A lot of people are finding the Mac Neo very interesting given how unfriendly the whole Win11 experience has become. Either MS learns or the market teaches them the same lessons IBM learnt.

With the Mac neo, some of us will not have to tolerate Win 11. They were forcing us to upgrade, well, they made people upgrade to the Mac neo. An all metal Apple notebook that isn't actively user hostil is a massive quality upgrade for most people.

We should be friends. I like your ideas.


I'm always looking for people to share my weird ideas that have absolutely nothing to do with software or computers. Unfortunately my only friends are all software people who have no interest outside of computers. Something I've found to have very little interest in anymore.


Did you see this last year about the origins of potatoes?

I'd like to get into grafting fruit trees, my uncle was a major fruit eater and filled the yard with many varieties of apples and pears. The apple tree where I live was a mess and I've jsut started the pruning to get it under control.

I moved out of software things myself and now do things around the home and outside more and more.

What I do is i ask claude or codex to run models on ollama and test them sequentially on a bunch of tasks and rate the outputs. 30 minutes later I have a fit. It even tested the abliterated models.


Can you share the prompts?


Far more people are coding and participating and creating things now than before. Doesn't matter what you call it. There is enough excitement.


The US' honor system hasn't worked out with this level of rule breaking and brazen corruption. The Nazis seem to be on their way back to power.


I had problems with tailscale being flaky about a year ago and it would stop responding taking down networking with it. I've since ripped it out and went with a VPS based wireguard for all PCs and mobiles. Stable since then.


Summary: Venezuela just lost its oil.


India has a huge fake jobs problem. I think it is because of the number of "HR consultants" who constantly need to refresh their databases with "fresh" resumes. I've seen the same jobs being posted for over 8 years with no change whatsoever other than the keyword updates.


That's a funny mechanism. So these are fake jobs that HR consultants (recruiters?) use to harvest resumes?

What's the angle here?


They can submit those resumes to other positions.

This type of recruiter often is paid based on # of resumes furnished, not actually filling the position, so the incentives are completely misaligned.


That's fine IF tech stays out of politics, but that's not the case anymore. US tech bros are buying themselves policy with this administration.

If tech is influencing politics and consequently, all of us, why should there be an asymmetry when the tech plebs want to talk politics?


No its just unqualified fine. Asserting everything is political "because tech bros" is word salad.

I downvote politics because its repetitive, uninteresting in itself, and uninteresting in the comments.

Go somewhere else to obsess about whatever stupid thing Trump did today.
