How about a federated system for sharing “known safe” image attestations? That way, the trust list is something managed locally by each participating instance.

Edit: thinking about it some more, a federated image classification system would allow some instances to be more strict than others.

Wow. GitOps sounds like having all the advantages of git (namely that you can figure out exactly who made a mistake and when it was made) together with all the advantages of testing in production (namely that you find out something has gone wrong really fast).

The compiler itself is a lot older than 2006

From reading the scientific publication I gather that they use the DSM criteria for depression.

Where does it say that? I'm not seeing that mentioned anywhere.

If not social media, then what? My bet is on climate change.

Admin of derp.foo here. My best guess is Hetzner gave me an IP that had been used to host a botnet C&C before. As a precaution I switched to a new VPS; please contact me via matrix at @irdc:tchncs.de if the problem persists.

That’s true. The real question isn’t what they knew, but what they did with it. And the answer is that they lied.

I dunno, but they're all future billionaires.

As far as I can tell, the DSA for now only applies to the 17 designated very large online platforms and 2 designated very large online search engines; the rest of the act goes into effect on 2024-02-17. See here for a timeline.

Blatant speculation that references the books and may spoil the ending of the seasonAbout ending imperial cloning: I don’t think brother Day, or even any Cleonic exponent, can do so.

As Demerzel says, she is loyal to Empire. Right now, that means being loyal to Cleon XVII. Thus she follows his wishes of arranging a marriage and letting him procreate. However, as the memory of Cleon I mentioned to XVI and XVIII back in S02E05, the temperament of XVII had already been accounted for. Therefore I think that when XVII hits 60, the age at which he becomes brother Dusk, Demerzel’s loyalty will automatically shift to XVIII; she is likely programmed to do so.

So all this trying to end genetic cloning is going to result in is demonstrating to Empire that even he cannot end it. And that is exactly what Hari Seldon wanted when he called upon Empire to (try to) end imperial cloning.

This fits in nicely with the overarching theme of psychohistory (and indeed with the theme of Bel Riose in the books): there’s no such thing as a Great Man, no-one is special and outcomes are for the most part fixed and can be known through some fancy math.
