LLMs are moving from generating artifacts to creating hyper-custom worlds on demand, but still lack the ability to natively perceive and audit what they create (Andrej Karpathy/@karpathy)

Some business advertising told me I should have a “growth mindset”. I don't like that at all. I want to be interested and interesting, caring, curious, loving, engaged, learning, teaching, kind, strong, weak, and open minded.
A “growth mindset” is what burns our planet.
It somehow is a condensed description of what is wrong with capitalism.

"The thing that concerns me most is violence, the use of force and the threat or the implementation of damage to enforce an opinion. As I said at the beginning, I'm a scientist. I relish facts. I'm interested in ideas. I'm curious about relationships. Violence is just the opposite of that. Violence is the way to gain power without ideas, and it reduces your resources, it stifles dissent and experimentation which we desperately need." — Dennis Meadows (Club Of Rome, Limits Of Growth)

John Iliffe has passed away. One of the best and most influential historians of Africa, member of the Dar es Salaam school and someone who did not go to conferences or use emails.
I read his Africans History of a Continent in my first lecture in African studies and it deeply influenced me. His Modern History of Tanganyika is the go to book for any topic in Tanzanian history.

https://philevents.org/event/show/152953
I will be speaking there, and in very good company. Maybe you know someone who might be interested in joining too!
Recipe for those interested:
Mix 20ml simple syrup (mix one cup sugar with one cup water in a saucepan and heat until dissolved, this makes enough for a lot of cocktails and keeps well in the fridge) with juice of half a lemon and about 15ml of aqua faba (water from can of chickpeas, red kidney beans also works well). Shake with lots of ice in cocktail shaker and strain into glass. If you're not strictly no-alcohol, add a dash of angostura bitters before shaking.
Enjoy in cool, twilit garden, ideally in a hammock while listening to the swifts screaming overhead...

It looks like I'm going to have some downtime in The Netherlands in late September / early October due to airline pricing (staying an extra two days after the event I'm attending saves $1200 on airfare, cutting the ticket price by >50% and more than justifying the extra meal/hotel cost)

Co-op Cloud is a really unique project that blurs some of the lines around what open source is. It's both a toolset and a federation, software and community, that can't really be disentangled. It is an exercise in community management, in software as a commons shared within a social (real) community, that's fascinating and inspiring.
I'd definitely recommend folks check it out, especially those interested in self-hosting for their community or activist circles.
I deleted my Reddit account years ago because I didn't need it. The feeds from the communities I was interested in were enough. However, I now find myself forced to create an account on that site just to visit it (several times), and old.reddit no longer exists.

In case anyone needs to know, if you jostle an inflorescence of yarrow over a piece of white paper, very small (1 mm) wasps fall out. Most tend to hop around instead of flying away.
