Last Notes npub1uj4vyv0xulrvynl9n0sqqvk9qtt8qedczg9tg4t2ftr9mwh8pllsqq2mpc Chris Laprun @npub1ept…jcl3 they won’t because they always hope they can get away with more npub1uj4vyv0xulrvynl9n0sqqvk9qtt8qedczg9tg4t2ftr9mwh8pllsqq2mpc Chris Laprun I’ve got a cat-shaped hole in my heart for this #Caturday (and many others to come). npub1uj4vyv0xulrvynl9n0sqqvk9qtt8qedczg9tg4t2ftr9mwh8pllsqq2mpc Chris Laprun @npub1437…ranm That's why I called it generative AI and not simply AI… but you're right, maybe it doesn't even deserve to have AI in its title at all… npub1uj4vyv0xulrvynl9n0sqqvk9qtt8qedczg9tg4t2ftr9mwh8pllsqq2mpc Chris Laprun Generative AI epitomizes the worse tendencies of our current society. It’s simply not worth the cost and only benefits a minority when the majority is paying the cost in terms of environmental, societal and mental wellness impacts. npub1uj4vyv0xulrvynl9n0sqqvk9qtt8qedczg9tg4t2ftr9mwh8pllsqq2mpc Chris Laprun @npub1vs8…54zy now you have to give an example of such paper! 😁 npub1uj4vyv0xulrvynl9n0sqqvk9qtt8qedczg9tg4t2ftr9mwh8pllsqq2mpc Chris Laprun @npub1vs8…54zy that's a real one? I don't even understand what it's trying to make me do! 🤦♂️ npub1uj4vyv0xulrvynl9n0sqqvk9qtt8qedczg9tg4t2ftr9mwh8pllsqq2mpc Chris Laprun @npub1vs8…54zy dang, I saw it do the rounds before and I noped hard. I might have to read it now… npub1uj4vyv0xulrvynl9n0sqqvk9qtt8qedczg9tg4t2ftr9mwh8pllsqq2mpc Chris Laprun @npub14fs…qegk I'd rather they draft the best available player instead of reaching for a QB… npub1uj4vyv0xulrvynl9n0sqqvk9qtt8qedczg9tg4t2ftr9mwh8pllsqq2mpc Chris Laprun @npub1vs8…54zy I admire your dedication! It's also somewhat ironic that his book is available for free on this platform 😁 npub1uj4vyv0xulrvynl9n0sqqvk9qtt8qedczg9tg4t2ftr9mwh8pllsqq2mpc Chris Laprun @npub1vs8…54zy should I ask why you're reading Adam Smith? :) npub1uj4vyv0xulrvynl9n0sqqvk9qtt8qedczg9tg4t2ftr9mwh8pllsqq2mpc Chris Laprun @npub1vs8…54zy as should be! npub1uj4vyv0xulrvynl9n0sqqvk9qtt8qedczg9tg4t2ftr9mwh8pllsqq2mpc Chris Laprun @npub1vs8…54zy I like how you said « his » balcony. 😁 npub1uj4vyv0xulrvynl9n0sqqvk9qtt8qedczg9tg4t2ftr9mwh8pllsqq2mpc Chris Laprun @npub1vs8…54zy considering a move to hachyderm.io but I’ve been too busy / lazy to figure out what that entails npub1uj4vyv0xulrvynl9n0sqqvk9qtt8qedczg9tg4t2ftr9mwh8pllsqq2mpc Chris Laprun @npub1vs8…54zy I'm sure this has nothing to do with MacKinsey! 😅 npub1uj4vyv0xulrvynl9n0sqqvk9qtt8qedczg9tg4t2ftr9mwh8pllsqq2mpc Chris Laprun @npub1sk4…d83s it me! 😂 npub1uj4vyv0xulrvynl9n0sqqvk9qtt8qedczg9tg4t2ftr9mwh8pllsqq2mpc Chris Laprun @npub1scr…teus I thought it was better than it used to? npub1uj4vyv0xulrvynl9n0sqqvk9qtt8qedczg9tg4t2ftr9mwh8pllsqq2mpc Chris Laprun @npub1typ…c8hh @npub120w…6rfp I understand the frustration on the creators’ part but let’s be honest, automatic downloads are a huge waste of resources and should indeed be turned off by providers. Also, if you haven’t listened to 5 episodes in a row, you probably don’t care all that much about that podcast so why download the episodes