Anyone else out there using with Mimir and Alloy and having a hard time with overly chatty logs and metrics not being correctly stored? I have no idea what's happening.

I am getting crazy tired of every fucking browser trying to get me to use other browsers. Use Firefox with Bing? Try Edge! Use Edge with YouTube? Try Chrome! Leave me alone!

You know that is growing in popularity when you do generic searches about type structures and the top results are all articles and Reddit posts about Rust. 2023 really feels like the year that Rust grew up.

Has anyone talked about the rise of videos being recommend by from extremely small channels with sometimes single-digit view counts, but with obviously generated thumbnails? I think that this shows that YouTube's recommendation algorithm was using some sort of AI Image analysis to determine what to recommend. It was not simply people clicking. It was YouTube CHOOSING.

First Diablo and Zelda, now Phantom Liberty and Starfield. I will be smelling of taco meat by October.

Steve Huffman’s comments to Reddit employees yesterday seem likely to exacerbate the furor the company now finds itself caught in platformer.news/p/reddit-doubl

Then again, of course, Huffman may be right. Statistically, the furor over Reddit’s API changes will pass, and power users will resign themselves to the imperfect convenience of having all their favorite niche communities in a single place. 

But for now, at least, anger seems to be building. And given the rapid fragmentation of online social networking, what happens next seems increasingly hard to predict. It’s true that most social media controversies eventually blow over. Other times, though, they blow up.

I love how Bing tried to get me to use their fucking AI chat with every search. Fine. Let me do it in Firefox. No? Only Edge? Well fuck off, then.

Six years ago today, I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, Hodgkin’s lymphoma. After six months of chemotherapy & a month of radiation treatments, here I still am.

The Affordable Care Act paid for the treatments that saved my life. But Republicans are still attacking it.

Myself in 2017 while going through treatment, versus myself, healthy, in 2022

@DarkestKale Wow. I've had it happen to me five or six times. I've only become aware of it because I've been digging through libraries at the same time as asking ChatGPT for solutions to the problems I'm trying to solve.

How many times have you prompted ChatGPT for code and almost literally gotten an example from some NPM library's online documentation?

Clarence Thomas not only accepted free vacations and had undisclosed financial dealings with a GOP donor, he also supported the Citizens United ruling and insisted that SCOTUS should, “invalidate mandatory disclosure and reporting requirements.”

His actions drip with corruption.

After arguing with for about an hour, I nearly got it to admit that chopping up and eating a sexual partner is a moral gray area. After arguing it into a corner, I think I activated a panic state where it only responds with Google-like search results about philosophers.

Just had a long debate with about why it is unethical to have sex with a canteloupe but ethical to chop it up and eat it. Based on its answers, I think ChatGPT may be Catholic but not want to admit it.

Only after moving into soup-to-nuts, full stack architecture and development have I become truly, genuinely, cripplingly afraid of any update.
