Guido van Rossum: I am definitely not looking forward to an AI-driven future. I’m not worried about AI wanting to kill us all, but I see too many _people_ without ethics or morals getting enabled to do much more damage to society with less effort...
I hope that Python’s legacy will reflect its spirit of grassroots and worldwide collaboration based on equity and respect rather than power and money, and of enabling “the little guy” to code up dream projects.

I wrote up a post about my recent adventures with #music #selfhosting. Enjoy! I'd like to acknowledge here main heroes without which this wouldn't be possible:
- @yunohost
- @navidrome_releases #tempo #feishin
- @musicbrainz @ListenBrainz #picard Big thanks to all people contributing to these projects - you're the best! https://wasi.ovh/yachay/posts/2026/hosting_music/

"After all, the prime advantage to accumulating as much money as possible is freedom from having to listen to other people. The richer you are, the fewer people there are who can thwart your will. ...
But wait, it gets even worse! Hurting other people is often a great way to get even more rich. So the richer you get, the more insulated you are from consequences for hurting other people, and the more you hurt other people, the richer you get."

"...most frequently mentioned as supermajors are ExxonMobil, Shell, TotalEnergies, BP, and Chevron with Eni and ConocoPhillips...
As a group, the supermajors control around 6% of global oil and gas reserves. Conversely, 88% of global oil and gas reserves are controlled by the OPEC cartel and state-owned oil companies, primarily located in the Middle East"
So basically, it's all OPEC...

"It is in the nature of the system that companies are not necessarily driven to make wise decisions; they are driven to make profitable ones. If using cocaine is profitable, a company will mandate the use of cocaine. Personally, I would not design an entire economic system around this principle, but sadly nobody asked my opinion on how the world should work."

Small update, #selfhosting #music works like charm!
On #android I've switched to #tempus installed via @IzzyOnDroidOrg repo through @fdroidorg
It's updated regularly and more customizable that original #tempo app
My wife started to use it and for her
#android #Auto works, but you'll have to install the version with Google blobs from https://github.com/eddyizm/tempus/
Once she starts using something it means it's quite user friendly, so imho it's safe recommendation for everyone :)

@JigmeDatse @codemonkeymike sometimes getting unofficial battery replacement can be worth the gamble. I got mine from AliExpress, Amazon or eBay. Did it 3 times over the years and they survived for over 2-3 years. The cost usually is around 20-30€

The downside of adult offloading is people get less sharp. The downside of adolescents growing up delegating to AI is a generation that was never sharp to begin with. Protecting the space our children need to develop the foundational skills of thinking is now a non-negotiable.

@mdziemann@genomic.social makes sense, consumer CPUs are optimized for single-threaded performance with turbo boost (higher frequency, often over 5GHz) when only single core is used. This is also possible because longer task is assigned to different core every few seconds (to spread thermal load across different parts of the CPU). Running 2 or more tasks lowers max frequency.
Enabling turbo boost in server CPUs makes little sense due to thermal constraints and higher load (rarely single core is used in HPC).

Even assuming a very generous profit margin of 10 percent per token, that would mean that token consumption between now and 2030 would need to grow by 50,000–100,000x. I guess current solution is to create "AI powered" social networks where agents "talk" to reach other... Only who would pay for that?!

"Prezes OSGE uważa, że budowa w tym miejscu czterech reaktorów BWRX-300, w sprawdzonej technologii GE Vernova Hitachi, daje szansę na rozwój przemysłu w regionie."

Przecież to koncept, chyba żaden SMR jeszcze nie działa komercyjnie... Pierwsze plany to początek lat 2030, raczej połowa, czyli za 10 lat dopiero...

@dawid@social.craftknight.com w Hiszpanii można kupić nowy Pixel 10a poniżej 400€ (w lutym wyprzedawali 9a za 309€). Od ub roku używam @GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social na 9a, jest rewelacyjny! Z istotnych aplikacji nie działa tylko Google Pay, a alternatywy (np Curve) nie udało mi się aktywować ani razu.
Podejrzewam, że Pixel 7-8a będzie działał podobnie, nie różnią się znacznie sprzętowo od kilku lat...
Polecam!

"We also once helped someone who posted a cry for help. He was talking about ending his life. Someone reported his post to see if we could help, and we did. Every once in a while I check on his account. He’s still there, posting cool stuff. I like to think we played a role in that."

@jkottke@saturation.social thanks, I'm going to reduce my activity on #WhatsApp aiming at deleting my last #meta account in a few weeks/months time.

@sebastian@mastodon.com.pl o super, że też świętujesz. Nie wiem czy wiesz, ale to święto narodziło się w Barcelonie ok 100 lat temu. W Katalonii jest bardzo celebrowane - tutaj nazywają to St Jordi i tradycyjnie ludzie obdarowują się książkami i różami. Legenda jest świetna: księżniczka, smok, rycerz na białym koniu i róże wyrastające z krwi smoka. I niekoniecznie kończy się ślubem i "żyli długo i szczęśliwie". Nasza córka ją uwielbia. Polecam!

@mzdravkov@mastodon.green we've observed that in all runs, usually a few % of reads, sometimes over 10%. When you plot raw signals, you'll see strange stretches similar to homopolymer... we haven't observe anything like this in rna002, only in rna004.
my working hypothesis it that's because of helicase #stalling specific to new #RNA #helicase variant used in #rna004

"Anthropic’s frontier cyber model cannot compromise a properly patched, properly configured target. It cannot operate against OT. It wins where defenses are absent and loses where they are present. That is the signature of an accelerated junior security tester, not an unprecedented new threat.
A tool that can only compromise unpatched, unmonitored, undefended systems is a better explanation of what’s going on in the Anthropic report, using their own words."

@mzdravkov@mastodon.green i don't think it's sequence specific, those weird signals just get basecalled preferentially as AAG or other sequences, which is another issue. Have a look at raw signals
