On the news of cohost shutting downI honestly never understood where #cohost's operating costs came from, originally I thought pay checks but even near the end they're still having $41k in expenses for only 17k active users. (almost $3,5/month/user) Does anyone know more about this? Is this a case of a company that should've moved away from AWS and onto a dedi or two, a long time ago? For reference, woof.tech on our latest calculable expense report were paying roughly 0,50 EUR (~$0,60) per user per month, and that's a number that would've only gone down the more users we'd have as our base costs remain very similar. (And we were storing a lot of posts from other instances not counting towards our user count, roughly >80% of our storage use!)I just can't figure out where their costs came from. And half a year ago they were even more excessive, the number I posted here is one of their more "optimal" months!

@penny Yeah some other people are telling me the same, but with $15k/month of income, surely you'd rather just keep the site online with one or two developers until:1. The website shrinks even further, making it unprofitable even with just basic maintenance2. The website grows over time, allowing you to bring more developers back onThat's a lot of money for a website, where people don't seem to be on because of future promises but because what's there right now. The product is profitable, active development of it isn't though

@electrocutie I genuinely think it's this, there is no other way right? I understand it for a website you're still very actively developing and dealing with unexpected growth, but I think they've known they're sinking for a good year now and I don't understand why they haven't resolved the hole in their bank account during this time(or at least not enough)

@j Another good trick is when they try to request images, to feed them poisoned images that hurt their dataset lol A 10GB file will likely never been downloaded in full, but a poisoned image will very likely make it into the model, ruining their efforts ;)

@izaya Modern phones have full blown high quality NAND + wear leveling. Using swap on your phone is no different then using swap on your computer with an SSD.I'm not too worried about wearing out the storage on my phone, but being able to swap out idle memory (which android will have a lot of) to disk to free up more memory for i/o cache or active processes is beneficial

After an isopropyl alcohol bath were back!!! Some ethernet ports are dead, some equipment is a little funkier than before, but hopefully it will last for a few days until I'm able to get replacements!!

Fellow mastodon moderators, there is study looking for additional participants! It might be interesting for you to participate, it's about mastodon and the shaping of new or improved moderation tools.If you have opinions about this, and would like to participate in this study hosted by Zhilin Zhang (From the University of Oxford), please check out and fill in the following form: https://forms.office.com/e/Kjkz00bDmPI believe that your input can be very valuable to them, there also is a compensation of ~€35 euro upon completion. Posting this because Zhilin asked me if I knew any other people who might would be willing to participate, and I thought this would be the best way to get the word out :) He was very pleasant to work with and I found the two hours to go over really quickly, finding out that I have a lot more opinions about this subject than I thought I would've had.Also just to note, other than a participant I'm not affiliated with this study in any other way 🐕 #MastoAdmin

Is anyone else experience this thing where your fellow senior engineers seem to be lobotomised by AI? I've had 4 different senior engineers in the last week come up with absolutely insane changes or code, that they were instructed to do by AI. Things that if you used your brain for a few minutes you should realise just don't work.They also rarely can explain why they make these changes or what the code actually does. I feel like I'm absolutely going insane, and it also makes me not able to trust anyones answers or analysis' because I /know/ there is a high chance they should asked AI and wrote it off as their own.I think the effect AI has had on our industry's knowledge is really significant, and it's honestly very scary.
