If the answer to the problem at hand (foreign or domestic) is to send in the military, then you've already lost, and what happens next is just some version of "If I can't have it I'll just destroy it." See also: Putin.

I've been off my road bike for 2.5 years. I saddled back up this weekend and embraced the suck. My Garmin was like... Zzzz... What the hell? What are you doing? Are we being chased by a bear?!

“The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people are so full of doubts.” –Bertrand Russell, A History of Western Philosophy (1946) Never was a truer thing said, in my humble experience, and it applies to almost every aspect of life.

We're all still benefiting from Apple buying NeXT all those years ago. I guess that's why I decided to fiddle with the wireless MAC address on my new MacBook to fake out my Eero. What can I tell you, I'm easily amused. 🤷

Not that you need me to confirm, but I can. I'm having the same levels of success using Qwen 2.5 LLM to migrate a C# codebase to golang.

Took my first pass at converting a production app written in C# to #golang today using the Qwen 2.5 LLM. Turned it loose on the media player base class and it crashed itself trying to walk/resolve/define all of the classes the base class depends on. Sooo, dependencies first... got it.

VSCode with #Cline plugin connected to a local LM Studio running Qwen 2.5 14B LLM on an M4 pro... Programming prompt compiled and ran the second time after it self-corrected, all tests pass. Code generation took less than a minute to complete. 😳 @lmstudio-ai.bsky.social @vscode.dev

I'm starting to notice a trend here. Even though I have muted words for trump and maga, I have lots of posts getting through now because they're screenshotting X posts from trump and not mentioning trump or maga in the text or alt. I guess I'll just have to start blocking. @bsky.app

Spent the day with huggingface.co/lmstudio-com... Running it with #lmstudio on an M4 pro, performance is very good, results of coding prompts to generate #csharp or #golang have been spot on with very few exceptions. If you're a dev in any language, you need to wrap your head around this.
