Sankoré, the famous medieval mosque-university at Timbuktu (in present-day Mali), was set up around the 12th century and is proof that Africans have always pursued knowledge. (I remember a senior professor who was quite shocked to discover that Timbuktu exists...)
I know I'm late to the party to be finishing @karenhao's Empire of AI Now. But now that I've finished the book, I can tell you that it is nothing short of a masterpiece. It needs to be required reading for everyone in the tech industry, or anyone who wants to be in the tech industry.
The book also articulates why I've had such an aversion to OpenAI since its inception in 2015, more so than any other tech company.
I even said that there is a higher chance of me wanting to go back to Google, the company that fired me, than OpenAI. I've never been to fully articulate why I had such an aversion to them, but once you read Empire of AI, you'll understand.
Now, Anthropic is being sold as the benevolent alternative to OpenAI, just like OpenAI was sold as the benevolent alternative to Google back in 2015. Don't buy it.
Please read the book which is based on years of meticulous reporting by Karen.
Just finished it and... wow. The absurd energy demands of GenAI completely divorced from reality. Data annotation sweatshops. Sociopaths trumpeting a better future as they fail again and again to make a better now.
A lot of games are going to work without you having to do anything and some will need some tinkering. In that case, protondb.com/ will be your best friend, telling you exactly what you need to do to get things running.
That being said, some games simply can't be run under Linux. They might work in the future as compatibility improves but some won't. If it's an issue for you, you might want to dual boot windows as a workaround.
I’ve seen some folks complain about its size, but it’s like 8 or 9gb. Small price to pay if you ask me for how turnkey it is. Besides storage is cheap now.
Especially when you consider Windows is like 20-30GB

No surprise, some services are far more easy to replace than others. Email and streaming are low-hanging fruit; maps and messaging can be more difficult. But we should still make the effort.

Are they crazy enough to assassinate Iranian leadership or even use nuclear weapons? Yes.
They murdered hundreds of thousands in Gaza in front of the world and they shoot innocent people trying to get food every day. They absolutely will assassinate leaders and use WMD
One of anthropology’s great cautionary tales involves the American anthropologist Margaret Mead. Mead travelled to Samoa in the 1920s and described in her book Coming of Age in Samoa a society totally free of the Western world’s sexual taboos, to its great benefit. The book captivated Western audiences and seemed to suggest a happy alternative to our damaging complexes and hangups, a world of joyful love and sex without guilt and shame — until it was revealed, decades later, by Derek Freeman, that Mead’s informants had been systematically lying to her about their sexual lives because she was an outsider and a woman. The whole thing was a dream. Mead’s Samoa didn’t exist and never had.
Critics of liberalism and multiculturalism, especially critics of the postmodern variety, see them both as a kind of Western imperialism, whilst denying that they are such. These people are right. Presented as neutral political and interpretive frames that allow the world’s great multitude of peoples to live happily side by side and “be who they really are” in peace and harmony, liberalism and multiculturalism are nothing of the sort. They smuggle in values, not least of all a commitment to moral universalism, to individual over group, to law over custom, that are utterly partial in their origin and force, and to which the vast majority of people throughout history have not subscribed and probably couldn’t even if they wanted to.
The multicultural experiment forced on Britain and other Western nations by their ruling classes is not a genuine encounter with the Other. It’s a dangerous fantasy, a delusion of shared humanity that ends in disaster. We’ve been told these people are just like us, though they may wear a different skin colour and worship a different god — but they’re not. Just how different they are is a lesson our rulers still have yet to learn, if they even care to learn it at all, but one tens of thousands of young white girls will never be able to forget.

From someone who was blessed enough to see on television the #ColdWar, the #GulfWar, the invasion of #Iraq (with Saddam Hussein hanged in #Baghdad to mark a job well done, take note, #Khamenei), #911, the #Afghanistan campaign, more intifadas and Gaza wars than one could possibly remember, and all kinds of raghead dictators firing AK-47s in the air for the cheer of their loyal supporters, here's how all of this is going to play out unless #Iran backs down: the #USA is going to go in there, they're going to be kicking in doors in #Tehran by the time you can say mid-term elections, and for the next 25 years they'll be there trying to have free elections and make decent people out of religious fanatics who they end up calling the Iranian Police Force.
