Corporations are just throwing AI at everything blindly and not even taking responsibility for it. 🙄

Bus Pirate 5 review

https://hackaday.com/2024/02/12/hands-on-bus-pirate-5/

There is a part of me that wants to go full darkside and start a flat earther youtube channel that uploads real looking but actually photoshopped proof the earth is flat.

Then just rake in millions and watch the world burn.

I just cant bring myself to fan that fire though.

My @matrix #Synapse home server is running for more than 1 year and a half on my @PINE64 #Quartz64 board without any issue.
It was initially supposed to be just an experiment, but it worked so well that I continued to use it until now!

Today, I decided to move it to a cloud server to make the maintenance easier, and to solve some issues on my home network (the Matrix traffic seem to overwhelm my poor little router).

Meet me on @JF:matrix.codingfield.com !

My #PhD thesis is now publicly available! Might be interesting if you're into #bayes, Gaussian processes, uncertainty, surrogates and decision making. Or it might not be interesting.

"What might come as a big surprise to those of us deeply embedded in academic culture is that what we have achieved doesn’t matter so much as what we are capable of doing. That tall stack of publications might have zero value outside academia, but all of the talents that we racked up in the process of producing those papers can be highly valuable."

The early software industry was nerds having a blast but the way it works these days, most workplaces for programmers are software factories. Contractor shops where the work is often meaningless and repetitive. If you're a programmer and you don't have a job like that, you're among the lucky ones, and should remain quiet.

How Small is #QuickJS JavaScript Engine?

@AmpBenzScientist I'm looking at working in healthcare. I've realised that my sharp mind can be applied toward a nobler goal than computers. I can understand people, places, objects and social relationships using the same analytical abilities that made me a good computer programmer, but with much more meaning.

@AmpBenzScientist Poor impulse control is modern name for following your heart, which has gone out of fashion.

@AmpBenzScientist It's easy enough to accommodate for those with low impulse control, but it tends to be unpopular with everybody else.
