I suspect the Aquitaine region is skewed by containing both the French Basque country and the Béarn. The rest of it is pretty lacking in terms of regional identity - I would say identity is either even more local than regional or a somewhat flat, national one around here.
The textual expect/diff for UI screenshot testing is enough to make me want to try this out, let alone the promise of being able to use ocaml for everything.
I’m surprised that you’re talking about models being CUDA-specific or AMD-specific. I’ve had a bunch of models running on my amd-only pc, using ollama, lemonade, and lm-studio, through either rocm or vulkan. None of these models were billed as AMD-specific. I had to do some config tweaking for ollama to use my graphics card but that’s more because I have a weird in-between-generations card that also predates the LLM hype (6700XT).
However, I did generally need to look for the GGUF format versions of things - usually accounts like unsloth have them uploaded on huggingface barely a day or two after the original version gets posted.

A good write-up I came across 2 months ago: “Your container is not a sandbox” https://emirb.github.io/blog/microvm-2026/
“posterior averaging” sounds like medicalese for “implants so my butt isn’t flat”
Solid conclusion! I had seen headlines but never actually read excerpts of the Pope’s encyclical. Much to your article’s point, I suspect, I never would have expected the head of the Catholic church to produce writing and arguments so relevant to the current state of the fedi.
From what I remember of when the news of his boat’s creation was shared here on the threadi/fediverse, he expressly had it designed and built for this purpose. It’s nice to get some news about it accomplishing something other than making him richer, for sure.
I agree with most of what you’re saying, but:
forgejo is working on federation. They’ve been working on it for a certain amount of time by now, but I do think we can expect some concrete version of what you describe in terms of community to materialize in the next decade as long a people want it and are motivated enough
when talking about code that is stored in a version control software that supports decentralized state (git, mercurial are the 2 I have working knowledge of) the “easy” fix for low bus factors is to just fork/mirror the software you want to see continue to exist. Source code is not that voluminous, I would be surprised if [the collective we] can’t manage to store multiple copies of the sources for software we deem useful. It’s a question of changing habits, not finding some miracle tech
Of course, habits aren’t necessarily easy to change.
It definitely comes off as LLM-generated, though “Half-understood Kubernetes is more dangerous than no Kubernetes” feels human-wrought.
Interesting to read through the announced changes ; it seems like there’s been a lot of work put into this!
There might be a network effect happening, where formerly someone out shopping for physical goods would more easily run into friends or acquaintances and together they could decide to stop at a bakery, café, or bar for a drink and/or a bite to eat. Nowadays you need to explicitly plan to go out and socialize instead of meeting up online or just plugging in to an online community.
“Hard-Left party” maybe for today’s Overton window, but France Unbowed is moderate socdem in terms of policies. They’re just not meek when it comes to public rhetoric.
Anyways, I’m glad the government is taking election interference (somewhat) seriously.

You have all my sympathies. Someone in another post/thread brought up the idea of a support group for burned out devs/tech workers in general. I definitely think there’s something between that and unionization that is both needed and starting to be possible. Heck, even in the hackernews comments for this article there was at least one person telling another “welcome to luddism!” as both resonated with the spirit of the article itself.
That’s wild. Your managers’ reaction to “the project made by AI has created 2-4 years of work by experienced engineers, perhaps up to 6 of them, before it’s ready” was “why don’t you use more AI??”?
I’m starting to think Mao had a point when he sent the business owners to do farm work. Barring a revolution, I can only hope the effective cost of inference rises du much as to make these dipshits back off from wanting it to do all the labor ever.
I don’t know about heavier vehicles like vans or trucks, but in my parent’s Renault Zoé the Regen braking is strong enough to slow the car down from like 50km/h to 30km/h when going downhill. It might be enough to bring the car to a standstill, I’ve never actually tried letting it be - usually there’s a car behind me or I need to get somewhere in time so I can’t afford to experiment.
Brakes are still important for emergency/manual speed adjustments, of course. Just wanted to share my experience with “how well does regen braking work downhill?”
Bon débarras!
Remind me of the spice harvesters from the recent Dune movies.
No idea how easy this will be to follow if you’re forced to rely on text-to-speech and/or other assistive technologies, but here goes:
root /wpdirectiveFor the rewrites, here is the link to the relevant documentation page: https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_rewrite_module.html . You will need to understand the basics of how to write a Regular Expression, or get someone to write it for you. If you can’t find a human that’s available and willing to help, maybe a back-and-forth with an L.L.M. can get you to what you need (I don’t like suggesting L.L.M.s but being sighted myself I don’t really know if they’re better or worse than recommending you just work at learning how to do this on your own, given the current state of the web).
