@bender@twtxt.net Fareek that’s nice!!! 😱

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Can you walk me through your testing process here and share example links etc? 🙏

@bender@twtxt.net I wonder where that dude who was hosting his twtxt feed in a google drive go? 😆 that was hilarious!!

@sorenpeter@darch.dk Noice!! just gave a try… and it’s looking way better! -not that the old format was bad, it’s just that this one is looking more readable-

Did I write here already that the reason why I love Twtxt so much is that it works without having to compile, install anything extra. Just the bin applications that come with 95% of all operating systems and you’re good to read and participate, giving you have a domain name somewhere to host the twtxt.txt file.

We had a great weekend overall. N. loves ice-skating and we had a nice time with friends today playing a round of bowling and visiting the Dussy christmas market.

Organised my decades old ebook collection and cleaned up all the duplicates. The Czkawka application helped a lot with getting that done. Also - finally - using Calibre as our home digital library.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That’s really disappointing 😢 Even before so-called “AI” (Artificial Incompetence) became “more of a thing” I was always astounded at how quick some of the solutions were coming out! 🤣

Over the holiday break I was looking at one of my old projects, µLinux. Turns out I did a fine job realy and have decided to revive the project 🥳 – Just getting the build/tests woring on my Mac Studio (Apple Silicon). Check it out! 👌 #µLinux

Was just catching up on all the LinkedIN garbage that is well umm garbage 🗑️ One was from a candidate I interviewed, so I had to reply to that 😅 – Anyway…. Saw this random post in my “notifications”:

How do land that job with a Unicorn

First off, you’ll have to define what da fuq a “Unicorn” is! 🤣 My understanding a Unicorn is a mythical creature with a horn on its head and wings 🪽 🤦‍♂️

Where am I?

@bender@twtxt.net Already planning on going back to the same place again next year 🤣

Poucos se lembrarão - e isto nunca figura na história contada sobre o #Aeroporto Humberto Delgado quando os agentes políticos ou a comunicação social falam do assunto - mas este Aeroporto era suposto ter sido encerrado o mais tardar em 2015, segundo um parecer de 2006 da Comissão de Avaliação #Ambiental do mesmo.

Nove anos depois, os custos acumulados relacionados com o ruído deste aeroporto na saúde dos cidadãos de Lisboa, Loures e Almada (incómodo, morbilidade) e em termos económicos (perda de produtividade, subvalorização do património imobiliário) desde 2015 calcula-se já superior a 10.000.000.000€.

Um novo estudo mostra que milhares de casos de #hipertensão, #diabetes e #demência na Europa podem estar ligados às pequenas partículas emitidas pelos aviões, e que foram encontradas no sangue, no cérebro e até na placenta. Estima-se que as partículas ultrafinas decorrentes da atividade do aeroporto de #Lisboa possam estar na origem de 15.473 casos de hipertensão, 18.615 casos de diabetes e 1.837 casos de demência entre a população da cidade e arredores, ou seja, no total cerca de 36 mil casos de doença; isto é, até 9% da população num raio de 5 km com doença atribuível ao aeroporto.

@bender@twtxt.net I reviewed my solution and it’s pretty much spot on! 🤣 the order of magnitude performance is anywhere between 1-10ms

@bender@twtxt.net I currently use the mixstral and codeastral models. Both open source and run just fine on my personal machines.

Bye bye Angsana! See you again next year hopefully 🤞

@bender@twtxt.net are one of my assumptions off?

This month’s reading prompt is #cozy and this #fridayreads I’ll fulfill it with the second of the “Lord Peter” crime fiction novels. Last #December I read the first and honestly it was a disappointment, both in terms os Sayers’ writing and Lord Peter as a character. It surprised me so much that I knew I had to read the second to see if progress was noticeable - and just by reading the start of this second one it is clear that this is completely different - good, cozy golden age crime fiction as I’d expect, and the character I am fond of.

@johanbove@johanbove.info You are also welcome to use and/or borrow from twtxt2html 👌

I was thinking of ‘tw.txt’ to avoid a double T issue… Anyway I’d say the extension and MIME type are important to know what a file (could) contain
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/MIME_types/Common_types

Reading the original spec, I understand why it should be a .txt file instead of, let’s say twtxt or anything else. In any case it could be nick.twtxt to support multiple users in the same directory.

