Because actually writing code is the least important part of programming.

I think you figured it out. It’s not about immigrants, it’s about undesirables.
And those can be political or social - look up the first targets of German or USSR occupation in 1939 Poland, or who Khmer Rouge killed.
The goal is to keep the docile, undeducated masses, and everyone that “stirs the pot” gets erased.

I had two fitbit trackers before getting Sense, and honestly, I keep it on life support, buying replacement 3rd party straps and charging cables.

When it inevitably dies, I’d move on. I never found a use for Google assistant, it can’t even set my google maps navigation properly, can’t set a reminder.

The only thing it ever did of value to me is 5 minutes of asking it for a joke.

All this fuel talk when IRL you can’t drive anywhere if fuel in the tank is older than several weeks.

I don’t use turn signals when driving around a roundabout unless I’m exiting because I’m not psychotic.

But seriously, they are for signifying intent, not blinking idly, and they should be used plenty.

I put a turn signal on when I back into my underground parking spot when I’m literally the only person down there. Force of habit that I’m totally cool with.

TIL Sonnet 3.7 is worse than 3.5. How come?

Any Firefox-based browser can use “Tree style tabs” it’s vertical tabs from the time before they were cool. Very customizable.

I just don’t ascribe philosophical reasoning and mythical powers to models, just as I don’t ascribe physical prowess to train models, because they emulate real trains.

Half of the reason LLMs are the menace they are is the whole “whoa ChatGPT is so smart” common mentality. They are not, they model based on statistics, there is no reasoning, just a bunch of if statements. Very expensive and, yes, mathematically interesting if statements.

I also think it stiffles actual progress, having everyone jump on the LLM bandwagon and draining resources when we need them most to survive. In my opinion, it’s a dead end and wont result in AGI, or anything effectively productive.

If I could think I’d be so mad right now.

Statistical models are not intelligence, Artificial or otherwise, and should have no rights.

Infungible Plot of Land

FYI all ubiquity aps I ever bought broke within 5 years. Ymmv

All of them at once!

One thing that keeps me really calm about obsidian is the plaintext database. I can live with a proprietary db if the code is foss and I can fudge my data out if I need to. If code and db are proprietary, I’m not putting my data there if I can help it.

I used my kindle for 10 years now, and I never bought one. I did buy ebooks 3rd party plenty.

Oh hey that’s awesome, maybe I’ll put my RX460 back into the jellyfin VM for transcoding. I need to migrate that box anyway.

I use yakuake (or guake if I still used gnome), I love having a consitent terminal slide down the screen every time I press a shortcut, especially if it’s supplememtary to what I’m doing in the graphical shell.

Which one? Internet is not held by one thing, it’s a network.

Most of these are videogames, but also medieval commoner life, archeology, learning how to read music sheets, Morrowind challenge playthroughs, history and economy of Thailand, programming enterprise grade apps in rust.

This week? AuDHD doesn’t let me have one for long.
