One of my least favorite facts of life is that when people take advantage of you they avoid guilt and reciprocation by demonizing you, and in an attempt to make the demonization feel real, they treat you like absolute crap; "we all wouldn't hate and attack this person unless they were really bad and so it doesn't matter that we take advantage of them because it's part of our defense against this bad actor."

this is but a truth even I realized late in life (different circumstances but anyway) reminds me of the stanford prison experiment.
i'll just say kindness makes you a threat to those who weaponize guilt, because your decency highlights their deficit. but then again the truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it. even if they demonize you, your truth remains. keep walking. let their hate exhaust itself in your absence. don't let yourself be engrossed by what others feel (unless it's your SN fam) else what will we do if we get a depressed k00b 🥶

@optimism I saw you have made some good projects with Python. I specially love the fast-agent (a CNN I suppose) Would you mind working with me on this project called TiresiasIQ It's a BDD projects that aims at predicting the possibility of a human action in the future based on a database fed to it. I would like some input in case you have an idea of feedforward, recurrent and LSTM neural networks

Hey. I didn't make fast agent I just use it (for now) in experimental setups because it was the first MCP agent client I came across.
I'm currently not soliciting more FOSS work, but I'll open source anything eventually. I think I saw you're piping spaCy in your repo - that's interesting - so I'll have a go some time in the near future.

@kr, I have a request for your series of “_____ doesn’t have to be ugly” posts.
I’d love to read one about bridges.
So many modern bridges are both ugly and provide poor views to those using them.

“The ego says, ‘I shouldn’t have to suffer,’ and that thought makes you suffer so much more. It is a distortion of the truth, which is always paradoxical. The truth is that you need to say “yes” to suffering before you can transcend it.” ― Eckhart Tolle

I'm curious about whether we'll be getting any news on territory developments anytime soon? I think I remember reading a few months back that added functionality was on the way?

We are working on the ability to allow territory founders to host their territory on their own domain, e.g. forum.siggy.com. We ran into a bit of a roadblock, which we think we can route around in a novel way.
All three of us me, ek, sox are working on these hard, deep things right now. Most of them are nearing completion, and we should be able to you all the dividends of that work shortly after.

I haven't been following these developments closely, but I'm curious how that would work. Would it just make forum.siggy.com point to stacker.news/~BooksAndArticles? Would there be any added functionality or customization for the territory owners?
reply

Yes it would point to the territory on SN (basically an alias) and be customizable (some customizations will, in time, also apply whether a territory has a custom domain or not … the goal is relatively extreme customizations given enough time - not just aesthetics, but custom post types and custom economics).
Basically, this domain thing allows white labeled, SN forums to exist on other properties (kind of like how substack lets authors have their own domains).

That sounds pretty cool. Come to think of it, I know a lot of sites use third party comments-section backends, like Giscus, and that seems like a natural fit for SN too

Yeah, this was @kr's idea. How do we give folks with existing communities sybil resistant forums?

I love rainy days. My daughter is clinging on tightly to me, much like a baby koala. She must be scared stiff of the pouring rain and rumbling thunder. I can look forward to reaching home earlier than usual because she won’t run away from me like a supercharged Energiser bunny!
