I think that's the solution you're looking for

you're welcome
it's a murky business, but I think it provides a good impetus to everyone atm to reevaluate their needs when it comes to computing
I think making decentralized work easier is a very productive direction to invest one's time in

I'm sorry I can't quite follow what you wanted to express.
I did indeed encounter LLM use on the radicle network.
But at a quick glance the main protocol doesn't contain a CLAUDE.md file.
To check for yourself:
https://radicle.network/nodes/seed.radicle.dev/rad:z3gqcJUoA1n9HaHKufZs5FCSGazv5
Neither do the other repos by radicle.
Apart from the radicle-explorer web browser interface.
https://radicle.network/nodes/seed.radicle.dev/rad:z4V1sjrXqjvFdnCUbxPFqd5p4DtH5/tree/CLAUDE.md
The relevant thread on the forum:
https://radicle.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/369278-Explorer/topic/.E2.9C.94.2072cfac7.3A.20Add.20CLAUDE.2Emd/with/580304656
Personally because I abhor the incompetence surrounding decisions in computing at the moment, I'm very critical of the use of LLMs.
That is why I'm working to decentralize and thus future-proof my projects.
I have seen no alternative code forge other than radicle serving this kind of truly distributed and asynchronous collaboration.
I see it as revolutionary and should it become necessary the tech will be forked.
So far I'm happy to say that the team and community convinced me of their competency.
Did I understand your critique correctly?

side note:
I work under the assumption that technology cannot be taken back easily
once the cat's out of the bag, that's it
imo llms fundamentally suck by being spammy
framing them tight can alleviate some issues and rigorous benchmarks can be used to objectively measure results
this is what's happening at community-computer:
https://radicle.network/nodes/iris.radicle.xyz/rad%3Az4Wk8hdpwG4HtoCxr1uuoQDpnfr25
even if all the datacenters experienced rapid unscheduled disassembly this would be a method that generated traceable computing experiments
and even failed experiments - if recorded methodically - always render valuable data

Are you aware of the rhetoric by POTUS and his cronies?
Threatening your civilization and its people?
Are you aware of your history and livelihood being destroyed?
The US regime and the occupation in Palestine are as much enemy of the Iranian people as they are of the regime.
How are you so sure of their motivations and that their actions will benefit you or the people of West Asia?
It seems to me from my vantage that their campaign so far has caused a massive nationalist consolidation in Iran while bringing destruction to the infrastructure, pollution to the ecosphere and destitution to the people.
All undeniably detrimental to an imminent democratic revolution in Iran imo.
These are not the actions of internationalist allies of a nation in upheaval.
These are the actions of genocidal barbarians scheming and killing to line their pockets and spin networks of blackmail to satisfy their perverse desires - imperialists for short.
I realize this seems condescending, but for me this is like arguing with a Pole that defends the Blitzkrieg while he's living through it.
I'm fortunate that I have no bombs dropping on me and I truly wish this fate on none.
To wish it on one's own neighbours to me is lunacy.
And this is apart from the crimes of those you align yourself with all around the world.

I think you misunderstood nini's point.
The invasion of Iran by Israel and the US is not for the benefit of the Iranian people. Not for your benefit or your liberation.
Now don't misunderstand me.
I wish you well and extend my hope for your freedom and prosperity.
This is why I engage with you in this conversation.
Do record all crimes you witness to fight for transformative justice tomorrow.
But you're mistaken in seeking salvation from those perpetrating genocide.

Thank you for your consideration on this matter.
I'm taking issue with you or your book specifically and understand the economic reality.
My disappointment stems from a seemingly good recommendation turning out not as useful as expected.
So my gripe is not with you or your work, though I remain on the position, that setting any price-point is not FLOSS.

I hope that it's replicated as I experience it atm.
Specifically moving the discourse into the analogue and to the thus far disaffected.
The online discourse is of course still ongoing but political will is necessary to establish justice; and most importantly prevent such crimes to the best of our abilities in the future.
To build political will a lot of kitchen talks are necessary.

I will give you an opportunity to expain yourself for denying the consequences of the ongoing genocide in Palestina.
Do you see the killing and erasure of Palestinians as justified because of the Intifada?
At least this is how I must interpret your words.
On another note:
Do you really desire the life of people in the US?
Is there nothing troubling you in regards to the conditions there?
Is that the freedom you seek?
For your information: statements like those you just made I find extremely reprehensible and respond to by blocking.
I have no patience for the denial of genocide.
For this reason I'm not inclined to continue this conversation, but I will wait for your response as a sign of good will.

You could've a) specified the title and b) clarified the conditions, in this case the price.
Furthermore you could've answered less confrontationally.

Sure let's start this over on the terms you chose.
I appreciated your suggestion to a pressing problem I'm researching and went looking for what you meant.
I had to because you couldn't be bothered to specify.
Moreover I didn't expect to find a price attached to your recommendation and expressed my disappointment to you specifically and the thread in general.
I addressed you because it was your recommendation and you didn't bother to inform us neither of the title or the price.
I'm sure I could find it somewhere, but I agree there are ethical implications, that may or may not be necessary.
Personally I want to see other forms of organisation, especially in the opes-source sphere, than pay-walls. Mainly for reasons of accessibility.
What I do to progress our global society and to save our ecosphere is none of your business.
You're welcome to speculate based on my public posts.
You're also welcome to reflect on your personal netiquette.
I've tried my darndest to remain civil.

I also struggle in keeping hope confronted with the general silence. People around me are just too comfortable to want to know the truth. Actually they do, they're decent people (measured in the local context) and know some of the more immediate hypocrisy, but they cling to their perceived stability as if for dear life. I'm trying to approach them were they are without compromising myself to ultimately get them to a deeper understanding of the urgency. With only marginal success and moderate exhaustion. Bit disheartening, but the sauce lies in persistence and preparation imo.

Thank you for the pointer.
I did find a couple articles on the Minab attack there.
But not the image. At least not on the part of the website in English.
The reverse image search results also didn't link to Tasnim News.
Is it possible that the image was uploaded with an article in another language?
To reiterate: I stand with you against war crimes.
Yet I think using synthetic media as if they were real is extremely dangerous.
That is why I'm trying to verify the source of the image.
