What stickers you you all have?
jade.ellis.link Jade @jade.ellis.link · 11d
Finally put stickers on my laptop :3
A pink laptop covered in stickers and some nail polish. Stickers include openshift with black tendrils growing off the top, owls, a mountain, "take a hike", Sass, robot friend, metabrainz, MusicBrainz, apple with a pink?, I've heard of that, a panda, a climber, a camera with a map background, and a banana.

This post is worth reading regarding git. It does raise questions about the resilience of that history if it's only in GitHub pull requests, though.

Hey @ash.pink, do you have any plans with github.com/juice49/json...? ATM it's incompatible with verbatimModuleSyntax, which is causing some errors for me. Wanted to fix it + add some CI, etc

Being a Greta Thunberg doesn't need to mean getting up on TV either, doing advocacy is important, running that project you genuinely believe the world is better off with is important.

Do shit. Even when it looks impossible.

we need a lot more greta thunbergs and a lot fewer people who assess that things are getting worse and shut down

Turns out all the major LLMs (GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, Llama 3) struggle to understand Gen Alpha phrases, like "let him cook", "ate that up", "got ratioed", "secure the bag" etc. Research paper written by a soon-to-be 9th grader www.404media.co/ai-models-an...
AI Models And Parents Don’t Understand ‘Let Him Cook’
LLMs are not familiar with “ate that up,” “secure the bag,” and “sigma,” showing that training data is not yet updated to Gen Alpha terminology.

I got tired of AI scrapers attacking my server to the point they took it down entirely. After some experimentation, I think I have a solution now!

Friendly reminder to set your DNS TTL higher, especially if you run federated software.

matrix.ellis.link alone was queried 1 million times in the past 5 days.
Shows a graph, labelled "Queries (per 15 minutes)". Graph shows from Mon 21 to Tue 22. Blue line peaks at 2.4k queries per 15 minutes. After 15:00 queries dramatically drop, to around 1k per 15 minutes
