Even more shocking is the revelation that somehow, even private DMs from Mastodon were mirrored on their public site and searchable. How this is even possible is beyond me, as DM’s are ostensibly only between two parties, and the message itself was sent from two hackers.town users.

I find this hard to believe but stranger things have happened.

It would be cool if Alamo still has events like Video Vortex and AGFA night after this purchase, but I kinda doubt it.

They sell microplates that you can use as well if you are having trouble progressing with standard plates. Also, working out to failure on the last set and doing a drop set to failure with a lighter weight are ways to progress.

Hegel has often been described as a brilliant philosopher and mind yet terrible communicator/writer so you're not alone. There's some great videos out there that helped to clarify Hegel's points that I would recommend seeking out. Heidegger is very similar in his writing style as far as density and obscurity. It took me a long time reading and re-reading Being and Time to make sense of it.

Hmmm, are you doing progressive overload and logging your workouts?

You listed your current stats, but what were your starting stats? I bet they were a lot different. You should be competing with yourself, not others.

Not every room or space will be hosted by someone self-hosting their server. I find it kind of appalling that this would be the solution. It’s certainly not what I’ve heard from people working on projects around moderation.

This is somewhat the goal, but without the hyperbole. Homeservers will be hosted by individuals or orgs, but will contain many rooms and spaces each. In 2020 there were over 20,000 homeservers. That number has without a doubt grown exponentially. The concept is the same with Mastodon. If you are worried about moderation on the matrix.org homeserver there are many lists of public homeservers across the web. Many people research homeservers to see if they are a good fit for them just as they do Mastodon instances.

This blog post gives a good idea of where matrix is heading. Notice their mission of decentralization.

Since agglomeration around a single instance is against the goals of Matrix and its Foundation, users need to have a way out and incentives to move.

We are committed both to making Matrix more accessible, and to doing the work to decenter the Matrix.org homeserver.

Matrix.org is meant to be an entry point, not a stopping point. As to your concern regarding built-in tools, matrix is just a spec, an open source federated communication protocol based on HTTP. The community builds tools. Matrix is not discord. In fact it is in opposition to the discord philosophy of centralization, data mining, advertising, and AI training.

It sounds like you are more concerned with the matrix.org homeserver than matrix itself. Matrix.org homeserver will eventually go away for personal use, this is the plan for the future. Matrix has always kept this homeserver open as proof of concept, but has not planned to keep it open forever as the goal is the widespread adoption of the protocol and for people and orgs to host their own servers and build tools using matrix.

The bullet points you listed are all currently able to be realized on any self-hosted homeserver.

I'm curious as to how you would improve the mod tools Lionir. I have found mod/admin tools and especially Mjolnir to be quite good.

Just keep in mind that even with a jetson board you'll need one of the higher memory configurations to have a non-frustrating stable diffusion experience. 32-64GB like the Orin and those aren't cheap. The nanos just don't cut it without severe optimizations and very long generate times.

I'd say his language theories had already been sufficiently challenged way before the advent of LLMs. But it's hard to deny that they helped to lay the groundwork for what we know about linguistics today, even if they weren't proven out in the end.

Two of my favorite Chomsky moments are his interview with Brian McGee and his debate with Foucault.

Yes, the model looks like miniLM I believe? Hosted locally. Used for OCR and image ID.
