I wish I had learned to do this years ago. I still do not know how to do this now.

I read an anecdote about someone using eBay as a storage service. Buy what you want, use it, then resell. The difference in the purchase and resell price is the storage fee.

Why do they need AI for that? Just create another LLC, manslaughter any number of people, then have that LLC declare bankruptcy. Zero consequences.

First of all, I find it enraging that dimwitted AI companies decided to edit PR descriptions for anything at all.

Not sure I'd celebrate finding a library with 3 Github stars. Shouldn't the story there be vetting for quality or security?

I wish we had high speed rail. Rail travel is actually pleasant. Air travel is a godawful nightmare that is somehow worse every single year.

Is there a size cutoff you would say where diminishing returns really kick in? My experience doesn't disagree, at least. I've been using Qwen for coding locally a bit. It is much better than I thought it would be. But also still f

People are upset hearing that LLMs aren't sentient for some reason. Expect to be downvoted, it is okay.

Then the machines still need a more sophisticated "experience" compared to what they have currently.

Granted, it won't be competitive against the flagship dGPUs. Nevertheless, that ~2x is a pretty huge difference in similarly priced offerings.

I don't know why they'd stop at most programmers instead of all programmers. And the marketing department will also be AI. Companies want AI to remove the need for any labor so they can more directly gain money based on already ha

Federal agents couldn't possibly have been aware that executing people on the streets is a violation of those people's rights, so they are covered by QI.

Not quite, what is the vRAM bandwidth of each? The bandwidth is a huge contributor to LLM performance.

People used to have to make their own OS and programming language to be able to speak to god. Now they can just write a sufficiently detailed DEITY.md file.

If people spent a small amount of fuss to make sure they never paid for an ad-ridden spyware OS just to fulfill their "takes a few HDMI in" requirements, then we wouldn't be struggling with ad-ridden spyware OS TVs now.

If the neural interface can filter other ads, that frequency would be a reduction for many people.

Samsung is top of my list of companies to never buy from. Except SSDs, I guess. Would be nice if I could meaningfully reject all products from a given company. I'm sure they'll someday cram ads and spyware into those also.

It won't be "just a screen" for much longer if people continue paying for TVs that do this bullshit.

Let me know how I can participate in society without a cellphone, credit cards, sharing an ID with businesses, showing my face to ubiquitous cameras, whatever else. I'll do it. Tell me how.

"I don't have anything to hide," sort of foolishness.

What fearmongering has the anti-systemd crowd been selling you? Genuinely curious because I wish I wasn't running systemd. My perspective is that the things they (we?) are saying are basically correct. But the service manager works wel

They are already incentivized enough by selling the data, more incentives won't change anything.

I'd like a better boot manager but I sure as hell do not want systemd cancer to spread any further. Especially not after Poettering has started a remote attestation company.

Eternal September started before I was on the internet, but there have been several similar shifts since then. It gets continually worse. Agentic AI is another Eternal September. For example, we now have dimwits sending dozens of unsolicite

I just don't know how to explain that you won't be destroying capitalism with AI. You have a subscription.

We will all be shocked at the rug pull after it has finished training on all our high-quality feedback for code it has written.

Capitalism is feudalism but with raw generational wealth instead of generational wealth with divine right characteristics.

I would be pleased with the standup if it eliminated other meetings, but that has definitely not been my experience.
