Friend left behind on twitter Battlefield

This post of yours really hit home.

I have an internet friend who was Left behind on twitter because he wasn't ready to move (WTF why)

I've been congratulating him  on important anniversaries of his, through the internet for years like an Atomic Clock

It's the 4th or the 5th Year that I couldn't do it, because I refuse to re-open my Twitter accounts to see the battlefield, the horrific nukes of War, the destruction that Elon and his cohorts created.

I miss talking to him
He's a good man, a successful Bounty Hunter by Day, a great pappa at Night

In 2023, Danish psychiatrist Dr. Søren Dinesen Østergaard predicted that human-like chatbots like ChatGPT could stand to reinforce delusions and hallucinations in people “prone to psychosis.” Recently, Østergaard led a study that found chatbot use indeed appeared to deepen symptoms of mental illness and was especially true for patients prone to delusions or mania. @Futurism has more:

helenOS

Quote

HelenOS is a portable microkernel-based multiserver operating system designed and implemented from scratch. It decomposes key operating system functionality such as file systems, networking, device drivers and graphical user interface into a collection of fine-grained user space components that interact with each other via message passing. A failure or crash of one component does not directly harm others. HelenOS is therefore flexible, modular, extensible, fault tolerant and easy to understand.

Since this is a today I've learned I will learn about helenOS just like you, when you follow the links

Micro kernels can be very interesting

Good news from #Arduino next: there's a new firmware for most of its u-blox NUNA-W102-equipped boards which allows you to use both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy simultaneously - instead of having to choose one or t'other.

APB FYI

I've just removed the LLM network which creates Alt texts, useless for blind people.

I've consulted several blind people IRL who told me the same thing.

Alt text generated by all LLM systems is useless

The system that we have here on the FediVerse which uses a ethical data set, puts the emphasis on useless details for the blind individual.

The blind person can immediately see if a photograph has been described by the photographer.

It is totally different from what an LLM can produce.

The emphasis are straight to the point

• the description has a technical part
• the description has a compositional part
• the description has a color part
• the description has a lighting part
• the description has a short story

All of the above are important for the blind individual, however a large language model, doesn't know anything; it puts elaborate emphasis on things that are totally unnecessary, absolutely unusable and makes the description messy to such a degree that all those Alt texts are simply ignored by the blind people.

Background:

As a young child I was extremely traumatized by a cousin who broke my right eye, by throwing a stone into my eye.

The only thing the only section that wasn't broken was the section that can never heal
I had to walk a whole year with a broken eye. I had not only lost depth of vision, I also lost a considerable amount of information which made my brains work much harder and made seeing the world much more difficult, putting extreme stress on my left eye.

From that perspective, I know from personal experience trauma and horror, what it means for a blind person to tell you that your LLM generated Slop, Alt text description, is totally useless.

I've checked the bot going through many iterations of many LLM back ends and came to the same conclusion as the blind people

ALT text generated by any LLM is useless

SSD not CSD

The nice thing about that period, is that everything was keyboard driven and the mouse was only used when it was handy. The great thing about that period, is that you could do everything literally everything with your keyboard and the user interfaces were much more simple to design, modify and to expand, because it was much easier for the programmers to determine what you want based upon the fact that you are using the keyboard as input.

It started to go downhill when the scrollwheel was added.

Three buttons were enough.

Everything degenerated to CSD, while SSD is the proper way to go, and we now have hacks to force SSD in different Linux distributions. Hopefully the BSD flavours have such hacks too

If you still want SSD as much as possible, you need to use fluxbox as your DM / WM and use the considerable tweaks that @rl_dane has suggested to me in another toot in this thread, get firefox to behave normally again. You should also disable all the silly LLM stuff in ffox...
Im going to put the tweaks at work here on this SBC Pi5, I'm currently on

How Hackers Are Fighting Back Against ICE

‚ICE has been invading U.S. cities, targeting, surveilling, harassing, assaulting, detaining, and torturing people who are undocumented immigrants. They also have targeted people with work permits, asylum seekers, permanent residents (people holding “green cards”), naturalized citizens, and even citizens by birth. ICE has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on surveillance technology to spy on anyone—and potentially everyone—in the United States. It can be hard to imagine how to defend oneself against such an overwhelming force.

But a few enterprising hackers have started projects to do counter surveillance against ICE, and hopefully protect their communities through clever use of technology….‘

The Zine from 404media About ICE Surveillance Is Here!

https://www.404media.co/icezine/

"You are holding a zine about the surveillance tools used by ICE, and what we have learned so far about how you can resist this technology.

