Apparently RAM prices are going through the roof, both DDR5 and earlier DDRs, because thanks LLMs, and they're expected to stay that way for maybe all of 2026¹. I guess my 2018 home desktop gets to stay being my desktop for another year or two.

(It's not like it's suffering from performance issues, although it does now take 45+ minutes to build Firefox.)

¹ Oh look, another reason to hope for an LLM crash that guts the demand for new GPUs with lots of RAM.

Dabei werden im Vergleich zu generiertem Datendurchfall solche Inhalte von denkenden Personen erstellt, bearbeitet, überprüft. Hingegen werden die umfangreichen Nachteile von generativem Zeug ignoriert oder sind nicht bekannt (?).

Würde es gern fundierter ansprechen - aber wie umsetzen, ohne dass es zu umfangreich wird, trotzdem wesentliche Kritikpunkte enthält, wenn Betreffende davon begeistert sind (also Kritik vllt. persönlich nehmen könnten)? Und ich bin auch noch nicht so lang dort. 🤔

무슨 일이 있는지는 모르겠지만 아무튼 그렇게 보고되고 있습니다. ​​

In der Schule, in der ich als Teilhabeassistenz arbeite, nutzen sowohl Lehrkräfte als auch Schulleitung vollkommen unkritisch generative K"I" (ChatGPT).

Ich erinnere mich noch, wie feindlich Lehrkräfte zu meiner Schulzeit ggü. Informationen aus dem Internet eingestellt waren, insbesondere Wikipedia ("nicht zitierfähig" - ok, aber gut als erster Überblick und vertiefend könnten eben verlinkte Quellen genutzt werden).

So I’m quickly running out of non-caffeinated herbal teas/tisanes that aren’t bedtime teas to have in the afternoon.

What are your favorite non-caffeinated (not decaffeinated) teas that aren’t overwhelmingly fruity? Bagged in paper or loose.

Das man überhaupt über ein 2036 Olympia in Berlin diskutiert finde ich maximal insane.
Finde dieses 100 jährige Jubiläum kann man auslassen. Auch gerne, dass die Spiele von einem Diktator eröffnet werden.

Danke

Da gerade viel über den Lobbyverband „Die Familienunternehmer“ geschrieben wird. Und da auch vieles durcheinander geht… Nein, diese Organisation vertritt nicht „die Interessen von 180.000 Familienunternehmen“. Tatsächlich gibt es 6500 Mitglieder, darunter BMW & Merck.

In "Gödel, Escher, Bach" there's a passage about record players where Hofstadter posits that every machine has a particular crafted input which is inimical to its design. For my particular connecteome, this is the accurate spelling of the words: Gingrich, bureaucracy, Caribbean

Wenn die Milliardärsfamile Quandt/Klatten im „Verband der Familienunternehmer“ mit der AfD kungelt (so wie Elon Musk auf dem AfD-Parteitag), muss man dann nicht BMW genauso wie Tesla boykottieren?

The YouTuber F4mi recently made a great video about why modern user interfaces in games have gotten so bland in recent generations, and went into great detail about the market and management forces which restrict creativity in the UX space.

I chimed in in the comments about more of the technical reasons why flat vector art has become the norm in games. F4mi liked the input, but a whole bunch of randos hopped on to say shit like “IDK I think you’re all just dumb and lazy. Just make better menus”

Evolution doesn’t look how it’s depicted in pop culture. We often picture the famous “March of Progress” illustration where a series of apes stand in line leading to a modern human.

But evolution is not linear. It branches and branches. Divides in some places and recombines in others. #science

"Suddenly, media outlets seem to have figured out that President Donald Trump is really, really unpopular. There’s been a palpable shift in the discourse: The New York Times reports that Republicans are quietly looking beyond Trump, suggesting he’s losing his grip on the party."

They said it couldn't be done!* But it's getting close! Search match styling will change, and there is no GUI for this yet. But we now have an end-to-end connection between the renderer, input stack, and search internals.

*: Nobody said it couldn't be done.

I don't remember many details; I had lost my family in an accident less than a year before, and my brother, who always told me how to get around, wasn't there to help me. I walked around the block of the Rectorate twice until I found the place to submit my registration and documents :) I went through the procedure mechanically, choosing 5 courses: physics, calculus, chemistry, language, and the optional course was Fortran. I left relieved and in a hurry: I want to go back home.

Kinda surprised it took this long - but… stop keeping credentials unencrypted in your home directory and also building tools that default to it please 🙃

Every OS has a keychain at this point… use them and yell if you can’t 🙃

Cedric Chin says comparisons of our current AI *maybe-bubble* to the dot-com bubble and the 2008 GFC are limiting, Matthew Prince does a post-mortem on last week's Cloudflare outage, "hl" is a fast / powerful log viewer for humans, Enthusiast Guy's Continuum 93 is a fantasy computer emulator, and a list of things that aren't doing the thing.

AI has been infiltrating knitting and crochet spaces, filling them with useless patterns. Here's why that's happening and what can be done about it.

Others have drawn parallels between AI and photography: the invention of photography decimated the market for portrait painters but didn’t eliminate painting as a craft, pastime, or vocation.

Photography was invented 200 years ago.
The majority of paintings we all know were painted *after that*.

People ask me why, in an AI era, I devote my time to tools for crafting a site by hand.
People will still make sites by hand.
All the best tools for making sites by hand *have yet to be invented*.

I need to do a poll where I'm in agreement with the majority next.

so, okay, we've been making mistakes in production with DNS since we were 16, right? we can tell you some stories!

none of them end in someone telling us "don't worry, nobody else understands the changes they make when they do this either".

hearing this from someone well-regarded in our field would have been actively detrimental to getting us to where we are today.

because we guarantee you that for every do-ho-ho bumbling mediocre guy who goes "lol, nobody understands $thing" there is at least one person who does, cleaning up after the messes that this type of fucking guy leaves behind.

This is sick. #Ubuntu running on a #Blackberry Passport.
