The "Loved and Be Loved" episode of Dark Matter is among the very best hours of television that I have ever seen. Deeply moving in so many ways. Brilliant direction.

Why oh why do I have to go deepest into my special interests late at night? When I'm not utterly exhausted (yet sometimes when I'm damn near), late at night, I get a second wind, I get into hyperfocus, and next I know it's 4am, I'm still not sleepy, and I'm in flow state doing my thing […]

I am curious to learn how these "System 1" models differ from the neural networks I was building in the mid-90s. From the outside, they sound very similar: a machine for making probabilistic choices given a well-defined input and well-defined output.

So this whole OpenAI Dot thing: I literally have "Dot" at home: It's called Hermes Agent. It's open source. It's entirely configurable. It can do pretty much anything that a "Dot" can without all of that OpenAI proprietary BS. I self-host my own AI. Personal stuff stays personal. Granted, I'm […]

At the rate we're going, fuck gold bars. Fuck real estate. When you die, will your family any HDDs, SSDs, and GPUs you may leave behind. You can't computer when you're dead ☠️!

I can't live in rage all the time. I can't live in shame all the time. I can't live in horror all the time. I have to look away. I have to think of other things, of nice things, happy things. Denial sometimes seems like the only way to survive. But I know. Folx are hurting. Evil abounds. I do […]

Ok, seriously: am I the only one using AI with Home Assistant so that they can talk to the NCC 1701-D computer to control their home? Because, people, I'm starting to live in Star Trek here. The rest of the world may be going to hell but I can do a decent job of LARPing it here on commodity […]

Apropos nothing: has anyone found a way to teach the iOS keyboard Unix commands? I'd love to be able to swipe things like "grep". I swear, the number of times I've typed "gir ".... I should just set up a fucking alias...

I'm guessing, for people who have known me, you may be thinking: WTF? Evan is able to work! It's not like that. "New shit has come to light." Things are different from some of us after an #autism diagnosis. As I've learned more about my own experience, I've realized how much pain I've been in […]

@jayroh Got a new iPad 11 that I carry pretty much everywhere. It's gotten me hugely back into comics. Been loving Absolute Green Lantern. It takes almost all of the cheesy historic baggage and chucks it. I suppose it's like a long overdue DC answer to Marvel's Earth-1610. That and reading […]

Before writing something smartass or contrary, ask yourself whether it will add to the conversation or make someone have a worse day. If you're only making yourself feel good by writing something into the fedi, perhaps that misses some of the point of "federation"? I've caught myself twice this […]

RE: cosocial.ca/@dyckron/11730130992183… Produce seems poised to get quite a bit more expensive. This is not good. So many basic needs getting more expensive amount to de facto regressive taxes...

RE: tenforward.social/@aspensmonster/11… @aspensmonster @gdinwiddie Worth the trillions? Hard to say. For me, this evokes thoughts of opportunity cost. Thinking aloud... We could have likely solved poverty, by almost every reasonable measure. But that also would have […]

I get that people here tend to be repulsed by mere mentions of "AI". Now I have to ask you to reconsider. Here's some examples why. What follows is all being done with a local AI, a variant of a Qwen3.8-27B model, on a 3090. Short version: with MINUTES of conversation and discussion, I will […]

I'm confused by all of these people who are bullish on the New™️ Siri. I've run the dev beta for months. The phrase I hear the most often is "I'm sorry but something went wrong." It'll be interesting to see if this becomes a meme by October.

One of what will likely be many #StarTrek posts from me over the next year.... Did you know that Spock's 🖖 Vulcan salute was borrowed from Jewish mysticism? The Kohanim, the heredicary rabbinicals, used this gesture as part of a blessing during services. Leonard Nimoy sometimes told a story of […]

My entire initial reason to set up an LLM was so that I could have a combadge that I tap, get the TNG combadge chirp, talk to the Enterprise computer, have it Do Stuff™️, and then have it talk in the Enterprise computer voice back to me. Also, this was working as of a little bit more than a […]

Anyone else use Tailscale with both Tail Lock and Mullvad exit nodes? My connection keeps flapping despite having signed every one of their exit nodes. Disabling Mullvad exit node routing seems to fix it...
