I'm still thinking about a longer blog post about LLMs, and one of the things I keep thinking about them is how they not only cause direct harm to the community, but also make people more suspicious of one another. And then I've been pointed out this text:
"I'm Kenyan. I Don't Write Like ChatGPT. ChatGPT Writes Like Me."
"""
I am a writer. A writer who also happens to be Kenyan. And I have come to this thesis statement: I don't write like ChatGPT. ChatGPT, in its strange, disembodied, globally-sourced way, writes like me. Or, more accurately, it writes like the millions of us who were pushed through a very particular educational and societal pipeline, a pipeline deliberately designed to sandpaper away ambiguity, and forge our thoughts into a very specific, very formal, and very impressive shape.

Mastodon question, I'm trying to completely filter/hide posts with specific hashtags and I can't get it to work.
I set them up as filter for "#blah" and I'm enabling to filter the Home timeline but they just stay in my Home timeline—I've tried with and without "whole word" on.
Is there some known issue in v4.5.7 or am I missing something?

I was using the Python csv library for a script but decided I should dig into the pandas DataFrame stuff instead.
It was more complex, and it took me awhile to figure things out, and I had to read a bunch of web pages explaining things.
But in the end, I am 100% happy I did it that way.
I did not want to ask some AI/LLM for the answers, or to write the code for me.
Because for me, the struggle and the journey is part of creating something worthwhile.

Twenty-five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
And I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
For whatever that means
And so I cry sometimes
When I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out
What's in my head
And I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take a de…

An announcement: Many of you may know that I am in a long-distance relationship. My fiancée @… has recently made some serious progress in searching for a house where the both of us can live, so it's looking more and more likely that I will be leaving New Hampshire to go live with her soon. For this reason, I'd like to announce that I won't be running for reelection in 2026. There are 2 candidates that I know of who have expressed interest in filling my seat for me after I leave: Tom Brennan and Jason Quinno. Either of them would be strong progressives who align with my values, so I encourage any constituents to vote for either of them in the contested primary this September.

Anyone who calls me knows I don't always answer. They can leave a voicemail and I will call back later. I am not ignoring them as I may be driving or on the bus, in a work meeting or just busy.
For calls with only a number I NEVER answer. If they are legit and want to talk to me they can leave a voicemail.

I don't know what has changed - although I have a suspicion that it is a reaction by other countries against el cheato's tariff nonsense - but I am observing a significant uptick in the amount and detail of documentation needed in order to export products from the US to foreign countries.

I am old enough to have played #Doom in my childhood, but young enough not to have played it thorough back then. Since then, I've played through the remake of the first episode on Doom 3 engine, Classic Doom, and played a bit via Doomsday.
Finally, I've started replaying them all. I've decided to go with crispy-doom, which gives makes them quite accurate, with minimal improvements. And I'm playing on gamepad, which turns out just the right choice for an old game with partial autoaim.
So far I've finished Ultimate Doom and #Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders. And I have to say that these games are much better than I remembered.
Doom is just great, though I have to say that the fourth episode (the one added in Ultimate Doom) is a bit uneven; it's still great, but it's start with a very hard first map and then seems to become progressively easier.
But Heretic is even better. And I have to say that all five episodes (two being expansions) are great.

I hereby declare the IRS, DOJ and all federal agencies can never investigate me, my family members and companies for any reason, in perpetuity.

To be clear, I do not have the expertise to evaluate this critique — or to evaluate Anthropic’s original claims about Mythos. How much is there a “there” there? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I am willing to claim just this: it’s unwise to take AI company PR at face value. When you hear wild new claims, give the dust some time to settle.

I've been using the word "large" to indicate that a thing is "larger" than the normal version, but then I have "huge" and "giant" for even larger things but sometimes I am not sure which is a better word to use.

I am thinking of drafting (yet another) proposal for our US Constitution.
The problem is that our Constitution creates a legislative ratchet - once a law that delegates power to the President is passed it is difficult for Congress to remove that law because Presidents are extremely reluctant to relinquish authority, even if they are not using that authority.
This time the idea is to extend Congress' powers so that Congress can claw-back grants of authority to the President. (…

I am a developer and I have never been told to use a cloud AI for anything. I was told to only use Copilot if I was to use one, though.

These are not diseases to be endured under some "if it doesn't kill you it makes you stronger" nonsense. These are disease to be avoided.
