I blog so others can suffer too.Keep me posting
@jalcine He’s one of the better sources of info for AI, showing a clear awareness of the issues and concern in his posts.
And yet.
It kinda gets drowned out by his raw enthusiasm for the topic.
And this may be a skill issue, but I have yet to achieve anything like the results he’s done. Well. Skill issue and budget issue. You need enough funds for subscriptions and/or enough funds for one dang beefy machine for solid locally hosted.
@WuMargaret It’s okay I heard what you meant. It’s been a rough stretch and already a rough year. I’ve been feeling that urge to detach from my passions as a safety measure.
But really yeah we just want to stay away from folks who think they have the right to determine and aim our attention.
This comic got a chuckle out of me.
Loads easier doing the annoying code interview puzzle questions now, when I’m in my familiar dev environment and not under interview pressure.
Not submitting them to the Annoying Code Puzzles Dot Com because fsck gamification.
I’m saving the solutions in my notes, though. Obvs.
That kind of brain day.

uh
I don’t think that’s what I’m supposed to be seeing?
#Hugo + #Quarto may have been too bold on first coffee.
@deafferret That’s Obsidian’s Canvas tool. Best I can get you without a plugin is collapsing groups – the labeled frames.
@deafferret I got spoiled in Seattle. Every few years the annual Shifting of the Jet Stream windstorm would be bad enough to knock out power for a few hours. Other than that it pretty much wasn’t a concern.
@tithonium Don’t know how you feel / felt about your father, so I’ll just leave it at “happy birthday!”
Vaguely surprised it took me this long to add “Bezos” to my shitty rich-presenting white dude filter. Guess he wasn’t being referenced directly often enough to raise my blood pressure.
Saw him out of the corner of my eye the first time I contracted at Amazon (2004). Button-up shirt and jeans, the ridiculously high cost of which was obvious to the point of awkwardness for me multi-classing in Trailer Trash and Textiles. My common sense started tingling, so I avoided him at all times thereafter.
@deafferret @alex @PresGas @mattdsteele nice! I’m not surprised that Brid.gy has expanded beyond a simple one-way bridge.
Where I dropped out of it was evaluating reply visibility. My Webmention-reading code first evaluated whether it was a public reply, then looked up the account’s discoverable status. I think now I might also check indexable.
(but if indexable is false then maybe that account’s replies shouldn’t be showing up in my Webmentions)
@alex @PresGas I got a handful of intentional Webmentions. Mostly I used brid.gy for Twitter & Fedi replies as mentions.
But I thought about the informed consent aspect, and somebody replying to a toot isn’t automatically giving me permission to share their reply on my blog. So I put that on hold.
A big part of why I prefer Vim (and Neovim) right here. The ADHD need to have everything I’m currently thinking about in plain view.
Obsidian Shiki Plugin significantly improves code highlighting in #ObsidianMD. It uses Expressive Code, so it takes EC options. Nice.

@monospace That is interesting and relevant to my interests!
@funkatron I weighed the evidence when I was a kid and came to the conclusion that I’m a person, no matter how bumbling and disoriented.
Turned out not so comforting, because that means all the people are persons, including the actual worst people we know. I can’t just write anyone off as a monster. They do their stuff with roughly the same brain meat I have. Which makes me even madder at them.
