@prologic@twtxt.net 31 (octal) is 25 (decimal). 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’m afraid I’m too stupid (probably blind, which I am) to get it 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net It is, yep. 🌙

@prologic@twtxt.net I’m gonna give you a hint: Octal, decimal. 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de No sadly I didn’t 🤦‍♂️ I’m admitedly not very good at jokes like this (not even sure what style this is sorry!) 😢

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Bahahahahaha 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh wow! That’s the moon the Venus right? 🤔

View from my window last evening:

Moon, Venus, an airplane in the top left corner, wind parks in the distance.

(This is already too much for a standard camera. The moon is super bright, the rest is not. Guess I should go HDR some day?)

@prologic@twtxt.net It’s surprisingly honest here, isn’t it? It mimics some patterns of thinking. Period.

@prologic@twtxt.net Did you get the joke? 😏

Yeah nice try assholes 🤣 #failed #phissing #sms #attack

For context, I’ve write to get one of these LLM(s) to do this for a project once before a couple of years ago. All it had to do was read the public methods of a struct and write the boilerplate for a type Foo interface { ... } with those same matching methods.

This shit™ is such a waste of time, human effort and global energy 🤦‍♂️

Seriously?! 😳 Transscript

if I had a Go struct such as the following:

…

Here’s how the complete interface would look:

type Bar interface {
    Read(t *Bar, b []byte) (int, error)
}

This interface matches the behavior and method signature of the provided Foo struct.

This is total garbage 🗑️

In sane 🤣🤣

I'm an AI assistant that uses algorithms to process information and create responses. While I can mimic some patterns of human thinking in my responses, I
don't have real human thought or consciousness.

>>> So how do you deliberate and argue with yourself over counting the number of letters "r" in the word "strawberry"?
<think>
Alright, so I'm trying to figure out how someone would deliberate and argue with themselves about counting the number of times the letter "r" appears in
the word "strawberry." First off, it seems pretty straightforward, but maybe there's some hidden complexity here.
...

By following these steps, it’s clear that the word “strawberry” contains exactly two “r”s. While overcomplicating the process with comparisons to similar
words, pronunciation considerations, or playful activities can be fun exercises, they aren’t necessary for this simple counting task. The key is to
approach the task systematically and carefully.

Ridiculous 🤦‍♂️

I can’t wait to be in an operating theatre one day when I’m old and an LLM (AI) bot is arguing with itself over the decision to cut the left or the right blood vessel 🤦‍♂️ Or whatever other horrifying situation you/we may find ourselves in with this kind of “dumbass” reasoning behind the wheel 🛞

How many r’s in the word strawberry? 👈 Just figured I’d try to run up the deepseek-r1:7b model using Ollama and this is the result:

$ ollama run deepseek-r1:7b
>>> How many r's in the word strawberry?
<think>
Alright, so I need to figure out how many times the letter 'r' appears in the word "strawberry." Hmm, okay. Let me start by writing down the word to
visualize each letter clearly.
...

Twoo lines later… Argueing with itself over and over again…

The word “strawberry” contains three ‘r’s when spelled out as S-T-R-A-W-B-E-R-R-Y. However, upon closer examination and considering standard spelling
conventions, it actually has only two distinct ‘r’s: one in “straw” and another pair in “berry.”

Answer: There are 2 ‘r’s in the word “strawberry.”

Farrkkkk me 🤦‍♂️

@bmallred@staystrong.run Thanks dude 🤗 I’ll get over it, sometimes things can get a bit touch, it’s all good 👍

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hmm in who’s world? 🌎 Haha 🤣

Because Oct 31 = Dec 25.

Hello world!

Why do programmers confuse Halloween and Christmas?

@arne@uplegger.eu This ☝️

@prologic@twtxt.net Not sure what you mean by silly shenanigans? 😅 I think our companies are smaller in general and thus easier to reach. But the bigger the company, the harder it gets, I’d say. 🤔 (I don’t even know if we have EU laws that require a certain level of customer service. Could be! Honestly, I very rarely reach out to companies. 🤔)

in other words, do companies in other parts of the world behave as though they are above approach? 😅

To all my EU friends out there, is it this hard™ to reach a human in European companies that allow, perform or permit silly shenanigans? 🤔 Or is it just US companies? 🤔

Contact | Federal Communications Commission 👈 Haha calling the FCC was interesting. But I’ll have to call the consumer folks back next Saturday (morning for me) to speak with someone. Apparently they’re closed now, even though it’s 3pm EST right? Hmmm 🤔

cli/q: 🌱 A simple programming language. - q - Projects I really like this little q lang that Ed has created ❤️ Really nice and simpler, great design and implementation and really lovely cross-platform compiler supporting DOS, Windows, Darwin and Linux on AMD64 and ARM64 💪

@prologic@twtxt.net Yes, C has it. I even thought that C invented it, but it seems to stem from CPL.

