- Comment on With Postmarks, social bookmarking is back -- but this time it's built on the fediverse | TechCrunch 1 year ago:
Ah yes! I almost do that already. With RSS as well. So you can combine communities and RSS Feeds, not mastodon users yet though. It’s kind of fun standardizing all the different ActivityPub implementations into a single data model. Mastodon timelines or users are essentially whole communities.
To be honest, building a web-version of that pipeline as a NPM package might be helpful for others, piping in all the different types of fediverse content into a single stream.

I’ve had an idea, that I could easily pivot to this and become a FOSS solution. But, I wonder if it actually solves a problem. Essentially, I wanted my lemmy instance to allow sign-ups. But, the posts and channels were auto-generated. So when you log into the app or sign-up it creates a community in the instance along with it. (loom.nyc/c/pexavc) and then all the posts are automatically generated from the posts you save anywhere in the fediverse. (The app supports lemmy and mastodon for now). But, this would also allow all your bookmarks to essentially “federate”.

Removed the other comment.
Because I think I get the point now. I actually never heard of these services before. And didn’t realize people liked to share their “saves/bookmarks”.
It’s super interesting.

Yeah. It is depressing.
I’ve always wanted an accessibility feature that uses haptic feedback to mimic braille patterns for reading purposes too.
In general a lot of creative stuff can be done if we focused on it even a tiny bit more.
- Comment on what is RSS? 1 year ago:
Which NYT rss feed are you using? Mine seems to have paywalled articles + is it maybe the app you are using? It’s surprisingly easy to crawl the full text to display it

Oh wow, that’s good to know. I always attributed visual graphics to be way more intensive. Wouldn’t think a text generative model to take up that much Vram

The flow of the writing style felt kinda off, like someone was speaking really fast spewing random trivia and leaving

it feels like, that was the plan all along

i wonder what the average age is for owning a house is nowadays, for gen x / millennials
- Comment on AI Is Starting to Look Like the Dot Com Bubble 1 year ago:
Yeah, I assumed the general consensus was “alt coins” in crypto or the scams themselves. But, Ethereum and initial projects that basically creating the foundational technologies for other alt coins to rise are still respected and I’d say has a use case, but is not “production ready?”. So for AI/ML in LLMs at least, things like LLaMa, Stability’s, GPT’s, Anthropic’s Claude, are not included in this bubble, since they aren’t necessarily built on top of each other, but are derivatives. But, anything a level higher maybe.
- Comment on AI Is Starting to Look Like the Dot Com Bubble 1 year ago:
Never really understood the gatekeeping around the phrase “AI”. At the end of the day the general study itself is difficult to understand for the general public. So shouldn’t we actually be happy that it is a mainstream term? That it is educating people on these concepts, that they would otherwise ignore?

Heard of something similar in the past. “Be the Arms dealer”
- Comment on AI Is Starting to Look Like the Dot Com Bubble 1 year ago:
it’s so effective, it only takes a few milking it to completely saturate the opportunity market
Yeah, this is the problem. The moment a couple cover each platform. The bubble gets created really fast with the wrapper implementations that follow suit.
- Comment on AI Is Starting to Look Like the Dot Com Bubble 1 year ago:
Yeah early this year, I was crunching the numbers on even a simple client to interface with LLM APIs. It never made sense, the monthly cost I would have to charge vs others using it to at least feel financially safe, never felt like a viable business model or real value add. That’s not even including Generative Art, which would definitely be much more. So, don’t even know how any of these companies charging <$10/mo are profitable.
- Comment on AI Is Starting to Look Like the Dot Com Bubble 1 year ago:
I said the same thing. It feels like that. I wonder if there’s some sociological study behind what has been pushing “wrappers” of implementations at high volume. Wrappers meaning, 90%+ of the companies are not incorporating Intellectual Property of any kind and saturating the markets with re-implementations for quick income and then scrapping. I feel this is not a new thing. But, for some reason it feels way more “in my face” the past 4 years.

Hey there, I finally feel the application has reached a relatively stable state. So wanted to share the TF link: testflight.apple.com/join/owwIagmV and open source repo: github.com/neatia/Loom for more details! Hoping to make another post sometime soon when all the base functionalities are implemented (Mod mode, etc)
- Comment on What are your thoughts on a on-device model that "fact-checks/determines bias" on comments and posts? 1 year ago:
Yeah that’s a great thought, focusing on the author. Like in that long thread with another user, they also identified entertaining “punditry” instead may be more useful.
- Comment on What are your thoughts on a on-device model that "fact-checks/determines bias" on comments and posts? 1 year ago:
From your first paragraph, was wondering (kind of, but not related to the OP). If there is an obvious variable around education that was physically experienced how can one incorporate tech (if it’s their only tools available) to safely address the problem while being aware of
original creative position of null bias or objectivity. Alternatively, they stem from a position of overestimation of one’s knowledge and/or abilities related to subjects that they don’t in fact know much about nor have much experience in.. Especially when they do not have the resources to gather data at the scale needed from every sociologist/philosopher of different focus, culture/subculture. Or the ability to be a part of higher education where you might people of this caliber? - Comment on What are your thoughts on a on-device model that "fact-checks/determines bias" on comments and posts? 1 year ago:
yeah definitely agreed
- Comment on What are your thoughts on a on-device model that "fact-checks/determines bias" on comments and posts? 1 year ago:
I guess it would only help for reading articles if anything. Or a comment that has a tone for informing such as “Actually, this is so and so because of so and so”. But, I see your point.
- Comment on What are your thoughts on a on-device model that "fact-checks/determines bias" on comments and posts? 1 year ago:
Yeah, that was an interesting shift in perspective. Good point
- Comment on What are your thoughts on a on-device model that "fact-checks/determines bias" on comments and posts? 1 year ago:
Yeah that is true, technology being the facilitator for teaching is still a shortcut. And a shortcut still kind of hurts the critical thinking.

I remember we had to build an obj-c wrapper for FB’s calls like these because of these crashes, that basically ignored the stall and continued the user’s session regardless
- Comment on What do you all think of this Lemmy Client for iOS/macOS I am building? 1 year ago:
Alternative font systems is interesting. What font do you have in mind? I could add a settings option to customize fonts and/or font sizes. For the compact feel how many posts would that be per page? On maybe a iPhone 13 Max screen

Thanks for the feedback! For the comments feed were you referring to the bookmarks? Yeah I really like to save comments and browsing through them as if I were looking through a catalog of quotes on goodreads, having it look like a feed was nice. And about comments looking like posts. I see what you mean, I’ll think of a way to make them feel unique. I’ll need to try out Thunder soon too, I have another idea I haven’t seen yet, about content uploading when I get around to it, I’d wonder what you’d think about it.
