Great news everyone! I finally talk about AI hype. Someone finally mentioned LLMs one time too many, and the reckoning is upon us:

With 1 #transistor, I can make an inverter, a switch, or a not-very-good amplifier.

With 2 transistors, I can make a differential amplifier, a cascode, or a latch.

With 3 transistors, I can make a fairly good (Wilson) current mirror, or a Lorenz chaotic system.

20,000 transistors made a #computer that navigated spacecraft to the Moon and back.

But 10,000,000,000 transistors make a computer that's brought to its knees if it tries to interpret the Javascript used to load one #ad on a web page.

Pearl Kendrick, Loney Gordon and Grace Eldering studied pertussis in the 1930s. They developed and ran the first large scale study of a successful vaccine for the disease.

The first vaccine against pertussis was developed in the 1930s by pediatrician Leila Denmark.

Thanks a lot everyone!

My biggest pet peeve is restaurants/gigs/events or venues of any kind which have a social media page instead of a website. I don't have fucking instagram, so I literally can't see your menu/lineup? Even if I had instagram, it's an entirely inaccessible format so would be fucking useless? These platforms are for promotion, not for hosting vital information.

Since I switched to KDE I've been experiencing this weird bug where my whole PC (minus sound stuff, apparently) freezes when I click on certain things on the secondary display.

It only happens sometimes, and mainly it seems to happen when I click on Telegram's title bar. I have no idea what causes it or how to figure out any kind of clue o.o

It also... seems to happen when playing RimWorld most of the time, and moving the mouse out of that and onto the second screen window, if that's relevant in any way

I'm using Arch, KDE and Wayland

So yeah I'm once again asking for computer help 😔

Do it for the environment.

Look I’d love to get a new #RaspberryPi5 - I love playing with this sort of tech. I have a few older ones kicking around still too! But I won’t be buying one because I don’t like to support a company that belittles people for taking an ethical stance against hiring known surveillance police to help support that particular market. It was dismissive, exclusionary, and pushing minority groups out of making spaces. And they still don’t think they’ve done anything wrong.

Is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?

Want UblockOrigin for life

Some kinda augmented reality that replaces all display advertising with classical art or gifs from /r/aww

Quote attributed to Banksy put it best:

I wish more people in large orgs understood how much of a burden you put on somebody by sending them a PDF and asking them to fill it out and send it back. The software you are asking people to find and learn is absolutely some of the worst software in the world.
