"They only think about one thing, and it's disgusting."

I'm not talking about sex. I'm talking about rent. And the people who see the world through the rent-seeking lens.

Someone, ideally everyone needs to pay tithes to them, they reason. And not for some ongoing service. Not because of any value they create, but because of value they hold. Value that can never be bought and paid off in full. A nation or king might collect tax, why not me they reason.

Starting my first day working on with Awana Digital.

Gonna be responsible for making the p2p and data side of things reliable and to help develop and deploy features for folks in the field. 🥰

Bring back full size scrollbars!

I hate scrolling long pages with a wheel, and trying to target the 5 pixel wide draggable in modern browsers on modern Windows.

Here are the slides for my presentation. Gonna share the recording later this week.

Overall it went okay and I got to show off my ignorance and how I've been slowly learning how to do this stuff. 🤪

Move over "Millenial pause", we've got the "AI assistant processing delay".

@spiralganglion Hell yeah. Excited to see what you make with it. Back when WASM was still just coming out after ASM.js I did a deep dive to figure out how to do basic things like loops and if statements with WAT. I hadn't done any ASM before so it was a bit of a mindfuck.

@spiralganglion Are you aiming to write it at the WAT level or a hex editor? :o

I'm going to be talking about autoencoders and some intuition I learned trying to make a simple model.

I didn't expect "using a Torrenting client to seed US government scientific datasets because the policy settings are erasing years of research" on my 2025 bingo card but here we are.

You wouldn't download America's scientific research output would you?

Are all those resin dodads going to be our geological era's equivalent to amber?

Fediblock lists are fun and all but I wanna dig around in postgres and see who's in my follow graph poisoning the noosphere. Secure Scuttlebutt was great because I could see exactly how assholes would get access to my whereabouts. 🤷

I'm thankful for the snow cleaning folks when I have to brave the roads but it's hard to stay positive when they're hauling snow at 3 am 🥲

My little spatial curve model is up to over 3k dense neurons with six hidden layers. It takes me 10 mins to run 300 epocs and I think I might triple that now that I've started messing with different learning rates.

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'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 😿

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.
