While the consumption for AI train can be large, there are arguments to be made for its net effect in the long run.

The article’s last section gives a few examples that are interesting to me from an environmental perspective. Using smaller problem-specific models can have a large effect in reducing AI emissions, since their relation to model size is not linear. AI assistance can indeed increase worker productivity, which does not necessarily decrease emissions but we have to keep in mind that our bodies are pretty inefficient meat bags. Last but not least, AI literacy can lead to better legislation and regulation.

Gitea and forejo are doing some amazing work

They made meow meow beans?

Here is a list of note-taking apps:

By the way, I am building my own Journaling system, it’s still early stages and I am looking for ideas!

Has anyone gone through the documents? Any interesting findings? Is it time to create a website?

Me neither buddy, me neither…

Falsehoods About Time: … Time always moves forwards.

I had to learn this the hard way… I was working at a platform that pulled measurements from sensors. The sensors did not declare the timezone for the timestamps of the measurement and the platform broke down twice after daylight saving. The first time there were duplicated records which caused conflicts and the second one we weren’t handling impossible timestamps.

Jack Dorsey, good or bad?

(bonus points if you get the community reference)

Stremio with the local files extension? Not exactly a video player, but if you want to watch movies and TV shows, it will get the job done.

I have serious sleep issues so I heavily really on my alarm app, I need features like:

1. wake-up captcha
2. wake-up time randomising
3. the ability to load a playlist, or play a podcast episode
4. sleep tracking

It may sound boring, but I would appreciate a good open source alarm app for android.

why is signal not an option?

Boston is a compact battleship with a complement of 18 programmable keys, in a footprint 2u narrower than a full-size, and only about 1.5u wider than a 96%.

I am sold.

I cannot help, but your post got me wondering can you share your keyboard or a picture?

I cannot understand how some many fkeys could be useful. Why not use regural shortcuts?

Hey, I am sure I have it, I rephrased the comment, thanks for bringing that up.

Myth: You are lazy.

Truth: It’s highly probable you are neurodivergent.

While, accurate numbers are not available, I have seen people estimating that 20% of people working in FAANG are neurodivergent. If coding comes naturally to you but the laundry is your mortal enemy, it’s worth learning about ADHD/ASD and other common disorders. Being a coder can be a sign, the immediate feedback helps a bunch of us, or as Russel Barkely says “when you solve a problem on a paper, NOTHING HAPPENS”.

Edit: Rephrase.

Totally agree, I had the fortune to read Domain Driven Deign by Eric Evans early in my career. While, the book may be outdated, it helped me understand that my job is to turn the unknown or ambiguous into code. I find that much more exciting than being a coder.

Just do it, whenever you fix a bug, add a test case for it, the cost is not going to be noticeable. You may choose to not upload the test suite right away, but wait until someone notices and asks you about it.

Scientist:

That means: Either the clock works quickly or it works precisely – both are not possible at the same time.

Engineer: Explain that to my manager please!

Also, Engineer: Well, what if we accounted for error rate and fixed precision post-processing?

I kinda agree but you still need money to live and if I was able to work on open source projects while sustaining myself I would choose it anytime.

It’s astonishing how quickly the golden age of information is turning to the dark age of misinformation.