This zine was reported and written by 404 Media, a journalist-owned investigative website and now, we suppose, a print publication. Our status as a small outfit of reporters who own the means of production (a website), means that we have the freedom to report on the topics we believe are the most important. For the last year, that has been Donald Trumpʼs mass deportation
campaign, and the technology powering it."

Inference is becoming the primary cost center of AI, and NVIDIA’s Feynman roadmap suggests a shift from training-centric GPUs toward latency-optimized, inference-scale systems.

As real-time agents, copilots, and edge deployments grow, inference sovereignty—where compute is located, how fast it responds, and who controls the hardware—will define the next phase of AI infrastructure.

With NVIDIA GTC 2026 approaching, the key question is whether NVIDIA will formally introduce a new class of inference-focused silicon and fabric to complement its training platforms.

After talks between Anthropic and the Pentagon fell through Friday, OpenAI quickly announced that it had reached a deal of its own with the department. But if OpenAI is using the same safeguards Anthropic would have, why was it able to reach a deal?

Abstract Objects Layer

The functions in this chapter interact with Python objects regardless of their
type, or with wide classes of object types (e.g. all numerical types, or all
sequence types). When used on object types for which they do not apply, they
will raise a Python exception.

It is not possible to use these functions on objects that are not properly
initialized, such as a list object that has been created by :c:func:PyList_New,
but whose items have not been set to some non-\ NULL value yet.

▸Chapter 1 — Understanding CPython Before Code

CPython is both a compiler and an interpreter. It compiles Python source code to bytecode, then executes that bytecode on a stack-based virtual machine. Understanding this dual nature reveals how Python achieves its balance between high-level expressiveness and runtime efficiency.

Key Concepts:

Everything is an object: Integers, functions, classes, modules, even types themselves are objects with a uniform interface
The GIL: A mutex that protects Python objects, simplifying memory management but limiting CPU-bound parallelism
Memory Management: Reference counting (immediate) + cyclic garbage collection (for cycles)
Compilation Pipeline: Source → Tokens → AST → Bytecode → Execution

motivation

• It's important to know
• how to use a programming language
• it's tools
• compiler(s)
• assembler
• linker

It's vital to know how the compiler works from the source

• I dive in deep into the sources
• sit and read, learn the logic, check the remarks
• that gives and understanding of the workings of the whole suite of tools for that language

I used explorar.dev in this example, but you don't need the internet to analyse source code. Just download them once, then read at your leasure offline

The screencaps are included to show how it can be done via explorar.

Happy hacking!

Reading up on CSD, client side decorations

Client side decorations give a lot of headaches when they're not improperly implemented many of these mods should just stay with SSD, server side decorations

Quote
> GtkHeaderBar merges the title bar, menu bar and tool bar into one unified horizontal bar to give more space to the application content, potentially reducing the amount of wasted space by showing empty bars.

You're absolutely right there are worse things occuring.

But the following is a bad CSD

CSD In Firefox mobile

• Something odd was changed in the user interface; the sidebar it's actually the menu that you get when you tap on the double point in the lower right corner, was transformed into this massive monstrosity which covers the whole Android display.
• It distracts
• All the extra information is useless
• it takes many more GPU Cycles to throw that big thing on the screen
• no one was consulted within the user base would tell them that it just makes everything worse, because you don't see anything underneath

CSD Enshittification Factor

Instead of going on I'll just stick with what that still works I may need to go all the way back to that MX Linux distro which at least feels familiar and use as many clients that don't abuse CSDs

One more question; what example do you have of something that's worse than client-side decorations

IMHO the one I just referred too, is a very bad one

BTW to prove your point;

It took me 15 minutes to compose this lousy small message on the Android. It would have taken me 120 seconds on one of the desktops running here
All because of horrific user interfaces low free RAM and bad CSD choices on the Android

January - Mom, there's this new thing called a telescreen. It's amazing; we can communicate, read books, watch movies, and go shopping all from our home. It's free if we let it watch how we use it so it can customize ads for us. Can we get one?

June - Now we need an ID to use it. No big deal.

December - It can also read our thoughts, BUT it's so convenient. Who cares. Let's keep it.

GUI TUI

Your response sheds a clear light on what's wrong, deeply wrong in this matter.

I stick to DE and window managers which feel and look like they're from decades ago. I those I don't face the horrible points you stated. I glanced at the theme on it's own and did not take these points into account.

From the perspective of UI design, many GUI's have been deliberately broken with the thin and disappearing scroll bars which are a *PITA and the removal of the menu bar by default in this bloody browser I work in ATM within standardnotes. There is so much broken in those things I would need to type a whole book full, yet very few would read it.
I always find workarounds which is what I stated in the previous stansa.

