- Comment on Meta’s star AI scientist Yann LeCun plans to leave for own startup 2 days ago:
I saw a short interview with him by France 24 and he mainy said he thinks the current direction of the research teams at Meta is wrong. He made a contrast between top-down push to deliver org as opposed to long leash, leave the researches to experiment with things. He said Meta shifted from the latter to the former and he doesn’t agree with the approach.

Also he thinks LLMs are a dead end for getting smarter AI.

- Comment on Mastodon CEO steps down as the social network restructures 3 days ago:
The organization has already transitioned to a nonprofit in the U.S. but is still working to set up a nonprofit in Belgium, or an AISBL, to replace the German entity, which lost its nonprofit status last year. Once established, the Belgian nonprofit will be the future home of the organization. In the meantime, the U.S.-based 501©(3) c nonprofit will own the trademark and other assets.
Very important step.

Wait so is this about the app catalog? Because Rebble appears to be MIT-licensed open source, which means Eric can fork it and use it, even not contribite his changes back.
- Comment on I made a project that can install/configure/orchestrate 115+ applications on your homelab using Ansible! 5 days ago:
As someone who’s done cloud infrastructure professionally, this is the right way to make a project for setting up self-hosted applications. Not writing a bunch of bash scripts and putting them behind some web UI. We have well established infrastructure/config-as-code systems that are the gold standard which runs most clouds out there. Ansible is one of them. That’s the right tool for this job and a ton of professionals understand it and therefore can easily contribute for the ones who don’t to use. I’m unfortunatrly invested in SaltStack but I wouldn’t feel worried to deploy a (well revied) project built on Ansible. Then slap a web UI on it if you like but that should be another project that hooks uses this one.

Err, that’s not true on the last fee devices I’ve used, Pixels and a Fairphone. Installing apps from APK files doesn’t require me to enable dev options. In fact trying to install an APK from say Files brings me straight to the permission setting. It’s also per-app. It can be accessed under Settings > Apps > Special app access > Insyall unknown apps.

- Comment on Is self-hosting becoming too gatekept by power users? 1 week ago:
You bury your lede by mentioning “your project” at the end.
Basically means the user has to trust that project to do the right thing and be maintained to keep their setup secure.

Same. No WAN ingress without VPN.
- Comment on Is self-hosting becoming too gatekept by power users? 1 week ago:
“If you can’t configure Docker, reverse proxies, and Yaml files, you shouldn’t be self-hosting.”
If this is an example of gatekeeping, I think you are misjudging.
Whenever self-hosting there’s a very real risk of exposing your private data to the internet. Potentially a lot more private data than you’d otherwise expose via cloud providers. This risk necessitates a basic understanding of some of the importand bits and how to operate them securely. If not for that, then anything would go.
Understanding docker, reverse proxy, and YAML which is used to configure those is part of probably the simplest way to get to secure self-hosting. I’d add a self-hosted VPN to access local resources. I’m not aware of a magic UI solution that does it all and securely. Docker compose files are very accessible. A couple of those followed by
docker compose up -dand you have a basic env up and running. - Comment on Contacted by the US Secret Service & the AI Surveillance Center Dystopia 1 week ago:

- Comment on Palantir CEO Says a Surveillance State Is Preferable to China Winning the AI Race 2 weeks ago:
There’s research that shows the process of accumulating so much wealth both selects and creates sociopaths. This is why they’re very overrepresented in the upper class. Sure, not all of them are. Maybe you’d be the exception. I also think I’d be the exception but I’m not too confident. :D

The only important indicator. Everything else is window dressing.

You make Karp sad. Why won’t you buy his profit-driven narrative?
- Comment on Palantir CEO Says a Surveillance State Is Preferable to China Winning the AI Race 2 weeks ago:
Of course he does. But false dichotomy aside, China has a good chance winning the AI race anyway. Given their existing work, the investment they’re doing in higher education, the internationally trained talent the got, and the industrial base to make cheap energy and hardware, I think at the very least China has a decent chance to create equivalent tools at a lower price than whatever the US AI industry creates.
