For the first time ever, I had to make a payment in crypto.

I can now confidently say that crypto payments combine the speed of a dial up modem and the ease of updating the drivers on a 1998 HP Laserjet printer.

This mural has gone up in Kingston, ostensibly for Christmas but AI has ensured it's actually to celebrate the return of our dark lord Cthulhu

Selleribiff.
Hva er greia?
Så ofte når jeg ber om vegetaralternativer får jeg servert "selleribiff" som altså er en skive sellerirot som er grillet.
Hele poenget med biff fra et nærings-ståsted er at det gir proteiner.
Det er ingen proteiner i sellerirot.

Read the letter:
“Dear President von der Leyen, We, experts in artificial intelligence (Al) and its societal impacts, are deeply concerned about your unscientific and inaccurate statement that Al is nearing human reasoning. You claimed in your budget speech in May "we thought Al would only approach human reasoning around 2050. Now we expect this to happen already next year." We understand from Commission disclosure, which followed a lengthy process to obtain this information, that you relied on the statements of Dario Amodei, Jensen Huang and Sam Altman as the basis for your statement about Al nearing human reasoning. These are marketing statements driven by profit-motive and ideology rather than empirical evidence and formal proof. In short, these tech CEOs claims concerning "superintelligence" and "AGI" are manifestly bound with their financial imperatives and not rigorous science. For the President of the European Commission to repeat the misleading marketing language of US technology firms without independent scientific verification undermines Europe's credibility as a reliable and trusted source of scientific knowledge. This is particularly so amidst a significant speculative bubble to which baseless Al hype is contributing. It also undermines the ability of Commission staff to evaluate the claims of Al vendors at a time when the Commission regulates them and procures Al services. The Commission has the duty to diligently assess claims made by industry and to determine with impartial and scholarly analysis where best the objectives of the Union should be pursued. The scientific development of any potentially useful Al is not served by amplifying the unscientific marketing claims of US tech firms. We call on you to: 1. retract your statement on Al approaching human reasoning next year; 2. diligently evaluate other such marketing claims about Al products; and 3. ensure you have the benefit of the necessary impartial scientific advice in future.”

Mannen min var med på denne hemmelige testen og de fant altså ingen ting som ikke var dokumentert av produsenten. Ja, de hadde software installert som kan oppdateres. Det er vanlig det nå. Hvorfor skulle ikke kinesiske busser ha det når amerikanske kjøretøy har det?

Ruters egne tester viser: Oslo-elbusser kan stoppes og slås av fra Kina
Ruter-test viser at kinesiske elbusser kan kontrolleres fra Kina. Hundrevis av busser fra samme produsent er i trafikk på norske veier.

“Critics keep talking as if it’s useles, but it isn’t. It’s cheap and even though it has some flaws, is extraordinarily effective at some of its use cases.”

“So, what? Are we supposed to accept all the downsides of LLMs just because it’s occasionally useful?”

“LLMs? No I’m talking about asbestos.”

I dag skriver jeg i Dagsavisen om norsk klima- og oljepolitikk, som i 30 år har blitt forsøkt adskilt fra hverandre. Norge kan ikke bare betale Brasil for å la skogen stå, vi må også la olje ligge.

Norge ut av oljetåka
I 35 år har norsk klimapolitikk blitt underordnet oljepolitikken. Denne høsten har de rødgrønne en sjanse til å peile ut en tryggere kurs.

Man oppnår ingen markedseffekter når én innkjøper, (uten kontakt med brukerne av det som kjøpes), gir én og én leverandør monopol på å levere tjenester i 3-10-års-perioder.

Det er helt vilt at vi har en så dårlig strategi for bruk av privat sektor i det offentlige

3 episode kjører heis litt opp og ned. @christingorman.bsky.social er kanskje den tydeligste stemmen, og den sterkeste lederstjenerne for utviklerne i Norge, men hun har ikke ville hatt lederroller. Det gjorde det til en spennede samtale. heis.fm/episode/3
Episode 3: Christin Gorman - heis.fm
Selveste Christin Gorman! Vi snakker om hvorfor hun har valgt bort formell ledelse for å kunne kode i team, hvordan hun forvalter sitt uformelle lederskap, hvordan hun lager historiene sine og hvorfor...

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, "no. get out."

Luke warm tech take:

I think the roots of DevOps are rotting.

I think it’s because a lot of folks weren’t around in the Before Times. They don’t know what it was a reaction to, and so people are recreating the same conditions.

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok
