Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 10hNote that it's a case of a product that also has a maximum time limit before open models have squeezed them out of business. This is a 50bn a year biz, not a 500bn biz. And one that is artificially juiced up because in the US laws arent real anymore 010
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 21hCompletely expected for trump to do dictator strong man shit, and then half ass and weak sauce it so all it does is embarass him 000
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 23hGot some feelers out again hope pays out. For now going to go goth it up this weekend with friends 010
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 09/10/2026The immunity plea is like a spell. They know with this one little incantation they can get out of trouble and get full support from all the other cops. Even if it's complete nonsense and in a sane country would get them thrown several kilometers under the jail for falsifying records. 010
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Whole bunch of companies that made claude and chatgpt load bearing about to get a rude awakening 010
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Folks who goal isn't to have fun but to win the office bet pool and lord it over the others as a proxy for their analytics skills feels like. 020
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Everyone is looking at the Satoshi Block and all the old stale Bitcoin sitting around and salivating about grabbing it and treating it for a slow drain. Though honestly, if Satoshi blocks started to finally move, the price would crater from lack of confidence and there would be a fork. 000
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 08/10/2026It's a flex to juice up investors for an IPO while they still have a government that will bend over backwards for corpos. That and the belief they can gatekeep safe encryption schemes in some robber baron dystopia where no one gets to own unshackled computers 110
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Gunbuster: when the real antagonist of the series wasn't the space monsters but Relativistic time dilation. 030
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Garbage disposal is bad for the pipes and the water treatment system and it's better to put it in compost and then take that out to the public compost receptacle. It was wild traveling abroad and having refuse disposal be a public good and not a mismatch of private public nonsense. 020
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Doesn't help that Cascade's contribution model is some ancient nonsense. I am curious if the Blobfish kernel will do the job. Developed in places where software patents aren't a thing. 010
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 06/10/2026If folks are this worried, they should be using Freecad and contributing. It's great and has improved so much. Only real downside is it's UI is very 2013. Folks are working on that as well, vs the big guys that are spending all their time and money putting stuff into the cloud. 110
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Would this also count for things like quipu, with encoding thoughts and feelings in corded colored knots? That's not writing, but it is definitely long term symbolic information storage. 030
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 06/10/2026The amount of work it takes and experience to guide an AI to make useful changes that follows open source practices and the particular rules that upstream requires, as well as identifying what would be useful to change makes it to the point where it would be easier to write the code yourself. 0330
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 06/10/2026This feels like a deck chairs on the Titanic problem and will lead to ag diesel getting scarce. Not that I'm surprised the GOP is doing eating the seed corn behavior out of desperation 010
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Looking at the results as of just recently, runoff at least looks like all hope is not lost. Neither got 50% so runoff. Hoping the runoff plus folks knowing just what is at risk would shake the more ambivalent voters who didn't vote in the first round to get off their butts. 000
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 04/10/2026The better argument would be that if the US had spent the level of money we spend on data centers on solar, wind, batteries and electrifying our car/truck/trains we would have amazing growth. Nobody can eat SaaS apps and a personal assistant can't put a roof over a head. AI is death by beancounter 000
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Why I don't like PVP games. I like coop stuff because i can spend time with my friends and work together to be better than us individually 010
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 03/10/2026200 million bucks to fix the absolute ass that is Medicare's software backend, hire folks to maintain it, and make that money back in program effeciencies and downtime prevention. Instead Donny wanting to eat the seed corn to desperately not lose power in an illegal scheme. 000
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Seattle 100% .though NYC is fantastic and Bay area is cool though I'm entirely not cool enough for it. 030
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 02/10/2026@killjamesbond.bsky.social when they did cars 2 lost their shit over stuff like that you may really enjoy that. Car Pope implies car Jesus, Car Peter, and the car council of Nicea. 1100
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Yo if this was the rebirth of the Political Machine game, that would actually slap. 010
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Anti anxiety and ADHD meds, and exercise helped me. 2025 and being an analyst who understands cause and effect messed me up. Then spending most of 2026 layed off. Doesn't stop the horrors, but allows me to focus and do stuff I care about and turn it into a crappy background radiation. 130
