  1. I know I am old and cranky, but to me one of the wierd fails of mastodon is that so many assert that AI (LLMs, not ML) simply don't work

    I don't know how often an AI will just hallucinate something, but here is an example where the AI summary is excellent and the underlying article from vox is paywalled and this is why Google is destroying what is left of "news"

  2. I figured out why I'm turning into a cranky old broad: . From dental floss to cheese, every single goddamn package of anything I buy is impossible to open.

  3. I'm all the more liking this truth. It's got lots more polish on it now. And it'll do metric too now:

    (0, "1Ω"): "0Ω",
    (12, "1ns"): "12ns",
    (9879, "1nH"): "9.87µH",
    (654654, "1µs"): "654ms",

    Am I old enough now to play the role of a cranky elder beating some one drum too loud?

  5. Bad Day at the Office review – gratuitously entertaining Go-Pro thriller is like Crank meets The Hangover | Movies

    This ludicrous, rabid thriller, shot largely on first-person GoPros, is like Peep Show on PCP. The cumulative effect…

  7. secret operations

    • vault/openbao: too complicated
    • vaultwarden + bitwarden: often have to update plugins, cli is poorly done, unofficial backend
    • sops+age encryption: useful, but tricky when multi-machine and no sync process and auto-unlock of key material
    • 1password: useful, but app has a thicc ass and really don't want to have to build this

    after a while you try all these different solutions to solve one of your own problems. in this case having a cross-platform/multi-machine secrets/key material airgap/netgap was important to me for #security posture especially when running #kubernetes and various #linux and #freebsd machines

    we live in an age ($current_year) where if you have a strong engineering foundation and some time you can crank out something specific to your usecase without having to fallback on opinionated architecture and/or systems.

    crank up the #ai #llm and start something new today. i did, it's called sigil. want the saus? nope. not giving it up. if you're reading this you likely have your own money. go spend it.

  8. I've never been one to sign up for #arXiv daily emails or skim the recent postings. I just look up people I know, a paper someone cited, etc. I decided to take a look at a couple #math subjects and things are looking bad. There was always some junk, to be sure. Sometimes a #crank would manage an #MIT affiliation and post a "proof" of the #Collatz conjecture or someone would vouch for a kid in high school, for whatever misguided reason. Now though, we've just got people posting papers with only a #gmail address, no affiliation, and an section that basically reads "corpo #AI #LLM chatbot 5000 is my best friend and helped me with all those fancy math words but I totally wrote this". Idk if they're bots or people, but I feel silly worrying that I would be less "legitimate" if I stopped posting on the arXiv. It might as well be #vixra at this point.
