Went to @foulab watching a friend tinkering with their devices... I was not (nor am I generally) prepared to do anything hands-on in a #hackerspace so I decided to take a few shots of their little #retrocomputing museum. #Montreal #computer #Commodore #photography

Out of curiosity, and since not so many people tried to use #kagi to #translate *from* #LinkedIn speak to English, I decided to test it on an actual LinkedIn post on my feed (happens to be one using &quot;AI&quot; to replace interns): https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7438083732978425856/ . As is the case with nondeterministic LLMs, running on the same text gives me different output each time, which makes it critically unsuitable for translation, but there is irony in...

Since I&#39;d be leaving #Montreal in a few weeks I thought I&#39;d have some #poutine before going to somewhere without that authentic Quebecois #food. So, got the Poutine St-Henri (large), plus a milkshake, at Green Spot. In hindsight I might&#39;ve eaten too much for a simple lunch... But it was pretty good nevertheless.

Automated tooling has now been installed on #MstdnParty and #MstdnPlus to address reports of #spam from and to the instances. For other #MastoAdmin&#39;s: all accounts use gmail addresses. One IP is 89.163.206.181 (German VPS) and the other is 122.165.217.244 (Indian fixed-line); it&#39;s unclear what pattern there is to actually prevent this attack.
