  • Would absolutely love to see the EU fix the fedual kingdom style Interfaces of US cloud offerings. Like you can use things like Rancher to create a open interface that Interfaces with the absolute mess that is AWS/Azure/GCP/VMWare but it’s just because they want to pretend their all just so special, which it’s just network and compute for 99% of the time and the other one percent established open source software preconfigured on network and compute

    Don’t get me wrong hyperscailing infrastructure is fucking impressive to me (and the EU should lean with Open compute there IMHO), but the Interfaces I swear are intentionally garbage to lock people in.





  • Do what you can. A little more each day if it gets easier. Understand we can’t fight all the worlds evils alone, but we aren’t alone so whatever your fight is helps all of us.

    I push for opensource, self hosting, being self sufficient, unionizing (at work, and for tenets), forming coops (worker, community, housing, and even producer coops), do mutual aid, support charities through donations sure but also volunteering. I also try to buy less, if you need it you need it, but if you don’t then why support corps like Walmart or Amazon for them to take those profits to undermine us.

    Again it’s not about perfection or even self actualization, it’s just every time we can empower ourselves and others we can shift the power balance.









  • I am looking forward to latent coordinates plus model being metadata for some frames of videos at least.

    You don’t need total precision for every visual representation but it could work as a great compression technique. Assuming we get the GenAI power usage down.

    I personally would love to see better simulation of complex systems in games. Games are how we as humans explore the world in safe constraints to learn and grow with less risk. A lot of the limits of games though are just limits of the creators understanding and level of effort it takes to represent that detail of the world, but it means that lesson around the now missing detail can’t be learned.

    Another one for me, tailored voice and visuals for technical talks.

    Again a lot of what is trying to convened is the actual technical content, but language, accents, verbal tics, cultural specific metaphors, generic or uninteresting visuals can all act as a barrier to that information. Seeing automatic content translation to improve my personal viewing style would be awesome to me!
