@Ashedryden @catsaladCat 🐈🥗 (D.Burch) my mom once bought my cat a fitness tracker that tracked his progress toward his daily nap goal of 18 hours per day.
I thought about swapping my fitbit for that because I liked that goal better.
Jedna zastávka, dva různé označníky. Vlevo klasický červený, vpravo nový ve vzoru "Čitelná Praha". Pro mě je tedy jednoznačně čitelnější ten červený. Černý je hůře viditelný, ponurý, navíc působící všedním dojmem.

@Ashedryden It's okay, it's just your inner cat (that wants to sleep 20 hrs a day)

This was a delightful read, tech is still cool from time to time, if you know where to look and no money is involved.
Which is another way of saying, if you have some spare time you could also spend your evening reading a blog post about decompiling Silicon Graphics' PROMs. This is fedi's bread and butter.

John Oliver's Show covered what's happening with X/Twitter. How it's algorithms are designed to push right-wing content, and how people don't just get away with, but get paid for inciting violence and hate speech. His advice? Leave X.

although I am curious about the psychology of the openclaw trend, I could never see myself allowing a bot to publish a website about our interactions if I ever had one.
but if I did, the posts would be things like:
- my human told me today that I am as important as "this shitty screwdriver I bought at IKEA". bless her heart she must like me a lot 💘
- today I screwed up a basic programming task and my human complained that I used 3000kWh of power to deliver a total garbage result, she just keeps motivating me to try!!!!
actually probably not because I'm not really like that but this stuff squicks me the fuck out

Some cities are dumping Flock thanks in part to pressure from communities and Flock's own shady practices.
"many city officials have realized after the fact that they were sharing their data more broadly than they had known, and that federal agencies, including U.S. Border Patrol, had searched their data." #flock #alpr #police #surveillance

The second in a series of interviews with the GIMP team, this time with core developer Øyvind Kolås, also known online as Pippin.

Lol, most of these impressions were on a post I made about why you maybe shouldn't verify your LinkedIn account.
Every time I see someone saying “Oh no, I missed the CFP deadline”, I can’t help thinking about all those features in Python or Django that were deprecated for years… and then someone is shocked when they finally get removed. 🫠
Weeks of announcements. Years of warnings. Deprecation messages in the logs. And still: surprise. 😅
Maybe warnings and deadlines only become real the day after they expire. 🪄
Armin was once one of the most prolific programmers in Python. Says he never writes code anymore. Seeing more and more people like him write stuff like this on what are supposedly computer programming forums. https://lobste.rs/s/qmjejh/ai_is_slowly_munching_away_my_passion#c_jcgdju
Notably, once a person crosses this threshold, I see them still hang out on programming forums, but they never talk about any of the puzzles of programming anymore. Only about running agents. Which feels strange and sad. Why hang out on the forums at all then?

I have my fifth graders write a program that will convert decimal numbers to Roman numerals. They know that there are already webpages that do this with smart trim programs that always give the right answer. They know they could ask an LLM and probably get the right answers most of the time.
They still want to solve the puzzle.
"It works! It works!"
I've love hearing that when I'm teaching.
Ok, i voted, can i please stop getting a dozen text messages per day about this now

@gugurumbeVivien (toujours dans le déni) I'm not saying people *should* use it for summarize and explore, I'm saying that's a different category of concern, if done with a local model.
However, I'll also point out you were trying to debug LaTeX, which I would argue is a nearly impossible task no matter how many resources are thrown at it ;)

Feeling FOMO about AI? Well here's my advice!
Stay on top of what's happening. Which doesn't really require *using* the tools. Just see what people are doing.
Whether or not you do use it, stay a practitioner. And don't fall for the FOMO.
Your career won't end because you're not making the choice to use AI. (If your employer makes you use it, that's another thing.)
If you use AI, use it for "summarize and explore" tasks. DO NOT use it for *generate* tasks. That's a different thing.
If you want to differentiate yourself, *learning skills* is the differentiation space right now.
These things are easy to pick up. You can do it whenever. But keep learning.
If you see generated examples, don't paste or accept them. Type them in by hand! The hands on imperative: actually trying things congeals core ideas.
And if it doesn't help your career... well, your consolation prize is: you'll stay interesting.
@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber Also, don't use it for "summarize" because it literally can't do that.

@renchapRenaud Chaput 
@jerryWary Jerry You might be on to something here. There are a vast number of smaller orgs whose websites are getting positively swamped by all kinds of content scraping activity, much of it to build out LLMs. There are real and direct costs, and this is an important and seldom highlighted one.
@briankrebs @renchapRenaud Chaput I can objectively say that AI scrapers are a massive problem for me and a drain on resources. Everyone and their dog is trying to scrape the internet continuously with badly designed/vibe coded crawlers that don’t seem to keep track of what they’ve already crawled, let alone the context of what they are attempting to crawl or honoring robots.txt etc

Steve Klabnik also had an interview on lobste.rs. There's a lot in it! It's a cool read! https://alexalejandre.com/programming/steve-klabnik-interview/
And then it gets to the AI part and he's just like "oh I don't write code anymore".
And notably Steve Klabnik has a lot to say about code, but it's *all in the past*.
Lots of brilliant people are becoming non-practitioners.
