I read the new EU Court ruling on algorithms and social platforms so you don't have to.
Turns out to be the most consequential thing a European court has said about recommendation algorithms, and also it just breaks when you apply it to the atmosphere

imo core problem for europe is the command structure: federal solutions are too slow and cant deal with hybrid attacks, centralised solutions are politically impossible
so decision-making capability was outsourced to US because europe is gridlocked on the political side of control

turns out, when elon musk posts "imprison the government," it doesn't matter much. but thousands of accounts repeating each other does
so if permission for violence was never really coming from the owner, what happens on a network that has no owner at all?

that bureaucrats think AI can replace all jobs makes a lot more sense once you realise the same people also think hitting the 'create account' button is a task so big that you need to put it in a grand strategy plan of how an entire continent can become sovereign

the even more fun problem is, that because NL Wallet uses remote app attestation, it checks Googles servers for verification every time you use the app, meaning that Google holds a kill switch for our national ID wallet

longterm id like this, but preferably not before the moderation ecosystem has matured more and there are more fully independent moderation services
risk is in longform writing having to confirm to bsky moderation standards

its so fascinating to me that model performance can fluctuate so strongly on a day-to-day basis. Why is claude actually performing significantly worse right now?
does anyone have a good writeup of why exactly this happens? like, more than just 'overcapacity'?

From Bluesky’s work on permissions data, to adding e2ee to activitypub, there are a lot of projects working on private data, converging towards something that’s roughly Matrix-shaped.
But the dynamics underneath turned out to be stranger than I thought

its very funny to read 'drive your plow over the bones of the dead' or 'primeval and other times' and came away with the conclusion that ideological conformity is of the utmost importance

I had the idea a while ago that I wanted to read some pulp fiction, as in not the movie but the low brow magazines from early 20th century the movie is named after. But couldn’t find some good digital sources for that, anyone has any suggestions? The pulpier the better
