This is how I play music. Find what I want on YT, download it to my dektop as an mp3 then I transfer it to a small mp3 player then I can plug that into a small speaker or a big one using a short audio lead
A short story.
In mid 2020 I took a break from work. I was burnt out and exhausted, both physically and mentally, and — in the midst of Covid19 — wanted a break before starting on my new role as CTO of a Blockchain network analytics company. During those sweet couple of months of Summer 2020, I was […] ⌘ Read more
What should I do with my new domain?
I recently complained about domain registrars. But I also recently registered a new domain: j7s.me. A numeronym of my first name. And the .me TLD to show that I am a person. (And it is a short domain that was available.) ⌘ Read more

St Petersburg Distance Classic Marathon: 26.41 miles, 00:11:23 average pace, 05:00:39 duration
first marathon down. everything that could go wrong did. honestly i am just proud i did not quit. now i have to look at the run and figure out what i can tweak or add to my training. had a cramp start in my right quad at around mile 15. then around mile 18 both of my calves started to feel odd as if someone was lightly strumming my tendons. then they seized! this continued for the remainder of the marathon where i would walk then try to run and then stop when i had to. then during the entirety of the pace my nose would not stop dripping making it difficult to breathe. ha! also my shorts almost came down twice and i had to re-tie them while carrying my handheld water in my teeth. seriously, so many things i did not expect and had not happened in any previous runs.
really happy to be able to eat spicy food and have some alcoholic beverages again though!

Pinellas County - 90’ (part I): 4.53 miles, 00:08:41 average pace, 00:39:21 duration
whoa this run felt great. seemed very fun effort while the heart rate was relatively low with a nice pace. it was very cold out, 42F with a wind chill of 38F, but it didn’t matter once the engine was going. unfortunately, halfway through the run code brown sirens were blaring and had to cut it short.

Catching COVID-19
So far, I had been spared from COVID-19. “Had,” focusing on the past, because now it has affected me, or us, after all. We had to cut short our vacation, which I used to share little glimpses of here on the blog. We quickly went back home, wearing masks the whole time and hoping not to infect more people. ⌘ Read more

I was introducing someone I know to #Mastodon a few years back, starting with:
“So let’s find a server that suits your niche interests. What are you looking for?”
…thinking that I knew all the fedi communities pretty well.
They responded cheekily “Is there a european-foreign-policy server?”
Of course I came up short, and they ended up making an account on a generalist server.
But fedi has grown a lot since!

Seems to me you could write a script that:
- Parses a StackOverflow question
- Runs it through an AI text generator
- Posts the output as a post on StackOverflow
and basically pollute the entire information ecosystem there in a matter of a few months? How long before some malicious actor does this? Maybe it’s being done already 🤷
What an asinine, short-sighted decision. An astonishing number of companies are actively reducing headcount because their executives believe they can use this newfangled AI stuff to replace people. But, like the dot com boom and subsequent bust, many of the companies going this direction are going to face serious problems when the hypefest dies down and the reality of what this tech can and can’t do sinks in.
We really, really need to stop trusting important stuff to corporations. They are not tooled to last.

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net That’s a dissembling answer from him. Github is owned by Microsoft, and CoPilot is a for-pay product. It would have no value, and no one would pay for it, were it not filled with code snippets that no one consented to giving to Microsoft for this purpose. Microsoft will pay $0 to the people who wrote the code that makes CoPilot valuable to them.
In short, it’s a gigantic resource-grab. They’re greedy assholes taking advantage of the hard work of millions of people without giving a single cent back to any of them. I hope they’re sued so often that this product is destroyed.