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 01/10/2026My Lance is ready to be space poor all over again lol (When our mods are also ready of course) 010
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Asduming a lower bound 1500 for an absolute shithole, would need two minimum wage people to even barely be able to afford a really shitty apartment. Or for an average rent would need a combined income of 88K per year. Oof 010
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Not like it was going to give useful results anyways, the model they host has been quantized to nothing because they are too cheap to pay for server time. 010
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 01/10/2026AI bros living their lives alone with their AI lovers and sycophants to be left alone and unloved in big houses to be found mummified. Folks only ask what happened once the credit cards start to bounce and all the agents stop running. 062
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Why im team autonomous. Even the cloud stuff I've made is designed to easily be deployed on local hardware and used no proprietary nonsense. 010
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I wonder if Farage would go dive off a cliff if UK went full shenghen? And JK rowling with him as the UK would have to be fully compliant with EU human rights law then. 010
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 30/09/2026If you have an Nvidia card you put it to sleep and then it never wakes up because their drivers are absolute ass unless you are a datacenter 110
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 30/09/2026If you want to run an AI for a use case, run it on your own hardware and end this whole obsession about the cloud It was 100% done originally because business folks didn't like how techs were effectively becoming the priest class that would tell them when a biz idea was dumb for tech reasons 000
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I dare any of the full bore AI advocates to have to setup an offline stack and get into liability requirements and sandboxing. It breaks any illusions fast. Silicon valley bound and determined to destroy one of the few places where trans women make a lot of money, doing really complex tech work 060
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Got a dehydrator? Can at least recover it. Nylon needs it if you plan on printing further than a day or two. Same for good TPU if mechanical strength is needed 110
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I got turned on to volunteer streams 20 years ago and have been my primary listening since. Stuff like Soma FM or Nightride.FM How I learned of Gunship and The Midnight. I hear that stuff at the goth club and finally feel like I found culture. 010
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Oh okay, yeah surprised I didn't know it was that humidity sensitive good to know. 110
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Oh yeah that stuff you pretty much have to print it out of a drybox. But it's the king of dissolvables for a reason 100
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Somebody who would be a 90s Republican and is embarrassed with all the chuckleheads who can't form a cogent sentence? So goes Democrat and expects the party to become 90s Republicans and then shocked when folks tell them no. 000
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Also throwing trans people under the bus was not going to get voter pickups, because anti trans voters will also probably be some sort of crank in some other way. The GOPs core demographic is crank. 120
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 30/09/2026A miniskirt with a hammerloop slaps won't lie. It's been since 2019 and Naomi Wu's cargo skirt that I've seen one on the internet. 050
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I would still want consent and licensing rights if they do that, but any scenario that involves PCR would not result in any memories in that piece making it through intact I would definitely be concerned if parts of the brain related to long term and short term memory ended up in med waste though 000
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 29/09/2026So hypothetically if it waves, and then carries on into 2028 we would have a filibuster proof majority that could fix real things and maybe even a constitutional convention to put a shiv in the whole concept of an imperial presidency 010
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Got a sneaking suspicion that this is some grok fine-tune that was fed nothing but MAGA propoganda, but also has a broken load balancer and has been quantized to being very dumb because Donny is very cheap 110
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Solar panels are very valuable and show an advanced nano manufacturing capacity as well as education system. And polymers and fertilizer is stuff that short of universal nano machines petrochemicals and gas will still be needed, even into the 22nd century and beyond. 010
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 29/09/2026That would be the way the Chinese, Saudi, Singaporean, etc governments do and how the US used to do. Use climate change as a way to funnel money into technology development as a way to also get energy independence and switch to more valuable petrochem products. Ones that don't get burned. 131
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Yeah, read up on what they do. That physical world model stuff is really interesting, same for spatial intelligence. Makes robots more useful. 000
Ryn @reprapryn.bsky.social · 27/09/2026In Mississippi in late aughts I had some comparitive religion and art history, and two semesters of world history. Would have also have had an American history course as well if I hadn't APed. I'm surprised that Scottish universities are less robust on this front than Mississippi of all places. 010
