    Ugh, all my EndeavorsOS machines came up with major issues and the website has been down for days. I&amp;#39;m literally torrenting the backup imagine and validating it with way back machine :(

    I understand a lot of the anxieties and legal concerns that LLMs bring up, but I&amp;#39;m still baffled by folks who say they&amp;#39;re useless. As documentation searching tools, they&amp;#39;re simply unprecedented.

    Having taken a lot of time to think about it, I think that the Bluesky model for PDS&amp;#39;s is objectively superior as a way to structure and empower users directly. I think in this *specific* dimension, the Fediverse would do well to adopt that standard and move, and I doubt it&amp;#39;d even be difficult to do.

    I guess I shouldn&amp;#39;t be surprised but I&amp;#39;m kinda amazed Ed Zitron isn&amp;#39;t more contrite/embarrassed about how wrong some of his claims and predictions have been.

    Oh reading that article, Zitron also says that GPUs and TPUs are only useful for AI and that&amp;#39;s crazy talk. They&amp;#39;re the backbone of scientific computing and likely to increasingly displace aspects of the classic CPU architecture over time.

    Copyparty is such a godsend of a piece of software. It fits into a really good space of &amp;quot;extremely easy to set up&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;extremely useful feature set&amp;quot; without being &amp;quot;overpolished&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;sacrificing functionality for the sake of an ideal user who thinks a button on a website is offputting.&amp;quot;

    When IS the appropriate time to say, &amp;quot;I told you so&amp;quot; about programming AI models obviously growing in capability? Like do we wait another year or can we just do it now?

    It&amp;#39;s a bummer to see Doctorow believe blatant misinformation in his latest article. It&amp;#39;s one thing to not like LLMs, it&amp;#39;s another to push widely discredited (and easy for LLM providers to Motte &amp;amp; Bailey) water pollution/depletion narratives. Believing false things will only hurt any chance at true harm prevention.

    So Doctorow has been using LLMs this whole time? Lol.

    Turns out a human centric, low bandwidth, ad free internet was possible all along. It just had to cut costs for tech vendors to make them amenable to permitting it. https://thenewstack.io/cloudflares-markdown-for-agents-automatically-make-websites-more-aifriendly/

    Airbus open sourced their new cockpit font. Make it the default for all your embedded projects, because it&amp;#39;s REALLY good and has real testing in difficult environments! https://b612-font.com/
