♫ I am a language model of a modern major general
I’m trained upon a giant mass of textual material
I’ve billions of parameters and answer questions various
Responses range from perfect to unwittingly hilarious
I’m very well acquainted too with matters mathematical
As long as with correctness you’re not overly fanatical
While many complex queries I can easily elucidate
I have an awkward tendency to freewheel and hallucinate ♫

If you think you don't need to see a Muppet re-enact Vanessa Carlton's "A Thousand Miles" music video in San Francisco, think again. Love this and great production values. #VanessaCarlton #AThousandMiles #SanFrancisco youtu.be/Vb5y-kY6nVw

"We believe it’s important for Mastodon to be good as a product on its own merits, and not just because of its ideology. If we only attract people who already care about decentralization, our ability to make decentralization mainstream becomes that much harder."

I’m in Athens, Georgia, where the railroad trestle from the back cover of R.E.M.’s MURMUR, after being on the verge of collapsing for years, was not only saved by the city and locals but has been incorporated into a beautiful new rail trail, so if you’re wondering how we can get more bikeable and walkable infrastructure, the answer is to get more bands to put existing structures in need of repair on their albums.

In Germany it is a long weekend coming up.

It is your chance to rewrite an OSS project. Don't let doubters distract you. We'll talk again on Tuesday!😍

I just learned there is a type of #bird in #Japan called Shima Enaga and it is so goddamn #cute I'm pissed that I'm just now learning about it. Look at it. LOOK AT IT! IT'S MADE OF SUNLIGHT AND SASS!

Part of my day job is maintaining and expanding a Win32 / MFC / C++ / C app I originally wrote over 25 years ago. It works well, a couple thousand people use it every day and say nice things, and it’s backwards compatible to XP, which some of our clients still have.

This week, I started exploring a re-write, using modern Windows languages and frameworks, with the idea than surely — surely — things have become significantly less complex in the last couple of decades.

Oh.

Oh, no.

Oh, God, no.

So folks, don't forget to check if your Ikea chair is compatible with your screen. I'm not kidding. A thread 🧵.

I've had the problem with my new screen for several weeks now, that every now and then the screen goes black for a few seconds.

Today I had enough and wanted to investigate the problem. So I started changing all the cables, plugging the screen into a different socket, and and and. Nothing helped.
