Sorry, had to redraft. My app is not having fun with the edits.

A thought I've been chewing on after a particularly vivid dream: I wonder if the minotaur in the maze was a symbol of the internal human struggle between our needs in both a wild and a built world and how those structures, like cities, are overwhelming and oppressive while simultaneously being isolating and entrapping. Or perhaps a symbol of domesticates being trapped between two worlds...

Why don't you understand? The human race IS an endless number of monkeys and every day we produce an endless number of words and one of us already wrote hamlet.

NikaShilobod,

@ErikUden

Pi in binary contains every possible version of Hamlet, so, maybe theoretically, we also have a lot of the tools to improve it too!

I guess this is turning into a real project so putting this out there if anyones interested:

We're making a very lightweight tool to create RSS feeds for journals from crossref metadata (with room for other sources). If ya dont know, many publishers are shutting down their RSS feeds to drive people onto their surveillance platforms, and every enshittification leaves behind an opening for adversarial interop.

This opens some interesting possibilities like creating feeds for keywords indexed across journals to start breaking down journals as the major organizational scheme of scholarly lit - papers have metadata keywords, but they mostly arent used, so lets use them!

Eventually wed like to write a FastAPI plugin similar to activitypub-express so we can make all feeds available on the fedi as well, and that would be a really nice set of tools to build for smaller AP projects that dont necessarily want to be full instances.

This is designed to be extremely deployable so you can run your own feed generator, but we'll also host a reference instance here at feeds.neuromatch.social once we get it running.

Just getting started, help wanted and welcome from anyone who loves #RSS and reading papers ♥

I LOVE THIS. It's the tool I've been looking for forever. Will have to take a poke around when I can, may be a bit though.

PS I've collected some RSS meta lists already I think. I'll see if I can dig them out if you want them.

Hey @paleofire, I have a student that I am helping with his dissertation project and he needs to count . Do you guys have any go to texts for lab and counting methods? I have not done this type of analysis before. @geoscience

"Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia [...] and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević."

People talk about politics like they were players on sports teams, not realising that they are actually the ball.

Are there generative AI systems that can generate do music-music generation? That is, upload a snippet of the music you want + prompt => new music?

Similar to image-to-image gen but for music?

Thought experiment time. Curious on what others think.

If:

  • The proletariat transcends state borders.
  • The traditional concepts of form and function of the classical state structure may be part of the current problems.
  • Our current issues are systemic and the current form of the democratic system is set to defend the state as is and work within it, be it economic, social, political, environmental etc.

/1

NikaShilobod,
  • Democracy can be a part of many movements in different forms.
  • There is something to be said for building something new from the ground up, but getting there is a different matter.
  • We know a lot of issues are systemic and we have not always lived like this.

Then:

How do we try something new without violence and benefits the most people?

/end

NikaShilobod,

@apodoxus

Neat! Will look into the term more. :) For others:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prefigurative_politics

I'm not totally opposed to hierarchy but not in its current form (something something no unjust hierarchies). I do like Graber, who is quoted in here. :)

NikaShilobod,

@apodoxus

I guess my only hangup is that this probably essentially ensures violence if these movements get big enough and will be limited by the current systems as it directly challenges the current state (eg Occupy). In order for something like that to succeed it would need to have a majority population suddenly onboard to transition and essentially swat current capital away like a dust broom. I don't know how you could organically grow that without it being squashed.

NikaShilobod,

@apodoxus

I admire this kind of activism but I wonder if it's not broad enough at times to really overhaul and address systemic issues, but maybe that's just me being impatient. Then again lots of smaller acts do add up over time and can force change. Perhaps lots of smaller decentralised pushes is the way. Act local, think global etc.
