Will you help us build the Torment Nexus?

Devs: What?! Absolutely not!

What if we paid you $1 million a year?

Devs: It's not about the money. My reputation is at stake!

You could tell people you had no choice.

Devs: I won't be responsible for building the Torment Nexus. It's evil!

Oh... well you know it won't look like a Torment Nexus until much later. Right now it's just a cool toy that makes up answers to silly questions.

Devs: Haha, this thing is cool. Wait, what were we talking about?

Holy shit I ❤️ gliding club culture.

We have a series of lectures going to kick off the season, and our Slack instance is humming along nicely with discussion about one recent topic: Toxic masculinity and how it gets people killed in aviation.

I think I'm going to steal the deck and replace all the aviation references with software development references.

@raganwald I’m sure KLM Flight 4805 gets a mention. What a nightmare.

janl,
@janl@narrativ.es avatar

@raganwald oh sorry, I didn’t mean to compare the two. I posted mine before you mentioned the other one. I just remember the 747 issue in part being the captain claiming he knew best and the second in command being so much his junior he didn’t dare speak up and as you say has since been structurally addressed.

I was looking in my closet and discovered that about ten years ago, I bought a swim shirt with several large logos of the brand name on it.

The brand name is Tesla.

Not sure whether to put it in the used clothes bin or the trash...

Spotted a running process called "Logi AI Prompt Builder" and have now discovered that my mouse driver auto updated to add a bullshit feature. 😡

janl,

@Odaeus best to not use a mouse driver as macOS doesn’t really need one. And if you need better controls, get SteerMouse.

I recently discovered Grip, Inc and my current hyperfocus is their track Hostage to Heaven off their first album. It is ridiculously good. (Heads up, heavy and fast music).

This example is just guitar and drums, but that’s all it really needs imo.

This is a rather interesting read https://kevquirk.com/mastodon-is-ddosing-me

Hat tip to @hdv for the link

janl,
@janl@narrativ.es avatar

@belldotbz the solution for this problem is literally 25 years old. Folks just have forgotten how to websites.

janl,
@janl@narrativ.es avatar

@sarajw @belldotbz there are ~16k instance, one each is hitting the site.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/C10k_problem

Other folks have analysed the website in question. I haven’t validated it but it sounds it’d be instructive to look at the network tab while loading the site.

janl,
@janl@narrativ.es avatar

@sarajw @belldotbz yeah correct. And them claiming CloudFlare goes down is ludicrous.

Here's a brilliant neologism: "slop", for text generated entirely by LLMs and published, unwanted, on the Internet

> Watching in real time as "slop" becomes a term of art. the way that "spam" became the term for unwanted emails, "slop" is going in the dictionary as the term for unwanted AI generated content
