A month ago, when I started working on my new novel, to avoid the many revisions forced on my first one by a poorly defined structure, I decided to follow a well-known one, like the 3-Act Structure or the Hero's Journey. I watched many videos to refresh my knowledge, then I looked for a tool that could help me. There are many powerful apps out there, but they are generally too complicated and offer a steep learning curve. So, I ended up building it myself: Structurer. It's open-source (github.com/sullof/structu…), runs entirely in the browser, and stores everything in local storage. So, no server, accounts, database, or cookies; your work stays on your machine. I also added demos so you can quickly explore the app (The Matrix Trilogy, Jurassic Park, etc.). Since not everyone knows how to install and run a Node.js app locally, I also deployed it at structurer.sullo.co. I have built it for stories, but it can definitely be adapted to write anything because you can set your own custom structures. If you have even five or ten minutes to click through one, I'd genuinely love any reaction — what's confusing, what's useful, what you'd change.

Look at this, Italian taxpayers, this is where your money is being sent to ‘protect democratic Ukraine’ Kiev’s drones that hit the Russian college, parts of which were made in Italy.

Can anyone explain to me why Israel and only Israel is able to order people from another country to evacuate their home? Anyone? Israel has issued an evacuation order for Tyre, Lebanon, displacing 200,000 more people. Tyre is an ancient Phoenician city with Roman ruins and a hippodrome.

Not a single stone remains standing, nor a tree, nor a human being—Israel has completely annihilated my town, Beit Hanoun.

@antirez @BobbyCh03 The word "common" sounds like an overstatement when you test it on a M5 128Gb 😀

@BobbyCh03 Nope single instance so far. I'll look at 2 instances memory scaling (4 bit quants) or speed scaling (parallelized execution) later, the short term goal of the project is to work well in common single machine setups.

If the correctness tests will pass, expect a sensibly faster DS4 inference speed for DGX Spark, and especially a lot flatter prefill as context increases. Soon in the repo if everything goes as expected.

@Google @Yahoo @Microsoft It is time to improve your customer service. Sometimes users receive legitimate calls from you, but there is no way to know whether the caller is actually who they claim to be. You could easily solve this by showing a PIN in the user’s account that the caller would have to provide as proof of identity. Of course, a data leak would be a disaster, but such an improvement could prevent many of the scams out there.

@liana_1_1 They could have helped her and everything’d be fine.

It’s crazy how one random person can negatively impact so many other people’s lives

One of the most terrifying images in history: a transformation from life to death. Gaza in 2023 and 2026!

Israel’s efforts to influence the vote for the Eurovision Song Contest were broader and started years earlier than previously known, a New York Times investigation found. Here is the inside story of the controversy that almost broke Eurovision. nyti.ms/42ZR43z

@antirez Grazie a te per averlo condiviso.

@sullof Sono molto contento che ti sia piaciuto, grazie della lettura.

My second short story release in English is ready: Tales of Illustrious Computer Scientists: Iola Varga, nun and computer scientist. invece.org/iola.html

@antirez Letto. Molto bello. Ci sono un po' di refusi e qualcosa che si potrebbe migliorare (ma veramente poca cosa). A parte queste minuzie, il racconto è molto bello. Ben scritto e avvincente. Con un gran finale. Bravo!

@antirez No problem at all. Reading...

@antirez @JackNowDoIt I suspected that :D

@sullof @JackNowDoIt It is a miracle it can run on 128GB macs...

Soon in DS4: 1. CUDA support (14 t/s, 350 t/s prefill on DGX Spark), 2. Single direction steering support. 3. Huge refactoring to support Metal / CUDA / CPU in a more sensible way.

@antirez @JackNowDoIt I wonder if my Macbook Air M3 24Gb have any chance to run it...

@JackNowDoIt Sorry no support for hardware I don't own directly.

Grande @antirez

@mehdirhasan It is not the government. These are created by smart Iranians. Stop thinking like a colonialist all the time.

One day we will figure out how the Iranian theocratic government became so good at trolling the US, and that too using US-style pop culture memes and lines.

This is a group photograph of journalists in Lebanon: the israelis have killed every single one of them: every. single. one. says @sahouraxo

@francescominerv @LaStampa Il sistema bancario europeo funziona sullo Swift. Non si può fare. Per questo gli USA fanno quello che gli pare.

@LaStampa Sanchez sa che le sanzioni sono USA, non europee. Perché non da’ lui disposizione alle banche spagnole di aprire un conto ai perseguitati? Il suo e’ un bel gesto. Si chiama politica.

Il premier spagnolo Pedro Sánchez ha chiesto alla Commissione europea di attivare lo statuto di blocco, lo scudo giuridico europeo, per proteggere Francesca Albanese e i giudici della Corte penale internazionale dalle sanzioni adottate dall’amministrazione americana nei loro confronti per le critiche a Israele. Le misure restrittive, ha scritto il premier spagnolo in una lettera a Ursula von der Leyen, «creano un precedente molto preoccupante che compromette il funzionamento indipendente delle istituzioni essenziali per la giustizia internazionale».
