I seem to be still too stupid to get things running with IPv6.

I create things in a wonderful place called the internet and sail boats on a lake between three countries.
Turns out that it's still off occasionally and if you walk through the various app your signal passes through (dns, container engine, web server, ...) you might stumble about the one or other where you have to enable IPv6 explicitly (e.g. podman networks).

Just thinking while waiting: When I need 7 square meters of solar panels to generate the power I’d get from 1 barrel of oil … I could just continue producing electricity with the panel when that amount is reached – while the barrel of oil is gone.

Emily 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️My biggest problem with the concept of LLMs, even if they weren’t a giant plagiarism laundering machine and disaster for the environment, is that they introduce so much unpredictability into computing. I became a professional computer toucher because they do exactly what you tell them to. Not always what you wanted, but exactly what you asked for.
LLMs turn that upside down. They turn a very autistic do-what-you-say, say-what-you-mean commmunication style with the machine into a neurotypical conversation talking around the issue, but never directly addressing the substance of problem.
In any conversation I have with a person, I’m modeling their understanding of the topic at hand, trying to tailor my communication style to their needs. The same applies to programming languages and frameworks. If you work with a language the way its author intended it goes a lot easier.
But LLMs don’t have an understanding of the conversation. There is no intent. It’s just a mostly-likely-next-word generator on steroids. You’re trying to give directions to a lossily compressed copy of the entire works of human writing. There is no mind to model, and no predictability to the output.
If I wanted to spend my time communicating in a superficial, neurotypical style my autistic ass certainly wouldn’t have gone into computering. LLMs are the final act of the finance bros and capitalists wrestling modern technology away from the technically literate proletariat who built it.
