Power Loss but Still Online with Fiber Connection
Interesting experience, this has happened twice now. When house looses power I am still online now that I have moved to Fiber.
It feels a bit eerie. My network and computers, TV, media center, etc are all on UPS so they just keep going. Things just get really quite which is interrupted by just the periodic beeps of the UPS systems.
Does anyone know why my new Fiber connection does this but my old system which was bonded DSL did not? I know back in the early days of DSL I could do this, but some where along the way it stopped being power outage resistant.
Amazon blocks AI bots/crawlers from Facebook(Meta), Google, Huawei, Mistral and others, amid commerce battle
Amazon is desperately trying to stop AI companies from training models on its data. They just added six more AI-related crawlers to the blacklist from Facebook(Meta), Google, Huawei, Mistral and others. A month ago we saw that they added Claude, Perplexity and a different Google crawler.Some of those are to prevent access to Amazon at training, others to block features like deep research. The blacklist is in the publicly accessible robots.txt file. Assuming those crawlers are well-behaved, they will now stop accessing Amazon. It is notable that Amazon seems to be the only one actively fighting this - Walmart and eBay have not many any changes.
Amazon is a treasure trove of ecommerce data. I think it is too late to stop AI training - Amazon's data is already in the datasets ChatGPT and others are using. But Amazon is definitely not interested in helping anyone build the future of AI shopping. If that is indeed the future, Amazon wants to build it itself.

Replication of Quantum Factorisation Records with an 8-bit Home Computer, an Abacus, and a Dog
AbstractThis paper presents implementations that match and, where possible, exceed current quantum factorisation records using a VIC-20 8-bit home computer from 1981, an abacus, and a dog. We hope that this work will inspire future efforts to match any further quantum factorisation records, should they arise.

Code of conduct. moderation policies
julian@community.nodebb.org does NodeBB have an out-of-the-box TOS or code of conduct or something similar, or do you want to put one together for ActivityPub.space specifically?
My experience in the past has been that it's a lot better to have a CoC in place before you need it, rather than trying to write one as a crisis is unfolding.
I think if this server is going to be linked to from the SocialCG and other W3C sub-groups, it should probably have a stated code of conduct that's compatible with the W3C's Positive Work Environment policy:

US judge halts Republican effort to expand fast-track deportations
That expedited removal process has for nearly three decades been used to quickly return migrants apprehended at the border. But in January, the administration expanded its scope to cover non-citizens apprehended anywhere in the United States who could not show they had been in the country for two years.
The policy mirrored one the Trump administration adopted in 2019 that Democratic President Joe Biden's administration later rescinded, and immigration authorities have made "aggressive" use of the new removal power in recent months, Cobb said.
But she said that unlike the population of migrants traditionally subject to expedited removal who were detained shortly after crossing the border, the group now being targeted had long since entered the country.
"That means that they have a weighty liberty interest in remaining here and therefore must be afforded due process under the Fifth Amendment," she said. "When it exponentially expanded the population subject to expedited removal, the Government did not, however, in any way adapt its procedures to this new group of people."
US court rules many of Trump's global tariffs are illegal
A US appeals court has ruled that most tariffs issued by US President Donald Trump are illegal, setting up a potential legal showdown that could upend his foreign policy agenda.
The ruling affects Trump's so-called "reciprocal" tariffs, imposed on most countries around the world, as well as other tariffs slapped on China, Mexico and Canada.
In a 7-4 decision, the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit rejected Trump's argument that the tariffs were permitted under an emergency economic powers act, calling them "invalid as contrary to law".
The ruling will not take effect until 14 October, to give the administration time to ask the US Supreme Court to take up the case.

Chicago mayor, Brandon Johnson, signs EO that directs city police not to collaborate with federal agents in immigration enforcement
Brandon Johnson will set out guidance for the city’s agencies and law enforcement, CNN reported, “in the midst of escalating threats from the federal government”.
Last week, the White House requested that a US military base on the outskirts of Chicago be made available to assist with immigration operations, as the Trump administration plans a broader takeover of Democratic-run “sanctuary cities”.
Johnson’s order “affirms” that Chicago police will not “collaborate with federal agents on joint law enforcement patrols, arrest operations, or other law enforcement duties including civil immigration enforcement”, CNN reported.
It also says city departments should “pursue all available legal and legislative avenues to resist coordinated efforts from the federal government”.

