@schwa Always down for a hot pot place recommendation.

@schwa You can look out to the island and give him double (or triple!) middle fingers when you want.

@dgregor79 @schwa And for anybody wearing a red ballcap, we can direct them toward the sign that says "this way to see the stupendous whirling blades!”

@penryu Proxmox — it’s ZFS.

@penryu They did on earlier hardware, outside the file system.

@penryu Yes, and before.

@llamasoft_ox They cloned Kangaroo? I thought total distribution of that was only a few thousand.

alexr, 3 days ago

@llamasoft_ox Did that as soon as Jed posted them.

I was also lucky enough at Apple to work with Owen Rubin, Bruce Merritt, Ed Rotberg, Brian McGhie, Bob Flanagan, and then Mark Cerny at Sony. I heard plenty of tales.

@layoutSubviews @kviksilver I miss Stump and the AR games and many dozens of forms of entertainment we had.

@chandlerc What? You don't rely on an LLM to write all your code for you? Don't know know that they're coming for your job? Why aren't you bowing down to the LLMs and the insane assholes who are shoving them down all our throats because we don't know what's best for us?

@siracusa @caseyliss @griffd @spencerdailey Seems to me that the biggest advantage Tesla has is that they can pull data from the entire fleet of cars shipped to add to the training data. Everybody else has to train using Unreal/Unity simulations and carefully gathered driving. That's probably why the current FSD behaves more human-driver-like.

Given that it killed a coworker of mine and Elon is a terrible human, I’ll never trust it.

@griffd @siracusa @caseyliss @spencerdailey FSD may not have “officially” killed anybody, but Elon has blood on his hands for his over-promising.

@caseyliss @griffd @siracusa @spencerdailey And Tesla paid a huge settlement to my coworker's family because of Elon's boastful and dangerous statements.

But keep stanning for Elon. It's a good look.

alexr, 1 day ago

@griffd I did. He sat in the cube next to me at the time.

Yes, I believe he was fully misled by Elon's frequent public over-statement of the capabilities of the system.

I don't think Tesla is reducing traffic accidents in any meaningful way yet. No autonomous effort should yet be claiming anything like that.

He’s hawking a false future. And he's a terrible human and should be shunned.

@jwz Does HDBaseT even use Ethernet frames? I would have assumed it to be entirely different signals.

@timnitGebru It screams "scam bubble" to me.

@dsully @caseyliss paperless-ngx runs an ML model over the inbox documents and guesses the tags, correspondents, document type, etc.

@schwa Suggested Mac-style UI: holding space gives you a grabber hand and arcball rotation behavior.

Did that in the Fear 3D editor for Myth in 1996.

alexr, 13 days ago

@schwa FWIW, space giving the grabber hand and 2D scrolling was in MacPaint.
