@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha! I find it funny what brain autocorrects can come up with. :-)

@sorenpeter@darch.dk

“A minimalist social network powered by plain text files”

My brain keeps shortening this to “a socialist network …” and then jumps to “uhh, large parts of the US won’t like this” … 🤦🤪

@bender@twtxt.net I reviewed my solution and it’s pretty much spot on! 🤣 the order of magnitude performance is anywhere between 1-10ms

@prologic@twtxt.net I wouldn’t know! :-)

@bender@twtxt.net I currently use the mixstral and codeastral models. Both open source and run just fine on my personal machines.

Bye bye Angsana! See you again next year hopefully 🤞

@bender@twtxt.net are one of my assumptions off?

@sorenpeter@darch.dk@darch.dk It is actually allowed though 🤣

@johanbove@johanbove.info You are also welcome to use and/or borrow from twtxt2html 👌

Added TwtHash hashes to every message on my personal Twtxt HTML renderer. Code is not yet ready for prime-time. Need to work out some kinks still.

@eapl@eapl.mx if your point is to state that the extension is redundant, why “twt.txt”, and not “twtxt”?

yep, my point is that the txt part is redundant for twtxt

Also a .txt file could be in any format, for example those plans from John Carmak are stored now as .txt -> https://github.com/ESWAT/john-carmack-plan-archive/blob/master/by_day/johnc_plan_19960218.txt
Although being named .plan was expected for them to work, if I recall correctly -> http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/P/plan-file.html

good luck with the doughnut on a stick in a URL

You can call it whatever you want, that’s the beauty of it. There is no need to set a “standard” for this. To prove it, I will setup one feed, and name the file “sørenpeter.txt”. 🤭

Less than 30 minutes for Path of Exile II, and the queue of players waiting for the servers to open the gates is now at 22,525. More than 1 million have purchased the early access to the game. It is going to be a rough ride!

[lang=en] Random idea: twtxt.txt files should be named tw.txt instead.

@wbknl@twtxt.net “The shocking untold story of the elite secret society of hackers fighting to protect our freedom – “a hugely important piece of the puzzle for anyone who wants to understand the forces shaping the internet age.” – which edition?

@prologic@twtxt.net 6ms, so extremely slow! :-P

PhD level science questions? (+1)
niftydude an hour ago
A PhD level science question is a question that can only be answered by scientific research and experimentation.

And no, by “research”, I do not mean googling.

Literally the whole point of a scientific PhD is to perform experiments and study to answer a specific research question that no one has looked into yet.

Whilst ChatGPT can probably can answer “PhD-level science questions” with the same generation of plausible bullshit it answers all questions, I very much doubt ChatGPT can answer PhD-level science questions with any sort of accuracy.

It can’t do that without performing experiments (that in some cases might be complex enough to last years).

Just more of the marketing BS silicon valley seems to be full of these days. Remember when California was actually making products that benefited society as well as making money?

OpenAI Releases ‘Smarter, Faster’ ChatGPT - Plus $200-a-Month Subscriptions for ‘Even-Smarter Mode’
Wednesday OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced “12 Days of OpenAI,” promising that “Each weekday, we will have a livestream with a launch or demo…” And sure enough, today he announced the launch of two things:
- “o1, the smartest model in the world. Smarter, faster, and more features (e.g. … ⌘ Read more

@johanbove@johanbove.info Congrats! 🥳 I think it’s only 4 years for me 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Haha! No! Golf biggie 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net Heck yeah, gorgeous! Did you hike up there?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Uuuh, nice! Despite the weather service claiming that it is snowing at this very moment, there is absolutely nothing here.

It just worked fine like nothing had ever happened when I booted my laptop this morning.

… aaand now everything’s white: https://movq.de/v/8ad556e1c8/ Let’s see how long it lasts.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com This is as fog-free as it gets at the moment, although it just started snowing a lot: https://movq.de/v/ec96db0f90/ Same tree, less dramatic effect. 😂

I have been on Twtxt for five years straight now. Hurray me.

@prologic@twtxt.net which models do you prefer, and what made you prefer them?

@prologic@twtxt.net believe it or not, those green leaves and vines are eatable! Nice view, mate. Love the skies and mountains at the horizon!

@prologic@twtxt.net Oh, nice! I can hear the cicadas. 😃

Nice view from up on the mountain side 😎

@prologic@twtxt.net Yep. 💯

I like to think of it like this. It takes approximately five months of power, relatively speaking to power, the human brain vs. multiple megawatts hell even multiple gigawatts of power to power even some of the most modest and yet surprisingly complex AI models.

There is something about human intelligence that we don’t quite yet understand, and it isn’t in the complexity or increasing the number of parameters to the order of billions 🤣

In other words, I don’t think we can realistically even come close to emulating, emotion, depth, and creativity

@movq@www.uninformativ.de This random comment from another Slashdot article pretry much sums up my view on so-called “AI”:

Elevator music
Tony Isaac 20 minutes ago
If you derive your income from producing “elevator music” you might indeed be in danger of losing that income to AI. Also, bumper music–music used to fill otherwise silent gaps between segments of a podcast or radio show–might be a candidate for AI takeover.
But if you produce real music–music with depth and emotion–your job isn’t going anywhere.
How can I be so sure? I’ve seen the kind of code AI writes. I’ve seen the kind of prose AI writes. Both are amazing, for something computer-generated. But neither would be mistaken for the work of someone skilled or proficient in the art. Music won’t be any different.

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net da fuq?! Already?! 😱 Who’s pumping this shit?! 🤯

@bender@twtxt.net I see, thanks. 🤔

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com That was exactly the idea. 😀 (Yeah, there might be people who consider AI stuff “art”. On some level, I think that it is art, but not in the same way as a human being creating something.)

Bitcoin Reaches and Surpasses $100k USD
Bitcoin just broke $100,000 USD for the first time and reached as high as $104k, and is now sitting at $102,857 at the time of this writing.
Slashdot was pretty early on Bitcoin. Thoughts, nocoiners?

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net why are so many banging on against Bruce Perens in the comments of this Slashdot article? 🤔 what has he done?

@bender@twtxt.net Ahh yeah that’ll do it 🤣 I couldn’t find a reason for the martial law myself 🤦‍♂️

@bender@twtxt.net What do you mean?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de there is no appeal.

Ask Bruce Perens Your Questions About How He Hopes to Get Open Source Developers Paid
Bruce Perens wrote the original Open Source definition back in 1997, and then co-founded the Open Source Initiative with Eric Raymond in 1998. But after resigning from the group in 2020, Perens is now diligently developing an alternative he calls “Post Open” to “meet goals that Open Source fails at today” … ⌘ Read more

@movq@www.uninformativ.de IMO, I believe it is all in the quality of the client (mobile, and web). Also, you don’t have to hunt/pick for “instances”, which arguably presents less friction.