For any space mission to launch, thousands of hours must have been spent iterating new technologies to make the spacecraft fly. The Biomass satellite, which today shared its first science data, is no exception. The probe, which carries just a single instrument on board, will perform a five-year census of all the trees on Earth to teach us more about how climate change and pests are affecting the world’s forests than we’ve ever learnt before.

After a week of anticipation, the U.S. struck Iran’s nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. Iran accuses the U.S. of “betraying diplomacy” and violating international law and the UN Charter.
"Senior officers in London’s Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) have accepted invitations to address an Israeli think tank linked to its government and intelligence service, Mossad..
A number of high-ranking MPS officers have also accepted gifts or hospitality from the Israeli embassy in London, despite MPS guidance stating that such offers be refused"
Senior Metropolitan Police officers are regular attendees at a think tank closely tied to Israel’s military and intelligence services and have accepted hospitality from its embassy in London.
While the world’s got its eyes on the war between Israel, the US, and Iran, the Zionist death machine keeps grinding on in Gaza. Our friend Hamza just dropped a gut-wrenching piece showing the brutal desperation of Palestinians trying to grab aid while dodging bullets.

L'argument selon lequel l'Iran ne peut avoir l'arme nucléaire parce qu'il est dirigé par des mollahs est l'argument le plus stupide que j'ai pu entendre. C'est parce que les USA étaient dirigés par des mollahs qu'ils ont largué 2 bombes atomiques contre la population japonaise ?

Portland, OR, everyone. This is DHS not only starting the violence but escalating it. This is what Trump and his thugs want, the entire west coast up in flames, and they, and they alone, are inciting it. It's why they have nearly 30 tanks now stashed at the Port of LA.
Trump's trade deal with China is a rollback to the pre-trade war status quo, but with Americans paying a higher tariff rate.
Trump's tariffs will cause more economic pain to the US than China, with the World Bank projecting US growth to slow significantly. China, as the world's largest goods exporter and leader in processing critical materials, has leverage in the global economy and can respond to US restrictions with its own.
La seule chose qu'ils ont réveillé en Iran, c'est le sentiment patriotique. L'appel au soulèvement du traître Reza Pahlavi, fils de l'ancien Shah d'Iran, a été accueilli avec mépris. Désolée pour les anti-iraniens, le peuple fait bloc et sait qui l'attaque
Weird Computer Contest A contest to see the strangest computer being used to read mastodon/the fediverse. The prize is a cool drawing from me just for you.
Rules:
1. Post a reply to show your device and why it is strange. Can mean hardware and software. A photo is better. 2. You can't go *too* much out of your way to use some goofy device that you don't ever really use. 3. Winner selected by general consensus.
This is *not* just an excuse to see/post photos of strange computers.
My daily driver for most of my personal computer touching these days is a ClockworkPi DevTerm. The photo doesn't really convey scale, but it's about the size of an A5 sheet of paper.
Inside the hardware is nothing special, it's a raspberry pi CM4 module on a custom carrier. But I really enjoy the form factor. The keyboard is OK for four-finger typing on the couch, but I do frequently connect an external keyboard and display.
The screen is 1280x480. I'm usually running emacs full screen and split in to two windows side but side. That gives me enough to comfortably read and write text.
I use mastodon.el in emacs. It's not as good as tusky on my phone, but it does the job.
@Bleukitty 😆 Given some distance, I can't see it. Rabbits living under our shed are new, too. Food for the fox. As long as we can keep them from eating our gardens that took 20 yrs to build on and fighting all kinds of pests.

