I still wear my "crypto means cryptography" t-shirt semi-regularly.

We got our cat’s ashes yesterday and the vet labeled them aggressive 🤣🤣🤣
The tech who helped us was like I’m so sorry we were supposed to take that off
I was like no I know what he was like, this is a perfect way to honor him. Spicy to the end 💜
There is a significant batch of material I’ve drawn on that is not readily accessible unless one pays for it. I have had the privilege of generous research funding in the past few years. Such funding allows me to buy books and computers. I also believe the funding should be used to purchase art, writings, and music from fediverse members....
detrans . ai is, or was, a site offering chatbot assisted detransition
anyway awful systems, who love you and support you all, fucked with the site and broke it and it's still down as i write this
eat shit lol
@scottjenson
I would go for Gemma 4 12B QAT or Qwen 3.5 9B fine tuned for coding.
For Mac you can even try Bonsai 27B (which is basically Qwen 3.6 27B quantized to Q2_0)
@nicolaottomano Helpful thank you! A previous reply said that whle they work, they are significantly slower. I can happily accept 2-5x slow down speed but if it's 20x slower, then it feels like I'd need to wait.
In my experience running models locally, the smaller models often run much faster than the bigger ones (as there is so much less swapping) I'm just hoping a small model gets "good enough"
Can you comment on speed? I'm running an M2 mac but I'm willing to get a new M5.

Another sunny #Caturday and somebody is thoroughly enjoying his compound.

I get the impression that there are people who follow me just to check whether I’m posting things about which they disapprove.
@mattblaze your impression is wrong™.

Wake up, scroll back in the timeline until everything is in German.
It is so full on what is going on in the US, with leaders over the world following these fascists.
They are in the process of categorising any kind of leftist activism or even discourse as terrorism. They have already jailed someone for moving zines; conflate anti-genocide protests with antisemitism; consider being "anti-tech" to be terrorism, so watch out with your dangerous criticism of "AI", data centres and mass surveillance peddlers.
Seymour Cray was like Linus, perhaps not coincidentally.
No one was *ever* "That Seymour? Salt of the earth."
More like "He was a gaping asshole, look at this computer though."
PS I am old
@emilymbender Alas, Uni of Glasgow does not seem to include access to this... 😭
@FaithfullJohn preprint link in the next post in my original thread!
Screenshots during yesterday's #Berlin #Reticulum meetup at X-Hain!
Thanks to everyone who joined! It was fun!
We shared about core concepts, some deeper understanding of tech. bits of RNS, new nodes were deployed, reticulous demo by its author Rop, first LoRa-only packets TX/RX for some, many ideas and projects emerged!
Can't wait for next one (consensus= 'in about 1month')

(shots taken when we understood that in network visualiser of MeshchatX, blue nodes prob. means "more than 1hop away", after we realized one LoRa interface on one node was left NOT as "Access Point", therefore relaying announces from its other interfaces, ie. "The Internet(tm)")

@jz on the 5th of August there is the meetup of @freifunk_berlin . A reminder in case you don't want it to coincide. I am interested in both initiatives.
With DNS things out of the way, I'm gonna play with Aerogramme a little, see if I can use it for my stack (replacing dovecot).
It's EUPL-licensed (yay), by Deuxfleurs, makers of Garage (also yay), stores mail on Garage instead of the filesystem (also yay), encrypted (whee).
Very promising.
IT'S WEEKEND BEN, BITCHES!!

@TheBreadmonkey for one glorious moment there was a dung beetle who saw their dreams come true!
Régulièrement j'entends des gens de droite dire que la gauche confonds stock et flux en comparant le revenu (régulier) des travailleurs et le patrimoine des milliardaires
Souvent en argumentant que les actions des milliardaires ne valent rien s'ils les vendent d'un coup.
Sauf que cela ignore le fait que les riches utilisent la valeur de leurs actions pour obtenir des prêts après des banques.
Ces actions see transforment alors en argent réel...
Ne vous laissez pas berner : les milliardaires sont des parasites et ne devraient pas exister
Ce qui m'amène néanmoins à une question : comment remboursent-ils leur emprunt ?

@thelr my posts may not always meet your preferences. You can live with it, unfollow me, mute me, or block me depending on how much that bothers you.
I often make threads in real time, basically thinking out loud. I don’t always know where they’re going. Sorry.
