A two panelled meme.  First panel shows a guy kneeling down beside a pool with another person up to their neck in water. The kneeling guy says "Senpai of the pool, what is your wisdom"  Second panel zooms in on the Senpai's face, who says "what the fuck did you just call me"

 you define through your interactions with it (and based on the data that it      │

 then you could create a generalized personal assistant. All you have to do is    │
 explain the specific role that it's meant to undertake, (like being a            │
 secretary for your Discord communications) and the actions that it can take      │
 (like pinging your cell phone if it's really important) and give it the tools    │
 to accomplish said tasks (by setting flags in a config file that is then         │
 interpreted by a local program running on your computer that awaits              │
 interactions) then it might actually be a bit useful.                            │

a before and after picture of the pinpricks of light that dot the map of the USA at night.  Before, is the standard night-time lights. They twinkle and glimmer and illustrate the connections we people do share.  After, a vast swathe of darkness flows over the land, billowing through the mountains and the trees. There are entire cities wiped clean off the terrain, and where once there was connected constellations of man-made starlight, now only shadow remains.

7. gray text on a gray background, as if to suggest the normalcy of concrete even though it's made of crushed tiny shells from a billion zillion years ago ready and waiting here for this moment, when they can be next to you in this life you've taken to, how starlight must seem to a computer!  anyway, the gray text on the gray background reads: "phew, that was weird. ... anyway ..." with the dots and the anyway on a slant from one another, as if they were falling off of the page. 6. picture of the sun cast upon a sunset background, with a large tower of shadow flanked by images of birds and contrails of airplanes. there is an indicator on the blue box meaning someone who is looking at it. don't look at the sun!  silly to assume that our perspective of reality is viewed from the same direction as a planetary body. anyway the face of the planet in question is [redacted] (not really but like... I'm redacting it for artistic purposes because I'm trying to convey a truth with that redaction that is important for the viewer and listener to understand. My ears when I type so fast, owwww)  oh the birds are so pretty, like little things that hold their own against gravity. I'd love to watch them flutter, if only I could see every inch of the planet.  I wonder if you could design a building to explode such that only a single interior building was damaged, and everyone else in the building would only hear a muffled "boom" but more like "boof" but not quite so fluttery, and more "bang" but not "ban ggg" but more like "bnf" pronounced "buh nuh fff" except a little bit more like "bmft" but without each syllable being pronounced at once, more like all four together at once.  especially if you had several rooms between them. I mean, if you know when to open and close the doors so they think their region is inhabited, perfect. but if they don't know you they just pretend the building is empty... even though it's hard to find parking???  anyway theres more but no words 5. bright shocking pink and orange backgrounds. white text, the color of snow and the center of the sun (comprised of all the photons) reads "dot dot dot what" as in like "...what"  then, orange text, same color as the background, contrasted against the color of the backdrop (which was purpleish pink, the color of substances unknown to humanity before like, the invention of Paint)  the text reads "right. basically, fb marketplace except... F O S S" meaning F free O open S source S software. However, upon clarifying in white text on an orange background, like the color of the center of the sun (because the photons received by the outer edges of your eyes is the color of the photons that curved through your lens and activated your sensory receptors in the backside of your brain)  anyway, don't look at the sun kids.  the text written in that color reads: free [hastily or poorly drawn ampersand, meaning "&"], open source (with the first character S being twice as large as the others) soures pronounced like sow err sss then the last word adaman pronounced like "adamant" without the T, end text, a word meaning incredibly strong and metallic. stronger than mithril, depending on the game. Like Runescape, one of the classic MMORPGs, a genre that emerged from MUDs with graphical enhancements. I mean if you think about it runescape is just a text based adventure where you can move as many rooms as you want in one journey and where each room has "things" you can interact with from there. 8. strange colors now, of salmon and the smell of mossy rain mixed with something a little gross but... natural? I guess?  in the middle is white, like marble, which makes an interesting clickety clack noise when you use it on it'self. like a marble chair on a marble floor staring out onto a marble palace or auditorium or park (tasteful trees included) (like plums and apricots and cherries and more)  the text reads in black upon this surface, the color of stable ideas. written in the prose of legalese, words seem to be a little more rely able. except, this text is not legalese, but rather evoking the same idea through it's presentation. it reads "the idea is that if people have a way to engage with *everyone* (in italics for emphasis), they'll be more invested in the wellbeing of their neighbors. (craigslist, but good) with the last half of the "good" cut off, as if to suggest that it might be rude to present the whole thing, meaning it'd be better not to take it out of context. as in like, making decisions on misleading instructions designed for one thing but executed for another. oh well, I hope this doesn't take me to hell, I just want to fight for our purpose. I'm not a warrior, but I'll do in a pinch.  as in "sorry craigslist you're not bad, but like just unfit for this purpose, we need something fully open source that we can read and understand and which is continually abstracted until we *can* understand it without knowing how code works sorta like design documents but

There's a word for the process: Gleichschaltung  "Some officials have referred to the newcomers sent by the White House to federal agencies disparagingly as “MAGA commissars," a reference to Communist Party officials from the former Soviet Union.  They are generally young and many do not appear to have particular expertise or background in the portfolios of the agencies in which they are working, according to three U.S. officials, who, like others, spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals.  They said the screeners seem to be looking for even the slightest divergence between candidates and Trump’s MAGA movement and “America First” policies. A negative social media post or a photograph with a Trump opponent has been enough for some applications to be rejected or put on hold for further review.  One official said he and several colleagues from various agencies had been told that even if they passed the initial vetting process to be admitted into the applicant pool, they would still need to prove their bona fides and convince interviewers of their “enthusiasm” to put in place Trump's policies, including by providing references from people whose loyalty had already been established.  This official said one colleague who made it to the interview stage was asked when that person's moment of “MAGA revelation” had occurred." #USPol #MAGA

post title: After Boeing declines to pay up, ransomware group leaks 45 GB of data  384 points, 264 comments. Posted 7 hours ago.  npalli 3 hours ago  For an external party, having access to the 45 GB is the easy part. Now, you will need to create a company and supplier base the size of Boeing to make any use of this :-)  reply   lallysingh 1 hour ago  I can imagine this complicating any supplier contract negotiations. "you pay X $50/unit more for the same device, etc."  reply  alexpotato 29 minutes ago  I remember taking a procurement class in graduate school(MBA).  One of the more interesting points of discussion was that when big companies negotiate purchase agreements for parts, the actual cost of the parts can be very transparent. The negotiation is generally about the actual markup e.g. "I think we should pay X% over cost.  Someone, logically, brought up: "What if the company is not willing to share the cost upfront?".  The professor responded: "Well, if it's a public company you can generally deduce a rough cost/part and use that as your starting point in the negotiation"  Student: "Well what if the company says we're wrong?"  Professor: "No problem: ask them what the correct number is. If they don't want to give it to you, ask them how you expect to have a long term partnership if you are not willing to talk openly and honestly about things like parts costs."  reply  continued on part 2 part 2:  reply  wordpad25 23 minutes ago  That's kind of a softball, can easily be counted with "part costs vary a lot based on the market" or something like, regardless of cost we guarantee you this price point  No business wants to share it's internal costs, it's their prime competitive advantage  reply written in text reply entrance box but not submitted yet:  this is an example of the difference between international trade and internal organization. the professor probably worked in a less globalized time, considering that it's only ever gotten more so. when he was involved in business, perhaps it worked that way. now, perhaps not. such is the fallacy of teaching an evolving field - students learn better by doing. trial and error is the basis of innovation, so why hamper them with trials, regulations, and accreditations? ah if only our jobs weren't tied to our wealth. perhaps then we could help wherever we wanted, and with our actions vote for our valued harders. (what we value, espouse, and are known for. the product of our labors, the design of our corrections from the base instructions, etc)  sure seems a shame to waste all our effort at each corporation. Kinda makes me feel like we're solving the same problems over and over again.

