    @angusm @wordshaper @cstross and no, asking Grok AI or any other chat bot doesn't constitute "a plan".

  • I'm still using my #PinebookPro .
    dryak@mstdn.scienceundefined dryak@mstdn.science

    @RTheren @danct12 same experience here: good for SSH, text editor (Kate), and e-mail (thunderbird); bad for modern web which insist on downloading half of github's worth of javascript frameworks which taxes the tiny 4G of RAM

  • I keep seeing lots of people saying "LLMs are like compilers/assemblers for prompts"
    dryak@mstdn.scienceundefined dryak@mstdn.science

    @mcc @mntmn @cwebber ...
    Proper software engineering done by human with brains that can hold an actual mental model of the design implication isn't going away.

    At best, what we have is a (very unreliable) tool that will allow people who are utterly allergic to programming languages to still be able to play around code.

  • I keep seeing lots of people saying "LLMs are like compilers/assemblers for prompts"
    dryak@mstdn.scienceundefined dryak@mstdn.science

    @mcc @mntmn @cwebber speaking of expanding to more users and of assembler:

    An argument I've heard is that: in the past high level compiled languages have replaced assembler, and LLMs are the next step.

    Well, assembler -- and assembler-adjacent stuff like C's SIMD intrinsics -- are still relied upon (think finely optimised low-lvl libraries in some fields like gaming, video codecs, and number crunching in scientific data analysis).

  • The world’s solar capacity reached 1,419 gigawatts in 2023, way beyond any predictions.
    dryak@mstdn.scienceundefined dryak@mstdn.science

    @tartley @aanee @infobeautiful Well, what would be a limitting factors that would make it more expensive/more difficult to keep expanding solar?

    => running out of physical space to build panels on:
    Yes but this isn't happening anytime soon and we would have beaten current world energy production well before that point is reached

    => running out or raw materials:
    Plenty of time until then too, and recycling older panels could help too.

  • UK PEOPLE: this is REALLY IMPORTANT.
    dryak@mstdn.scienceundefined dryak@mstdn.science

    @cstross Reason number "a zillion and some" why privacy, etc. is better served using something decentralized like Tor, rather than VPNs companies that can be forced to ID-check UK users.

  • #NewYearResolution2026: Never let people tell you it's impossible to deGoogle your life.
    dryak@mstdn.scienceundefined dryak@mstdn.science

    @Tutanota Suggestions :

    Translations:
    - Firefox supports downloading models and running locally (either to translate page or direct access in "about:translations")

    Android: also list non Android derivatives:
    - #SailfishOS <- I daily drive that
    - postmarketOS
    - UbuntuTouch
    They all have (container-based) solutions to run Android apps if necessary (AppSupport, Waydroid)

    Also, add fediverse:
    - Pixelfed
    - Peertube
