"Mystery is not the absence of meaning, but the presence of more meaning than we can comprehend." - P. Yancey
Itβs now boring being a ManU rival..gone are the days when hating on ManU brings some excitement..need to find a new club to hate on.

$40,000 worth of GPUs
π§π΅πΆπ πΆπ π π’π₯ππ‘π: the largest African language model ever trained from scratch, at 1.5 billion parameters. Not a fine tune, this was trained from the ground up for Africa. π
Trained on 12 African languages, it beats models from Google, Meta, Alibaba and HuggingFace on African language modelling and translation while being up to 8x smaller.
π π’π₯ππ‘π doesn't belong to us. The weights are open and free to use commercially, so researchers can build on a base that doesn't treat African languages as an afterthought.
Weights in the comments.
Thanks to @UNDP, @AIHub4SD and CINECA for the GPUs and the support. None of this happens without them.

I have owned the Vhavenda domain for sometime without knowing what to do with it.
I finally decided over the weekend to use it to tell the history of the Venda people.
If you have any material or corrections I should make, please reach out

She says Elaine hit the jackpot with Grandma. β€οΈ
Jackpot is chance. I got an answered prayer.
Her mother. My wife.
The woman who gave me the next greatest title Iβll ever carry (after Husband): Dad.
God has been outrageously good to me. π€

I have seen multiple reports of @Makro_SA being full of scams.
Fortunately I have solved that problem with a plugin which scans the site and flags suspicious products.
E.g. There's a headboard listed with 1.5 meters depth. That's what I call a thick headboard.
Please contact me and we can see how to get this to the masses or used internally to flag listings before they see day light @Makro_SA

New Partnership Announcement!
On #WorldHumanitarianDay, Shades of Us and Collective Humanity Development Network (COHUMAN) are excited to announce that we are partnering to support internally displaced persons, particularly women and girls in IDP communities.
#NewPartnership
Not sure what changed...but I now see my tribe more. My TL now looks and feel sanitized. Thank you @X. Don't change these current settings.
The talent and depth in this French squad is just ridiculous. Wow!! CRAZY!

Earth Day shouldnβt just be a celebrationβit should be a checkpoint.
Are we conserving ecosystems with communities or around them?
Are we building awareness or real change?
Conservation works best when people are part of the solution.