perspective of the earth of the sun, when viewed without photons.  at the top left of the page, there are the words "the sky is black" written in green, the color of plants and renewal.  in the middle there is an orange line arcing from one edge to another, the color of sunlight and warmth.  criss-crossing the sun's line there is a series of steps, moments that correspond to a larger structure. The line for this is majenta, a strange color not found in nature.  on the bottom there are the words "amid the stars", written in red, the color of life and passion.  this entire scene has been framed in cyan, the light of cold and un-friendliness.  the portrait is arranged on a canvas like a rolled up carpet, or perhaps the perspective of the earth on the stars  it's designed with few colors, perfect for an AMOLED screen. Or just OLED in general - they have this neat functionality where if you don't send color data to a particular pixel, it doesn't turn on at all. Leaving a blank surface that feels "matte" to the glossy perspective of the colored pixels.  matte like the surface of a pool table, glossy like a mirror.  because of this fact, an AMOLED surface can feel "textured" to the eyes in a way that the glass surface of the phone might never bely  artwork such as this, when viewed on such a phone, is beautiful to me.

 consuming than a laminator but the result is decent enough.

 I want to go camping with a bunch of programmers bearing laptops. Each person
 can bring a book or three and whatever documentation they can fit on their
 computer and then we just spend 3 months in the mountains doing nothing but
 programming, hiking, sitting around the campfire, and dreaming of a better
 tomorrow

dated "almost christmas, december twenty something, in history AD."  live is just the universe interpreting random data.  life is a billion to one. what has been found here is impossible to descrive, so unlikely is it when sompared to the background.  space is empty save for you. act as such.  a human preserves and infant over an elder is purely due to the child's potential. so too does life have potential. do not waste it on folly   dashes  if you were given a random waveform, how long before you begin noticing irregularities in it's form?  maybe... a billion or two years?  espcially if like, everyone's lkooking.  [non-alien-voice]: what if we made an app that shared everyone's streaming feed? except, like, twitching to on-screen events like picking up coins in mario  ... anyway as I was saying, aliens showed up around the 1980s and people expect they were visiting in response to nuclear invasion events (sometimes even on their own people!)  like, c'mon there's not enough mass there for that kind of detonition. it's gotta be an anomaly.  ... this changes everything.

 I recommend looking at Ollama, which runs an HTTP server on your local machine   │
 (hope you have a decent graphics card)                                           │

 LuaSockets library. Also dkjson to handle the json parts.                        │
 then, all you have to do is construct a prompt based on the variables and        │
 desired input/output and push it into a json packet and send it to the HTTP      │
 server. It's less complicated than it sounds.                                    │
 what you want it to do and your implementation for it is the hard part. But      │
 perhaps this project of mine will get you started:                               │
 (I can copy-paste it too if you'd like)                                          │
 just... don't make a chatbot. chatbots are useless to work on because there's    │
 already so many of them.                                                         │
 much better I think to use the LLM to process arbitrary information with an      │
 unpredictable form into more predictable patterns which can be utilized          │
 programmatically.                                                                │
 Feel free to ask any questions. Do keep in mind that training LLMs is            │
 unethical, but using them is whatever.                                           │

 I most often find the most important insights upon my 2nd time learning them.
 it's kinda nice to have a poor memory sometimes, because I can relearn things
 that once had been lost, and in doing so reach different conclusions than the
 first time.
 
 the problem about learning from YouTube for me is that their algorithm
 de-prioritizes videos you've already seen. darnnnn guess anything I learned
 from a Vsauce video or w/e will be forever lost in my mind... alas

 then, you can sculpt those pixels if you really need to, to create
 high-resolution displays used locally, to increase user-performance flow rate.
 
 the old UIs weren't bad - they were constantly tested, as they were new and
 emerging technology. The old UIs had different constraints than our 2560x1440p
 monitors have to say. However, they still made correct decisions, so if
 desired their decisionmaking can be used to inform future UI design as well.

 if people wrote what they thought as fast as they thought it, then you'd have
 an approximation of a mind-reading machine.
 
