fellow #OpenSource library maintainers: Github is a great resource for finding usages of your API in public code, to see how (and if) people are using it. but because people don't know how to manage dependencies, you'll find a million clumsily vendored copies of your example code calling it instead of actual applications. do you have any tips for using Github search in a way which gives you better signal and excludes all that noise?

Behind the scenes, it is decentralized and powered by the open-source nostr protocol, and has built-in technology to minimize AI content. It's funded by Jack Dorsey, Twitter co-founder, who is also involved with nostr. Here's more from @Engadget.

RT @jun_song: Wenn LLM-as-a-verifier genauso gut funktioniert, wie mein letzter Beitrag nahelegt, wird das für lokale KI einen enormen Impact haben. Wie der Entwickler anmerkte, ermöglicht die Kombination eines großen Modells mit einem kleinen Modell die kostengünstige Verifikation. Das bedeutet: Kombiniert man die GLM-5.3-API mit Deepseek-V4-Flash auf einem DGX Spark, erzielt man einen massiven Leistungsschub ohne die Kosten in die Höhe zu treiben. Hat man vier DGX Spark-Geräte, kann man GLM und Deepseek auf einem einzelnen Knoten multi-batchen und Fable komplett offline übertreffen, ohne eine API zu nutzen. Willkommen in der Ära der lokalen KI. Jacky Kwok (@jackyk02): Natürlich! In unserem Paper (llm-as-a-verifier.com) haben wir tatsächlich Gemini 2.5 Flash verwendet, um GPT-5.5-Trajektorien zu verifizieren, und erreichten damit zum damaligen Zeitpunkt SOTA auf Terminal-Bench 2.0. Daher sollte die Verifikation von GLM-5.3-Trajektorien durch lokales V4 Flash definitiv funktionieren 👀 — https://nitter.net/jackyk02/status/2089548247564189918#m

Hi Mastodon! 👋 As a developer of Parch Linux (https://parchlinux.com), I need some advice. Does anyone know how DistroWatch tracks updates, or how to properly reach out to Linux news sites? It's FOSS reviewed us once, but we’ve made massive changes since: new custom tools, a rewritten installer UI, and more!

Tomorrow marks our 5th anniversary! 🎉 But despite publishing our updates, we're facing total radio silence. I don't want to jump to conclusions, but after 5 years, it honestly feels like a media boycott simply because of our project's origin (Iran). I didn't choose my nationality, and despite heavy restrictions, our team has built something we're proud of.

We even have Server and Mobile editions in active development, yet the mobile efforts seem ignored even here among FOSS enthusiasts.

How can we break this silence? Any advice is appreciated! 🐧❤️

China’s rise, Europe’s decline and Bernie Sanders’ dark hour.
Bernie Sanders really laid it on thick this week: AI is dangerous, AI brings illness and death, AI must be regulated – and by, er, the US! Who else, for that matter? The EU might be an option, but they’re getting new fax machines this week, so there’s not much time left!

What Bernie – and, in fact, the entire so-called ‘West’ – is overlooking is this: AI is already here. The US model of privatising humanity’s knowledge and selling it back to people at a premium via a handful of public limited companies has failed. Everyone has missed the Deepseek moment. Whether out of colonial arrogance, fear or simply a lack of critical thinking: to this day, the actual neural revolution is being completely overlooked.

Deepseek: for those who don’t know, this is the first Chinese AI model to have been made available completely free of charge and as open source for the whole of humanity. A step of unprecedented magnitude. The next ‘Sputnik moment’ then came last month with the release of Kimi K3. Kimi K3 is arguably the most powerful software ever created. It is a so-called ‘frontier’ model, meaning it is on a par with the US’s triple-trillion models, only it is out in the wild.

We need to realise what this means. Everyone – and I mean everyone – has free access to the cutting-edge technology of our time. This represents a democratisation of AI technology on an unprecedented scale. Xi Jinping made this clear in July in his brief but substantial speech at the AI Summit in Shanghai. In the very first principle, the ‘Principle of Openness’, Xi made the following remarkable statement: ‘We should seize this rare, historic opportunity to promote open source.’ Since then, with Kimi K3 and Gwen 3.7 – and all those yet to come – the world has had access to the entirety of human knowledge in condensed form.

But this also means that regions such as Western Europe can no longer afford to wait. Defending digital infrastructure alone will soon be impossible without AI support. With the nationalisation of the AI industry under Trump, the US is no longer an option for Europe. Through WAICO, China, Russia and the BRICS nations are rolling out this knowledge across the globe. I bet they must be laughing out loud at times; I’d be doing the same in their shoes.

Just to give a few recent examples. A few weeks ago, China launched a global simulation. Due to sanctions imposed by the US government, China was forced to develop highly efficient AI models. Thanks to its open-source nature, this technology can also be applied in other fields. A simulation involving 1 billion agents was launched. Each agent corresponded to a human being with emotions, desires, flaws and so on. The first tests were the usual game theory tests, but as early as the second run, the spread of information amongst the global population was simulated. What this means for someone who cannot access this knowledge remains to be seen in the (European) future.

