Can I do awful things to the inzoi people?

Half the fun of the Sims is the fucked up sandbox you get.

It’s the trashier version of a Rolexus

Who is still buying these things man?

Fedora is pretty cool.

Linus Torvalds uses it, so you could say it’s the canonical distribution.

The GDP issue is not because of the AI bubble, it’s because of tariffs and the complete destruction of US soft power abroad

His son now owns Paramount now, but Larry can actually control every aspect

no single shareholder can outvote David, but it also means that he needs his father to approve everything from budgets to key investments

I haven’t hoisted any sails yet, as I’m actually kind of enjoying reduced content consumption subs I cut my streaming services this spring.

The current media landscape is too concentrated and somehow too fragmented behind disparate services. They’ve taken a problem that was briefly solved by Netflix and made it more confusing than cable while also trying to jam more ads in and jacking prices. It’s disgusting.

I wish we were getting more independent publishers as the costs have never been lower, the infrastructure is all commoditized, and consumer grade cameras are fantastic for 4K raw video. There’s also tons of artists around the country/world that want to make content, they just don’t have the capital and distribution options available to make it a full time job.

Frustrating.

That’s not really feasible without phones doing this automatically.

Even then didn’t the first Trump admin already argue iPhone video can’t be trusted because it’s modified with AI filters?

This is a real “the scorpion stung the frog” situation.

There was never any other way for this to go. Is in the scorpions nature to cram ads and tracking into your devices. That was always the strategy even with their Fire lines of devices.

Ring will be next. It’s already giving them your address, neighbourhood, routine, device types, etc. That data gates correlate to census income data, network traffic, etc. to build a profile of who you are as a consumer.

Fuck Larry Ellison and by extension now Paramount.

Sad I won’t be watching this.

I was wondering what happened to my portfolio.

I am asking that all the people doing this watch Jurassic Park at least once.

I’ll let experts do their thing, but this kind of thing worries me. I never had “there is no singularity, AI just engineers a generic disease by accident and kills is all” on my bingo.

Most software shouldn’t saturate either RAM or CPU on a modern computer.

Yes, Photoshop, compiling large codevases, and video encoding and things like that should make just of an the performance available.

But an app like Teams or Discord should not be hitting limits basically ever (I’ll excuse running a 4k stream, but most screen sharing is actually 720p)

I’ve been thinking of having a small model like a long context qwen 4b run and do quick code review to check for these issues, then just correct the main model.

It feels like a secondary model that only exists to validate that a task was actually completed could work.

How can your code be too pythonic?

Also type hints are the shit. Nothing better than hitting shift tab and getting completions and documentation.

Even if you’re planning to migrate to a hypothetical new code base, getting a bunch of documented modules for free is a huge time saver.

Also migrations fucking suck, you’re an idiot if you think that will solve your problems.

I’ve been working at a small company where I own a lot of the code base.

I got my boss to accept slower initial work that was more systemically designed, and now I can complete projects that would have taken weeks in a few days.

The level of consistency and quality you get by building a proper foundation and doing things right has an insane payoff. And users notice too when they’re using products that work consistently and with low resources.

Fabricated 4,000 fake user profiles to cover up the deletion

This has got to be a reinforcement learning issue, I had this happen the other day.

I asked Claude to fix some tests, so it fixed the tests by commenting out the failures. I guess that’s a way of fixing them that nobody would ever ask for.

Absolutely moronic. These tools do this regularly. It’s how they pass benchmarks.

Also you can’t ask them why they did something, they have no capacity of introspection, they can’t read their input tokens, they just make up something that sounds plausible for “what were you thinking”.

I’m growing very annoyed with Apple lately. Giving Trump a solid gold brick was bad enough. I knew it would get worse with all those Trump dinners Tim Cook has been attending.

Between Apple Google AWS and Microsoft the amount of control by US tech is terrifying.

This year I’ve started divesting but politically I think I need to accelerate.

I’ve been a user of the Mac for 20 years, this year I moved to a Linux desktop. Now I need to look into Linux phone and laptops soon.

I got mine from surplus.

Special thanks to Abby Normal for donating it.

Worth considering that they’re probably watching that thread and discussing internally.

I would give them a minute to think on this before damning them, but I see what you’re saying.