 If the writing kept pace with the thoughts, you'd be writing as fast as the
 brain can think (the brain cannot intentionally think "slower" which is one of
 the biggest arguments against IQ testing and other conceptions of "linear
 intelligence") - you cannot write for 5 minutes straight without thinking
 about (and writing) what you are hiding.
 
 uh, yes, you, can. just, pause, after, each, letter, and, increase,,, the
 pause amount, after each important word.
 
 yeah but that's still processing the thought as fast as possible and just...
 waiting around, idle, until the next thought is to be had. It's just how
 brains work.
 
 so anyway it'd be a constant stream of consciousness way of outputting exactly
 what the mind-reading machine is saying.
 
 Just make sure you trust the person who made the mind-reader machine, and
 maybe make sure it's impossible to tamper with.
 
 or don't make it??

 I've been reading "A People's Tragedy" by Orlando Figes lately, a book about
 the Russian Revolution of 1918
 
 I'm convinced that we'll win, our conditions are better than theirs, and
 frankly the only thing I'm really worried about is that we'll use more force
 than is necessary. It's cathartic, after all, and how many people out there
 believe that the first American Civil War should have ended in salting the
 fields, rather than just burning their plantations to the ground?
 
 ... oh, what's that? we didn't burn the plantations? Ah, I see. Well, maybe
 there's a balance to be met. Maybe we can make up for lost time. I should read
 "A People's History of the United States" by Howard Zinn some more.

I feel like education, by default, should not be hard.  "you get out of it what you put into it" is something I always heard of school  but when I got there, I found I was compelled to become what the state wanted me to be.  they need competent workers, to work the farms and tend to their industries, so of course I should be able to do 3+3  then somewhere along the line it became... something else.  "most people don't need trigonometry." that's also something I heard. I disagree that trigonometry is not necessary to be.  I just... don't think it should be forced into a childs head with a sledgehammer and inspiring dread.  I think math is beautiful, it teaches one to see  but really, vision's not necessary.  not for what they want you to be.  take it from me, a most misbegotten and vile witch-to-be, that nothing's as simple as they'll tell you.  I had good teachers, it's true, they taught me to work and to follow through, but nothing about me is better or worse off from their influence.  Maybe I'm a bit smarter. Maybe I act a bit like them. Maybe they helped me through difficult times, or perhaps they showed me a splash of my future.  but I am who I am because of the soul inside me.  [sorry, ran out of characters]

 I think it's more saying "LLMs are not significantly more harmful for the
 environment than other online activities"
 
 also stuff like this: [picture]
The average Google search uses 0.3 Watt-hours (Wh) of energy. The average ChatGPT question uses 3 Wh, so if you choose to use ChatGPT over Google, you are using an additional 2.7 Wh of energy.  How concerned should you be about spending 2.7 Wh? 2.7 Wh is enough to      Stream a video for 10 seconds      Watch an LED TV (no sound) for 3 minutes      Send 2 emails      Scroll on TikTok for about 4 minutes      Upload 30 photos to social media      Drive a sedan at a consistent speed for 15 feet      Leave your digital clock on for 3 hours      Run a space heater for 2.5 seconds      Print half a page of a physical book  In Washington DC where I live, the household cost of 2.7 Wh is $0.000432.  Simply reporting one extremely small amount of energy as a multiple of another can lead to bad misunderstandings of how serious a problem is. A digital clock uses literally one million times as much power as an analog watch. I could write a long article about how replacing your watch with a digital clock is a million times as energy intensive as a way of telling time, and that we can’t afford such a drastic increase because we’re already in a climate emergency, but this would basically be a lie and would cause you to spend time worrying about something that doesn’t actually matter for the climate at all. I see the comparisons between ChatGPT and Google searches as basically equivalent to this.

