Hey! I’m CEO of a company that has just raised $10 billion for an app that takes the hard work out of enjoying music. Did you know, some people waste hours each day listening to “tunes”. Our AI will listen to it for you and summarise it in a 15 second scream leaving you more time to focus on what's really important in life: adding value.
Day 4 of Advent of Compiler Optimisations!
Multiply by 2, 3, 4, 16, 25—which ones use the actual multiply instruction? Spoiler: fewer than you think! The compiler has a bag of tricks for avoiding multiplication, using shifts, adds, and that versatile LEA instruction. But when you outsmart it with your own shift-and-add... it un-optimises you right back!

mastodon needs to implement "this post has been deleted, but here's the rest of the thread above and below", i'm sick of good discussions being cut off and impossible to follow because one person who auto-deletes everything after 7 days participated in it.

Bug fixing on an iPad while commuting on the train:
The only reason selective colleges and universities are anywhere *close* to parity is because of affirmative action for young men, defended not as a matter of remedial justice but as a matter of maintaining a particular campus atmosphere. Abolish that, you get 60-40 right away, 65-35 soon.

If you describe a situation and OpenAI finds for you an existing image, you know what image database the image came from, and you know whether you're allowed to use it, and you know you're committing a crime, and OpenAI wants to relieve you of this final burden.

Doing some dev work on Hometown and thought "Oh crap, I need to test in a local environment how Articles will render in timelines. But I'm not running anything locally that sends Articles."
Then I remembered, oh right, I literally released a tool for this last month! ActivityPub Fuzzer to the rescue.
Just added easy-to-read logs to the ActivityPub Fuzzer! Here's a log of the fuzzer pretending to be Bookwyrm, along with an example of what the Create(Note) and the Article review look like in Hometown.
Note the "read article" link, which is a Hometown feature to be compatible with AP implementations that emit Article objects. You can also see at a glance that the "summary" field that Hometown is rendering here is actually coming from "object.name" (because "summary" is used for CWs lol)
![A simple "log" page with a "Clear Log" and "Mark All as Read" button. Underneath those buttons are UI cards, each formatted like:
title: Bookwyrm basic Article book review
Software: Bookwyrm
Time: now
Content preview: [a longish excerpt from Moby-Dick with header html embedded]
And "inspect" and "FSO" links, the former showing you the generated activitypub JSON blob, the latter taking you to the page on the Fediverse Schema Observatory for that particular schema.](https://friend.camp/system/media_attachments/files/115/663/018/583/038/569/original/587dab3182fc20f5.png)
TLDR; Anyone looking for affordable #science #tutoring let me know.
👩🔬 <- My aunt is a wonderful human being. She is qualified as a #science teacher and over the last year has undergone quite an upheaval in life, relocating to a totally new area in the process. She’s now looking to get back to work via personal tutoring from the new year onwards.
She’s not in it for the money, preferring to help those less advantaged. If you know anyone in secondary education in the UK who wants/needs extra tuition let me know and I’ll put you in touch.
Ideally she’ll get some work local to her in the #Malvern area (#Worcestershire) that she can do in person, but she can also do a few slots per week remote tutoring via Jitsi or similar.
“If everyone who streamed All Hell on Spotify had done so using Tidal instead, we would have received an extra £31,847.38, which would double the amount we made from streaming of the album in this time period. Or if everyone used Apple Music it would have been £12,331 more.”

One thing about "AI" is with the technology OpenAI has (large neural network plus manual tagging) you could've made the best search engine ever. There could be a Copilot where you describe what you wanted and it finds an example of it in the corpus of open source software. You could go from a fuzzy image description to a stock image. These would be better than buggy code and fucked up images. But they wouldn't do that because the *service* OpenAI provides is obscuring that the content is stolen.

所得税の増税は軍拡ではなく生活のためにこそ使われるべきだ。
税の再分配機能からしてもそれが本筋だし、軍拡には湯水のごとく費やす一方でお米券などという低レベルな生活支援策に留まる高市政権の税金への認識には問題しかない。
