Wikipedia’s value in the age of generative AI - Down the Rabbit Hole - Medium
If there was a generative artificial intelligence system that could, on its own, write all the information contained in Wikipedia, would it be the same as Wikipedia today? This might seem like a…Selena Deckelmann (Down the Rabbit Hole)
Polacy w oczach XVIII-wiecznych Chińczyków 🙂
"Polska leży na północny wschód od Świętego Cesarstwa Rzymskiego. Jej lud przypomina Mongołów. Noszą wąsy, lecz nie brody. Golą większość swoich głów, pozostawiają tylko tę część włosów, która znajduje się na czubku i pozwalają jej luźno zwisać. Region w którym żyją jest zimny i wietrzny. Od wczesnej jesieni do wczesnego lata noszą odzienie zrobione ze skór zwierzęcych: lisa, borsuka, sobola i wiewiórki. Futra ich są długie aż po stopy. Noszą również czapy ze zwierzęcych skór na głowach. Lubią fechtunek i trzymają w domach dla rozrywki niedźwiedzie. Kobiety są utalentowane i zdolne. Zawiadują majątkiem samodzielnie, utrzymując w porządku zarówno wnętrze domu, jak i podwórze. Lokalne produkty to pszczoły, drewno z lasu, bursztyn, bydło i owce."

This bug is a masterpiece and you owe it to yourself to read this. So much effort for such a situational bug, it's heartbreakingly beautiful.
This is truly absurd and delightful. The "first human computed shader". You are assigned a pixel, given the equation, and need to show your handwritten manual calculation of its RGB value.
"405 different people have been computing pixels by hand for 4 days"
It's made by Inigo Quilez the undisputed king of shaders.

One of the most under-used features of Mastodon is audio. You can attach audio files to your posts, they can be in MP3, OGG, WAV, FLAC, AAC, M4A or 3GP formats. They can be any length, as long as the file size is under 40 megabytes (some servers may have even higher limits).
I've attached an example audio file to this post, you should be able to play it on most interfaces and apps.

do you have a spec somewhere for this? and what kind of bugs can occur by the "prior art" solutions like cbor, msgpack(and so on)?
msgpack.org has some graphic in the banner on top of the page that gives some insight on how the binary is stored, how did you store it?
Speed and CPU usage will also matter in the end so if you further pursue it some benchmarks would be nice, I like looking at benchmark graphs ;)

Fear, loathing, and excitement as Threads adopts open standard used by Mastodon
Meta promised to make Threads compatible with W3C open standard for social media.
I want to enable file uploads on my #XMPP server. (XEP-0363). I'm running #prosody. The docs say "The domain specified in your Component line should ideally be a direct subdomain of your VirtualHost."
Does this mean I cannot use the same domain as my VirtualHost for this? So if my server runs on im.skelly.boo, uploads would have to be on a subdomain for that or a different subdomain entirely?

The justice minister has ordered that a nationalist convicted for trying to steal a rainbow bag during a protest against an LGBT march be released from prison while a presidential pardon is considered.
He called her three-year jail sentence a "scandal".

I bet my girlfriend that this picture of our cats could get 10 billion boosts on Mastodon.
She said she doesn't believe me. She said there's only 13 million accounts on Mastodon. She said there aren't even 10 billion people on Earth. She said it concerns her that I struggle so hard to comprehend large numbers.
Let's prove her wrong everyone. Boost away and show her just how awesome the Mastodon community is.
