The popular understanding of enshittification gets things precisely backwards. It's not that digital platform startups set out to make valuable services for consumers, but end up making changes that tilt the balance toward exploitation. Rather, exploitation was the destination from the very start, and user satisfaction was a means of scaling up the pool of exploitable users. Enshittification is planned, not inevitable.

> An agent has no such learning ability. At least not out of the box. It will continue making the same errors over and over again. Depending on the training data it might also come up with glorious new interpolations of different errors.

This is the main thing that I find annoying about LLMs tbh.

Resisting the urge to get more gadgets :P Some people spend all their money on fancy cars or resort vacations. I spend it on food and the odd gizmo.

I live not too far from a school and can sometimes hear them screeching during their recess break. Not a fan of the distraction but their lung capacity is impressive. 🙃

1. assume every camera has film unless you personally verify otherwise
2. never point a camera at something you're not willing to photograph
3. never put your finger on the shutter button until you're ready to take a photograph
4. always be aware of the subject of your photograph and what is behind the subject

Fool's spring really got my hopes up again this year and dashed them extra hard with this cold weather. When will I learn. 🥲

If we're entering neo-feudalism then people in power should get back to having duels to the death to preserve their honor. It's only fair

I wonder if billionaires watch bugs life with their family and empathize with the grasshoppers. "See kids, this is why we need to keep them down"

Humans are actually pretty big if you think from the perspective of God's chosen creatures: beetles.

@lvk I think culture has changed since then. Some of the stuff that came out back then really hasn't aged well 😅

Hot take: I feel like media from the 2000s (e.g. anime) holds up better than stuff from the 80s did in the 00s. Maybe it's just my age bracket though?

22. Now that I have my setup with tge Khadas Edge 2, I kinda want to get a small screen for it for the times that I don't want to wear a screen on my face. Apparently the touch screen works on Linux?

On the Apollo missions the computers were very complex but limited. The onboard memory, rope core memory, had to be cleared manually from the last preserved bytes (b-last). This was referred to as " blasting ropes"

Anyone else immediately turned off when a project uses linkedin style biz-speak? "$Project_Name turns context into execution." just makes me want to run away as fast as I can.
