I planted some vines out the front as an experiment to see if the sweet potato vines would grow well enough to stop the weeds.
Didn't expect to find the actual potatoes 9 months later though

Is this a dumping ground for whatever I'm enthusiastic about at the moment? Sure is!

@mstheasaurus@bne.social oh dear. The platform track didn't seem as bad for this but there's certainly been a strange vibe this year :/

Oops I blinked and 2h passed. Janky first attempt is on github though? Will add another layer soon to make it easier to run and save data to share to people
Appreciation post for mods and admins in the fediverse who make sure that gross crap that is the norm on other social media does not always need to be the norm here
Thanks for all the work ya'll do.
Determining how much my actual views on LLMs are safe to express in any given interaction certainly expends brain power.
@ChanceyFleet I will force :thinking: even on places that do not have it as a valid emoji. Also, :joy: but the text representation doesn't indicate that it looks like crying laughing

@Sablebadger if there's any random tips or particular things you are after, can see if I can find other tips in my network.
I play a lot of mtgo over arena nowadays because the quality of opponents is a lot better (except for the salty ones in chat)

@diazona@techhub.social @Talen_Lee@kind.social my theory is that either we will see something banned as an "early rotation" after this standard RC season, so like June. OR nothing will be banned in the name of "rotation will fix it"

Reminding me that we literally ordered a slab cake from Costco as our wedding cake and how unusual that is.
Just because you already made the thing you want with AI does not mean that we are going to staple it into production.
Questions like "why do we need this", "are there other solutions that have been considered" and "what is your plan for who is going to support this" are not optional just because you already spent half an hour prompting your proof of concept.

I've been going here since the previous job, when I would be "bribing" myself with coffee to study up on databases. Multiple talks have been written at this cafe

Search engine gives a bunch of AI SEO optimized garbage hallucinating settings you can turn off to disable AI search. I kinda hate not being able to trust anything I read anymore?
TIL that the nominal voltage in Australia (except WA) is 230V now. Apparently QLD was the one late to the party because they only finished changing from 240V in 2020

@DrCuriosity my partner certainly appreciated this meme as they are currently stuck in the same circle of hell (consecutive teams meetings)
Tips for surviving cognitive dissonance of working in a role that management would love to automate out of existence? Asking for a friend.
Now I have a giant tablet for reading textbooks on. Second hand but feels pristine to me. Traded some old tech and consoles in to get at a discount.
It was this size so I could read sheet music I download off the internet and it turned out that a tablet was better bang for buck than a big e-ink reader.
No pen included, but we will figure out as I go how to best use this.
Long sigh

At least if I can't get any new tech jobs for refusing to use AI, at least open source will have me?
TIL you can be vitamin D deficient even while living in QLD.
No I don't want to use the Claude skill thank you. Can I ask for a document explaining what you need me to do instead please
The cafe I used to lurk at to work from finally reopened under the new owners. It's much less a "home away from home" and moreof "generic cafe vibes" :(
And most importantly, no more comfy chairs
On the search for a new third place to lurk and work in still, sigh
Dang, Muse AI isn't available in Australia yet. I'll have to rely on the amusing output of other peoples' prompt injections to dump its codebase then

@coderanger@cloudisland.nz ooooh good call. Specialising as a consultant in clean-up crew for AI automated code could be a lucrative career pivot

@Artemis201@mstdn.social I kept staring at masters in CS as soon as I finished my undergrad haha. Scratching that itch at the moment via reading too many textbooks at the mom

@pj@theforkiverse.com well, there's no algorithm to drive down your post that links to a separate site :P So post away
