mnd999··on PeerTube v6
Maybe, I don’t know, I don’t go looking for that stuff. Most of the stuff I watch there is video games, retro tech or hiking. I was kinda hoping for some recommendations for interesting stuff on peertube.
mnd999··on PeerTube v6
I’m not gonna argue with that. But I’m not going to use the software unless it hosts something I’m interested in.
mnd999··on PeerTube v6
Last time I looked at peertube it had worse problems than that. The content was mostly neo-nazis and conspiracy theories, incels and other stuff that wasn’t on YouTube because it would get banned. I’m not interested in that. Has it got any better?

It’s in FreeBSD 14. But they disabled block cloning by default.
mnd999··on ZFS 2.2.1: Block Cloning disabled due to data corruption

mnd999··on The Piccadilly line’s new air conditioned trains
It’s bonkers. It stopes at South Ealing which is about 10 yards from Northfields but not at Turnham Green which is super busy.

Wow OCR. How innovative.
mnd999··on I deeply regret my participation in the board's actions
I don’t think his career is over, I’m sure he will take on another leadership role. Just not a Microsoft. It’s important that screwing people over has negative consequences or people will do it all the time.
mnd999··on I deeply regret my participation in the board's actions
I don’t think he’s getting a job at Microsoft, even if everyone else does.
mnd999··on OpenAI's misalignment and Microsoft's gain
The cheerleaders are the LLM AI future true believers. I imagine they are the same people that were telling us about how NFTs will change the world last year.

If it worked exactly the same there would indeed be no benefit. If you’re happy with that you have then there’s no reason to switch.

Apparently so was I. I'm treating is as two free magazines I never knew I had.
mnd999··on We Automated Bullshit
> ChatGPT first gave a wrong answer

I think you answered your own question there. It doesn’t say your question makes no sense, or that’s incorrect. It just makes up a bullshit answer.

mnd999··on A coder considers the waning days of the craft
Even if AI were actually good at greenfield dev, that’s still only a tiny part of the job, and not the hard part. Try fitting a huge legacy codebase in your prompt.
