@[email protected] @[email protected] Turns out that I could now right some pretty stunning work flow software for managing processes that happen at 'real world' rather than digital speeds, though. Getting computers to run reliably and without bankrupting you at the speed of "Bob from finance answers an email" is actually quite an interesting puzzle.

@[email protected] @[email protected] Please, please. As a couple of years ago I wrote an agentic framework (before the surrounding landscape got rather better defined) I can tell you that you're missing the true depth and complexity here.

It's a loop that runs so slowly and unreliably you need to persist steps to have a hope of it running successfully, and which needs subloops to repeatedly tell it to try again when it attempts to use other software until it gives valid input. Then you rewrite the stack trace so that only the correct trigger is stored in the hope you don't run out of effective memory before actually doing whatever it is you're trying to do. It's so much more than a loop!

Kinda just waiting for Google to announce they're dropping Gmail to force me to do an enormous amount of transfer work on sorry notice when I have very few spoons. I mean they've done enough I'd like to move stuff at this point but a deadline to do so would be the gone of cheese frosting on an already disappointing cake...

@[email protected] In the browser logs I see an "Layout element not found" line, but that seems to be there even on the other feed pages without causing an issue.

In the server logs it is hard to find anything relevant as it is rather drowned in "Possible n+1 query" warnings. I've attached something that might be relevant, but I may need some pointers of how to isolate logs that could be related.

@[email protected] Running it already!

Hmm. I seem to be having some issues with search. Do I need to change anything on the config side for 1.0.4? (Trying to tag somebody in the composer is showing me ActivityPub IDs, not tags, and trying to use the search box just starts a UI reload loop)

@[email protected] @[email protected] Confucius often seems to feel like the Worf of philosophers. Every thinker of the episode gets to show how clever and wise they are by outwitting him, until at some point you begin to wonder 'how wise actually is he?'

@[email protected] @[email protected] Yeah, this is the single biggest thing that to me makes it completely clear that there is no connection between current job schenanigans and actual AI capability. Tech companies have been claiming that they're limited by how hard it is to hire skilled staff for years, and then we're told that their response to those staff becoming more productive is to... fire them?

At that point it feels like there's only really three conclusions to choose from: the person saying these things has catestropically bad business sense, they're lying, or both.

@[email protected] And some more stuff #test2

Don't mind me, just testing some stuff. #test

Checked if there was a @[email protected] release for the first time in a few days and noticed there was, and then was puzzled when I couldn't download the container image.

On double checking the time stamps, turns out I had tried to pull the image less than 2 minutes after Mayel pushed the commit.

@[email protected] looks for the I agree with this post but like/heart is not the appropriate response button

@[email protected] I think the problem is how much of the info is actually useful (or even necessary). By the time you've got timezone, language, light/dark theme, and network required stuff you're already fairly uncommon if maybe not unique.

Some bits you could make the argument - like version of browser, which is sort of benefit to share in aggregate but not as an individual. I've known people that have chosen to override user-agent and other info, but unless it becomes the default for a large number of people it just fingerprints you in a different way.

@[email protected] @[email protected] I had a Nepalese friend who was introduced to expressos while being shown how to use the office coffee machine at a new job.

Assuming the small portion had been because the person showing him wasn't sure if he'd like this type of coffee, he rolled in the next morning and kept on hitting the espresso button until his large mug was full. He relates it was a memorable experience, and the finger tremers had mostly stopped after 24 hours.

@[email protected] Ah, the lovely "we'll email you in plain text the only string that will ever work" systems. Right up there with systems that silently turn any 'illegal' character into a '_' without notice. I see those two less often than the silent trancation in real life though.

@[email protected] Indeed - I found one where the web interface truncated but the mobile did not. Which would imply a certain lack of hashing and salting, but that's probably not the most pressing security concern by that point.

@[email protected] My all time favourate in this genre are the websites that silently truncate passwords, so it looks like they've been accepted but to actually login you need to only type the first 8 characters...

Pasted the same picture on Facebook, and their AI alt text generator helpfully suggested that the alt text of the image should be: "‎원유 کمنمه سى 인유 왔은"

I don't think all those characters even come from the same script?

Physics engines are so much fun to play with. Just had a first project based #gamedev session with a new student, and went from zero to a player controlled #godot block bouncing around and bashing evil red godot faces out of the way - all in under an hour.

And there's just so much built in entertainment from what you're working with. Most (not all) bugs are just randomly funny rather than deeply frustrating - watching the player drop off the screen because there's no floor, firing them out of view because you typed an extra zero, etc...