A second example, which is of great relevance to Germany, is car manufacturing. Modern cars are built with aluminium frames. This is a technically demanding process, as aluminium cannot be cast. The individual parts must be skilfully welded together. Using AI technology, China has discovered an aluminium alloy that can, in fact, be cast. This means: everything is made from a single ‘cast’, with no weld seams; the manufacturing process is simple and low-cost, and the structure of the frame can be adapted to the actual loads it will bear. A giant leap forward. And Germany simply cannot do it.

And, in fact, similar and even more impressive reports are coming in on a daily basis. WAICO is set to roll this out across the Global South. And, secretly, I hope that Europe carries on sleeping and ends up footing the bill. 500 years of colonisation – that adds up to quite a lot.

For my part, I’ll carry on running Chinese AI systems locally; so far, they’ve been quite friendly! Overtaking without catching up (I’m laughing my head off).

Що робити, якщо ви сьогодні першокурсник коледжу? Син друга сім'ї починає навчання в коледжі цієї осені, і вони запитали мене, що йому слід вивчати. ​​Просте питання – поки ви не подумаєте. До того часу, як він закінчить навчання через 4 роки, світ виглядатиме зовсім не так, як сьогодні. Система осв

pasted

Треба зробити рерайт бо наразі це актуально особливо для мого старшого сину, йому залишилось два роки до навчання в коледжі і він питає мене куди йому рухатись далі по життю і це дійсно важке питання томущо світ змінюється досить швидко а система освіти досі буксує в 2010році. Я пропоную йому варіанти навчання за кордоном Німеччина Чехія Автрія але наполягаю над тим щоб він обрав професію самостійно ту яка йому до вподоби, та навчатись тому що світ змінюється дуже швидко та найкраща спроможність яку людина може досягти це швидко підлаштовуватись під нові виклики та віти домовлюватись. Саме такі якості призводять до результату. ==== Ось пост із трендів який я побачив і він мені сподобався але треба змістити трохи ракурси та написати оригінальніше, переше речення має відображати цільову аудиторію - студенти!

Created a file, read a file
Created a file, read a file
Готово. Перше речення звертається напряму до студентів, структура повністю перероблена (не копіює оригінал), і додав акценти саме на адаптивність + вміння домовлятися, вибір справи за інтересом і навчання за кордоном — те, про що ти казав синові.

Якщо треба коротшу версію під конкретну платформу (Twitter-тред, LinkedIn) — скажи, підрихтую під формат.

Чи доводилось вам створювати софт для того, щоб зручніше створювати софт? :)

Ділимось власним кейсом. Кілька років ми розробляємо продукт, що з'єднує інвесторів та підприємців. У процесі зіткнулись із простою, але дошкульною проблемою: частина наших тестувальників добровольців ніколи не працювала з професійними інструментами на кшталт Jira. Тому всі баги, зауваження та пропозиції прилітали в особисті повідомлення у WhatsApp чи Telegram.

Поки черга доходила до виправлення, стрічка розтягувалась на кілометри. Конкретне повідомлення губилося в контексті, забувалось, а іноді розробник просто пропускав його - і все, задача зникала. Це прямо било по швидкості усунення проблем і по темпу оновлень.

Змусити добровільних тестувальників освоювати професійні таск-трекери теж не варіант: у таких інструментів своя специфіка, і для людини не з IT це виглядає зайвим навантаженням.

Тож ми зробили простий і легкий міні-додаток для постановки задач: вказуєш пріоритет, ставиш дедлайн, коментуєш кожен пункт. Розробник бачить усі проєкти, до яких його запрошено, отримує сповіщення про нову задачу з деталями та скріншотами, і будь-хто з команди може або взяти задачу собі, або бути призначеним куратором проєкту. Виконав - залишив нотатку, що саме зроблено.

Спочатку це був суто внутрішній інструмент, без жодного плану виводити його на ринок. Але коли ми відчули, наскільки швидше почали закривати задачі, з'явилась прозора історія по кожній правці й коментарю, а хаос у чатах зник - стало зрозуміло, що задача виросла в щось більше, ніж просто затичка для внутрішньої проблеми. Так часто і буває: інструмент, який робиш для себе, у процесі перетворюється на щось корисне ширше.

Тепер додаток доступний публічно під назвою Dělám To (з чеської - "я це роблю"). Кросплатформений, легкий, є в Google Play, Snap Store і Flatpak для Linux. Є безкоштовний план, якого достатньо, щоб швидко спробувати й відчути різницю на власній команді.

Chinas Aufstieg, Europas Untergang und Bernie Sanders’ dunkle stunde.
Bernie Sanders hat diese Woche auf den Tisch gehauen: KI ist gefährlich, KI bringt Krankheit und Tod, KI muss reguliert werden, und zwar von, ähm, von den USA! Von wem auch sonst? Die EU käme noch infrage, aber die bekommt diese Woche neue Faxgeräte, da bleibt wenig Zeit!

