How do open source projects get things done? How do they retain contributors, attract users, and make technical decisions? All this (and more!) falls under the auspice of "governance". Shauna Gordon-McKeon explores the power and potential in being thoughtful your project's governance, and how expanding your view of what governance entails can create a virtuous cycle.
In a conversation looking at multiple meanings of open source governance and project health, Shauna Gordon-McKeon shares with Open Source Stories views of how investing in project culture can build virtuous cycles of inclusion and contribution.
If you want to understand the whole OpenAI thing, this article is super helpful because it explains that OpenAI is not a real research organization or tech company like the ones we know: It's a cult. It's basically Scientology 2.0.
Quote: "The consequences are what you might expect when a crowd of bright but rather naive (and occasionally creepy) computer science and adjacent people try to re-invent theology from first principles, to model what human-created gods might do, and how they ought be constrained. They include the following, non-comprehensive list: all sorts of strange mental exercises, postulated superhuman entities benign and malign and how to think about them; the jumbling of parts from fan-fiction, computer science, home-brewed philosophy and ARGs to create grotesque and interesting intellectual chimeras; Nick Bostrom, and a crew of very well funded philosophers; Effective Altruism, whose fancier adherents often prefer not to acknowledge the approach’s somewhat disreputable origins."
La mayoría progresista, de siete magistrados contra cuatro, ha rechazado el recurso planteado por diputados del PP, en línea con la nueva ponencia redactada por el magistrado conservador Ricardo Enríquez
No quiero pensar que por algún motivo hubieran dicho que tenía que facilitar esa información. Incluso imagina que hubieran tenido mayoría absoluta y hubieran sacado los documentos sin tener el plácet de los afectados. Todo esto es muy peligroso.
Quien sabe, una interpretación extremadamente forzada por ejemplo de los arts 109, 111.1, y 66.2 podría haber dado otro resultado. Estas cosas casi siempre son discutibles.

Dual stack is the most common way of deploying IPv6 in access networks. A recent standard defines IPv6-mostly access networks, providing IPv4 connectivity only for legacy devices while allowing modern devices to run IPv6-only.
awesome. The numbers correlate quite well with what I see in the RIPE meeting network.
Also Apple fixed all the annoying bugs recently so now it should not matter if people have their custom IPv4 address of DNS server configured - essentially it is ignored until IPv4 is provisioned.
@SuspiciousDuck Sólo akcia Kuffu to zrejme bude, ale hovoriť pri Šimkovičovej o príčetnosti sa veľmi asi nedá. Je ale super pokiaľ vedia mať nezhody medzi sebou aj bez toho, aby do toho zasahovala tretia strana, lebo čím skôr sa rozhádajú, tým lepšie pre Slovensko.
Whereas the Czech government hasn't yet met its own mandatory #IPv6 requirements with a 2010 deadline. Even the ministry of finance launched multiple brand new ISes not supporting IPv6.
Today I learned about trurl. A standalone utility using libcurl that parses, normalizes and transforms URLs. Handy for everyone that needs to handle URLs with shell scripting. daniel.haxx.se/blog/2023/04/03… Quality software by @bagder
#TýdenProDigitálníČesko v plném proudu 🥳 Zahajujeme s panem prezidentem, mluvíme o stavu digitalizace na ČT a diskutujeme v panelu na úřadu vlády, ale nejen Prahou živ je člověk – jeden náš workshop právě probíhá v Liberci a druhý se chystá podvečer v Boskovicích. Podrobnější přehled všech našich akcí nejen pro tuhle příležitost najdete na cesko.digital/events. Jsme moc rádi, že téma digitalizace dostává takovou pozornost, jen houšť!
Jsme komunita špičkových specialistů z mnoha oborů od IT přes projektové řízení až po marketing, kteří chtějí ve svém volném čase pomáhat státu i nestátním organizacím a měnit tak Česko k lepšímu.
⚡Breaking News⚡ The #surveillance program known as Data Analytical Services (previously known as Hemisphere) has been actively collecting trillions of domestic call records from Americans including those of individuals not suspected of any crimes.🕵️ 📱
Telecom provider AT&T has been collecting and saving call data on behalf of law enforcement agencies without any legal requirement to do so. 👨⚖️
A WIRED analysis of leaked police documents verifies that a secretive government program is allowing federal, state, and local law enforcement to access phone records of Americans who are not suspected of a crime.
Isn't that one of the surveillance programs that Edward Snowden revealed? As far as I know the government never mentioned the will to shut it down, only some “safeguard mechanisms” were promised to be installed.
@agitatra This program is not new, but its on-going data collection is startling. Not to mention AT&T's willing cooperation in the collection of this data without requiring a warrant.
Well yes, absolutely startling. However I have the impression that more and more people are getting used to it, especially because the program is "only used to fight child abuse and terrorism", and occasionally - in an act of self defence - to find out if the surveilIer's girlfriend is cheating on him. Fortunately, as an european I have to write like a monk about love, thanks to our high court, such a program is prohibited, at least officially😬.
And this is why within the IT industry AT&T is known as the Devil of Telecommunications. I think every place I've been where they have a presence has been FUBAR. People with no morals and even less intelligence. The entire company needs to be shut down.

