RE: https://hachyderm.io/@pheonix/116221805295722939

it is for your own good - meta engineering probably 😂 from what i hear the IG app no longer shows your videos or pics to your followers. it is all algo driven. so you are not losing much not having that account. just delete the IG and move on with your life. no point fighting corrupt corporation i guess. fyi, mastodon/fedi offers pic and video sharing without stupid alogs.

Mi sa la mia stagione di piantumazioni è giunta a un prematuro termine quest'anno: mi sono tagliato un dito portandomi via quasi tutta l'unghia dell'indice sinistro, ci metterà mesi per ricrescere e penso almeno una settimana per chiudersi a modo. 😅 🩸

Non vi metto foto che è stato tutto abbastanza splatter.

The Playground.

Remember how fun those were as kids?

Well, if you want to learn and play around with ActivityPub, I reckon you can have just as much fun.

My new ActivityPub resource will feature rich interactive demos and tools so you can play along as you learn.

It's wild that this doesn't exist yet.

I guess the guy behind @pixelfed, @loops, https://fedidb.com, https://fediverse.info, https://pubkit.net, https://fedithreat.net must like be obsessed.

Like who does this much??

There is hope for the Loops grant after all!

Apparently the initial rejection email was a glitch, and we in fact have moved to the second round!!

I couldn't be happier, fingers crossed that it gets approved so we can take Loops to the next level, with help from @ErickaSimone and others 🚀

Loops has so much potential, it just needs the right team and sustainable funding.

Il signor Q, 96 anni, mi scrive questo:

"Caro Fabio grazie per avermi ripristinato wathsapp e per avermi regalato il tuo libro. Grazie poi per avermi aperto uno spiraglio su un mondo sconosciuto per me fantascientifico e inimmaginabile anche dopo aver letto il tuo libro. È proprio vero che c' è sempre da imparare e da conoscere. Grazie anche per avermi stimolato un' idea di utilizzo di queste piattaforme di cui ti parlerò la prossima volta che, spero, verrai a trovarmi."

in these days of coding agents and what-not, i often think of gerald sussman's comment that one no longer constructs systems from known parts, that instead one does basic science on the functionality of foreign libraries (https://wingolog.org/archives/2009/03/24/international-lisp-conference-day-two); he was right then and i hate it as much as i did 16 years ago

Dear Fedi friends,

I'd like to put together a list of people who are publicly resisting / calling out LLMs and AI slop.

Why? I enjoy reading my Fediverse feed in topical lists and I need something to counteract the unrelenting AI hype I see in the media.

Do you have any recommendations?

So far, at the top of my list I have:

@timnitGebru @emilymbender and @alexhanna of @DAIR

plus @cwebber @jaredwhite and @tante

Anyone else to recommend who advocates for #NoAI?

things that never happened and then the printer stood up and clapped too? because writing a kernel extension that bypasses Apple’s system integrity protection and driver kits requirements in a single prompt isn't a productivity hack it’s a miracle equivalent of Jesus walking on water 😂

It is a screenshot of a tweet from user called "anish" (Twitter/X @faradayfury fake verified/paid bluecheckmark) from March 10. The post explains how his dad bought a new MacBook Air but was upset that his 20-yo HP LaserJet printer was incompatible. Anish asked the AI Claude for help, which "literally re-wrote the driver software" for the new macOS, successfully making the printer work

@nixCraft India is having a huge cooking gas (LPG as we call it) crisis right now. So the government decided to prioritise household consumption over commercial uses. This is hitting hard for the small businesses and restaurants. A lot of businesses are closing. It's a mess.

Another day, another company is reducing IT and software dev jobs to replace them with AI despite many report indicating that Gen AI doesn't work as promised. Get ready for more outages for Jira and co ;) ‘Devastating blow’: Atlassian lays off 1,600 workers ahead of AI push https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/mar/12/atlassian-layoffs-software-technology-ai-push-mike-cannon-brookes-asx

I didn't think Jira could get any more messed up, but I underestimated their commitment to the bit. AI is a bold choice for a platform that struggles with basic navigation. Lmao

@enricolatalpa89 Certo, rispetto alla blockchain non c'è paragone, perché la blockchain non serviva davvero a niente.

Quando si parla di consumi, però, bisogna iniziare a ragionare sul rapporto tra costi e benefici.

@kenobit assolutamente d’accordo su entrambe le frasi. Ma come tutto in informatica, la tecnologia si andrà raffinando. Purtroppo la vera schifezza è questa folle corsa agli armamenti ad ogni costo. È una vergogna che per assicurarsi l’ennesimo monopolio si stia sacrificando la qualunque. Risorse naturali, licenziamenti, marketing in grado di spostare una quantità indecente di soldi…

Noto anche un altro parallelismo: se manifestavi delle perplessità, i crypto bro ti dicevano che ormai il progresso era partito, e che ti conveniva accettarlo, abbracciarlo e salire a bordo dell'ipotetico carro dei vincitori, prima di rimanere indietro.

Trovo argomentazioni molto simili tra chi vende (consciamente o meno) l'hype dell'IA.

L'IA generativa è più utile della blockchain (e ci vuole poco), ma quell'utilità giustifica i suoi costi (energetici, economici, sociali)?

@kenobit
Credo che rispetto alle cripto la differenza sostanziale sia la non definizione di cosa sia AI.

Non spiegando cos'è e come funziona si mischiano cose tipo AlphaFold (penso fighissime) a merda come ChatGpt o simili.

L'AI come strumento usato da persone che capiscono come funziona e la possono addestrare e affinare può essere potentissima nello specifico campo di applicazione per cui viene sviluppata

Invece il modello LLM "buttiamoci più RAM, GPU e energia finché non funziona" [cont]

Domanda sull'IA, rivolta principalmente a chi la vede in maniera ottimista, a prescindere dalle considerazione etiche.

Se l'IA generativa avesse il potenziale rivoluzionario che affermano i suoi fan, non dovremmo stare già vedendo dei cambiamenti rivoluzionari?

Nella scienza, nella medicina, nella logistica, nell'economia?

A parte qualche CEO che usa l'IA come scusa per licenziare gente, dovremmo vedere altro, inclusa un'esplosione di creatività.

Non vedo nulla di tutto questo. Esiste?

@kenobit Leggevo mesi fa dell'uso delle LLM in medicina per combattere il cancro, e di gente che si faceva spiegare messaggi di errore molto specifici in ambito informatico.

Nonostante ciò, provo un odio viscerale per le LLM a causa degli usi impropri di questa tecnologia, e del gravoso impatto sull'ambiente e sulle persone proprio causato da questi ultimi
