@marcoarment Don’t ask an LLM a factual question that you can’t test!

Some of you like my rant posts.

This one is about slippery tiles.

Rubenerd: A message to outdoor tile stakeholders

Tiles get wet. How is this news!?

A friend of mine who as late as January was a *massive* LLM spruiker just messaged me some doubts. As always, it was something generated about something where he had specific domain knowledge, and it was wrong, and his words, β€œdangerous”.

Increasingly seeing this as the tail end of hype cycle for a lot of people.

happy pi day (halfway through the orbital circumference around the sun)
Went for a photo break after an early start. Just getting outside before it gets hot (35Β° Celsius). πŸ“·

Welp, samba to our home server stopped working. Getting protocol incompatibility errors.

Guess I'm doing some troubleshooting tonight.

I love how disabling DRM at the browser level makes the entire internet better because it can't load bad corporate videos that I never wanted to watch in the first place

Hey you. You like to include everybody, right?

Did you know that 10% of the world lives in the southern hemisphere, where it isn't summer?

40% of the world lives in the tropics, where they don't even really have summer – they have wet and dry seasons.

Please stop naming things after the seasons.

(Don't apologise, to me anyway. I find this more amusing than annoying. And I enjoy reminding people that the rest of the world exists.)

I know it's a bit of a meme, but truly, if you enjoy something, the worst thing you can do is join that thing's subreddit.

There's a 10% chance you'll find something new and interesting, and a 100% chance that you'll experience more nit-picking from people who don't seem to like the thing at all.

Well this should be fun…
