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.

Computers can be understood

Introduction This post attempts to describe a mindset I’ve come to realize I bring to essentially all of my work with software.

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.

Transphobic Backlash To Imane Khelif Doesn't Help Women

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?

A grey rectangular machine with various locked doors. In the middle is a black panel with an oblong shape gloss panel, a round black panel. A silver knob. And a screen.
The screen on the machine. It is in Dutch and says: "Lever heir je flessen en blikjes me statiegeld in" Further down it says "Krijk geld turug via dw tikkie app of dinner aan een goed doel"

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!

The Marrakesh Treaty has led to countries opening up their copyright laws and allowing the reproduction of accessible books. However, there are still many limitations. For example, 18.7% of the participating countries have a commercial availability check, and 38% have a secondary law that might require a check.Hopefully, the European Accessibility Act fully taking effect in June, 2025 will lead to a proliferation of accessible books provided by publishers. #accessibility repository.ifla.org/handle/123…

It is not based on Vits.
While the underlying repo supports multiple model architectures, this particular run is based on ConvNeXt-TTS architecture:

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.

Codeberg

@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

It's one of those days where I'm missing Window-eyes 2.1 and 3.1, and feeling kind of sad over it. Also the Windows 3.1 Program Manager. Sigh. I will wallow in this feeling for a bit. Also not having Brailab and the classic Hungarian DOS games I grew up with while my American counterparts enjoy their retro DOS games with Mame, kind of makes me more nostalgic, I guess.

Stéphanie, why did you choose Ottawa and not Montréal when you moved from Vancouver?

Because I have an Anglo husband and I won't tolerate hateful politics against him.

Tip for #android users:

If you search for simple utility apps on #google's play store it will almost always give you a bunch of options that contain ads or ask for unnecessary permissions.

F-Droid is an alternative app store for android devices which exclusively lists apps published under the AGPL (a #copyleft / free-software / open-source license). It's possible to install F-Droid on a normal Android OS via its APK, but that can be intimidating.

Most of the apps on F-Droid are *also* available on the play store. So, even if you aren't ready to fully switch out of Google's ecosystem, you can still use F-Droid's search as a better way to find options that are (in my experience) free of ads and surveillance.

Each app features a page which links to their source code, which usually has a README file, which usually points to their page on the play store.

Я тоже считаю, что церемония была шикарная. Что реально подкачало, так это комментарии в разных странах. Начать с того, что никто не понял, почему команды представляли именно в таком порядке (германия на букву «А», например).

Basic Webxdc support is almost there. If you're on Ubuntu Touch 20.04 (Focal), Mobian or Droidian, check out a pre-release: codeberg.org/lk108/deltatouch/…

Feedback welcome :awesome:
