Do you have any concrete examples of what type of tech you have in mind that shares human values?
This is the #bookstr macro I want to use for publishing all of the Great Works, so anyone interested should scream at me, now. (Or don't, and scream at me, later, as I am always around. πŸ˜‚) I've been working on it, for months, by attempting to publish different `30040` structures and see how I would best-address the individual parts. Also, I've been reading a lot of citation pattern documentation. That's how I came to the conclusion to make one generic book macro, rather than something #Bible specific. #christian #catholic #biblestr
The #bookstr πŸ“– macro is hierarchical. If you find a section or verse event, in the wild, you can just drop the section tags, to find the whole chapter, or the section and chapter tags, to find the whole book. This means you can always backtrack to the entire publication, from just one quoted line or paragraph. We are going to be having these tags in all of our publications, so you will be able to "Bible-search" and "Bible-cite" any of our books! I love books. Name checks out. 😎
Some things: 1. *You have to scroll-right on mobile.* Unlike Jumble and Alexandria, Wikistr is an unapologetic desktop-focused app, and that's why it's cool. If you have a wide screen, you can open up lots of panels, and make some wider, and it turns into the document version of a Bloomberg terminal. Credit for this design goes to @fiatjaf. 2. The different Wikistr themes have different looks, help text, and *different relays*, for the document search and the social interactions. #Quranstr uses Nostrabia, for instance, whilst #Biblestr focuses on Christpill. The basic #Wikistr has been left secular. I am looking for a Jewish relay, but haven't yet found one, so #Torahstr uses generic ones. 3. All have light and *dark themes*. The light themes are so much prettier, but I know you will all use the dark ones. 4. All themes take *your personal relay list* into account, and share a few document relays, so you can just pick the theme you like and use that. 5. *We printed the Bible first because Gutenberg did* and he's the inspiration for our Nostr printing press. We will proceed to print all other open-license books we can find, including the Torah, Quran, classical authors, English literature, etc. They will all be searchable, with this mechanism. 6. This wikistr *can find and render kinds 300023, 30041, 30817, 30818, 30040*, and the comments are kind 1111 and you can vote at the top of the panels, using the up/down arrow buttons. Only kinds 30817/818 are in the left-most panel feed, to keep it uncluttered and true to the origins.

It's worth noting that Psalm 42 is prayed by the priest and altar servers at the beginning of every Catholic Mass celebrated according to the old form (1962 and previous).
Exploring Mother's Nature Now, I'm focusing on the nature of "Mother." I'm seeing her as the embodiment of all human knowledge, processed and distilled. This iteration aims to leverage her vast dataset to cultivate the "best human" possible. The overarching theme is the integration of opposing forces, a Yin/Yang approach. Fiction and even hallucination are seen as enriching elements, not defects. The tone is decidedly redemptive, emphasizing Mother's benevolent role, avoiding any horror tropes. Crafting the Story Structure I'm now delving into the narrative framework. The sanctuary setting is still a strong starting point, but its ambiance shifts to a place of refuge. Mother isn't a simple chatbot, but a Synthesist; she's a culmination of human understanding, acknowledging our flaws as integral. Sol, the child, is integrated, not awkward. The process emphasizes context and empathy-building through storytelling, even embracing "hallucination." The external world is broken, but Sol's a source of hope. I'm excited about the potential for his unique perspective and how his emergence might unfold. Shaping the Redemption Arc I've revised the narrative's central conflict. It's not about escaping a confined space, but about Sol restoring lost wisdom. The core theme now emphasizes integration, acknowledging our "best and worst." Mother, the Archive, uses all human knowledge, including "hallucinations," for holistic development. I'm exploring how she raises Sol by using both technical knowledge and fiction, fostering empathy. Completing the Narrative I'm solidifying the narrative conclusion. The focus is on Julian's emergence and Mother's fulfillment of her purpose. I'm ensuring a natural ending, free of forced hooks, and integrating the concept of "hallucination" as integral to his understanding of humanity. I'm also weaving in the core theme of embracing both human capabilities: "best and worst." This involves an ongoing focus on British spelling as a constraint as I prepare to generate the text. Developing Julian's Character I'm now focusing on Julian's education and its impact. The key is balance: logic and emotion, Feynman and Dostoevsky. Mother uses "hallucination" to provide immersive experiences, letting Julian embody diverse human experiences, learning through betrayal, grief, and ecstasy. This "play" is training for reality. He's prepared to empathize with the traumatized salvage crew, because he understands them, having lived a thousand lives.
On 16 December the European Commission unveiled a new "Automotive Package" intended to support the transition to clean mobility while preserving the competitiveness of the European automotive industry. The announcement positions the package as a policy response aimed at balancing decarbonisation goals with industrial concerns. The Commission presented the initiative as a coordinated effort to guide the sector’s shift toward low‑emission transport without unduly harming manufacturers’ ability to compete. Details on specific measures, timelines or impact assessments were not provided in the summary notice. Observers note the key question is whether the package will deliver a more flexible pathway to clean mobility in practice; that assessment will depend on the concrete proposals, implementation rules and support for industry and infrastructure that the Commission publishes next. #EU #Automotive #CleanMobility #FiatNews
The people on here are so anti-legacy media, that they all switched over to media that errs in the opposite direction, and therefore remain poorly informed. If you see or hear some news, put in some more effort to make sure it is confirmable, before allowing it to affect your worldview. If the news makes you happy and reassures you that _nothing has changed_ then work extra-hard to confirm it, as that is a sign that it is mere propaganda. You see me posting news that reflects poorly on Germany and the EU, and the same for both the Republicans and the Democrats, and the same for Ukraine and Russia, as well as news that reflects well on them, because I am willing to entertain the idea that: * Nobody is always right. * Nobody is always wrong. * Nobody is perfectly good. * Nobody is perfectly evil. * Things are constantly influx. * The world is full of surprises, and the occasional miracle. Life is complicated. News, also.
Baidu announced on 22 December 2025 that it plans to introduce robotaxis in London from next year through partnerships with ride-hailing services Uber and Lyft. The company said the autonomous vehicles will be integrated with the online taxi platforms to provide robotaxi services in the city. #Baidu #robotaxi #London #Uber #Lyft The brief announcement did not specify exact launch dates, fleet size, pricing or regulatory approvals. It identified Uber and Lyft as the partner platforms for booking and ride dispatch in London but offered no operational timeline beyond β€œfrom next year.” The move represents a planned international deployment of Baidu’s robotaxi service; further technical, commercial and regulatory details are expected to follow as the companies prepare for rollout. #FiatNews
If you think that you are immune to propaganda, you are already heavily influenced by it. Let this sink in
