We really have to stop uncritically accepting the batshit drivel that billionaires come up with. Their main qualification is exploiting people at scale to enrich themselves with power and money, and they will do and say anything to keep it that way, especially if they pitch it as "the future."
@fu yeah so Bud Selig bought the bankrupt Pilots and moved them to Milwaukee, but that technically means there is no direct relation between the defunct Milwaukee Braves (moved to ATL) or the original Milwaukee Brewers (moved to St Louis and became the Browns)

grrrrrrrrr! so I installed the station playlist studio addon for #NVDA, and it isn't as bad as it was, but the whole system hult things are happening again! I know I can't be the only one that is seeing this, but here it is, and nothing happened with the last time, when I tried to show people what was going on. maybe I should just get rid of the addon again.
@joslee Well better than it was a couple of months ago is at least an improvement. But Joseph is an expert and I'm sure he'll be able to track down the issue with you.
@NVAccess The current maintainer is Chris Duffley. Also, we need to know what's going on when the freeze happens and on which Studio release/add-on relesae.
A few weeks ago, I learned that Dolphin Computer Access is offering a 50% discount on their Supernova products for users who have a JAWS, Zoomtext or Fusion license who are willing to switch from t…
Every time I try to use an LLM, it always gets things terribly wrong. Nvlist binary format is undocumented. Ask an LLM for it and of course it gets confused with OpenZFS similarly named nvpair, and talks about that (don't know if it's correct or not, but probably isn't from what I briefly saw).
I really don't understand how anyone uses this stuff for work.
you can't just ask it for answers and expect good results from only its internal corpus. Always request that it use official docs or provide it links to docs / code and tell it to reference that before answering.
> If I have to hunt down and provide source/docs for it, I might as well look at them myself to understand it and not depend upon an LLM to do so.
yeah true, but when it's something without good docs or really confusing docs without examples, or projects where I have no idea what the structure is I find it very useful as it can read and find what I'm looking for faster than I can by grep-guessing
I started documenting kernel side #kqueue on #FreeBSD. At this point it is just a brain dump, so I need help improving github.com/mekanix/freebsd-src…. @dexter got any tips except contacting man page author?
I was thinking we need to get more people active on the FreeBSD wiki too so at least examples, gotchas, and best practices are *somewhere* associated with the project and not just on random blogs and web comments, like this one from the other day:
More metro Phoenix home sellers have grown tired of demands from buyers and have given up.
The number of canceled home listings is on the rise in the Valley as buyers continue to insist on lower prices, expensive remodel projects and interest-rate buydowns. Trevor Halpern of Halpern Residential at eXp Reality said 35% to 40% of his sellers are pulling their listings if buyers won't give them the price they want.
During the past few months, about 30% of Phoenix-area homes listed for sale were called off by homeowners, according to the Cromford Report.
A colleague is asking how many #Neuroscientists are here on Mastodon / Fedi. If you are one, could you make yourself known in this poll? Also, more specific comments about your field welcome! 🧠
