@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... huh, do they not do ruby characters for those typically (pronunciation guide above the character, called "furigana" for japanese) or is it just that would be even more complicated typography and they didn't want to push it
i really do dislike the society-wide assumption that the best way to keep children safe is to grant parents more and more power over their lives, which is one that totally disregards the utter commonality of abusive treatment of children by parents, guardians, and other authority figures
one thing the rsync thing is revealing is that the whole “rely on the sense of responsibility of some clever guys from decades ago” model of open source software maintenance is crumbling under load, and some people are seeing LLMs as an out
@nprofile1q... because of course, the cost of recycling or even disposing the plastic is not charged to the people who are making it. that's Someone Else's Problem, and the way they frame the problem of recycling plastic makes it _your_ problem! as though i choose to live in a world where plastic is the packaging material for half of everything, and my throwing it into the trash is because i hate the environment
Tokenmaxxing. Tokenmaxxing 🤣 amazing stuff.

@nprofile1q... truly someone has forgotten that what you get is what you measure -- i'd be willing to bet it is easy as fuck to maximize your token use if you don't give a shit about anything else

"but what about the heat from the intensive computations in the CPUs and GPUs? that's a lot of heat!"
doesn't matter. it literally cannot be more heat than is coming in, because the energy all comes ...
@nprofile1q... indeed the problem isn't "you can't possibly, physically do this" but "there is no way in hell this could be even faintly economical" which is, of course, a different problem

it's hilarious how a very small number of people have been in my mentions trying to argue that actually vibecoding is the future of programming, the next iteration of abstraction...
bruh, you only think that because you don't give a shit. you're not doing coding at a higher level of abstraction, that would require abstraction to even occur. you're asking a fancy markov chain to output slop in the shape of a program and calling it work.
and it's only even taken on because so many programmers don't give a shit about producing code with 6 finger hands and almost-legible letters. it compiles and doesn't immediately crash, don't it?

the thing that frustrates me watching this iran bombing happen is that of _course_ this isn't being done with any concern for the iranian people. for a brief moment that was the pretense. but then they've been bombing, and bombing, and bombing, pretty much everyone in what appears to be a blatant attempt to prevent any sort of peace. because america cares not for the wellbeing of people here or there, it lusts for blood.

you ever experience a power outage that only takes out one phase?
all the two phase devices (oven, HVAC, etc) either don't work or only partly work. some rooms are powered. some are dead. the apartment's hallways are only lit in half of the building. it's so damned weird.

@nprofile1q... the shocking part is where they did it. a fuckup could've resulted in a plane crashing into this insignificant little city called *checks notes* Washington DC.
@nprofile1q... i am impressed at how a certain someone showed up, evading a block, in the replies of this post... about them losing a business partner for that _exact_ behavior
Hey, @nprofile1q...! It's really disappointing to hear you decided to sponsor Hyprland! It's all well and good sponsoring popular Linux software, but do your due dilegence: Hyprland is run by a transphobic asshole who has been ejected from Freedesktop.org over repeated code of conduct violations, and has continued to be wildly toxic in the time since.
I don't know if you can back out of that sponsorship now, but whatever you can do, you have to do better.
