#robustness — Public Fediverse posts

New post: AI: The robustness imperative

If AI is the next infrastructure layer, the real question is not just capability.
It’s robustness: ownership, open models, digital sovereignty, and resilience under stress.

I connect Olivier Hamant’s biology lens to AI policy, economics, and commons governance.

Hey FOSS-community, I'm trying to compare #GitLab and @forgejo.

Some important aspects are:

- #DigitalSovereignty (most important)
- #SelfHosting
- #Collaboration between instances (#federation)
- #PublicValues
- Prevention of #VendorLockIn
- #Scalability
- #Robustness
- Guaranteed #support by professionals
- Software #freedom
- #Longevity
- Suitability for the #government

Do you have any thoughts on this? Or any useful links?

I really liked this informal community poll and thematic analysis on SLO usage. It does a better job at highlighting the hurdles to adopting them at a Company Who Is Not Google than a lot of "Here's how to do SLOs" pieces that just don't cover it.

If there is ever a "Seeking SLOs" book, this should be the first chapter.

Centuries ago, I published a manuscript on BioRχiv about the love/hate relationship between variability and robustness in embryogenesis.

And now, it's published in Science! I am so proud 🥳

https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adh1145

We went through three (3!) rounds of revisions. Although we did not change a comma in the abstract, the revisions improved the quality of the work very much (we nearly doubled the sample size and added an entire figure).