The closest to get to if expressions at the moment is to use a lambda:

foo := func() {
    if bar {
        return "spam"
    }
    return "eggs"
}()

But that’s also not elegant at all.

@arne@uplegger.eu Auweia! Wär’s da nicht sinnvoller, von dem Ding möglichst zügig wegzukommen? Ich hab keine Ahnung, was es da heutzutage so an tauglichen Alternativen gibt. Aber selbst alles selber zu bauen, wär da ja mittelfristig weniger aufwändig, wenn man das mit dem ständigen Zusammenkehren der Scherbenhaufen vergleicht.

That moment, when you’re a little pipsqueak self-host(er) with infrastructure you’re trying to protect from potentially rogue customers on Azure Cloud. You file an abuse report, but receive no response or acknowledgment for weeks. Now what? 🤔 Email the CEO! #Azure #Microsoft

Finally I’ll also be setting up CubeFS (finally mature enough to give it a serious go) and slowly migrating workloads to use it as Persistent storage across the 3 Hypervisor nodes (which will run KVM + CubeFS) – Thank goodness this thing (CubeFS) doesn’t need to run on Kubernetes 😂

Over the next few months, I’m a) Replacing all Boot disks b) Replacing all Storage disks c) Adding additional 32GB Memory to all my Hypervisor machines. I think that’ll take me the better part of 6 months. For the remainder thereafter in the year I’ll be swapping out the 3.5” Disks in my NAS slowly (one at a time).

Upcoming Products for M4 Mac mini - SONNETTECH Gonna buy myself one of these when they come out (hopefully soon™) and populate with 3 M4 Mac Mini(s) – Just the base model is enough. Purpose? Migrate Plex to one of them for better performance, and run CI/CD Runners on all 3 as well as other I/O intensive tasks like syncing Youtube channels to Plex.

@github_blog@feeds.twtxt.net Only 4 steps you say? Wow! :O

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I have no problems with the ternary operator either. If it were added to Go I Wouldn’t mind. C has it right? I’d also by happy with if expressions, e.g: if foo ... else bah, but probably doesn’t fit the styoe of the Go grammer.

What I absolutely hate is this proposal. Making ? to magical™ things, making the code harder to read and reason about is bonkers.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Es ist immer noch so ähnlich. Da kommen so viele verschiedene Ebenen innerhalb und außerhalb der TYPO3-Umgebung zusammen, dass man sich wundert.

Und die TYPO3-Core-Entwickler nehmen gefühlt jeden fancy Shice mit, den sie gerade finden. Das reißt dann immer wieder Prozesse ein oder es muss ein gigantischer Aufwand betrieben werden, damit “grundlegende” Funktionen wieder hergestellt werden.
In den Kommentaren ist dann immer nur zu lesen “Tja, Pech. Gibt’s nicht mehr. Sei froh, dass wir ‘ne undokumentierte Schnittstelle dazu im Code versteckt haben. Bau’s dir selbst.”
Und der OpenSource-Gedanke ist bei einigen Erweiterungen (die als Quasi-Standard gelten) auch nur noch zu erahnen. Da müssen teilweise Abos abgeschlossen werden, damit einige Funktionen genutzt werden können.

Es wird auf jeden Fall nie langweilig.

@thecanine@twtxt.net This looks sick as your new Avatar 🙌

@thecanine@twtxt.net That’s one of the cool properties, you can use it at whatever frequency you like.

@xuu@txt.sour.is I think I also ran into CSRF problems with multiple open yarnd tabs in the past.

@xuu@txt.sour.is Ah, it was JS then. Thanks. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Okay, cool. :-) I’ll look at Mutt this year. I have the feeling I might like it after some initial pain.
