Being asked to do a passthrough shader for an adult content media player.
Them selling it as it being like the fucking newest invention.
Bitches. I was doing that back in 2018.
Still, good money for literally 60 minutes work...7 -
I hate wen people nag. If I say I'm going to do something, I'll do it.
You don't need to whine every six months4 -
That heart attack when important data isn't showing anymore, and you missed the note as to why, so now you're stressed out because you don't know what and how hard you fucked up
Also, fuck the dude for saying he did the deploy, telling the testers to test and only an hour or 2 later saying he didn't deploy to the right env2 -
You know what sucks? When AI appears smart but its explaination is so over your head you don't even fully grasp if it is bullshitting or not.
For reference, what the following does is decomposes several runs of a network, takes them as samples, then generates a distribution with those samples. It then applies a fourier transform on the samples, to get the frequency components of the networks derivatives (first and second order), in order to find winning subnetworks to tune, and enforces a gaussian distribution in the process.
I sort of understand that, but the rest is basically rocket science to me.
Starts with an explanation of basic neural nets and goes from there. Most of the meat of the discussion is at the bottom.

KDE Plasma can't into animations. I mean they can be beautiful, but they are immediately preceded, as well as followed, by ~200ms of all sorts of flashing visual fuckery that completely ruins everything.
So I just went and disabled every animation I could. Now it's time to disable animations in my browser as well.
Now KDE feels scary fast. If macOS felt like a fast but comfortable SUV, KDE without animations feels like a 1000hp all-manual EXO-car.
Knowing that a modern SUV can be remotely hacked and steered into ongoing traffic at 100mph, I would argue that an all-manual car is safer, at least for a certain kind of people.8 -
Using chatpgt as my "rubber duck" has greatly improved the time it takes me to develop solutions. Ive been working at a small startup as the full stack dev; aka the entire IT team dev so having someone to 'talk' to that talks back really helps.
but damn, the way openAI brushes off where they get their training data and having so many artist friends IRL (painters, digital artists and musicians) really makes me hate what we have AI/ML doing for us.
seeing it used for the arts makes me feel so depressed because im reminded that big corpos really just want to make money for the investors.10 -
Technology is so fucked sometimes. Often I wish that we've stopped at the Tamagotchi. It also didn't have audio jack, usb and took ages on it's battery. Communicated more clear that GPT.
Also, with a Tamagotchi you always have at least one friend to talk to.7 -
Our metro system spend as much in salary and infrastructure designed to make sure you pay tickets than the money from the actual ticket sales.
So basically you're paying tickets to have bareers and controllers. And then you pay taxes to run trains.
It's fucking racket.10 -
Streamii, you make jokes, but i don't. I deliver: https://molodetz.nl/project/...
A tamagotchi written in C using R especially for you. I'm sure it will work for 20 years. Cherish it.8 -
it's so comforting to live with Debian knowing that Debian is a journey, not destination. Slowly, step by step, you hone this system to be _exactly_ as you want it. it's computing on your terms.
I'm yet to wrap my head around the fact that what's on my screen is for my eyes only, and no one else anywhere in the world sees it, human or AI.6 -
They say 90% of code will be generated by AI.
I say 90% of code is already copy paste from old projects or the internet. 😂6 -
Mojang/ Microsoft no longer understands semantic versioning??
They released a new update for Minecraft, 1.21.5 - but it:
- Adds new features
- Breaks backwards compatibility
Look at this. The left side of the screen was generated in 1.21.5, the right side was in 1.21.4 You can literally see the split down the middle where the trees generate differently because of the update.
This doesn't *matter* but it's just bothersome to me! Fuck you! I'll rant about whatever, no matter how small!20 -
Yesterday I left an open bag of fried chicken flavourd chips in the office. This morning the entire office smelled like Colonel Sanders had paid a visit.13

What's your take on the Ghimli studio drama.
Here is mine.
So for reminder, apparently shitGPT started generating images (big whoop) and all the normies are using it to mimic their favorite japan cringy anime.
Which apparently isn't to the taste of the anime drawer, who is apparently trying to sue everyone for copying his art style. Including not only chat GPT, but individual users as well.
So:
1. IA is a gadget. It's pretty convenient but if you think it will fundamentally change the fabric of society, you're an idiot.
2. There is no such thing as IntEllECtuAl ProperTy
3. Metallica's singer is a bitchtard. Suing for people to steal your music is the opposite of metal, retard. Same shit for the japan retard, i'll never watch your ghimlee shit now. Princess mononoke my balls, more like streissand so close no matter how far my dick. I hate you and I want your nails removed and then your finger dipped in salt.15 -
