Is there a place or hashtag where mastodon / fediverse admins, hosters, hackers, and/or devs hang out?

#mastodon #fediverse #hosting

Interested in the Fediverse sessions and demos of FediForum, but living on a tight budget?

We have tickets as low as $1.99. Don't be shy.

FediForum: moving the Open Social Web forward

FediForum
@Are0h I’ve been working on a fediverse project (cheap, custom domain, mastodon-compatible hosting). I’d like to get early feedback crom folks. Do you have advice for how I can tap into the community to do this? Hashtags, servers, etc.?
@Feditext - can I get in the testflight group? I've been working on hosting with gotosocial, and want to test out my setup

In their #JEB100 Review, Ijspeert & Daley discuss how comparative animal studies and neuromechanical modeling have revealed diversity in the integration of feedback and feedforward control, related to body size, mechanical stability, time to locomotor maturity and movement speed

Integration of feedforward and feedback control in the neuromechanics of vertebrate locomotion: a review of experimental, simulation and robotic studies

Summary: Comparative animal studies and neuromechanical modeling have revealed diversity in the integration of feedback and feedforward control, related to body size, mechanical stability, time to locomotor maturity and movement speed.

Here's a really interesting (long) paper on what a theory of computing based on arbitrary physical substrates might look like: http://arxiv.org/abs/2307.15408

"Toward a formal theory for computing machines made out of whatever physics offers: extended version"

Toward a formal theory for computing machines made out of whatever physics offers: extended version

Approaching limitations of digital computing technologies have spurred research in neuromorphic and other unconventional approaches to computing. Here we argue that if we want to systematically engineer computing systems that are based on unconventional physical effects, we need guidance from a formal theory that is different from the symbolic-algorithmic theory of today's computer science textbooks. We propose a general strategy for developing such a theory, and within that general view, a specific approach that we call "fluent computing". In contrast to Turing, who modeled computing processes from a top-down perspective as symbolic reasoning, we adopt the scientific paradigm of physics and model physical computing systems bottom-up by formalizing what can ultimately be measured in any physical substrate. This leads to an understanding of computing as the structuring of processes, while classical models of computing systems describe the processing of structures.

@JamesBaker @admin - yours is one of the smaller mastodon instances that I've been able to find. I'm trying to understand how Mastodon scales. Would you mind sharing what server infrastructure you're using to run your instance?
