The LLM said sure we will do that, Ill just create this one directory called shared though and put files that are common to all 3 in that We are copying and duplicating files that are shared because we are splitting the project up into separate directories This is common working w/developers too
I was just breaking up a big project that has 3 separate applications in the same directory because it was important for maintaining context for the LLM to be in one repo to start with, but that is going to change I told it we are splitting them up and that they need to have standalone directories
I will say that working with large language model programming tools is a LOT like working with actual developers. Especially when you ask a very clear thing and it decides to do something completely off topic and you have to get into an argument and tell it explicitly each step to do something
Arthur sat his knights at the round table so no one could sit at the head, this is due to him not knowing about dodecagons

Is a wish outright or some sort of subscription service requiring a soul each month?
Wait til you find out how they play Clue
Not a helpful answer for you but I use LLMs for rubber ducking when I have complex technical designs. I don't know if you know what rubber ducking is, but this is helpful because for real people apparently I am very convincing and they don't question. Which is less helpful for actually validating.
Subday is a different event
mRNA really is not getting as much praise as it should. I blame the anti-intellectualism rubbish, but ignore them because it is super cool.
You know how most appliances have an energy star rating on the box of some sort when you buy them? Robotic based devices like Roombas and up should have a chaos alignment chart.
Do you think Herbie the Lovebug is a Horcrux?
They're not rabbit holes; they are side quests.
The Bureau of Meteorology for Australia had a job listing for an Asset Manager and the assets included 'Tsunami Boys' Version A - They misspelt Buoys Version B - They have a crack team who are like tornado chasers but with boats
Just reminding myself that the cuts to NASA that will no doubt delay the first moon base does mean the great moronic Cheeto won't make them name it after himself. So that's a positive.
@ryannorth.ca is this something all FF writers automatically realised and I'm just a little late?
Starting at #1 at 12 issues per year #48 marks 4 years of the Fantastic Four and was also the first appearance of Galactus. That is some clever meta.
The Microsoft Authenticator (2FA) app just gave me a notification that it's no longer supporting autofill unless I switch to Microsoft Edge. I'm not doing that.
@mikeisaac.bsky.social
Not that Im travelling to the US any time soon but right now (in San Francisco) is Open Sauce, a giant Maker Faire/Science Fair with a ton of mad science/Maker Youtube stuffs If you can't be there (because America) you can get a Sauce Plus sub and watch it online this weekend www.sauceplus.com
Do you think anyone regrets calling it FINAL Fantasy when it has 15 sequels
I saw Superman yesterday and later had someone message me to give them spoilers for their YouTube channel. I told them no.
The count is about right, I reduced the range for my 'mobile device count' given the theoretical range is 100m line of sight and I wanted more like 10m max.
(it is a mobile phone/people counter which is a bit more tricky now from the last time I looked at this as MAC addresses on Android and iOS rotate more aggressively - BUT that does mean I can use sampling to only count mobile devices as older & fixed wifi does not change addresses)
A little tinkering on the weekend for an example proof of concept I needed for Wednesday. I haven't gotten to build stuff like this in aaaaages.
Why did I tag Samsung? Because a curved display solves a few issues
I actually hate how I just went through the laptop, desktop, and high end professional versions of the same tech approach.
I could prototype it too, I could completely build a jank version. The fact i can figure that out completely changed the viability as a solution I'll make notes but I really don't have the time to work on this Dammit. It was there staring in the face of everyone though. Why is this not commercial
Dammit. I hate it when you figure out a solution for a problem you were not working on. Hey @sumsung.bsky.social I'm now kinda upset you haven't figured out what I just realised for next generation of computer displays. Dammit. It is SO obvious too, grr. I got my own tech projects to work on.

Do you think Steampunk was created by 'Big Top Hat'?
The Queensland Game Festival is always pretty packed in the space it is
@hexsteph.bsky.social at the Queensland Game Festival and saw this one which might scratch an unpacking type itch
Latency/UI/Other?
I have always noted when there has been a lot of bot manipulation happening on social media. The amount I have seen today has been both a lot and the lowest quality of bot configuration attempting to manipulate public opinion I have seen.
