New snippet:

“””I havent had time to review yet. I've been flooded by a wave of AI generated PRs.”””

Handy. Recommended.

Hi All! We've got a Hack & Craft tonight from 8-10pm ET (technically tomorrow depending on your timezone 0:00-2:00 UTC). I hope you'll join us: https://fossandcrafts.org/hack-and-craft/

I've finally gotten around to adding rounded trim to my sewing desks and staining them. At tonight's H&C I'll be varnishing them!

Cya there! I'll be blender'ing, almost certainly!

(Logger.failuresHandled has a tiny bit of overhead that Logger.failureHandler can elide, at the expense of less expressive log messages, but hopefully any code _you_ are writing doesn't quite need to be that concerned with performance)

If you are ever doing

try:

except ...:
log.failure("...")

anywhere in your Twisted #Python code, you should probably be doing

with mylog.failuresHandled("while doing operation"):
operation()

instead

there is something appropriate in having a day which memorializes both procrastination and book reading

One thing about the USPS's apparent acceptance of NC's first batch of ballots: this creates a new fact in the case that's probably going to be helpful to the plaintiffs (for this election). The USPS has now accepted "non compliant" ballot mailings for some voters. (And compliance is effectively impossible at this point).

If the USPS later starts refusing ballots, SOME voters will have been allowed to receive mail ballots, while others will have been denied them.

(I realize "ClimateGPT" is not OpenAI, but, presumably if you're training ANOTHER model, BEYOND the investment of what the frontier labs are doing, then it ought to be BETTER for its specialized uses, not just a sad also-ran knockoff of something that already doesn't work quite right, which seems to be where this is landing.)

anyhow, no, it's not "neat", at the level of civilizational investment we have made in this stuff it should be DEVASTATINGLY accurate, just absolutely 100% trick-shot triple-S rank every single time. the fact that it's still faceplanting on every third query is a shocking indictment, the sort of thing that ought to lead to a congressional investigation, or at least some SEC prosecutions.

don't want to put the IA *too* much on blast (everyone's doing this) but this strikes me as a genre of booster-post that is particularly fascinating. "this trillion-dollar technology is right sometimes, and wrong sometimes. isn't that quriky and neat!"

Well, this is interesting! Sighted people in my life, some of them, are using software made for us such as #Paperback and stuff like #Fedra because they say they never have that visual bloat most software has today, and they like the speed of software like Paperback. Turns out sighted people *do* get tired looking at things. https://github.com/trypsynth/paperback #Books #Bookstodon #OpenSource

I honestly don't think we have enough infighting and standards on the left in the US. While AOC is galavanting with anti-trans extremists, part of the DSA is campaigning to convince her to run for president in 2028.

Which, even if she's less bad than alternatives, feels like a bad use of our time.

Lest you think dental health is small potatoes it's the number one reason kids miss school in NYC. Because of the toothaches.

It's really important. And there are complex questions to show you can answer such as: do you cover implants or are those just for rich people and the pleebs get dentures?

Just a thought.

Any #herpetology experts around? I caught this creature this morning inside our ground level apartment. (Set him free on our patio.) 34 yrs in #minnesota, mostly in a house, and we’ve never seen a #lizard indoors. Climate change? Or just our current ecosystem?

What genus/species? Salamander? (I’ve got no idea. Just guessing.) It’s about 8cm long.

society at large, especially popular culture, doesn't really tell people that

there's this process of grieving for the future we thought we were going to grow up into

just us personally, we're talking about our own feelings, but if you find this relevant to yours that's fine of course 💜

and we're not really done with that process, but, also

you know those "five stages of grief"? the last one is acceptance?

yeah some things should not be accepted. some things merit a lifetime of sustaining anger driving us to make them better.

time to light off some charcoal, & perhaps I’ll toss on some mesquite chips when the pan goes in
