iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I started rereading The Expanse books the other day and I got to the last line here and actually laughed out loud 🙃

“He was going to get away with it.”

“Excuse me?” Holden replied. “Did you miss the part where he confessed to everything?”

“That wasn’t a confession. That was a boast. He was untouchable, and he knew it. Too much money. Too much power.”

“That’s bullshit. No one gets to kill a million and a half people and get away with it.”

yeah fair enough. it's still enough that I won't be using it though. I did post my thoughts in the discord but it got immediately buried lol

throwing in my two cents: I personally want to avoid using projects which utilize generative AI for many of the same reasons already cited here. the admin/dev consensus here is different, and well okay fair enough I'm not gonna come out of nowhere and convince you all otherwise. the main thing I want then is just for it to be readily apparent that LLMs are used in these ports so I know to avoid them. and like clearly we're all aware now, but I think the current response is proof that the AI policy was, while not a secret, obscure enough that plenty of people who care didn't know about it, and (interpreting things in good faith here) the devs were unaware of how important this is to a lot of people.

Caring For YOU AND YOUR BABY

Hello Jordan,

When you've learned you're pregnant, there's a lot to think about. Preparing and caring for a new baby can impact both your physical and mental health. It's equally important to take care of your body and your emotional needs. If you notice changes, trust yourself and talk to your doctor. You also have a plan from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas that can help with resources to support your total health throughout your pregnancy and beyond.

note that even if you opt your channel out, your chat messages will still be used to train twitch/amazon's generative AI models if you chat in someone's stream who hasn't opted out. my advice is to be annoying about asking. any streamer who's opted out will be glad to tell you so.

What channel content (clips, chat, metadata, etc.) is eligible to be used for generative AI training?

Your stream and the stream's chat, your VODs, your Clips, Highlights, and any text or images on your Channel may be used. If you chat on someone else's stream, their opt-out preferences govern if that chat can be used for training.

so interesting thing: while it feels like a majority of software devs are pretty pro-AI these days, at least in some capacity (certainly not all though), r/ProgrammerHumor seems to be pretty consistently making fun of it, and tbh I'm not really sure what to make of that.

screenshot of the current top post on the r/ProgrammerHumor subreddit. there is a smiling stick figure wearing a beanie next to text that reads:

"This is Luke
Luke just implemented Tetris
Actually he didn't because the AI did
Luke didn't learn anything
Don't be like Luke"

I had no idea about this previously myself, but surely reading the top of a potential sponsor's wikipedia page would be part of doing their due diligence, no?

In 2001, due to financial troubles, the original SNK Corporation was forced to close. Anticipating the end of the company, founder Kawasaki established Playmore Corporation, which acquired all of the intellectual property of the SNK Corporation. In 2003, Playmore Corporation was renamed to SNK Playmore Corporation. In 2016, SNK dropped "Playmore" from its name. It has been owned by Electronic Gaming Development Company, a subsidiary of the Saudi Arabian Misk Foundation, since 2022.

Caffeine sensitivity grows as people age - UCLA Health

As you have come to suspect, it is indeed possible to develop caffeine sensitivity. Due to certain changes that take place in our bodies as we grow older, this becomes more common as we age. Research shows that older adults clear caffeine from the body more slowly than younger people.

seems like a good change, but I've always found it interesting how on windows you have to bend over backwards to prevent updates from happening, and meanwhile on linux you have to type your password and give explicit permission to allow updates to happen

“Shutdown, Restart on your terms,” Microsoft says. “Restarting or shutting down your PC should always be simple, predictable, and on your terms – even with updates waiting to be installed.” And that sums up the change.

The point-by-point updates coming to your PC are as follows:

1. "Skip updates immediately during the out of box experience (OOBE)
2. Extend update pauses as many times as you need
3. Always-available options to shut down and restart without updating
4. More insights on available updates so you can make more informed installation decisions."
