New procrastination tactic: stand around frying tofu in a cast iron skillet while debating how to reply to an email.

But at least now I have some nice fried tofu squares for dinner.

Terminal programs bias to dark modes and explicit colors are hostile to light modes and themes. We now detect programs when they request colors too out of whack from your theme, apply some Oklab magic and hue rotation to match your theme. Harmonious themes, everywhere, always.

@cwebber I am that someone. a decade ago I was an academic hanging around with people who were into effective altruism, worried about existential risk and took Nick Bostrom seriously. Some of that group now work for anthropic, and some of us are on the fediverse.

People make mistakes, and one of the biggest mistakes people make is designing systems that only work when people make no mistakes.

A reality that I find increasingly tragic and frustrating about open software culture is that for the most part the people building the tools of oppression are kind of dumb, kind of incompetent people and companies that can only build or sell anything because open source software gives them a wealth of software they could never build themselves. The paradox of tolerance baked into the libertarian foundations of the FOSS movement is what’s making our oppression possible.

Knowing that today will be the first day I don’t close all my Apple Watch rings in years is surprisingly anxiety-inducing! It’s going to take me a bit to figure out the Way of the FitBit.

@zyd@yap.zyd.lol originally took it on himself to assemble a list of Lisps that accept (or don’t accept) LLM contributions <https://zyd.lol/lisp-against-the-machine.html>. However, he’s no longer responsive and things did change (for the better!) in the landscape. So I took a risk and re-hosted his list on my website:

https://aartaka.me/lisp-against-the-machine.html

Please ping me whenever you learn something about new state of Lisp implementations regarding LLMs. I’ll (hopefully) update the list.

Once @zyd@sup.zyd.lol returns, I’ll delete this and contribute to his list instead!

Please share with your fellow Lispers, as Merveilles rules don’t allow me to post about AI on public timeline.

I have just been informed by Dayjob that my position is being eliminated. They aren't punting me out the door immediately, they're at least giving me 60 days' notice, but they are nonetheless punting me out the door.

So joy oh glee, I get to go back on the job market. 😩 And try to find whatever few positions may remain in tech that a) involve as little AI bullshit as possible, b) will let me work remote, and c) are actually willing to hire a worker within shouting distance of 60.

Pet peeve: Expressing an opinion that a vague, hypothetical someone committing an act that happens to be illegal isn't fedposting.

I just think it'd be funny if it happened.