If you're in Melbourne today, come and see Sean and Quentin at Statewide Vision Resource Centre's expo - 370 Springvale Road, Donvale, until 4pm. #NVDA #NVDAsr, #Expo #Technology #Accessibility #A11y
Remember a few weeks back when I said no one appreciates people that file bugs. Well as we tiptoe closer to the #Thunderbird for #Android release, I look at the visionary that filed the initial bug bringing up the idea 12 years ago when most people floating around #Mozilla wanted a #WindowsPhone version to run on #PDAs. That youn... old hero won't get any credit or acknowledgement, but to someone, somewhere, they matter!
We will share that bug report gladly, and as we get closer to Thunderbird for Android, we've never been so glad to take back a "that sounds nice, but it probably won't happen." Cosmin, it may have taken us a while, but this bug is on its way to being fixed. :)
Oof. I didn't notice Masto WebIf converted the animated GIF to a … non-animated whatever 😔 So let's see if that works… Ah, this way it does (so it was rather my pasting it in instead of "attaching" it; again something learned). OK, ALT added:

I really want to try this open ai thing for NVDA, but the open ai site isn't letting me add a payment method! it keeps saying you are making too many attempts. slow down. even the first time I tried to hit continue I got that stupid message! grrrrrrrrrr!
Neat! Do I understand correctly that this doesn't allow you to ask questions, but the underlying API does? Or is the follow-up question part not exposed to the public API yet? Or perhaps you have no idea about any of this and I'm asking the wrong person? :)
@jcsteh As far as I know, the API is stateless, so only implicitly supports follow-ups. I.e., if you want to ask a question about previous responses, you have to resend that history with the request, decorated with which party said what. This add-on doesn't support asking follow-up questions regardless. I suppose you could modify the initial prompt in the settings to ask something specific before the image had been recognised, or after the initial recognition before resending it. @pitermach
@jcsteh From what I've seen, this is one of the most common questions on the OpenAI dev forums and other Q&A sites by far; people expect it to work like the web version of ChatGPT out of the box. So on one hand, statefulness would be a popular feature. On the other, it could decrease token usage and hence API revenue, or make token utilisation less predictable. There could also be questions about how long they store e.g. cached images within a session, although I think the data usage ship has well and truly sailed on this one. @pitermach
@jscholes @jcsteh All OpenAI APIs work this way, including Chat GPT. There's no state, you always send the entire conversation history. This is most likely what web Chat GPT (or the Chat GPT backend) does under the hood. Even if there was state, it would be an abstraction at best with little to no impact on token usage. You just have to feed the whole conversation history to the model every time to make it do anything useful, particularly in such a heavily multi-user setup. That's how transformers function.
