@triskelion I'm no Android dev either, but that would change the app name shown to drop the "Demo".
But before I give you false hope there, I'v just looked into the latest release: wouldn't be welcome at IoD, sorry. Comes with Crashlytics, Firebase, GMS etc – so too many proprietary components. Also, why would a wallet app need your location? The app description gives no clue (but speaks of "privacy"). Draw your own conclusions, and I might be wrong to call that "a bit risky"…

The App Directory Submission process is now live at iaccessibility.net Create an account, and login, and then find the App Directory link in the menu. You will then find a button to submit an app.
We will finish creating the ability to view submitted apps by the end of the weekend.

Wonderful article: "Computers can be understood": blog.nelhage.com/post/computer…
"…no single human understands all of the layers…from the transistors and silicon up through …the application code, not even to mention all the network services involved…"—why I am, shall we say, not a fan of the phrase "full stack".
"…engineers I’ve worked with (including myself) who are the most comfortable reading unfamiliar code bases are at risk of habitually undervaluing documentation…”—ouch, that one hurt.

Toto si tu odložím s mojou predikciou - tento výplod od Gartnera sa ukáže ako extrémny príklad genAI hujerizmu. Určite, genAI má potenciál určité odvedvia značne posunúť a prekopať, ale tento prehnaný optimizmus kruto narazí a ja len dufam, že to nebude mať následky ako prasknutie .com bubliny.

Hipe je okolo toho neskutočný, všetci to majú potrebu nacpať doslova všade, alebo aspoň to napísať. To je jak blockchain pred dekádou.
Ale je to už dobrých 18 mesiacov čo sa tento balónik vypustil a nejaký výraznejší posun, dokonca ani v aplikáciách kde sa dá na prvú očakávať, že by to mohlo mať naozaj zásadný prínos to poriadne nevidno. Naopak skôr vnímam nabaľujúci sa bludný kruh detských chýb a nových problémov.

Imane Khelif is a cis woman, she has experienced 9 losses against other women in her career, including the 2020 Olympics where she lost against Irish participant Kellie Harrington. Yet, the usual transphobes are currently unleashing a vile attack against her, misgendering her, accusing her of being a man competing unfairly and having some sort of advantage against her fellow athletes, all because she doesn't fit their incredibly limited norm of how a woman should look.
Suddenly, people who never cared or know much about the sport are very interested in women's boxing, and found a scapegoat in her in order to spread their disinformation. Khelif is currently receiving more vitriol than convicted child rapist Steven van de Velde who was still allowed to compete.
This is basically yet another reminder that it was never about genuinely caring for the safety of women. Transphobia is dangerous for everyone, *including* us cis women, and that the links between TERF ideology and white supremacy are very real. Feminism isn't feminism if it's not intersectional.

Lin Yu-ting originally got into boxing wanting to protect her mother from domestic violence, which clearly shows that she has experienced domestic abuse first hand.
Imane Khelif grew up in poverty, she started boxing when she became good at dodging the physical attacks of boys in her village, traveled 10km to train, and had to work to pay for her own bus fare, as her father didn't approve of boxing for girls. An experience that a lot of girls who grew up having so-called "tomboy" interests are probably familiar with. I know I am. She has recently become a UNICEF ambassador, aiming to inspire girls everywhere to chase their dreams. (unicef.org/algeria/en/stories/…)
Not that the transphobia and clear racist undertones of attacking these two women, despite the fact that they are both cis, aren't horrible enough, but there's something particularly sinister and cruel in the fact that the people who decided to paint them as villains and keep circulating disinformation about both, claim to act in the name of ending violence against women and protecting women's rights.

In the ongoing saga of trying to return a bottle I picked up at a shop in the station at Sloterdijk. Having failed at a supermarket in Leiden I tried the machine at Utrecht centraal. But apparently I'm too fucking stupid to return a bottle...
This is the machine. I can't work out how to use it. I have up after 5 mins. There seems to be no interactive mechanism. And you need a fucking app to use it ?!?! Which utter ableist fucking moron came up with this idea?
What sort of tourist is gonna bother to download an app to get their €0.15 back ?!?!?

Hey everyone,
I'm trying to take another stab at implementing #Passbook (#pkpass) support in #Catima.
It's going okay but I'm having trouble hunting down test cases, especially test cases with localized strings.
Do you have any .pkpass file you're willing to share with me? If so, please send them to me and tell me if you're okay with me including them in Catima unit tests. Feel free to censor things before sending (but please tell me what you censored).
Thanks!

Our first experiment is complete with fantastic results! Check out the audio sample attached to this post.
For this month, @pneumasolutions provided GPU resources for training. I really appreciate their contribution.
This is just the beginning. To keep training going, I'm still accepting donations. Any amount helps.

Glad to hear this!
For now, I'm not making checkpoints available due to them being unstable.
While initial results are promising, I discovered an issue with FFT parameters. Fixed it, and currently waiting for the server to become available to fine-tune with corrected data.
Upon getting consistent output quality, I'll publish an online demo, and make the pretrained checkpoints available via HuggingFace.
If Codeberg is trying to "compete" against GitHub and GitLab, why does it refuse to take a look at AI assistants? Apart from infringing on authors' rights and questionable output quality, we think that the current hype wave led by major companies will leave a climate disaster in its wake: disconnect.blog/generative-ai-…
Other _sustainable_ (and cheaper!) ways for increasing efficiency in software development exist: In-project communication, powerful automation pipelines and reducing boilerplate.
Generative AI is a climate disaster
Tech companies are abandoning emissions pledges to chase AI market shareParis Marx (Disconnect)
@s_levi_s Codeberg is running a single server (~130W) on renewable energy. We know that we can reach more efficiency, mostly because we don't benefit from scaling effects yet.
The difference is more like this:
- we do not encourage users to use more resources, because it would cost us more. Most competitors do the opposite (e.g. recommending the use of heavy CI pipelines), simply because it makes more revenue
- we do not spend any computing power on tracking and unnecessary data collection