Was Bernie und eigentlich der gesamte sog. „Westen“ übersieht: KI ist hier. Das US-Modell, das Wissen der Menschheit zu privatisieren und über ein paar Aktiengesellschaften teuer an die Menschen zurückzuverkaufen, ist gescheitert. Alle haben den Deepseek-Moment verpasst. Sei es aus kolonialer Überheblichkeit, aus Angst oder schlicht geringem Denkvermögen: Bis heute wird die eigentliche neuronale Revolution vollkommen übersehen.

Deepseek: Wer das nicht weiß, ist das erste chinesische KI-Modell, das vollkommen frei und Open Source für die gesamte Menschheit verfügbar gemacht wurde. Ein Schritt ungeahnten Ausmaßes. Der nächste Sputnik Moment kam dann letzten Monat mit der Veröffentlichung von Kimi K3. Kimi K3 ist wohl die mächtigste Software, die jemals entstanden ist. Es ist ein sog. Frontier-Modell, also auf Augenhöhe mit den Tripletrilliarden-Modellen der USA, nur halt in freier Wildbahn.

Was das bedeutet, sollte man sich klar machen. Alle, wirklich alle haben freien Zugriff auf die Hochtechnologie unserer Zeit. Das ist eine Demokratisierung der KI-Technologie ungeahnten Ausmaßes. Xi Jinping hat das im Juli klar gemacht in seiner kurzen, aber inhaltsschweren Rede auf dem AI Summit in Shanghai. Bereits im ersten Grundsatz, dem „Grundsatz der Offenheit“, sagt Xi folgenden bemerkenswerten Satz: „Wir sollten diese seltene, historische Chance nutzen, um Open Source zu fördern.“ Seitdem stehen mit Kimi K3 und Gwen 3.7 und allen, die noch kommen, der Welt das gesamte Wissen in komprimierter Form zur Verfügung.

Das heißt aber auch, dass Regionen wie Westeuropa nicht länger warten können. Allein die Verteidigung der digitalen Infrastruktur wird ohne KI-Unterstützung schon bald nicht mehr möglich sein. Mit der Nationalisierung der KI-Industrie unter Trump fällt die USA für Europa weg. Mit WAICO rollen China, Russland und BRICS das Wissen in der ganzen Welt aus. Ich wette, dass die manchmal laut lachen müssen, ich würde es an ihrer Stelle machen.

Nur um mal ein paar aktuelle Beispiele zu nennen. China hat vor ein paar Wochen eine Weltsimulation gestartet. Durch die Sanktionen der US-Regierung war China gezwungen, hocheffiziente KI-Modelle zu entwickeln. Diese Technologie erlaubt es, dank ihrer Open-Source Natur auch in anderen Bereichen eingesetzt zu werden. So wurde eine Simulation mit 1 Milliarde Agenden gestartet. Alle Agenten entsprachen einem Menschen mit Gefühlen, Wünschen, Fehlern usw. Der erste Test waren die üblichen Spieltheorie-Tests, aber schon im 2. Durchlauf wurde die Verbreitung von Information in der Weltbevölkerung simuliert. Was das für jemanden bedeutet, der auf dieses Wissen nicht zugreifen kann, wird die (europäische) Zukunft zeigen.

Ein zweites Beispiel, was Deutschland sehr betrifft, ist der Autobau. Moderne Autos werden mit Aluminiumrahmen gebaut. Das ist ein technisch anspruchsvoller Arbeitsprozess, da man Alu nicht gießen kann. Die einzelnen Teile müssen gekonnt verschweißt werden. China hat mit KI-Technologie eine Aluminiumlegierung gefunden, die man doch gießen kann. Das heißt: alles aus einem „Guss“, keine Schweißnähte, einfaches Herstellungsverfahren, kostenarm, und die Struktur des Rahmens kann den echten Belastungen angepasst werden. Ein Riesen Schritt nach vorn. Und Deutschland kann es einfach nicht.

Und eigentlich täglich kommen ähnliche und eindrucksvollere Meldungen. WAICO wird das im globalen Süden ausrollen. Und insgeheim hoffe ich, dass Europa weiterschläft und die Rechnung bekommt. 500 Jahre Kolonialisierung, da kommt was zusammen.

Ich für meinen Teil werde weiter chinesische KIs lokal betreiben, bis jetzt waren sie ganz freundlich! Überholen ohne einzuholen (ich lache mich tot).

My PR from June is in laravel-notification-channels/webpush 12.1.0. First thing I ever landed in that package.

The bug. Endpoints were stored in a varchar(500), then Microsoft WNS started handing out URLs longer than that, so inserts failed for anyone with Edge users.

I bumped the column to 1024 and that broke the unique index. MySQL has opinions about key prefix length. So I made it ASCII, endpoints are URLs and URLs are ASCII.

If you already run the package, republish the migrations and migrate. Fresh installs get the wider column on their own.

I opened it in June and stopped thinking about it. The release notes yesterday were a nice surprise 🎉