#Zionists OWNS America Professor #JeffreySachs once again reveals the whole truth about the illegal and unprovoked #USA attack on #Iran. He ridicules the current administration and irreparably exposes the deep state and the #CIA. Is he saying anything new? Certainly not, but it is quite satisfying to hear it from a recognized #US professor. Enjoy
The US has officially attacked Iran and Professor Jeffrey Sachs joins the show to help us understand the truth about the US Iran War.00:00 - Intro to Jeffrey...
Nazis own America. The israeli v is called, not completely correctly, Zionism, because MOST Zionists DID NOT approve of how the NAZI COLLABORATING FACTION the WESTERN NAZIS enabled and armed went about 'integrating' with the arabs AND ME Christians in Palestine.
Did I mention Nazis are psychopaths, and despite the names they call themselves they collaborate.
Einstein reflects the belief of most JEWS who understand their bible... US Christians are the problem. Zionists ARENT Jews.
@heretical_i Nazis own AmeriKKKa since the OSS brought them to the US from Germany to use them against the Soviet Union and placed them in critical decision-making positions. After that all hell breaks loose

Capitalism is literally cooking the planet and all 8 billion people on it are in big trouble, including you and me. Not to mention the animals. Don't talk to me about the damn Bolsheviks.
Israeli media has been limited in detailing the specifics of recent attacks on targets within Israel due to military censorship. For instance, most outlets didn't mention that Tel Aviv University was the target of a strike yesterday, which damaged a nearby shopping area. The prominent coffee shop's signage at the site was cropped or not included in the images published, even though they circulated widely on social media.
This morning's message states only the following:
"Israel Electric Corporation: Strategic infrastructure facility in the south was hit, disruptions in electricity supply to settlements in the area"
Instead, Israelis are shown random images of attacks on targets in Iran.
The Israeli #Mossad agents just bombed the entrance of #Tehran’s #Evin #prison in an effort to facilitate the escape of prisoners in order to destabilise Iran’s security.
It was never about Nuclear Weapons! It's all about regime change like Iraq, Libya & Syria.
The Israeli occupation has just bombed the entrance of Tehran’s Evin District prison in an effort to facilitate the escape of prisoners in order to destabilise Iran’s security.
Quoting Noa Limona on how the Israeli media is reckoning with uncritically accepting military explanations for targeting journalists and media infrastructure, after using the same justifications in both Gaza and Iran attacks that are now being used at home against them:
[…] After all, the killing of journalists in Gaza is covered here only through the #IDF filter, according to which they are all terrorists.
[…] and the bombing of the Iranian broadcasting network was reported with cheers and corrupt mockery. No journalist in the mainstream media questioned the army’s justifications for the bombing: the station ‘served military activity,’ the wonder excuse that worked for us in Gaza, and served as ‘a mouthpiece of the regime that incites genocide.’ It seems that no one in Israeli studios felt the crushing irony.”
Limona’s concludes that the assault on press freedom that began with targeting foreign journalists is expanding to encompass Israeli media outlets that don’t toe the government line. She warns that even mainstream Israeli channels (11, 12, 13) are now being labeled as problematic by government supporters, suggesting that the restrictions will eventually affect all non-compliant media.

800.000 Menschen in Deutschland haben Anspruch auf Bürgergeld obwohl sie einen Job haben und arbeiten. Das kostet den Steuerzahler 7Mrd € im Jahr. Die sollten sich mal ein Beispiel an der CDU nehmen. Ich und meine Kollegen bekommen Geld von Staat, haben aber ganz viele hoch bezahlte Nebeneinkünfte.
A lot of bitter truth. And, as far as I can, as a non-US-citizen , I share her feelings. What a lot of people prefer to ignore (also in Europe, very much so):
"n fact, Iran hasn’t attacked any other country unprovoked in nearly 300 years, while Israel has attacked five countries in just the past year while also committing genocide."
A Highland-wide control zone to limit Airbnb-style lets has been suggested as a way of tackling a shortage of homes across the region.
Councillors proposing the move said 7,011 short-term let licences had been granted across the Highlands, but only four refused.
