@lzg that’s the promise of generative AI isn’t it? Robots emailing each other with SEO optimised prose, occasionally popping a dialogue to ask whether you’d like to act on any of it.
This toot brought to you by me sending a message about wing shitting.
My phone knows me well enough that it now autocorrects suit to shit pretty consistently, even within words like suiting.
Step to write software by human:
1. Decide what you want your software to do (medium)
2. Decide what you REALLY want your software to do in all the corner cases (very HARD)
3. Write the code (Easy to Medium)
4. Test the code (Medium)
5. Debug the code (hard to very HARD).
Now, thanks to ChatGPT, you could improve this workflow by:
- making step 3, the only easy step, somewhat easier (and thus hiring less competent engineers)
- making step 5 nearly Impossible.
@thamesynne I decided I wasn’t going to use it until I stood up my own instance, which I’ve been on since doing so.
The Steam update logic baffles me. One of the < 100MB updates on this Steam Deck was scheduled to run on the 22nd, what possible reason is there to do that?
@jankmammal your mission is now to find them and put something more interesting on it.
@pikesley @moraghickman @Sinjo I was going to do a suit with EL wire running through it for this one but it got lost in the madness of everything else. (Also autocorrect nearly had me post that as shit rather than suit, which would have been a very different vibe)
@pikesley @moraghickman @Sinjo I really need to sort out some more fabulous clothes for next time. I’m a lifelong jeans and t-shirt guy, time to diversify a bit as I enter my 40s.
@james I have my sleep profile setup with a different Home Screen and even just hiding the icons for some apps makes a big difference for me.
@doop I’m still processing it all, really need to sit down and write a blog post about it because this year really was something else. My faith in humanity has been restored, and for the first time in years I feel some hope that maybe the future might be ok.
@herdingdata oh I love that it’s named after the Roci! Not sure what we’ve have done without your rescue service charging around the place pulling vehicles out.
Enjoying the post EMF game where I repeatedly test to work out whether the extreme fatigue, muscle ache, and warmth is covid or a week of not enough sleep, physical exertion, and mild sunburn.
Y’all know that you don’t have to do cookie consents if you don’t try to track users in ways that are creepy, right?
Like a better internet is possible? 🫥
@herdingdata I was chatting to a kid who had their 18th birthday on the Sunday who posited that maybe one day EMF would go away not because it had died but because the whole world would already be that and it would no longer be needed. I think I’m a little too jaded to truly believe that but I would be so happy if that happened.
@andrew @moraghickman extremely strong agree, it really tied everything together. It’ll be remaining as my desktop wallpaper for some time to come.
@pikesley I’m currently on the way home, despite several coffees, a bottle of Mate, and a Coke Zero today I’m fighting off falling asleep so I don’t miss my station.
@sophiegarrett EMF is the best workout I get. A week of walking 10k a day, healthy food, and then a rigorous upper body workout taking down kilometres of fencing.
If you are the person who abandoned a tent full of crap at EMF: We are going to find you.
You have enraged a group of people who enjoy puzzles and suddenly have a lot of free time.
Run.
@andrew there seems to be something in my eye. Beautifully summarised why we do this ridiculous thing.
I once saw someone post on Twitter about a tiny camping festival for nerds, impulse bought tickets from the back of a car, and found my people in doing so.
12 years later it has escalated wildly, and I got share it with my son, who wasn’t even born in 2012. He was in tears last night, because he too has found his people, and is distraught that it will be over so soon, and it’s two years until the next one.
@jonathanhogg I had an explore of the site last night, you’ve done an amazing job with the installations! Everywhere I look there’s another delightful surprise with a little plaque next to it.
