Boosts appreciated 🙏

i should make a scale of computer literacy, starting with "doesn't know how to turn on the computer" and "doesn't know how to maximize windows" and ending with "can desolder and replace broken motherboard components" and "fluent in assembly"

For text input... Physical keyboards remain the simplest & most ergonomic solution!

Even if converting the pressed keys into ASCII then UTF-8 text requires a conversion pass or 2. The 2nd pass might need some additional UI to show what's happening.

If you're editing text, there's nuances around the arrow keys to get straight.

Though yes, we could support other text-entry mechanisms. For instance we could use machine learning to convert your verbal speech into text, might need an NPU.

2/4?

@codinghorror they just don't get that foolish consistency is hobgoblin all their brainz.

I have a Product Manager friend looking for a new PM role. I’m trying to convince him to #GetFediHired on #Mastodon.

#ProductManagement folks, where should my friend be looking/engaging for a new PM role in #SanFrancisco or #SFBA, hybrid or remote?

#AskFedi

This one is a bit of a long shot #getfedihired but here we go. I'm writing up a job description for an experienced (4+ years mgmt please) software engineering manager for a backend team (services, APIs, infrastructure).

We'd like to hire locally for this one, but the role is fully wfh remote. Looking in #Victoria (ideal), on the island, or #Vancouver (BC, Canada). #yyj #yvr

If you like #edm (or music in general) and live in the area... DM me to get a head start.... the role will be posted live in a couple weeks.

@siracusa wasn't aware they had that feature! Thanks!

I am trapped. Don’t send help 🐈‍⬛

@Vivaldi When I mentioned the news someone said "are you sure Opera isn't doing that too?” I said (unprovoked) well I know that Vivaldi isn't 😊I didn't know how right I was! Thanks!

@sundogplanets
I love that the ducks appear to have, in fact, effectively hidden themselves. 😅

@decryption
congrats on making it through that bullshit

@TheBreadmonkey

This is humanity''s greatest achievement and proof that our species is at the pinnacle of evolution.

increasingly clear that when tech nerds refer to "AGI" they just mean trying to invent a type of girl who will like them

Some optimism as a counterweight to, well, everything.

@da_667 @xan Just to add that the 50 GWh number was for training GPT-4. These days, ongoing inference at the token rates used by coding assistants and similar tools means ongoing usage eclipses training in short order. TL;DR: it is very bad, but how bad depends on the source of the energy and how the waste heat is handled.
