A diminished timpani in the white noise of social dissolution.

Humor, probably.

[Accidentally posting from my 1%er account] Anyone have a cheap wholesaler for silverware? We had a banquet / NDA orgy and threw it all out since it was the 2024 series.

It's going to take me a while to reach 401k, but I'm looking forward to the guaranteed retirement it grants.

You know a software company is mired in enshittification when their once detailed app update notes now say "Bug fixes and performance improvements" for every release. Even though they wholly own the platform they're distributing updates on, they can't be bothered to tell you what actually changed.

If I HAD to perform a coply duty, I'd request the one that lifts the yellow crime tape for any detectives, victim's relatives, or protagonists that stumble into the scene.

The Man says "Cellar door" is the most beautiful English phrase, but I offer one better: Jerry Lawyer screaming "Puppies!" every time he sees a woman during RAW.

There once was a sentence that ran too long due to a punctuation shortage instituted by the department of grammar at the behest of our morally corrupt administration if you can believe such a thing and I could because I was there for the one in the 90s that impacted a whole chapter of Infinite Jest

Glad the hyper scalers could layoff hundreds of thousands to "optimize" themselves but couldn't be bothered to optimize THE ACTUAL TECHNOLOGY THEY OWN. Oligarchical scumbags

Post-DeepSeek, there isn’t really a compelling argument for investing hundreds of billions of capital expenditures in data centers, buying new GPUs, or even pursuing Large Language Models as they currently stand.

Post-DeepSeek, there isn’t really a compelling argument for investing hundreds of billions of capital expenditures in data centers, buying new GPUs, or even pursuing Large Language Models as they currently stand. It’s possible — and DeepSeek, through its research papers, explained in detail how — to build models competitive with both of OpenAI’s leading models, and that’s assuming you don’t simply build on top of the ones DeepSeek released. It also seriously calls into question what it is you’re paying OpenAI for in its various subscriptions — most of which (other than the $200-a-month “Pro” subscription) have hard limits on how much you can use OpenAI’s most advanced reasoning models. One thing we do know is that OpenAI and Anthropic will now have to either drop the price of accessing their models, and potentially even the cost of their subscriptions. I’d argue that despite the significant price difference between o1 and DeepSeek’s r1 reasoning model, the real danger to both OpenAI and Anthropic is DeepSeek v3, which competes with GPT-4o. DeepSeek’s narrative shift isn’t just commoditizing LLMs at large, but commoditizing the most expensive ones run by two monopolists backed by three other monopolists. Fundamentally, the magic has died. There’s no halo around Sam Altman or Dario Amodei’s head anymore, as their only real argument was “we’re the only ones that can do this,” something that nobody should’ve believed in the first place. Up until this point, people believed that the reason these models were so expensive was because they had to be, and that we had to build more data centers and buy more silicon because that was just how things were. They believed that “reasoning models” were the future, even if members of the media didn’t really seem to understand what they did or why they mattered, and that as a result they had to be expensive, because OpenAI and their ilk were just so smart, even though it wasn’t obvious what it was that “reasoning” did.

I'm guessing most of the "dogs of Amazon" from the error pages have been laid off at this point.

I've been leaving 1-star reviews on Google's Android apps because they're the worst type of bait and switch spyware (as are most of the biggest apps). BUT I did get a response from one that promised to pass my feedback along, so maybe they'll right the ship and put the consumer first now.

Now's your last chance to donate to my FundMeNow and have your donation matched (by me)! Don't miss this last call to help me do things like "buy a yacht" or "further entrench the means of production" well into the new year. Please, my family-run corporation depends on you!

Always paranoid that my neighbors heard me screeching inside my house about the Linux version of Nvidia's graphics drivers producing a lovely black screen once and they've all conspired to run inside when they see me about to walk the dog.

Mismatch Maid In Heaven (2021): This metaverse sequel to both Maid in Manhattan (2002) and Hitch (2005) finds Marissa (Jennifer Lopez) and Hitch (Will Smith) joining romantic forces to stop Hell's attack against Earth's best romcom couples. Rated PG-13 for sexual content, violence and tobacco use.
