Rafiki has been recognised as a digital public good by the @dpgalliance

You can now find the Rafiki codebase in the official Digital Public Goods Registry. The DPG Standard isn’t a rubber stamp of approval.

It evaluates nine areas including open licensing, clear ownership, documentation, platform independence, data protection, interoperability standards, accessibility, and whether a product is designed to do no harm.

@farah It was delicious. I would like another, but I have to have steady hands for my pottery class this evening. 😂

I think the terrifyingly huge SpaceX Starship launch that's happening right now is the one that's planning to deploy a bunch of the new Starlinks that are not actually approved by the FCC yet because SpaceX knows that the FCC will eventually approve them because they approve literally everything and absolutely nobody with power cares about safety or pollution or Kessler syndrome or the future at all.

Good morning.

@luc interessant, danke. Schau gerne auch anderswo in NL, wenn du da unterwegs bist.

Laut https://watrify.de gibts aber immerhin auf dem Vorplatz neben dem Taxistand einen von den schicken niederländischen Trinkwasserbrunnen.

@Remittancegirl That coffee looks delicious

@sundogplanets I was rooting for a kaboom.

That was kind of you to worry about the kids' mental health, while accepting the damage to your own ❤️

DHHs "technology adoption" argument on stage with Matz that resistance to LLMs is like the initial resistance to early Rails because it was "new", "slow" & "didn't scale"; dismissed by incumbents, but eventually succeeded & "revolutionised" the industry, likely isn't wrong.

But it misses a fundamental framing: Rails was open source and free and helped democratise web tech. The current LLM industry does the opposite, it gates progress behind a paywall. It's aim is to make a few rich men richer.
