Go is fine for simple applications especially backend ones that connect to the internet. I do prefer it to node/js/ts/etc. I do think a lot of projects would be better served having been written in go instead of java, or what

It's not all people trying to skirt the law. It's kind of like HAM radio as a hobby. It's fun technology that lets people do cool automation projects and sure with a mesh connect to other people. Imagine you have a few acres

It's in my comment history..sometime last week. I don't really care, I knew this was a surveillance move that's why I called it out. No clue if the anonymous poster was who they claimed to be anyways Here is the comment: htt

What happens when all the AI models train on lies about people an LLM wrote on social media?

I am delighted to see the ceiling on small models exponentially increase. I think the "make models unsustainably large because the benchmark improved by 1%" practice is ending. I think the thing boosting small models will be the t

Less secure because of all the ways attacks can scale out and hackers can contribute vulnerabilities to active projects.

It's such a bad time to be laid off right now. The competition is ridiculous. I have to compete with like 100k world class employees. Best wishes cloudflare former employees. I hope some of you make new companies and hire other geeks w

Write only code is such a bad bad idea. No one is reviewing 20k loc PRS with 15 new dependencies in an afternoon. Sorry it's just not happening I don't care how many years you have been a software engineer. Yet that's the new

They won't actually show you who said what though. Twitter trialed that feature then they quickly turned it off after everyone realized half of the maga influencers were russians. It also kind of stinks because not every mistake should

It adds a depth of nuisance that's for sure. I've seen users talk about how they can't wait until they don't need to ask for help anymore and can just use LLMs. Meanwhile I'm directly messaging with the person who m

Is this downloading and installing Python packages into the browser via wasm? I like the idea a little bit. Mostly because I don't like javascript. So I say keep going for it, it could fill some niches. I'm sure you know this, but

Discord is terrible. Full of bots, creeps and ai slopped to the gills. Some communities are better than others but the sheer volume of stinky trash is immense despite discord and the poor volunteer moderators efforts to prevent it. Most mod

This seems like the best way to handle it. Also, smaller communities. It's cool to do the global thing, but once you have 10k active users you can't moderate it with a team of 5 volunteers. I think the attestation approach works b

I left multiple online communities because the slop and the slop users were unbearable. I use ai okay. I think it's useful. But people who dove hard into this stuff treat all text on their screen like it's a chat bot and not a per

Yes. It is seriously not a coincidence that all of the ai companies are now offense contractors for the department of war. It's also not a coincidence they want to ban vpns, and force people to verify themselves with IDs, biometrics an

I called this out when it was announced on here. Supposedly the team lead replied to my comment saying this wouldn't happen. I rolled my eyes but asked will android be able to use those models for ex filtration. No reply. And apparentl

It's sad when our best hope is that the pumped economy dumps and tanks all the other industries so we can buy computers again.

Psychopaths and sociopaths come from all types of backgrounds. One things for sure, they all tend to gravitate towards power and exploitation of people without remorse. C suite and founders are far from immune from this...

Ollama is definitely not the way to go once you have an interest beyond "how quickly can I run a new LLM" rather then "how do I use a local llm to do things in a remotely optimal way"

I see your updated post. Switch over to llamacpp and look up recommended quants and settings. A good place for this info is on /r/localllama
