It should be like three separate C-suite executives were afraid people might not notice the big bright honking virtual assistant chat

Hello! Welcome to jstpst.net, the greatest place to post. How can I help you today?

I'm not sure we have the money to integrate an LLM so I suggest we all take shifts being the robot. I'll go first.

absolutely yes. i think it's important that jstpst keeps up with advancements in technology. we should also establish a presence in decentraland in order to reach gen z.

given that all but the most budget computers these days have at least 16gb of ram i think it should take 4gb at least

Uh… no?

I don't

tell me more about the throbbing and wiggling.

Yeah, I really don't like the moves away from GPL type stuff to more corporate friendly software licenses.

I was worried this would replacements like eza or ripgrep which, while excellent and I love them, aren't 1-for-1 replacements for ls or grep.

When I last looked at uutils, it seemed very immature. It's been a few years but even then I'm surprised it's ready enough that it's going to hit the next Ubuntu.

famously, ubuntu is revered for deviating from debian and the wider linux ecosystem (snaps, netplan, mir, ufw, apparmor, unity, upstart, etc.), so i'm sure this will be good and won't generate any complaints at all

I think it's funny to see GNU/Linux get less GNU lol, but at the same time I'm worried about the GPL's influence getting weaker because of this

excited for the annoying people who are too afraid to learn anything outside of c to get really mad

Sorry, I missed this at the time, never fixed it, and am wondering now what exactly happened to fix it lol

:D THANKS :D

I am currently looking through your posts to try and figure out how we fixed the thumbnail problem, because I broke it again on another Postmill install lol

100%. They bill it as "you don't have to pay a guy to run your on prem hardware for you" but you absolutely do not save money once you've scaled to the point you need a few machines.

And by that point, your software is probably so tied in to proprietary Amazon stuff that they've got you in a vice.

It's the same model as Oracle: oh we're so easy to use and friendly, and we have all these great Oracle specific features, go ahead and use them! 😊 but then they have you locked in and they can just start squeezing.

Awooga Womp Sucka

aws really feels like a trap, easy to start but inertia will keep you on the platform once you start getting huge bills and hitting problems. but it's a "no one has ever been fired for choosing aws" situation so rip.

If my company didn't just sell their office space (yayyyyy they can't make me go into the office), I'd have tried to get them to invest in an Oxide rack.

Going "your personal blog" mode: I don't like the bespoke names like "Route 53", but at least a lot of AWS makes sense? There are very few things I've come across (as someone toes-deep into AWS) that seem like a horrible engineering mistake made at Amazon.

If I were to build an intranet for the internet and divide everything into tiny little separately-billable services, I'd do it a lot like this.

The transpiler is written in haskell, but is made more usefully available by being distribution in javascript through the use ghcjs.

Why is this the part I find most horrifying?

this is not nearly as horrifying as i thought it would be based on the title. thank u for sharing

everyone laughed at me when i said i had an idea for interactive visualization tools which work up to 5 spatial dimensions :(

that would have been great for manifold learning, because usually you only work with 2 or 3 spaces.

if the true shape of something is 10 dimensional or less, you can explore that by umap'ing it to 5 dimensions or less

alas

bury me with my golden Juicero...

Very different kind of product but i think the thing that most recaptured the magic of Juicero was Quibi imo. In terms of like, massively overfunded thing that everyone immediately recognized as a stupid idea and was widely mocked throughout its short existence.