What is curious to me was the decision at that moment of twtxt [dot] txt. You have the text part twice 🤔. Like mydb.db or eapl_todo.todo. Nothing really transcendental, just thinking out loud.
https://twtxt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/configuration.html

Cleaned up my npm package for twthash; made it CommonJS compatible, added more documentation and even a test. Current version is 1.2.2

Always a great feeling when you can solve npm install problems by simply copying over the whole node_modules folder from your own (linux) machine. One of the benefits of developing on a Linux machine I suppose.

Added TwtHash hashes to every message on my personal Twtxt HTML renderer. Code is not yet ready for prime-time. Need to work out some kinks still.

@discoverbsdthebsdcommunitylinklog@feeds.twtxt.net This is interesting. Not giving up on #FreeBSD #jails yet but definitely have to give this a try; and if my #podman workflow goes as smooth as it does on #Linux I might just end up installing FreeBSD on the #RaspberryPi too! 🥳

Upgrading my FreeBSD box to 14.2-RELEASE … I may have read something about some-Go-thing breaking but 🤞

hehe, yes, I’m having problems with https://eapl.mx/pequeña/ being renamed to https://eapl.mx/peque%C3%B1a/

yep, my point is that the txt part is redundant for twtxt

Also a .txt file could be in any format, for example those plans from John Carmak are stored now as .txt -> https://github.com/ESWAT/john-carmack-plan-archive/blob/master/by_day/johnc_plan_19960218.txt
Although being named .plan was expected for them to work, if I recall correctly -> http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/P/plan-file.html

PhD level science questions? (+1)
niftydude an hour ago
A PhD level science question is a question that can only be answered by scientific research and experimentation.

And no, by “research”, I do not mean googling.

Literally the whole point of a scientific PhD is to perform experiments and study to answer a specific research question that no one has looked into yet.

Whilst ChatGPT can probably can answer “PhD-level science questions” with the same generation of plausible bullshit it answers all questions, I very much doubt ChatGPT can answer PhD-level science questions with any sort of accuracy.

It can’t do that without performing experiments (that in some cases might be complex enough to last years).

Just more of the marketing BS silicon valley seems to be full of these days. Remember when California was actually making products that benefited society as well as making money?

Es un juego que, al menos en la primera parte, está muy bien hecho, aunque al poco tiempo se acaba el factor ‘wow’.

Como vemos en ‘Leyendas y Videojuegos’, el juego móvil es más una demostración para una experiencia de como sería que colecciones las cartas

Siento que mucha gente va a interesarse en coleccionarlas gracias a este ‘demo’.

Esta #musiquinta é “pra chocar a família”, e então aqui vai uma música de Fuckness. Não é algo que costume ouvir, mas por acaso ouvi disto anteontem, e foi o que me veio à cabeça quando li o tema desta semana.

A música é a “Domingo de manhã”, mas podia ser qualquer uma, as músicas deles são todas elas na mesma onda 😛

I like to think of it like this. It takes approximately five months of power, relatively speaking to power, the human brain vs. multiple megawatts hell even multiple gigawatts of power to power even some of the most modest and yet surprisingly complex AI models.

There is something about human intelligence that we don’t quite yet understand, and it isn’t in the complexity or increasing the number of parameters to the order of billions 🤣

In other words, I don’t think we can realistically even come close to emulating, emotion, depth, and creativity

@movq@www.uninformativ.de This random comment from another Slashdot article pretry much sums up my view on so-called “AI”:

Elevator music
Tony Isaac 20 minutes ago
If you derive your income from producing “elevator music” you might indeed be in danger of losing that income to AI. Also, bumper music–music used to fill otherwise silent gaps between segments of a podcast or radio show–might be a candidate for AI takeover.
But if you produce real music–music with depth and emotion–your job isn’t going anywhere.
How can I be so sure? I’ve seen the kind of code AI writes. I’ve seen the kind of prose AI writes. Both are amazing, for something computer-generated. But neither would be mistaken for the work of someone skilled or proficient in the art. Music won’t be any different.
