When you get sick from Taco Bell, it’s intentional.
Sarah Taber@sarahtaber.bsky.social · 3w agoA quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!
Anyone interested in a live stream setting up local, multi-node LLM serving infrastructure?
I would love help with this code: codepen.io/editor/samwh.... On Safari, a frame seems to get skipped when the dot arrives at A and turns back to B. This doesn't happen in Chrome or Firefox. I cannot for the life of my figure it out, and it's making an animation I'm making feel wrong in Safari.
I'm usually good about bookmarking projects I want to try but there's a new Linux in the browser project (probably WASM based) that I can't find It wasn't webvm or github.com/ziggy42/epsi... but I'm at a loss finding the project I saw (which I'm pretty sure I found on bluesky) Anyone remember?

Someone saw my shirt and asked what “Tacos Linux” is and I think we might need to rebrand
People who don’t know “LLM” and only know “AI” as an umbrella term for a lot of things including job loss, corruption, theft, water scarcity, environmental destruction, etc. are absolutely anti-AI
Between that and the friendliness with DHH I’ve made the hard decision to stop supporting, promoting, and building with Laravel. 😢 On the flip side there’s @gleam.run - excited to build something for ArisaMakes.com with it 🔥

Wait...being "offline" is a thing?? Yes, kids...back in the day, being "offline" wasn't an option. It was the default. Fast-forward to today, and we have flipped the tables. Mark your calendar for August's guest, @justingarrison.com. His episode drops on Aug 11th.
anyway, i’m at the point where people starting new substacks/remaining on substack really bums me out but can’t spend a ton of energy getting mad about it. bigger fish to fry and all. it just confuses me how so many continue to ignore the evidence of how much they suck.
I saw yesterday that some right-wing outlets were running stories about me, which I’m used to. But this time I’m going to say something about it, because these were framed to imply that I was aligned with their own transphobia. ⬇️

It’s more of a feature request but it was one of the first things I did when I found the right team and ticket queue. In the AWS console, top right drop down it shows your account number and region. Until 2021 (when my request was implemented) there was no copy button to copy your account number
The google experience is now a game show where you if choose a the wrong suggestion, it drains your bank account. I guess that is what the "I'm feeling lucky " gambling reference meant

As expected, the "escape" of the OpenAI agent was due to poor security practices by OpenAI not by some "super agent" www.wired.com/story/openai... It's like saying, "The fire exhibited super intelligence because it found a way around our one fireproof panel and then spread to the wood structure"
OpenAI’s Hacking Debacle Comes Down to Human Error
If the generative AI giant had followed well-known security best practices, it’s likely that its AI agent would never have escaped to the open internet and hacked multiple companies.
