ChatGPT thinks everything is brilliant.

Awesome. Everything is awesome.

You might use this what-if as a starter.

At the start of the scenario, the entire Earth’s population has been magically transported together into one place.

This crowd takes up an area the size of Rhode Island.

For me it’s also the breadth of people there.

Don’t want to choke on the feathers.

What’s your sources? Begging your pardon, that looks like a perfectly standard GPT answer.

I think he got them from a guy named Sam.

But I want to know-- will be eat them on a train?

The forest was burning, so he rescued them. Now he will put them back, lovingly, on the stove for breakfast for him and his five children.

Those poor eggs.

Out of the fire,

and into the frying pan.

The answer is, on the outside.

without the formatting complexity of markdown

Not a sentence I expected to read ever!

But it does actually make sense, in a sort of way. I… um… Half of me predicts this is going to be awful. The other half is superbly excited on several levels and one of those levels makes me want to get it and give it a try asap. I’m going to bookmark this post to find it again once I’ve got my self hosting setup working better!

Can someone tell me what’s meant by,

The repository describes bitnet.cpp as offering “a suite of optimized kernels that support fast and lossless inference of 1.58-bit models on CPU

Does it mean you need to run your OS with a specific kernel from bitnet.cpp? Or is it a different kind of ‘kernel’?

On a real note, though, it had a great Haskell mode I much miss now doing Julia in Vim. Being able to write code snippets in the editor then shunt them into the interpreter in the other pane is so good. Every now and again I tell myself I’ll learn EViL and check out Emacs again. And it still starts faster than some electron-based ide.

Ah, the ecumenicalist.

Like comparing Microsoft Office to Markdown.

+1 for Inkscape. I have no experience with the commercial competition but I’ve found Inkscape awesome, and used it for things it was probably never intended for.

I’m also looking forward to trying Immich, but I’m slowed down because I decided I should learn podman and use that instead of docker!

I do a lot of photo organising myself with file structure and timestamp filenames, but it looks like I can have Immich see my ‘proper’ library of files, and for the family it’s hopefully a helpful tool.

Does anyone know how well the iPhone app works? I had problems with the next cloud app, which otherwise was great for connecting my general web of tech with an iPhone.

… tja and Tja; are these your alt accounts?

Especially on mobile FOSS often makes a big difference to user experience cleanness, not just privacy/freedom that you’ll be glad for later.

Thanks for bringing this up. I almost thought to try Joplin again, from this post. But for me, having my files as files for me to use as I please etc, is too important. I guess the Joplin way works for some.

Vi! Vi! Vi!

Yes!!

Love Simon Tatham’s puzzle collection. I’ve enjoyed it for years; these days I use the hardest setting on the 6x6 towers puzzle when I can’t get to sleep: see if I can solve one or two without any intermediate notes (just fixing each actual tower number, and without trying out and going back) before my brain runs out and is ready to sleep.
