Exploring new kinds of tofu. Focusing on shelf life

What really bothers me is that most of the crises and difficulties people suffer from are entirely artificial and preventable. We literally have enough food, water, building materials, energy, and other essential goods in the world that everyone would be able to live a life of dignity.

But like, by sheer political choice that is just not the case. And that like, actually makes me quite upset.

"The cost of living crisis" is entirely artificial. It's not like there isn't enough food or housing to go around. It is primarily a distribution problem.

Like, do you ever think about this too? Doesn't it upset you as well?

Pre mass media writing is so interesting. The visuals and the thought structures are untainted by hollywood

@lvk I'm an eternal proponent of non human readable cryptographic keys and social graph based name search and verification. 😅

@zachleat Unironically it'd be cool if this was a thing and user editable 😝

Ultimately, someone has their hand on the plug. The question is how many people, and how far do you need to go to replace whatever function pulling the plug destroyed.

We can't have meaningful decentralization when identity is tightly coupled with a specific always online server accessible on the internet. Even if you self host (which most won't).

I mean this in the most loving way possible but Linus Tech Tips reminds me of a World of Warcraft goblin.

@3timeslazy I mostly use qwen2.5-coder:7b_Q4

I've managed to get decent results with the 3b_Q4 model too but it's more likely to mess up as my text gets larger.

I have a lil tool I made for quickly spitting out some code for me.

I've been using my local LLM more for formatting text that I used to do manually or via besoke AST transform scripts. Stuff like "convert this jsdoc to typebox" or "take that function but add conditions for these other variable names". It's handy to save me time while I work on other stuff.

What I'm realizing is that I like typed languages, I'm just not a fan of half measures slapped on top of untyped languages.

@mcr314 I gave up choosing years ago and just go with whatever autoformatter is most popular in the moment :P

@cblgh In this case they are classical musicians and there was some discussion about which clef is underrated. One was like "Alto clef is best because it means (some instrument I don't remember) doesn't have to (some term I don't remember but it has to do with reading the notes)"

Spent some time yapping with my musician friends about the holy wars programmers have around tabs vs spaces and where to put indentation.
Seems every community has a similar set of very divisive but benign sounding ongoing "debates".

Any folks with experience in hardening windows? Someone wants to automate it. Send me a DM if interested.

Love been in spaces where I'm not the most visibly queer person in the room 🥰
