  • Will you be able to make it available on D&D Beyond like MCDM did with his recent releases?

    It’s really nice to be able to have everything in D&D Beyond since there are so many extensions, tools, etc. integrated with it. For example, anything in D&D Beyond just works with Beyond 20, Discord, Owlbear Rodeo, Roll 20, and can be imported into Foundry VTT or Obsidian. That really makes prep easier as a DM and simplifies things for the players as well.






  • As a federated learning researcher, I love to see articles introducing the public to the idea. But this article is really drawing a comparison between the fediverse and federated learning that doesn’t make sense (to me).

    Beyond the fact that data and compute are stored on separate servers, they really aren’t similar. Federated learning avoids sharing data by sharing gradients or model updates with a central aggregator; raw data does not leave your device. The fediverse enables easy sharing of data between servers and avoids a central server.

    Additionally, this article makes it seem like medical researchers were inspired by the fediverse, but the FedAvg paper was released in 2016—two years before ActivityPub was introduced in 2018.
