There's a whole world out there...

I'm a genius. I've had issues following random accounts for years on my honk. I finally figured out the issue. I had fk'n dev mode enabled in production and that breaks some signing callback (by design). Disabled dev mode and now it's working as expected.

sigh

Today is a good day to finally #GiveUpGitHub!

& now there's YA reason: last week, #GitHub urged the FOSS community to *oppose* important #California legislation that places transparency and consumer rights requirements on deployment of LLM-gen-AI!

GitHub's tactic? Disinformation claiming #FOSS licenses are incompatible with Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code §22757 and California #SB1000 (which seeks to amend §22757).

To those sites who send you an auth link or validation code to your email to login to accounts and also have a short timeout window (5-15 minutes) - I hate you. Some of us use greylisting to help fight spam (works great!) so far too often I am altering the whitelists on our greylisting daemon to let a short timeout email in quickly. Grrrrr!!!

@teleclimber I lived in Cerritos (near the college) for years. I loved it there and so many good spots tucked away. Amazing tofu houses! And of course Little India in Artesia was just a mile or so away so I stuffed myself there quite often too. Tacos in Hawaiian Gardens, Burgers in Long Beach, Tortas in Downey or Paramount, etc. etc. etc.

I don't hate on OC though. I mean it's not for me (to live) but plenty to love there too. Especially Little Saigon in Garden Grove. Though I think Pho Tasty in Cerritos is still my all time favorite (pho anyways). If you haven't been, it's a must.

The Metafilter folks are very quick to condemn AI training for its mass violations of intellectual property rights, and they are also very quick to share archive.is links to paywalled articles that they don't care to pay for, which is all of them.

i know of previous large scale distributed computing projects from years and years ago. e.g. see:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SETI@home

is there existing research for something like this but with LLM tech? not just using pre-trained models, but actual training. actually crawling the internet. participants can volunteer some of their computing capacity to run the network.

that's how i think LLM-based tech should be implemented. don't have llots of big datacentres. do it open source, and run everything p2p.

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

I'm sort of a notebook guy/geek and I love my travelers notebook. So when I saw the 20th anniversary card size edition I had to get it. Of course it was sold out, so I waited until the given date (4/29, 12pm PST), refreshing and refreshing until I could finally add it to my cart.

I went to checkout, was in queue, by the time I was able to pay I was told they were out of stock :(

Went to eBay and bought it from a reseller for nearly double the price. This little fucker better be worth it (but I think it probably will be)

The rainy season has officially begun here in #Nicaragua. Rain overflowed my pool last night, pool guy came in and drained all the excess. Today it rained enough to overflow it again. Fun times in the tropics.
