  1. 🚨 #TechWeenieAlert

    “We are using this to feed a very large amount of content into the #AIModel, so that way it can learn how smart people use computers to accomplish tasks. I think that this is going to be a very big advantage if we can do it,” #Zuckerberg purportedly said during an April 30 meeting in which an employee asked about the "top of mind" issue. 🤪🧠

    … a company spokesperson confirmed in April that Meta would monitor employees to train AI. Meta's #TrackingTool is called #ModelCapabilityInitiative, according to reports.

    The audio was posted the same day Meta announced 8,000 #JobCuts. It captured Zuckerberg's thoughts on the news, first reported by #Reuters, that Meta planned to install #software on employees' computers to #monitor activity for AI training. #MorePerfectUnion did not reply to an email from The Register seeking comment.

    "So if we're trying to teach the models #coding, for example, then having #people internally build tools that or solve #tasks that help teach the model how to code, we think, is going to dramatically increase our models' coding ability #faster than what others in the industry have the capability to do, who don't have thousands and thousands of extremely #StrongEngineers 💪🤓 at their company,"

    Meanwhile, I found the perfect solution: @planifyapp

    Planify supports reccurring tasks and is just overall pretty nice. I use it to work through a daily checklist and keep track of weekly and monthly tasks. It also works really well as a scratchpad for other little backlog todos. It's getting a ton of great updates recently.

    It really encourages you to think about *when* you plan to do something. That really helps me a lot.

    I used #Tasks for a bit. Treating it the same way i did #OrgMode .. but after awhile, i migrated back to #OmniFocus for tasks.

    I think i just like to keep my whole life in OmniFocus, and my personal life was already there.

    Totally no knock on the Tasks plugin, it's awesome.

    Waxing Moon

    Foggy and raw

    You can read the latest on the garden on Gratitude and Growth.

    It was raining by the time I posted yesterday, so no trip to the mechanic first thing. I need to get it done before the next bout of bad weather comes through, because there are days I have to be out and about.

    I had order kerflamma with a company. I used to shop with them occasionally when they had actual stores. They “restructured” and are only online now. I wanted something for my mom for the summer that would make her more comfortable, and they seemed to have the best quality at the best price, so I put in an order late on Tuesday night. I checked the confirmation that came in on Wednesday morning, and it was not for what I ordered. I put in a cancellation request and was told I can only cancel in the first 60 minutes of placing the order, otherwise they couldn’t guarantee the cancel. I submitted the request anyway, and then got on live chat with an actual human. The human parroted the same policy. I said fine, but I’m trying to save us all a bunch of steps, because I’m just going to return the item if it shows up, and then I won’t shop at this store again. I was polite, I thanked the human, but I made it clear I was not happy with the situation. I keep live chat transcripts, just in case, and screenshot them when I can’t request an email transcript.

    The cancellation went through in less than 30 minutes.

    It’ll be a week before the refund is made (because they take it in 15 seconds, but take 7 days to return it). Will I shop there again? Doubtful. I’ll look for this item in other places in person.

    But it was fixed, and there was no yelling involved, just calm conversation. And at least they didn’t try to talk me into ordering (again) what I’d actually ordered, paying again, and then promising to sort it all out (as a company I dealt with last year tried).

    Checked my account, and the state cashed my tax check, so I guess our tax returns were delivered after all, even though I didn’t pay the additional extortion fee. At least on the state level. So that’s good to know.

    Did just under 1K on BETTING MAN, some solid work. Did some script reading for next week’s literary committee meeting. Did the day’s marketing. Checked some stuff on social media and wished I hadn’t.

    The cats were restless, and I’m not sure why.

    I had a solid session on the ghostwriting, even getting a little ahead of where I hoped to be by end of day yesterday. I hope I can finish a section today, do the final section tomorrow, and get it out the door early on Monday (it’s due on Tuesday). A lot of that depends on if maintenance is coming in to fix something, and how that will throw off the schedule.

    I am headed out the door in a few minutes to be at the mechanic’s when they open and get the windshield wiper issue sorted out. I’ll come back to pick up the bag of library books and the bags for the grocery shop, then head out and do that. Once I get all that home, I hope to get some work done on BETTING MAN before the FreelanceFriends meeting. Then, it’s ghostwriting until I leave for a book swap at Brewsters Thrift Shop this evening. The owner of the shop is a fellow Future Labs member, and her show opens next week, on Beltane. I’m looking forward to tonight, and to her opening.

    Fingers crossed everything stays on track and gets done!

    But it was fixed, and there was no yelling involved, just calm conversation. And at least they didn’t try to talk me into ordering (again) what I’d actually ordered, paying again, and then promising to sort it all out (as a company I dealt with last year tried).

    Checked my account, and the state cashed my tax check, so I guess our tax returns were delivered after all, even though I didn’t pay the additional extortion fee. At least on the state level. So that’s good to know.

    Did just under 1K on BETTING MAN, some solid work. Did some script reading for next week’s literary committee meeting. Did the day’s marketing. Checked some stuff on social media and wished I hadn’t.

    The cats were restless, and I’m not sure why.

    I had a solid session on the ghostwriting, even getting a little ahead of where I hoped to be by end of day yesterday. I hope I can finish a section today, do the final section tomorrow, and get it out the door early on Monday (it’s due on Tuesday). A lot of that depends on if maintenance is coming in to fix something, and how that will throw off the schedule.

    I am headed out the door in a few minutes to be at the mechanic’s when they open and get the windshield wiper issue sorted out. I’ll come back to pick up the bag of library books and the bags for the grocery shop, then head out and do that. Once I get all that home, I hope to get some work done on BETTING MAN before the FreelanceFriends meeting. Then, it’s ghostwriting until I leave for a book swap at Brewsters Thrift Shop this evening. The owner of the shop is a fellow Future Labs member, and her show opens next week, on Beltane. I’m looking forward to tonight, and to her opening.

    Fingers crossed everything stays on track and gets done!

  36. RE: tuiter.rocks/@wildperal/116353

    Sigo en el lío con esto, he probado a registrarme en tab.digital con el servicio free de 8GB, pasos:

    1. Cuenta de correo para tareas [email protected]

    2. Crear tarea de prueba con fecha de finalización en nextcloud task para mañana

    3. Copiar y "tunear" en enlace del calendario de nextcloud y se me baja el .ics

    4. Añadir calendario a proton calendar con el enlace

    Siguientes pasos cuando compruebe que la tarea aparece en proton calendar -> configurar tasks.org para la gestión de tareas de forma segura, privada y libre ( aquí me espera otro follon en android tendré que instalar DAVx⁵, añadir url de tareas y en task.org añadir la cuenta DAVx⁵) luego en el ipdad del curro casi idem

  43. Die App 'Tasks' von Alex Baker, die wiederum auf dem Code der Android-App von 'Astrid' beruht, ist zu einer flexiblen App für Aufgabenmanagement angewachsen. In den vergangenen Jahren hat sie mir tolle Dienste geleistet, auch wenn ich sie für GTD verwendet habe, wofür sie gar nicht konzipiert ist.

    Jetzt habe ich mit 'Mindwtr' eine echte GTD-App gefunden und werde wohl Abschied nehmen von Tasks. Erstmal stehen nun aber Migrationsarbeiten an.

  47. 🚀 Ah, yet another #groundbreaking #paper promising #AI #mastery over "long-horizon tasks" while managing to say absolutely nothing! 🤯 It's like watching a toddler explain quantum physics with a crayon. Spoiler: the "horizon" is still as distant as ever. 🌞