You're right that 40 years of meticulous UI design, craft and tweaking should be cherished and expanded. I wonder why this trend started

I loved working in fvwm & twm and did it for years

Are there still Window and Desktop Managers left which are currently maintaned and follow the priciples as strickt as possible? What do you think of KDE in this light?

Note:
I use XFCE as my DE and love the other light one in the MX Linux distro FluxBox. The older it is the better I can fly thorugh it with my keyboard and windows behave in a standard way

Keyboard shortcuts power in UI control

I've had consistent good keyboard experiences with keyboard shortcuts in both closed source and Open Source programs
The program suite by AutoDesk ACAD which I know from version 10.0, was run on a single tasking 286 CPU with a seperate 287 math coprocessor installed. That computer was in URC, the computer lab of my University in SR/SA.
In that period of multitasking dark ages on x86 not even the coprocessor could be integrated on the CPU die. Of course my Amiga multitasked all it's programs in the same period, but that's for another toot ;)
ACAD10 and others have a set of nice functions which I still know by heart, because I can make nice 3D images with them

Sequence

• o (ortho)
• s (snap)
• l (line) from point to point indicated by digitizer
• layer (define layers and colours for objects)
• a (arc from {end of} axis to nice random point)
• the object snap function is at work here
• create different arcs in different layers
• setvar
• SURFTAB1 (value as large as the math coprocessor can handle)
• SURFTAB2 (same as above)
• revsurf (revolution of surfaces) rotate the arcs around axis
• a gorgeous multilayered / multi coloured object is created
• the SURFTAB valuse will be important in the next step
• shade
• autoshade() creates a magnifique shaded object within a number of seconds to a minute

The 3D objects look gorgeous!

I can create them in seconds on simple hardware, and can play by making them for hours

No other democracy on earth has attempted this yet.

From tomorrow (March 1), India is enforcing continuous "SIM binding" for apps like WhatsApp, Telegram and Signal.

The government's stated excuse is "cybersecurity."

In 2024, Indian citizens lost a staggering ₹22,845 Crore to cyber fraud. In response, authorities have already blacklisted over 4 million fraudulent SIM cards and flagged 2.4 million mule accounts.

Their existing telecom screening tools are clearly active. So why use this as an excuse to mandate a permanent, device-level surveillance leash on the communication of every ordinary citizen?

As any professional will point out, this directive completely misunderstands the threat model.

For one, it is not very effective. Indian banking apps already use SMS-based SIM binding. Has it stopped financial fraud? No. Professional scammers just use dedicated burner phones. They will continue to do so.

Two, it is technically regressive as most modern OS architectures (like Apple's iOS) actively restrict third-party apps from reading hardware SIM identifiers specifically to protect user privacy. Tech platforms will now have to engineer intrusive workarounds just to appease a government mandate.

And most importantly, it punishes normal users who rely on WhatsApp Web or a desktop client for work. Under the new rules, you will be forcefully logged out every 6 hours and forced to physically re-authenticate with your primary phone.

There was no public consultation. No parliamentary debate. No judicial oversight for disconnecting your access. Tech industry bodies have formally challenged the directive, arguing it illegally oversteps the government's jurisdiction under the Telecommunications Act. The government's official response was to offer no extensions.

In a country where Aadhaar data leaks are a running joke, the promise of secure state oversight is insulting.

This mandate won't protect the vulnerable from scams and it certainly won't protect journalists or whistleblowers exposing corruption. It just ensures the state can trace every encrypted message back to a government-verified ID.

Trump post: THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL NEVER ALLOW A RADICAL LEFT, WOKE COMPANY TO DICTATE HOW OUR GREAT MILITARY FIGHTS AND WINS WARS! That decision belongs to YOUR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, and the tremendous leaders I appoint to run our Military. The Leftwing nut jobs at Anthropic have made a DISASTROUS MISTAKE trying to STRONG-ARM the Department of War, and force them to obey their Terms of Service instead of our Constitution. Their selfishness is putting AMERICAN LIVES at risk, our Troops in danger, and our National Security in JEOPARDY. Therefore, I am directing EVERY Federal Agency in the United States Government to IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic's technology. We don't need it, we don't want it, and will not do business with them again! There will be a Six Month phase out period for Agencies like the Department of War who are using Anthropic's products, at various levels. Anthropic better get their act together, and be helpful during this phase out period, or I will use the Full Power of the Presidency to make them comply, with major civil and criminal consequences to follow. WE will decide the fate of our Country - NOT some out-of-control, Radical Left Al company run by people who have no idea what the real World is all about. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Toronto-based Taalas just emerged from stealth with a claim that’s shaking the hardware world: 17,000 tokens per second on Llama 3.1 8B.

