You can always reply to my posts safely; I almost never take contrary replies as hostile, even in politics. Most non-trolls are sincerely struggling to operate in good faith.

Now I'm on a whole Neo-Vedanta rabbit hole I love learning about this stuff! Religions are so internally complex. They're political movements responding to the material and spiritual conditions of the day.
Seeing how Hinduism has changed over thousands of years, responding to from Indo-Iranian origins to Brahminism, the Sramana movement (Buddhism and Jainism), Islam, European colonialism, and post-independence is a comprehensive transect of South Asian history.
This was such a pretty, moody sunset sky after the rain had stopped and the sun peeked through before setting. No two sunsets are ever alike and I love the purples and blues in this unique sky. The cloud reflections in the bay waters made the scene twice as nice.

This is a *huge* case for anyone with even a passing interest in #decentralized governance, #DAO or #crypto-related issues. Heck even federal civil procedure. #law
The crux was whether a plaintiff in federal court could satisfy due process by serving a complaint upon an anonymous class of defendants via a notice using a chat bot (which is what the CFTC did).
Looks like the judge told the CFTC to serve one of the known founders but now it’s up for a notice of default.

It's long but Exec Summary at the start is a general overview for people who have casual interest in the topic.
If you study language models or do AI research and want to learn about IO, see section 2
If you study IO/disinfo and want to learn more about LLMs, section 3 is for you.
Choose your own adventure, etc. Would love to hear people's reactions. Thanks for reading. 🙏
"but the GPL disallows that sort of thing!"
right! and the OGL did too! very explicitly, it stated that they could not retroactively revoke that old license, and that you could simply use the old "open source" version if you wanted to
but again, infinite money and infinite lawyers
so just imagine if the GPL could simply be overridden by that, unilaterally, and the kind of devastation that would cause to open source as a whole
that's the position not just D&D, but all of TTRPG is in right now
