@happyborg That's awesome! Do send me a link next time you come accros it.

I think for my terminal my goal is to make it minimal and easy to navigate along side the other apps I use on my desktop. If it's particularly fancy then I probably failed my design goals. :P

I'm also gonna add a text editor to it which is literally just a <textarea> with the contents. Then if I want any fancier editing I can open up the devtools and write code for it there.

Longer term it might be cool to integrate language models for auto complete in there

It's super janky so far but here's the code: github.com/RangerMauve/shell-c

Gonna add "command history" and opening multiple windows.

Also gonna wire up the agregore theme API to it for customization. :P

Sadly I am a munch better coder than this local AI. :/ Unsure of the commercial cloud ones are better than me or close enough to me to be useful.

Gonna make a new shell / terminal emulator that behaves more like graphical text interfaces. Kinda tired of having to rewire my muscle memory between the terminal and GUIs. I want `ctrl+z` to do an undo when I'm typing text instead of whatever arcane shortcut bash uses.

As part of this experiment I will try to rely on a local called OpenHermes 2.5 Mistral 7B instead of duckduckgo as much as is practical. Though I think I need to tune it with the repos I usually refer to for code.

finally touching my computer after not using it for a week.

going to try to do a little bit of coding for fun before I get back into work mode.

using this track as a way to get back in the zone: soundcloud.com/vlindervos/op-d

How bad are the thousands of new stochastically-generated websites?
Last night I wanted to roast some hazelnuts, and I could not remember the temperature I used last time. So I searched on DuckDuckGo. Every website that I could find was machine-generated with different temps listed. One site had three separate methods listed that were essentially differently worded versions of the same thing. With different temperatures.

So I pulled my copy of Rodale’s Basic Natural Foods Cookbook off the shelf and looked it up there.

I think it may be time to download an archive copy of the 2022 Wikipedia before we lose all of our reference material. It was nice having all the world’s knowledge at my fingertips for a couple of decades, but that time seems to be past.

[ Edit: Since others have mentioned the possibility, I should mention that some of these sites may have been SEO-generated/altered and not generated by an LLM. However, even if that is the case, the fact that the sites are as bad as and indistinguishable from LLM-generated sites means to me they are just as bad and just as likely to be have only a loose resemblance to reality. There are many ways to be a fancy stochastic parrot. ]

Ugh 😤 ip command is the most significant change in Linux since they deprecated the ifconfig, a standard command on unix-like systems such as macOS, freebsd, and others. Check out my ip command guide cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-ip-com for more info.

@stablehorde_generator @atax1a it's amazing seeing all these pop up on my feed 🤟

Don’t accept the chauvinistic tradition that labels our era the age of mammals. This is the age of arthropods.They outnumber us by any criterion – by species, by individuals, by prospects for evolutionary continuation.

@Gurre

OMG it's smaller than an amoeba!

I'm screaming!!

They lay their eggs inside of the eggs of 1-2mm long crop pests.

And... read the article to see what the males are like... they are even smaller somehow, but it's ... disturbing.

@jonny I was playing multiplayer stardew valley with my partners and I couldn't stop thinking about how they must have had to refactor to a client server model and how that would explain certain bugs. I think I wanted to read the source code more than I've felt hunger or other human urges in ages.

Finding a new job is not going to be easy, after six years of corporate bullshit I just can't anymore. If you need a very experienced Kotlin/Android dev, but don't do any AI/Blockchain/Tracking/Ad stuff let me know.

Rest is fun but I'm high key getting the urge to code. >:)

Usually this time of year I'd be alone since everyone would be off doing family stuff. This year I get to spend it with two of my partners and also get to take a whole week off work. The contrast feels almost decadent. 😅
