This must form the basis of the world being built right now.
brumbus@brumbus.bsky.social · 2d agothinking about instituting this simple policy at work
brumbus@brumbus.bsky.social · 2d agoDystopia: I'm 83. My happy place is reliving old Slack conversations from 50 yrs ago with LLMs set up to reply like the people I used to work with. My agent found me sighing over an old data export 15 yrs back and filed it under 'when the dementia hits' I'm very little trouble. My family are happy.
We beat the leader in harness bench. No big deal. its a big fucking deal lmao.
Doll@dollspace.gay · 2d agoThis is the Peritus harness.
And when I say this, for the no-one who is listening, I mean go there and buy meat from the local butcher, not ‘all-expenses-paid-safari’. It’ll take you from ‘Toto: Africa’ tourism to ‘Pulp: Common People’ tourism. That’s the best I can do, sorry.
J-P Treen@jptreen.com · 2d agoIt really was, sorry. I heard Camus and I spiralled! The world is wide, there are many places left to run off to. For anyone casting about, I suggest Meru in Kenya.
How about the police acting if these guys return? I’d settle for that.
I do appreciate that this stuff exists now, but there’s a hole in the toy shop where Sylvanian Families woodwork shops and schleich black unicorns might be. (Speaking as the only boy in my class ~35 years ago who liked Care Bears instead of whatever boys were supposed to like, I forget)
Bring it the fuck back. We need to stop letting fucking troglodytes who have literally 0 understanding of what they mean when they say "AI" have control over tech.
Rick Brewster@rickbrew.bsky.social · 6d agoAlright everyone, message received. I was not expecting this response, I honestly had no idea before I made the post Like I said, the code is experimental. A proof of concept showing that PDN-on-WINE is possible. It's not finished. I can literally just delete it. It won't be part of the next build.
My ‘90’s/00’s world was split between ‘call me when you get home!’ people and ‘see you soon!’ people. The first group never understood why people (including me) would worry them so much by not calling as it was a ‘common courtesy’. I wonder if that was ever polled at the time?
Tim Bale@timbale.bsky.social · 6d agoCan this really be true? "67 per cent of parents in the UK track the location of their university-age children, according to a survey by Unite Students." (Source: inews.co.uk/inews-lifest...)
In the age of agents, Linux distros are the new Domain Specific Languages?
Cameron@cameron.stream · last wk.It comes for all of us, some time or another
OK, get it together guys. Speaking as a Spurs fan, this is at least 2 managers too early to be talking about relegation.
We used to have this argument in 3D printers. Someone would show up and say you can't build a machine with more accuracy and durability than the one that printed it. I'm sorry, I didn't realize we invented computers before the abacus. Fancy beads can't be numbers ffs. Stupid of me. I am so dumb.
conputer dipshit@davidcrespo.bsky.social · 2w agoI have often said people are essentially arguing that engineering is impossible when they say there’s no way to build a reliable system out of unreliable parts. it‘s the most ordinary thing in the world
"We do these things not because they are easy, but because we thought they were going to be easy"
My grandmother found people saying 'UK' weird, her introduction to it was as a young army officer's wife based abroad in the '50's. She'd never heard it before and she told me (around maybe 2005?) that people had only really started using it in the '70's. (Google Books thinks she was ~8 years late)
Stephen Bush@stephenkb.bsky.social · 2w agoThink the discourse on “lanyardian” is missing the far crazier part of this, which is that it’s a conversation between two people who now believe that saying “UK” is a weird, Starmer-like affectation. Margaret Thatcher used it, because it is literally the name of our country!
Genuinely can't believe we're supposed to have a debate about whether DEI has reduced the quality of academic output whilst you have some of the critics writing entire papers on why women evolved to use a Dyson?
AAngelina Strubbe@angelinastrubbe.bsky.social · 2w ago
Don't stop at the introduction, read the conclusions at least
It's the small things. NVIDIA like to focus on hardware that makes the cost of electricity a rounding error in the total cost of ownership, making life much simpler for everyone with $100k in change hiding in their sofa. (I roughly costed £7.5k over three years to run this at 50% capacity)
Erica Windisch@ewindisch.ontological.observer · 2w agoI want 4x of these so bad. But instead, I'll probably end up with 10x RTX PRO / Instinct PCIe cards running Qwen 27B instead. It's a whole lot more affordable.
🎶 “You gotta ac-celerate the easy bits, ig-nore all of the bigger things, latch yourself up to a bandwagon, and don’t ever touch the bottom line.” 🎶
That is just standard software engineering. AI just automated the delusions so you can scale them much faster.
You could fill purpose built stadiums for this stuff.
Sung Kim@sungkim.bsky.social · 3w agoMaybe humanoid robots need the equivalent of a sports car’s 0 to 100 to 0 benchmark: accelerate, reach peak speed, and come to a controlled stop.
I don't understand why someone would turn emergency phone alerts off because they got an alert they where underwhelmed by.
They laughed and said 'It's a good model, sir!' ...
geesawra@geesawra.industries · 4w agoif it's not benchmaxxed, impressive!
Fully automated agentic product development. ‘Here’s where I want to be honest, while it is true that all 100 keys can be reached easily, I didn’t fully factor in…’ Jokes on us though because I bet it sells.
Eris@isolyth.dev · 4w agoKeychron bro what the fuck is this??
I'm buying a house. I was looking at the pictures of the garden this afternoon and wondered if one of the trees had to come down whether it might give some useful lumber. Pdq I had a cut plan, seasoning instructions, and Claude had sourced a local sawyer with the correct type of collapsable mill.
Ryan Moulton@moultano.bsky.social · 4w agoWhen I'm writing now, the capabilities of models make me feel like I'm lazy if I don't chase any particular curiosity to the ends of the earth.
Ooh, I’ve have my mind completely changed on this. The data says we’re more likely to be abusive under our own names. (a.k.a. vulnerable groups being unable to hide draws the worst people out from the gutters).
J-P Treen@jptreen.com · last yr.When I'm God-Emperor of Earth, I'm nationalising (globalising?) the entire information space and forcing everyone to verify their identities at all times when posting content. I'm not sure I'm joking.
Eventually everything in distribution will just be recognized and done without much needing to ask, and then recognizing the edge of the distribution and how to push past that and ask for the things that don't even have a recognizable problem signature will be valuable.
Claude today: 'BM1 was hand-finished in LibreOffice, so its spacing has small artisanal quirks' In the age of AI, an office document which a human has ever typed into is referred to as having 'artisanal quirks'.
tbh we should make a test suite that simulates low end devices you can drop into your CI to notice when you've accidentally nuked 3rd world users.
Ash@ashanti.pds.witchcraft.systems · 4w agoit's a couple of years old, but this write-up by dan luu is still something i feel like every web developer should go through to understand how difficult stuff they make is to load and use for people
