@blair_fix Also, it can be explained by market efficiencies resulting from higher sales volume, no? Assuming your claim is that efficiency results in more use. I imagine a similar graph can be made for car sales vs fuel efficiency.

@GGMcBG @thomasfuchs Sundar is not an expert at AI. He's a manager. His role essentially is to manage the stock price.

@ramsey I don't even know if it was a decision :) I just get a 404 error message when I click "edit".

@ramsey My Mastodon instance/client doesn't allow editing posts, which is kind of a blessing.

@fox For context, I've tried something like 5 specialized note taking apps, but I always come back to Sublime because of the versatility and editing features (multi-line editing, transposing lines up and down). A big downside is that it has no multi-device sync, so I use Google Docs if I need that.
But great thread, I might try a few of the suggestions, thanks.

@fox Open unsaved tabs in Sublime. The stuff I want to keep goes into a git repository which I periodically commit and push to GitHub as backup.

I've just watched the #Amiga demo HAMazing by Desire and I want to say a few words about it. The first ones are: it's insane what hardware that's almost 40 years old could do. It blew my mind as a kid and rightly so.

The demo is all about leveraging HAM mode, which allowed you to display up to 4K colors simultaneously. Let me explain how that worked and how remarkable this demo is. 🧵 1/6

@saramg Its a measure of prosperity of the rentier class. Literally the less money people who work get, the more money rentiers extract.

@fox It can go the other way too, like when I visited my former primary school, which was much smaller :)

Seven years ago we lost our sweet Jacob to liver disease. Reading was his favorite activity. In his honor we do a book drive to support Georgetown Medical Center’s children’s department. Please contribute a book: amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/E570

@grmpyprogrammer Do you mean accepting advertising text from commercial entities as part of their training corpus, repeated to achieve ideal saturation?

I'm gonna stop going to the Sex McDonald's because they say they're just a regular McDonald's and you're not allowed to have sex there

Memory errors in consumer devices such as PCs and phones are not something you hear much about, yet they are probably one of the most common ways these machines fail.

I'll use this thread to explain how this happens, how it affects you and what you can do about it. But I'll also talk about how the industry failed to address it and how we must force them to, for the sake of sustainability. 🧵 1/17

Youngest calls me Daddy. I’m not super happy about it, and I am worried about it for summer activities, but it is what it is.

Recently, Youngest climbed onto a two person swing (one of the “horse” or “elephant-ear” style ones) with another kid and asked me to push the swing.

Other: “Where’s your dad?”
Youngest: “I have two moms!”
Other: “Is your dad dead!?”
Youngest: “No!”
Other: “But where’s your dad?”
Youngest, laughing at the absurdity: “I have TWO MOMS!”
Other: “… your mom is good at pushing.”

Sending logs from php to stdout inside a docker container you’d think would be easy and a solved problem. It’s definitely not. I’ve seen dozens of different and clever ways.

My tried and true method for the last few years has been to use the DIO extension.

After googling to see if anything changed in php to make it possible, one comment sent me down the dark path of FFI.

This little evil dirty disgustingly sly, and while proud of won’t use gist was the result. 😈
