I like to code Python by night, which is what happens when there's not enough time during the day. #nobot #nobots #noai #noindex #nosearch #noarchive 🌉 bridged from ⁂ https://hachyderm.io/@pythonbynight, follow @ap.brid.gy to interact
I decided to dip my toes (pun) into the data center water usage topic. It's not without some reservation, as a lot of these takes tend to be "hot hot hot". https://pythonbynight.com/blog/hot-hot-hot 1/x
Hot hot hot, or cold?
"Restoring balance will not be achieved through technical innovation alone." And other thoughts on data center water usage.

I used to do that to try and personalize Myspace (or something), or later when I tried to create a website, mostly by copy/pasting.

Like with entryism & related sabotage, it's easy for experts to spot. I explained how at the top. Is it intentional? You can decide: > who plows on regardless, who does not listen to feedback, who materially and not just ideologically aligns with the AI companies […]

There are more openly anti AI women than men, so if you see manels (panels of all men) or events where there are very few or no women involved on the academic speaking side (not in the organisation/teaching), it's safe to conclude that there is something very strange afoot to say the least […]

My 8-yr old kiddo: I took out the trash. Can you give me a dollar? Me: I'll have to put it on your tab. Kiddo: What does that mean? Me: It means I owe you a dollar. Kiddo: Too bad I don't have a phone so you could Venmo me. 🤔

I’m somewhat embarrassed to finally announce svcs 26.1.0 – my solution to #Python service location and dependency injection. It’s been a minute, and the changelog is chuck-full, but the main features are autowiring, which looked like a simple add-on that grew to a four-digit monster diff, and […]

In case you missed it, here's Count Binface's appearance on the BBC this morning.

The thing about training an #LLM on human culture and then renting that culture back isn't that it's "Intellectual Property Theft." There's nothing wrong with sharing. There is something wrong with framing LLMs as piracy. That's a completely different concept. When a powerful group of people […]
