- Super

Had a nice discussion with the author of #CIANNA (Convolutional Interactive Artificial Neural Networks by/for Astrophysicists) about packaging quirks

@jguillaumes@mastodont.cat which software stack do you use?
I try to collect as much FOSS available somewhere as possible during the #guixastroupdate monthly refresh cycle, it would be great to attract more astro enthusiasts to #reproducibleresearch topic :-)
Looking for supporters for a fresh GCD @guix@hachyderm.io

@guix@hachyderm.io let's review packages acceptance based on their responsibility in light of GCD006

@andrewnez thanks for keeping the dependency tree short. I made a first estimation to bring it to #Guix, some side question - why is it so common in Go to re-invent libraries instead of using stdlib or something with a wider use case?
Replying to
@kaneel@mas.to @tante@tldr.nettime.org I might say people choose whatever they are given, most of the time
When the alternative is dim and not backed by the government it's very hard to "choose" - it builds infrastructure not citizens anymore...
Compare dependency on private cars - I've been in Belgium, France and Netherlands then to the UK, which has the worst "choice" to ditch cars - and it looks like it's impossible to live without it at all.
The AI bulshit is already beyond the computer science and technology
