Reminder that the meeting scheduling badness of the time zone delta between Europe and North America being off by one hour started today will last for three weeks this time.

"I hate cache misses"
I've been into egregious usages of enoji lately. I think it's part of my natural urge to cringemax. This is one of my faves lately: 👉😎👈
Womp womp, still can't get tensorflow-rocm to work on my machine 🤷 IT's unfortunate that it's hard to get GPU acceleration working with AMD for tensorflow 😿

De-google-ify Internet
Amazing campaign by the French not-for-profit association Framasoft.
The De-google-ify Internet project offers 26 ethical and alternative online tools that may be used by everyone.
They build open source alternatives to many Google services like Youtube, Agenda, Docs, Forms, Maps etc, as well other services to replace Doodle, Facebook Event, Github, Zoom, Slack and much more!
Check their beautiful website, watch the videos to know more about their work and follow them here in Mastodon:

Dang, videogame graphics these days are hardcore. I remember being more than satisfied with DOOM back in the day and now each leaf and pebble looks realistic with fancy lighting effects everywhere.
Playing Dragon Age Veilguard and the "fantasy name per sentance" density is pretty high 🤪 It's like every other sentance they have to namedrop somebody.
@brandon Have you messed with Qubes OS? I've been considering setting a machine up with it to see how it goes.
@brandon Yeah focusing on containers is a reasonable approach. I usually lean the opposite and try to be as close to the metal as possible with as few dependencies or little sophistication I can get away with. Usually just to speed up boostrapping on raw machines with limited configuration. Fish is neat! I've just pimped my bash to be less painful :P
I think I'm warming up to using local LLMs for helping me code. I don't trust them for large scale code generation but it's started saving me some time in looking up syntax and docs via DuckDuckGo. I still need to look up docs for most of the work I do but not so much for common use cases you'd find on stack overflow.
@villares Neat. For sandboxes I like to use JupyterLite in browsers to skip having to install anything natively.
The second last layer was set to relu which messed everything up.
@carlos Sweet, thanks for the link!
Lmao, re-running an neural network training thing I did a month ago and it's no longer able to train a working model. Not even sure what changed 🤷

Over the past month, I've been doing my best to de-mega-corp my tech ecosystem.
My conclusion: unless you are a skilled tech nerd with money and are willing and able to do it, it's basically impossible to not be exploited by your tech.
Tech's current state is abusive in all the worst ways, and frankly it should be illegal.
Tech professionals should be ashamed by what we have wrought.
#python tips for folks getting started.
Don't use the system-level python as that can update and break dependencies. E.g. Arch uses 3.13 if you update and Tensorflow can't go above 3.12.
Use pyenv to do version management per project. https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv
Don't install pip dependencies globally. Use virtualenv to set up dependencies per project. https://virtualenv.pypa.io/
Python versioning is rough out of the box and these tips can save you some pain.
@lucid00.com Another group you might like is this VrChat Biosensing discord which uses EEG signals to control avatars. I think even though the corpos overhyped there's still some hope in us actually having access to interoperable spatial computing tools on the future