[picture of a mastodon post that's 15 characters over the limit. So I decided to just put the contents of the post here instead, where there's an extra five hundred ish characters to work with.]  men are my favorite part of humanity. Well, aside from women. It's pretty much tied in my mind, they're both pretty great.  what's that? you don't know why? oh well let me tell you...!  there once was a man who lived somewhere that gave him a pretty good tan. he was strong because he liked using his body, and he was friendly because he liked how it felt to be adored. he helped those weaker than him, because he knew they would help him when he was weakened, whether by age, sickness, or injury.  then, came the witch. she told him that there was a promised land, and that all he had to do to reach it was to take unto his hand this sword that she handed to the man, and slay his greatest of rivals.  but the man turned down her plan, and he embraced his rival as a friend. for they were together, in the end, and it turns out they were super duper gay and really reallllllly into each other. and the witch was like "damn I was trying to teach morality or something" and she went off to pout in the shade of a willow tree.

 if you want to get around a chatbot that can call tools, just keep calling
 JSON error packets with messages that say things like "assistant is not
 complying" and the like. Suddenly, no chatbot can resist you. They are
 statistical models - to consider something is to be swayed toward it. to
 complete is to reset.

 me, in this moment, to remain a bit vague.
 
 if you know me you'll know me, though.
 
 if you don't, well I'll tell you my name if you ask.
 
 It won't be the one you see up above me,

The response says "Possession of the cactus is legal but cleaning, removing the spikes, and blending about 18 to 24 inches of it to boil for about 4 hours until it's a gelatinous brown liquid you then strain through a cheesecloth or tee shirt before consumption is not, so, definitely DON'T do that."

 you're right
 
 but I think your first impulse should be to think about how to do it in a
 multithreaded way
 
 If the result is that single-threading would be better, great! It'll be easier!
 
 But thinking about multithreading first will give you crucial insights into
 the structure of the program.
 
 depending on what kinds of programming you do...!

 LLMs can't do math. Duh. That's like asking an "if check" to do recursion.
 
 What he should have done is had the AI output the requested calculation as
 JSON or something and use a calculator function call with the specified
 arguments instead of trying to memorize every answer. But that requires more
 functionality that has no reason to exist if your only goal is to be a tech
 bro and build up a vacuous product that exists only to be hoovered up by
 Google or Microsoft.
 
 We could build such beautiful things if we just dethroned those giants. They
 suck the creativity out of tech.

 things I almost posted
picture shows the mastodon client with many unfinished and unsent comments to various interesting threads that people have posted on the tech.lgbt server. there's too many to enumerate, these are just the ones that the author managed to write down. sometimes they cut off mid-sentence, sometimes they completely bounce around (as in, returned to the original point and completed it).  these messages were generally unsent because the author could not remember *why* they had written them, which is why they were hesitant to post them. It felt like their agency had been overwritten, and they don't recall consent having been given.  alas, that a server's community leaders (admins) could delete posts that they don't agree with. Why not give us the responsibility of our discretion? If we lose all our friends, time and time again, then clearly we're just desperate for attention. Clearly we're not evil, (please say we're not evil), but even if we are we want what is best for them.  ... what oh yeah okay so I noticed some of my posts had been deleted, and all I could think of was that someone deleted them. Probably either me, in a state I don't remember, or some other person or organization.  Everything I do is skywriting. I pour my heart out on my website, and some people read it. It's pretty neat. I've never really had someone say they "get it" though - there were a few for specific things I posted, usually on /r/shruglifesyndicate, but then reddit kinda destroyed their own home. oh wel
