  #podping The second podping.cloud host is in the gossip swarm now. Three more to go.

  #podping The gossip-listener is now called podping-gossipwatcher. You guys would be proud of me. I used docker across the board for all this stuff. :-)

  A "weight" is just a form of heuristic. Regression is literally built in to the LLM at a fundamental level. Re-weighting a model will always regress other weights. One slider gets pushed up and another goes down. It's impossible to get 100% unit test coverage in such a system. It's a beta test that never ends.

  I'm going to start closing channels on the Podcast Index lightning node starting today. The $240/month is no longer self sustaining and we lose about $200 on the node every month. It won't stop anyone from boosting in a podcast. We just always kept the channels free as a service so now if you open your own channel to somewhere you might have to pay for it. Our node's database is so humongous that all the normal tools (bos, rtl, etc) just error out. I'll be do...

  Filed a bug in Safari/WebKit: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=320657 This has been a multi-day rabbit hole that started with a poorly behaving CORS on Live365 and culminated with filing this Webkit bug report. If a server/cdn streams an unterminated body in response to an OPTIONS fetch (CORS preflight), Safari hangs indefinitely, waiting for the body to end. That isn't standards compliant. Chrome and Firefox properly look at the response headers only, close the request and m...

  I’m going to modify the csv upload endpoint to accept larger files. I’m thinking some are going to be a lot larger than 50mb. #api

  We’re in the mainframe/timeshare era of LLM’s right now. The PC era is coming. There were demand induced shortages back then too: https://www.nytimes.com/1988/03/12/us/shortage-of-memory-chips-has-industry-scrambling.html

  I think @theDanielJLewis@podcastindex.social proposal makes a ton of sense: https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/podcast-namespace/discussions/770

  podping gossip is holding up well after 96 hours of uptime across the swarm. This is encouraging.

  As mentioned in the last board meeting, podcast spam does make it into Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/vashikaran-in-uk-91-829-067-5088-tantrik-ramkali-is/id1558770631 Get your boyfriend back. cc: @theDanielJLewis

  The entirely foreseeable rug pull begins: https://startupfortune.com/anthropic-quietly-pulls-claude-code-from-pro-plan-and-hands-local-model-advocates-their-strongest-argument-yet/ Next up on the roadmap will be to neuter the $100/mth Max plan down to what the $20/mth Pro plan used to be. This won't be a reduction in hard token limits. It will be the normal "our new model is so awesome it just takes more tokens to use it" which is what they have said every time the...

  Currently finishing up the dead feeds export. I don't think it can be a public link because it contains feeds killed through DMCA requests so it will have to be a by request, research purposes only type thing. That, combined with the normal db export, will form the basis of the new model training data set which is what comes next. #projectslopandchop

  @merryoscar I show 426,000 hits to the pubnotify endpoint in the last 6 hours from Fountain. Is FOuntain flooding us with feed polling requests? If so, that is causing a major problem.

  This appears to be the podcast spam flavor of the moment: https://rss.buzzsprout.com/2611274.rss Seeing tons of it across hosts.

  The number of podcasts updating is going down and the total number of podcasts is going up faster than ever. The reason seems pretty obvious.
