There's a belief that if you can't see the exact path forward, that no path is possible, and that's just not accurate and not how the world has ever worked. The way forward is almost never known in detail. But getting the compass heading right matters a lot.

If you're #trans and feeling lonely, repost this.

If you are an ally and care about trans people, repost this.

You may be feeling lonely. But, you're not alone.

One of the delights of working in Higher Education is rubbing shoulders with brilliant researchers.

Today was a long day, but I'm fortunate to only work late when a particularly interesting problem is being solved.

I'll share more with y'all when my peers go public with the very cool things they are up to.

I, a programmer, am not afraid of #vibecoding because I'm afraid a chatbot will take my job. I'm afraid of vibe coding for the same reason that a licensed electrician who moonlights as a firefighter is afraid of homeowners who do their own electrical work.

@zrail @homelab I consider myself ProxMox curious, but I've already paid the cost to learn Podman (and Docker), so I'm not sure I'll ever get around to running ProxMox.

But I may revisit, if I find the right use case.

@webology yes. Prompts are one more meta-language that the machine can (kind of, usually) understand.

And that is good.

Lots of the rest of the things about how we've built it is bad.

But that part is nice. It provides access to even more humans to tell the machines what we want.

OK, that works... Quite impressed with @jlc3dp

The PCB with LEDs to go inside is expected tomorrow.

Update: Someone asked me if this image was real, not AI, or proof of concept: FFS, it is a real photograph I took of a real 3D print!

And yes, I am mastodon only now, so bloody well boost 🙂 thanks. Yes, thank you.

P.S. never expected "bloody well boost" to work. Extra cool. Thanks all.

@elasticsoul @pluralistic Bets that the seniors start not signing off on code they aren't positive really works, with vague comments like "Overly complex, please simplify." or "Insufficient error checking. Please improve."?

As predicted, humans are being turned into accountability sinks for #AI. AI code doesn’t work? You're fired!