Anagrammi, doppi sensi, giochi di parole
I doppi sensi e i giochi di parole sono sempre stati la nostra passione ma nel tempo abbiamo scoperto un modo nuovo di approcciarsi alla scrittura per far riflettere e nascondere messaggi “subliminali” nelle frasi: gli anagrammi che, se usati bene, diventano un mezzo di satira potentissimo.
101 Anagrammi Zen
Cosa vuoi che sia un anagramma, si prendono le lettere di una parola e se ne creano altre di senso compiuto cambiando le posizioni di consonanti e vocali. Eravamo comunque convinti che dagli arci-noti “donna” “danno”, “mela” “male”, “la verità rivelata” o “teatro” “attore” non si potesse andare troppo lontano.
Alla fine però ci siamo dovuti ricredere quando abbiamo conosciuto un libro “101 anagrammi zen” da cui si è sviluppata una comunità molto attiva sui social commerciali (X, Facebook, Instagram).
Il primo incontro con 101 anagrammi zen è stato una notizia del Corriere Della Sera su Gianni Morandi e nei commenti al post in Facebook era scritto così:
101 anagrammi zen:“Gianni Morandi —> i manoni grandi”.
L’artista in questione ha davvero le mani grandi, e con quell’anagramma abbiamo capito quanto tali giochi di parole possano diventare un’arma potentissima, perché se parlando di Adamo ed Eva esce fuori il solito “mela = male”, ecco arrivare “social = il caos”! Oppure “Piero Angela = genial opera”, “Giacomo Leopardi = godiamoci parole” (ma anche “godi, porco maiale”)!
In seguito, sfogliando la pagina, abbiamo trovato satira potente verso politici e personaggi sportivi ma anche frasi a effetto l’una stereotipo dell’altra.
Ci sono persone secondo le quali un uomo e una donna non possono essere amici? Perfetto! Noi non siamo d’accordo con un simile pensiero perché siamo un uomo e una donna amici da diversi anni, ma un partecipante al network degli anagrammi ha creato un gioco molto carino che noi riportiamo così com’è, scusandoci per non citare l’autore del quale ci sfugge purtroppo il nome:
“L’amicizia tra uomo e donna?” —> “T’amo, inizia un caldo amore”.
Ma come si creano questi giochi di parole?
Fin dai primi giorni in cui abbiamo conosciuto “101 anagrammi zen” ci chiedevamo come fosse possibile ottenere la frase anagrammata come continuazione, sensata, di quella originale e nel tempo abbiamo capito il trucco: prendi l’originale, estrai una parola chiave da cui partire e sposta le lettere; sicuramente, l’autore dell’anagramma sull’amicizia, avrà estratto “amore” dalla frase “l’amicizia tra uomo e donna” e piano piano ha ricomposto gli altri termini con le lettere mancanti.
Nulla di magico quindi, è tutta questione di quali siano le idee dell’enigmista! Infatti noi potremmo continuare l’anagramma ponendo le dovute condizioni. Amore sì, ma…
L’amicizia tra uomo e donna? —>T’amo, inizia un caldo amore! —>
Iniziamo, ma cada l’untore!
Giusto perché se l’amicizia è con Valentino Talluto non si metta in testa di fare strani scherzi perché lui addosso ha l’HIV quello cattivo, non quello senziente dei nostri racconti.
Ma parliamo d’altro. Gli omofobi quando si lamentano di venir silenziati per le loro farneticazioni, mettono sempre in mezzo “il pensiero unico”.
Questo è fin troppo banale, già “eros + peni = pensiero” sarebbe sufficiente a identificare i soggetti ma ce ne sta uno ancora di più esplicito:
Eros + i peni in culo = il pensiero unico
Oppure “l’unico pensiero? —> Eros, peni in cu…” Insomma basta, ci siamo capiti.
Abbiano solo il coraggio di negarlo, adesso! Meglio che ci auto-censuriamo.
Dopodiché, essendo noi un blog a tema “stigma e HIV”, abbiamo accettato la sfida creando il personaggio virus HIV senziente che aiutasse gli umani a risolvere i problemi. E come? Con gli enigmi, naturalmente! Solo con la pratica si riescono a trovare giochi coinvolgenti anche se, alla fine, non li usiamo spesso perché non tutti amano fermarsi a riflettere quando leggono.
Costruire un anagramma positivo
Il più semplice: “genitore uno —> untore genio”, oppure “chi vuole —> culo e HIV?” Non necessita una laurea in enigmistica per arrivarci. Diverso invece è per un evento musicale su cui abbiamo trovato un messaggio pazzesco.
Il cantante Elio e il figlio di Enzo Jannacci avevano organizzato una serie di concerti estivi chiamata:
“Ci vuole orecchio in tour”.
Va bene, “in tour” è fin troppo banale. Sposta la “u” all’inizio e la “i” alla fine, senza toccare le lettere in mezzo: “untori” è sotto gli occhi di tutti.
Dopodiché scomponendo “orecchio” esce “io cerco” lasciando fuori l’h, che noi porteremo sulle parole precedenti: “io cerco untori, chi vuole”.
Ma considerando “chi vuole” come anagramma di “culo e HIV”…
“Ci vuole orecchio in tour”, vale a dire “io cerco culo, untori e HIV”. Bene, complimenti. Annuncio sporcaccione servito in un piatto d’argento.
Oppure su un giornale ci è capitato sotto gli occhi questo: “a scuola positivo”, riferito a un ragazzino che si era presentato in classe col covid e aveva fatto strage.
E noi per non farci mancare l’anagramma abbiamo usato le lettere in questo modo:
“Si, culo a posto, vai —> a scuola positivo!”
Immaginando la scena del ragazzotto col sedere per aria e chi gli dà un bello sculaccione.
Amilcare Pollini
Riportiamo dal CICAP (Comitato Italiano per il Controllo delle Affermazioni sulle Pseudoscienze) la storia di Amilcare Pollini. Questo personaggio, morto nel 1957, si riteneva “il duomo di Milano” (dio più uomo) insomma un sedicente nuovo Messia. Poi non importa se la parola “duomo” deriva da “Domus” cioè casa, e con eventuali incroci fra uomo e divinità poco abbia a che fare.
Il tizio, influenzato dalla moglie “filosofa esoterica”, si è inventato una teoria secondo cui “ogni parola rivela la sua funzione” e “la lotta fra Dio e il demonio si nasconde nelle parole”.
Perfetto amico, per te l’anagramma maschilista “donna” = “danno” è azzeccato ma intanto caro Amilcare fatti creare un personaggio ispirato a te.
Fonte: “Sì, il duomo di Milano sono io“, articolo che invitiamo a leggere per conoscere la curiosa storia di questo enigmatico personaggio.
Concludiamo omaggiandolo con la sua passione, “Amilcare Pollini —> il clima in parole”.

