Thinking about how underrated is Thomas Feiner!

@xuu@txt.sour.is direwolf is not hard. It takes just a bit of manual reading :)

You need to figure out what it means to have “free thought”, “to reason”, “have deep understanding” and be able to apply knowledge in unfamiliar environments or scenarios. You have to figure out what it means to “dream”. You have to figure out what it means to hold “ethics”, “morals” and even “beleifs”.

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net When are we going to resign ourselves to a position of not achieving AGI and so-called AI in the first place? Hmmm 🧐 Fundamentally I don’t think we understand how the human brain works or what it means to be a “conscious free thinking being” – I’m not convinced we’ll figure this out to be honest.

@xuu@txt.sour.is must be extremely unlucky, as it picks a random pod in the peering list 🤣 – Oh but wait… @xuu@txt.sour.is have you updated recently? @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org did add some new feature that means you have to go to Settings -> Poderator settings and trust the peers you have there, including my pod 😅

@bender@twtxt.net True I just wanted to make sure 👍

They are however pretty good at auto-complete though. If you wire up Continue.dev with VSCode and a local Ollama powered codeastral model, it’s pretty decent. Or if you use the open source friendly Codeium.

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club With enough data and enough computing power you can simulate anything right or create grand illusions that appear to real they’re hard to tell 😅 – But yes, at the end of the day LLM(s) today are just large probabilistic models, stochastic parrots.

Radxa Introduces the Palmshell SLiM X4L with Intel N100 Processor and 2.5GbE RJ45 Port
The Radxa X4L, also known as the Palmshell SLiM X4L, is a compact device powered by Intel’s quad-core N100 processor. With features like a 2.5GbE LAN port, Wi-Fi 6E, and dual 4K@30Hz display support, it’s well-suited for multimedia and general-purpose use. Unlike the Palmshell SLiM X2L released this year, the X4L integrates the Intel Alder

I like this comment on Slashdot in the above link:

LLMs don’t have an understanding of anything. They can only regurgitate derivations of what they’ve been trained on and can’t apply that to something new in the same ways that humans or even other animals can. The models are just so large that the illusion is impressive.

So true.

Radxa Enhances Compact RK3582-Based Networking Device with Dual 2.5GbE Ports
Radxa recently introduced a compact networking device powered by the hexacore Rockchip RK3582 System-on-Chip. This new model builds on the design of the previous Radxa E20C but features dual 2.5GbE RJ45 ports, enhancing its networking capabilities. The Radxa E52C is built on the Rockchip RK3582 SoC, which includes a 6-core CPU composed of a dual-core

To @anth@a.9srv.net’s points, I think this should be written as “Client recommendations” and “Serve recommendations”. Separate from the “Twtxt format” spec.

@bender@twtxt.net Agreed 👍

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org agree on the HTTP stuff. I mean we could mention that for optimization see RFC yadda yadda should be followed for caching. but not have it part of the spec proper.

Quando o gov corta na ciência, não é porque não sabe o seu valor.
Quando o gov corta na educação, não é porque não sabe gerir a sociedade.
Quando o gov corta nos programas sociais, não é porque não reconhece o seu papel social.

É agenda: este gov de direita, tal como qualquer outro, tem como base programática o desmantelamento do estado social e da coisa pública. E nisso tem sido extremamente eficaz e competente.

Uma esquerda que denuncia a suposta incompetência ou burrice das pessoas no poder dá-lhes o crédito de estarem empenhados numa sociedade melhor pra todes, e que ao falhar nisso é uma questão de incompetência.

E quando essa denúncia é feita através de comentários sarcásticos e apontamentos de “hipocrisia”, servindo mais para afirmar superioridade intelectual do que realmente denunciar e avançar alternativas, é uma trágica forma de clicktivismo que continua extremamente em voga – e a direita agradece.

tl;dr: tratar as medidas opressivas/autoritárias/securitárias de qualquer direita como fruto de burrice ou incompetência não é só um erro, é alimentar e até legitimar o seu discurso

@sorenpeter@darch.dk Section 7 on emojis: Exactly that, it’s an avatar for text interfaces. The metadata name needs tweaking, but that’s a cool idea. If I implemented this in my client, I’d make the text avatar overridable by the user, though. Otherwise I’d probably only see boxes for everbody in my terminal. :-D

@xuu@txt.sour.is LOL :-D

Thank you, @eapl.me@eapl.me! No need to apologize in the introduction, all good. :-)

Section 3: I’m a bit on the fence regarding documenting the HTTP caching headers. It’s a very general HTTP thing, so there is nothing special about them for twtxt. No need for the Twtxt Specification to actually redo it. But on the other hand, a short hint could certainly help client developers and feed authors. Maybe it’s thanks to my distro’s Ngninx maintainer, but I did not configure anything for the Last-Modified and ETag headers to be included in the response, the web server just already did it automatically.

The more that I think about it while typing this reply, the more I think your recommendation suggestion is actually really great. It will definitely beneficial for client developers. In almost all client implementation cases I’d say one has to actually do something specifically in the code to send the If-Modified-Since and/or If-None-Match request headers. There is no magic that will do it automatically, as one has to combine data from the last response with the new request.

