Ok in what works is Antarctica not a continent???

what about that convinced you it’s nature?

All those boys were raised in a similar culture with similar influences regarding how boys should behave. You don’t have a control group.

What is your argument that that phase of boyhood is nature rather than nurture?

Kids that age are typically emulating their older peers, and things they’ve seen at school, in media, at home, in public, etc. if anything, I think that the behaviour difference we observe between adolescent boys and girls suggests that kids absorb gender roles very early. Even from before they can walk, the typical common toy selection differs greatly; girls get toys that teach them about working with people and caring, but get toys that teach them about manual labour(?!?!). Even if you don’t do that with your children, at school and daycare they’re surrounded by kids who are raised like that.

When my son was a preschooler, he loved to wear dresses, but as he approached school age he would wear them less and less, and completely stopped since he started school. I don’t think he grew out of it and we didn’t tell him to stop, but he learned that lesson from his peers.

All the abilities that set humans apart from other animals are social in nature, humans evolved to help each other (at least in small groups)

I agree with everything you said except that I think too much nurture is attributed to nature. I don’t think it’s human nature, i think this is the nature of our culture. To say it is human nature is, imo, unnecessarily fatalistic.

I did a better job explaining my position in another comment, the problem is one of culture. We live in a culture that pressures people to use AI in this bad way, and pressures the creators of AI to court bad people as customers, and throw away their ethics. If we weren’t in a rat race, I feel like a lot of the problems would go away.

But we live in the culture that we live in, and at some point you simply cannot practically view the technology in isolation.

I think that the problem, in both cases, is culture.

It’s not that either of those are bad, or bad for people; it’s bad for people of this culture or people of this society. It’s how the two intersect that is the problem.

It could be a tool that lifts up the worker or creative, but instead it’s a tool to devalue the creative and extract power and wealth.
It highlights that people with power get a different set of rules and laws than the rest of us, and they’re using that to further entrench and enrich themselves.

I think it kinda depends on the context. If someone is just making a tool for themselves and they slap on MIT or GPL3 just because who cares someone else can have it, then sure. Who cares if it’s trash if the stakes are so low that they’re scraping the ground and the user base is expected to be single digits.

But when you care about the reputation of your project, or if your project requires people trust it, then yeah for sure it’s not appropriate to vibe/slop it.

I have ethical concerns about the realities of how this tech is used, mainly in what it’s doing to the economic and power dynamics in society. But I don’t have a problem with the tech itself. That said, I have to admit that it may not be realistic to separate the tech from its inevitable impact. Now I have become death, the destroyer of worlds, and all that.

My understanding is that that is because Google and Apple want to onboard it to their own home automation platforms, and HomeAssistant just piggybacked on that because it was easier, and it hasn’t been a priority to rewrite it. But this is based on a few old threads I just looked up, I’m not exactly an expert.
I think there was some talk about Bluetooth onboarding, but that’d require the devices to have a Bluetooth radio, which is more expensive that a QR code sticker. Idk if anyone uses it.
Having something like a WEP button would certainly be nice though.

Well that leaves me with mixed feelings.

Thread itself doesn’t need Internet connectivity, but thread seems to almost always be paired with matter, which does (during provisioning).

I like that matter provisioning requires verification of their certificate, but I don’t like that certificates can expire or the certificate authority can shut down. Although maybe that’s all taken care of by the DCL? In which case that’d be fine.

It seems similar in purpose to pangolin, how do they differ?

Can you explain a bit more about the setup?

Like would just using a VPS with pangolin secure tunnel work? Or does it have to be a vpn for some other reason?

Asking because maybe the question really boils down to the VPS provider with the best data transfer rates

If you’re just starting to build out, what about using thread instead of zigbee or zwave?

If you’re getting a VPS I’d generally recommend getting pangolin. It’s basically like cloudflared tunnels, but self hosted (on the vps). It works the same, you use it to map your subdomains to IPs on the other end of the secure tunnel.

It has things like user access controls for each of the subdomains, the ability connect it to an identity provider, rules governing which paths need authentication and which don’t, etc.

It can optionally come preconfigured with crowedsec, but I had problems with it falsely classifying my normal traffic as an attack and banning my IPs.

Just be aware that even if your service has a login page, you first need to log into pangolin to be granted access to the service, and although that’s fine on the web (especially if you’re using an sso), some native apps don’t like the extra login. Homeassistant handles it better now, but I haven’t gotten jellyfin native android app working yet.

I agree except crowedsec. The apps I use were frequently phoning home, causing all my devices to get banned by crowedsec. Setting up rules around it was just too painful so I got rid of it.
Gonna look into if I can set up fail2ban with it instead

An addendum to 4:
We could be one of the first, so life is unusually sparse during this period of time.

The universe is old, but it takes a lot to build up the components needed for life as we know it. The first two generations of stars wouldn’t have created the exotic materials in quantitie we needed to seed a world with the requirements for life.
And life couldn’t have realistically happened much faster in a 3rd generation system than it did in our system.
There are some very old 3rd Gen stars, but it’s less common and iirc they’re not close to us.

Tldr
This is early phases, life is going to get more common over the next few billion years.

Oh get over yourself

Short form is cool because it’s like constrained writing.

Tiktok was pretty great while it was just silly videos.\ But it’s not short form anymore so it’s full of political essays and propaganda.

I kinda hope that loops is more like vine than tiktok or vertical YouTube. But it’ll probably be up to the instance to govern video length.

Is it for downloading illegal content? i can’t tell

I assume some of it is related to torrenting, but I can’t tell which ones and how much. They can’t all be for torrenting, right???

Store a lot of things you never access

Hope that helps 😌

Ikr like… Give me a docker compose file and tell me what env vars need to be set to what. Why is it so complicated?
