Plenty of people is blaming "AI" in the abstract for the recent RAM price spikes, but I haven't seen anybody around here point to the actual and direct culprit of it all: Sam Altman secretly bought 40% of silicon wafers (not even produced RAM, just the silicon wafers) from two of the biggest RAM manufacturers, at the same time. Not even with specific plans for what kind of RAM do with them. This is just to mess up with competitors.
Seriously, you can't hate OpenAI enough.

19. this mouse thing is also interesting. It's expensive for what it is but I could see it complementing my twiddler for navigation while I type. https://proloring.com/products/prolo-ring-pro-edition

Went to the movie theater and I really don't miss these unskippable ads blasting at full volume. 😵

Given current ongoing situation there really should be a movement for more domestic software development and a wider boycott of data exporting to America.
Boo hoo hoo, I want some fancy instant noodles but I am all out and the grocery store is closed. Booo hooooo. 😭

You know that little M$ registry tutorial to turn off Copilot that was floating around some time ago?
My laptop battery before the registry change - fully depleted from 100% right before the 90 minute mark 🪫
My laptop battery after the registry change - only dropped 15% from 100% after 90 minutes unplugged🔋
Edit - h/t @theashtonstarr, the policy in the tutorial is marked as depreciated.
It's been a week after I made the change, but I plan to keep tracking 🔋 usage to rule out coincidences.

Okay, well....first of all every year is the Year of Linux Desktop if you are a massive nerd.
So jot that down.
Managed to get my LLM to rephrase some boilerplate code but now I kinda want to refactor it to have less boilerplate. Should be easy with my new JSDoc powers
Looking for loopholes in this replication code to try to force them to send over their bitfields 🤓
@nasser Maybe someone noticed it on Open Street Maps and fixed it. :o Are there diffs?
@munin Upper / middle management seems to be the biggest users :P

You know, I think that the LLM bros have it backwards.
Which, yes, so many things. But especially about usage.
See, if someone uses LLMs a lot, then there's really no need for -them- to be in the org at all; you can dike them out of the situation and leave the LLM instance "contributing" the same as they would.
So ideally, you should fire all the headcount that makes extensive use of LLMs and replace it with diversity of talent that does NOT use them, to give you the largest possible skills pool.
It's only logical.

@0xabad1dea Does Silicon Valley understand consent?
@sivy in a pinch you can also link to text fragments these days. We shouldn't need to go through all this hassle.
@sivy I have a "reader mode" in my browser that applies it so users of the browser can share those links. 😅 I also add ids in any static site generators of course.

The fact that opening a Mastadon link can send you to a Bluesky link, which sends you a paywalled subtack post is abusive
