Good clarification. I’m convinced we will end up bailing them out anyway. We should nationalize and operate as a public good if generative AI is that important to society.

Good call. He finally had 2 sane ideas!

It would be interesting to see how multiple language statistics have changed. With any luck, maybe the numbers have increased.

Couldn’t agree with both of you more. There are opportunities to use analysis and modeling to make travel safer than ever, but I highly doubt the powers at be are interested.

This is the first video generated by LLMs that I’ve enjoyed

Linux, vim, zfs

Neat!

I’m glad I’m not the only one!

Does anyone like LLM summaries in pages? This seems like a better fit for a browser extension to generate a summary on demand instead of wasting resources generating it for everyone. Google’s documentation is absolutely littered with the mess.

What about https://swappa.com/? I haven’t used it myself but have been tempted.

We could have had Sanders… Arghh

Search is another key benefit. It’s really nice being able to search the gamut of open source repositories for bits of code.

I really think tools like voiden, hurl, and verb make sense. They make it easier to troubleshoot a system later or to share requests with other developers without leaving the repo. The only real challenge becomes handling authentication scenarios without putting secrets in plain text.

Speaking of writing a thesis, I imagine that leaves plenty of room for PTSD! I personally like the direnv support for emacs much more than other environments, and I’ve become a big fan of ripgrep and fuzzy finding.

Ha! I still love it though

I’ve been enjoying verb.

Californication Hell on Wheels Justified

I’m not mad about this, especially with Google pushing Gemini so hard on all their devices. I pulled up the Chromebook site to see their current offerings, and the prominent advertisement for Gemini is pretty disgusting after fresh news of another death.

Yes this is true, and it’s good to remind everyone. I just had a random idea for the (rare) exception to the rule.

Age verification is stupid. I wonder if anyone thought of using a captcha. Require users to solve an appropriately complex problem before they use systems that require a certain amount of intelligence.

Would be fun to embed empathy quizzes for access to social media 😄

I’m convinced it should be illegal to operate social media platforms for profit. It wouldn’t solve all the problems, but it would make a dent.
