Now that I have my own place and can vibe more easily I'm getting back into science and math youtube.

i really misses it tbh. Main change tbh has been that I finally installed newpipe on the tv to avoid the brain draining ads youtube shoves in my brain.

every month I yearn for getting a degree of some sort. 💀

@simon I'm on a steam deck and the speed is actually great!

@simon Quality of results. The same query on the ggml model via LLM vs the raw model on replicate has vastly different results. It feels like the replicate instance is more stable and has less jitter? I feel like the parameters for max tokens and heat might be the culprit.

Our capitalist rulers, and the politicians they own, are playing the long game. Since the 1950s they have been working steadily to shift the Overton window, to reduce the influence of labor unions, to boost consumerism, and to concentrate wealth and power in the hands of a few.

A large part of that strategy involves privatizing services that used to be (and should be) public.

They're playing the long game, and they are winning — much to the detriment of you and me and the environment we live in.

@simon Any clue why your tool with gpt4all's ggml-replit-code-v1-3b would perform worse than this replicate demo?

Is there a need to tweak the parameters for the model somewhere maybe?

Fucks me up when I read a blog post or article or something and it makes my cpu/gpu go grazy with some rabdom js rendering thing which is totally unnecessary to the actual content 💀💀💀💀

*goes to the new patreon dot com main front page*
[it immediately makes the browser use 50% of my CPU]
this is a lot of CPU for a web page. web developers, are you all right? is this a cry for help, sent through the distributed medium of computer fans suddenly spinning up to cope with the sudden spike? should we comb through the HTML for hints as to where the hostages are?

everything keeps getting worse. websites designed by people on brand new macbooks who aren't running anything except a text editor and 1 chrome tab. if it doesn't peg a core then it must be good to go

man. the new github code view is laggy jank too. browsing code on github used to take the occasional manual step to search for a symbol i guess, but now the whole experience sucks constantly and the symbol lookup doesn't work anyway

“we can’t find any good candidates for this role” you’re auto-rejecting people with 20 years experience because they don’t have a degree and then AI-sorting the rest by how Jared their name is

5,000 games are available for PICO-8 on itch.io alone.

If this number is accurate, that means PICO-8 has a bigger game library than the NES. And that also means the PICO-8’s library is competitive with the Commodore 64’s library—which is also huge.

This is incredible considering that few people have ever owned a PICO-8 console. But now I want one.

Hey folks! I'll be doing an AMA about and how it works with the on discord in about three hours.

Today I found out that google docs infects html exports with spyware, no scripts, but links in your document are replaced with invisible google tracking redirects. I was using their software because a friend wanted me to work with him on a google doc, he is a pretty big fan of their software, but we were both somehow absolutely shocked that they would go that far.

One thing Anna doesn't lack is ambition:

"A year ago, we set out to answer this question: What percentage of books have been permanently preserved by shadow libraries?

[...]

"And ideally we don’t just have a number, but actual metadata. Then we can not only match them against shadow libraries, but also create a TODO list of remaining books to preserve! We could even start dreaming of a crowdsourced effort to go down this TODO list.

@mark22k @cblgh yeah I'm guessing it's on the todo list after this gets stable. They'd need to rearchitect with having a blockstore and dag-pb/UnixFS impl rather than a single http get which is a lot more to ask in a PR. I think starting small and building a relationship with the project was the right move.

@cwebber@octodon.social omg yeah cloudflare in particular might be a problem sooner than later. As soon as the VCs start demanding increased profit rather than pure growth the shit will hit the fan and have rippling consequences accross the web.

Feeling really good this week. Got my living stuff figured out. Tying up some stuff in my work life. Social connections going strong and finding cadances there. Very thankful to be out of the hole.

Total student loan debt that would have been erased for millions of Americans: $400 billion

Total cost of the Trump tax cuts that largely benefited the wealthy and corporations: $1.9 trillion

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
