And sometimes those beavers are on PornHub.

I guess it would be nice if you supplanted that by economic policy, wouldn’t it.

How would they spread anti-Israel hatred by recording security procedures, if the security procedures are above board? I really don’t understand Israel’s officials anymore. Surely they are aware how shit like this looks outside of Israel. Are they just high on their own hasbara supply?

Yeah, I’m using Meridian in Ontario. While credit unions in Ontario are regulated as nonprofits, I’d still say it’s probably better if Bank of Canada provided a public chequing account and payment processing since it’ll still lower the base cost of participating in the payment system for everyone.

Yea. Funding fediverse apps and launching official national / continental instances would go a long way and perhaps get there the fastest.

Cool. I’m not offended by that. 28th member sounds respecta. 51st state, not so much. 😂

Would be spectacular if they make an alternative that does not rely on commercial banks so that having a for-profit bank account isn’t required to be able to pay for things electronically. Just like you don’t need that with cash. This is something central banks can provide to the citizens of their country. If commercial banks want people’s money, they better give an incentive. Currently they get it just so people can access the electronic payment systems.

But if course that’s unlikely because commercial banks won’t just let themselves be cut out of the sweet deal they got now.

AI can absolutely increase productivity in manufacturing. Not the generative AI bullshit, but computer vision for any processes that require visual inspection, AI models for some optimization problems like optimally packing hardware IPs on a silicon die, and so on. Specific tasks that can be solved by purpose-built models.

If AI software, hardware and developers are abundant enough, you’d see a lot of integration done by factories all over the place. It seems like China is trying to create this abundance.

Moderation, voting, there are options. My point is whatever the version is of a community or a thread on Lemmy on its host instance, nearly the same the version is on another Lemmy instance that federates with most of the same instances. If we consider just 2 instances federating with each other, and users have no blocklists, and all federation updates are perfectly transferred (no networking issues), then a community in one instance would look identical on the other. So would a thread. After moderation actions and all.

What you’re observing are different communities and different threads. The same community lemmy.world/c/news is roughly the same across most instances. A specific thread in some community in lemmy.ca is roughly the same when viewed from most instances. I imagine a wiki page would function like a thread in Lemmy. Any instance federating with most instances would see roughly the same version of the wiki page as the originating instance.

Hm, that’s not how Lemmy communities / threads tend to develop. Unless you’re considering the effects of defederation I guess.

Yeah it seems like China’s action produced a larger selloff. Perhaps people weren’t as certain of the size of their response.

This would be a good time for China to throw some company exec in jail.

I suspect that the US’es China-bad propaganda is going to be cracking fast over the next little while as a result of the economic realignment forced by the clown car team. Especially outside of the US.

You can’t push out something your socioeconomic system creates.

That’s nice info, thanks! Do you know why the db difference?

Yeah, that makes sense for the defect class of performance problems. I’m more concerned with the inherent performance (compute) disadvantages of Python. Perhaps they wouldn’t matter, hard to know without load testing.

I didn’t downvote.

Yeah, this would be my concern as well if I had to run it. Sure Python apps can be fast and most time is spent in IO, not compute, and if you’re running a profitable operation the exact cost of compute might not matter much. However if you’re running a non-profit service and you want it to be as dirt cheap as possible so it can be free for most users, then the cost of compute very much does matter.

Sure but does the rate of growth matter? The post asks about recommending Piefed instead of Lemmy. I presume the point is that the number of Piefed users would grow if we did that. So whether a thread produces 10, 1000, or 10000 users in a day, the number of users would grow over time. Then I think the question remains, if my Piefed instance costs $10/mo to run today, would it cost $100 with 10000 users or $1000, or more, or less?