Avengers vs Alien, Spider-Man vs Predator, Justice League vs Kong... Why don't I have a Godzilla vs Predator vs Alien vs Terminator yet? I'm sure someone has a hot take with Skynet and Mechagodzilla
This is a post about a tiny design change I made in something I designed that no one will ever see, know about or care - but makes it dramatically easier to work with. If it wasn't for this post there would be no record for it at all, but I think it's cool.
Programmatic access to all of the social media platforms is like trying to acquire all the infinity stones.
If you are wondering, for a singular 'speaker' the tone and volume does not change across the video. This is something that no doubt will get fixed but for now...
Ok I have a tell now for Veo3 video with sound generation now so I feel much better. It is seriously at a level where I can see people not being able to tell the difference, I nearly fell for one already.
I like that I was able to build this. I've been spending time converting old semi working projects into much more awesome/capable versions. This wasn't even a core function, I just was able to extend other areas that I improved.
Surely there is an easier way to obtain the mind stone.
So just to check they are doing this to Harvard the... *Checks notes* law school? Are we sure it's not Harvard Total Landscaping?
I'm more concerned about people who can't tell the difference than the tools themselves.
I feel like not enough people have watched Astrix and Obelix: The Big Fight on Netflix (6 episodes). The Avengers memes alone...
When computers went mainstreaming the 80s there were people who debated if they were sentient. These people have the same vibe.
Being a practical application of emerging tech as a vocation I have a lot of subreddits I'm on too. There is obviously an Artificial Intelligence one but today I saw it has gone full 'Cult of Mac' The post read 'I don't like how people say LLMs outputs are predictions. That is EXACTLY how they work
Wait a second. Everyone shut up... What if. What if Mike Mike Wazowski has a twin sibling who blinks at the same time.
I haven't seen it, which one is Tony Masters?
Hog Toot is an anagram of Hot To Go. #TheMoreYouKnow
It's not. It's just a common toolset to build with but you are building small scale instances. It's not the OASIS where each is adding to a open connected one.
Yesterday on the way home under every wattle it was absolutely covered like yellow snow. Flocks of rainbow lorikeet had been going from each one absolutely covering the ground below. It's very likely that no one outside of Australia (possibly even Qld) will understand this post
Agent GailPool X confirmed.
How much rizz did the first reviewer have?
Weirdest. Wingman. Ever.
I feel like GCP greatly embellishes how much budget someone will set on a single hosted cloud service
If you are using a desktop instead of a mobile device you can use the left and right arrow to increase the speed while you are holding down the play button.
This was very much about testing the capability of what I used to make this not about what I made... But here is a stupid thing that lets you read some ebooks one word at a time. If you want to know how fast you can really read. studio--estrder.us-central1.hosted.app
I only get to say this once every few decades.... ... If he is any good he will be back in 3 days
This is how I think it went... *Watches Galaxy Quest* *Slides into the rocket team DMs* "I just had this original idea, should send celebrities into space..."
Google is SUPER optimistic about how long Ill need the access keys to google docs for my assistant bot
I misread that as Otter People worked in factories. I both like my version better and feel like we should revolt to free the Otter People from their oppressors. Or Opossums. I do not know how the small American mammal hierarchy works.
TILSYHTT (today I learnt so you have to too) that while in Australia we haven't had TAB since the 80s, the Coca-Cola Company officially stopped making Tab in October 2020.
You know... It would have solved a lot of problems if the Americans only put insane tariffs on podcasting equipment.
Waiting in line to get some comics signed by this guy... I don't know @gailsimone.bsky.social have you heard of him?
Oh you weren't on the signal chat where we went through the plan? Ok to recap. 1. Clone Dire Wolves ✅ 2. Clone Dinosaurs 3. Establish Jurassic Park with prices only billionaires can afford to go 4. Wait So we are on schedule.
