My feed is just full of rage-baiting political posts and I'm over it .. anyone have any suggestions for actual interesting content I can follow here on BlueSky .. it's becoming a bit of a snooze-fest as is

I needed to get out of the mid day heat yesterday so I went and saw the latest Marvel superhero (antihero?) movie to kill a few hours .. instead I saw a surprisingly deep and nuanced take about childhood trauma, isolation, depression and dealing with mental health issues. Actually made me tear up ..

every once in a while I wonder why the hell I'm still on LinkedIn .. it stopped being a decent place to find a job years ago .. but then today I stumbled upon one of the best flame wars I've seen in years .. truly a masterpiece #HeilGit #GitDaFuqOuttaHere

I finally settled on writing js code with VsCode + Roo + OpenRouter .. working great so far. But thinking about C# and VS Studio GitHub integrations now .. hearing good things. Anyone got experience #VibeCoding #CSharp #.Net

I'm dreaming of a workflow with a thinking model pkus: voice chat, GitHub, Jira, filesystem and web search thru MCP tools. Looking at cline, windsurf, cursor and Claude Code as options. Dreaming about a Manus invite .. What's your setup like?

I don’t want to pretend that it’s easy to define “bias” or “pluralism,” but I bet we can proceed more reflectively than this.

Meta introduced Llama 4 models and added this section near the very bottom of the announcement 😬

“[LLMs] historically have leaned left when it comes to debated political and social topics.”

ai.meta.com/blog/llama-4...
Meta Addressing bias in LLMs It's well-known that all leading LLMs have had issues with bias-specifically, they historically have leaned left when it comes to debated political and social topics. This is due to the types of training data available on the internet. Our goal is to remove bias from our Al models and to make sure that Llama can understand and articulate both sides of a contentious issue. As part of this work, we're continuing to make Llama more responsive so that it answers questions, can respond to a variety of different viewpoints without passing judgment, and doesn't favor some views over others. We have made improvements on these efforts with this release—Llama 4 performs significantly better than Llama 3 and is comparable to Grok: • Llama 4 refuses less on debated political and social topics overall (from 7% in Lama 3.3 to below 2%). • Llama 4 is dramatically more balanced with which prompts it refuses to respond to (the proportion of unequal response refusals is now less than 1% on a set of debated topical questions). • Our testing shows that Llama 4 responds with strong political lean at a rate comparable to Grok (and at half of the rate of Llama 3.3) on a contentious set of political or social topics. While we are making progress, we know we have more work to do and will continue to drive this rate further down. We're proud of this progress to date and remain committed to our goal of eliminating overall bias in our models.

This is pretty hilarious .. and honestly any manager still relying on #LeetCodeBs to filter candidates is just a lazy interviewer