How? By physically etching the AI model directly into the silicon transistors. No HBM. No liquid cooling. Just raw, hardwired performance that is 10x faster and 20x cheaper than traditional GPU inference.

https://www.buysellram.com/blog/17000-tokens-second-is-taalas-hardwired-silicon-the-ultimate-solution-to-the-ai-memory-wall-and-hbm-shortage/

The Breakthrough: Taalas has unveiled the HC1 chip, achieving a massive 17,000 tokens/second on Llama 3.1 8B. It is roughly 10x faster and 20x cheaper than traditional GPU inference.

The “Hardwired” Secret: Unlike GPUs that load software, Taalas etches the AI model directly into the silicon transistors. By physically embedding the weights, they eliminate the need for High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM).

Solving the Memory Wall: By removing the “data movement” between external memory and the processor, Taalas bypasses the industry’s biggest bottleneck—the Memory Wall—and operates entirely on standard air cooling.

The Trade-off: The chip is model-specific. While it offers “insane” efficiency for stable, high-volume production (like 24/7 chatbots), it lacks the programmability and flexibility of a GPU.

Market Impact: The rise of these specialized “Inference Factories” actually increases the long-term value of your GPUs. Because GPUs are versatile and can be repurposed for any new model, they remain the “Gold Standard” for resale and training.

Computer science students looking to graduate this year: if you're not experimenting with vibe coding, you should be. This is an opportunity for you to learn about the limitations and flaws in AI-generated code (and there are TON of them). If you start interviewing for jobs with some experience in debunking the magical thinking around AI-based coding, you'll have an advantage over all the starry-eyed applicants who have no clue how to compete for jobs.

Corporations are investing in AI regardless of how stupid and short-sighted that will prove to be (the global chip shortage is a serious dark horse on the horizon) - but they will need people with experience in managing the nightmare of extremely naively-written code they're replacing human workers with.

Just been on @bbcworld news channel discussing with Kasia Madera about Instagram’s new rollout of a feature that alerts parents if their kids are searching for self-harm and suicide-related content (which, let’s be honest, they’re not doing that…)

If we’re being real, it’s much easier to find that kind of content on the internet, and while Meta definitely knows what users are searching for on their mobile device web browsers, it would be going down a slippery slope for us to permit further tracking and surveillance of children and young people, and eventually break GDPR etc.

So the only solution I can actually see would be to skip over that and just let the under-16s social media ban go through.

I’ll be on @BBC5Live in an hour to discuss the same thing.

Floppy disks were introduced in the early 1970s and in the two decades before they became obsolete, tens of billions were produced, most of which ended up in landfills, long-forgotten storage, or libraries. Archivist Leontien Talboom has been working for the past few years to preserve the floppy disks in the Cambridge University Library, collaborating with retro-computing enthusiasts. She talked to @PopularScience about the project.

For folks you're worried that today's AI can already replace us, or who are deciding how far to trust a learning model in a production environment - "The Car Wash Problem" is an entertaining and sobering experiment.

https://opper.ai/blog/car-wash-test

"Everything below GPT-5 performs worse than 10,000 people given two buttons and no time to think."

It is critical to remember that today's AI always generates a pleasing answer, even when it is outside of it's capabilities.

There is a chasm between how today's AI thinks and how it presents itself. Stolen human writing regurgitated allows AI to present as more coherent than it's actual processing powers would otherwise allow.

Every one of these models presents a well written compelling argument, even while most miss the point entirely.

This case is special not because is fools many AI.

This case is special because most humans can still easily recognize the mistake no matter how well the AI presents itself.

We have a new lack-of-warriness problem to overcome, as these models may continue to grow faster in apparent reliability than in actual reliability.

@Mastodon is changing course when it comes to how people join the platform. In late 2022, the team decided to send sign-ups directly to their server in order to make onboarding more straightforward. But that didn't align with the promise of decentralization. Here, Community Director @haubles explains the new approach to server recommendation, along with some other ways Mastodon is helping build community.

"Throughout space there is energy. Is this energy static or kinetic! If static our hopes are in vain; if kinetic — and this we know it is, for certain — then it is a mere question of time when men will succeed in attaching their machinery to the very wheelwork of nature."

Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) thinking. Tesla is seated in a dimly lit study or laboratory. He wears a dark, tailored suit, complete with a high-collared white shirt and a neatly tied bowtie, reflecting his elegant style. His slender frame and sharp features are illuminated by soft, focused light, emphasizing his high cheekbones, deep-set eyes, and slightly furrowed brow.
