GPT-4V(ision) Unsuitable for Clinical Care and Education: A Clinician-Evaluated Assessment
Another evidence that LLMs and generative "AI" in general were just overhyped and overinflated by Microsoft and others. What was sounding horrifying and threatening for the people's jobs and work positions on the one hand and on the other as a new "neverseen breakthrough" for humanity, ended up as just a product of agressive PR, the same as crypto and web 3.0 a few years back, the same as any further potential bloated promises to raise the profits and sell more exaggerated innovations.

OpenAI's large multimodal model, GPT-4V(ision), was recently developed for general image interpretation. However, less is known about its capabilities with medical image interpretation and diagnosis.arXiv.org

Our Friendica instance got updated to the latest stable and all of our custom themes were updated and we added 2 more: Brown and Grey.
Go to Settings - Display to test them out.
They will be shared with the Friendica's developers if they want to include them in the default Friendica's themes or get some ideas about future changes.
Big thanks to these people who create Friendica for being so awesome and for keeping Friendica so useful and feature-rich!

We are now using the wonderful https://listmonk.app/ for our TROM Newsletter. Open Source and awesome! A proper self hosted Newsletter system. You can subscribe here https://newsletter.tromsite.com/subscription/form
That being said we have removed the email notifications when new posts are created for all of our websites: tromjaro.com, videoneat.com, directory.trade-free.org, and so forth. This was done because the plugin we were using was discontinued for security reasons, but also because it is not a great idea to send emails like that, from a Wordpress website. And on top of this very very few people were using this feature.
All of our websites have a "follow" page where you can follow them via RSS or the fediverse.

In January 2022, Lufthansa admitted it had operated over 18,000 empty flights to keep airport slots during the pandemic.
And they are not the only ones. Read more here.
Welcome to Earth, where trade is the main practice that everyone is a follower of, willingly or not. Where humans care mostly, if not entirely, about trade and how to maximize their advantage.
How can we get ourselves out of this shit, unless we start by understanding what the shit is made of!?
First: understand the problem. TRADE. The fact that we've built a society where you cannot survive unless you trade this for that. Once we understand this, hopefully we can tackle it. Give people a way to have a decent life, access to at least their basic needs as trade-free, and then try to replace more and more trade-based services (like say transportation) with trade-free alternatives.
Volunteers plus trade-free goods/services can create more of them, replicating over time and replacing the cancerous trade-based practices.

Fascinating Connection between Opals and Bats
In February I've joined Slovakian Bat Conservation Society for their yearly census of bats in Opal mines. That's the oldest opal mines in the world, for around 100 they been closed, and recently opened for tourism. But it also perfect place for bats to hibernate during winter. And that's why it's the best time to count them to monitor their population.

Offshoring emissions through used vehicle exports
This is why it is almost impossible to solve climate problems without entire humanity effort. There are always the poor countries to sweep those issues under their carpet, which, of course, are happy to buy a cheap shit, since nobody there can afford anything else. It is the same with the garbage and waste, by the way. But this harmful practice is completely "normal" in our society, because it is just the trade, a pillar of the economies..
We need more trade-free resources and services, which can be naturally focused on making our environment better and not making business profitable and also can be adopted by the less developed countries since it is absolutely free to use.

...and you're assuming that here in the EU everything is fine. I'm an #ebike rider in Portugal, where out in the countryside, there's still thousands of vehicles with defective, stolen or removed emission control mechanisms, or still legal but just pre-dating effective controls. Practically all the old farmers have them.
These drivers often have to demonstrate their frustration at having their pace on tiny roads set 5km/hr slower by a bike, meaning they /have to/ struggle past, foot to the floor benching thick black toxic-smelling smoke for kilometres. Often I have to stop, wait for the fumes to clear before proceeding.

@Aaron is going to present TROM tomorrow in Hamburg at the Chaotic Computer Club event. Unfortunately he only has a small, few minutes long opportunity to present the project in a workshop-like way. We tried to get TROM to the main event but there were too many applying (over 600) so we were no accepted. We will try next year.
But awesome that Aaron is there and he is trying to spread the message.

The amount of work to subtitle such a documentary in a professional way is quite intense and these people are doing it without asking anything in return. That's how we all should be. To do the things we feel are important and not worry about how to survive on this planet.

You know why the moon can perfectly cover the sun during a solar eclipse? There's nothing mysterious about it, the moon is actually getting further away from Earth as its orbit grows about 1.5 inches larger every year, it's just that all of us happen to live around the exact time where earth and moon are at the right distance away to make total solar eclipse possible - a wonderful coincide 🙂 However this also means we won't always have this kind of eclipse forever as the moon gets further away from earth.

A mesmerizing image of the protostar by JWST
This Herbig-Haro 211 (HH 211) object image depicts a Class 0 protostar in the state that our Sun could be when it was a few tens of thousands of years old.
I was thinking recently how fascinating is the fact that something beautiful and unique like our Earth can be born out of probably one of the most powerful, horrific and destructive events in the Universe - a Supernova. Indeed, the scale of those events isn't even comparable with what we experience in everyday life. Any of these happening relatively close to us and everything we know would be annihilated within the seconds.. Another reminder how fragile our world is and what unique opportunity we have here, simply wasting it on meaningless fights, trades, money..

- Update our Friendica and test to make sure everything works fine
- Move our Peertube storage to an object storage so we free up space on our server. Currently we are at the limit when it comes to storage. Using an object storage allows us to scale up.
- Add Pixelfed to our TROM.tf services
- Release a new TROMjaro
All of these require a lot of time and resources. So it make take more than just weeks.
If you can support this work and can donate 5 Euros a month, maybe you can join the 200 for TROM https://www.tromsite.com/donate/ - currently there are some 30 people supporting us and we only need 170 more to make TROM forever sustainable 😀

Our ZDay presentation is now translated into 4 languages: Spanish, Portuguese, Czech and Catalan https://videos.trom.tf/w/d5wwwrwGD7D3EE2BuTw6uT
Kudos to the people who are translating these TROM videos without anyone asking them to do so or how to do it. At TROM we work in this decentralized and more emerging style: people can get involved with whatever they can, and do it on their own.
We only provide some tools and platforms, like our Translation Matrix chat https://matrix.to/#/#translation:matrix.trom.tf
Amazing people. One of them actually, Lenka, we meet at ZDay. She came because of TROM and she quickly became our friend.
Now she made the Czech subtitle for the presentation and she wants to work on the entire TROM II documentary to subtitle it into Czech. Awesome people!
