https://social.lol/@triptych/116276727579512933 To be less of a downer, I want to pin this reply thread on this post as it contains links to indie websites and communities that continue to live on. It’s not just nostalgia; even amongst the next generation, there’s growing enthusiasm for slow tech.

@bmac@jawns.club @raganwald@social.bau-ha.us it was the era that gave us Wikipedia, Mozilla, and the Internet Archive. There definitely was a trend of philanthropy amongst the Silicon Valley capitalists that’s just not there anymore

I’m so overwhelmed with juggling Things, my Calendar, Obsidian, Apple Notes, and even Apple Reminders, that I have to start fresh with something that combines it all. NotePlan fits that bill https://noteplan.co

The core tenant that is driving AI to swallow the world (data, computing infrastructure, and other resources) is the 2019 “bitter lesson” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitter_lesson

And an image recognition model AlexNet was what validated that principle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Krizhevsky?wprov=sfti1#Legacy

It’s already wildly unscalable to have an LLM continuously generate code. You want to carry over that fundamental flaw to end consumers with “generative UI?” Get fucking real

Before LLMs, you had the problem of some devs who didn’t bother to dive deep or think through their assignment; they just wanted to quickly submit code that got the job done.

After LLMs, this problem has compounded exponential. Why bother checking the 100s of lines it spat out? The app works!

My biggest source of skepticism with the Claude Code hype coming from devs is they simply don’t compare the LLM fixing their problem against their *own* attempt at fixing a problem.

Did the AI truly find the root cause? Did it pick the optimal solution or did it add incidental complexity?

@mirabilos I could be wrong, but the 2010s is when the internet became so normalized in the US that you had to be in abject poverty to not have it. Like I had a friend who wasn’t online until he was in high school in the 2000s

Fucking finally

The one thing about my 16 laptop that ended up being an endless support thread with Framework is now no more

Cause like, programmers base their profession on the academic tradition of Computer Science. AI devs don’t even pretend to have reverence for the study of Machine Learning. They base their practice purely on hype and vibes

RE: @arroz@mastodon.social

Repeating what Benn Jordan said on Bluesky in response to the news of this idiotic nativist decision: “This is precisely how a government sets up the framework to install a backdoor, create a firewall, and switch off the internet when it's convenient for them.”

@arroz wait really? Lisbon is car-infested? I assumed it was walkable and offered a good transit network like every other European city. The comparison to California grows more apt.

I thought I lost this box! OSX Leopard still remains one of the most exciting and beautiful OS I’ve ever seen. Even the CD box for it was a beaut

Since I was a teenager, my whole struggle with coding was trying to wade through the layers of misdirection to get at the heart of what these machines were *physically* doing. With that knowledge I felt capable of doing wondrous things with computers.

LLMs have only worsen this obfuscation

@anildash@me.dm the closest workaround is the authenticate with Apple Watch setting, but even that option has a noticeable delay :blob_pensive:
