there's a sense in which digital objects are real, and we're seeing them imperfectly. this is important to me and it's part of why i don't like using things like VHS filters or faking glitchiness. because they're not part of the process. there are already real glitches. there's already a viewglass.
For fun I tried giving Deepseek v4 Flash and Qwen 3.8 27B the same refactor task. Deepseek's changes were a bit more minimal and elegant in places, but Qwen did not do badly at all. The broad strokes were similar.
everyone in tech is engaged in a zero-sum competition about who can have the most measured and sober-minded take about the implications of ai. it’s like a bunch of astronauts trying to out-calm each other after discovering the catastrophic and unrecoverable oxygen leak
I live under a rock and did not know who Hank Green was before this whole debacle
If you had asked me about putting an entire LLM into silicon at the beginning of all of this I would've called it out as wasteful. But now seeing the hardware crunch that all of this has created maybe it's a wash. Providers are already continuously upgrading all of their hardware regardless.
google needs to regroup around gemma models, assuming they didn't fuck up that team already too. related, look up the history of the original x86 architecture at intel.
In terms of “gimmicky programming conference stuff”, the Java Ring might be the coolest. You’d get your ring, write down your coffee preferences, and then use it to authenticate for free “Java” at JavaOne 1998.
a lot of orgs are in a constant race between current models piling up tech debt and the next generation models getting released that are capable of powering through the debt accrued from the last gen
Dare Obasanjo@carnage4life.bsky.social · last mo.The fundamental challenge of software development is becoming how do you build reliable software using AI agents that are frequently wrong and often don’t follow instructions while your engineering team increasingly doesn’t understand the codebase because they didn’t write the code?
One day our awe of speaking machines will seem as quaint as an audience gasping at the screen-bound train barreling toward them
Fuck off. If anything is "millennial", it's those cool transparent colors our iMacs, Gameboys, and Tamagotchis came in. No fucking millennial likes the house flipper grey. Call it a millennial paint job when I can see through the exterior of a car because it's Glacier Purple like my GBA.
Jack Saint@lackingsaint.bsky.social · last mo.No fuck off we're not calling this "Millennial grey" this shit was dictated completely by boomer retiree house flippers we absolutely had NO say in this
![Millennial grey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A kitchen with beige grey floors, drab walls, brushed steel appliances, and grey granite countertops.
Grey floors and furnishings are said to appeal to Millennial tastes.
Millennial grey refers to a desaturated colour scheme that is said to appeal to the interior design sensibilities of the Millennial Generation in the early 21st century.[1] Cultural historian Kassia St. Clair attributed its widespread adoption to a desire among Millennials for "a flexible, sensible choice that will last years, hide any stains, and can be adapted to different schemes."[1] Some have diagnosed Millennial grey as a reaction to the warm hues of the late 20th century.[2]
Millennial grey is polarising, particularly when used with imitation-wood-texture sheet vinyl flooring, which many describe as depressing, soulless, or corporate.[3][4] Although attributed to Millennials, the grey colour scheme is often chosen by house flippers, vacation rental owners, or other people who do not actually live in the greyed properties.[3] Thus, the occupant of the property—Millennial or not—has little say in its colour scheme, particularly when deployed for fixtures such as flooring.[4] The greying may have been driven, in part, by a desire to prepare properties for sale in a manner thought to be least offensive to the average buyer.[5] Given the housing crises gripping many countries in the early to mid-21st century, buyers and renters may feel they have no choice but to accept a property decked in Millennial grey.[4]
To the extent that Millennial grey is said to be enjoyed by Millennials, it is also said to be loathed by Generation Z.[1][2]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:atdbmignbrjbjgj2ba4axnwl/bafkreidgcz72oqo4dwsqlv2ovhewwekbfxdo7ydluyrffhlijqkg2546gy)
This whole thing of fable access being extended every week or two is a joke. You can't plan any serious work around availability so precarious.
