my pds was acting up for the last week or two because i didn't persist the cursor from the old pds. all fixed now :)

trying to install noctalia-shell and niri on Ubuntu today and it required both manual building and an entire system upgrade. not sure it's possible to change distro once you've been with NixOS 💔

i really hate to say it but OpenClaw and NixOS are a really good fit. "ssh into my server and make it serve X at this endpoint" just works, and i can `jj undo` if it does something catastrophic

What if Paper Mario 64 was remade? Here's what I think it could be! Captaine Chocon created this model for their own project, and I asked to try to import it into TTYDS and this was the result! (No collision cause this is was just for fun!) #PaperMario

the quotes and replies are full of people saying "this is the *good* AI, not the bad AI". but this distinction doesn't work for the same reason you can't claim there are only two genders. because most stuff doesn't fit cleanly into any one category, and it misses other categories' entire existence.

"Figure I. A cartoon set theoretic view on various terms (see Table I) used when discussing the superset AI (black outline, batched background): LLMs are in orange; ANNs are in magenta; generative models are in blue; and finally, chatbots are in green. Where tbese intersect, the colours reflect that, e.g. generative adversarial network (GAN) and Boltzmann machine (BM) models are in the purple subset because tbey are both generative and ANNs. In the case of proprietary closed source models, eg. OpenAl's ChatGPT and Apple's Siri, we cannot verify their implementation and so academics can only make educated guesses (cf.
Dingemanse 2025). Undefined terms used above: BERT (Devlin et al. 2019); AlexNet (Krizheusky et al.
2017); A.L.I.C.E. (Wallace 2009); ELIZA (Weizenbaum 1966); Jabberwacky (Twist 2003); Linear discriminant analysis (LDA); quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA)."
