Back on an Android phone after a 3 year retreat to the world of iOS. Pixel 6a. I can't yet decide if the weird skinny aspect ratio is bug or feature. Overall, no surprise, works great!

Rough translation, “So I got myself in an awful stick with Tilly. Wanted me to tie the knot, yikes. So I spoke to Jeeves, he’s always has such wizz ideas to help a chap out. He said “leave it to me sir” and that’s how I ended up racing La Vuelta.”

💯 -- also "unique voice" as everything likely goes even more monoculture, I think, in the way that TV made everywhere sort of California.

Enjoyed the discord experience @steveklabnik put together for the Oxide Computer Company podcast recording yesterday with Bryan Cantrill, Adam Leventhal, tbray and guests. I remain federation skeptical, future curious, but find me @[email protected] (2017 era mastodon.social remains unused).

Of all the optimistic 00s era takes, "AI will think logically from first principles so it will be free from human biases" has probably died the hardest.

I think the funniest thing about this is that messing around with ADS-B data is like the nerdiest of nerd traditions, practically a rite of passage for every college aged hacker.. ultra hardcore embarrassing.

Feels predictable that every one of these dreambooth-based generative AI sites built in a week by the valley bro industrial complex (😂) would almost immediately become soft porn sites, no?

Mastodon is feeling more and more to me like the armed rebellion of hackers that accelerated Linux and Firefox. There are lots of challenges with the protocol, implementation, UX, etc.. But when you start with a rebel alliance of hackers, code problems are jet fuel not friction.

These headphones are now 30 years old and aside from $15 foam pads every year or two and having to re-solder a wire once, they have been flawless, and I’m pretty sure could be the most used object I’ve ever owned. #photo #headphones #grado

If Apple wants to show regulators that the App Store is a safe and trusted environment to warrant its monopoly on software on iPhone, this kind of stuff shouldn’t exist — let alone be topping the App Store charts. As a developer this makes me both mad and really sad.

1/22 This is Svetlana Maniovich. She is your guide to the world of extreme Russian glamour. She radiates richness. Diamonds, furs, Rolls Royces - she has it all and more. In summer you can find her in St Tropez where she rents a villa for €150k/month, or on a yacht in Naples🧵

"it's a miracle any of this works at all" <-- something I find myself saying on a daily basis.. 😆

Models I've checked out in the past month or so as I try to learn some of this stuff: • redpajama-7b • falcon-7b • replit-code-3b • mpt-7b • flan-t5-large up to flan-t5-xxl Any others? I'm largely just looking at approaches, supporting tooling, docs, etc.