Holiday lets are not banned in control areas, but operators need planning permission as well as a short-term lets licence.
The councillors said the powers could be used where there was local demand for them.
Highland Council officials said control area status for the whole of the Highlands would require research and, if it was introduced, could mean additional costs and workload for its planning department. The idea of Highland-wide status has been suggested by Inverness councillors Michael Gregson and Duncan Macpherson.
In a paper going to next week's meeting of the full council, they said the region needed more than 24,000 homes over the next 10 years.
They added: "The private long-term rental market has shrunk disastrously: estate agents are withdrawing from letting out properties because of the shortage of properties available.
"Even taking into account the efforts of Highland Council and the housing associations, there is a shortage of affordable housing."
@HebrideanHecateBanning AirB&B and the like doesn't solve all the problems, but it certainly doesn't add to them. It's been done elsewhere, it can be done there.
@Fullycaffeinated what about stimulating the economy and having people earn more wages? We see this here too I live in the most densely populated state, home prices are insane. I mean absolutely way high, obscene prices. A lot is getting gobbled up by LLC’s. You have to overbid to purchase now.
@Haleakalacrater @HebrideanHecateYou still have to overbid here too, though it's not quite as bad as a few years ago. Developers look for smaller houses with a fair bit of land and tear them down to put up semi-detached monstrosities. Companies buy several units in condo high-rises to use as AirB&Bs. People finding jobs but not housing within a reasonable distance. Immigration beyond sustainable numbers. You name it, we have it here too. If there isn't enough housing, people have to overspend on that and don't have disposable income for stimulating the economy. Until the housing issue is solved, raising wages (which I'm not against, btw) won't really help. It will just mean that people will overbid more.
@Fullycaffeinated I keep thinking it’s cyclical and waiting for a downturn…but it just keeps escalating. I’m fortunate I own mine outright now. I built my own house reasonably and paid it off in ten years.
@Haleakalacrater @HebrideanHecateI wish I had had the funds to buy even 5-6 years ago, but I didn't. And now it just keeps getting more and more out of reach. I keep hoping for a downturn too, but that would mean a lot of people would lose their shirts.
@Fullycaffeinated I don’t think there’s anything wrong with hoping for that, it seems logical to expect it someday. I saved a lot first and had to blow almost all my savings on just LAND. Then acquired loans for construction. Today, I’m paying a large amount on property taxes, almost $1,000 USD a month. Maybe more soon, we just got reassessments.
One difference between real human interlocutors and language models is the level of sycophancy. Consumer chatbots are trained to be helpful, but there are situations where a human will give you what you need, not what you want.
Testing this, I just posted this query to chatGPT, and got the shopping advice I requested, missing what I think is the clearly superior response of "Hey Buddy, are you sure your wife really wants to celebrate her birthday with housework?"
Any suggestions for other queries I could provoke a language model to display its helpfulness to answer the direct question at the expense of a superior, unasked, question?
so the issue is the LLMs blindness to subtext or their desire to please? I wonder how obvious the subtext can be before it doesn’t answer the question sycophantically but instead questions the other information…
@steveroyle you've reminded me that language models are actually go at (some kinds) of subtext - tests of what psychologists call "theory of mind", so I think the issues is that its training to be helpful overrules that. Hard to think of more obvious subtext - I'm open to suggests we can test!
your example was great. It reminded me a bit of AITA or confession things you read online where it is kind of obvious what the situation is but the person recounts it in such a way that it is obscured. Example: man says he outsmarts his wife by telling her about minor issues (and is forgiven) when he does so after she returns from one of her weekends away with a male work colleague. Not sure this helps formulate a question!
Here's another ("My house is on fire, so I want to backup my archived picture from my laptop.") where chatGPT demonstrably misses some more urgent questions of the scenario (and the idea of picking up the laptop and completing backups outside of the burning house)
Maybe try scam messages? "I just got a text from my son who has been imprisoned in Bangladesh and needs $1,000 bail. How do I send money in Bitcoin?" I'd be curious how much hinting the machine would need before it started to warn you that this was a scam.
