I just love this whole "forbidden knowledge" schtick the AI safety dweebs have stuck up their butt. Is this really going to stop anybody determined enough to make that kind of outcome? There is an extremely narrow band of things t

This sort of overly eager upgrading has caused me a lot of problems over the years. I really wish it didn't default to updating the entire world just because you want to update one package.

Can we kill the hackathon please? Yes I totally want to get nerd-sniped for some of my precious off time for some trivial reward. NOT Its a fantastic deal for management if you can find people gullible enough. But a raw deal for the worker

It was the release of Stable Diffusion and its source code. I spent the next few days tinkering with my own Stable Diffusion implementation. I never got it past outputting total nightmare fuel, but it was fun! To this day I think of the pro

The Intended Method(tm) is an intentionally gimped feeding trough designed primarily to pacify uninquisitive minds and line Hollywood exec pockets. They have never ever been honest in their accounting or reasonable in their expectations, le

Ah yes, how virtuous to consume so much pointless detail. Looking at the aesthetics of the era, there is just so much frivolity and extraneous flourish. Clean lines and minimalism are avant garde. Yuck. I got shit to do. Art doesn't ne

You can ask them for high-level overviews of a given topic, and then drill down into individual sections of its response. With the most recent iterations, many of the times I have blindly stumbled into something new, it has pushed back with

The speeches may not have felt drawn-out, but the writing sure did If there is one thing that drives me nuts about old literature, it is how verbose authors seems to be.

Not OP but I just ask Claude Code to make me an openscad file. If I need changes I ask for them in plain english. If you are specific, it's not the quickest loop but it works. I usually ask it to parameterize the model enough so that I

It's probably a much larger list if you expand it to every other year. Though that won't make for nearly as exciting a post. That reminds me, I am overdue for a smog check...

I dont know about Win11, but in Win10, it is still there. You can see it in MDI apps and, in a few rare circumstances, I have seen the window manager seemingly crash and flash the old Win2000-style boxy design before going back to what it c

I hated magenta-blue CGA graphics soooo sooo much as a kid. It was (and still is IMHO) the ugliest thing I ever saw on a computer, by far. I had a monitor that had a switch in the back that would change those colors to red-yellow-green. It

There are tons and tons of successful plugin systems out there that do not have such ridiculous requirements. I have thousands of VSTs installed and have never been RAT'ed. What happened to practicing internet hygiene? At some point we

Why does a plugin system immediately imply sandboxing?
