@may@txt.sour.is 👋

@prologic@twtxt.net oh my god

@prologic@twtxt.net hmm, I’d be up for thinking about that. At least at the protocol and design level–I’m afraid I can’t help much with Go programming.

@prologic@twtxt.net ack! Well, good to know.

@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t know! I’ve never used it–only came across it recently.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de it’s a great way to spice up your object storage!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net I thought you were talking about the cloud storage 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net It’s true. I think the key point is to make it 100% clear what your intentions are, so that if there ever is a legal case against Google, they cannot credibly pretend not to have known.

@prologic@twtxt.net That’s definitely a concern. I guess it’s a way to signal unequivocally that you don’t want the page indexed. If they do it anyway, they don’t really have an excuse to fall back on–they just blatantly violated your web site’s policy.

@marado@twtxt.net It’s very different. Language models are part if traditional search engines and translation engines. The new policy mentions Cloud AI abd Bard specifically. This is a weird change and probably a good preemptive move as I said previously. I’m not sure why you’re downplaying it

@shreyan@twtxt.net If that’s your reaction to PragerU, then do I have a podcast for you! https://www.stitcher.com/show/the-audit

@marado@twtxt.net It can’t possibly be defensible, which to me always signals an attempt at a power grab. They never explicitly said “we will use anything we scrape from the web to train our AI” before–that’s new. There is growing pushback against that practice, with numerous legal cases winding through the legal system right now. Some day those cases will be heard and decided on by judges. So they’re trying to get out ahead of that, in my opinion, and cement their claims to this data before there’s a precedent set.

@prologic@twtxt.net They were almost certainly doing this already, but now they’re codifying it in their policies, essentially claiming ownership over everyone’s web pages.

Ready! In the following URL I’ll be writing in English if you wanna follow me:

@prologic@twtxt.net

Hola @eapl@eapl.mx.mx un gusto seguirte por aquí

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Could lead to world war 2 again

@xuu@txt.sour.is Oh wow I didn’t know he was associated with PragerU. I’ve listened to a few episodes of The Audit podcast, where they basically shred PragerU content, and it’s hilarious and terrifying.

@prologic@twtxt.net The hackathon project that I did recently used openai and embedded the response info into the prompt. So basically i would search for the top 3 most relevant search results to feed into the prompt and the AI would summarize to answer their question.

@prx@si3t.ch I like this idea but usually I am living in a terminal or Emacs.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de If I understand it correctly, gtk4 renders using OpenGL. That means some of that RAM that appears to be allocated is actually some trick of the OpenGL driver so that it can map address in RAM space to the GPU’s VRAM (depends a lot on your setup though).

What happens if you run it with GSK_RENDERER=cairo set?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de
Doesn’t even compile on my system, which is apparently broken:

@movq@www.uninformativ.de by far the weirdest plane: https://movq.de/v/863829c893/IMG_4912.JPG

@prologic@twtxt.net I mean, I get that there are differences of opinion. But death threats? Who the hell is doing that?

@prologic@twtxt.net hahaha definitely not

@prologic@twtxt.net I tried to call him but he wouldn’t answer the phone 😞

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no I think I understand NATO’s hesitation, but at the same time if this drags on and on for years then it causes massive loss of life and is even more dangerous for everyone. If that nuclear power plant melts down, whether because Russia causes it directly or because of an “accident”, then all of Europe can be blanketed with fallout. The longer this goes on, the more likely that possibility (and worse ones!) becomes.

That is scary to be so close to Russia. I hope you’re doing OK.

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah, it’s a horrible waste.

@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t agree. I think he’s a thug who benefits a lot if everybody thinks he’s a madman.

All through this war, there has been a repeated cycle:

• We can’t give Ukraine weapon X; that will provoke Putin and he’ll drop a nuke!
  
• Russian propagandists threaten they’re about to drop nukes
  
• After lots of hand wringing, some country gives weapon X to Ukraine
  
• No nukes are dropped
  

We’re on like the 5th iteration of this. Now it’s about F-16 fighter jets. In the meantime, a lot of Ukrainians AND Russians are dying en masse.

@prologic@twtxt.net I said nothing about an international violent response. You added that 🤔

If someone punches you in the face over and over again, you don’t stand there and take it to avoid “begetting violence”. You stop them from punching you, and do your best to ensure they never punch you again. That’s not “violence begets violence”. That’s rationality.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @movq@www.uninformativ.de I’ve always liked the sound of crows, and I really really hate the sound of motorized vehicles, so I also find it absurd. I’ve come to think that some people are at some level afraid of nature, and nature sounds remind them of it.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de wow. I’d trade crow sounds for car sounds, or jet sounds, or leaf blower sounds, or lawn mower sounds, or…..100% of the time.

As far as fighting the birds goes, maybe they’re right, but probably it’d be better to re-balance the ecosystem so that crows aren’t so dominant? At least there are things to try. When it comes to reducing how much air travel people use, it takes a terrorist attack or a pandemic to affect it.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Is that a jet flying over? People’s priorities are fucked up.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I clone the important stuff on two separate clusters, but both are in my house. One of these days I’m planning to ask my brother to put a server of mine in his house, and then we can cross-clone for offsite backups that don’t require the cloud.

@mckinley@twtxt.net backintime for my desktop and work files. A combination of rsync, zfs snapshots, and redundancy for “at rest” type things.

@Planet_Jabber_XMPP@feeds.twtxt.net No. ChatGPT does not improve your code. Coding is thinking. You offloaded your thought to a machine. You will not be able to reproduce what the machine did for you if you don’t have the machine, so you learned nothing.

@mckinley@twtxt.net ninja backup and Borg

@prologic@twtxt.net that would work if it was using shamir’s secret sharing .. although i think its typically 3 of 5 so you get 3, one to the company, and one to the “third party”. so you can recover all you want.. but if the company or 3rd wants to they need one of your 3 to recover.

but still .. if they are providing them then whats the point of trusting they don’t have copies.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de § after we pass the key over to the GOV cloud for our protection.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci buuuuut it show when winter!

In the time scale viewed from the planets perspective, the climate has changed many many times.. The issue is whether that change that will inevitability come is hospitable to us meat bags. Or if we are doomed to take part in the next mass extinction event.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net you think we could get media cards to show youtube previews?

@darch@neotxt.dk I fully agree with this. As the well-worn saying goes, you cannot address social problems with technological solutions.

@mckinley@twtxt.net Yeah, that’s more clear. 👌

Systems that are on all the time don’t benefit as much from at-rest encryption, anyway.

Right, especially not if it’s “cloud storage”. 😅 (We’re only doing it on our backup servers, which are “real” hardware.)

@prologic@twtxt.net eesh, that’s rough! Hope you get a break soon.

@prologic@twtxt.net 13th without a break???

@prologic@twtxt.net hey.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I was visiting Germany once, and saw a guy try to load his bicycle onto the bike racks they have on the front of city buses. There were rules about when you could do that, which were posted on the bus stop sign, and I guess the guy thought this was a time when he could do that. But no, the bus driver disagreed. The bus driver got off the bus with a rule book, flipped it open to what I guess were the rules about bikes on the bus, and showed him the rules. The guy pointed at the sign, the bus driver said no and pointed at the book, and they went back and forth for I don’t know how long. It felt a lot like these videos lol

@prologic@twtxt.net doesn’t sound like there has been much planning involved in the “planned power outage” if they can’t tell you when the power will be out 🤦

@phoronix@feeds.twtxt.net Google just sucks in every way it seems.

@prologic@twtxt.net I should have posted the more recent one from May, but the rankings are still pretty similar and Go and scala are tied still!
