Tried getting https://aider.chat/ to generate a commit message using gemma2:2b and it was grossly verbose with loads of useless text.
Might be worth it to try different models to see which ones suck the least.

Writing static HTML like it's 1994.
(Well ok, with jinja2, so not really)

Something no one talks about enough:
CPU cycles aren't free.
Memory reads and writes aren't free.
That shit takes power. A miniscule amount per instance, yes, but it adds up quick if it's from an app that everyone uses constantly. All that power comes from somewhere, and right now that's mostly fossil fuels.
When people complain about software bloat, it's not just a UX problem, it's an environmental one too.
@jonny I've mostly been reading the source code of @VeilidNetwork and @n0iroh and filling in my gaps on syntax as I go. The error messages in rustc have been pretty handy (except when they're not :P )

I wish vector search as a thing would die, or return to the back seat and let traditional indexing things have the first shot.
"oh but vector search is great because it clusters similar concepts!"
Yeah you know what concepts are similar? Different names, different model numbers for things, things that are related to _but different from_ what I searched for.
If I search for "morgan", a result for "morton" is a bad result. If I search for "atari ste", a result for the atari falcon is bad.
@jonny Honestly the code is pretty yucky RN since I'm in "meet the deadlines" mode

It'd be cool if there was an approach of using "visual embeddings" applied to facial recognition. One could teach their personal agent a face by telling it to read the facial embedding and when encountering people the facial embeddings could be pulled from a regular vector DB instead of trying to train a new recognizer on the face. Probs easier to share data that way too.
@jeremy_list Good point I could probably wrap it in a macro to map the option and flatten it all.
@jeremy_list In this case each layer has a different meaning it's basically Didn't Time Out ( Stream still Open ( IO read didn't fail (Bytes)))
@jonny Maybe, i just have different errors I need to send for each level. I'm wrapping a read from a channel of io results in a timeout.
This week's #Rust type of the day is `Result<Option<Result<Bytes>>>`
Cat health issues, mild
Gotta give my cat an inhaler cause she's having respritory trouble. 😭 Apparently the one used fot human babies should be enough
@trevorflowers at least in the many worlds interpretation they still exist just out of reach

I don’t want a computer with adverts in the task bar or menu, on which I can’t run my own software freely and easily, or which I can’t repair myself.
I don’t want an eReader which snitches on my reading, or which can remove my books.
I don’t want to use a proprietary third party service and app for my dishwasher.
I don’t want a car which can be controlled remotely via someone else’s servers.
Disappointed that the "temporary moon" asteroid coming for the next couple months is less than 40 feet in diameter and won't even be visible. 😫
@ShadowJonathan i think I'm paying like 15 or 20 for mine rn 💀 that shit is a storage hog

Hackers showed me (there's video) how a website vulnerability let them locate, unlock, honk the horn, start ignition of any of millions Kias in seconds, just by reading a car's license plate.
They found similar bugs for a dozen carmakers over the last two years.
