If you have a well stocked pantry, you can make whatever you want.

While they’re at it, could they please also penalize Android app developers who do this too?

It’s not too late.

I understand your concerns and I have as little confidence in the concept of crypto as it currently exists as you’re expressing.

I had no intention to peg a user’s CPU, but if we extend the concept of CPU cycles for content, perhaps a browser could process some data or make calculations, like say data analytics, or some other distributed process that would benefit the author and in doing so would allow both to have a win-win experience.

Wasn’t that a quote from the most recent episode of The Pitt, just after Dr. J was discovered sitting on a bed making a video?

Can you elaborate why you think that your comment requires a sarcasm tag?

I’m asking because getting the reader to contribute some CPU cycles whilst they read your content seems to be a way to balance the books, they get something from you, you get something from them.

Note that I’m not a fan of Bitcoin et. al., but the idea of making the reader’s computer calculate something or process something on the authors’ behalf seems, at least at first glance, a valid and potentially unobtrusive transaction.

As a creator, I’d be much more interested in a way to get paid into my actual bank account in such a way that didn’t involve Bitcoin (et. al.), PayPal or Stripe.

So … not made from potato then?

The impact to society from space exploration is immense if not immeasurable.

NASA has a website dedicated to the topic, as do other agencies around the world.

CVE: Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures

So, why is this being disclosed here and not a CVE reported to Apple?

While contemplating that, my Mac has been up for longer than that and it’s working fine.

The Mac I had before that was up for years, also fine.

So … what is this really about?

They are deterministic but complex to determine.

The Assumed Intelligence systems I’m familiar with have a “random” element, but it’s unclear where that source of randomness comes from. Is it using a computational random source, or something like the lava lamp wall at Cloudflare, which is significantly more random, potentially actually random.

That’s not why I made my comment.

I was being serious. For example, the search facilities on the fediverse are rudimentary at best. Finding a post of yours, even if you remember enough of it, is far from trivial. Hosting the content for that reason alone would make a better user experience.

Another consideration is a concept of signal to noise. How much of your contribution to the fediverse would be this data stream, and how much would be other content, like comments and unrelated posts?

Then there’s the resource aspect. Your feed would propagate throughout the fediverse and consume potentially exponentially more resources than a website would and we’d be paying for it, rather than you.

That’s some of the reasons why I made my suggestion.

How about publishing them on a website and making a single post about it here?

Unfortunately the complete article is not available, which is yet another issue exacerbated by the Assumed Intelligence cohort.

While I understand your point, deterministic with a billion variables is beyond human ability to process, let alone the multi-billion parameter models in general circulation today.

At what point does deterministic descend into random?

Assumed Intelligence is a solution for a bunch of multivariate problems, like say “the travelling salesman”, but it’s not intelligence nor in my opinion is it effectively “deterministic”.

Just added the link.

I’m not sure if we’re talking about the same thing. One of the recent leaks had code that pretended to be a developer, so you could pick if it submitted a PR as Assumed Intelligence, or as a person.

I’ll see if I can find a reference.

Hold on, wasn’t one of the “features” of the “leaked” Assumed Intelligence source code the “human”-like version?
