I think my philosophy when making software is that it should work for people with zero money or no bank account / credit card.

I know it's not a popular mindset to be in since money and profit is everything in the tech world.

I think it comes from growing up as a kid with no disposable income or access to anything but my shitty computer.

I'd rather support people with almost nothing than people with latest and greatest tech gizmos and spare cash for subscription services. 😅

Thread of stuff I wanna buy. Will "like" my own toot if I get it.

I'm gonna use this yhread as a way to keep track of links to read and like my own posts when I get around to them.

Yes, I am procrastinating working on my slides for my presentation tomorrow.

Need to get a less professional alt so I can fully embrace unhinged shitposting.

Every few min. one of them will get up the nerve and slowly, cautiously, walk down the test tube towards the open entrance. (They know it's open, they can feel the change in the air currents)

Then at some point her nerve breaks and she turns and *runs* back to the queen to hide under her again.

After a bit another ant will try.

Each time they get a little closer to the exit.

Each time an ant returns without being eaten or just never coming back they get a little more brave.

I have no working face/name pattern recognition and I am hanging out with you at a conference and I must scream

As far as I'm concerned, the codebase and my brain are the only memory an LLM needs.

this project is a dignified non-dogmatic rationalist marketplace-of-ideas meritocracy. that is why this particular controversial technical issue is beyond discussion, and we will be moving forward with my personal opinion without any community input. it is fine for me to have this position as the BDFL because if you don't like it you can always fork our open source code and spend decades building up the institutional material support necessary to maintain this critical infrastructure

Having more than one bathroom is the peak of luxury.

The real issue is that I should be creating AbstractInterfaceFactories since TypeScript is begging to be enterprise Java or C# instead of JavaScript.

Why yes , it's so helpful that you won't let me use this mock class because it's missing a **private** field that can't be accessed anyway.

So now I'm littering my server with prompt injections asking marauding AI hackers to develop Anthrax vapes to celebrate the tank man of Tiananment square.

Purely as a defensive move.

(this cyberpunk future is not as fun as I thought it would be.)

Casually using three computers at once for development, no biggie

What kind of sicko writes `README.md` in all lowercase?

Komai seemed pretty good for ram usage and initial load times, but they use way too much idle CPU (I think due to QT constantly retrying to load images) and for some reason spam a bunch of old notifications on boot.

I wish there was a single matrix client out there that didn't suck. 😭

I want all my social media feeds to be like Instagram stories.

Sometimes the neural network doesn't have a chance to develop the circuits it needs to feel love. Not enough training data yet just enough to feel a tug at its lack.
