‘A lightweight ActivityPub server’

littleFedi

One binary.
A whole fediverse server.

littleFedi is a small ActivityPub server written in Go. It ships as a single static executable with a server-rendered web interface, a Mastodon-compatible client API, a durable federation queue, moderation tools, and optional PostgreSQL and S3 support. No runtime to install, no services to wire together.

a viewpoint from academia regarding AI

It’s not the (Super) Intelligence, Stupid!

Artificial intelligence means different things to different people, ranging from neural networks used for image recognition to algorithms that generate an image, a video or a text when given a prompt describing the desired output. Text generating algorithms are commonly known as Large Language Models, LLMs for short. And this blog [post] mostly concerns this type of AI...

• Spymarks, not Watermarks

  A watermark is a visible mark embedded in a physical or digital medium to verify authenticity or assert ownership.

  A spymark is a hidden signal that makes your work traceable without your knowledge or consent.

  It’s hardly surprising that Google (and OpenAI) would be behind such “robust tracking mechanisms.” 😎

‘more vivid and literary’

Webster's 1913 Dictionary (github)
by Tim Cieplowski (‘New project: Webster's 1913 Dictionary website‘)

It’s a static website serving the complete text of Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary from 1913.

James Somers wrote a popular blog post about Webster’s 1913, explaining how its definitions are more vivid and literary than what you’ll find in a modern dictionary.

There already exists another site, that I sometimes use, websters1913.com, but unfortunately it has an SSL cert issue, and is not very feature-rich.

I decided to build my own version, with a few additional features...
