some of these graphs are truly helpful to us, some of them I think show "interesting stuff" that we can extract from an old well maintained source code written in C even though that data might not really help us.
Then there is a subset of graphs that are mostly silly and they are there simply because I'm obsessed with graphs.
Just 6 graphs left to the big 100. Isn't that what all projects aim for?

Crap, you answered my earlier question already.
Serves me right for reading my timeline backwards!
A thought that popped into my head when I woke up at 4 am and couldnβt get back to sleepβ¦
Imagine that AI/LLM tools were being marketed to workers as a way to do the same work more quickly and work fewer hours without telling their employers.
βUse ChatGPT to write your TPS reports, go home at lunchtime. Spend more time with your kids!β βUse Claude to write your code, turn 60-hour weeks into four-day weekends!β βCollect two paychecks by using AI! You can hold two jobs without the boss knowing the difference!β
Imagine if AI/LLM tools were not shareholder catnip, but a grassroots movement of tooling that workers were sharing with each other to work less. Same quality of output, but instead of being pushed top-down, being adopted to empower people to work less and βcheatβ employers.
Imagine if unions were arguing for the right of workers to use LLMs as labor saving devices, instead of trying to protect members from their damage.
CEOs would be screaming bloody murder. Thereβd be an overnight industry in AI-detection tools and immediate bans on AI in the workplace. Instead of Microsoft CoPilot 365, Satya would be out promoting Microsoft SlopGuard - add ons that detect LLM tools running on Windows and prevent AI scrapers from harvesting your companyβs valuable content for training.
The media would be running horror stories about the terrible trend of workers getting the same pay for working less, and the awful quality of LLM output. Maybe theyβd still call them βhallucinations,β but itβd be in the terrified tone of 80s anti-drug PSAs.
What Iβm trying to say in my sleep-deprived state is that you shouldnβt ignore the intent and ill effects of these tools. If they were good for you, shareholders would hate them.
You should understand that theyβre anti-worker and anti-human. TPTB would be fighting them tooth and nail if their benefits were reversed. It doesnβt matter how good they get, or how interesting they are: the ultimate purpose of the industry behind them is to create less demand for labor and aggregate more wealth in fewer hands.
Unless you happen to be in a very very small club of ultra-wealthy tech bros, theyβre not for you, theyβre against you. #AI #LLMs #claude #chatgpt

Matrix... The modern IRC replacement. Working on phone, app, web browser...
Today greeted me with "your key store is not synchronized" (loose translation from Polish) which means BLABLABLAH to me.
And the only option is to continue with erasing whole history, reverifying all clients and contacts.
At same time FluffyChat on Android works fine, does not complain about anything.
WTH?
@deshipu O man... Those modern IM apps and their security models...
"No, you cannot use it in a web browser - here is a web browser as an app which you should be using instead."
Wellp, the Qwen2.5 LLM model has been useful in increasing the productivity rate of my annoying legacy PHP code refactoring and modernization project by at least 100%. Why 100%? Because before I started using the model, I was doing nothing on the project, LOL.
Don't worry, I'm not being radicalized. AI in its LLM format is everything that I've always gone on and griped about here, and elsewhere. It has no situational awareness or context. It is not intelligent. It halucinates. It will lie to your face, with a smile on its own.
So it has wasted my time with all of this. But all of that aside, it has been able to provide very accurate one-liners or very short code blocks. I purposefully keep any examples for ingestion short and to the point. I always ask for output that is concise, accurate, and to the point. However, I've been treating it like a robot, not a human. I don't waste frivilous words that pander to feelings. Just straight to the point. I am trying to optomize my words for tokens used in prompt analysis, but also having to be as absolutely as specific as possible, as to not waste tokens on having it do useless work.
So I'm trying to optomize for a tool, not an intelligence, personality, or chat buddy.
Its just like a real big knowledge pool, and a crude understanding engine. Instead of looking it up across thirty manuals, or sections of manual, then pieceing it together in your own head, the computer is doing all that in seconds. Sure, there's a comprehension barrier, a language barrier, now and again, but that's why you the human are still needed in the loop. So stead of fighting it, I'm trying to use it. Its pretty neat that way. Just don't trust it, ever. And anyone giving this thing a fair chance will very quicly come to realize that. Humans are still needed, and this thing will not permanently kill any jobs that won't be replaced in some other field, very quickly. Its just not that good or smart. Its a glorified tape recorder that can find and stitch humanity's knowledge together quite quickly, with just enough errors to make it useless without the human behind the keyboard looking after it. But that's what we want, eh? If it got any better than this, then it probably will well and truly wipe out jobs.

Looks like we've got snow in the forecast here in central North Carolina on Sunday. My mother will be excited, especially because she won't have to go anywhere that day. She doesn't drive in snow.
Probably won't be too heavy anyway.
It doesn't take much to close things here. This place doesn't know how to deal.
In 2001, we got several inches over the morning period when school buses were picking kids up from school, but they hadn't canceled classes until everyone got to school. They then had to send all the buses back out and pick up the kids again.
Several buses crashed. Two students died. Some didn't get picked up and had to spend the night at school. There were lawsuits.
I was one of the lucky ones who were able to get out.
School was closed for a week after that, I think.
It is Appreciate a Dragon day! ^V^

You know that #Linux is becoming mainstream on #desktop computers when a Czech consumer magazine focused on product testing, #DTest, recommends switching to Linux.
"However, there is another solution. Fortunately, it is no longer true that only Microsoft operating systems are suitable for ordinary people and that only eccentric IT wizards with a silicon soul can use anything else. Now, a number of GNU/Linux operating systems offer a level of ease of use that is at least comparable to that of MS Windows."
@gisgeek Desktops are still used for any serious "computing" work and I have seen very few people who do it on mobile devices (happily). My sister works for a pharmaceutical company and major source of frustration in the company is that they only have an iPad with an external keyboard as their work device. Most of them have purchased their private laptops to do any serious work tasks.
That said, it's true that many people don't have to do any serious "computing" work or not frequently. Those are just fine with phones or tablets.
Awesome!
For info though, my soul as a 15 year linux user isn't only silicon. It's also got a large amount of pizza and coffee in ot. Gotta keep the record clear.

Maybe it's wider recognition of women's clothes having less pockets. You should probably be thanking those authors.
