Das Bild zeigt zwei flache, braune Papierscheiben, die nebeneinander liegen und leicht ineinander überlappen. Auf der Oberfläche der Scheiben sind mehrere kleine, dunkle Punkte zu sehen, die wie Insekten oder Spinnenteile aussehen. Die Papierscheiben haben eine leicht rauhe Textur und sind auf einem weißen Hintergrund platziert, der die Scheiben hervorhebt. Die Scheiben scheinen aus einem einfachen, unverzierungten Papier zu bestehen, und die dunklen Punkte sind gleichmäßig verteilt.

Honda makes it 50cc bigger every so many years 😂
The Transalp started with "my" 600cc engine, then came the 650, followed by the 700, and apparently now a 750.
Back in the days you had the 600cc Transalp and the 750cc Africa Twin. But the modern Africa Twin is an 1100cc, quite a bit bigger than the original 750...

🆕 Update! 🍵
Previously I informed you on the ability to connect to a #Forgejo via #Anvil. My main objective was to fetch and display a remote profile in Anvil.
Thank you for the feedback here! Keep it coming.
I continued the development. Today I want to talk about the piece called a #project. #ForgeFed defines it as follows:
Represents a project, a planned endeavor that involves usage of tools related to the software development lifecycle. It may be a software project, but may also be totally unrelated to software development. For example, it may be a book that is being written using Markdown files kept in a Git repository. A Project object is a way to collect forge related components together under one title.
To me, that sounds interesting. Yes, I'm a software developer. I've seen things. Not only libraries and apps but also blogs. Or websites. Or journals.
You can do a lot with git. The ability to branch out, rollback, revert etc. is liberating.
So what are „forge related components” then?
The definition is a bit spread out. Let me quote one example:
The term 'component' used below refers to a forge related service actor. This may be a service of a type defined in ForgeFed (such as Repository, TicketTracker, PatchTracker), or a service defined in some extension.
Repository is a git repository. TicketTracker is sometimes known as Issue Tracker. PatchTracker can also be called Merge Requests or Pull Requests.
What's notably absent is planning activity. That's what you might expect from forges like GitHub.
I feel this makes the concept a little bit fuzzy; you can talk with someone about „project” and mean different things.
What you can do now in Anvil (after logging in) is to head to /projects/new (e.g. anvil.demo.jaenis.ch/projects/… ) and enter a name and description to create a Forgejo repository (with all tabs except code turned off -- Funnily I wasn't able to turn this one off via API even though the web UI allows it). The form validation is lacking here. Sometimes I get a message (e.g. if the repository with that name already exists), sometimes I get a codeword (e.g. when you use illegal characters in the repo name).
I haven't found a good way to handle these with a nice UX. Guess it will result in some issues filed against Forgejo down the line.
ForgeFed has something called Grant flow (used in several places). It's tricky to implement this when the backend I want to talk to not really has the concept. So I do these dances against the Anvil API but always follow the happy path.
I'd like to have your experience here: Can you describe permissions and team setups you have defined to control who can do what? (Create repos in an organisation, toggle the visibility of tabs like issues or releases, create new releases, push to code, accept PRs etc.)
I'd like to create a set of flows that mimic then so I can better approach the Grant flow described in the spec. The real challenge is to have it work across forges. We aren't there yet.
My next steps are going to be „adding components to a project”, i.e. allowing to set these checkboxes. Plus the ability to define teams.
I need to brew more tea 🫖

Unit Observer reports that Russian forces are regrouping along the Dobropillia axis, likely preparing for a new offensive phase. The 155th and 40th Naval Infantry Brigades, possibly joined by the 177th Regiment, have been redeployed to Donetsk Oblast.
Airborne troops from the 11th Brigade and elements of the 76th Division have also been spotted, though their objective remains unclear. Meanwhile, the 70th Motor Rifle Division is shifting from Kherson to the Bakhmut sector.

Prof. Emily M. Bender(she/her) reshared this.
That said, I wanted to provide a couple of corrections. When I problematize the term "AI", the goal is to get people to stop using it. "Many tools that use AI" doesn't mean anything. "Many tools that are sold as 'AI'" is okay. But more importantly: those study-aid podcasts systems are TRASH and nothing like automatic transcription tools.
>>
Prof. Emily M. Bender(she/her) reshared this.
Automatic transcription takes an audio signal and produces text. It's reasonably clear how to evaluate how well those systems work, both systematically (should we use this system for our purposes?) and in a particular use (is that really what was in the audio?).
>>
The same is absolutely not true for Google's NotebookLM which takes in academic articles and outputs something that sounds like a podcast. It is much harder to evaluate that in general, and especially difficult in the particular case. Having listened to a fake podcast about a paper will undoubtedly shape how you perceive the paper, if you even take the time to go read the paper itself.
>>
I generally avoid consuming synthetic media if at all possible, but did have to sit through a couple of those LLM-"podcasts" in the context of media interviews about them. They're horrid.

The unit, which covered 10,000 m² (including 4,000 m² of active cultivation), was planted with 15 key traditional summer crops such as tomato, zucchini, faqous, okra, & sunflower. It was intended to supply the Local Seed Bank in preparation for the upcoming agricultural season.
The Local Seed Bank is twinned with Exeter Seed Bank in the UK. They have set up a fundraiser in response.

U.S. producers of corn and soybeans have sent dire warnings as prices for their crops have crashed in recent years as Trump’s trade war whipsaws farmers.
Corn prices have plunged more than 50% from their 2022 peak, while production costs are down just 3% in that span, translating to a loss of 85 cents per bushel, the NCGA said, adding that the outlook for next year is worse with even lower prices and higher costs.

Rural America is suffering an economic crisis as crop prices plunge — ‘U.S. soybean farmers cannot survive a prolonged trade dispute’
"Prices continue to drop and at the same time our farmers are paying significantly more for inputs and equipment."Jason Ma (Fortune)
Corn growers are mostly giant corporations and the US grows way too much corn, in astonishingly large monocropped plains. Having a massive surplus of corn means they put it in everything, including petrol, trying to find uses for all of it. Its GMO. Its killing pollinators and butterflies.
Obviously I don't want small hold or organic farms to suffer, but if Trump reduces the acreage of corn and soy, he will help the environment by accident.
@celesteh all true, but the most likely outcome is that it'll be the small independent farmers that go under, and big corps will scoop up their assets further increasing capital concentration at the top.
Also, even if the whole corn industry does need to go away, this isn't going to be a controlled unwinding of it and will lead to a huge economic shock in the US.
