@Alison I've seen consultants double rates for fixing slop vs rebuilding from scratch.
@roknrol I wonder how many skills are just called shit like "superpowers" or "make money now" 🤪
Apparently "decentralized" means "centralized censorship with extra steps"
@roknrol I feel like even for those, it'd be as easy to find it for free on github as it would to find the marketplace in the first place. Maybe the LLMs themselves are easy to sucker into that?
What sort of asshole actually goes on an "ai skills marketplace" and spends money there?
Fuck daylight savings time!
@SemAntiKast Big mood 🫂 Defs depends on the venue too. I still hope some day most places will migrate to gender neutral individual stalls instead of gender segregated rooms.
Party I went to was more about consumerism and watching than it was about dancing. Unfortunate.

AI vs algorithms
Yes, an 8 Terabyte AI on a hyperscale data center can now solve a sudoku.
But so can a 16KB Gameboy with the right algorithm.

Finding a toilet while non binary is a humiliation ritual where you have to pick a gender. On the other hand you can swap to the other gender if the one you picked is too crowded. 🤔

it took a while, but the bash script i wrote to find the most popular article category on wikipedia by curling every single article has finally finished. no i don't know what a "database dump" is. i can now reveal that the most popular category by far is 429 Too Many Requests

More "boring" service providers who are content with a modest profit margin and slow organic growth, please. I don't even care if the UI looks "dated" and new features take a long time to be built. Traditional boring bare metal, only add new customers when you have capacity to support it, whatever.
A company of 50+ year old tech veterans who have been laid off and left behind from age discrimination just looking to keep the bills paid until retirement.
Run it like a co-op, like a little credit union that isn't looking to expand quickly, just serve their little niche of the community.

@django I'm not sure actually. They're the "goblin" translations after the guy that did it. https://languagehat.com/the-goblin-version/
@brandon It's also the gift I have to remember how to give every time a power outage wipes the settings 🤪
The russian parody translation of the Lord of the Rings trilogy is still the best version IMO
I hate to admit it but the Apple UI ecosystem seesm to be the most coherent one even though I despise the new "Liquid Ass" design they've pushed out. At least I don't need to think about three competing standard ui toolkits and a bunch of one off ones that are all a pain in the ass to style the same way. 🤪
@suricrasia It's a pokemon march of futility
