Feeling like garbage lately but trying to spark joy so picking up #crochet and finished this little guy

There but for the grace of God, go I. This was a powerful piece that I needed to read. For many, life is only one emergency away from complete derailment. One unexpected medical bill or sudden loss of income & our American dream can be a house of cards.

@caseynewton.bsky.social, where do you recommend getting started with externalizing memory and thought? Is there a particular note app or framework you recommend to someone that wants to take more notes and link research sites/articles/other notes but has failed to make things like bujo stick prev?

Man, I am really struggling with #Java. Any good recommendations for simple projects to take on to reinforce core concepts? #programming #tech #learning #100daysofcode

I find it really fascinating (and a little sad) that rather than part of transitioning to cleaner energy, #nuclear power is making a comeback specifically to power #AI

Interesting piece on the #AI #bubble:

Are you sure you're not a robot?

Might need to check this out next time we visit family in TX

#COBOL is dead, long live COBOL!

Do you enjoy AI coding tools? I know not to trust it for prod but it's been pretty helpful with learning and boilerplate. #coding #learning #AI #LLM #engineering #tech

#HIV is a disease that could be eradicated in our lifetimes but for lack of funds to educate and make medications available. Support the SF AIDS Foundation through my ALC today: https://buff.ly/3MSltst #cycling #charity #AIDSLifeCycle2025 #support #DonateToday

It's moon o'clock somewhere!

Clean up your formatting and citations would be a win though https://buff.ly/3N9w0jc

Is #synthetic #content not the worst idea you've ever heard of? Isn't there enough garbage and ads on Facebook and Twitter already? https://buff.ly/3XPfwll

This week's episode of #hardfork was really interesting. It talked about Zuc's all-or-nothing approach and how FB is rolling out AI-generated content to further poison your feed.

Learning a new language is great and all but I really need to build more projects and get out of syntax world. #tech #developer #programming

A rather fascinating thought stream on when #AI will out-think us generally (it can already out-think us in some specific multidimensional problems) #ML #LLM #AGI #Tech

I'm not about to start using #git the hard way but it's good to know how it works :) https://buff.ly/4dhqDZW #developer #software #programming

An evergreen topic(s) and a fun presentation using little xkcd style comics to understand #http #sql #bash etc. #tech #programming #learning #developer

After the last era of trust-busting and monopoly breakup, we had the greatest economic expansion in American history with a massive growth of the middle class and real corporate ESG, not just lip service.

So #Anime is fully mainstream now? Well alright, I recently enjoyed Scavenger's Reign and Obsolete if you're into odd semi-dystopian futures. Still miss those blissful Toonami days.

Short route 3/100 next up some climbing! Let's get rolling and ready for #ALC2025 donate now: https://buff.ly/3MSltst #zwift #cycling #training #fitness #goals #100daysofcycling

The #optimistic case for #ai

The #AIDSLifeCycle2025 will be the LAST one ever! I’m riding 545 miles from San Francisco to Los Angeles and I need your #support to make it count! Thank you for supporting me on this historic ride! https://buff.ly/3MSltst #FinalRide #DonateToday #cycling #chairty

I hope that this pays off and brings #AI research to more communities and more voices into the development of AI for the good of all. A new initiative will fuel innovation by investing in developers and organizations in low- and middle-income countries.

Day 4/100 closing out the year with lots of cycling. 96 days to go! Got in an evening session in Zwift while attending the TRL cert refresher for ALC. https://buff.ly/3MSltst #FinalRide #DonateToday #cycling #chairty #100daysofcycling #AIDSLifeCycle2025

It's a great tool to have but don't just blindly trust generative AI on anything...

There are #100 days left in 2024 and I am setting a goal of #riding all of them, and as many routes in #Watopia as I can. Let's get rolling and ready for #ALC2025 donate now: https://buff.ly/3MSltst #zwift #cycling #training #fitness #goals

Well, it seems lean times are here for #developers. Here's hoping to make it through the grind to the next upswing. https://buff.ly/47CmEGa

As much as I want really #autonomous vehicles in our future, cruise seems to be missing the mark time and time again. Does anyone really feel ok with these things back on the road? https://buff.ly/3zvAYnh

Now that we have Strawberry aka GPT01 let's revisit tokenization and why LLMs fail at some tasks, and see if if 01 is different. https://buff.ly/3BcmMQt

Fascinating read on how China is putting a lot of resources into nuclear power, specifically fusion. It would be incredible to unlock fusion power in our transition away from fossil fuels.

As always humorous insights from #Reddit "Is it better to be a jack of all trades or a master of one?" Interesting point: "T-shaped expertise": broad general knowledge but deep expertise on a subject or stack. https://buff.ly/4djgHPA

Yesterday was Sunday #funday and we hit the road with a little out-and-back 40 miler to Isleton. Mcboodery has great sandwiches! Support my ALC here: https://buff.ly/3MSltst #FinalRide #DonateToday #cycling #chairty

Get out and enjoy the day! 🚴‍♂️

It's just so very good. Listening to this album takes me back to that night at Shoreline and how incredible and alive we all felt. #Odesza #LastGoodBye #EDM #Dance

A lot of love for the water bear. live tiny, die never. #dune #tardigrade #biology

Do we even really want to cross the uncanny valley? Perhaps machines being different from us and intelligent in different ways is part of the point. #AI https://buff.ly/3MSU2ie

Is this peak screaming into the void, or would you like a universe of LLMs to be your only engagement? #AI #LLM #Bots https://buff.ly/3Zr7CRy

I'm so ready for #election season to be over... #politics #spam

To raise capital, #autonomous #vehicle #startups promoted eliminating human roles to reduce costs. However, intervention is still crucial & is now advertised as a selling point for stuck vehicles. Is this a good middle ground or vaporware meeting reality?

This is how we're grooving this Friday. May all your vibes be good and the weekend ahead be restorative.

Being a fan of both #history and #engineering, I am fascinated by the communities working with #opensource older technologies to preserve pieces of #tech and #internet history. It's so great to see communities coming together to keep these projects alive. https://buff.ly/3yTNZqB