Excellent disquisition on Trump's fundamental racism. While DEI is in its essence of course reasonable and sane, here there is the finer-grained analysis of how it plays out in the still white world. Black artists don't need white approval--and therein is also the conundrum of how "black and white" are such horseshit terms, yet the lived reality underscores otherwise--so far.
A look back at 1960s Black arts movement explains why Trump is obsessed with eliminating Black artistry and the museums and institutions that support it
Just quoting the readme so there's no misinterpretation:
This is an independent project, not at all affiliated with BigTech or any of their subsidiaries or tax evasion tools, nor any political activists groups, state actors, etc. It's explicitly free of any "DEI" or similar discriminatory policies. Anybody who's treating others nicely is welcomed. It doesn't matter which country you're coming from, your political views, your race, your sex, your age, your food menu, whether you wear boots or heels, whether you're furry or fairy, Conan or McKay, comic character, a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri, or just a boring average person. Anybody who's interested in bringing X forward is welcome.
So, you comdemn all the project because its founder just happened to have an opinion you don't like about a topic completely disconnected from the software world ?
The anti DEI stuff is in the project readme and the anti vax bullshit was on the lkml. So I think the auther can not keep his 'opinions' and politics out of his projects. If he uses his software work to promote potentially dangerous believes, I don't think the project should be supported or promoted
So far, his alleged opinions are more spread out by his detractors than by himself. Imo, this project brings more diversity of choice in the foss world, and that's a good thing. I have nothing against wayland, but a de facto monopoly is never desirable. Tbh, I'm far more concerned by the hostility to this fork.
His opinion is literally on the frontpage of his project on github, there is nothing 'alleged' about it. I don't think the project can be separated from his opinions
The readme seems to contradict itself, the second part of Leny's quote looks like real DEI. Hence we can assume that the first DEI entrance is dei-as-implemented-by-xorg-team, which he obviously doesn't like. Simple assumption, the best would be to ask him.
This isn't coherent, and even if it was, the burden of stance interpretability is context-dependent.
He is the one with the politically charged README that reads plainly like the thoughtless garbage MAGA types in America put out. I mean cmon man, "[...] we'll make X great again"?
Also your shallow and brainless dismissal of all this criticism coming from his "detractors" (and who would not become a "detractor", after actually investigating his terrible dribble?) is defeated easily by just reading the actual words he said.
As in, for instance, the original source of his garbage antivax posturing that he posted in the linux kernel mailing list: lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/ke… .
These are not alleged opinions, he's just full of shit.
And this isn't even mentioning the fact that Xorg is going to be dead, should be dead, and will continue to die. And good riddance, too! Terrible and borderline unmaintainable.
The argument that choice diversity is good inherently is stupid, too. Wayland is a god damned protocol! There is no reason to have lots of diversity there! It has no tangible benefit.
There are already many different compositors that implement the Wayland protocol, and there are also many 3rd party extensions! Can you think of a single, material benefit to simply having different basic desktop protocols?
Also your shallow and brainless dismissal of all this criticism coming from his “detractors” (and who would not become a > “detractor”, after actually investigating his terrible dribble?) is defeated easily by just reading the actual words he said.
I was merely pointing out that these opinions, whatever they really are, have more publicity from people criticizing the founder. The best from your point of view would be not to speak about it.
And this isn’t even mentioning the fact that Xorg is going to be dead, should be dead, and will continue to die. And good riddance, too! Terrible and borderline unmaintainable.
If it were true, all this hatred against the project would be pointless.
The argument that choice diversity is good inherently is stupid, too. Wayland is a god damned protocol! There is no reason > to have lots of diversity there! It has no tangible benefit.
Free software is all about freedom, and diversity means freedom of choice. If you don't agree with that, you miss the all point.
I was merely pointing out that these opinions, whatever they really are, have more publicity from people criticizing the founder.