Gimme *clutches in Australian*
'Its pong, but a roguelike' would slap
*considers going to Supanova GC this weekend to get some @tomtaylormade.bsky.social books signed and doing a bsky post about it as a heads-up before seeing if he is using the comic con book stand I made him* ... Nah, I'll surprise him (Almost one of a kind after what happened to the prototype)
This is just for me, I might choose to integrate it into a local assistant possibly. But this was just 1800 lines of training data and I have probably 30,000+ available. Fastest way that I can assess new tech is by finding the outer edges. So I'm doing this to try on a tinyLLM
Because emerging tech is one of my things I have to play with new tech and understand how it works, limits, etc for future reference. I spent the last week'ish building out something that converts my social media into data for fine tuning a LLM to sound like me. I may have nailed it.
memesplain. That is a new term I just made up @mikeisaac.bsky.social even if I just found it on urban dictionary from 2017 after using it.
I get to go to review/preview sessions for films, I write spoiler free reviews of movies. So I have an intense dislike for critics who I hear deciding they are going to give a movie a bad review before watching it. So I felt compelled to memesplain what is happening with Them/Minecraft on TikTok
I wonder if the absolute decimation of overseas tourism to the US might force @disneyworld.bsky.social to lock in Gold Coast/Australia Disneyland in the next 4 years.
Kay, you need better slang :p I recommend... Made a motza or On a blinder
I suppose Xabi was formally X-Factor not X-Men...
What does ran the table mean (to an Australian)?
This isn't mine but @tomtaylormade.bsky.social someone on Twitter worked out their made up tariff numbers might have come from a bad ChatGPT answer (not even the right values to use). As I understand the limits of this stuff on a technical level... Face palm is an understatement if true.
I can make a list of the SaaS services that you should stop investing in. They should be well past worried. I finished some high priority stuff and started on low priority complex ones to see how far I could push it. Yeah, this is the one that will be a problem for the 'no code' niche SaaS models.
.. Last week Google put out a model that I am not sure I can convey how advanced it is over others for actual work (coding, writing documents, producing actual usable work not playing around). And I have heard nothing elsewhere about it. I've been using it for a week and it's just... Yeah...
If you ever needed confirmation that 99% of AI news influencers put out a lot of wank.... Outside of most things that the name brands put out is 10 months to a year behind what is available in open source...
You should tweak your play/app store distribution settings until you are ready, it's easy to limit the country via the web guis so you don't have to make code changes.
(also it's not limited in the app/play store so that is how I was able to get it. But the error message was limited)
Booooooooooo
If you live in Brisbane the largest Free Play (as in you pay once to get in and then all the machines are set to free play mode that do not need coins) Arcade in the Southern Hemisphere is closing on May 4th. So you should make time to go to and take friends, family, future gamers, there now
Obviously the McDonald islands chief export is Cheeseburgers, everyone knows that.
Is there any geo-limiting? I'm in Australia and when I tried to log in yesterday I just get "login failed." on the app. I just double checked my credentials and they are correct and still go the same.
Fortunately we have a culture 1,000,000% different for how we look at our politicians. None of them are treated as celebrities by us, even when they try to be.
I assume this means more that they are hosted on US servers and use US connection points rather than explicitly saying they are run by the US. But we have an election in a few weeks and the number of comments on Australian things which are emulating US-Cheeto style things is noticeable.
My TikTok has had a feed of "TikTok is getting banned and is going to stop working unless its Sold!" and Im like... no, not for me it isn't :D Fun thing - last time the US banned tiktok the amount of bots commenting dropped to zero. This includes the propaganda/misinformation ones.
There was a guy on TikTok who just posted he has seen this before... It's the American Brexit. Amexit if you will.
I would have gone with '2 Switch 2 Portable'
It also needs to require an external light so if you are using it at night in the car you have to try to finish your level using street lights as you pass them to see. If you don't want this do you even game?
Yes the only answer is to Benjamin Button it
I like the part where he left his electorate when it was the cyclone and now is saying if he wins he will move to Sydney. His electorate that he actually needs to have a job at all must feel loved.
My million dollar idea is a charm bracelet like Pandora does but instead it just has a tiny selection of spices including sprinkles
Time Travel!
Did you know in the Grimm fairy tale the Evil Queen tries to kill Snow White 3 times. Once with a corset so tight, once with a poison comb that could be cured by just removing it, and then got to the apple. This is what they must mean when they say people don't want to work anymore.
Kinda curious about @markrober.bsky.social's video if it was a optical illusion of a hole. Do Tesla's look for holes in the ground or just objects in front to avoid?