automatically? npub1uj4vyv0xulrvynl9n0sqqvk9qtt8qedczg9tg4t2ftr9mwh8pllsqq2mpc Chris Laprun @npub1vs8…54zy enjoy! npub1uj4vyv0xulrvynl9n0sqqvk9qtt8qedczg9tg4t2ftr9mwh8pllsqq2mpc Chris Laprun @npub1vs8…54zy 😿 npub1uj4vyv0xulrvynl9n0sqqvk9qtt8qedczg9tg4t2ftr9mwh8pllsqq2mpc Chris Laprun @npub1vs8…54zy thank you, wasn’t aware of this event. npub1uj4vyv0xulrvynl9n0sqqvk9qtt8qedczg9tg4t2ftr9mwh8pllsqq2mpc Chris Laprun @npub1vs8…54zy ¡claro que sí! npub1uj4vyv0xulrvynl9n0sqqvk9qtt8qedczg9tg4t2ftr9mwh8pllsqq2mpc Chris Laprun @npub1vs8…54zy Thanks, I had indeed been wondering, though the link 404’s, proper link is: https://adoptium.net/blog/2023/09/temurin21-delay/ npub1uj4vyv0xulrvynl9n0sqqvk9qtt8qedczg9tg4t2ftr9mwh8pllsqq2mpc Chris Laprun @npub1s97…lg0g well, to be fair, these things rarely work if you don't touch them (or put the card very close at least, and who's got time to make sure the card doesn't touch at all but still put it close enough?) npub1uj4vyv0xulrvynl9n0sqqvk9qtt8qedczg9tg4t2ftr9mwh8pllsqq2mpc Chris Laprun @npub1psd…9sr7 @npub1g3j…k5cu @npub1dme…ch6s one could argue that it’s pretty much the same for anything that is bound by capitalistic imperatives: you have to keep selling more, you can’t really let good enough alone… and sameness doesn’t sell, you have to have “new” features or at least visible changes, so sometimes it’s just changes for the sake of change, not because it fixes / improves on anything… npub1uj4vyv0xulrvynl9n0sqqvk9qtt8qedczg9tg4t2ftr9mwh8pllsqq2mpc Chris Laprun @npub1psd…9sr7 @npub1g3j…k5cu @npub1dme…ch6s totally agree and I say that as a software engineer… our job, as software engineers, should be to make software as transparent as possible, a comfortable tool that people forget about. Users should feel like superheroes using your code. npub1uj4vyv0xulrvynl9n0sqqvk9qtt8qedczg9tg4t2ftr9mwh8pllsqq2mpc Chris Laprun @npub1vs8…54zy it looks like it already is npub1uj4vyv0xulrvynl9n0sqqvk9qtt8qedczg9tg4t2ftr9mwh8pllsqq2mpc Chris Laprun @npub1ept…jcl3 being a Republican is disqualifying to start with in my book… I’d say I don’t have skin in the game, not being a US citizen and all, but, unfortunately, these days, who the next US president will be, is quite relevant to the world at large. npub1uj4vyv0xulrvynl9n0sqqvk9qtt8qedczg9tg4t2ftr9mwh8pllsqq2mpc Chris Laprun @npub1vs8…54zy I heard about him last week, actually, via https://slate.com/culture/2023/08/oliver-anthony-rich-men-north-of-richmond-billy-bragg.html npub1uj4vyv0xulrvynl9n0sqqvk9qtt8qedczg9tg4t2ftr9mwh8pllsqq2mpc Chris Laprun @npub1euz…2t93 these boots are great! npub1uj4vyv0xulrvynl9n0sqqvk9qtt8qedczg9tg4t2ftr9mwh8pllsqq2mpc Chris Laprun @npub1e7v…flg9 how does that even work? Wouldn’t it be obvious that the one on camera is not the who talks? npub1uj4vyv0xulrvynl9n0sqqvk9qtt8qedczg9tg4t2ftr9mwh8pllsqq2mpc Chris Laprun @npub1vs8…54zy what are the objectives? npub1uj4vyv0xulrvynl9n0sqqvk9qtt8qedczg9tg4t2ftr9mwh8pllsqq2mpc Chris Laprun @npub1gfd…7gg6 @npub16le…pcp2 I don’t think it makes sense for them to keep non-replaceable battery designs… so I think it’s a win for everyone!