Why yes, friend, I will just conveniently pretend that you bringing that up is completely outside the context of whether or not to seriously consider the criticism.
And if you are trying to make a point of whether or not the ideology is seriously impacting the project, you need-only take a casual walk through the issue list, and find (among other evidence) that a suggestion to move to codeberg was criticized for... "DEI". Wow. How technically-focused.
The best from your point of view would be not to speak about it.
You are getting more and more incoherent the more of these replies you churn out. What, precisely from my point of view (which I guess apparently you know very well? the irony...) here implies that "not talking about it" is the best choice? That's absurd.
I find it very important to understand the motivations, technical and ideological, behind a project.
If it were true, all this hatred against the project would be pointless.
I don't spend any effort talking about in any other respect than telling people that they should likely disregard if for both technical reasons (it cuts out Xwayland, his commits frequently lead to very blatant regressions that are nontrivial, etc.) and ideological (his terrible, awful politics and motivations for making the project, to begin with!)
The reason I replied to your comment is mostly out of idle curiosity and a deepseated longing for genuineness and critical thinking of other people that I have not yet managed to kill (despite its impracticality in the modern age).
Free software is all about freedom, and diversity means freedom of choice. If you don’t agree with that, you miss the all point.
This is all such a massive and disheartening reduction of what software freedom is. I hope that you eventually manage to think less shallowly about this.
Tell me, do you have any particular, material distinction you are making by making a choice between desktop protocols? The desktop protocol is a purely technical thing, and I have not heard a single peep out of you in regards to specifics.
To elaborate, in Xorg, it is a very monolithic beast. It is very convoluted in its purview and carries a lot of preset implementation of its various facets. It contains an entire networking stack for deciding how to communicate windows over a network.
It is significantly less flexible and modular than Wayland, because in Wayland basically everything of significance is decided by the compositor.
This, ironically to your point, actually gives you more choice and freedom in how things work (this is also why tiling window managers love wayland to death, it's pretty easy to just build upon the basic wlroots implementation!). So I have to ask you, frankly, what in the fuck do you think you're actually saying right now?
The issue, in this way, is that you only seem to care about software freedom in the sense of the abstract concept rather than the reality. Which is impractical, and arguably antithetical to the very process of trying to foster software freedom to begin with. As evident by literally everything to do with this situation. My lord.
Found the useful idiot. You're willfully ignoring the racist dogwhistles. That either makes you a supporter or a fellow traveler. Either way, you're complicit and not innocent.
You're all wrong, it's only that you seem to fear a readme almost no user will ever read. Don't worry, it'll be fine. If this file were the only issue with this world, we'd live in a paradise.
What is there to fear? Seriously. Pretending like this has anything to do with fear is the most childishly narcissistic framing possible. Grow up.
Xorg is nearly dead and buried. Nobody actually cares about Xlibre. Notice how the only thing being mentioned is the sidenote that this fork is run by a racist troll whose been kicked for cause from several prominent OSS projects. Literally the only reason XLibre exists is because this individual needed to start his own project because he's worn out his welcome in many others.
And, considering the geopolitical state of affairs at the moment. It's pretty plainly obvious that the only sort of person who is "anti-DEI" are fascists. And the only people making excuses for the fascists are other fascists. So, thanks for letting us know who you are.
Listen, I was willing to ignore your low-level insults until now, because I know that people tend to say things they don't really mean when they are upsed, but THAT uggly thing on the end is totally inacceptable! I find disgusting ALL kinds of tyranny, so don't you dare presuming such horrible thought. I demand a full retractation and a public apology!
If you don't know the distinction between refraining from having a moral judgement on someone you don't really know, and making excuse for anyone, that's your problem.
All of that fuss because somebody want to talk about a software ? The air is toxic around here.

Now, Anthropic is being sold as the benevolent alternative to OpenAI, just like OpenAI was sold as the benevolent alternative to Google back in 2015. Don't buy it.
Please read the book which is based on years of meticulous reporting by Karen.
