Last time we raised funds to add offline messaging support to #bifrost bridge, which connects #matrix and #xmpp. Now we need to raise some funds again to adapt the bridge to support recent changes in how media is shared in matrix. Please contribute opencollective.com/bifrost-med… #FreeSoftware Once we have some funds, we hope this will motivate someone to fix the bridge. You can also join xmpp:bifrost-mam@groups.podder… if you like to help.

How big of a context window can you have when running that on your laptop? More generally, it'd be helpful to have a guide somewhere to estimating the RAM required for a given context window size.
@matt on paper (or at least in the model card) it's 128k but I've not tried super long contexts yet, and I haven't seen anything about how that affects memory usage
it's not just a matter of length. A password of "thisisaverylongpassword" is 23 characters but would be cracked in minutes (seconds?) Overall password complexity (entropy) is also very important to creating passwords that cannot be easily guessed or brute forced
The Quadra 905, codenamed 'Bait', was one of the most popular cheap Quadras. Containing an LC475 logic board - with one external floppy bay, one external 5.25" SCSI bay, and four internal 3.5" hard drive bays - it gave cheap & cheerful Quadra capabilities in a small platinum cube case.

@spacepup These aren't special wavetables for it. It's all stock surge stuff. I guess most of the magic is the modulation, post processing and arrangement. Set up lots of LFOs and find cool sweet spots. After a while you develop an intuition of what effects will add to the sound. Or you find ones you like using. Used an absolute ton of compression, frequency shifting, phase distortion and such. Cut the reverb tails at the right spots so things don't blend into each other. And lots and lots of experimentation.

@Keev Zpovědní tajemství je církevním právem stanovený a církví těžkými tresty postihovaný závazek mlčenlivosti o věcech, které se kněz dozví v rámci svátosti smíření, což je obřad s jasně ohraničený začátkem a koncem. Na běžné pastorační rozhovory se zpovědní tajemství nevztahuje.
Nedává smysl, aby se zpovědní tajemství vztahovalo na jiné osoby než na duchovní se zpovědní juristikcí (právem udělovat svátost smíření). Není důvod pro nějaké tajemství obdobné zpovědnímu pro jáhny nebo pastorační asistenty a asistentky, kteří a které nemají žádnou jurisdikci obdobnou zpovědní jurisdikci.
Není důvod, proč by církev měla zavazovat stát k ochraně něčeho, co sama svými předpisy nechrání.
Open source projects have to deal with a growing number of low-quality vulnerability reports based on AI. See for example this comment from Daniel Stenberg, maintainer of #Curl:
I'm sorry you feel that way, but you need to realize your own role here. We receive AI slop like this regularly and at volume. You contribute to unnecessary load of curl maintainers and I refuse to take that lightly and I am determined to act swiftly against it. Now and going forward.
You submitted what seems to be an obvious AI slop "report" where you say there is a security problem, probably because an AI tricked you into believing this. You then waste our time by not telling us that an AI did this for you and you then continue the discussion with even more crap responses - seemingly also generated by AI.
*Curl is a software that I love and is an important tool for the world. *
*If my report doesn't align, I apologize for that.*

So a crazy thing happened. In a crime thriller film called Les chambres rouges (Red Rooms, 2023) there is a scene where the hacker protagonist is attempting to purchase a snuff film in online auction. The auction happens via IRC or IRC-like chatting environment and to my surprise there's actually me @rolle and my wife @mustikkasoppa who are one of the bidders.
1) The nickname of my wife is mistakenly written as "mustikasoppa" (with one k) but if I recall correctly she has used a mistakenly written nickname in the past 2) We are both operators and on the same IRC channel as we've been for the past 17 years
This is not a coincidence. One nickname can be made up by accident but not two with these features and definitely not in a French movie. My wife's nick "mustikkasoppa" is Finnish and means "blueberry soup".
Our IRC logs are more or less public because of open source and statistics so I presume the scene has been made with chatgpt which has scraped our nicks from the Internet so that they ended up in the movie. We still chat via IRC every day together.
The era of AI... Do your background check, folks. I'm glad this wasn't a dramatized documentary film but a complete fiction. However my wife and I are real. Mixed feelings.
* New option "-o|-O|--output" for those who would like to choose the output filename.
* Automatic percent-decoding of output filenames, especially handy for URLs which are not written in Latin-based languages.
* Default filename set to "index.html" for those cases where wcurl/curl couldn't identify an output filename from the URL. You can now download everything with wcurl!
New parameter -o|-O|--output|output= which allows the user to choose the output filename.
Default to index.html as filename if none can be inferred from the URL.

Chi è andato su Bluesky sull’onda dell’hype, per bandwagon effect o per l’istintiva tendenza a fare il pecorone, sappia che i suoi testi sono sfruttati a scopo di lucro per attività informatiche dal pesante impatto ambientale.

Nová studie vědců Floridské státní univerzity ukazuje, že přidávání olova do benzínu způsobilo jen v USA deprese, úzkosti nebo hyperaktivitu u více než poloviny populace. V roce 2015 mělo více než 170 milionů Američanů vysoké hladiny olova v krvi během klíčových fází vývoje mozku. Důsledky zahrnovaly nejen pokles IQ a nižší příjmy, ale také rozsáhlé problémy s duševním zdravím.
"Given the fact that NVDA has an extremely light computer resource foot print the portable version is a blessing" - Squire, South Africa / NVDA negates the barriers many face when accessing a PC, as a free and light-weight screen reader translated into more than 50 languages.
Two related stories, both involving NVDA basically saving the day: 1. A week-long goalball camp that took place in a school during the summer. The library computers were locked down and had no screen reader on them. I helped a few people get NVDA running. I think it was version 0.5 at the time. 2. All throughout high school the blind school had hilariously old computers running a six-year-old version of JAWS. I basically ran my own portable software suite with NVDA as the screen reader. I can confirm it ran much, much better than JAWS ever has ... and possibly ever will.
