lol, i hadn't realised DLSS5 was so bad. i mean i know it's all ridiculous, but i had foolishly assumed they would be sensible enough not to advertise it until they got rid of the obvious artifacting.

seeing another round of "don't favorite posts on fedi"

folks it is a kind and lovely thing to favorite someone's post and anyone who tells you not to be kind and lovely has told you something about themself

it's true that it doesn't particulary increase the distribution of your post but the idea that we're all here to get things distributed as far as possible is pretty weird

Considering making this into a blog post with a real bombastic headline like

"Can The MacBook Pro Save The World?"

Lolol. I mean, really lean into the inevitable accusation that I'm making Apple into a moral actor, instead of just pointing out that Apple's business strategy just so happens to be preventing a pretty terrible cloud-centric, centralized compute future.

And, and, and. We know what the PC market looks like when there isn't a competitive force to keep computational power on-device.

The gaming PC market.

Companies are pushing gaming to the cloud at breakneck speed. They've dumped billions into R&D to improve latency.

Now, you can *rent* a "gaming" thin-client for $20/month.

If Nvidia and the like can pusher *gamers* to the cloud, normies will be a breeze. The only thing stopping them is, imo, Apple (for now).

Folks, please be nice to BlueSky.

You don't want to be labelled as a critic, and kindly remember they are really decentralized and only took $100+ million in venture capital to improve the social web.

Last but not least, don't pay attention to the CEO responding to criticism by responding with "Are you paying us? Where?" followed up with "You could try a posters strike. I hear that works".

They are great. ATProto is the future. They aren't like other girls.

They care ❤️

A few months ago, after years of not accepting venture capital funding, @Gargron stepped down as CEO of Mastodon as part of Mastodon's becoming a not-for-profit.

A few days ago, Bluesky CEO Jay Graber stepped down and a few days later Bluesky announced that - surprise - we got a hundred milliion dollars in venture capital investment from a cryptocurrency company and that happened a full year ago but we were just too busy to mention it.

These two things are not the same at all.

My #Wikipedia request for comment just closed, finally banning #AI content in articles! "The use of LLMs to generate or rewrite article content is prohibited"

Kudos to all who participated in writing the guideline (especially Kowal2701) and the whole WikiProject AI Cleanup team, this was very much a group effort!

I will figure out a path to my own sharing of work, but it is sad to me to feel there is this intellectual community you need to have a FAANG credit card to be part of. That's just not how it should work and we will see the consequences of these structures quickly in who gets to be on stage. This isn't a call out of any single organization, I'm always really honored to be thought of, but it's hard for me to understand how you can sell $1000 tickets on our content and not support creators

I have been invited to but turned down 3 conferences talks already this year because they're told me it's new policy to not cover speaker travel under the assumption that your tech employer will cover it. I own my own small business as a researcher and my wife is an academic teaching professor, so I cannot ask my household to absorb that. I just want to generally observe that we are filtering the voices we're going to be able to hear from, with all this contraction

That feeling when you keep seeing "AI" fans talk about being systems-thinkers despite literally only thinking about all their problems from the perspective of a single individual: themselves.

Keep Compute Local. Decentralized Compute is Digital Sovereignty. Not down with OPP (Other People's Power). We taught rocks to think and all I got was this egress bill? My Other Computer Has a GPU. Honk if your computer works without WiFi.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'm starting The Centre For Decentralized Compute, or the CDC if you will. I am accepting donations.

No but for real, I think there should be some sort of organized opposition to centralizing computational power.

Also, maybe there should be more marketing around the idea of decentralized compute. All the elements for a great marketing campaign are there. You have a cause people would care about. An enemy. Urgency. Someone get Framework on the horn.

well, this depends on how you define 'better'. i can make them more user friendly, but i can't do cool stuff like reading and writing to/from specific offsets in existing buffers without creating wrapper versions of 2/3 of bittricks.

so i have incredibly pointy and sharp bindings for chez that technically do the thing. i cannot make them better because chez seems to lack the support.

well i could write more c, but then i'm writing a special c library to work around the limitations of the language.
