  1. CW: My first time being interviewed at Inworld Review; CW: long (over 1,400 characters), Fediverse meta
    It has finally happened. I was a guest at Inworld Review and interviewed by Thirza Ember and James Atlloud of @HG Safari fame as well as Petlove Petshop today.

    Here's the video, redirected to Invidious. (Link instead of embedding so I hopefully don't have to spend months writing a visual description that'll take you days to read or listen to.)

    Better yet: Thirza wanted to interview me about the Fediverse. Good thing OpenSim users are already used to things being decentralised because OpenSim itself is. In fact, I could have told her that some of the tropes associated with OpenSim being decentralised apply to the Fediverse as well.

    Extra shoutouts to @Elena Rossini for her Fediverse video featured on fediverse.info and to @Dorena Verne as a good example of a grid manager (see Petlove's video in the video) because she has managed to move Dorenas World from a Windows server to a Debian server and considerably speeding it up in the process.

    For those who aren't familiar with Inworld Review: It's an OpenSim-themed talkshow on YouTube started by the late Mal Burns many years ago. His whole backlog of almost 400 episodes can be found here. And here is the channel on which Mal's former co-host continue Inworld Review without him with 62 episodes so far.

  3. ‘It saddens me that “looking cool” seems to have become preferable to “useful and usable” in the minds of application and operating system developers.’

  4. Generative AI for cloud operations can have downsides, including an acceleration of cloud application deployments that can lead to an almost reckless approach to application development, scaling issues as generative AI systems require significant compute and storage resources, and cost overruns due to the high cost of... infoworld.com/article/3700068/ #GenerativeAI #CloudOperations #AIChallenges #softcorpremium

  5. Hello again, R . . .

    R for sure has deficits (but so does python), but for exploratory data analysis, particularly ones heavy in statistics, R can sometimes shine. I still abhore passing variables into functions, but I get why for simple EDA one might want non-standard evaluation.

    R is making a comeback:
