Nothing happend so nobody is to blame for anything. IF something happened, then yes, the person would be held accountable, perhaps not too harshly, but still.

Same situation: long haul driver doesn’t get a second driver for a 14h run. Management shrugs, he drives for 12, falls asleep and kills someone. He is responsible, but he perhaps was also coerced, and the responsibility is on a company as well.

Not everything is clear cut, as much as we’d like.

That controller should have walked off and notified media no flights should be handled by Newark until they get their shit together.

This type of heroics can kill people.

I had two fitbit trackers before getting Sense, and honestly, I keep it on life support, buying replacement 3rd party straps and charging cables.

When it inevitably dies, I’d move on. I never found a use for Google assistant, it can’t even set my google maps navigation properly, can’t set a reminder.

The only thing it ever did of value to me is 5 minutes of asking it for a joke.

Why would you feed bees anything? Just plant shit around them and they’ll feed themselves. It’s the easiest form of animal husbandry!

TIL Sonnet 3.7 is worse than 3.5. How come?

Any Firefox-based browser can use “Tree style tabs” it’s vertical tabs from the time before they were cool. Very customizable.

I just don’t ascribe philosophical reasoning and mythical powers to models, just as I don’t ascribe physical prowess to train models, because they emulate real trains.

Half of the reason LLMs are the menace they are is the whole “whoa ChatGPT is so smart” common mentality. They are not, they model based on statistics, there is no reasoning, just a bunch of if statements. Very expensive and, yes, mathematically interesting if statements.

I also think it stiffles actual progress, having everyone jump on the LLM bandwagon and draining resources when we need them most to survive. In my opinion, it’s a dead end and wont result in AGI, or anything effectively productive.

If I could think I’d be so mad right now.

Statistical models are not intelligence, Artificial or otherwise, and should have no rights.

All of them at once!

One thing that keeps me really calm about obsidian is the plaintext database. I can live with a proprietary db if the code is foss and I can fudge my data out if I need to. If code and db are proprietary, I’m not putting my data there if I can help it.

I used my kindle for 10 years now, and I never bought one. I did buy ebooks 3rd party plenty.

I wish to replace it with a yubikey, but I don’t even know if it’s supported.
