What happens to mathematics when #AI becomes an oracle? - https://arstechnica.com/science/2026/11/what-happens-to-mathematics-when-ai-becames-an-oracle/ "Wolfram, I think, is demonstrably right that many computer simulations are computationally irreducible, but nature might not be."

reddit got bad because spez (the reddit admin) restricted API access to the platform for third-party apps, such that people would be forced to use the official app or web UI, both of which display advertisement and collect user data (e.g. scroll behavior).

the reason why this happened is because reddit is a for-profit company and tries to extract money out of the userbase, at the expense of the users.

another example of a bad decision that reddit made was to push a lot of ragebait (“Am I The Asshole?”) because company shareholders want to see “engagement numbers” go up, and if somebody writes an angry reply to a post, that’s “engagement”. but it makes you angry at the stupidity of the “Asshole”, so it makes your day worse. that is another example how reddit makes money at the expense of the users.

size (number of monthly active users) is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.

we should probably get rid of the “don’t make lemmy grow, it will ruin the platform if we grow” idea.

Madness ("mental illness", in the dominant psy paradigm) remains hugely stigmatized, and it can be especially risky to be open about one's experiences with madness in the field of mental health and in the STEM fields more broadly. Madness is anti-reason, and we're supposed to be hyper-rational.

@johnhattan so So I do have a goal in life after all 😉 Death to the Hindu Keynesians!!!

RIP Prof. Linehan. DBT is amazing; it probably saved my life when I was in grad school.

While @cdelawalla.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy is right to point out the importance of Linehan's lived experience, we must also reckon with her hiding her lived experience, disclosing her madness only very late in life.

Everyone wants to see the stars. Astrotourism is booming! Stargazing is a way to connect with our ancestors. There are well-documented, peer-reviewed health benefits to experiencing awe: reducing anxiety and stress, and one of the most reliable ways to experience awe is by looking at unpolluted night sky.

Light pollution is unwanted light: not being actively used, too much, poorly aimed.

@TheBreadmonkey Imagine Bowser from Mario with a Gallagher brothers/Frida Kahlo unibrow. Browser.

Looking for a new role. 20 years experience as a T-shaped generalist software engineer. Significant experience with distributed systems, database design, backend architecture, but comfortable all over. Mainly Go for the last few years, but these days does language matter? Enjoy working closely with customers & have led teams before. Ideally looking beyond "just" software - I know my way around CAD (onshape, librecad), KiCAD etc. Have worked biotech before.

Boosts appreciated.

Why are Britain’s streets still so polluted? Because the car industry dinosaurs do what they like, and politicians let them - https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/nov/11/britain-streets-polluted-car-industry-electric-vehicles-transition "The transition to electric vehicles should be moving apace, but it is not. And why? Incompetence, expedience and cowardice" #EVs

@manyfold I'd suggest talking with Snapmaker. They're very comfortable with hacker culture and encourage & support it, and iirc, they were looking at ways to boost open model repos rather than build a walled garden...

@tuxedocomputers wie wurden diese miniteppiche hergestellt?
