Congratulations to Mr Brand and his future position in the Trump administration.

Oh no, him trying to find his favorite Bible verse with Piers Morgan was a kind of fresh hell I didn’t know existed.

But then the innocent knife will get Gonorrhea.

That was such a cautious click but I am so glad I did.

I suspected this would drag on for ages, having such a quick verdict was a big relief.

Oh beat me to it!

But yeah Brand always had these weird, creepy vibes and my wife was particularly switched on to that as well. She never trusted him from day one.

Debian the foundation of the modern world. Or at least we wish it was.

A situations like this makes me use a form of Malapropism one would expect of a Dickensian society to bring about almost Orwellian situation. Makes you wonder when someone will use Chekhov’s Gun before it all gets Bowdlerized. Alas this Machiavellian paragraph is reminiscent of a Lovecraftian creature.

But seriously, that paragraph above reads like the scene in Blackadder when they meet the writer of the Dictionary.

Only works if local models cannot do it.

I have softened very VERY slightly on AI code. If it can identify genuine issues than that is fine. It is when folks just trust it blindly and just send 50 commits without understanding a thing or even remotely testing it, that is just crazy. But then on the flip side, yeah all the other issues probably aren’t worth it.

It is complicated at times but then things like this always are. The most successful evil always has some claim to virtue.

Alas, occasionally you have to walk with the devil to achieve some good. One just has to weigh up if it is worth it.

I once asked Stallman about how he used to build and run GNU tools before having the Linux kernel. He was using a proprietary Minix system as a means to get work done until there was a better alternative. I mean running a proprietary system is one thing, burning through the amazon with 100 quintillion tokens is very different.

There are folks in the occult space that think LLM’s are possessed by evil spirits. Yeah, I know, make of that what you will.

BUT, when I see folks at the top and the way they talk about this stuff, my rational mind kind of wavers and you see people who are just completely and totally absorbed with these things. Maybe them occult folks are on to something. 🙃

Scary to see, it is like alzheimer’s disease in how it eats away at the persons autonomy below but unlike that disease, it still maintains enough cognition for them to be functional in society. For better or worse.

I use Trisquel, one of the FSF approved distros. So far it seems to have held up well against a lot of the less inviting changes in the Linux space, but it is based on Ubuntu. I do wonder how much longer it will hold up until I end up making the jump to a BSD system. Not the fault of the developers, just that the flow of the base system is too strong to fight against forever.

Hey Stephen, hold your breath… trans people have breathed that air before you. ;)

To be fair, the first season TNG is a little unsteady on its feet. For instance, Picard was depicted as being a lot more stubborn and rigid in his ways but ended up with a lot more nuance after a little bit.

Oh all the Trump ghouls, Miller is the one that I would fear the most. Far to cold and calculating in how he can inflict the most pain on others.

As the old Frank Zappa line went “They look after no 1, you ain’t even no 2.”

I had not heard of it but will check it out. Thanks for the recommendation.

Live your life as an inverse Altman. What ever he says, do the opposite.

We cannot allow this kind of clear thinking here.

The whole Patriot missiles being purchased directly form the US is because they cannot allow others to provide them far cheaper. Its not about protection, it is the middle taking their cut.
