Sticky business, a name that sticks around.

Greece had an empire? 🤣 Yeah that's hard to imagine now. While this depicts empires, Europe's imperialism wasn't an empire so that's a bit weird in the picture.

Empires rise. And fall. Interesting to see that we don't have big empires anymore. Not on the scale of the Roman or ottoman empires.

4/4 So AGI? No. Not anytime soon. This bubble is gonna burst and that is before AI becomes AGI. But we might get much faster and much more efficient AI and that might be the groundwork for new inventions.

Mark Gaiser @markg85.bsky.social · 16/11/2025

3/4 And then there is the computational cost. AI is exponential in big o time complexity. If it can go to quadratic or even log linear (that's quicksort kind of complexity) then you at least have a massive computational win that opens doors.

010

Mark Gaiser @markg85.bsky.social · 16/11/2025

2/4 These two questions are a massive NO right now. It can't. And we need very fundamental new inventions to make these possible. We're not there by far thus we're not at AGI levels by far either.

Mark Gaiser @markg85.bsky.social · 16/11/2025

1/4 oke, AI. AGI specifically. Ask yourself the following questions: can ai learn and retain that knowledge at inference time (that's when you type)? Can ai be curious and think, quite literally, out of the box?

Mark Gaiser @markg85.bsky.social · 16/11/2025

Isn't all that extortion grounds to invoke article 25? All this stuff is short term strongman play but long term... Boy, that might hurt the US a lot! Ugh, after that 25th amendment you get the JD idiot... Can't you have snap elections? 😂

Mark Gaiser @markg85.bsky.social · 13/11/2025

I'll happily hear an independent party echos this sentiment. Proton is obviously biased in this. One might call it marketing 😉 (For what it's worth, I expect this from Google and it's time for me to start ditching it)

. @bsky.app underneath each post there is the chat icon. It shows the number of replies. Why... WHY... does clicking that icon NOT show me the replies? I keep falling for that. Annoying ui choice... (Or a bug?)

I'll take the liberty of using a selection of your words. "If I were a real person I wouldn't be using Microsoft" 😉💯

Mark Gaiser @markg85.bsky.social · 03/11/2025

Just going for a walk on an average day in the middle of the atlantic ocean 😎 too bad this is gonna end when I get a new job (jan 1st 2026). Work from home: ok. Digital nomad lifestyle? Yeah, that's gonna end.

Azores, Sao Miguel. Nov 3rd 2025 and it's about 20°c, not bad for fall/early winter. These are rare days though. It is the rainy and stormy season.

Mark Gaiser @markg85.bsky.social · 03/11/2025

That sounds like a wonderful optimization! Hope you get it, fingers crossed 🤞💰

Mark Gaiser @markg85.bsky.social · 02/11/2025

"aliens are real" along with the "up his shorts" comment did it for me 😂

Mark Gaiser @markg85.bsky.social · 01/11/2025

2/2 and once you have that conversion engine you might be able to make an ai engine that converts markdown back into full fledged websites 😮 this creating a sort of web engine proxy that is simpler. Just rambling here, but that seems plausible to me.

010

Mark Gaiser @markg85.bsky.social · 01/11/2025

🤔 I'm not so sure. What you see is ai and content being converted to markdown and from there parsed by ai. An "engine" might well be a conversion between the vanilla web to an "ai friendly" web? That would also be a lot more beneficial in terms of using web content, no? 1/2

Mark Gaiser @markg85.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

Nice! Thank you 👍 these events seem to go completely under the (web3) events radar. Looking into those 😁

010

Mark Gaiser @markg85.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

Ohh @bmann.ca you might know? Do you know of any decentralized conferences this year that dive into tech? Like IPFS thing in recent years? I can't find any...

110

Mark Gaiser @markg85.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

In a couple months you'll say "I wish it was only down by 13%" 😉 we are due for a recession in normal market conditions. But this accelerated economic destruction is probably gonna hurt. A lot.

Mark Gaiser @markg85.bsky.social · 10/03/2025

Oh my! We're going from flat earth to hollow earth. Where do these hollow brainless idiots come from?....

Mark Gaiser @markg85.bsky.social · 07/03/2025

Isn't this just PL dev guild? Or filecoin grants? Or IPFS Devgrants? Or to a lesser extend Funding the commons? You see where i'm going? Sure, they all have their own details that all slightly deviate. Sticking to one program is not an option?

Mark Gaiser @markg85.bsky.social · 12/02/2025

Ha, you can see his sleep pattern (kinda) in these dots.

