"Do I hear the pitter patter of tiny feet?"

That's right. I tied a badger to your desk.

Open source isn't perfect, but I really appreciate having the option to contribute a fix for bugs when I run into trouble.

I can't even imagine having to rely on proprietary APIs for everything anymore. 😱

you know how when somebody says "the cloud" it actually means "other people's computers"? and how "the economy" really means "rich people's yachts"?

in a similar way, when a company's marketing department says their product is "the first of its kind" - it almost always means either:

1. "we don't know enough about this field to know that somebody created a working solution 30-50 years ago"

or

2. "our competition has already done this but we're willing to bet you don't know that"

Last year, we began an effort to get a #TFLite model running on a VIM3 NPU using Etnaviv & #OpenCL. Our goal? Getting a machine learning workload running on a fully open-source/upstream solution. Here's the latest: openfir.st/mletnv #OpenSource #TensorFlow

'openai' is a fun name … what part is open exactly?

Apparently MSFT gets 75% of OpenAI profits until it recoups $10B… is this why they say OpenAI is a non profit?

So… to recap. Not open. Not a non profit.

Cool cool. #openai #chatgpt

Dear fediverse, please send me documentation to setup either apache or ngnix as a TLS terminating proxy so that I can serve a.domain.com and b.domain.com on the same IP.

Thanks!

How am I working myself to the point when I don't have time to meet all my needs but at the same time don't have enough money to afford an assistant or some sort of housekeeping. 😭

Who needs sex when you have peer to peer databases?

Ah you see, it's a `raw` block of data instead of a `file`. *That's* why it can't copy it. It's obviously to so meaningfully different that it should error out. Yup. Great. Gotta love computers. 🙃

When people hire me to do consulting for p2p, it's not because I'm particularly smart. The APIs are usually really hard to work with and I've just spent many hours at this point smashing my face on the keyboard trying to figure out why it's saying "example.txt is not a file" when it very clearly is.

Is anyone using their as their main machine? I was thinking about it and I think it'd be useful to just have a doc for it and have it replace my Intel NUC.

Honestly, the headset is super exciting to me. It's a shame that it likely won't be usable from Linux devices for a while to come.

Especially if / interfaces ever become a thing. It'd be easier to be able to move the "post new toot" screen somewhere different than then "view my timeline" screen in physical space.
