« The problem with grabbing small snippets of code is a lot of context is lost.» does not mean that a lot of additional code is required to understand the context, additionally, simple code may require you to read a bit of code to understand it.

Simplicity does not mean small scale, nor that it must be understood at a glance.

Rich Hickey got a great presentation where he discuss simplicity vs complexity. It’s worth a watch if you want to better understand the concepts.

Simple != few lines of code, nothing incompatible about those two statements

Though to be fair, I think the study would yield similar results to pretty much every country.

Assume you’re saving X amount of money each month for your retirement.

Your options for storing that money is either:

1. In cash which will “lessen” in value as time goes by due to inflation
2. In a savings account with middling interest rate
3. Or you could invest in the stock market which will typically offer better return.

Assuming you go for option 3, would you choose to invest in a company with zero growth meaning your retirement fund won’t grow, or would you choose a company that is constantly growing?

Nobody would choose to invest in a company with zero growth or which doesn’t return money back in the form of dividends.

You’re objectively better off investing in companies that grow since those are the companies that will grow your investment.

How can it be profitable? Surely the energy cost would surpass that value of a single search?

Neither options will solve the problem though

Huh, I missed that when skimming through the post and source code

I am considering implementing my own ActivityPub server to remove the dependency on a Lemmy server to get votes,

I saw that part and misunderstood it as if he didn’t run an instance.
Thanks for pointing it out!

Honestly surprised you’re able to get lemmy votes without an admin account, I thought that data was restricted to instance admins.

I think they limit it to upvotes for normal users

Interesting numbers, it would be great to see how the statistics look for different “categories” of communities. Interaction based communities (c/ask X) and political communities will naturally garner more comments than information communities. E.g. while you may enjoy the content of blogs posted on !godot@programming.dev or !programming@programming.dev, you’re probably less likely to comment than on !asklemmy@lemmy.world or !casualconversation@lemmy.world

Have one really dedicated and passionate person moderate and reach out to people for AMAs.

Considering Russia’s interest in the islands, that might not be all that great of a choice.

It would be nice to have way for admins and mods to make notes on people. E.g. If you are giving someone a warning, you currently need to use an external tool to log the warning.

I’m sure he is just referencing Norway which originally claimed the land before “somehow” Denmark got it, right?

Depends on your instance’s definition. We define it as:

3.6. Vote Manipulation: Attempts to manipulate the voting system is not tolerated including the usage of sock puppet accounts, target voting someone for who they are rather than their content, and mass downvoting posts.

We once banned a few accounts for mass down voting, i.e. their (total downvotes - total upvotes) were over 6 000. One account had downvoted more than 10 000 times in a single community.

At programming.dev “vote manipulation” is against out Code of Conduct and we would send the user a warning to stop. I’m sure your instance has something similar written down.

Can’t say I recommend

The market don’t care what either of us think, investors will do what investors do, speculate.

It’s difficult to take your comment serious when it’s clear that all you’re saying seems to based on ideological reasons rather than real ones.

Besides that, a lot of the value is derived from the market trying to figure out if/what company will develop AGI. Whatever company manages to achieve it will easily become the most valuable company in the world, so people fomo into any AI company that seems promising.
