I've been invited to do an AMA on Reddit tomorrow. Verifying that's really me!

@mglaman And you are very welcome. :)
@mglaman Thank YOU!
@mglaman @duane @katherined @jessicasachs @Shini92 indeed! The work he and others have done have absolutely transformed major Drupal upgrades — super simple now!
@duane @jessicasachs @Shini92 And speaking of testing, I must tag @mglaman whose work on phpstan with Drupal (and many other things) inspired this post. Sometimes you skim past a random post somewhere that reminds you to say thanks once in a while. :)
@katherined my favorite undermaintained project is #XCSoar https://xcsoar.org
Its a GPL2 FOSS tactical glide computer that many #paraglider and #soaring pilots rely on for making 500+km flights just with wind and sun. The appstore download has 100'000 users and very few contributers: https://github.com/XCSoar/XCSoar/graphs/contributors
@katherined I love this!
I'd like to tag @jessicasachs, @Shini92, and the rest of the new faker.js team on #GratitudeTuesday and thank them for their work over the last year after the previous maintainer rage-quit the project. It's an important tool for testing, and testing is important for security and reliability. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@duane @jessicasachs @Shini92 This is a perfect example! There are so many people quietly carrying a lot of our virtual baggage, and I'd like to know more about them all.
I think we should start #GratitudeTuesday (or any day) to acknowledge people quietly doing the work that keeps us all running, keeps us secure, keeps our businesses running. What is your favorite under-acknowledged #opensource project that many rely on and doesn't get enough attention? Or your favorite contributor who always seems to be plugging along making sure those projects are healthy?
@mglaman I continue to be inspired by your awesome. :)
I had a great time merging work and fun for this week's @reality2cast. My very knowledgeable teammate @eze_lanza lent his extensive #AI expertise and filled in so much we would have missed otherwise. I think we did this conversation about #ChatGPT justice. 🤩 Thanks, Eze!

I direct this to my many TWiT/TWiG friends: Now's the time of hear to buy yourself -- or buy a friend -- membership in Club Twit. @leo and the team work hard to bring us joy every week. Advertising ain't what it used to be. Just as Mastodon frees us from the dominance of the ad-supported, attention-based market of old social media, so do we have the chance to support more of @TWiT ourselves. Here's @ant_pruitt: https://twitter.com/ant_pruitt/status/1605264854289358871
OpenAI releases Point-E, an AI that generates 3D models | TechCrunch - https://techcrunch.com/2022/12/20/openai-releases-point-e-an-ai-that-generates-3d-models/
The next breakthrough to take the AI world by storm might be 3D model generators. This week, OpenAI open sourced Point-E, a machine learning system that creates a 3D object given a text prompt. According to a paper published alongside the code base, Point-E can produce 3D models in one to two minutes on a single Nvidia V100 GPU.
New episode is out! @dsearls and @katherined talk to @eze_lanza and Tony Mongkolsmai about #ChatGPT, generative #AI, and #opensource software.

This is absolutely insane. A mom was prevented from taking her daughter to a Christmas show at Radio City Music Hall because she works for a law firm litigating against the venue's parent company. They spotted her with facial recognition technology according to this report: https://www.nbcnewyork.com/investigations/face-recognition-tech-gets-girl-scout-mom-booted-from-rockettes-show-due-to-her-employer/4004677/
@Shredderfeeder well that’s interesting, isn’t it?
@Shredderfeeder yep.
@neclimdul Regardless, I’m turning off the cross posts, so I guess I’m just there to retweet our podcast until the whole thing collapses.
@neclimdul I can still see my account in a browser, but all my cross posts after nov 28 are gone.
