Here's to all the kids who were born with non-default settings; to all you who put the effort in to figure yourselves out.

You're amazing and deserve to be celebrated.

I'm glad you're here 💝

I feel like whoever is running the phishing op to scam fediverse people out of money may not be that great at their jobs

⚠️ Scam warning: there are accounts posing as Mastodon admins claiming to offer "rewards" or "payments" or "partnerships".

These are scams. There is no reward or payment schemes on Mastodon. No genuine admin would ever send this kind of post or reply.

When you install KDE software on a Thinkpad, it turns into a Kinkpad

#KDE

You know, it's kinda goofy software is racing to "churn out endless code as fast as possible". When I feel like the goal would be "incredibly stable software you are only called up to fix periodically or commissioned to craft a new product for radically different needs". You'd think software devs would prefer to kick at the beach or cybercafe or whatever tech guys like doing and collecting royalties from their well made products they only have to periodically fix (with those moments growing ideal further apart).

AI impacts 

Is it fair to compare the social impact of LLMs and GenAI to the radium fad of just 100 years ago? Is it fair to call them both hazards to mental and physical health alike?

Sure, the former inflicts mental harm while the latter inflicted physical harm, but enough harm to one causes the other to suffer and wither as well. And like the radium fad before, the people today's LLM/GenAI fad harms include those who know about and try to avoid its dangers.

@Phorm At least you're not yelling at your own bottle's smoke. :3

If you're one of the people who knows why this hasn't been done before, let the vibecoders figure it out for themselves.

A'ight. The whole vibecoding thing deserves a chance to prove itself.

So here's something that I haven't seen done sufficiently well by regular coders; if AI is truly that much more innovative, it shouldn't have any problem.

One of the problems with compute is the whole billing and scheduling thing - a lot of places have specific cost-per-hour to run batch processing; a lot of large enterprises have complex pipelines that need scheduling in order to interleave things that need processing with resources available to process them.

So a vibe coder who's confident they can prove themselves could create a utility that can look at a given program's binary, analyze it, and determine how long it will take to run, and calculate the cost to run it. Do this within 1% of actual and you'll have a truly innovative new product.
