Heather Doshay, head of people at SignalFire, told the New York Times: “Nobody has patience or time for hand-holding in this new environment, where a lot of the work can be done by A.I. autonomously.”

This is how they think. It’s not smart.

Nobody who’s into vibe coding wants to talk about it. The sane people, on the other hand, are already well aware.

It doesn’t say what they’re planning to do about laws requiring age verification. It says they’re forming a group to figure that out. The problem with bad legislation is you can’t just ignore it, so they need to at least work out an approach. In itself this news is neutral, but we’ll have to see what they decide.

There must be so many people on it. If we all keep speaking our minds about ICE and their fascist leaders maybe we can keep bloating out that list.

I think a “threat” is just anyone who isn’t paying Trump enough protection money.

Personally I’d just patch it in software by coding up my own CPU cooler.

Is that a strap with a buckle holding it on?

I like this kid.

It seems to be an open source application that anyone can host on a server.

The Github repo is called “meet”. So maybe they named it Meet then thought, “Oh no, Google will sue us, let’s choose a different name like… Visio!”

They should really call it Visio Zoom Meet for Teams that Excel.

Following their link to LiveKit’s blog, it seems LiveKit provides a real-time communication stack with adaptive video encoding. So they’re using it to handle multiple video streams over connections of varying quality. I don’t think it’s mainly about AI, even though that’s LiveKit’s focus.

I could have happily watched that for a lot longer.

Which would leave no means of resistance but confrontation. Unfortunately all the “well-organized militias” have decided they love government tyranny after all, and joined ICE.

You don’t get that rich by being honest or caring about your world.

ICE can’t kill us all. The climate change our politicians and corporations are resolutely ignoring certainly can.

Surely you mean Gee.

The G in GIF stands for Graphical, but the G in Graphical stands for Graham Crackers, the G in Graham Crackers stands for God, and the G in God stands for Gnu. From there it’s Gnus all the way down. Also, God pronounces “Graphical” with a soft G as in Jod.

Well that makes more sense. Thanks for the information!

Is this named after Karl Popper? If so that’s unfortunate because Popper spent his life arguing against the validity of inductive reasoning in science. His distinctive contribution was to try to describe a scientific method that did not depend on induction.

In Chinese, affirmation is often compiled through negation:

没错 (méi cuò) = “not wrong” = Right

不差 (bù chà) = “not bad” = Decent

还行 (hái xíng) = “still passable” = Okay

没事 (méi shì) = “no problem” = It’s fine

In English, this feels bizarre. If something is good, you say:

Nice

Great

Perfect

Brilliant

You name the quality directly. You point at it. You own it.

In American positivity-laden, self-marketing, businessy English perhaps. But in the UK “not bad”, “could be worse”, “not wrong”, “can’t complain”, “I’ve had worse” and so on is often as positive as it gets, or at least was for a long time. American positive-speak gets on British people’s nerves; it’s perceived as boorish, boastful and unsubtle. And “no problem” is common in English all over. British people do say “brilliant” but only when they’re being unusually enthusiastic, or fake, or sarcastic.
