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.

Survived the travel. My poor body has been trying its best

changed my speech based computer control to buffer until I say "execute" and it's been a lot nicer to use as a result. Before I would constantly interrupt the inference if I took too long of a pause and caused cache misses and general confusion. The STT is still a bit shit and misses the start of sentences sometimes. 😅

Fancy people brands like gucci look so uninspired and tacky to me

Uuugh. I need a better battery for my friggen cyberdeck. This one seems to have an off by one error on the most significant bit in its battery life calculation.

I was thinking of adding some images but I think I'll focus on text descriptions instead so blind readers get the picture and sighted folks can just click through on the links to the product pages.

Gotta stay awake an extra 10 hours this cycle and push back the sleep phase. Taking this time to write some code and work on my blog post for my cyberdeck.

Off by one error for my plane ticket back 😜

So pumped for the new goat simulator DLC!

In the age of LLMs all data is easier to mine and turn into databases. In particular any private notes you swnd to a cloud service. Before even if yhey read your messages, it was way more work toake them usable. Now it's just a number of dollars and cranks of the slop machine.

The main question seems to be about our use of LLMs in our development process. Main concern is with liability and ownership with code.

We're finally having our "AI policy" discussion at work. It's neat because we have a wide range of opinions. Especially neat given we're an org focused on environmental conservation.
