Not a fan of this capitalism. I am a fan of biocosmism, anarchism, distributed and robust systems, and economics when decoupled from capitalists and oligarchy.

ML models *must* be fully open sourced, including the training data! We deserve the right to audit.

Copyparty is such a godsend of a piece of software. It fits into a really good space of "extremely easy to set up" and "extremely useful feature set" without being "overpolished" or "sacrificing functionality for the sake of an ideal user who thinks a button on a website is offputting."

@james Well I mean just looking over the new article... This claim TPUs are only useful for AI is pretty bonkers.

Oh reading that article, Zitron also says that GPUs and TPUs are only useful for AI and that's crazy talk. They're the backbone of scientific computing and likely to increasingly displace aspects of the classic CPU architecture over time.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised but I'm kinda amazed Ed Zitron isn't more contrite/embarrassed about how wrong some of his claims and predictions have been.

@chris__martin But preventative measures for this are incredibly inexpensive, folks are just concitioned to believe preventative care is more invasive/expensive.

Feels to me like it's hard to conclude travel is the problem under these conditions.

(this is a not a comment on the identity model tho, just the mechanics of self-hosting a PDS and how that solves the portability problems)

Having taken a lot of time to think about it, I think that the Bluesky model for PDS's is objectively superior as a way to structure and empower users directly. I think in this *specific* dimension, the Fediverse would do well to adopt that standard and move, and I doubt it'd even be difficult to do.

@bkim I use them in the world of python where _I_ hallucinate methods all the time because the crazy pandas API is so hard to predict. They hallucinate less often than I do, at least :)

I understand a lot of the anxieties and legal concerns that LLMs bring up, but I'm still baffled by folks who say they're useless. As documentation searching tools, they're simply unprecedented.

When a sociologist turns text from interviews into data for analysis, that's coding.

When a theater producer comes up with the list of acts that will be performed in an evening, that's programming.

When somebody writes a web application, that's both coding and programming.

love the pettiness of macos showing windows computers on the lan as old-ass crt monitors displaying a blue screen of death. need more of that energy in my linux

a macos "finder" window displaying the "network" resource, within which one computer on the lan is selected. as it is currently running windows, the icon displayed is an old heavy beige crt screen showing a typical blue screen of death. zoomed in, you can even make out the text, "windows. a fatal exception 0E has occurred... etc., etc., press any key to continue _"

We are now at the cursed backbiting part of the discourse where digital artists post renders and people accuse them of posting AI because it "doesn't look real."

No shit, it's a render. That's a famous blender marketplace shoe model.

@adrienne I'm amazed every few years or so you show up in my eyeline specifically because you call me a bro after my repeated insistence I'm trying not to use male language when referring to me.

I dunno how you keep doing this but it's bonkers you also did it on BlueSky, and I just want you to know its never been okay and I've never liked it.
