In the Starfleet Technical Manual, there is a throwaway detail of the LCARS user interface that when it is upgraded, users can still utilize the previous several versions. This is because their work is mission-critical and it is unacceptable to compromise the mission by forcing unfamiliar changes; eventual retraining is part of their job, but the flexibility allows them to take the retraining at their own pace.

I think about this from time-to-time and how this is still a sci-fi idea that is seen all too rarely in how we do actual computer UIs.

What's cool about is a server could auto delete posts by sending delete activities to all known servers while keeping the original private and letting the owner keep their memories.

@munin That's a really good point.

I'm hoping nothing works out however they want to entice their "butlers". 😎👉👉

@munin I think right now the goal is to effect changes in mood and thought patterns rather than allowing the recipients to access computers. At least the most sussy parts. This seems more geared for implanting into "butlers" or "workers" with empowerment being a veil for the advertisements

@munin right now they're doing trials in cou tries with less medical oversight so they can specifically target the language center of the brain which is spooky. I don't think they demand a long lifespan from those implanted. At least at this stage.

@munin I think the neuralink is the fallback and it's a lot further along

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. proloring.com/products/prolo-r

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.

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.

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
