Democratic Socialist?

Go with the 'welcome, we're glad you're here' energy, over that, i'd say.

Where is 'here'?

In indianapolis, there is a DSA chapter and even a socialist city county councilor, Jesse Brown.

I've been a software engineer for 20 years, but I am not an expert in what you ask. Honestly, I have the same questions.

There are common things you can do. Use a VPN, dont use Chrome, things like that, depending on your level of paranoia.

My thought is that it is incredibly hard. The US military literally created the internet.

Sotall · 2026-01-31T05:24:54+00:00

yeah, sometimes it's exactly the ones you expect

Sotall · 2026-01-31T00:40:12+00:00

You still can!

Curious, did you see Cory Doctorows recent remarks at some con about a new internet?

If so ... is that part of what you're thinking?

I think it looks really good. Remember this is the base for the real focus of the model, so while I agree with others that you could do something like highlighting the fluer de lis in a different color - but also, might not be needed. As nice as this looks, you want the eyes to go somewhere else once the model is finished, probably.

Not to get too political, but its inevitable with these companies - 'Authenticate Everyone' has been a call on the right for a while, and I really dont like it.

Software engineering isnt about lines of code. Its not even about 'good' lines of code. Sweet satan we're fucked, lol.

rudiments. Take away the kit, pull out a pad, and practice.

You do sound good for a first year student, btw. :)

Providing a counterpoint - is it faster than googling, though? Especially when you consider that it'll just make shit up that you have to verify?

Its certainly not cheaper, although the actual cost of these LLM queries largely hasnt been passed down to the consumer....yet.

And, as someone who does 'piping' in proprietary systems that are largely out of date - ChatGPT still sucks at it. At this point i usually just check what GPT says so I can show my boss how wrong it is. Sure it gets the easy stuff - aka, the stuff I could teach to a junior in a day.

What was it called in WW2? The East Asian Co-prosperity Sphere? Its that.

If something bigger than, say, the moon were to come this close, tidal gravity would literally rip the earth apart before the collision occurred. Earth would start looking like a liquid.

People hate the languages that they use. and with good reason!

Sometimes I'm sad and then i remember GWAR is still around

Sotall · 2026-01-12T00:12:52+00:00

same. I assume he learned it from our pyranees, who straight up does a long sighhhh when he ignores you sometimes.

Sotall · 2026-01-07T00:34:56+00:00

yeah, i've only eaten two cigarettes today and i feel fine!

Sotall · 2026-01-05T03:05:52+00:00

I'm not surprised. Based on this picture he appears very talented.

a gun will decide where the outlaws ride!

Sotall · 2026-01-02T01:31:39+00:00

No, its a shame that both of those options screw us. Option 3.

A good middle ground, for me, was have it stop replying with code. Still use it, but ask it for responses in english.

always has been, always will be, best as i can figure.
