@evan @DemocracyMattersALot wtf dude. Uncool? The dude rapes children.
@JenniferSkullface it is kind of uncool of @DemocracyMattersALot to give people hope like this.

Whenever I feel like I have failed in my work life and I could have progressed higher up the ladder if I'd been a bit more ambitious and pushed myself a little harder I remind myself that I'm the same age as Liz Truss so things have turned out ok for me really
Did I make the hives start or nah?
I'm trying to capture "the tone"
@futurebird you nailed it! And that's no small feat; you really got both the tone and the substance, flawlessly, where countless others have failed. You're a natural, clearly.

when i say something was possibly "caused by AI", i don't mean LLMs hallucinating or agents going rogue or whatever. i mean that it was caused by bad practices implemented thanks to AI psychosis in management. this can include laying off knowledgeable staff, pushing to prod without a thorough review, "build build build" etc. these are **human** problems.

The news that there's an oversupply of Nvidia GPUs convinced me that the AI bubble is bursting and it'll burst *hard*. So here's a thread where I go over the financial, technological and hardware implications of this. Strap in because this is going to be long and probably a bit rambling too. 🧵 1/
Here is an observation about writing software that may be so general as to be incomprehensible.
When you go from having one of a thing to having two of a thing, it is easier and possibly even more readable to just duplicate the thing instead of creating a generalized system that can handle N things.
Once you get to having three of a thing, it is better in all ways to simply have a generalized system that can handle N things.
But you don't *do* this when N reaches 3. You wait until N reaches 4
Knowing *what* to generalize is an art.
If you generalize the wrong things too soon, you potentially make the generalizations that matter that much harder.
I won't go quite so far as to say, "premature generalization is the root of all evil," but it's up there.

It simply can't be done.
@lowqualityfacts So, my high school years taking Latin were wasted.
@FedeRinaldi83 wonderful to hear! mine is fully functional and was my main laptop till last year (when I got an Air M4). It's just that I was totally creeped out by this article and I want to have a Linux alternative: https://8rank.ai/game/apple-intelligence-personal-knowledge-graph
@_elena Okay, seriously creepy! I've done some testing, and yeah, it's definitely true. It looks like everything's staying local, but it's still terrifying. We're just getting more as a product. I've got all Linux machines and only one Mac that I use for work, but it's unsettling, for real

Not sure what the issue is, and I don't exactly have the capacity to figure it out now, but my 6 year old fiddle leaf fig is biting the dust.
Got a couple cuttings that I'm trying to propagate, seems to be going well so far 🤞🏻
Sad to start over but at least this time I'll know how to manage its habit as it grows!
@robin My guess is gophers. We have lost quite a few young trees that way in our yard--even with gopher cages! They just wait for the roots to extend past the cage and then chow down.
We've resorted to raised containers for our latest attempt.

You are a product.
Which adjective should be used to promote you?
(pick most important one)
@mcnado When it's important, I leave extra early so that I'll be there on time even if there's traffic.
This vote was more important than anything I have ever done in my entire life. It was literally a matter of life and death.
@jbayes @mcnado Precisely so! I had a medical procedure scheduled in downtown DC early in the morning (for me!) and we made reservations at a nearby hotel so that we wouldn't risk running into traffic driving in from Virginia. Turns out my procedure was cancelled, but that's how we handle things that are important! Make sure (as best we can) that we will have NO obstacles in the way of getting there on time.

The November 2026 edition of the #Owncast newsletter is out! In this issue, we have a frank discussion abut financial support in FOSS projects and have a good look at the Old Timey Computer Show (https://otcs.minuspoint.com/)
Sometimes I forget a word, or a name, and I'm really worried, I'm worried about getting old, I'm worried about losing what makes me sharp and accurate, I'm worried about losing what makes me me. I worry about losing an accurate sense of the universe.
Earlier today I forgot Brendan Eich's name and had to look it up. And that one moment, during which I couldn't remember Brendan Eich's name, was kind of pleasant, like cool water when you've been baking in the sun
@mcc Decades ago now my gf was searching for something in her apartment. And when I asked her what she was looking for, she said, "I can't remember what it's called in English or in Japanese. But in German it's fingerhut."
I said, "That's thimble. And I don't know where it is."
Both of us English natives ...
I wish you all a goodnight.
