       Time for a proper introduction!I'm an open-source enthusiast and self-hosting masochist. Initially a #JavaScript developer, still doing all things web, big #WebAssembly fan, recovering conference addict. I am also a #DevRel focusing on #DevEx & OSS communities in particular and a staunch advocate of flexible, async remote work.I co-founded #RustFest¹ with @jer & @skade :ferris: I post about #conferences, #remoteWork, my #homelab & #selfhosting hobby (currently rebuilding, follow along at #homelabNG )At my day job at https://radiopaedia.org I mostly complain about Ruby/Rails or DICOM² :ablobcatbongokeyboard: I'm a Hungarian living in Tallinn with my two dogs @lumi & @iris :blobdogheart: Follow #pupdate, or #doggytrip for our travel updates.Contacts: link in bio!📸 by Juli Racsko___¹ proper fediverse presence coming soon, in the meantime check out @eurorust!² Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DICOM#introduction #imaginaryVintageLPs

       @hannah I believe this is called the "Danish yearn" :eyebrows:

       Orbán is speaking. He accepts defeat and has already congratulated Magyar Péter.TISZA currently stands to take a ⅔ majority in the parliament (largely thanks to changes to the elections system made by FIDESZ in the past decade).Phew.

       Péter Magyar's victory speech. He drives the point home, over and over again, that he plans to reunite Hungarians, regardless of party alignment.Pledges to start a spring cleaning and ensure that Hungary stops being "következményeknélküli ország" (a country in which deeds have no repercussions).He reaffirms that Hungary was, is and will always be a European country, he promises cooperative stance with Europe and neighbors, goes to Brussels to "bring back the funding that Hungarians deserve".

       Another important moment in Péter Magyar's victory speech specifically calls out making Hungary a country in which “noone shall be ostracized for thinking differently, for loving differently, for believing differently than the majority” — with the crowd going wild after the second part, as he pledges to build a platform radically different to their hatemongering, xenophobic and homophobic christian-nationalist predecessors.Also add “corrupt” to that list of the Fidesz’ called-out sins, when he goes on to proclaim he set out to build a country in which “it matters not, who your acquaintances are, but one's qualities as a person”.As far as rhetoric goes, if we get only half of this to pass we're already going to be light years beyond the current sorry state of affairs in Hungary... 🤞

       @aud IIRC (last time I checked) even datacenter-grade NVidia GPUs can only do SR-IOV gpu slicing when you pay nv a subscription?I have workstation-grade A2000/A4000s which work great when passed into a VM but you can't share them IIRC. :(

       The minister for Social Services and Family Affairs in the new TISZA government was named on Friday to be dr. Kátai-Németh Vilmos.Not only he is blind, and the first ever disabled minister to hold office in Hungarian history, he is a lawyer (he decided to enroll into law school after he got thrown out of a grocery store with his assistance dog!) and a martial arts enthusiast. He is a black-belt aikido master who also developed his own self defense techniques he named "White Sword" to help his fellow blind compatriots protect themselves. He says he frequently jokes "Where law cannot help me, I rely on my fist. When my fist cannot help me, I will rely on the law."https://telex.hu/belfold/2026/04/24/katai-nemeth-vilmos-szocialis-es-csaladugyi-miniszter-tisza-kormany

       @devsimsek > Human-generated data is irreplaceable. The “internet is running out of training data” problem just got mathematically formalized.Yeah I think the AI con mob has realized this already (but of course not saying the quiet part out loud). With Satya whining about people calling it slop and the AI industry trying to force it down everyone's throats no matter the cost (e.g. Copilot) I think they realize that there is only so much internet and historical content they can use to train their models - now they want *you* to help train it for them. Prompt Claude to spit out some code, ask Copilot for a PR review, and _interact_ with it, pointing out where it was stupid, confirming when it did a good job, by virtue of interacting with an AI model you are improving it with this exact, essential human input.

       @xgranade I also don't think it's just the money, I think part of the extreme push for making AI unavoidable is because they have exhausted easily extracted training sources (scraping the internet) and now need to reach for fracking (free training from your interactions using the AI).https://flaki.social/@flaki/116477780283277638RT: https://flaki.social/users/flaki/statuses/116477780283277638

       Guess leaving the winter tires on the car for a bit longer was the right decision

       RE: https://mastodon.social/@glyph/117226760121627412Even if I plugged a mac mini directly into my solar charger and decided it can only work when the sun shines, and nothing else is using that power* that wouldn't suddenly make local inference "ethical and perfectly okay".There are many reasons (see the blogpost), but to point out one: "open weight" models still got trained *somehow*. It's a "sunk cost" now, yes, but that doesn't absolve you of the responsibility to people/nature/etc. who paid the price.I can hear you yell "yes yes buuut critical minerals! coffee!! chocolate, you double-standards dickpickle!!!". And yes, but we *acknowledge* the harms there and (at least some of us try to) do better. Fairphones exist, fair-trade cocoa & coffee beans exist. All the AI cabal ever done is dismiss/minimize the problems and thunder on…___* which is a thought that keeps knocking around in my braincase for the generalized "any computing hardware" case. Think SETI/FoldAtHome but using excess *solar* and not "idle compute" as a triggerRT: https://mastodon.social/users/glyph/statuses/117226760121627412
