A lot of UI exists because software can’t understand what you want. Menus, settings screens, dashboards, filters: much of it is a human-accessible API to a dumb machine. Smart machines need much less UI.

Artificial intelligence has unleashed a torrent of cheating on campus and created chaos in the job application process, as both students and employers use large language models: the former, to write hundreds of AI-assisted applications; the latter, to screen those AI-written applications with AI-written filters, thus removing from the process of finding a first job those procedural frictions sometimes known as "people."

But passing an automatic filter is not a substitute for community acceptance; I do not believe that human referees can be removed from the publication process.

Explicit signals like follows and subscriptions are as brittle and hard to maintain as manually tuned filter rules.Their words
Following and subscribing are heavyweight signals, and thus suffer from the same problem of manually tuning rules and filters.

I wish Tensor the best, but I think this is going to be a hard sell.

because our computers are designed to be operated by other people, anyone who's an operator could buy our systems. Most of these homebuilt systems you have to be your own operator because it was never designed to be flexible enough for other people to operate.

LifeStraw is an awesome brand that sells bottles with built in water filters. The filters last 5 years so you save money on changing them too.

Install HVAC filters, and/or get a standalone air purifier, e.g. I got the Dyson Big+Quiet because it's quite good, HEPA grade and doubles as a cool looking alien artifact in your room, but for the top top performance I'd get IQAir GC MultiGas XE

A platform operator can effortlessly change the distribution of surpluses in an instant, while suppliers and customers have to engage in minute, time-consuming and unreliable Platform Kremlinology just to detect these changes, much less understand them.

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.
About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
