It'd be cool if there was an approach of using "visual embeddings" applied to facial recognition. One could teach their personal agent a face by telling it to read the facial embedding and when encountering people the facial embeddings could be pulled from a regular vector DB instead of trying to train a new recognizer on the face. Probs easier to share data that way too.
@jeremy_list Good point I could probably wrap it in a macro to map the option and flatten it all.
@jeremy_list In this case each layer has a different meaning it's basically Didn't Time Out ( Stream still Open ( IO read didn't fail (Bytes)))
@jonny Maybe, i just have different errors I need to send for each level. I'm wrapping a read from a channel of io results in a timeout.
This week's #Rust type of the day is `Result<Option<Result<Bytes>>>`
@trevorflowers at least in the many worlds interpretation they still exist just out of reach
I don’t want a computer with adverts in the task bar or menu, on which I can’t run my own software freely and easily, or which I can’t repair myself.
I don’t want an eReader which snitches on my reading, or which can remove my books.
I don’t want to use a proprietary third party service and app for my dishwasher.
I don’t want a car which can be controlled remotely via someone else’s servers.
@ShadowJonathan i think I'm paying like 15 or 20 for mine rn 💀 that shit is a storage hog
@trwnh ooo link?
Hackers showed me (there's video) how a website vulnerability let them locate, unlock, honk the horn, start ignition of any of millions Kias in seconds, just by reading a car's license plate.
They found similar bugs for a dozen carmakers over the last two years.

TBH I don't think most people should be on algorithmic social media. Happy people aren't chronically online and these places are machines for brainworm infection and cortisol spiking.
I think "friend only" social timelines and read-only feeds of stuff you're interested in is okay though.
OFC I could never escape the draw of cyberspace, but I am a bit beyond salvation.
Advice for anybody starting a new Fediverse thing: The only real requirement in ActivityPub is that the content type is either application/activity+json or application/ld+json; profile="https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams". A lot of people have implemented this.
I think describing this as hazing against new projects might be appropriate.

@hermeticvm@convo.casa @agregore Ohhh I see. This is for the built in LLM UI they have. I am working on JavaScript APIs for web apps to have access to.
@hermeticvm@convo.casa @agregore Oh snap. Is their api stable? Have you tried it out?
Occult Enby that's making local-first software with peer to peer protocols, mesh networks, and the web.
Exploring what a local-first cyberspace might look like in my spare time.
