I am live-streaming my wife’s uncles funeral tomorrow. To make it easy for folks to join I am creating a short url. My shortest primary domain is gho.st. I nearly sent out <uncle’s name>.gho.st as the link to the funeral livestream 😳

I nearly forgot that I had a Tesla Cybertruck deposit. I was suspicious they'd even be legal in Canada. $137,990CAD seems a bit steep for a $35KUSD truck

Poetry is a Python packaging and dependency management tool. I wasn't sure of the syntax so I asked ChatGPT-4 "Using poetry, how do I create a new python project?"
It wasn't the response I expected but I was not disappointed 🤣

Shout out to all the locomotive engineers that give my 2yo daughter a wave and occasional toot as they pass by. She's becoming quite the train spotter and she's never failed to get a wave from the drivers. Train drivers, you might not see it from the train cab and our safe distance from the tracks, but your kind gesture puts a huge smile on her little face. Thank you!

Wow, the Concorde took to the skies again today in New York! I would rather fly on a Concorde than a Boeing, they've had zero accidents in the past 2 decades and their doors stay on!

Does anyone have a good list of logical questions to judge large language models ability to reason?
Questions like "if it takes 3 hours for 3 towels to dry, how long does it take for 9 towels to dry?"
I'm playing around with Mistrals leaked 70b Miqu LLM and want to test it's reasoning skills for a project I'm working on. I've been really impressed so far. It's slower than Mistral & Mixtral but it's been producing the best reasoned answers I've seen from an LLM. And it's running locally!

LinkedIn is giving me real TikTok vibes recently. Like this hindsight gem suggesting that diversifying is the wrong thing to do. I've also found my feed full of poorly made generative AI content.
Are there any LinkedIn alternatives in the Fediverse? Or ways to use Mastodon to achieve similar professional networks?

A scammer "hacked" my elderly friends email account and sent me a message asking for Amazon Gift Cards. After some correspondence I sent them a link to an Amazon eGift card which was actually just an endless captcha loop. It wastes their time while collecting their data. I get all the normal things from the nginx logs (useragent, ip, etc) plus whatever I can convince Javascript to expose like their timezone, real useragent, language, platform, screen resolution, canvas fingerprints etc.
The captcha loop keeps trying to convince them to disable their VPN and they actually did 😅 Now I can have more fun!

There is a website that lists new AI related projects with links to their repos etc. I can't remember what it's called and I can't find it in my bookmarks. Does anyone know of the site I'm thinking of or something similar?

@npub1q5l…ywp3 that's the only solution right? And it's a multi floor parking garage. These Norwegians know how to plan ahead

While I disagree with u/spez's actions, I understand his perspective. Reddit's most valuable asset is its curated text data for training Large Language Models like ChatGPT. Closing down the API protects that asset. He's likely betting that subreddit moderation will be solved with LLMs so the mods that generated that data are of little concern going forward. There will be only one chance to monetize this data asset.
The reason I disagree with u/spez's actions is because I don't believe this asset belongs to him. I'm sure he's protected from a legal perspective but from a philosophical perspective, when a user writes an idea on an online forum, they don't forfeit ownership of that idea. People who contributed to Reddit even 12 months ago had no idea their thoughts will be monetized and consumed by LLMs. We need laws to protect people's data and to democratize data assets.
I also wish u/spez would just be honest about what he's doing. Telling possibly career ending lies about developers and disregarding the mods that made Reddit is inexcusable. It's clear that Reddit has succeeded despite u/spez's leadership.
