Here you can see how the plant benefits from the hummingbird. As the bird reaches in for the nectar, it brushes against the bloom and the pollen gets stuck to its feathers, later to be scattered elsewhere nearby.

I love this type of LLM "instruction" that you find when prompts get leaked: "Do not hallucinate". Like, *that's* been the problem. We just keep forgetting to tell them not to hallucinate. So silly!

OSS *can* be software in the public interest, but it doesn't inculcate that value in every community. I wonder if this is why the JS ecosystem became fundamentally selfish and incurious about impacts on users 🤔🤔🤔

A question came into focus for me yesterday: is the success of Open Source for early-in-career folks building portfolios a contributor to frontend's ethical dessication?
OSS is "software for me, incidentally for thee"; does introducing that ethos to young programmers keep us from driving home the lesson that when you get paid to write code, your responsibilities are to users and customers?

But like @thephd alludes to: when you lay off your devs you loose organizational knowledge. It basically starts a clock in my experience, two years down the line most no longer have the knowledge inside the company to maintain the product anymore. The first period runs on inertia and just needing to make small changes, two years out there are always architectural changes needed. Unfortunately the distance in time from layoff to “legacy system” means management never sees them in context.

Mastodon FeedIn another brilliant branding and strategic move, Google that "invested heavily in embedding Google Cast technology into millions of TV devices" is dropping the Cast tech and replacing the "Chromecast with Google TV" with a "Google TV Streamer".
I can't wait for it to be killed next year in favor of "Google AI Nest TV (original)"

And thanks to a comment from @olm_e, I think I managed to track down the song in the boosted video. It's from "Zero Gravity (Above and Beyond Remix)" by Jean-Michel Jarre and Tangerine Dream.

(Sometimes I can't let these songs go until I find the source. No. It's not a problem. Why do you ask?)

- I understand your new angle is this “western values/ christian family man” thing but it's such a weird choice. You are not a family man, you are a serial adulterer who won't stop fucking lying about your own children. You are not a christian, as far as I'm aware you've never stepped foot in a church. You are not some “bastion for equality/progress”. You called arabic the “language of the enemy” when | was 6, have been sued for discrimation multiple times, and are from Apartheid South Africa. You are not “saving the planet”, you do not give a fuck about climate change and you're lying about multi-planetary civilization as both an excuse, and because you want to seem like the CEO from Ready Player One. I would mention the birth rate stuff, but I am not touching that weird 14-words breeder shit with a ten foot pole. You single-handedly disillusioned me with how gullible we are as a species because somehow people keep believing you for reasons that continue to evade me. (remote)

Out of everything in life possibly the one thing that most resembles a mechanic from a pen and paper RPG is taking a shower. You may take one shower per day and during the shower the solution to one Problem will simply spontaneously present itself to you. You can take multiple showers in the same 24 hour period if you like, but the effect will not stack
