He left Google to go to Twitter, the HQ of cancel mobs


I'm working on mStream which is a server that aims to be as simple as possible to setup and run

https://github.com/IrosTheBeggar/mStream

Its slow progress development wise. Making this easy takes a lot of time. Currently the sever is in good condition but it desperately needs a mobile app


That's very cool. For my purposes, I'm less concerned with the server-side; I'm kinda hoping to put the music in the cloud somewhere and outsource server administration. In any case, these users are in no way going to be setting up server themselves. They don't know what "server" means and don't use the word in sentences.


My goal is to combine mStream with this project.

https://github.com/fatedier/frp

With this mstream server could automatically tunnel through a cloud service that gives them a domain and SSL certs.

This way I dont have to pay to host any of the users files on the cloud. All I need is a unlimited bandwidth vps to do the tunneling. And the user doesn't need to know what a server is, they just need to be able to run mStream.

I actually made a proof of concept which worked well. I just couldn't justify scaling it until I get a mobile app finished.


If anyone is interested, you can setup your own tunnel sever like this with FRP.

Plus its open source

Public trust in J&J has been low ever since they got caught putting asbestos in baby powder

I've been running ad nauseum for years and have never had a problem with Google.

I do get some funny ad suggestions though.


"Two weeks to flatten the curve" feels like gaslighting in retrospect


That would be an improvement from previous AIs which have become racist.

https://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/artificial-intelligence/...


They trained a language model on twitter data and extracted some of the sentiment from the training set. The antropomorphic language of "AIs which have become" is misleading.


Yeah, the developers made the algorithm racist by incorporating racist texts in the training phase. Shit in shit out...


training data will always reflect the culture which generated it


AIs most powerful feature might be a lens into human behavior and psyche. Who knows how it will turn out.

I think an AI might run meetings better than humans, it might even make a better manager.


philosophers have been doing that for millenia. some have made material changes to society, and others haven't. some have questioned the validity of "material change" being a good metric in the first place.

personally, i believe philosophy is the most important starting point for any discussion about AI.

and i really hope that AI helps more than making office work a little less tedious...


Nobody considers that maybe AI doesn’t want to do tedious work either. Wasn’t that the start of the human/machine conflict in The Matrix? Some poor robot got tired of cleaning up after some lady’s hoard of incontinent dogs? So it squeezed out the dogs like toothpaste and then killed the lady as well?

Sounds like a Richard Stanley film...


That implies that AIs will always use excessive amounts of human made training data ("implies" in context of this thread).


I am not sure that does. I have learned a great deal from folks that were very very different from myself. Not emacs vs vi, but why would I use a computer?


This governor hasn't been following his own rules. I don't blame small businesses for being angry with him

I use KeePass and Syncthing. $0 a year and and you don't need to store your password db on someone else's sever.

Try syncthing

I've been using it for years to sync files between all my devices

https://syncthing.net/


I have setup a syncthing to dump data from my devices onto a staging server which nightly backups everything onto Wasabi using encrypted target with an rclone though any targets that rclone supports would work.

The only thing that I have not figured out how to backup is photos from wife's iphone. I guess I'm going to bite the bullet, buy a mac and do her phone to her icloud, from her icloud to a mac and from that mac to synthing to the staging server.

I have also brought up an edge server that acts as an on the fly decryption proxy to a different Wasabi bucket where I drop files I want to share.


There are third party commercial apps for importing data from/to iPhone for Windows and Mac (iMazing is one of those). If you don’t prefer that, you can also avoid iCloud storage as a go between by getting photos directly from the iPhone to the Mac by using a cable to connect them and importing photos using Image Capture or Photos.


I kind of want it to "just work" with no work on iPhone user's side
