@poleguy.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy@queroseno we put it on the tops of our Modelo beer cans after ice hockey games to drink in the parking lot.
¿Has probarlo con cerveza?
@poleguy.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyRandom thought. I'm a human, but in this thread I will answer the first ten "prompts" as if I were an LLM chat bot (commonly referred to as AI). Ask me anything! 0/10.
@poleguy.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyA kid developing a hoarding problem with the help of ai?
@bagder.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyReposted by @poleguy.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyBuckle up. One of the pending #curl CVEs that we publish next week is graded severity HIGH. Considered the worst flaw found in curl in several years.
Yes, found with AI.
@fairtradestu.mastodonapp.uk.ap.brid.gyReposted by @poleguy.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyThe second anniversary of this post is coming up, and surprise surprise these little "end of life" laptops are continuing to run well with #linux and do what we need them to, which includes spending less on tech so we can buy more actual books for the school […]
@futurebird.sauropods.win.ap.brid.gyReposted by @poleguy.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyI'm really glad that someone at ICE spoke to the media about what is going on in NJ. Putting people in a literal warehouse is disgusting. One of the people who spoke to the media said that "Miller" wanted it to be "inhumane" and dismissed their concerns about the dangers of this idea. Talking […]
@poleguy.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy@poleguy.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy@poleguy.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyRandom thought. In the context of software, I maybe don't mind seeing an expert user who cares deeply about their work using AI to extract encoded knowledge in the form of source code that they then use. An AI user like this will likely never even show up on my radar, because they'll be […]
@poleguy.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyBut unfortunately, there are many people who don't care much for the quality of their work and often produce very buggy code. I'd rather these people just stayed away from AI. The AI will amplify the volume of their work and it will likely have similarly high bug rates to the buggy code they […]
@poleguy.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy@poleguy.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyAnd then there are new users who produce buggy code not for lack of caring, but for lack of experience. I might not mind if these beginners use AI, so long as they would be putting in the time to become an expert in the code they produce...
@poleguy.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyMaybe it's like a megaphone. I'm happy to have a poet with a megaphone, or a church leader, or a protest leader railing against ICE. An expert. Or even a novice. But someone who cares to become an expert. But I really don't want some random kid with a megaphone. Not in my vicinity. #AI #software 3/n
@poleguy.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyBut these machines do not give credit to their sources. I routinely give credit to stack-overflow sources in my code comments. I do not credit AI. I can't... it's all stolen wisdom from the giants who came before us. And the profits are all going to the landowners, not the workers. And the […]

@yesjustwolf.hachyderm.io.ap.brid.gyReposted by @poleguy.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyI'm super excited! My `layout uv` PR was merged into direnv and shipped in v2.38.1. Jonas Chevalier was the final reviewer, decider, and he merged and released my PR. Many people contributed advice. I tried to write something that I needed myself, and in such a way it would be useful to everyone […]

I can't... sorry but this is […]
@poleguy.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyBang, bang... I just shot you. You're bleeding out.
If I see someone following me in real life and they are covering their face, and I can't identify them in any way, and they don't clearly announce who they are, the most likely answer these days is that they are ICE and are up […]
@poleguy.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyHa, this is the second time this month that I sent a post without including the @ mention for who it was directed two. And yet somebody liked my post despite its very specific intent. Otherwise I never would have noticed.
So does bigntallmike have any answers? Those rhetorical […]
