I think using generative LLMs is a souless thing to do. Even with coding, especially with coding.

Soulless folks love to kill art. Don't let them kill your spark.

"Practice any art, music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction, essays, reportage, no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what's inside you, to make your soul grow."

Kurt Vonnegut

@hosford42 one of the main proofs for me is watching someone having writer's block or feeling writer's block hit when you're trying to code.

Burnout is a creative symptom. Same with inspiration when you code. It's that creative impulse that must be nurtured.

@hosford42 as an erstwhile mathematician now herding bugs for a living I wholeheartedly agree that mathematics (my 1st career) and coding (my predominant and current career) are artistic endeavours.

You don't just look for the solution.. you strive to find the ELEGANT solution. The equation/code that not only succinctly solves the problem at hand but does so in a precise and agreeable manner that borders on beauty.

It's a hard task to explain beauty in the context of math/code to a layman (and heaven knows I've tried) .. I usually direct them to Eulers identity e^ipi + 1 = 0. Precious few get it.

Cos’è per te un amico,
perché tu debba cercarlo
per ammazzare il tempo?
Cercalo sempre per vivere il tempo.
Deve colmare infatti le tue necessità,
non il tuo vuoto.
E nella dolcezza dell’amicizia
ci siano risate,
e condivisione di momenti gioiosi.
Poiché nella rugiada
delle piccole cose
il cuore trova il suo mattino
e si rinfresca.

Kahlil Gibran

from the West Coast, I've noticed there's some sites that haven't been available today. They've been up and down for the last couple hours.

800 people from Alligator Alcatraz can not be located and have no records in the ICE databases. This could be horrible (maybe intentional) record keeping or maybe we already have death camps in the US.

EL VORAVIU | No es frustració

Mathematicians occasionally uses "tack" symbols, ⊥ and ⊤, for various purposes. They're called that because they look like thumb-tacks from the side. But if you need a particular tack, what do you call it? Is "⊥" the "up" tack, because the pointy bit is up? Or is "⊤" the "up" tack, because it's the normal, safe orientation for using a thumb-tack?

Today I learned that not only do people disagree about this, the two approaches are delightfully named the "London" and "Bosworth" conventions.

Even better, the symbols in Unicode were initially named according to the Bosworth convention, then renamed to the London convention, BUT NOT ALL OF THEM! So U+234E APL FUNCTIONAL SYMBOL DOWN TACK JOT is actually an up-tack, and vice-versa. Nothing can ever be simple. 😀

I bought another thing while out #thrifting. :neocat_3c:

I went to look up a manual because wanted to know what the TPS button did. First search result I clicked turned out to be a *service* manual. :neocat_think_owo:

@taylorhayis ugh. No fun allowed. There was a thrift store I had to stop shopping at because it made my blood boil: they had their e-waste visible from the the sales floor and it was always stacked with crt tvs and monitors they would not even try to sell, but also would refuse if asked. :neocat_glare:

I generally don’t care for seeing more parking wastelands in city limits, but I wasn’t the least bit upset when I learned the strip mall they were in was bought by the city and leveled to make more parking for the stadium across the street.

I was a bit miffed to see the retail chain in question pop up with a new location much closer to my house a few months later… until I decided to check it out shortly after opening day and walked out with an Apple crt monitor. Wonder what changed.

in reply to ThatKomputerKat

I feel that pain! I’m in a fight with my local council (who’s supposedly the green one) about letting my repair cafe access e waste at the dump - they are typical gov, doing nothing. So I park my big landcruiser in front of the cameras and help myself 😜
Told them in a meeting and they were cool with it.
Everyone is hamstrung by policy they can’t be fucked trying to change 🙁

Massachusetts cranberry bogs restored into wetlands amid economic headwinds


As cranberry prices fall due to global competition, and costs increase due to labor issues, higher utility costs and extreme weather, cranberry farmers like Jarrod Rhodes are part of the Massachusetts Division of Ecological Restoration's Cranberry Bog Program that pays farmers to turn unproductive bogs back into wetlands. CBS Boston Meteorologist Jacob Wycoff reports.


This regime is made entirely of people who have listed pizza as their favorite food since grade 2.

Maybe, MAYBE chicken nuggets.

I'm certain nobody in the West Wing has seen the inside of a Thai restaurant.

I think Stephen Miller is the only cat to grow up in LA without eating a single taco.
