@movq Nice! 👍

@lyse Haha 🤣

@bender are they really though when you factor in the weaker AUD? 🧐

@kat Ok 👌

@movq This is a really good example of "simplicity" but achieves the intent and goals 👌

(Now, I don’t know if your screen reader can work with this. Let me know if it doesn’t.)

I don't use a screen reader fortunately (actually they're pretty garbage). So all good 👍 (I juse use full-screen zoom).

@lyse Nice shot! 😳

For example, I reckon software should treat stdout and stderr with care and never output logs or other such garbage to stdout that cannot possibly be useful in a UNIX pipeline 😅

@movq Yeah that's why I'm striking this conversation with you 😅 Not only do I respect your opinion quite highly 🤣 But like you say (and I've read their philipshpy) it can be a bit "elitism" for sure. I'm genuinely interested in what we think of as software that "doesn't suck". Tb be honest I haven't really put thought to paper myself, but I reckon if I did, I'd have some opinions/ideas...

@movq So you wouldn;t consider things written in Go to be "suckless"-esque? 🤔

@eldersnake Yeah well when you put it like that 🤣

@movq Curious what you would define as "suck less" software? (language agnostic of course!)

@eldersnake Yeah for sure! The thing that annoys me about a lot of this, is the sheer fact you can't really self-host let alone self-train these things I've been playing around with AI at home over the past few months and building my own neural networks from scratch (in Go) with genetic algorithms on a few tasks and training sets, but man it's hard™ 🤣 I feel like we're doing something wrong here...

@eldersnake This was an interesting read for sure! 👍 I don't think it had anything I hadn't already considered in terms of the ethical/moral points of view. I'm not sure where I stand myself either to be honest. I've forced myself to get familiar with the ecosystem and tooling, because in my line of work as a tech lead (staff engineer in sre) you don't want to be that one guy that ya know 😉 Ethically/Morally though, I'm definitely with the sentiment of this post 😅 Much like the whole Crypto hype yaers back (if y'all remember?!) this is also one of the most energy hungry pieces of "tech" (if you can call it that?) in a while. Then there's these other issues "stealing people's work", "reliance is causing humans to become cognitively weak and neural connections to shrink", to name a few...

@kat Yea I can! I

@lyse HahahHh 🤣

@movq Because we keep fucking with the planet's environment and climate patterns? 🤔

We're feeling some pretty intense winds up here in Brisbane too right on the outer edge which are exceeding 100 km an hour winds 🤣

A few more...

@movq We did indeed! 😅 I'll share photos soon™ 🔜 Was completely "off-grid", no connectivity to anything anywhere 🤣

Thanks all 🙏

@movq Yeah pretry much 🤣

@kat Always do 🤣

@movq Is this much different to Go's error handling as values though really? 🧐🤣😈

@movq Agree! Good list 👌

@movq Ewww 😈

@bender Ahh I see hmmm I don't know this either 🤣

@aelaraji You mean Control R?

@movq Yup 👍 Super interesting sruff 👌

@movq I think it's here on MIT's website: Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task 🤔

i.e: the "~30-40% drop in cognitive capabilities" for chronic users of Chatp GPT 🤣

@movq I was more interested in the MIT research tbh 😅

@movq Hahaha 😂 This is gold! I've been following along with our ramblings on Rust. What's it gone and done to you now? 🤔 I don't think I can ever be friends personally, I feel "too stupid" to learn Rust 🤣

@movq I like this idea 👌 Very neat!

@bmallred Oh sorry I should have explained those terms 🤦‍♂️

@bmallred Ahhh this is an agent I'm tryining to play the game of Connect3. It uses a library written in Go I've been working on that supports Neuroevolution using Genetic Algorithms. Some features include: Mutation, Speciation, Lamarckian Evolution/Inheritence.

@bender Hmmm

and have an unexplainable dislike for its creator.

What? What? 😅 🤔

@bender I know I know! I don't know why I ever signed up and used it and still continue to pay for the silly thing. Twtxt/Yarn is so much better in every way 🤣

@bender Maybe one day I'll take back over my prologic.blog domain from µBlog and redoit with my handy zs tool with some nice CSS 🤣

@bender I just babble on Twtxt 🤣 I honestly find that I don't realy have the time nor the energy to "blog" in full really, I rarely do 😢

@movq Me too 😅 -- Speaking of which i know you've lost a bit of "mojo" or "energy" (so have i of late), rest assured, I want to keep the status quo here with what we've built, keep it simple and change very little. What we've built has worked very well for 5+ years and we have at least 3 very strong clients (maybe 4 or 5?).

@movq Ahh but it kind of is mine 😅 Or at least I've done this kind of thing at least 3 or 4 times now 🤣

@bender yes but my point is my handcrafted set up also achieves the same thing 🤣

@bender What's awesome about it btw? I use WireGuard pretty heavily here. And my entire family also use it to keep a VPN connection back to our home network

@movq Considered building your own language and compiler? 🤔

@movq This was always my belief too re likes, etc.

@bender remind me to look into this a bit later because I'm starting to suspect there's a weird behavior in the system 🧐

@bender Which one?

@movq LOL 🤣 I don't think I could ever take Rust seriaujly 🤦‍♂️

@bender @aelaraji Sorry this was my fault 🤦 For whatever reason my pod had never seen that particular Twt from @movq -- And... There's a bit of a "behavioral" problem with the Trusted Peers functionality that means operators have to periodically re-trust peers manually 😭 Need to rework this 🤞

@starletvania Yes this thing is on 😅
