I agree as long as you are very upfront about it being a learning/stream of conciousness blogpost, then it should be fine to watch how someone's learning journey progresses.

Maintaining a high signal-to-noise ratio is important to some people, and they may completely disregard the musings of people outside their field of expertise.
OMP has this, it's called "/shake" where bloat from tool calls and such is turned into an artifact ref instead of remaining in the context.
There are other pruning or compaction strategies you can configure too.
You can also use "/btw" to have side tangent conversations with the current context but with the benefit that it will not bloat your current context after the tangent is done.
I wish other harnesses were prioritising this sort of flexibility with context management, but they're likely more incentivised on optimising their cache rates

Ah, something I needed, but did not know I needed. Comes up ALL the time. I want to know something that is well off the task, but it's the best time to ask due to the specifically loaded context.
the main reason they mentioned [1] for radicle.network is because their old domain radicle.xyz was blocked in some places by some lists that they think was because it may have hosted certain UGC that triggered some flags.
> Content about Radicle (explainers, guides, download links, blog posts) which is under control of the Radicle team. We will use radicle.dev for these purposes.
> Content on Radicle (repositories hosted on practically any node on the network) which the Radicle team has only very little control over, accessible via Radicle Explorer. Going forward, our deployment of Radicle Explorer will not be hosted on app.radicle.xyz anymore, but instead it will be hosted at radicle.network.
> The idea is of course that if there are complaints about or issues with radicle.network in the future, we hope that radicle.dev stays largely unaffected and people can continue to inform themselves about Radicle and learn how to set it up.
On a semi-related note, this is a good time to remind anyone that hasn't yet heard of the Public Suffix List (PSL) [2][3] to make sure you put your domains that may be hosting UGC in the form <usercontent>.<yourdomain>.<tld> (ie: eTLDs) on that list so browsers and other block lists are aware that the user provisioned subdomains are UGC and not from your site so it properly isolates cookies/site grouping and won't flag your entire domain as malicious.
> deployment of Radicle Explorer will not be hosted on app.radicle.xyz anymore, but instead it will be hosted at radicle.network.
So it would be a lot clearer (read: not completely unclear), if radicle.network actually said "Radicle Explorer" somewhere. "Radicle Explorer" is a great descriptive name which instantly conveys a lot of information about what it is and does! But it doesn't appear anywhere there.
but on a serious note it is a bit more than some guy's list, it's more of an initiative that was started by the Mozilla Foundation and is used by:
- browsers: Firefox, Chrome, Opera...
- password managers, Let's Encrypt, cURL
- Cloudflare
just to name a few.
Though yeah there have been privacy concerns and problems with projects that use outdated versions of the list outlined in Brave's paper (no affiliation):

We live in a world with cognitive dissonance. We have to because if you don't you'd go insane.
This article is perhaps a good example of that. On the one hand live in public (post blogs, use the same avatar on multiple sites) but at the same time try and control how that publicness is consumed (humans only, no AI).
Right now, whatever you make public is in AI. Whether that is on HN, or your blog, or wherever. You may not like that, but public is ultimately public.
Ironically a blog post about leaving some service because they used the marketing phrase "AI", is immediately added to the AI training corpus.
AI is just the latest tech in a long history of ranting against change. I'm old enough to remember "old people" ranting against computers (paper and pencil is real!), then phones, then internet, then smart phones.
People like to rent. People don't like change. We want privacy but post all the time. We don't want to be tracked, but carry a tracker. We live in a dissonance world.
There is a difference with accepting a "feature" in a product you sign-on to, and having it added behind your back.
On one side, gravatar never talked about feeding your profile to AI when he signed up, and never amended TOS or announced change in that direction (that he received at least).
On the other, the new service he use are upfront about it; though I don't use either service, so no idea on the whole package.
> We live in a world with cognitive dissonance. We have to because if you don't you'd go insane.
Now I feel it's more that we are just way irrational and stupid than we'd like to admit. Accepting our cognitive dissonances would hurt so bad our anthropocentric ego.
When I originally signed up for Bio Link they did not have any AI-anti features. I did not double-check the site before writing that sentence. I will update the article based on this information.
I have vouched a couple (~3-5) benign comments a while back and now I no longer have a vouch button for comments.
I don't know if the vouch threshold has increased or if the mods have removed my ability to vouch for other comments entirely.
Wondering if it was my good faith attempt to inform a user of their comments being auto-flagged [1] before I had any context that they were supposed to be persona non grata.
Your account is fine - nothing changed. Most probably you're just expecting vouch links where there aren't any. (They only show up on posts that are [dead].)
Yes, you're correct. The vouch button doesn't appear when viewing the thread context containing the `[dead]` comment. It only appears when clicking the specific comment directly via its permalink (or comment ID). I may have misremembered being able to vouch with the context to the comment being visible.
very well said, and I have been rooting for the team big time!
if you have an alliance hub for discussions with those also building open infrastructure tooling, please let me know!
have already been in the Mozilla AI discord since last year and had a great time being one of the 2 external participants during the name brainstorming for renaming any-llm ^_^
Project Glasswing is already a thing, and the other labs have started their own initiatives too if they want to collaborate and work on securing closed-source software.
Still not addressed the moral clarity point being brought up, nor the ramifications of the Linux Foundation choosing which closed source projects to focus on and alienating their mission statement.
Again, your idea is noble but why should the Linux Foundation be saddled with it when those other options exist? OSS needs their focus as their mission outlines.
