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. 😅

All software should work offline or when the server is down with whatever data you have cached locally. Serving from cache for dynamic requests should have been the default on the web instead of everything breaking down.

So I wrote a blog post on LLM performance. It was focused on SWE-Bench and discussed why performance is topping out.

As part of the post I pulled down gigs of runs from the SWE-Bench S3 bucket and went through several of the harder test cases. I focused on improvements in the last six months. Primarily on Opus.

Regrettably I’m probably not moving forward on that post. Why? Because after going through the data I found that the LLMs are cheating on the tests. And that’s a whole different thing.

Imagining if we set aside .1% of all the money being spent to make AIs that write bad software to compensate all the open-source developers who write good software

My matrix server is down and so are its bridges. Now I have to access my chats app by app like some sort of peasant. 😿

I’m curious about the ground reality here.
How much person-to-person recruiting to Mastodon is actually happening?
No judgment in this — I’m just trying to understand the landscape a bit better. Boosts help widen the sample. Ran out of room for more options... Perhaps one option should be for anyone who encourages folks to leave this space, not just to join it (in pursuit of the small is beautiful concept, perhaps). #BuildTheFediverse

Question: How many people have you brought into Mastodon?

Woof. That baromatric pressure drop has some kick to it.

Same thing with LLMs. This is just the information equivalent of leaded gasoline. You can get ahead locally by generating some plausible bullshit that convinces someone to send funds your way, and then when the truth slaps down the ideas, someone else faces the consequences.

The solution is to end bosses and hierarchy and make decision making and benefits and consequences matter

I haven't been doing random tinkering as much since moving in with my partners and on one hand I'm less "productive" but on the other hand I'm not sitting alone in the dark in front of the computer all day/night.

Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible:
it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables
—at half the cost of fossil fuels.
The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere
—if governments have the courage to change the rules.
For Ramon Méndez Galain,
the energy transition isn’t just about climate
—it’s about economics.
Uruguay’s shift to renewables, he argues,
demonstrated that clean energy can be cheaper, more stable, and create more jobs than fossil fuels.
Once the country adjusted the playing field that had long favored oil and gas,
renewables outperformed on every front:
halving costs,
creating 50,000 jobs,
and protecting the economy from price shocks.
