@npub1cpp…e7uy I am not sure what kind of response you expect to get to this question

The guy in front of me on Caltrain works at OpenAI and the fact that he’s spent the last ten minutes on Google writing queries with “site:reddit.com” after them tells me everything I want to know about the state of this industry

As someone just catching up on the xz drama I have to say GitHub nuking literally everything related to the repository is incredibly frustrating. Real loser energy right there

@npub1cpp…e7uy Actually my weekend plans involve a bigger black box known as the form 1040

2024-03-07 20:13:36

I have noticed a worrying trend in computer science where topics that are have surprising, non-intuitive properties are now taught as “oh, treat this as a magic black box, you will never understand it”. I hate this as people then “teach” by discouraging exploration in the space

Nobody really want to admit it but the reason this platform hasn’t had to deal with spam is not because it was designed on top of a genius-level federated protocol and only populated by nice people but because nothing here was worth targeting with abuse

I just watched Minority Report and can’t get over how unrealistic it is. No, not when they make technology that claims to prevent crimes by seeing the future. The part where they immediately stop using it for sentencing and grant amnesty when it becomes clear that it doesn’t work

My 2024 conspiracy theory is that “Transparent App Lifecycle” was a backcronym by a former Taligent engineer to justify the “talagent” pun

I’ve posted a screenshot of a prototype before, but here’s a little project I’ve been working on: https://github.com/saagarjha/MacCast. It casts Mac windows to visionOS so you can interact with them as if they were native. It’s still very alpha, feel free to give it a try on Apple Vision Pro!