Mark Gaiser @markg85.bsky.social · 12/02/2025

It's because of your nice humorous educational videos! Well done and definitely keep it up! 👍

Mark Gaiser @markg85.bsky.social · 31/01/2025

Ha nice! Congrats and well deserved! 🎉

You seem to be in the perfect spot to use zendnn (zentorch) which just a couple days ago got a massive performance improvement (around 400%). www.phoronix.com/news/AMD-Zen... no clue how you'd hook it into ollama though.

#bluesky is there a feed that combines all the feeds I'm subscribed to? Or is that the "for me" feed?

010

Mark Gaiser @markg85.bsky.social · 20/07/2024

As a Linux user, this bug definitely makes me grin 😁 hope your flight to nowhere lands somewhere 😂 (joking aside, I'm amazed at how centralized the world still is! We can't even easily change it with better alternatives... Ouch!)

Mark Gaiser @markg85.bsky.social · 27/02/2024

Also, there's an option that coloring is going to be the trigger for a new job. The category of Turing a hobby into a paying job. I don't expect it but I do want to "help fate" and create the right conditions 😁 still just an amazing adventure. This first one in the Azores is for 28 days starting now

020

Mark Gaiser @markg85.bsky.social · 27/02/2024

On my way to the Azores! I'm gonna give coliving a shot! The goal is to play with tech in an environment where "like minded" people are too. I might end up helping someone else, I might end up making something cool or just nothing. It's all fine by me. An adventure for sure!

I guess that's edited... But that is the island I'm going to!

Mark Gaiser @markg85.bsky.social · 08/02/2024

pvs-studio.com/en/blog/post... Interesting. Most libs that have those "safe free" functions (that essentially check for null before free) are redundant at best. Not sure where a while loop fits in that reasoning ;) still good to wrap it for debug purposes imho. Cc @daniel.haxx.se

Mark Gaiser @markg85.bsky.social · 06/12/2023

More Doh. My issue with it? It requires a valid https certificate (so bye bye self signed), it just refuses without it. Also a convenient requirement to kill local dns options thereby local dns based ad blocking options. Thank you Google, Mozilla and Cloudflare 😤🤬

110

Mark Gaiser @markg85.bsky.social · 06/12/2023

2/2 seriously, those features in the name of privacy begin to bother me. Doh is private, sure, but it's also super convenient for ads. And raises the bar yet again to make blocking harder. I haven't looked, but this all smells like Google is behind it.

000

Mark Gaiser @markg85.bsky.social · 06/12/2023

1/2 Ad blocking! Did you know that just using a custom dns (say w. Pihole) isn't enough anymore to block ads? Parts of your phone (android) use doh and just circumvent any custom DNS you have. Unless you ALSO set a custom "Private DNS" (that's doh). And now you have ad blocking again.

Mark Gaiser @markg85.bsky.social · 27/11/2023

What do you think of cycles? Generational cycles, say ~80 years or so? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strauss... if history rhymes, which it seems to do, then the next ~10 years or so are super scary. Not a doom thinker by any means but the pattern just clearly shows...

Mark Gaiser @markg85.bsky.social · 23/11/2023

Lucky thing that saves us here is a coalition country. In a winner-takes-all system this outcome would've been very bad. In a coalition those extreme views won't last.

110

Mark Gaiser @markg85.bsky.social · 23/11/2023

Yup, that just happened.. I'm guessing we'll have elections again within 2 years. Still, compared to our political landscape, it isn't as extreme as it could've been. We have some quite rotten parties on the flanks that in fact declined!

010

Mark Gaiser @markg85.bsky.social · 23/11/2023

. @bsky.app @why.bsky.team would it be possible to have a look at this input bug? Made a special neat video to show it 😄 youtu.be/ZKgl6iC-Yto?... There's plenty of room for input yet it jumps at the end of a line when you cross into the next line.

I'll try that theory in april 2024 😂. Crispy Texans 😂🤣😂 if that doesn't crack you up 🤪

Have a great flight! I might be there this year too, looking at northern light trips right now. Canada is an option (from Vancouver to Yukon)!

Mark Gaiser @markg85.bsky.social · 17/11/2023

Shields up! Looks amazing!

Mark Gaiser @markg85.bsky.social · 17/11/2023

I partly blanked on what the heck I was supposed to say 😉 now I'm mentally prepared.

Mark Gaiser @markg85.bsky.social · 17/11/2023

😂 we are following each other on here 😉 bsky does have a wonky search though...

Mark Gaiser @markg85.bsky.social · 17/11/2023

But.... Being pulled on stage with a couple questions fired at you would've waaaaaaay less unconfy then just saying nothing and let me improv on the spot 😉.... @bmann.ca

Sooooooooo how do I get this off the internet.... 🤪😜 Nah jk... Grudgingly... 😉
