Anarcho-socialist halfling crafting a better world through code & making. Builder of web things, recovering YC founder, and perpetual tinkerer.

Currently exploring the intersection of #solarpunk ideals & #tech. When not coding in #golang or #python, you'll find me deep in #photography, #scalemodeling, or #3dprinting projects.

Past lives: gaming industry, poker tech, ecommerce. Present mission: building sustainable solutions.

Buying a 35 y/o car was a great, completely impractical, idea. Really scratching an itch having a manual that handles well again. Also scratching a completely different itch diagnosing what it needs and tinkering on it.

This is an incredible endorsement for Zohran Mamdani.

Look both criminal sexual assaulters are against him.

AI is some amazing shit now.

It's amazing in potential.

It's shit in reality. It's not broadly applicable, but it's trying to be. It has some wide use cases (simple) that work great.

Meanwhile we're just outsourcing brains to it for simple decisions and learning, using 10x+ the energy and landing maybe 1.1x the productivity in the best cases.

I use it everyday, sometimes it's helpful. I see it completely changing our way of life towards the positive, but it's nowhere near that now.

AWS support fees are criminal. What kind of bullshit is percentage of your bill? What do you mean it costs way more because I already pay you more than other people?
Giving up YouTube, Google too evil
It's so weird that Google doesn't want feedback
Imagine what it would be like if a single tv network actually delivered on what people wanted?
Mike flood for example. Either he's exceptionally stupid, or deluded. Either way the man has no business governing
We need to start shooting republican legislators on sight. They are actively destroying democracy, lying to your face and taking away your rights. They're currently trying to make sure elections can't happen or are rigged for 2026. We are way past calling officials.

So, our current LLMs "AI" are kind of terrible. They're very impressive in capabilities, but the use pattern is not aligned with what they can do.

Generally people are going to get massive hallucination or lies for all their queries.

They make assumptions, piles of them. It's a good way to operate in general, but it falls apart when it doesn't tell you about them and just gives you answers based on nothing you actually input.
