The switch away from a big, centralised "AI" oligopoly is already happening. The tools and rules to exchange small, domain-specific "AI" models, extending them without needing a full training run in the Open Source Way are coming along nicely. Good. 1/6
@jwildeboer I see this a lot in enterprise businesses. They want fast and accurate with zero risk that their data is fed back into a big model in a way that could expose their proprietary data or customer data.
Small, local, domain specific models make sense for that.
@mapache but funding to non-profits comes with expectations that you will do specific things with it. And the people on your board to a lot to make introductions to people with money that are willing to donate, but also frames who you are introduced to, what interests they have and what conditions they place on the money they give you.
Much of what is said here about agile could equally be said of devops, a term that's been drained of whatever blood was pumping through it to the point that it functionally doesn't mean anything anymore.
No one should forget that the Iranians have learned and refined the drone launch strategy by selling drones and advising the Russians in the deployment of drones in #Ukraine.
The cost of the drones used in the attack is infinitely cheaper than the jets and air defense systems that are required to shoot them down.
Friends, I need your help. I'm working on the Far Horizons chapter for the #ActivityPub book, where I discuss future applications for AP. I've got dating, enterprise software, job search, IOT, marketplace, and others.
What's a far-out application of ActivityPub you've thought of that I might not have?
#Trump is being very clear, his only problem with January 6 is that it did not succeed. He will turn aside the decisions of every jury who found insurrectionists guilty.
@tzimmer_history@dangillmor@benroyce I think that position was more tenable for Substance when they were not building a lot of growth and recommendation features into their platform. The platform went from neutral tool for distributing content to a network where you could have algorithmic recommendation of objectionable content next to your newsletter.
Ghost, currently is still in the domain of simple tool to send emails.
I still have a happy social life and I am totally satisfied with the wonderful communication I have in the #fediverse since 2018. On my own instance. Because decentralisation ;)
(I still miss Google+, apologies if that doesn't fit your agenda ;)
My kingdom for a Mac Touch ID button that I could reach without having to have the laptop perched open on the side of my desk just for authentication convenience.
Okay #FediTips I need some help. I'm on some kind of list for spam, getting hundreds of notifications like this a day -- at first it looked like different accounts from the same server (so I blocked the server), but now I'm seeing it from different accounts on different servers and lots of server blocks later, my notifications are still swamped. What options do I have?
@jwildeboer@emilymbender maybe admin approved or referral only registrations should be a default? That would make it harder to join the fediverse, but also might avoid some of these abuse vectors?
@ernie@anildash the Atom format supports including HTML as the format type, so you could maybe get there? But I really don't know how the various readers respect that.
> If the value of "type" is "html", the content of atom:content MUST NOT contain child elements and SHOULD be suitable for handling as HTML [HTML]. The HTML markup MUST be escaped; for example, "<br>" as "<br>". The HTML markup SHOULD be such that it could validly appear directly within an HTML <DIV> element.
Why aren't Black people more patriotic? This is their country too! Why don't they serve their country like our brave military and veterans? Vets love America, and know what service means! Black people disrespected the troops by kneeling during the anthem, and I've had just about enough of that! You can't Black history month your way out of this one! Respect our troops!
@mekkaokereke I served in the military as an officer for 8 years and are incredibly lucky for the incredibly smart, dedicated, and diverse black and Hispanic officers and NCOs did more to dispel racism that I didn't know I was carrying around as a young man from suburban Marine. I grew up in middle class in an incredibly homogeneous environment and didn't realize the prejudices I had until I found myself in an incredibly diverse military with everyone from hillbillies to black kids from cities.
This is a pretty incredible piece of work impacting #LongCovid future treatments that I just made my neuroscientist wife explain to me. Potentially a big finding and here's a good readable summary:
Anyone affected by layoffs, come join us at #cribl! We are growing, and hiring fully remote senior and staff engineering and SRE roles in the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Australia.
Here’s what The Counteroffensive is reading today:
After reports broke earlier this week that #Russia was trying to recruit Cubans to fight in #Ukraine, #Cuba announced they arrested 17 men involved in the trafficking of these recruits.
@timkmak I keep waking up hoping that today is the day they break through to the Russian rear area and start cutting through command ports and supply depots on their way to Crimea. 🤞
The impending wall of disaster about to hit live/production services when IT (or The Business) insists on batching all changes together in a big monthly release. 🌊
@matthewskelton Recently saw notes from a customer conversation that it takes them a full year to roll out a new versions of software to some clients, just to make sure they are stable.
