In a surprise to no one who has looked at the economics of cloud services before, I think a *lot* of people are in for a rude awakening. It's almost like these bigco's were acting like dealers all along...
@eryn found it! Happy to send it along
An I/O stream from one program can be fed as input to almost any other program.
see i hate this shit because if i want to feed an i/o stream like this the kernel still makes me allocate my own buffer then do a read/write loop. does this build character?
so unserious!!! "splice() is zero-copy hohoho" i literally don't even care it just lets me express my intent to the kernel so it can optimize better this is so obvious ugh
I regret to give anyone this information that didn't already have it, but "the left for AI" as a cluster of ideas both a) exists and b) is infopoison of the highest order
@jonny thank you for this entire thread and for saying the things that i was too scared to say to a former mutual of mine who kept wondering out loud "why aren't leftists embracing AI more" because i'm too dumb to read theory
@researchfairy excellent questions. Other ones I’d add are
“does what I’m responding to relate to a community/demographic to which I don’t belong and that I may be missing important context, history and nuance for?”
“Am I assuming just because they aren’t doing what’s I’d do the person doesn’t care about the ethics of their choices?
“Is my response tainted by stereotypes or inappropriate generalisations?”
Yesterday, I visited the small Shitamachi Museum in Ueno Park in Tokyo. It tells the history of the old neighborhood near the park and was quite interesting.

I saw this in a display of household items, and had to ask someone what it was for. Can you guess? Answer in a thread.
It is a trap for mosquitoes!

Different programs expect various levels of structure, but the kernel does not impose structure on I/O.
"impose" structure. yes it fucking does!!!! the structure it imposes is that of a time series of operations based on offset and length, expressed through the syscall interface

Belgium has halted consular services—including the issuance and renewal of passports—for dual nationals residing in Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The policy, affects thousands of citizens who live beyond the 1967 Green Line.

looking at their modern aio api https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=aio&sektion=3&manpath=NetBSD+9.1
Asynchronous I/O operations are not strictly sequential; operations are carried out in arbitrary order
ok, what about lio_listio, that looks promising https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=lio_listio&sektion=3&apropos=0&manpath=NetBSD+9.1
The order in which the requests are carried out is not specified, and there is no guarantee that they will be executed sequentially.
awesome

I instead view the situation as one that has eminent empirical validation where the largest companies in the world are trying to get us dependent on a technology that yields full control of what is possible to know, what happened, and what can be done as a subscription product with inelastic demand once saturated.
@jonny I regard with deep suspicion anything that is rammed down my throat despite my expressed preference against it.
It's annoying because LLMs and other technology under the "AI" umbrella are pretty interesting, but I don't feel like there's a responsible way to play or engage with it.
Your enthusiasm for the fediverse is truly inspiring. I could listen to you talk about it for hours. Oh wait, I just did 😊
I have about 70 bookmarked posts. But they languish in an unsearchable untagged dumping ground.
So I’m trying this instead:
Sending myself a private post linking to the thing I would have bookmarked with:
- a custom bookmark hashtag
- a thematic hashtag or two
- a comment about why I’m trying to log it as a resource
