Whops. Managed to firewall mysellf out of Eru.
Причем, мысли всю дорогу - ух, как хуево, какой пиздец, у меня совсем мало времени, все это глюк, и скоро начнёт рассыпаться навсегда, и нихуя с этим не поделаешь. Интересно, как там мое малое племя? Как @n0icz, как @kafazen, как @Chia, как @sarahquartz... Я уже с ними отсюда не свяжусь, пиздец... Хоть бы они успели укрыться, и были живы. Вот бы сделать так, чтобы с ними все было хорошо. Но хер-то там, я внутри своей головы и уже не выберусь.
Спасибо, мозг. Было прикольно, давно осознанку не посещал, но можно было без вот этой хуевой прелюдии, от которой я пересрал как вомбат на пургене? А?
@drq ты аккуратней с меншонами, а то я с утра открываю уведы - пока спросонья вдуплила полный смысл поста, пока поднялась к исходному посту в треде... так и обосраться недолго, по нашим-то временам :D
i hope that if the brits ever decide to get rid of the monarchy, they find a better name for their nation than "the United Republic"
What’s next for Jensen Huang?
@chockenberry 78 billion dollar alimony.
@bleeptrack @jack I do! I think if I had to start over I'd do push-up and pull-ups.

And if you feel adventurous, handstands!!

Either way, the goal is so have fun, so if you find something that feels especially nice, build from that. I love that you're interested in starting on calisthenics!
To China hawks who say "but China will backdoor their models" I say who the fuck cares. Let them.
I know these LLMs seem scary bc of the propaganda but the CS Theory nerds are BOTH cracking the energy cost of training AND inspection of models.
Yes, lots of caveats apply BUT imo this wave of local models are getting analyzed enough I think we will have many vetted local models one day regardless of origin.
This research is still very very early but its extremely promising.
Weight space programming is something LLM hackers have actually been doing by hand and with various open tools for years now but only recently got a fitting term and refined process.
A huge insight is that this is basically as efficient a programming technique as almost anyother coding. We can surgically tweak a few circuits without model training or fine tuning.
Are we relieved to know that Microsoft's massive outage isn't due to hacking, but rather incompetence?
@dangillmor 60 000 people fired + vibe coding. Predictable I will say. When the c level will understand that experience and competency beat stochastic parots trained on entry level code? Probably never.

Eigentlich waere es ne Story fuer die Klatschpresse, aber wenn der CEO einer der maechtigsten Firmen mit einer chinesischen Spionin verkehrt & ihre Forderungen auch dem US-Praesidenten uebermittelt... uiuiui, das hatte ich so nicht auf meiner Bingo-Karte!

Don't Christie, CEO of locally owned and surprisingly ethical data center Catalyst, has some good things to say in here, about Aotearoa NZ's self-harming dependence on a handful of big tech vendors across all sectors, arguing we need a shift to open source:
"[...] if the government were to be more strategic about how it adopts digital technologies, we would find a much richer base of our digital platforms, which potentially make us less prone to problems in the future."

Infrastructure is so often a story of eggs and baskets, whereby some have far too many.
It's hard to avoid mentioning that the self-hosted equivs to Teams/365/Outlook I look after are down for no more than an hour a year. This is not unique. It's the same for many others I know, from fellow sysadmins to my own students. It's a fairytale that self-hosted infrastructure is unreliable. Simply not the case when built up with best practices, maintained with sufficient knowledge & care.

@eduo fíjate que el epazote a mi no me gusta con mis frijoles!
@Migueldeicaza Mi suegra no perdona que no se lo ponga . Yo nunca lo he distinguido en el sabor.

==== Sunday, November 22 2026 ====
all day starting 10:00 – #PDP-12 #hackathon
The PDP-12 is a laboratory computer introduced by #Digital Equipment Corporation (#DEC) in 1969. Only few dozen remain in existence today. Datorföreningen Update owns a PDP-12 called "Elsa", but it stopped working. You can read more about it in Update's newsletter Uptime 8 2023 (in Swedish).
https://wiki.dfupdate.se/_media/uptime:uptime-8-2023.pdf
In this hackathon, we will try to bring Elsa back to working condition. We will flip switches, read schematic diagrams, swap circuit boards, and observe signals. If this sounds intimidating, don't worry, we will learn from each other as we go. Everybody is welcome to participate, regardless of previous knowledge. Join us in this quest to bring Elsa back to live!
Drop in whenever you like. Food plans will be made spontaneously.
I felt a great disturbance in the workforce, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced.
@anemone @CursedSilicon Could you add alt text?
@sabrinkmann @Floppy Two directions I know of. If a hosted service is fine, something like Sentry. For self-hosting, SigNoz is the only F/OSS option I know with easy OpenTelemetry ingestion; I don't know what else is out there. It has a paid cloud version too.
I think Sentry used to have an F/OSS edition. I'm not sure it still exists, or whether it accepts OTLP though.
@hongminhee @sabrinkmann thank you!
I just saw a creator credit at the end of an AI meme video and I was so confused. That’s like signing your name on a Google search results page.
@carnage4life Unless the name was "R. Mutt"?
