The post I could never publish on how LLM scaling and purchasing will likely collide in a bonfire of pension fund equity fueled by opaque financial instruments would *obviously* be titled "Token-Gnomics"

Sad I'll never get the chance.

i wrote a rust microkernel with a federation userspace layer where clusters of trusted machines quietly lend each other idle resources inspired by gift economics.

lend your spare capacity, earn the right to borrow. machines find each other automatically on the same network, bond by consent and shared keys, stay fully independent.

a solar machine lends freely at noon and pulls back at dusk. computation drifts toward wherever the cleanest cheapest energy is.

honestly, it's like everyone conveniently forgets you are supposed to review updates to your dependencies. who has time for that when you could be shipping?

i will say it again - dependencies are not free. do not just depend on a pile of stuff without reviewing it. this applies whether or not you are using an LLM, but i bet it gets even less attention from LLM users.

i wouldn't even ordinarily approve of this sort of thing, because it risks wrecking things for existing users, but i will make an exception for the dickheads that are completely ruining everything i used to love about FLOSS.

well, AI users sure are upset and they've been on a reporting spree trying to get jqwik booted off all the package repos and github.

if jqwik has to move to codeberg, i predict that won't be good news for github.

So, uh, I haven't... I haven't tried TikTok yet. I know, it's weird, I'm a grown-ass adult, and yet here we are.

I just spent like 30 minutes browsing TikTok and honestly it explains _so much_ about why... well, everything is just LIKE this, now.

it's... just wall-to-wall political misinformation, loud noises, boobs, kittens, AI slop, teenagers echoing white supremacist talking points, stunts, ads, get-rich-quick-schemes, it's like pure liquid USA

#Meme #Humour

A meme with the caption, "Still confused as to why I need to put my cake in the oven at 120 degrees". The image shows the inside of an oven. Resting on the wire rack is a clear plastic protractor. A rectangular foil baking pan containing cake batter is propped up against the protractor at exactly a 120-degree angle.

Today in Labor History May 31, 1927: Fred Trump, father Donald Trump, was arrested at a Ku Klux Klan rally in Queens, New York. The Long Island Daily Press reported that all the arrestees, including Trump, were wearing Klan robes. During his presidential campaign, Journalists asked Donald Trump about his father's arrest. He claimed "it never happened."

seeing files like .noai which include swearing (regardless of who is being sworn at) is not welcoming, as it sends a very clear message that aggressive and offsensive language is being allowed in the source files.

i wonder how jqwik is getting on

oh 😂

github issue: Add Ko-Fi link (or similar) to readme comment 1: I'd like to support the maintainers of this package to the tune of the cost of a coffee (and/or large bucket of popcorn). Could a Ko-Fi link or something similar be easily and reasonably set up? comment 2: Oh yeah, I'm sure the maintainer needs a lot of popcorn to read all the issue threads here

#AskFedi :boost_requested:​ A while ago someone boosted onto my feed a list of wiki projects that don't accept AI. Sort of, a wiki equivalent to the Slopfree Software List.

I can't remember the name or URL of this list and search isn't helping much. Does anyone have a link?

EDIT: Found it! https://git.average.name/1something/No-AI-Wikis/src/branch/trunk/No-AI%20Wikis.md

hey @jsbarretto my bestie bestie, here's 200 lines of terrifying lock free dysfuncode in a language you've probably never programmed before, could you please review it for correctness, particularly the fences? :blobfoxpleading:

seriously though, i would most appreciate it if you have the time :blobfoxheart:

it's heavily inspired by epoch based reclamation, but it isn't quite that. it's relatively straightforward and about as simple as i can reasonably make it - i think it's pretty neat, dare i even say elegant?

  • single writer copy on write
  • monotonically increasing transaction ids.
  • reclamation of pages is bounded by the lowest active transaction id.
  • up to 64 reader threads arranged over 8 shards
  • readers maintain their shard's conservative approximation of lowest active txid when updating their slot.
  • new readers recheck against the current transaction id to ensure consistency
  • writer takes min over the approximations.
  • monotonic is llvm-speak for relaxed

https://gist.github.com/jjl/5a1f4bb4f1f802b42abef6d2e973c77d

as an aside, you can probably guess where i'll be going next with this - each thread will have a local set of pinned tasks or whatever the fuck it is we use instead of them in zig. but that's much easier than this of course.

I wonder if it's a strategy for Google to flood a platform with traffic, wait a while until the company gets fat off the cream, then yank that traffic back and watch the company fold from the weight of its excess.

Edit: wondering if that's what they're doing to Reddit
