Hard to read, not enough contrast. Aber sonst ein schönes Heftchen.

That explains the many vim enthusiasts that don’t want any other editor. They simply can’t exit the vim instance they once accidentally opened…

Also ChatGPT vows can be way more customized and personalized than Google vows. Give it roughly want you want to say and iterate until it sounds the way you want.

Besides the energy consumption I don’t think it’s bad. You’re just using a tool like before you might have used a thesaurus or dictionary to search for the right words.

Cantina band

He just needs to get these meteorites and locusts going and it’s pretty much perfect.

Sorry you got caught in my rant

I’ll wait until modern web developers figure out how to do things without a bazillion dependencies that have new critical vulnerabilities every week and release backwards incompatible versions every month or so.

Also I don’t like shipping several MB of JavaScript to the user just for a fancy looking form.

It’s giving me Rocko’s Modern Life vibes

Also, the LLM is just predicting it, it’s not selecting it. Additionally it’s not limited to the role of assistant, if you (mis) configure the inference engine accordingly it will happily predict user tokens or any other token (tool calls etc).

You’re not wrong. At work I have the bizarre situation that I have a laptop which is pretty powerful but I’m not allowed to develop on it and have no admin rights on it so I have to remote desktop into a less powerful VDI running in a different country with exactly the same access to company information but I have local admin rights on that machine. Also development is super cumbersome because it’s a windows VDI so I have to use WSL2 for a lot of the things I’m doing. Really weird, inefficient and expensive.

True but it needs more room, power and has less RAM. It’s probably faster though.

I hope NPU hardware like CIX Clawcore will become more common for Developers. They can run 30B models locally and these smaller models are getting better and more efficient as well (MoE etc).

The hardware still burns energy and resources and costs money but locally so you are responsible for it and don’t externalize everything into some data centers and investor / public money.

But this rubber duck knows about programming. However, especially early on the duck lied a lot and now often insists that the API version it learned a year ago is still the latest and everything you’ve done with the new one is wrong. Well, now you l can let it read the new documentation beforehand but it’s still a weird rubber duck.

Thank you. Reading it a second time now I understand it and feel silly for not understanding it the first time. It was still early when I read it so… that’s my excuse.

I don’t understand it. Can read the whole thing because I don’t have a Tumblr account and while I understand the technical problems I don’t understand the order of the posts and who this person even is. Did he do that or is he just analyzing what someone else did (I guess the latter due to his sarcasm) but then who did it?

I think carrying the guns around plays a big role too

I was hoping for HP Lovecraft

I’m not sure which technology Brother uses but it kind of sounds like a damaged OPC to me. The printer might have multiple of them for the different colors. I think in consumer printers the OPC is often replaced together with the toner as a single unit but again, I’m not sure what brother uses.

Black and white is more common in laser printers, less complex, cheaper and it takes up less room.

Laser printers don’t just shoot color particles on the paper like ink jet / piezo printers.

They “magnetize” a photo conductor so the toner particles stick to it and then usually transfer it to the paper using pressure and then fix it using heat. You can’t really do the first part for multiple colors at the same time so color lasers can get pretty complex to repeat this process for each color (CMKY, sometimes more).

So why not an ink printer instead?

• If you use them often they will cost you a lot. Printer manufacturers love ink printers because they can basically sell water (with a tiny bit of color) for the price of gold. That’s also the reason why they put you much effort into detection of original ink cartridges.
• If you don’t use them often, the print heads tend to clog and guess what the printers use to flush them? Copious amounts of liquid gold (ink).
