Hezbollah fired a rocket straight into an Israeli school killing 168 children and 2 teachers! They wanted to target an Israeli military base and due to outdated information they hit that school....
The entire world condemns it!
Now Israel says it has the right to destroy Hezbollah and everyone in Lebanon who stays in their way.
There you go!
Oh wait...

One of my favorites from Beuda, Spain, on a spectacularly clear night. The brightest dot is Jupiter.
Wouldn't it be amazing if people focused on the things that connect us- the stars, the universe, the creation of atoms, the Earth, life, evolution, the interconnectedness of it all- rather than on the silly beliefs that separate us, or on the self-centered desires for wealth and power brought about by a corrupt system run by lunatics..
War should be considered a complete absurdity, a failure of the human species. A shameful, primitive practice. A loss from the very start.
So long as there are wars we cannot consider ourselves an intelligent species. We've gotten so far in understanding the universe and advancing technology, yet we've gotten nowhere in applying that understanding to our society as a whole. We remain a tribal, primitive society, only now with more powerful weapons and more violence.
What a shame.

Do you want to have your own #Mastodon instance? How about #Peertube, #Nextcloud, #Matrix or a #Pixelfed instance? You can buy a managed hosting of these services from webape.site/
#ManagedHosting means you don't need to have any technical skills or know how to maintain a Linux server, all of that will be done for you. The #Webape project is a small business run by @tio, he also made trom.tf and have been providing all of those #FOSS services for free since 2021.
We use dedicated VPS for each instance and we can upgrade to more powerful servers if necessary. I would say for a small instance around 30€ a month should do very well. If not 60€ should work fine. That is what we offer:
You can give it a try with us if you want, and migrate your account to us. If is not working well you can switch back. I think Mastodon provides such an option for migrating accounts.
No I meant to migrate the current account to a new server. Alternatively you can migrate the entire database and files. Do you know how big is your database?
We also do cleanups from time to time to prune old unused stuff from the Mastodon instances we manage.
That is a massive database for 1 user. Even our Friendica that has over 1k users is half that size. Also a lot of Media storage I see. Likely you should prune the old media that is not even accessed anymore. Else you are caching all media and store it locally.
The biggest Mastodon instance we manage has 2 users, 1 has 23k followers. The database is 3.7GB and stored Media about 40GB,

> Likely you should prune the old media that is not even accessed anymore. Else you are caching all media and store it locally.
I assume you're talking about about Mastodon caching remote media from other servers, yeah that should be pruned from time to time.
We also do not give root access to our server to do such things yourself, but we do maintenance to not let the databases grow so much. The account that has 23k followers I was saying about is on our lowest tier. And indeed the database grew a lot but I rather clean it and keep it small than ask to move to a bigger server. We only take a few projects for WebApe and I want do do it right. It is not a business but a paid service so we are able to support our free projects.
In case you want to move to our hosting let us know and maybe we can find a way to transfer your instance, although the best would be to export your Mastodon account, then setup a new instance with us and import your account. So you dont drag a poorly maintained database to the new server.
Rokosun likes this.
And there I was thinking those prices look quite expensive... I mean your 5k followers is already medium sized, but you could probably self-host something capable of serving that for less than $10 a month.
@liaizon @kris @mastohost
If you are planning to self-host and manage a server by yourself then I recommend looking into @yunohost
Yunohost is made to be easy to manage by nontechnical folks, tho I still recommend having a bit of Linux experience if you can. Tio and I maintain a Linux distribution called TROMjaro so we know quite a bit about Linux, you don't need to be that involved but just using Linux on your laptop/PC can teach you a lot.

Using a free software stack, you could be an effective developer with a relatively low budget. A cheap or used laptop and an internet subscription.
LLM coding is changing that too. You either need a very powerful and expensive machine to run a local model, or (currently more likely) an LLM subscription. We are lead to believe you have to pay a monthly fee to be an effective developer.
The prospect of your output as a developer being tied to a proprietary service seems risky at best.