But I also came across feeds that serve zero response headers that make caching possible at all. So, an explicit recommendation enables feed authors to check their server setups. Yeah, let’s absolutely do this! :-)

Regarding section 4 about feed discovery: Yeah, non-HTTP transport protocols are an issue as they do not have User-Agent headers. How exactly do you envision the discovery_url to work, though? I wouldn’t limit the transports to HTTP(S) in the Twtxt Specification, though. It’s up to the client to decide which protocols it wants to support.

Since I currently rely on buckket’s twtxt client to fetch the feeds, I can only follow http(s):// (and file://) feeds. But in tt2 I will certainly add some gopher:// and gemini:// at some point in time.

Some time ago, @movq@www.uninformativ.de found out that some Gopher/Gemini users prefer to just get an e-mail from people following them: https://twtxt.net/twt/dikni6q So, it might not even be something to be solved as there is no problem in the first place.

Section 5 on protocol support: You’re right, announcing the different transports in the url metadata would certainly help. :-)

Section 7 on emojis: Your idea of TUI/CLI avatars is really intriguing I have to say. Maybe I will pick this up in tt2 some day. :-)

Perfect, @eapl.me@eapl.me, it’s fixed again. In fact this editor seems to support the Unicode line separator character all too well, otherwise it would not have replaced it in the first place. :-D Time to switch to a more unintelligent editor. ;-)

Thanks, @bender@twtxt.net. I try to.

I haven’t noticed any smell of fog, @bender@twtxt.net. Might @nff@www.noizhardware.com’s experience stem from a similar phenomenon that creates a lovely smell after a good, air-cleaning rain shower?

@eapl.me@eapl.me Neat.

So for twt metadata the lextwt parser currently supports values in the form [key=value]

@sorenpeter@darch.dk on 4 for gemini if your TLS client certificate contains your nick@host could that work for discovery?

I realise now that the referred post might just be fiction. I am slow Ferengi these days. LOL.

@wbknl@twtxt.net are you still in Russia? It could be hard mailing anything to there these days. I read your “russia is eternally cold”, and became curious. Patagonia is the only place I know on South America that it has rounded mountains, though they can be anywhere. Originally from Chile, or Argentina? My curiosity doesn’t need feeding, by the way. It’s all good if it doesn’t. :-)

This morning (and a little bit of the afternoon) the idea of having a full referenced archive of twtxts on the web has consumed me a bit. I am talking about something similar to the email archives one see online, but for twtxts, and a more personal level. Such archive would be available, even if the involved feeds are long gone, because feeds will be treated as received emails.

@eapl.me@eapl.me here are my replies (somewhat similar to Lyse’s and James’)

1. Metadata in twts: Key=value is too complicated for non-hackers and hard to write by hand. So if there is a need then we should just use #NSFS or the alt-text file in markdown image syntax ![NSFW](url.to/image.jpg) if something is NSFW

2. IDs besides datetime. When you edit a twt then you should preserve the datetime if location-based addressing should have any advantages over content-based addressing. If you change the timestamp the its a new post. Just like any other blog cms.

3. Caching, Yes all good ideas, but that is more a task for the clients not the serving of the twtxt.txt files.

4. Discovery: User-agent for discovery can become better. I’m working on a wrapper script in PHP, so you don’t need to go to Apaches log-files to see who fetches your feed. But for other Gemini and gopher you need to relay on something else. That could be using my webmentions for twtxt suggestion, or simply defining an email metadata field for letting a person know you follow their feed. Interesting read about why WebMetions might be a bad idea. Twtxt being much simple that a full featured IndieWeb sites, then a lot of the concerns does not apply here. But that’s the issue with any open inbox. This is hard to solve without some form of (centralized or community) spam moderation.

5. Support more protocols besides http/s. Yes why not, if we can make clients that merge or diffident between the same feed server by multiples URLs

6. Languages: If the need is big then make a separate feed. I don’t mind seeing stuff in other langues as it is low. You got translating tool if you need to know whats going on. And again when there is a need for easier switching between posting to several feeds, then it’s about building clients with a UI that makes it easy. No something that should takes up space in the format/protocol.

7. Emojis: I’m not sure what this is about. Do you want to use emojis as avatar in CLI clients or it just about rendering emojis?

@eapl.me@eapl.me Regarding supporting languages:

That said, coming from platforms like X and Masto, where switching languages is easy, I naturally read content and write into my timeline in at least three languages. Changing my “account” is not a simple as switching languages, and in those platforms have another meaning (“I’m a different person”). Supporting that would be beneficial for some, though I’m not sure how many would use it.

I think this is more of a client concern in my opinion. Like @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org said earlier though, sometimes he and @movq@www.uninformativ.de “Twt” in German. I don’t (nor anyone else I’m aware of) have a problem with this. It seems to be that a “client” could detect this and deal with this appropriately or give a user appropriately controls.

For me (_personally__ I’ve never found it a problem. I use extensions like “Simple Translate” anyway, so it doesn’t matter a great deal to me.

@eapl.me@eapl.me Just responding to some of your specific ideations here:

Sure! From my research, Gemini (and likely Gopher as well) don’t have a similar header, so if a client is using those protocols, they won’t be able to inform your server.

So, it’s worth considering, would twtxt 2.0 only support HTTP/S?

I’m not sure how to standardize “Discovery” across different protocols for serving feeds, HTTP, Gopher, Gemini, etc. beyond what you initially suggested. But here’s the thing, the User-Agent HTTP Header isn’t the only aspect to “discovery”. Discovery in practise is more of an organic property of @-mentions across feeds in the first place, something that crawlers take advantage of.
