I'm the author of the top answer, and I believe that this is the top-voted thing that I ever posted on any StackExchange site. It was a lovely surprise to see it here today, and I hope that everyone else enjoyed reading it. Merry Christmas!


Every few weeks or so the last decade, someone has upvoted the question. Always interesting to see the difference between this question and essentially everything else I've ever written.

Thanks for the answer btw, it was enlightening. I can't help but remember the first lines in my mind each time I get the upvote notification ("Drumroll... !").


Katastropheas dedomenon

Means, I think, "given over to overthrows".


google translate gives a different translation: data shredder or data destructor

Dedomenon meant given in the Biblical past, and data now. ("Take is as given", in a logical/mathematical sense).

For a database integrity scientist, "data destroyer" makes sense.


Ha! Well, that's what I get for having studied Classical Greek in school but not Modern Greek.


Didn't even notice that. I would change it now, but we're outside the edit window.


Funny, looking at those pictures greatly reduced my interest in the genre of body-painting, if that's what world champions look like. They certainly have technical expertise, but nonetheless to my eye they are both ugly and off-putting by the ubiquity of their political subtext. And it's not even politics that I necessarily disagree with! But political cartoons are not improved if you paint them on a human body.


(author of the essay here) I agree bodypainting can be garish (one of the reasons I no longer do it!), but the reason all those pieces were political is that every year the championships have a theme and that competition on that day the theme was literally 'propaganda'--so that was the theme the artists had to work with. Other years the theme is very different--I competed in years where the themes were rebirth, evolution, sources of power, transformation etc--idk I can't remember exactly, but they were generally set months in advance.


A lot of cliché and propaganda.

We are in the end of a destruction phase, the left, progressive are about change and destruction of order and renewal but they now have monopoly over almost everything.

The next step is the rediscovery of order, tradition, beauty, natural laws, religion.

The artists are at the tip of the process, we will start to see more and more flip back.

Have you seen this: https://youtu.be/j800SVeiS5I


Sorry, but that video is also bad. The whole point is that not everything needs to be a campaign ad.

(Additionally, the video is twice as long as it needs to be. By minute 4 I was bored and scrubbed ahead to see if he was going to do something other than beat the dead horse some more. The turn into the antithesis finally happens around minute 10, at least 5 minutes after it should have been over.)


I think that typescript meets all 5 of the items in your first list.


Except fast compile times unfortunately.


> You repost good stuff, so a link can travel several hops to someone, but it must have been filtered through a friend.

This is exactly how Tumblr works, and is a big part of why Tumblr is actually a great social network for the people who have stuck it out there.


I tried Tumblr, and it felt like a way better version of Twitter. Had me follow some trending accounts for a few topics. Then I get three feeds, default being those I follow, others being the algo or my tags. I can like, share, or repost stuff. The UI is clean, it doesn't lag my laptop, and signup took me about 1/3 the time vs signing up for Twitter.

So the social difference from Twitter is they kept the chrono following-only feed? It's nice but not what I envisioned for Recents. I wanted to avoid any kind of global "trending" aspect and focus all interaction on reposts. I'm probably reinventing a wheel somewhere, but not one that I've seen.


Can't wait for ActivityPub support so I can control the UX better with a different client.

Come to think of it, this what User Agents were supposed to be, but we just added a few more layers on top (for that sweet sweet ad revenue juice), and now are stripping some of it with the likes of Mastodon.


Tumblr was very close to the perfect social media network. It's a shame it succumbed to corporate greed after the Yahoo acquisition. I really hope someone manages to recreate it as a decentralized protocol


It's no longer owned by Yahoo! but by Automattic (WordPress) now. As for decentralized, they've posted recently about their intent to support ActivityPub.


The problem is not about the broadcast capabilities, they already support RSS.

The problem is about their content censoring. I don't reckon Automattic reversed the "sexually explicit" purge initiated by Yahoo. I'm not interested in a social network that censors ~30% [1] of the global art production. For now Twitter is the better place for relatively free content sharing.

[1]: Number pulled out of my hat, but the human nude being the most popular drawing subject ever, I wouldn't be surprised if this is close to reality.


Yes, mostly.

Though I'm a bit curious what the links are, since I have been using their repo for a few months and don't recall ever seeing a link to actual porn. There was an external site that had a bunch of generated anime girls with the expected anatomical proportions.


What GP means is that ChatGPT output is generally not similar enough to any _particular_ source document to establish the fact that it's derivative. Instead, it resembles what you'd get if you asked a (credulous and slightly dumb) human to read a selection of documents and then summarize them. These kinds of summaries are absolutely not copyright violations, even if the source document can actually be identified.


> ChatGPT output is generally not similar enough to any _particular_ source document to establish the fact that it's derivative.

Isn't this exactly what a court case would be trying to clarify? If so wouldn't assuming this be begging the question?


Strongly agree. I could see a "hard mode" in which you only get the audio, but I consider the clever use of all available clues (text, video content, appearance of performer) to be part of the game.
