@futurebird @tetron @gregeganSF has a great plot point related to it where the main character manipulates probabilities. I forget which story it was but I think it's in The Best of Greg Egan or maybe in Sleep and the Soul.
@mcc I have a feeling that even if you try to delete yourself it won't actually remove your data from training at this point

I've said it before and you guys have ridiculed me for it (with the exception of a notable audience that wholeheartedly agrees)
Scrap the past 20 years of tech everything. All this flat bullshit UI design that's impossible to figure out how to use. Stupid touchscreen phones with no buttons or keyboards, and this nightmarish "mobile first" disaster that makes everything gross and terrible. Internet- and cloud-connected everything that's a safety and privacy nightmare. Hardware that's designed first and foremost with a scheduled obsoletion philosophy and artificially makes perfectly adequate equipment run like dirt.
Let's go back to Palm pilots, phones with actual buttons, Classic Mac OS, plain HTML with very little javascript, tape drives and manual backups, and finally have some sanity again.
@yosh Ah! In this case the learned lesson was more about how rust passes by value by default and we were accidentally cloning state and needed to wrap it in a mutex to be able to actually mutate the one value.
This week's #Rust lesson was to wrap mutable bits of state in `Arc<Mutex<>>` otherwise you may encounter issues with data not persisting even though you think you've got mutable references to it.

I unfortunately am not at all skilled in hardware design or development, but more than anything I just wish someone would put out a digital ring or smartwatch that could act as a personal wearable datastore, that could auto sync with other devices over bluetooth as a disk. I just can't believe we aren't walking around with 512gb local-syncing watches on our wrists. 😢
Lmao I Element really likes to make me suffer with weird bugs. Somehow the latest update manages to freeze my browser and then OOM when it tries to do some sort logic after initial load. Clearing cache didn't fix it either so I guess I just have no way of answer work messages in the middle of this major crunch
Now that Rust have given me predictable and easy to use destructors via the Drop trait I kinda wish I had them everywhere :x
@liaizon @snarfed.org That's my main reason for using the fediverse tbh. If only I could mix my instagram and tiktok follow graph into this thing too 😅

The @snarfed.org bridge is one of the coolest things about the fediverse right now. It is amazing to me that more people aren't talking about it. It shows so much potential for the future of the open web. I want to see a 1000 bridges to a 1000 different networks bloom.
@liaizon I am so thankful my instance is low value enough to be the targer of such things 😅
@alilly why is it touching the clipboard at all? 🫠

One of the strongest arguments for right-to-repair (that no one wants to make) is that as the supply chain collapses, maintaining all the technology in our possession becomes exponentially more important. Parts must be interchangeable, accessible, and open for this to really work at all.
LMAO I think I just literally used magic to make this networking code work. 🤪

Yep, the Chrome team is now reaching into your machine to remove your browser extensions. Don't want them to? Tough noogies.
🙃
That's not your browser.
That's not your web.

It’s fascinating to see just how fast the web could be if it wasn't burdened by images and millions of lines of Javascript. Check out CNN's "lite" web site.
I added a thing to my window manager to show me the current moon phase so I could be more aware of the moon in general. It's pretty wild that it's floating up there while we join it on its rotation around the sun.
My cats are just too cute. It's amazing how effortlessly they make my heart weep from joy just by seeing them sleeping in the sun.
