You've probably heard that "we are stardust," but this graphic breaks it down further & tells you what kind of stars your dust came from--and which elements didn't come from stars at all.

This periodic table depicts the primary source on Earth for each element: from the Big Bang, massive stars, white-dwarf supernovae, merging neutron stars, low-mass stars, or other processes. In cases where two sources contribute fairly equally, both appear.

Dear lovely #PHP community, what do you think about Mago? I've recently read about it in PHP Annotated by Roman from JetBrains. Seems a potentially good replacement for PHPCS and maybe PHP-CS-Fixer. Is it time or not yet? mago.carthage.software/

Mago - A comprehensive suite of PHP tooling inspired by Rust’s approach, providing parsing, linting, formatting, and more through a unified CLI and library interface.

@menelion Hey thanks for the feedback! BTW, my rant about accessibility testers acting like ADA inspectors was completely unrelated to this, totally different thing.

The phone numbers are necessary in order to verify the person you are talking to, since anyone can set whatever name they want in their profile. Bad actors could use this to impersonate people you know.

I agree that it’s annoying though from the screenreader perspective, and we’ve gotten a fair bit of feedback to filter them out. We’ve been able to balance the concerns on mobile by including the number in the custom action hint when you swipe down from the bubble (E.G. “view contact info for +1 (202) 555-1111”) It’s more complicated for desktop though.

As a best practice, you are supposed to convey any information that is relevant to the screenreader for it/the user to decide how to handle it. I think this is an area where it makes more sense for a screenreader add-on or script perform this function so it is under the user’s control.

All that to say, it’s tricky, but I think there is a path forward here that will give the users what they want without security compromises.

Guys check out this new project, it's a cross platform app that lets you experiment and train open source LLMs without any code. It's based on Electron and open source, but I haven't yet looked at accessibility. github.com/transformerlab/tran…

The irony: OpenAI—which faces multiple lawsuits for using content without permission—accuses China's DeepSeek of basically copying from ChatGPT to train its AI models. pcmag.com/news/openai-deepseek…

“Nobody asked for NFTs or the fucking Metaverse. Nobody asked for lying chatbots instead of getting to reach an actual support person that could solve your problems.”

And:“…people are challenging the notion that we all have to do AI now. Because we don’t. It’s a choice. A choice that mostly benefits monopolists.”

Nvidia RTX 5080 Reviews Fail to Impress Gamers
"That’s due to the RTX 5080 failing to surpass the RTX 4090 and only offering slight improvements over the RTX 4080 and RTX 4080 Super."
(Still no talk of whether it runs less hot than the prior generation, so far none of these gaming sites covered that one)

Ignore the title, but look inside. I think it's an interesting point of view. Trump inauguration: The real reason Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos support Trump | Vox vox.com/future-perfect/395646/…

The broligarchs have a vision for the new Trump term. It’s darker than you think.

For billionaires inspired by science fiction, it’s about using crypto and network states to undermine democracy — not just lower taxes and friendly regulations.

#deepseekr1 Pro ty, jako jsem já, co tu online verzi nezkoušeli. Tohle je fantastické. Podobá se to mimochodem mé zkušenosti s lokální verzí LLM DeepSeek-R1: Tendence přemýšlet nahlas o tom, co "uživatel" (ano, ono to o vás myslí nahlas ve třetí osobě) chce:

"DeepSeek-R1 did not rush to a conclusion. Instead, it began to deliberate — openly, methodically, and exhaustively. It did not simply think of a number but dissected the task with a surgeon's precision and a philosopher's hesitation. Each clause of the instruction became a branch on the tree of reasoning, and every ambiguity was an opportunity to explore possibilities, reevaluate steps, and entertain contingencies."

"“Don’t overcomplicate it,” the machine echoed as if repeating these words might anchor it against the tides of overthinking. Yet, even as it sought simplicity, it spiraled into complexity. “A bit of a challenge,” it pondered. What, after all, constitutes a challenge? A number that is mathematically rare? One positioned oddly in the range of 1 to 100? Perhaps a prime number, or one nestled between decoys?"

I signed up for Codeberg last September but forgot to share it here 😅
codeberg.org/pauloxnet

I see that other members of the Python and Django community have signed up in the past few months 🎉

I tried to follow them all but if I missed you let me know here or follow me there so I can reciprocate ✅

Speaking of projects, besides django-allauth, do you know of any projects that have migrated to Codeberg that are worth following? 🐍

I'm really looking forward to seeing how the EchoVision Glasses from Agiga develops. I've pre-ordered and am hoping that they fulfill their promise... Read the alt text they shared with me in the alt text of this image since it wasn't in their newsletter. Don't forget to check out the interview I had with them, too!

What's something I'm excited about for 2025? The EchoVision Glasses from Agiga! Shows an image of the Echo Vision glasses. From Agiga: The AGIGA smart glasses combine sleek, modern aesthetics with practical functionality, mirroring the appearance of traditional eyewear. The frames feature a minimalist black finish for a refined, professional look. A discreet front-facing camera is seamlessly integrated into the upper corner of the lens frame. The slightly thicker temples house the internal components and are subtly branded with the AGIGA logo on one side. Magnetic connectors at the top edges of the frames enable attachment of sunglass lenses. Designed with ergonomics in mind, the glasses are lightweight and comfortable, ensuring they are suitable for extended daily use.