I think that in the early 2030s we will be seeing dissertations and papers on "The Mid-2020s Developer Skills Erosion Caused by Indiscriminate Large Language Model (LLM) Use".
Believe me, it *will* be a hot academic topic.
@pitrh I'm inclined to think "The evolution of natural language for programming" will be a hotter topic still. It's another abstraction layer. Programming will, in some ways anyway, be accessible to more people than before.
At the same time, this is not incompatible with my original post, and LLM coding has tons of ethical and legal hurdles as well.
@pitrh That's not so much making "programming" more accessible, but making "throwing code at a compiler/interpreter and see what sticks without wiping your filesystem" more accessible.
Regardless of the target language, be it Python, or "natural language" (it would be chock full of jargon), or a pseudocode used for just one problem, programming has always been less about wrestling with the language syntax, and much more about getting the solution out of your brain into the machine that can't think for itself. That part is made no more accessible by an LLM, because it can't experience the problem for itself, and it can't go through the discovery process of noticing and fixing all the details you didn't think of when you first came up with the idea for a solution.
Yeah, I've been at this with free stacks where possible.
LLMs are MLs,. You don't seem to understand that fact. Different abbreviation I guess, it's confusing.
>We are lead to believe you have to pay a monthly fee to be an effective developer.
Which is where the ML comes into the picture. All the coders I know, not many to be sure, but all the Rust coders I know apply Candle to their own dev/ directories.
The prospect of your output as a developer being tied to a proprietary service seems risky at best.
My output as a developer has made me moderately wealthy as these things go. I killed proprietary systems. You don't know me. The sheer effing arrogance.
> So you did indeed not read his post but decided to go full porcupine and throw a hissy fit when called out. Talk about arrogance.
Try that gaslighting shit elsewhere.
> Using a free software stack, you could be an effective developer with a relatively low budget. A cheap or used laptop and an internet subscription.
>LLM coding is changing that too. You either need a very powerful and expensive machine to run a local model, or (currently more likely) an LLM subscription. We are lead to believe you have to pay a monthly fee to be an effective developer.
To which I replied
>Excuse me, no. I'm using open source MLs.
Is it this part you don't like? Or this one?
> LLM coding is changing that too. You either need a very powerful and expensive machine to run a local model, or (currently more likely) an LLM subscription. We are lead to believe you have to pay a monthly fee to be an effective developer.
That's a begged question and it's not true either.
> The prospect of your output as a developer being tied to a proprietary service seems risky at best.
Which is, of course, bullshit.
So where's your argument, Art? Your website sure is informative.
Hey Arthur, just wanted to say that your website is actually pretty nice. A few words of genuine content over SEO optimized slop anytime.
More English lessons for you: let's parse the following sentence:
> My output as a developer
tied to a proprietary service
seems risky at best.
I lasted 40 years as a consultant and only really worked for 9 months a year for tax purposes. I did not hug a corporate tree.
And I made about 3x than my employee counterparts. How much are you clearing after taxes, Arthur? Are you brave enough to step out of the cubicle farm and make some real money?
Of course not.
Now, I'm going to put you on Mute, Arthur. It's for your own good.
“worse than stupidity”

@leeg None. It's impractically slow for actual work-use, but I run qwen3-coder-next on a little ~€750 AMD machine with regular 64GiB DDR5 DIMMs. Granted, I got that RAM 2.5 years ago before the craze. But with Strix Halo hardware I'd say its feasible.
Like you said, how accessible was hardware, let alone software, in the early days of (personal) computing? I paid ~€130 for a STUDENT license Visual C++ in ~1998!
The original premisse feels almost entitled.
yes, i’m concerned about that too, for now i have "free" access to them through work, and i assume it’d be the case even if i switched job, it would be more risky if i went independant, but still probably a manageable cost.
I’m still not at ease with the whole thing, and i keep an eye on what’s possible with smaller models (i was pretty happy with qwen-2.5-coder even at 4B, for code completion when i was still using that, but didn’t find something local that works well for agentic coding)
@tshirtman I suppose there are a lot of professions, including in computing, where the regular tools in the field are prohibitively expensive for individuals. In that sense, an LLM subscription is likely a reasonable cost. The cost of keeping up with hardware that can run the latest and greatest local models is less predictable.
That said, it's still a fairly big change for regular software developers.
I really feel this. Having started out as an somewhat impoverished teenager, software engineering got me into a middle class. This profession is incredibly accessible to people that are stubborn enough.
I hate to see it being gate-kept with stupid LLM tools.
apparently you need to use the latest model. But if the latest model 6 months ago was good enough to create software 6 months ago, then it must still be good enough to create software this month. And if today's model can't be used in 6 months (because there is a newer one) then it can't be used today either.
Having to pay for the latest model is only true if you are in a competition, not of you want to create something useful.
yeah it's what I've been fearing, it's willingly giving away the means of production to a corporation in another country.
it's also not being able to code unless you have a decent always on internet connection. it's already the case for a lot of people, but your coding should be able to be done on a disconnected laptop

As a former translator, hailing from an industry that has already been decimated by AI 👋
In the translation business, there have always been bottom feeders charging dimes to the dollar for crappy translations. Those were the first to die when AI took hold. Then companies figured: why pay humans to make decent translations if we can have AI produce half decent translations for free?
In a few years time my yearly income from my translation side business plummeted from €10k+ to zero, so I folded my business, as did many other freelance translators. We're now left with a world that's worse for everybody. Consumers get badly translated interfaces and manuals (in the Dutch interface of a major Microsoft product I saw a button labeled "onbewolkt" = "uncloudy" - it took me a while to figure out that the button must have been labeled "clear" in English and translated from a totally unrelated context, a mistake a human technical translator wouldn't make), skilled translators fled to other work, enshittification all around.

