The world's leading expert on European wasps walks into a record shop.
He asks the assistant “Do you have ‘European Vespidae Acoustics Volume 2? I believe it was released this week.”
“Certainly,” replies the assistant. “Would you like to listen before you buy it?”
"That would be wonderful," says the expert, and puts on a pair of headphones.
He listens for a few moments and says to the assistant, “I'm terribly sorry, but I am the world's leading expert on European wasps and this is not accurate at all. I don't recognize any of those sounds. Are you sure this is the correct recording?”
The assistant checks the turntable, and replies that it is indeed European Vespidae Acoustics Volume 2. The assistant apologizes and lifts the needle onto the next track.
Again the expert listens for a few moments and then says to the assistant, "No, this just can't be right! I've been an expert in this field for 43 years and I still don't recognize any of these sounds."
The assistant apologizes again and lifts the needle to the next track.
The expert throws off the headphones as soon as it starts playing and is fuming with rage.
"This is outrageous false advertising! I am the world's leading expert on European wasps and no European wasp has ever made a sound like the ones on this record!"
The manager of the shop overhears the commotion and walks over.
"What seems to be the problem, sir?"
"This is an outrage! I am the world's leading expert on European wasps. Nobody knows more about them than I do. There is no way in hell that the sounds on that record were made by European wasps!"
The manager glances down and notices the problem instantly.
"I'm terribly sorry, sir. It appears we've been playing you the bee side."

this is your daily reminder to not be ashamed of making your life easy for yourself.
cut your food into small pieces, make the font size 30 on your e book, use straws to drink, get a pen that’s comfortable to hold, take more naps, walk slowly, buy velcro shoes, re-watch the part you couldn’t understand the first time, write things on your hands so you don’t forget it… whatever you want and/or need
don’t let anyone tell you how you should be doing things. we don’t need to prove each other anything

If anyone wants to do it for me I'd be appreciative >:P #AI #LLM

Bluh, I wish I had time to fuss with details of model conversion and stuff. I'm trying to see how small a model I could get to do function calling. Tried messing with dolphin-phi but it's a bit too dumb. There's this "adapter" over it that's tuned for function calling, but it's in the `safetensors` format whereas I need it to be in GGUF. 🤷
Woot. Getting my work/life balance back in shape and more meaningfully scheduling what I'm going to work on. Spending some time to orient myself is paying off. Honestly I'm glad to be a sapient being able to introspect and self guide.

It’s fucked how the word "crutch" has turned into this negative thing, like it means the same as "excuse."
For a lot of people, actual crutches are what help them get around and live their lives.
We shouldn't use words in ways that make people feel bad for needing help.

"Car makers told to ditch distracting touchscreens: Safety body will penalize models that don't have simple button controls"
Glad this nonsense stops, haptic feedback for the win.
Sacrificed my night to the productivity gods. The output is the beginnings of the "ipti" CLI which is a tool for authoring / reading #IPLD databases based on my impl of the Prolly Tree spec.
It's not ready for release yet but this will make it easier to integrate into pipelines with bash or other languages without having to touch golang directly.
Indexer library here: https://github.com/RangerMauve/ipld-prolly-indexer
Note I don't have a standard for replicating over the network so it currently reads/writes CAR files
I'm back! Instance ran out of space 4 days ago and I managed to recover from it again. :P Every time it's like "will this be when my database is fully corrupted?" and so far on attempt #4 I'm still recovering.
Set up some automation and a failsafe that can free up a bit of data on the volume in case I run out again. See you in a few months when I run out again. 😂
Tried debugging some issues by disabling my ad blocker and youtube is absolutely unusable without it.
Just non stop unskippable ads.

https://www.endatabas.com/ is a pretty interesting new database: immutable, time travel queries, schemaless (it supports JSON-style nested documents) but queryable via SQL. More notes here:
5 hours into playing Cloudpunk and I accidentally figured out I could access the world map the whole time and could see more than just the minimap to navigate 😝
Sadly despits my willpowers insistance on working late yet another night my body and mind refuse to focus on code.
High key I think corporate advertising is one of the biggest plagues on humanity in the last 100 years. A lot of the awful AI shit we're seeing stems from it as well as a lot of the shady data collection.
I feel it'd be for the collective consciousness if this concept were banned entirely or at least stunted to the point it's not commercially viable.
