    Today I am thankful, after about 12 hours of amazing screwing around with random patches and attempts to solve problems using untested future updates, for #guix's rollback capablities.

    proof that the #rationalists are either time-travellers, or constantly duelling immortals like in Highlander: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/DtcbfwSrcewFubjxp/the-rationalists-of-the-1950s-and-before-also-called

    1. The Rationalists of the 1950s (and before) also called themselves “Rationalists” - LessWrong
      TLDR * There’s an organization based in London called the Rationalist Association. It was founded in 1885. Historically, it focused on publishing books and articles related to atheism and science, including works by Darwin, Bertrand Russell, J. B. S. Haldane, George Bernard Shaw, H. G. Wells, and Karl Popper. * The topics covered overlap with the present-day rationalist movement (centered on Lesswrong). They include religion and atheism, philosophy (especially philosophy of science and ethics), evolution, and psychology. * According to Wikipedia, membership of the Rationalist Association peaked in 1959 with more than 5000 members and with Bertrand Russell as President. * This post displays some covers of Rationalist Association publications, and links to full-text articles and other resources. * Prior to reading this biography, I hadn't heard of these earlier rationalists. So I did some quick and shallow research. I’d be curious to know more about this history. It might be worth adding a note to this LW Wiki entry. PAST COVERS OF THE RATIONALIST ASSOCIATION PUBLICATIONS 1896 COVER * This is a journal for short articles called the “Agnostic Annual” (later “Rationalist Annual”). The full text is here. * Some quotes from the article “Mind as controlled by matter” below. 1938 COVER Includes articles by Bertrand Russell and evolutionary biologist and proto-transhumanist J. B. S. Haldane. 1954 COVER 1971 COVER * This is for a magazine called The Humanist, published by the Rationalist Association. It has since published articles by Richard Dawkins and Daniel Dennett. * Contents: “Rationalist Tasks”, “Motoring Safety”, “Quasi-rational Quarrelling” and the first appearance of the famous Philip Larkin poem that begins “They fuck you up, your mum and dad”. LINKS AND FULL-TEXT 1. Full-text articles from the Rationalist Annual by the prolific biologist, popular science writer and communist, J. B. S. Haldane. Some

    @civodul i think it’s worth looking at how Google responded to that order (with an apparent commitment of $10B): less because I think their approach is better or even valid, but because that position is what we will be swimming in for the next few years https://blog.google/technology/safety-security/why-were-committing-10-billion-to-advance-cybersecurity/

    @ekaitz_zarraga @emacsen i was going to get cranky because of that old trope about people online randomly making health suggestions to sick people but in fact I’ve been meaning to get a SIBO test for a while and just failed to do it, so TY for prompting me!

    Hey if you have #IBS and you’re feeling pretty shitty right now (as it is known in the secret language of your fellow sufferers) —- welp now there’s two of us!

    not going to make a tumblr out of this predicament or anything but hey *clinks low-fodmap glass, gives the single-fingered IBS salute* solidarity!

    Npm is on #ipfs now, mirrored and kept up to date.

    LibP2P is doing better -- better memory usage, better relaying, new transports, bigger dev community.

    (This is a lightning talks, btw)

    You can run libp2p as a daemon now, so one networking stack can serve multiple apps.

    Lot of effort going into detecting NATs -- AutoNAT, and deciding what to do based on the situation. Any computer should be able to connect to any other computer, without an intermediary.

    i talk to everybody and am overly charitable | currently like: people's polling, evaluating economies of scale, autonomy not ownership | work at EFF, I rarely speak for EFF here and signal when I do.
