@tychi cool! Interesting use of object listeners :o
@tychi :O May I see your code?

typical dev: i'm gonna wire it up. dynamo db to ec2 to lambdas to nextjs to react to redux to graphql, and it'll only cost me $30+/mo to host this website
me: *living in the walls of michaelsoft, publishing web apps that cost nothing to run and nothing to use, because github forgot that github pages exists*

Attention Citizens:
The concept of "time off" is misleading.
What you think of as leisure is, in fact, mandatory recreation for overall increased productivity.
Failure to achieve maximum relaxation during relaxation hours is considered treasonous laziness.
Thank you for your compulsory leisure.

Did a presentation yesterday about the LLM stuff I've been doing in Agregore at a meetup focused on indigenous usage of AI and local training/inference.
I think it's helped me clarify some of the "why" on this work internally so I'm gonna work on a blog about it.
@GayDeceiver There should be more gusto around prison labour taking all the jobs instead TBH. Can't compete with slavery and the incentives to turn more people into prisoners to further erode the job market. 🤪

dear software developers,
no, the opposite of "yes" was not, is not and never will be "ask me later".
sincerely fuck you
open for a jump scare
@dumpsterqueer User agents aren't just turning complete these days the're straight up passing the turing test 😱

Had a dream I was interviewing to work at google and they locked me in a room with five other people for a week and only one of us was going to be allowed forward. They had neat vr glasses though which was cool.

Be suspicious of anything that requires a cloud service to operate where the server software is not self-hostable. Especially one that costs over $1000 dollarydoos.
@dade Very good strategy! I love "future me" hacks like this. Do you have a task list to facilitate this or is it just your regular issue trackers on projects?
Imma see how I can incorporate it in my routines too 🙇
@m455 the energy drinks help too :P
The reason that I can be effective at work while being ADHD is that I am very vulnerable to nerd sniping and I happen to be constantly nerd sniped into solving work related tasks :P
@garbados I generally only use text ones because for images I prefer making them myself or commissioning artists that I know personally. I think some folks have fun with image generators but I'm not a fan of them being used commercially.
@garbados Mostly been using local LLMs like Qwen2.5-coder. Have been adjacent to folks using the cloud based models but I haven't used them myself.
I'm not a fan of the closed source models but IMO the open ones can be useful for folks. e.g. I know of folks working on grant writing for indigenous folks and I think they can be handy for offline knowledge bases for coding/chatting. I'm not a fan of the ways in which capitalism is feeding and weaponizing the tech and the high energy usage
I run into trouble every time I try to use generative AI for something other than generating a vague outline or summarizing some content or translating from some text to another format of text. I just don't think it'll save us from doing the thinking and processing stuff that humans are best suited for. Else you'd spend more time trying to direct it than you would doing it yourself (assuming you could do it yourself I guess?) outside a few small tasks.
Maybe that's a good thing though?

Ok, a question for #database #dbms nerds. Many years ago I worked on a join order optimizer that used a heuristic formula to estimate the number of rows produced by an equijoin, based on the number of rows in the two tables being joined and the number of distinct values in the join keys. This formula came from an academic paper, but I can't remember what the formula was or find the paper. Does this ring a bell for anyone? Boosts appreciated...
