Fun example in the app I made for it. The message the LLM actually interpreted can be seen when you mouse over. I should find a name for a simulation of the experience of being misunderstood.
New: Meta has deleted trans and nonbinary Messenger themes, as well as the blog posts announcing them. Happens the same week that it has changed its rules to allow users to say LGBTQ+ people are "mentally ill"

neat "... under different conditions, distinct mechanisms (cell:cell communication and tubulogenesis vs. cytoskeletal bending) are triggered toward the same specific large-scale outcome. It arises because evolution does not just make specific solutions to specific problems, it makes problem-solving systems that do not over-train on prior history, knowing that both environment and genetics will change over time"

Main question is whether it's safe to do so without intense trauma given the amount of cells and whether it's possible to target them without affecting the rest of the body. Last thing will be what to do about excess skin post reduction. 🤷 Seems like it's worth persuing anyway
So, these mrna vaccines can be used to get the body's mune system to attack not omly invaders but alao arbitrary cells. This is used in animals to sterilize them without surgery by making their immune system attack their reproductive cells. I think this poses the opportunity for non invasive breast reduction by making the body attack just the cells in a persons breasts. Potential win for trans masc folks

I'm sure there's an untapped market for "Dumb" tech. Bonus points for repairable, dumb tech.
No AI assistants, no Internet connection, no DRM or login needed.
Just a toaster that makes toast, a TV that plays only what you put in it, with repair kits, spare parts available, easy to reach guts and accessible schematics, diagrams and instructions.
I know I'd buy no other brands if just one offered that to me.

What's the point of money when billionaires think they can just throw humanity away and live in their bunkers as we all starve and die of disease. Why do we keep participating in this stupid system made to grind us into a pulp so some rich kid can idle away and jerk off to how meritocratic everything is.
Get your website back, reclaim your history
In the digital world, there’s nothing more disheartening than losing access to a website you’ve poured time and effort into building — a connection point with readers, referenced by links to articles and news :(
Lost your website? We can (maybe) help!
We're offering a Resilience Grant for NGOs, non-profits, and individuals who protect human rights and empower people, especially those facing systemic inequity and prejudice. We'll recover your site and make it more resilient with the DWeb—100% free.
Apply now through this form! We'll be choosing two organizations to work with in early January 2025.
FAQs
How will you recover my site?
We can restore your site if it meets certain technical conditions. Share your details in the registration form so we can evaluate whether we can help you.
How do you make my website more resilient?
At Distributed Press, we specialize in creating decentralized versions of websites using protocols like IPFS and Hypercore.
Having collaborative copies of your site hosted outside HTTP helps avoid fragility and link rot, reduces the risk of losing information, makes your data more resistant to censorship and deletion, and ensures it remains accessible even if/when hosting servers go down. As part of this grant, we’ll not only recover your site but also host it on the Distributed Web.
What are the conditions?
We will recover 1 site for 2 organizations or individuals during February 2025. Selection criteria include technical feasibility of the restoration and your consent to share the story as a case study afterward. Due to the tight timeline of this project, you’ll also need to agree to a response time of around 48 hours — so we can move forward together!
