Okay here's my hot elitist opinion for the moment.
If you need the more expensive models, you're either not a very good programmer, or you're being lazy. (and sometimes there's good reasons to be lazy, I'm sure)
But it's _amazing_ how much better the cheaper, lighter, more economical and ecologically friendly LLMs are when you're actually working to craft a test environment, good guardrails and a solid inner developer loop.
You know: the same skills that make a safe, speedy environment for experimentation for people.
It's almost like throwing more brute force a things is actually brute force.

I tried to get the colors to match somewhat on the CRT, but it's a fool's errand to be honest. However, once work is over it'll be time to progress more in FF6.

Even more depressing, for the last week of tedious browsing, I can't seem to settle on another dirt-cheap ~€300, non-32", non-Sony, non-Samsung, 4K, at-least-a-solid-60Hz TV set that I am confident would not die on me or would not run out of smart software support within the next three years.

I then put the old 5th Gen on my trainer bike as a video player and it still works great.

I bet this was for Deque’s 100% WCAG ‘AI’ coverage, which must be getting released today to honor its March promise.

A white lower-case ‘d’ with a lower-case ‘q’ set into its bowl, overlapping and sharing it but retaining the ascender of the ‘d’ and clipping the descender of the ‘q’ to create negative space against the navy blue background.
8 instances of an uppercase ‘D’ fanned it into a circle, with all their bowls filled solid and four colored blue and the other four purple.

Good Morning #Canada
2026 has been designated as the International Year of the Woman Farmer by the United Nations, in an effort to increase and improve food security across the planet. Once again we call upon the fairer sex to save humanity.
Women led farms are on the rise in Canada. From the 2021 #StatsCan report, there were 80,000 female farm operators, representing 30% of total farm operators, up from 25% in 1991. In general female participation is increasing while men are decreasing. Farming is an industry where women operators can achieve wage parity with male counterparts because compensation is based on market conditions, but currently most women led farms are smaller with less annual revenues.
A helpful #AI tells me a female farmer could could be called a farmerette, a farmeress, or farmHER. So helpful...

Abstract: Nuclear security operations and forensic investigations require the utilization of a suite of instruments ranging from passive gamma spectrometers to high-precision laboratory sample analyzers. Gamma spectroscopy survey is further broken down into wide-area search performed with large-volume scintillator-based mobile survey spectrometers which are integrated with geographic position sensors for mapping and identification of hot zones, and high-precision long-dwell measurements using solid state spectrometers for follow-on characterization to establish isotopic content and ratios. While performing well at detecting the presence, quantity and type of radioactivity, all of these methods have limited ability to determine the location of a source of radioactivity. In recent years, technology advances have resulted in gamma imager devices which can create an image of the distribution of radioactive sources using the gamma emissions which accompany radioactive decay, and overlay this on an optical photograph of the environment. These gamma imaging devices have arisen out of methods developed for medical physics, experimental particle physics, and astrophysics, resulting in a proliferation of different technological approaches. Those responsible for establishing a nuclear security concept of operations, require guidance to choose the proper gamma imager for each of the application spaces in a tiered response. Here the results of an intercomparison of two gamma imagers based on two widely different technologies, semiconductor and scintillator detectors, are presented. The optimal utilization of these imaging technologies in a tiered response is discussed based on the results of the trial. Finally, an outlook on future directions for gamma imaging advances is provided.

So, decided to make the `sisyphus-client` Docker image a multi-stage build because it was a really large image. Ended up taking it from 1.3GB to 708MB which isn't too shabby. Unfortunately, that's about as small as I'm gonna be able to get it with all of the encoding binaries/libraries that I have to install.
Still, pretty solid reduction in container size.

The new 1.6.3 Docker image for the Sisyphus client.  It is now much smaller than the old one which is from the multi-stage build.

Also Kerkez, it occurs to me, has probably not attacked a low block a lot until this season. While his final pass has frustrated me, he’s having to learn on the fly. He’s had a pretty solid game today and seems to be trending in a positive direction.

So got a new laptop, ("new" as in new for me, still 6 years old but far newer than my other laptop), and opted to try a gaming distro since it has a dedicated GPU.
Tried Bazzite, failed miserably as it installed on a 1TB rotational drive and was horribly slow.
Replaced drive with a solid state and tried again, this time trying to install on it and the NVME which evidently it came with too. Didn't see the drive but a quick update in the bios resolved that. Got it i…

Practically finished setting up Universix-Saigon, my Cosmic bootc image based on a solid Bluefin base. It's live on github at thesaigoneer - universix-saigon.
Many edits in applications, flatpaks and QoL, read up on it in the readme.md. Or just give it a go!

The image features a piece of street art on a pale, off-white surface, possibly a poster or a wall. The artwork depicts Princess Leia from Star Wars, stylized in a stencil-like fashion, rendered in solid black. She is positioned to the right of the artwork and is holding a spray can in her right hand, suggesting she is the one who created the graffiti. 

Above Leia, and to the left, are the words "FUCK THIS IMPERIALIST BULLSHIT" in bold, dripping red lettering, as if sprayed onto the surface. T…

Not that anyone cares what my take on Lara Croft is (I’ve played I think the first game for a few hours) but that pic of Sophie Turner as LC looks pretty damned solid to me.
I actually didn’t recognize her (Sophie) at first.

Very solid performance. Gomez really shored up the defending and Kerkez and Frimpong were both terrific.
Gravenberch got off to a rough start, but he really caught fire and was my MOTM. I don't know that he and Mac Allister have the greatest chemistry, but Marseille allowed them space as they fatigued.
If you were to be critical... too many promising moments lacking the right pass or quality. Not enough shots, only 3 of 11 on target.
