guns, death 

@demize @ariadne @adrienne Honestly, banning assult rifles seems kinda realistic since they seem to be made for mass murder. 😅 I think most of the long guns are here are made for hunting, though some folks also use fancier things for shooting ranges. I'm not very well connected to Canadian gun culture though so I might be missing a lot of nuance.

live tooting debugging: IPFS edition 

We've got a working version of distributed.press deployed to our staging VMm but for some reason it's taking a long time to load anything (usually the first load times out). And gateways are having trouble loading published data at all.

My initial thought was that this was a firewall thing where incoming connections aren't happening.

After tweaking IPTables rules I'm not sure. Gotta get better logs.

gun talk, death 

@adrienne @ariadne I think the fear of getting to a point where any random person on the street might shoot you dead is pretty real and scary though. :/ One of the reasons I'm avoiding travel to the states for a while.

gun talk 

@adrienne @ariadne Yeah! Our gun regulations are pretty reasonable IMO. I think most provices just require you to keep the bullets and gun stored separately so that kids don't get in them and stuff. Also open carry / small guns are a big no no which is pretty reasonable IMO. Of course the US is just a widely different environment so we can't just apply Canada's standards there overnight. 😅

@ariadne Yeah, I'm in Canada and the general sentiment is that people are scared of any guns at all. I was talking with a friend about how in the US context community protection with guns a la the Black Panthers is some of the only ways people can get protection from organized hate group violence and the violence of the state.

Really sad when the state fails to fulfill it's end of the social contract. :(

@futurebird I think I only got into math after my parents managed to get me some one on one sessions with a tutor. Very thankful to have had the opportunity to do so. I'm still not "a math person" but I think it was nice to get over the barrier of thinking there was nothing in it for me at all.

@tty Heck yeah. I was planning to review it for myself once it was out regardless. 🥰

I'm quite excited to see what y'all are working on there.

@tty Tech doc, also recently did a spec for this IPLD based data structure which was a lot of effort.

Web archive thing (WIP): github.com/webrecorder/specs/p

IPLD thing (done): github.com/ipld/ipld/pull/254

I could review your thing for yah once it's together if you'd like. :)

@tty Major mood. Working on this web archive IPFS chunking thing right now and it's a lot of effort.

Wish you luck in finishing it up and that this will save others many many hours of trouble with its existence.

@pguth I use etke.cc to manage the deployment on a VM that I own. Ends up being like 20-30 CAD a month with all the costs? Most of it is the VM though

Don't like strangers busting into your mentions to give unsolicited opinions?

This could be solved if the Fediverse had better comment controls.

You should be able to make a read-only post if you want.

And you should be able to make a public post that's only writeable to followers.

You should also be able to lock a thread if it becomes a vector for abuse.

Hi, I work with generative machines. Everything from Markov chain generators to GPT-3. I’ve trained and tuned many models with GPT2 and 3, all with the intent of simulating human interaction.

I know a fair bit about generative machines, both how they work, and how to tune and interact with them to get particular results.

I need you to hear this: they do not know or understand anything. They are complex probability tables.
