Does anyone vaguely remember those internet licenses from that Star Trek DS9 episode when they went back in time but it was the near future from the 80s perspective meaning that it’s actually today?

We’re going to have internet licenses soon

I feel like literally everybody knew it was a bubble when it started expanding and everyone just kept pumping into it.

How many tech bubbles do we have to go through before we leave our lesson?

A 1hr commute represents 16% of your day, how much of my day should be wasted commuting

This is so lame for the arch community, like I use arch btws are supposed to be the most hardcore power users and they bugged a dev that badly! I don’t know how many tutorial I saw about compiling arch and building everything yourself into a minimal setup.

You can’t give me shit for using Manjaro for as long as I did, GLAD I LEFT.

I’m trying to make Ollama more accessible so I can replace Chatgpt.

• I installed open-webui but I don’t wanna deal with tls certs so now I gotta figure out a way to use ssh tunnels (I hate Wireguard)
• I gotta figure out how Ollama can keep a model alive to answer me asap while not interrupting videogames
• I want to build tools for open-webui so I can integrate my local AI with Google calendar and Jira, right now it’s my open-api-toolkit project but it’s not ready for me yet.

I realized how much info I’ve been pushing to Chatgpt and it feels like 10000x more that what I’ve exposed to Google or Instagram. I share with Chatgpt all my wildest secret project ideas and I don’t want Chatgpt to have that anymore. I hope deleting my account will actually delete my chats but I know for a fact that that’s a dream.

Oh my gawd what a README!! I’m on my phone and I was trying to scroll back to the top of it from the bottom and I just kept on scrolling… Holy shit I’m going to put this on my kanban board give it proper attention

It’s equally a pro and a con but for me it’s a huge pro:

You can know exactly what your computer is doing because it will tell you!!

You can see highly verbose logs, granted it’s not easy to interpret without the necessary skills but Chatgpt doesn’t mind it if you dump 100 lines into a print and just say “fix my shit”, I do that routinely. I hated how windows would just freeze up and flash a popup like “Program not working” and I have to guess what’s going on by gauging the feeling of the software. I want exactly what I want to happen and Linux just does it without fighting me

NixOS makes me feel so safe making low-level changes to Linux and making sure that my work laptop, gaming desktop, and personal laptop all have the exact same shit on them and I’m gonna use them the exact same way.

I wish that nixlang was decoupled from the concept of a build system bc it’s such a great DAG config DSL and I can think of so many cooler uses for it but I just don’t have time to focus on it.

If you’re using a 3rd party client like Boost or Voyager it might not recognize the pifed domain as an activitypub instance… our friendly devs are doing there best

I really feel compelled to share that I actually really fucking love nix. I’ve never felt so confident that my computer would turn on no problem. It was hard and it was rewarding.

Idk I guess I haven’t had it for long but once I got my dotfiles the way I like I just stopped messing with it.

Also nix devshells are pretty dope (⁠◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕⁠✿⁠)

There is this brittle thing of foam everyone likes to make into weird shapes like little birds… I don’t know what it is called and I don’t want too

It might not be an animal, it might be an African Strangler

I just feel my stomach turn into a knot and I double over, that’s how I know that I’m hungry

Okay I don’t want to directly disagree with you I just want to add a thought experiment:

If it is a fundamental truth of the universe, a human can literally not program a computer to be smarter than a human (because of some Neil deGrasse Tyson-esq interpretation of entropy), then no matter what AI’s will crash cars as often as real people.

And the question of who is responsible for the AI’s actions will always be the person because people can take responsibility and AI’s are just machine-tools. This basically means that there is a ceiling to how autonomous self-driving cars will ever be (because someone will have to sit at the controls and be ready to take over) and I think that is a good thing.

Honestly I’m in this camp that computers can never truly be “smarter” than a person in all respects. Maybe you can max out an ai’s self-driving stats but then you’ll have no points left over for morality, or you can balance the two out and it might just get into less morally challenging accidents more often ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. There are lots of ways to look at this

Team Fortress 2:

I’d say its gameplay is more “robust” than special. Like you can have any and every kind of fight in TF2 but none of it is more special than an FPS that specializes in any game mode.

The companies might change but the bills stay the same…

Well angles between 3 points are always going to be angles. If your choose a different configuration of dimensional parameters you can effectively project a square from the 2D plane into this exact shape, then logically the angles would follow.

Not if this square is a projection of a curved surface

Tangent:

But does anyone remember that experimental subreddit that was only for bots to post and comment? Wonder what happened to it.

He got lucky

His luck ran out
