Can someone explain to me why was Pixelfed, Loops, and Dansup being singled out for AI use? There's no shortage of Fediverse software that are either built with AI assistance (including vibe coding), or welcomes AI contribution, but I'm not seeing the same level of outrage. Did Pixelfed, Loops, and Dansup specifically promise to be AI-free? #Fediverse #ActivityPub

Anyone working on a Fediverse server where all new code isn't written by AI? Do you have some Patreon, GitHub Sponsorship setup, Ko-Fi, Liberapay, or anything to accept donations? Happy to fork over $50 every month for the next year. #Fediverse #ActivityPub

A year ago, regarding the type of stuff that I often saw employers look for regarding AI, it's usually: - LLM API experience - prompt engineering experience - workflows - vector databases and RAG - MCP Now it's agentic harnesses. It's all the rage. It's all MCPs and agentic loops.

Every time I post on social media in advocacy for something, not only is it just me pretty much screaming into the void (or worse, a brick wall), but if it were to be heard, it&#39;s probably just added into a sea of noise that&#39;s also shared with: - anti-vaccine propaganda - remigration rhetorics - conspiracy theories

Like the saying goes, &quot;every accusation is a confession&quot;, but people who say &quot;oil companies don&#39;t want you to know&quot; or &quot;oil companies are hiding it from us&quot; or &quot;oil companies don&#39;t want EVs&quot; seriously suck at operating a business.

Yeah, when I saw this video, I immediately knew, ThePrimeagen is full of shit. Especially the 23:34 point mark, where he criticizes Liskov&#39;s Substitution Principle (LSP). ThePrimeagen conflates LSP with inheritance. LSP barely gives a shit about inheritance. It cares about subtyping. If anything, if you followed LSP to the letter, you&#39;d be *less* inclined to go for inheritance; not more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TT_RLWmIsbY #Programming

Big five: &quot;I get a bar graph, and I don&#39;t remember what those numbers were.&quot; Myers-Briggs (type indicator): &quot;I get ENFJ&quot; or &quot;I get INTP&quot;. Don&#39;t know about you, but it seems like Myers-Briggs, when administered, empowers people to share insights about who they are better than the big five. I mean, don&#39;t get me wrong, if you roughly remember your big five score, I&#39;d prefer that, but the Myers-Briggs at least i...

The Parliament of Estonia is orders of magnitude smarter than whoever is in the Parliament of Canada (including Mark Carney).
