@hoppet Wow, that was a close call NGL

i want the default computing experience to be 90s anime tech aesthetics.
i want to go to my friend's house and they're like "look at this thing" and i take a peek at their computer and i'm just like "what the fuck even is this" as they shlunk a 12-disk array into a matching set of disk slots and type a bunch of commands to boot up a program with a UI like nothing i have ever seen in my life
and the program is just like. a basic chat client. but like, the coolest basic chat client you've ever seen

in the future, basically all websites will be full of unblockable ads and/or implemented entirely in ultra-fucked webassembly/opengl, and the tech-savvy will browse the web entirely through cat & mouse proxy servers running headless browsers to OCR the inaccessible content back into old-fashioned normal HTML and illegally redistribute it through peer-to-peer networks
@trevorflowers Greg Egan has a lot of nice books that are one-shots.
@efi should have some stuff for the reader side in september in #DistributedPress
@nix ty! I think I've zlowed down the damage significantly but I just need to heal up the damage that has already been done.
@mostaurelius should the alt text include stuff like the elephant and the little watermark in the corner?
So far I think it'd be easier for me to search stuff up and write code myself than use these large language models. :P
@simon That's fair. For what it's worth I've been having decent luck with orca mini. I'll need to do some postprocessing to fetch just the code blocks out of responses though.
BTW! Sent in a PR to fix a bug when trying to run a gpt4all model offline. https://github.com/simonw/llm-gpt4all/pull/9
@am@decept.org oh yeah, the gamest of gamers. I play at least one hour a week. 😎😎😎 or maybe at most? 😅
@simon Wow, yeah this works great! The orca mini model especially has a lot of bang for your buck.
Thanks for making this!
@simon It works! The ggml-replit model is having trouble with this fib function and got confused generatting error handling code. :P Are there any gpt4all things that are good with code completion? Or do they also need special treatment for how to prompt them?
@deniseyu Might need to wait another week cause it's sold out everywhere 😭
Amassing a small mob to see the barbie movie tomorrow. Kinda hard to coordinate a bunch of adults with schedules. Even harder to bridge the gap between discord gamers and instagram artsy folks. :P
@simon Does this work on the linux version of homebrew too?

Turns out that Web Environment Integrity proposal everybody is getting angry about (imo very legitimately) was effectively already shipped by Apple in Safari last year: https://httptoolkit.com/blog/apple-private-access-tokens-attestation/
That means if Chromium ships it too, we could quickly move to 90%+ of browser traffic being attested. Not good!
@nix I think the mouse was the worst of it, but the keyboarding wasn't great either. 😅
Also I think phone screen typing has been rough on my thumbs
Politics, capitalism, unions
Cool take I found on tiktok: Instead of just fighting to increase minimum wage, #unions should fight to decrease maximum wage that executives can be paid.

I think moderation on large social media would be easier if reading wasopen but writing was limited to being connected through some number of hops on the social graph by default. So much BS in "the comments section" is from randos that just had the algo show them a post and have no social context.
Maybe they can comment but only their friends should see it by default?
