Je trouve que gris sur blanc c’est BEAUCOUP mieux que “tout blanc” pour mon petit Voyager, et c’est moins salissant. ✨

Peut-être que j’achèterai les 2 touches 1.5U pour le cluster des pouces mais j’aime bien ce côté uniforme aussi !

Unfortunately, I fear that it's easy to see why LLMs became popular: getting anywhere in our currently arranged society requires us all to generate unreasonably large quantities of what is, frankly, total crap.

GitHub could place an ad anywhere on the page -- this seems unnecessarily intrusive and user-hostile. Not to mention gross. #OpenSource #GitHub

More and more devs are *forced* to use LLMs for work, because it's more productive, and lots of other reasons. Where I currently work, they measure "adoption" and other metrics, which reminded me of Steve Yegge in a recent Pragmatic Engineer podcast: he was saying that now, burning tokens proves that you're working.

On the other hand, I know quite a few devs who still enjoy programming, but no longer at work.

There is no such thing as an " alpha " in a wolf pack. An early study that coined the term "alpha wolf" had only observed unrelated adult wolves living in captivity. In the wild, wolf packs operate like families: parents are in charge until the young grow up and start their own families, and younger wolves do not overthrow an "alpha" to become the new leader. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_misconceptions_about_science,_technology,_and_mathematics#Mammals

If you feed somebody's posts into your shitty LLM without an explicit and reversible opt-in, you are violating the consent of fedi users.

This "Zeitgeist" app not only violates consent, but it also doesn't have a centralized ActivityPub identity that can be blocked or defederated.
