Unbelievable! The @fosstodon moderators have suspended the @djangonews account/bot for spam. Incredible community resource, oh let’s block it. What world are these people on? No-one has to follow it, if you don’t like the posts. Utterly backwards.

Hey @simon, can I ask, it’s quite (en-us) cool running an LLM locally, but I can’t help looking at the MONSTER amount of RAM I need to do so, and the entry price that represents. Maybe this will fall? Do you have a take? Thanks.

@webology I doubt a Mac Studio level of RAM will be the default in a couple of years… -- so unless the requirement falls, or that changes, I'm looking at running your own LLM as being (yet) a(nother) force multiplier for the already economically advantaged. Maybe Moore's Law works here? 🤷♀️

@simon and presumably they get better/smaller over time. OK. Thank you. 🎁

@malteengeler I thought the idea was there that they both descend into totalitarianism?

Catching up on @_chrismay's talk from #djangocon this morning. “HTML-ivating your Django web app's experience with HTMX, AlpineJS, and streaming HTML. “ Really good! The opening story about the world’s fastest website is just super.

Thinking about governments requiring encryption backdoors. The UK with Apple last week. Sweden here with Signal (potentially). Etc etc. As ever, there are arguments each way. Even if you’re pro encryption, you have to grant that. But look around. The pendulum is clearly swinging into the Misuse of Powers territory (to put it mildly). Anyone with even half an ounce of sense would be hitting pause on the Lets Empower the Authorities Further button. Doesn’t seem hard.https://swedenherald.com/article/signals-ceo-then-were-leaving-sweden
