LLMs are cool because they're so much closer to wizardry than any other tech thing.

Like, this really feels like communing with a demon.
OMG I love the new Goat Simulator game!

Posting a screenshot for anyone who does not want to go to the bird site. and yes, this hits harder than I was prepared for too. Original post https://mastodon.social/@joncamfield/109820785741700309
I love having a wide monitor because I can have like a dozen windows open and spread out spatially so I can refer to a bunch of things at once.
I'm excited for a future when I can do this in 3D space and get even more flexibility.
@cautionarytale@mastodon.world Whenever I can. :P Though I'd prefer to not need any servers in the first place. Self hosting is generally a pain in the butt and takes up a lot of energy if it works at all.

i think one technology that may get bosses out of the loop would be #p2p -ish collaboration tools. inside the firm this may bring down control and information flow down from management and to in between the endpoints, maximizing the use of local knowledge. but it can go beyond firm boundaries: working directly with customers, suppliers, competitors would potentially be just as easily.
I'm excited to attend #DecentSocial on the 11th to talk to folks about decentralized social networks.
In particular I'm excited to infodump about #p2p #databases and how they can be used to bridge #ActivityStreams into serverless contexts.
The thing where Twitter is destroying their API and breaking a bunch of third party apps is that the same thing can happen with any API at any time.
All these fancy Discord based bots are vulnerable to breaking any day and your entire community being left stranded.
User and developer agency is important for any sense of longevity and people should get serious about where their points of failure are.
@dietrich Is this so you can turn people asking to fix a bug without providing info about the bug into a wojak? 😛
@ArneBab Yeah! Also it would be easier for kids in school to find time and energy to pick it up compared to learning it as an adult.
I think I know a bunch of parents that learned "baby sign language" when having kids to make it easier to communicate to babies while they get their spoken skills up.
Been meaning to go to ASL classes, but it's so hard to find time and money for it these days.
@leichtgewicht Neat. I had a class on that as part of highschool. Really useful skills in general IMO
@makeworld "but I found myself eating dinner or napping instead of being productive with nobody the wiser." amazing

@camiloh I really appreciate that more apps are being made responsive enough to handle mobile since I like to have most things sized to around that width so I can see more on my screen at once
@NanoRaptor OMG why don't micro SD cards get painted to look like little floppy disks?!

Well, that didn't take long. We're starting to see almost-believable autogenerated text being used so spam our issue tracker.
There's a legitimate chance that ChatGPT and their ilk are going to kill participatory open source. How can you keep any forums open to the public, when anyone can just pour an arbitrary amount of generated garbage into them?
How do you tell a smart but green contributor who's still learning the language from a thousand bots spewing averacitous trash?
Learning new dynamics and social norms is hard. But it's worth it to enable collaboration.
@Coyote @cuaxolotl @Moon @ademan Generally I run an ipfs-cluster set and pin data there. Gonna be looking into making it work better with mutable datasets and IPNS.
Honestly might be easier to just go with a blockstore and libp2p and skip the garbage collector and pinning stuff entirely.
