Middle-aged nerd who is really bad at describing himself. I don't boost as often as I should, but when I do you'll know it's a good one. Or at least silly.

Last Notes npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 I got the kittens a rechargable ball that rolls around on its own and everyone's very confused by it. They're playing with it, but they're looking at it like it's doing something insane and inexplicable. It was advertised as exercising their predatory instincts, but prey usually runs *away* from the predator, not just in completely random directions, including very fast directly toward the predator. Maybe "play" is a bit of a strong word. They're following it around and occasionally batting it. npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 In addition to sitting on the cats a couple times, and almost crushing one with a sliding glass door, I've also accidentally full-on kicked them halfway across the room when they've darted in front of me. Thankfully, I've only ever caught them with the top of my foot, which meant they got a fairly gentle acceleration spread across a fairly wide area of their bodies and didn't even seem all that concerned by it. Perhaps they're doing it on purpose? npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 @nprofile…94n2 @nprofile…5w7x Of all the Trek captains (the main ones, not background captains), Archer is, by far, the worst diplomat. The dude brought his dog to a first contact meeting and let it pee on sacred trees. Who does that? npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 @nprofile…94n2 He's a Betazoid sociopath. One of my favourite characters of Voyager's early seasons. npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 The time is now 12:30 am, and time for the kittens to run amok. 🤣 npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 @nprofile…yzy8 Aren't booleans, at their core, supposed to just be one bit? I guess a zero-bit boolean could be too small... npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 Apparently there's a whole town in Western Australia that nobody's allowed to talk about. npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 @nprofile…2e2z If there's not actually anything to hold on to, I would think it'd be best to wedge yourself into a corner, even if it's the corner between the floor and wall, as it will reduce the directions you can move, at least to begin with. Beyond the initial jolt, I doubt your starting position would make much of a difference. And, of course, it's not going to make much of a difference anyway for any extreme accelerations. npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 Is one on the way to the other or do we have to decide now whether to go to Hell or Highwater? npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 @nprofile…d60a In other news, satellite imagery shows the Squirrel Kingdom mobilising their military. Though the reclusive kingdom continues to refuse any contact with the press, an unnamed source reports that the maneuvers are due to the mysterious disappearance of their monarch. npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 "It helps non-creative people be creative." npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 The best thing about the Ohio Conspiracy is that people will inevitably say something like "I live in Ohio, it's definitely a real place." Sure, buddy, I'm not buying it. Stop trying to trick people into thinking Ohio is actually a thing. npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 Pop science headline: "Scientists think that..." npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 Yeah, that's a whole lot of smoke in the air now. It doesn't look like I'm in any danger, but it's probably too much smoke to go for a walk. npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 @nprofile…2ch3 I know I really, really shouldn't make fun of someone's appearance (because as reprehensible as he was, someone else likely has similar features and I'd be insulting them by proxy), but I just cannot get over how much Kirk looked like someone badly photoshopped a different face onto his head with remarkably good blending. You can't even see the seam. Shame they didn't get the scale right first. npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 @nprofile…7q7j That cat was 90% fur, now it's only 75%. At least they left them a tail tuft. npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 Oh, look, it's moderately nice out right now, maybe I'll finally go out. npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 Them: "Autistics have a hard time with empathy." npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 It seems a lot like most of this Victoria Emergency Services "advice" is just don't be hot. npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 @nprofile…gj0l "The fruit pickers are getting uppity again and went and elected a pro-union leader, better send in the CIA for some good, old-fashioned, externally-forced regime change." npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 Are most people really not able to tell an AI narrated video or do they just not care? (a recent entry to a set of questions I have that are broadly described as "Asshole or stupid?") npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 @nprofile…nks4 He's a psychopath. He is incapable of empathy and most of his emotions are so dulled as to not really be detectable. Probably the only one he actually feels on a regular basis is a combination of anger and humiliation (to him they would be the same thing). npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 Tell me about the most recent book you re-read, the book you think you've re-read the most, or a book you decided you had to re-read almost immediately after finishing. npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 Are we at the "oh fuck" part of climate change yet? Snow in summer. npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 @nprofile…klsv Rather than acting scripted parts, which Data is clearly very good at, he should have tried group improv instead. Which, I guess, is sort of what the comedian was trying to get across, but terribly. And maybe jazz instead of classical. npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 The War on Christmas includes people claiming Die Hard isn't a Christmas movie. npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 @nprofile…g4q2 @nprofile…pc4c One wonders what the ulterior motive is for forcing these environmentally destructive, unethically produced, useless toys on their users. They must know that they're going to lose a large portion of their install base by doing this, so whatever they're getting out of it must be worth a lot of money given that they're destroying their entire brand and all the goodwill they've built up over the years. I'm certainly in the market for an alternative. npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 Hold on, hold on, hold on. You had *all* this space to print stuff, *and* included a double sided card, and what you used it for wasn't including the install instructions, but providing the exact same message twice, including *two,* *identical* QR codes for the instructions? npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 @nprofile…yr34 @nprofile…4xtf npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 @nprofile…9v90 TARDIS console rooms should always have books. I know the originals didn't, or many of them, for that matter, and I know there's a library somewhere else, but the console room needs art least a small selection of books, and an empty space where the manual should be. npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 I was confused for a second scrolling through the dooms as people were talking about a school shooting and I knew it was a synagogue shooting. It turns out there were *two* mass shootings today. npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 Holy shit, I had no idea cows could live so long! npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 @nprofile…nydn npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 @nprofile…8cmr It's not "confidently wrong" because it doesn't actually understand anything. Everything it says is made up on the spot. It is packed full of words and produces answer-shaped responses out of its pile of words. Don't be surprised when it's wrong, be surprised when it isn't. npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 Pro-tip: telling me that my well-founded concerns aren't worth being concerned about does not help in the slightest. npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 @nprofile…aske Is he going to be ok? npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 Global logistics is very confusing from the perspective of someone sitting at home with a map. npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 My name is John Chrichton.

