn't convince to switch to a different channel for you. 3/6

Surprisingly when people want a place to be moderated, they're not just expressing how they should be interacted with but also how they want third parties interact with each other. Here they'd want others to boycott A in solidarity. But expectation of a certain tone falls under that too. 2/6

int f(int a, int b, int c) {
for (int i=a; i^c; i=b) {
// at most two iter. (incl. exit)
}
}

of course you need to accept infinite loops as UB for this to work