Why China has a tech manufacturing advantage over the U.S.
While Americans lament their crumbling infrastructure, China is rapidly expanding high-speed rail, subway systems, and airports across the country. Chinese tech products, from autonomous vehicles to drones to addiction-inducing algorithms, have won over global consumers and put companies such as BYD, DJI, and TikTok in pole position.China’s prowess in engineering and manufacturing is now at the center of the U.S.–China rivalry in artificial intelligence. Despite Washington’s efforts to block China from advancing in AI, the country has continued to make progress in developing chips and training state-of-the-art large language models.
Dan Wang moved to Canada at age seven from Yunnan in southwestern China. A former tech analyst at Gavekal Dragonomics, his stints in Hong Kong, Beijing, and Shanghai allowed him to closely observe China’s trajectory. In his new book, Breakneck: China’s Quest to Engineer the Future, Wang compares the country’s “engineering” state, which favors large-scale manufacturing, with America’s “lawyerly” society, which he believes hinders new construction and development.

Android deep links to app content
Can we agree to have a standard for app deep links on Android (and maybe in other OS's)?
I haven't done my research on the topic, also I am not a mobile or Android developer. But I know there can be links that apps can open.
developer.android.com/training…
Maybe every implementation of a GUI for the ActivityPub should have a "open in app" button that will prompt for any of the compatible apps installed on your device tô open that content.
Example 1: I am in this Forum (activitypub.space) and I want to reply to this thread using my Mastodon account. I click the button "open in app" and chose moshidon@floss.social as the app. Then Moshidon shows me the original post on its UI and I can reply using my Mastodon account.
Example 2: I'm browsing Lemmy on voyagerapp@mastodon.social and find a really interesting and funny meme I want to boost on Mastodon. I click the three dots (kebab) button and choose the option "open in another app…". The OS (Android, mainly) prompts me which app I want to open with. Again, I choose Moshidon e boost it to my followers.
It would be a very nice way to integrate these apps. The scheme protocol keyword could be "activitypub".

Identification of such conditions is important since it not only facilitates our understanding of the environments in which Legionella bacteria survive and are dispersed, but may also aid disease detection and prediction. Findings from this research avenue are likely to become increasingly pertinent to public health policy and practice given changes in global climate [14, 16].
Specific weather variables can be used to better understand the underlying association between the weather patterns and the incidence of LD. The possible transition towards a warmer climate with fewer days with precipitation but with more abrupt changes and heavier rainfall, as described in other science fields, could mean that the epidemiological profile of some diseases are affected by the weather changes [Reference Campbell-Lendrum, Corvalán and Neira22]. However, the underlying biological mechanisms of the associations between weather and LD incidence still remain unexplained. Additional research in this field could help provide more evidence for the biological plausibility of ‘warm, wet weather’ being associated with more LD cases.

in reply to ☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆ • • •You can run llama.cpp on CPU. LLM inference doesn't need any features only GPUs typically have, that's why it's possible to make even simpler NPUs that can still run the same models. GPUs just tend to be faster. If the GPU in question is not faster than an equally priced CPU, you should use the CPU (better OS support).
Edit: I looked at a bunch real-world prices and benchmarks, and read the manual from Huawei and my new conclusion is that this is the best product on the market if you want to run a model at modest speed that doesn't fit in 32GB but does in 96GB. Running multiple in parallel seems to range from unsupported to working poorly, so you should only expect to use one.
Original rest of the comment, made with the assumption that this was slower than it is, but had better drivers:
~~The only benefit to this product over CPU is that you can slot multiple of them and they parallelise without needing to coordinate anything with the OS. It's also a very linear cost increase as long as you have the PCIe lanes for it. For a home user with enough money for one or two of these, they would be much better served spending the money on a fast CPU and 256GB system RAM.~~
~~If not AI, then what use case do you think this serves better?~~

It's comparable to an M4, maybe a single order of magnitude faster than a ~1000 euro 9960X, at most, not multiple. And if we're considering the option of buying used, since this is a brand new product and less available in western markets, the CPU-only option with an EPYC and more RAM will probably be a better local LLM computer for the cost of 2 of these and a basic computer.