If they don't already know the answer, how could they possibly know if what it said is true? npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 @nprofile…e4ry LLMs are models of language, they don't and can't process information, they just create answer-shaped responses. You could, perhaps, use one to identify articles that use certain words or phrases, but you'd still have to actually check that those articles do, in fact, use those words or phrases and then plot that data or whatever. Also a text search like grep could do it without the extraordinary energy use and unethical training practices. npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 @nprofile…l56c Why? npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 Things not to get confused: npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 @nprofile…229w And then he's still slightly brain damaged for the entirety of the next movie (though he does show some improvement). Honestly, slight brain damage is a pretty good result of being all the way dead for several days. npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 @nprofile…0ehr I want it to list all the times this has happened in the last two centuries, but then it would get very difficult to read. Like capturing escaped slaves, rounding up people of Japanese descent in 1940s USA, arresting and prosecuting anyone with socialist connections in 1950s USA, etc. npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 @nprofile…dfpj I wonder why they'd say it doesn't work with nvidia.

Sure, it's full of scams and electronics that certainly haven't passed the regulatory codes of your country and the reviews are mostly of the quality of "came fast, haven't tried it yet, five stars", but you come across the absolute *oddest* products. npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 @nprofile…yn4q It'll be a pleasantly cool, autumn day in hell when I pay for SaaS.

Looks like the 3D printer probe that doesn't officially support delta printers but I mostly got working anyway (it would cause the MCU to time out about half the time) just got an update that hard-codes rectangular beds. This makes it completely impossible for me to get it working without writing a bunch of python, a language I've barely used, into a project In not at all familiar with (meaning I'd poetically need to read the whole codebase to understand). 😫 npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 @nprofile…uclz What does that make the clergy? npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 Does the rental cost include the bin chickens or are they extra? npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 If you want me to drive slower, try tailgating me. npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 @nprofile…v94l Maybe it's just my history of touching computers, or perhaps my autism, but I have never-ever-ever felt that an automated system has conversed in a way that works. An automated menu system is one thing, because it has a very clear method to interact with it (choose X for X) and it's actually designed by a human who knows what the potential options are. I've tried voice controls since the late 90s (Mac System 7), but they've *always* been worse than literally every other option. npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 @nprofile…v94l Computers process information, which is similar to, but distinct from, thoughts. Computers are used to process LLMs, but an LLM is a model and, theoretically, could exist without computers (they just make them a lot easier to do). LLMs are a toy, they're not even a tool, and they're even less useful than Easy-Bake ovens which *can* function as incredibly shitty ovens, whereas LLMs don't even come close to being bad at what people want them to do. npub17ncz3cjddwqfrjp2l2vd5ypf7y084hw7exnjshvph0rvpxpy5geq0qpjv5 npub17n…qpjv5 @nprofile…nydn They're attacking the hero.
