iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I'm seeing a future where OSS models do play a larger and larger role in the augmented coding space. The big three have too many dystopian ambitions they imagine are foregone conclusions. As you've noted, a kind of permanent market capture that only they control. I feel like that will backfire.

BTW, we are a new and growing community. We absolutely do want to support new and first time speakers! @ngerakines.me has some ideas around mentorship and feedback to help make great presentations, and also how lightning talks can give every one a way to present their ideas & projects.

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

Be the YouTube video you want to see in the world. I'm doing something similar to my Alienware. $25 fan, or $600 power supply from Dell. I'll take the chance on electrocution.

Just remembered Yaphet Kotto is in The Running Man (re-watching) and now I'm like Hell Yeah. I've fallen down an 70's/80's sci-fi hole post Alien Earth.

I found this Linux program called "asciiquarium" that basically turns your terminal into an aquarium full of little ASCII fish and sharks and stuff, it's really fun ^-^

I like this, extremely straightforward and doesn't feel weirdly degrading like the rehearsed questions do. I've felt for a long time that the canned answer code questions miss a lot of nuance and aren't that helpful at evaluating people who aren't just crunching leetcode puzzles every day.

One thing generative AI is really putting the zap on my head over; It's not the images, not the video.. it's well formatted .md files with emojis.

It has legitimately been a great "head of engineering simulator" for me. I get to be extremely picky about process and procedure. Occasionally it'll lie to me. I get LLMs to check each other's work. I get to say "this is not production ready" after being told something is production ready.

The PC will still be utilised in a strange way, other than gaming. I'm going to use it to mock up a Kubernetes target for deployments. And I can also lean on the GPU with ollama to play with local models.

So the downgrade to Ubuntu 22.04 from 24.04 was so that I could regain access to my hybrid graphics, allowing me to run multi-monitor from the Thinkpad. A weirdness I wasn't expecting. I also have to remember to be a little less cavalier with my upgrades.

I also uh, "fixed" my keyboard. This whole bit needs to be replaced, frankly.

Current setup; mainlining my Thinkpad with Ubuntu 22.04 Desktop on it for dev again. The somewhat long experiment with WSL2 on Windows 11 wasn't a failure, but the annoyances finally got to me (wonky file handling, wonky Docker integration, wonky hot reload in Node (wtf)).

I'm a little surprised git isn't just a default package in Ubuntu now, but there's probably a good reason for it.

This one's extra important. De facto incumbents like Google and Meta slowly suffocated the early Internet’s innovative spirit by positioning their auth and API layers as gateways that developers need to fumble over to build anything meaningful. It's nice seeing DIY truly come back.

This reminds me that biking around in New York City is still a dream of mine, if I'm ever let back into the country 😆 (this may sound crazy but I also spent 20 years bike commuting in Toronto. I am ready.)
