Regular reminder that when you go to things while sick, you are giving those germs to people with autoimmune disorders, you’re passing them to someone’s newborn, to someone’s elderly parents. It’s “just a cold” to you but it can and does severely impact countless people.

I am b e g g i n g people to mask up at major cons, *especially* ones with 5-digit crowd sizes!! Lightbox this weekend was absolutely ravaged; I’m hearing of SO many attendees and exhibitors who got sick from doing the show this year!! Please stay safe out there! 🙏 🙏

@hikikomorphism.bsky.social you've run a lot of model mind bending experiments, right? (I'm anxious I've got the wrong person) What model do you recommend for generating a written alien language? It would need to be able to generate SVGs of each symbol.

@torsosquirrel.bsky.social I really need to make these!

These are a real blast from the past for me: Chicken and Ham Pies are #RecipeOfTheDay! And as I say in my intro, “a pie is always a blessing.” www.nigella.com/recipes/chic...

I generated a story from a scenario and 45 personality profiles. I didn't expect to enjoy reading it as much as I did, flaws and all. Daily reports, journals, it felt more real than I expected. I won't inflict it on anyone else, don't worry!

what is the best github alternative today for private repos

AJC reposted

If you run a Node.js server, start it with --permission and grant only what it needs: — No network access if it only reads files — Limit file access to the directories it actually uses Here's how I locked down Slow Reader's server: github.com/hplush/slowr...

Do these still look too AI-generated? I think some of them are OK, but some still don't sit right with me. (this is for an "interactive movie/play adventure game" I'm bouncing around my head)

Bah, I tried the OmO harness and it blew through my tokens way too fast. Probably my fault, I thought it was using deepseek but it was using Kimi.

@pfrazee.com do you or any of your oomfs know of games where a small LLM is driving character behaviour other than player interaction? I was looking for existing ways to constrain behaviour to fit a storyline but still allow freedom for emergent stuff.

I'm finding most of the fun is in the creating, the making and refining. It's amusing to me because I honestly thought the final projects would be more rewarding. Although saying that, I wonder if I'm kidding myself and compensating for my ADHD scattershot brain not finishing stuff!

Westerns & the Old West@davidlambertart.bsky.social

One of the lesser known outlaws of the Old West was Rufus Nephew, aka Climax Jim. That's unfortunate because the man's life was a never ending series of crimes, arrests, acquittals, convictions & daring escapes. Here's a sampling of some of his very stupid adventures... 🧵

HAPPY #SEXWORKERSATURDAY! These posts always get me unfollowed by a few people here and there, oh well. If you don't like sex work, you can always just make sure your filters are set to not show NSFW. ANYWAYS: Tip, support, pay! Online sex work is a REAL JOB, with taxes and forms and everything!

It's an exploration game, imagine being dumped into a strange world after travelling through a wormhole like the Stargate movie. Part narrative puzzle game, part explorer and base builder.

It's amazing to me that I can get a working prototype game after 30 minutes work typing out my requirements, and 10 minutes of the LLM coding those in Rust.

So. A video game: You arrive through a wormhole, your team cannot go back. You are on a bare rocky plateau, it's pitch dark, your IR goggles show forest all around. You can send your drones out a short distance to explore. There are no stars visible.

Ultima Underworld with 4k graphics might be nice. Ultima VII would be pretty amazing. I also want to create a ringworld exploration game but I'm unsure how to make it compelling.

I guess z.ai wanted their GLM infrastructure hammered, so they gave out 500M tokens to their subscribers? It's great but their servers being unavailable so often is onerous.

Car interior safety. Music availability. Headphone quality. Food variety. The supercomputer in your pocket that is a high quality camera, can tell where you are in the world, can text via satellite, can store vast amounts of data, and can transmit said data at gigabits per second wirelessly.

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

I downloaded the latest dataset of #WSocial 's verified records. I found: - records showing the legal name, nationality and approx. date of birth of 2457 users - 8 birthdays in the name field (their real birthdays, probably) - the two minors are still there But it's all public by design, remember?

Ohh, the subreddit has announced a few days ago that the deepseek-v4.1-flash *is* 1017 on Opencode go.

AJC@acjc.mu.social

@thdxr.com the opencode bluesky account shows "handle invalid", I couldn't reach its profile page. Is there an opencode person (apart from you, who I really don't want to bug) who can answer a question? Q: is opencode Go plus using deepseek-v4.1-flash-1017 yet?

I hate seeing a headline like "firebrand youth leader is the face of movement against old fascist". It's like a fucking death sentence.

Oh god. My mum just saw my open source project and is livid that I'm giving it away for free. "How will you protect it?" "People will steal it" Help. Halp.

It's brain breakingly evil. I can't imagine what Amy Acton is going through. I hope she has an amazing support network.

Tressie McMillan Cottom@tressiemcphd.bsky.social

Do you know how bad the abuse has to be for a judge to remove kids from their birth mother? Just saw Amy Acton’s CNN interview about that Ramaswamy ad and , listen, I lived in NC through the Willie Horton ad era. I’m not precious. This is so disgusting that I wish I believed in hell. I really do.

What did they think students were there for? Funding the football team?

@okami.mom the first pass at the canvas view for Sóþspell/sothspell. I got the agents to do pretty much what I wanted, but there's some little details I need to revisit.

i don’t mind; mine is mostly built on svelte flow but i’m bastardizing it to fit my purposes. you may be able to do something nicer from scratch, but svelte flow is nicely made on its own and gives a good base

At least LLMs don't yell at you if you decide that the project needs to be rewritten in a different language.

for those only dimly aware of cybersecurity people screaming, "a security certificate which underpins the entire internet used '4' for a private key that is supposed to be 116 digits long" and "a popular web language lets anyone run code on your server" are two different issues from the same day

"you didn't wash your hands after transferring the samples, did you?" "what? how can you tell?"

For the ZX Spectrum lovers, there was enough documentation around to also simulate the whole Spectrum PCB with very precise ULA emulation (cross checked with the actual gates implementing it). On my GitHub as usually.
