"none of these by itself is wrong" and then like three separate discussions of how tokio_select! can fuck you up

fearless concurrency 🔥 🚀

Brey, I'm telling ya - the thing about fascists is that they are legitimately social rejects and typically don't have a lot of emotional intelligence. These folks have no idea how much you hate them, and how committed you are to never forgetting everything they've done.

They're gonna learn tho. Dollar Store Hitler cannot live forever.

I love that on the Fediverse thinking "this is such good moss content" and "wow, these mushrooms are really cool" is totally normal.

I feel like somebody hiked this far and no further.

@PeterLG @stefano You're probably not wrong. AI has a tendency to resemble formal English.

Apparently Kenyans (whose education still tends to slant towards very formal English) tend to have that exact problem too.

Hello yes, I would like to order one petard for hoisting *other people* please

@ilarioq
ben, di sicuro non esisterà mai...se partiamo con l'idea che han già vinto. 🙂

Ti dico un segreto: Bruxelles non è l'Europa, le persone sono l'Europa, persone che condividono ideali e princìpi.

Airbus verso l’addio alle big tech: «Cloud sovrano Ue per i dati»

Il colosso aeronautico prepara una gara da oltre 50 milioni per portare sistemi e dati mission critical su un cloud europeo «digitalmente sovrano» e ridurre i rischi legati al CLOUD Act Usa
Airbus vuole mettere in discussione una delle dipendenze più profonde dell’industria europea: quella da Amazon, Google e Microsoft. Lo ha detto…

Season 4 of Star Trek: Picard will be nothing but an elaborate and contrived lead-up to Patrick Stewart looking into the camera and saying to the villain at the moment of their sudden reversal of fortune,

"Looks like you were hoisted by your own"

(Puts on sunglasses)

"Picard"

What do you even call it when you have nostalgia for technology that was released in the same year as you were released

@thomasfuchs It's a beautiful piece and if you resemble it your old folks did a pretty good job.

Hoisted by my own petard

@hipsterelectron read a paper at some point that described need for urgency as a tool for white supremacy..... can go digging that up if you want as it was much more eloquent than my half-memories will be

Urgency: Urgency seems natural with a tool that can seemingly do so much knowledge work so quickly, but with respect to LLM use, too many organizations have seemingly enshrined urgency over all else. These organizations treat LLMs as an opportunity to increase pace over all else, seemingly without regard for setting direction. Urgency is certainly important, and LLMs absolutely afford an opportunity to do work more quickly — but that pace must not come at the expense of our responsibility, rigor, empathy and teamwork.

ok so

Urgency is certainly important,

sir if you tell me something is "urgent" you better have a damn good reason

LLMs absolutely afford an opportunity to do work more quickly

oh is that what "work" is? brian cantrill mr. sun microsystems telling me yeah the jvm was produced by just slapping shit together for the stock market?

but that pace must not come at the expense

ok so it's my fault if you pressure me to release bad code

of our responsibility, rigor, empathy and teamwork.

"rigor" this is not a company who cares about "rigor" if they accept the tax of sifting through the mistakes

@starluna yes (and I'm not walesonline tech support)

why would you complain to someone you don't know posting a link that you chose to read it through a sideways mechanism and it didn't work

@davidgerard Also, reader mode is for screen readers. You know, for accessibility.

@fossheim I am also very surprised that you haven't heard of it 😜 How is life under the rock? 🪨

Trump has now spent 340 days ending the Ukraine war in 1 day.

@randahl Almost makes you think he doesn't want to end it