I will apologize if it's the original panel but i'm not at home to check.
thinking out loud but it appears that there is no consensus on what the world's problems actually are.
Some countries might start wars to protect their grip on power, be it it's influence, treasury, or fear to be overrun by competing nations.
Some regimes want to protect a certain way of life, and view outside influence as a corrupting factor. Wealthier and more powerful societies can project culture that overwhelms local traditions.
Much of it seems to revolve around fear.
There are a lot of reasons for the downfall of the #USA but a big one is the purchase of traditional #media by plutocrat goons

War is a racket. It always has been.
yes, it's not recent
i'm thinking of editing my post to indicate that
but i don't think it's that big of a deal
the point i make is true. it is also true the headline isn't current. i don't know. i'm not disturbed by what you're saying, nor that there is an indication it's recent, nor that i'm misleading anyone
@jamesmarshall I don't blame you for not wanting to go to their site. Here's an archive.ph link: archive.ph/Uiu60
The author apparently is one Ian Morris claiming to be a professor at Stanford (I don't even have to look up this person's history to learn they were born into privilege do I?)
Interestingly this was written back in 2014 apparently. They were also running hit pieces against Obama. 🙄 I didn't realize they were this bad even that long ago.
Hey, he's got a point. Wars are the one reliable reason to extract and recirculate wealth hoarded by sillionaires that they're relatively powerless to lobby agains, and this recirculation of stagnant wealth can, indeed, make everybody richer.
Of course, we could be even safer and richer if we recirculated the stagnant money without having any wars.
Published in 2014 already: washingtonpost.com/opinions/in…
I would be curious to see if they are still publishing such pieces (although I suppose the answer is yes).
is it really that big of a deal?
the point i am making is true. that it isn't recent doesn't change that. but i suppose there is an expectation that my account is a breaking news account?
Armin, Paul: if you want to unfollow me, that's fine. i believe you're holding me to expectations which are unfair on flimsy grounds
that someone makes a point with their account, if it is true or not. not that they are paid reporters. obviously i am not
Same for me. It changes from 'oversight' to 'deliberate misinformation'.
From now on, I will be more cautious.
I indeed concluded that because on my PC browser, the date is above the picture.
You might be right (I hope so).
To my regret, but, as you demonstrate, the picture seems to be manipulated by removing the date,, from now on I will be more cautious when I see posts from Ben.
@paulschoe @Linkshaender @NatureMC
right. because i'm not a paid reporter. nothing i said was untrue. i was making a point. you're acting like you bought a newspaper and found out the reporter lied. it's a little overdramatic on your part don't you think?
@NatureMC @Linkshaender @paulschoe
and why did you ever not do that, if it's so important to you
i feel like i am being roped into a newsroom, as if i am paid reporter. none of which i am
Wars do make some richer and are an excellent way to stimulate the economy (when the war is sufficiently far away, obviously).
The USA figured this out in the middle of the great depression just before deciding to join WWII, and has been fighting wars ever since. The rest of the world isn’t particularly happy about it.

i don't want to do that

@invadersil But wouldn't it be perfectly in line with the Madman Theory for the proprietor of Pravda Socia tol resolve a falling-out with Darth Melon and with the ghosts of ajatollahs past alike by offering Xitter to Iran as a war reparation?
it's worse. the headline says war, but it's about genocide:
"If only the Roman Empire could have been created without killing millions of Gauls and Greeks, if the United States could have been built without killing millions of Native Americans, if these and countless conflicts could have been resolved by discussion instead of force. But this did not happen. People almost never give up their freedoms — including, at times, the right to kill and impoverish one another — unless forced"
I generally run some news video while I cook, and sometimes eat if I'm hungry enough for it not to make me sick, Reuters, PBSNewsHour, Al Jazeera (English), sometimes deeper dives. Tonight it was Reuters, They actually ran Kegsbreath's speech (right in line with this graphic). You know it's bad when there's no commentary, as if there's no response to cover, and even the fighting Irish can't think of anything to say.
There are alternatives, and they all have different personalities.
There was one big story, I've forgotten which :/, recently that was picked up by NPR and PBS from a Substack writer. Part of what's bad is too many journalism scholarships no longer exist because the degree just gets you a sycophant's job that pays enough to payoff the remaining $100K kids had to take in loans. No one wants to subsidize that, while grads still can't pay rent and take the risk to go truly independent, so they don't.
We need, need, need affordable housing.
Why is there always enough money for MORE BOMBS
and never enough for school meals, healthcare, or to protect people from climate disasters?
