@toxy@mastodon.acc.sunet.se @mgorny@social.treehouse.systems Possibly Mate? I haven't found any obvious slop commits, but I also haven't found any sign of an explicit policy regarding slop.

Just finished a skill test for a prospective employer and the automated report at the end said I'm in the top 1% of test-takers. Got full marks for the python, JavaScript, SQL, and a couple of other sections. Lost a few marks on the DevOps section but nothing drastic. I have a slight suspicion I lost a mark for answering `git checkout -b` where the expected answer was probably `git branch -c`.
The "Seek" app by iNaturalist is telling me "You observed a new species! Uliodon albopunctatus"
Kiddo the Younger just asked me to teach her violin but my initial attempt was a bit hampered by the fact that once my violin is under her chin she can't reach the fingerboard.
T.I.L. thunix.net is in the process of shutting down so I had to very quickly ssh in and run `migrate-me` so I can resume/continue using my primary email address when the merge with tilde.club completes.

A while ago I did a particularly good job of petting one of them while he was leaning over my left elbow and now he always wants to lean over my left elbow.

@tech_prole tilde.club is staying, it's just getting a bunch of new members because thunix.net is merging with it.

@hipsterelectron yeah it wasn't a trivia test: that particular question was a "fill the blanks in this fairly realistic workflow" question and the automated result is just preliminary before an actual human has another look.

@whatevs@mastodon.scot @pheonix@hachyderm.io Spotify used to give me the distinct impression that it thought all Chinese music was interchangeable.

@katt When my dad was a university student he went out at 3am and painted a pedestrian crossing. The city council had it removed a couple of days later, but received so many complaints that they put it back.

@pulkomandy @mmu_man there are vague instructions for cross-compiling GHC at https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/wikis/building/cross-compiling which I will attempt to follow when I have time.

@niedlichenacktschnecke@kolektiva.social @xgranade@wandering.shop Kind of a mix of ii and iv: in that there's nothing that does it super well and the best options use transformer models but much smaller ones than what's getting hyped these days.

@slightlyoff@toot.cafe I found that even when I was working for another company that makes smartphones.

@maegul@hachyderm.io @lynnesbian@fedi.lynnesbian.space yeah it wasn't a UI problem it was a set of bugs that were only triggered by the existence of a toot which that much text.

@chrisisgr8 I am already working on cool shit but the problem is only one person gives me money because of it and he's broke too.

@mh@mastodon.sdf.org @sjvn@mastodon.social self-driving cars are at least something that would be useful if they actually existed. (I'd say it's not even that mysterious how one could actually be made but getting it right is easier said than done)
Replying to
@maegul@hachyderm.io @lynnesbian@fedi.lynnesbian.space they don't need to be anywhere as low as they are but we also don't want people putting the entire bible in a toot (actually happened, caused a bunch of problems)

@sitharus @pearofdoom I put an Alpine Linux emulator on my phone and rapidly discovered that I'd been a fool to ever try using an iPhone without it. But also: I discovered that on my main computer the systemd thing you're supposed to use instead of chroot works fine on a copy of the emulator's file tree.

@gothytim@tech.lgbt @superflippy@mastodon.xyz @janellecshane@wandering.shop either coincidence or just not altering the training data being regurgitated enough to make it wrong.

@valid_pony Sounds more like a thoroughbred name than a pony one, but technically valid.

@reallyflygreg @DavidM_yeg @nblr @griffin30007 Also there's no reason to prevent using both battery types at once as long as they're connected in parallel not in series.

@mctwist@social.accum.se @cameron_bosch@floss.social Among the few decisions I've agreed with Microsoft on recently is apparently they're planning to remove a lot of the stuff needed for most implementations of kernel-level DRM to exist.

@zhksh@sigmoid.social @xgranade@wandering.shop Google Translate has peaked and is declining in quality but the peak was very much after they stopped using statistical machine translation.

@cstross@wandering.shop One of my parents' friends knew Gary Larson's mother pretty well but AFAIK never met Gary himself.
Sometimes when I'm in LambdaMOO I accidentally type `ls` when I mean `inventory`.

@scherzog@mastodon.gamedev.place @crazyeddie@mastodon.social @lina@vt.social also some of the newish features in C++ are just rust features with runtime costs instead of compile time ones.

@anubis2814 @Rushkoff this time last year I planned to just log out permanently and leave my data taking up space on their servers. I recently changed my mind and decided to download my data and delete my account. The download is prepped but when I noticed it my computer was booted into an OS that doesn't have a sufficiently up to date web browser to actually download it so I'll be carrying out the rest of my plan tomorrow.

@Mimesatwork Where I live in New Zealand the city council's strategy is something like this:
Step 1: Remove public toilets from the city centre so no-one goes there unless they have to.
Step 2: Petition the national government to create more reasons people might have to go to the city centre.

@oxi@chaos.social @xgranade@wandering.shop Also GANs are usually much less resource intensive than the stuff getting hyped these days.

@irix@cloudisland.nz @acollierastro@mastodon.social I have a hunch just one but only in one of a very specific set of orbits. But I'll have a look at the video for the actual answer this evening.
