Apple's "Universal Clipboard" is 10 years old.
It's worked "sometimes" during all that time.
This shit is so funny to me man, I could read these bug reports forever
This person reports how they tried to get fable to build a thing to process some data, but instead burned 12 days of usage on it generating thousands of commits and hundreds of GB of data doing absolutely nothing. It was supposed to build some validation thing that wraps the data processing pipeline, but it never built the pipeline itself, so it then went into a delirium of validating the validator and doing everything except the thing it was supposed to
The thing that is extra funny to me is that many of these are also clearly written by the LLM, so its the LLM complaining about how the LLM is broken, and the person that presumably is somewhere in the process doesn't see anything wrong with a machine that is clearly failing to do even the most basic task being the thing explaining why it is failing even the most basic task

This song popped up on my playlist of my favorite songs. It’s so lovely. I was gonna share it with y’all, then I realized I already did last year. 😂
Enjoy it again! If you need a salve for your heart, this is a great candidate.
Ooooo I remember this Mark! And it IS lovely! Thanks for sharing it again 💜
As a bonus, here is the goose party that was guarding the entrance to the Science Centre yesterday where I gave a talk (they were all happily eating grass and didn't actually care about anyone walking by)
@sundogplanets Where I worked there was a reflecting pool and Canada Geese would gather. They had loud arguments with each other. Their droppings were huge and messy. And they walked around the parking lot like they owned it.
If you got too close to one, it would look at you and hiss like a cat.
I used to be excited about rocket launches. Fuck you, SpaceX, for taking that away from me by destroying the sky, the atmosphere, and dropping shit on me because of your terrible safety and nonexistent environmental practices. https://flipboard.com/@spacecom/spacex-6lea8r50z/-/a-uqOOTanZQHe-8X_AdQQaMw%3Aa%3A1693190246-%2F0
@sundogplanets Well, wishing them some nice fireworks...

@ami_angelwings streaming platforms are evil, that's not a hot take, but "6 to 10 one-hour episodes a year" is the perfect series format. The BBC format. Yes please.
I have more.
@laguiri @ami_angelwings I'll go further: 3-4 episodes per season/series.

Four years later and #Mastodon continues to have a misogyny problem, what efforts have been made to make it better for women here?
Also, I don't think the USA of all countries should be thinking of financially sanctioning countries because of their impact to air quality due to emissions.
@brunoph we're number one!!!! we're number one!!!!
@ophiocephalic @bms48 Is that the guy who added crappy computer-generated imagery to one of the most beloved movies of all times, distracting from the original artistry and pissing off generations of dedicated fans?
@joelvanderwerf
Now that you mention it, why yes

Dude spent $2.3k in 24 hours with LLMs to make "World of Warcraft 2D Topdown", and the result is awful (has barely any functionality).
With that, he could hire a pixel artist that would make a full set of characters and tilesets (and a sounds guy to make some sound effects), and could create something way more polished even with Construct.
But I imagine he would NEVER ever even pay $10 for an artist and would consider it "expensive". Why do these ppl lack so much taste?

I might be wrong, but my understanding is that lateral violence is pretty foundational to the far right. Its how they maintain discipline and the illusion of purity.
We disrupt them by forging connections between people. Finding and sharing humanizing context, and helping each other recognize the root causes of our struggles instead of latching on to a scapegoat.

DJ Cosmic is now playing Heatwave (feat. Ms D) - The Ascent (Deluxe) by Wiley, right here on Galaxy Radio! Listen here at either https://beats.seedy.cc:9005/public/gr or https://beats.seedy.cc:9005/listen/gr/radio.mp3
Amtrak Northeast Corridor trains have been delayed/slowed today by both extreme heat (which causes speed restrictions due to increased risk of rail deformation and buckling) as well as hazardous air (which limits outdoor activity by the crews that service and turn trains).
This future we’re living in is less great than had been promised.
@mattblaze Undoubtedly. His answer is to open up more of our public lands for misuse and abuse adding to the problem.
