Sneak peek at my slides: hyper://blog.mauve.moe/slides/llm-lenses/#1
Making our handbook more accessible to people with screen readers also means making it more accessible to our bot. It doesn't have eyes yet so capturing diagram structure in captions is essential.
Gonna be presenting my Tonal Lenses talk at tonights #AITinkerers meetup in #Ottawa
Hopefully it'll be recorded so I can share it here after

which is why am going back to one of my hills: software developers are artisans, some are even artists.
software developers and engineers are part of the creative classes; and by default, the working classes.
it’s why they need, more than ever, to have their consciousness raised and radicalized 😉

I woke up the other morning and discovered that during my sleep I had transformed into a monstrous bug.
Here's what it taught me about B2B sales:
Damb I want that solar power cloak that they had at CES 😍

I want to publicly announce a change in my thinking. For many years I have promoted non-profits, especially foundations as a good way to keep FOSS (Free and Open Source) projects protected and effective.
Not any more.
I am now leaning towards coops as the better vehicle. The cooperative approach allows for better distribution of power to those that do the work where foundations typically concentrate power on those with the money. This might become a long thread that'll take some time.

Has anyone from Lemmy or Friendica written up a FEP for !group@instance.tld format? Would be nice to acknowledge this more as an integral part of the fediverse and get other software that support groups able to do something with these mentions the same way that @username@instance.tld is handled.
9. I saw this in the past but the new wearable setup makes it a lot more appealing to my use case. Might getone eventually and see if it helps with the eternal hand pain more :P

After all of the infosec chatter about how you probably don't need a VPN, age verification has made PornHub block access in most Southern states and TikTok's about to block US IPs. We are entering a new age of internet censorship and you might need a non-shady VPN.
I wonder if solar panels could be feasibly built by a society that had no access to oil and internal combustion. Seems like a useful skip if possible.
It's even more fun when the instance out is me and then I have to decide when in my schedule I'm gonna fit in fixing postgres. 🤪
Wild seeing instance outages in real time from this side of the bridge
My glasses chain broke and I feel so naked without it.
For anyone curious, here's the published example app. Set up ollama and Agregore and you're good to go!

I'm getting a lot of mileage out of the "strange and esoteric" filter.
Might just make it a permanent addition. Can't be too much slower than the average ad blocker free page load.

Facebook and misinformation.
@CyberpunkLibrarian Social media is so funny cus like, they somehow managed to trick users into writing all the content for them, now they want us to be the mods? What's next, we're supposed to host the site too? Actually, come think of it, that's just Mastodon...
Getting output data out of an LLM outside of raw chat interfaces is like scooping water with a leaky bucket. You need to plug more and more holes and add extra buckets to catch the spills. Structured JSON can help for a lot of cases but it makes the text generation less capable.
Fun example in the app I made for it. The message the LLM actually interpreted can be seen when you mouse over. I should find a name for a simulation of the experience of being misunderstood.
