    Today was the first taste of spring and my mood immediately lifted. It happens every year, but I always forget how much winter bums me out.

    Seriously, people positioning local LLM models as an alternative to corporate, wasteful bullshit are either naive or disingenuous. They’re all products of unethical behaviour. Point me to a local model with clear lineage of the data it trained on — public domain and/or licensed material — and then we can talk.

    Either Cloudflare has gone crazy, or bots are smashing every single site on earth. The volume of captchas I get every day is out of control. Multiple times on a single site. To the point where I just give up browsing some sites.

    Had a nice time working on a Typescript project today. Not impressed with the whole JavaScript/Typescript ecosystem — so much convoluted bullshit — but it’s satisfying to think, then execute well. As in, it ended up being simpler than I expected.

    More performative &amp;quot;concern&amp;quot; from Penny Wong. Always so concerned. Always ready to condemn. Also part of a Govt. that absolutely won&amp;#39;t do anything meaningful about it. I can&amp;#39;t imagine being so arrogant, and so bereft of principles. https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/penny-wong-grilled-on-investigation-into-alleged-sexual-assault-of-flotilla-activist/bn8xpbdnq

    RE: https://social.vivaldi.net/@brucelawson/116701946121942141 On the upside, the marketing team definitely got the campaign live quicker than they would otherwise. AI living up to its promises…

    Honestly wouldn&amp;#39;t have expected Wikimedia to engage in union-busting.

    Underrated film. A real shame it didn&amp;#39;t do better. I reckon I&amp;#39;m gonna pull out my laserdisc copy and watch it this evening. https://illo.social/@paulshipper/116645914491398786

    Well, that explains it. They hired a banker as the CEO. Idiots. https://mathstodon.xyz/@johncarlosbaez/116646477439451889

    The history API in browsers is a mistake. Websites should not be able to break the back-button. I constantly run into sites that fuck it up.

    Yet another great open source project falls to the curse of vibe coding. RIP Rsync.

  • Post #3011177

    I’m gonna stay out of the Boards of Canada discourse coz… I like to vibe with music, not argue about it. But! I do like how beefy this new album sounds. Big chunky drums.

    Went to see my mate Ben play a gig on the weekend, and it was very good. Vibey techno and electro. I did a dance. People should buy his music https://featherstone1.bandcamp.com

    Pauline Hanson is a lazy flog. She can&amp;#39;t even be bothered to turn up in the Senate most of the time. Just a cosplaying as a politician and pretending a tiny cult-of-personality is a political party. https://archive.is/uxaGL
