Hmm, I wonder why they didn’t just use a herd of #AI agents to fix the code?

Neben dem Dom gefällt mir in Mailand am besten der "Bosco verticale" (vertikaler Wald): zwei begrünte Hochhäuser, auf denen viele, viele Bäume wachsen. Dadurch ist es innen kühl – ganz ohne Klimaanlage.
Vor einiger Zeit hatte ich einen Artikel dazu geschrieben, kannte ihn also schon.
Ansonsten sind viele kleine Geschäfte geschlossen, weil man hier im August Urlaub macht.
Ich freue mich, dass ich so viel verstehe bzw. mir vieles zusammenreime, während ich mich durc…

The prevalence of criminal activity and making it easy for criminals by the Republican party is pitiful.
"More than 990,000 households that received food assistance last year had benefits stolen. (The reason it’s necessary to use data from a private company: The federal government has stopped tracking rates of this crime.)"

I don't really understand what Omarchy even is, other than a front for corporations to donate money to fascism.
It sounds like it's not even a full distro really, just Arch with a bunch of config files?
I mean: If you can get millions of pounds for your config these days, my config is:
Three-key keyboard shortcuts for:
They are all ctrl-alt and keys around J on the keyboard. I move my windows around like a wizard.
5x2 virtual desktops. Move between them with ctrl-alt left/right/up/down. Shift to carry the current window as you move.
The desktop configuration is:
Main:
One-Desktop-left, messenger screen:
Telegram will be phased out. Nearly done.
One desktop right, lights.
One desktop down: Godot-coding.
Diagonal right-down: Steam.
Diagonal left-down, spreadsheets.
Rarely active really.
The other desktops are for sundry tasks as and when they might arise.
The OS is on the root of the hard-drive and /home/pre is mounted from a set of zfs drives that frankly need rethinking and reorganizing.
Directories in there:
In /pub we have basically the Jelly-fin formats with side-directories.
In /doc we have
Vimwiki is my opinionated choice for personal journal and reference notes. It is amazing and I should have gone with markdown from the start but it's still all in vimwiki syntax.
I will post the basic structure of the vimwiki only if this post gets 50 boosts or thousands of dollars in donations.
It is several levels deep with symlinks into the project directories.
Then of course there's the server-config which there's flavours of, and the way those servers are backed up, and the themes for the things.
Nextcloud, ttrss, goto-social, mastodon, peertube. I got servers running 'em all.
Can I get me some of those fascist dollars if I publish my config for mixing gotosocial with a static website to combine a social and web identity into one?
It's basically just an nginx config and a hugo run and some scripts.
If I install all that and snapshot it can I have the millions of fascists money please?

When discussing scientific achievements made mostly or partly by AI systems, especially the headline-making ones, it's good to think about the resources being allotted to such projects, which are plausibly incomparable to previous investment. For instance, I suspect that no one had previously invested several millions of dollars to hire a team of mathematicians exclusively to tackle a single millennium problem.

So intensely gross that the US government engaged in a conspiracy to groom a 16 year-old Minnesotan kid for two years to direct his justifiable rage against the US in (allegedly) the most ineffective and random-violence directions, so they could entrap him when he turned 18— and those federal agents are well-paid career professionals in good standing, will testify against the young man they conspired to point at the Mall of America and promise to provide with a gun, not one step of which cou…

National Geographic Society sent my mother a fundraising letter. She asked if she should donate, and i said absolutely not, they partnered with the Murdochs, the infamous reactionary propagandists. I checked my facts though and it's worse— the magazine and TV channels and everything anyone actually knows about in 2015 became 73% owned by 21st Century Fox which itself is now owned by Disney. And they fired all the magazine writers in 2023. So i feel that this is fully a for-profit ope…
