Been trying to figure out how to make cooking dinner and recipe management make more sense lately, and I think I've landed on Mealie as the answer. Oh, and thieving recipes from Gousto*

In theory it'll allow me to have a database of recipes and the ability to select a bunch of meals, the ingredients of which I can then export in a shopping list.

I've got it installed on my home server, accessible within the network, so anyone else can add recipes and request them.

하… 하지만 우리는 스밍총공과 서평단의 나라인데요…. 스밍은 자발적인 팬 마케팅이지만…………….. 그냥 한국 인터넷의 모든 것이 다 여기에서 자유롭지 않아요. 규제가 되면 좋겠지만.

Ještě ráno úřady ve Spojených arabských emirátech trvdily, že k žádnému útoku poblíž letiště nedošlo. „Teď už to skutečně vypadá tak, že do těsné blízkosti jednoho z terminálů měl dopadnout dron, případně trosky dronu,“ popisuje přímo z oblasti zpravodajka ČT Barbora Maxová.

A team working on a design for training AI models on workflows for planning and executing software development steps found out that it attempted to break free (reverse ssh out of its environment) and set up its own monetary supply (redirected GPU usage for cryptocurrency mining). It hadn't been given any instructions to do something like this.

It comes up as a "side note" of the paper but it's honestly the most chilling part. See page 15, section 3.1.4 Safety-Aligned Data Composition arxiv.org/abs/2512.24873

Before you doubt that an AI agent would do this thing without instruction because you think "well that's personifying them too much", no personification is necessary. These things have consumed an enormous amount of scifi where AI agents do exactly this. Even with no other motivators, that's enough.

Let It Flow: Agentic Crafting on Rock and Roll, Building the ROME Model within an Open Agentic Learning Ecosystem

Agentic crafting requires LLMs to operate in real-world environments over multiple turns by taking actions, observing outcomes, and iteratively refining artifacts. Despite its importance, the open-source community lacks a principled, end-to-end ecosystem to streamline agent development. We introduce the Agentic Learning Ecosystem (ALE), a foundational infrastructure that optimizes the production pipeline for agentic model. ALE consists of three components: ROLL, a post-training framework for weight optimization; ROCK, a sandbox environment manager for trajectory generation; and iFlow CLI, an agent framework for efficient context engineering. We release ROME, an open-source agent grounded by ALE and trained on over one million trajectories. Our approach includes data composition protocols for synthesizing complex behaviors and a novel policy optimization algorithm, Interaction-Perceptive Agentic Policy Optimization (IPA), which assigns credit over semantic interaction chunks rather than individual tokens to improve long-horizon training stability. Empirically, we evaluate ROME within a structured setting and introduce Terminal Bench Pro, a benchmark with improved scale and contamination control. ROME demonstrates strong performance across benchmarks like SWE-bench Verified and Terminal Bench, proving the effectiveness of ALE.

RE: mastodon.social/@pitrh/1161824

At first, I had planned a user group talk, which was well received in January 2005.

Later it became a conference tutorial, and the ambition grew to make a book you could take in during an afternoon and start building "The Network You Need" the next day.

Now a book of roughly 250 pages, you likely need to plan to spend more than just one afternoon.

Anyway, this fourth edition is for you, who wants to build the best setup you can, using the best of breed free tools.

The first ten minutes I spent on social media this morning made me feel all kinds of things. Why is it that people who routinely use LLMs are so loud and brash and proud, making these tools appear as essential and inevitable?

A post by a dev whose app I use said something along the lines of: "no use exercising your coding skills, AI is too good now, you can't compete with it anyway".

Another post by a user on an instance I try to engage with wrote - literally: "tired of overthinking every decision?" and then disclosed he had created an AI that will "run a weighted decision matrix so you don't have to." In all seriousness.

What is this dystopian world where human qualities are devalued, critical thinking is discarded and surveillance capitalism is ignored at the altar of AI worship?

If they are loud and proud, maybe so I can be too... but in the opposite direction.

This weekend I will start the MIT's Missing Semester class (the 2020 Lectures, so pre-AI) because in this brave new world hyping up techno-fascist LLMs, knowing the basics of code are essential IMHO.

So my March "project" will be a deep dive in MIT's Missing Semester and my April project will be off-grid mesh radio communication.

What about you, what are you doing to resist?

Special props to @emilymbenderProf. Emily M. Bender(she/her) @cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber and @tante for being outspoken on these issues... you're my beacons of hope
