    What is the most active/popular fediverse project? in c/fediverse@lemmy.world
    [–] 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (4 children)

    I liked piefed until I learnt about the hidden filters. But still, I see their point. There are dozens of lefties here! Dozens!!

    Edit: thanks rimu for your reply. I was unaware of that post. Piefed is my fav again :) Somehow I was under the impression that piracy comms were banned.

    Nuru? They renamed postmarketOS just a few days ago, can't remember how's called now. But it's compatible with non-flagship devices. Else you're into other OSes that are trying to be competitive in this ecocidal market ;•\

    Tactile screen was dreamed by TV. Mobiles covered that. On the technical standpoint, arm power consumption and having music, camera, gps, etc. all resonated with online/! digitalization of our selves. So, yes. I concur!

    • Someone ‘Torturing’ LLMs in a Robot Prison Has Triggered the Dumbest Debate in 'AI' Yet in c/technology@lemmy.world

    Lol! This is great. I have some friends that "spontaneously" got interested into human-like robots and the other day shared with me a video of a extremely fake MMA fight in Texas that was human vs. robot

    Yet, they claimed it looked real. To which I replied the robot has no pain in their programming and even if it had, how are you supposed to win by submission if they can happily lose an arm and continue...

    So, this story and the reactions it sowed are brilliant example to me: we need to stop anthropomorphizing technological advances like robots and LLMs!

    Of course it's a meme and yet I want to comment this. Because I disagree with the premise. Your first responsability is to yourself, taking care of your needs. And resting might as well be one of those.

    The contagion of fear (bcantrill.dtrace.org)
     

    [...] We should heed the wisdom of the late Carl Sagan that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence: the claims from Coxon and his ilk are the most extraordinary a technologist can make, and we must demand evidence commensurate with the claims. That said, we should not expect the public to understand LLMs, critical infrastructure, bioweapons, extinction biology, etc. — that burden must lie with those making the claim. The lesson that I learned (shamefully) decades ago is that domain experts, by way of their expertise, implicitly hold the public’s trust — and we must not abuse it. It is incumbent upon us to be circumspect in our claims — and maximally so when raising the alarm.

    Führerscheinprüfung als Ausländer (programming.dev)
     

    Hallo, ich bereite mich gerade auf die theoretische Führerscheinprüfung vor. Hat jemand vielleicht ein PDF oder ein E-Book? Die Fahrschule hat mir Unterlagen auf Deutsch über eine App geschickt, die ich nicht so einfach übersetzen kann (es wären 300 Screenshots). Deshalb benutze ich für diese Nachricht einen Übersetzer. Die Prüfung selbst werde ich in meiner Muttersprache ablegen. Vielen Dank im Voraus!

    Open weight models reviewed (wagtail.org)
     

    Apparently Gemma 4 (by deepmind) are very energy-efficient for their capabilities.

    The post itself seems to recommend a company (neuralwatt.com) but it's unrelated to project wagtail (an open source CMS made with django) so I consider it legit, they're just vouching for this new approach that shows users their ecological footprint basically.

    (Of course, running these at a homelab is possible. hence the relevance of this info for the community)

    tangled: The next-generation social coding platform (blog.tangled.org)
     

    I've just found the project. And it seems very interesting take. I am adding a link to their blog entry discussion on a system to combat LLMs abuse via a web of trust.

    From their site:

    We envision a place where developers have ownership of their code, communities can freely self-govern and most importantly, coding can be social and fun again.

    AT Protocol enables federated code-collaboration. Submit pull-requests or bug-reports to any repository hosted on any server.

    OpenClaw Emperors (www.chinatalk.media)
     

    [...]

    OpenClaw [AI] simultaneously addresses two massive psychological needs in China today: for the employed, it’s a perceived “cure” for overwork; for the unemployed, it’s a new opportunity outside of the usual delivery and ride-hailing grind.
