It's a truth universally acknowledged that if you google a subject and scroll down far enough, you'll find some "Foone" punk talking about it on twitter.

this is twice as annoying when it happens to me

If I installed new server software that served websites 500% faster but also crashed sometimes, your first question would be "how frequent are the crashes?" and if I shrugged you'd back away slowly and start looking for my replacement.

But with LLMs & hallucinations that's just normal operating conditions and you're a luddite if you ask too much about it.

A very insightful talk!

it's tragic that microsoft gs wavetable synth doesn't have chorus, the chorused honky tony piano part is one of my favourite parts of this song and you can only appreciate it if you use, well, basically anything other than microsoft gs wavetable synth to play it back

here's PASSPORT.MID from Windows 95 played back with my Roland SC-7

PASSPORT PLEASE

Today, 15 years ago #OTD the person or group with the fictive name of “Satoshi Nakamoto” created the first cryptocurrency named Bitcoin with the thought of it becoming a secure and fast alternative to fiat currency.

Now it's known as the most wasteful use of electricity, inefficient and limiting capability/functionality, as well as being among the most insecure and de-anonymizing ways to transfer money.

However, what Satoshi Nakamoto probably hasn't expected is how many scam-currencies would come after theirs, and how their invention would create a new breed of the most annoying people known to our species: crypto-bros.

@hikari Yeah, I feel like the question of "who is this for and what purpose does it serve" doesn't always get asked, but it really does guide what kind of alt text it'd even need.

The other thing is, the WCAG guidelines tend to emphasize concise descriptions in ways that posts about alt text here don’t. If the community guidelines don't line up with pre-existing "advice for writing alt text" guides, that makes it even harder to figure out.

PASSPORT MID? i find this composition to be quite excellent actually
