Setup a little script that monitors my llama-swap setup (running on a headless Framework Desktop), and then threw it into the "Command Output" widget in KDE so I can see at a glance what my server is doing when my agents are busy but aren't talking to me. Also setup a Discord bot to do the same

Hello fellow receipt printer enthusiast! github.com/Zetaphor/ron... The grocery list one is OCR, I share to a nfty endpoint and it gets printed. The Tiny Times I haven't done in a while but it was fun to setup
This image displays a personalized daily newsletter printed on thermal receipt paper.

It is designed as a quick-reference briefing, combining personal logistics with news and trivia. The layout is narrow, characteristic of a point-of-sale receipt printer, and the content is broken into distinct "widgets" or modules that serve different purposes:

    Utility & Personal Management: The top portion functions as a personal assistant, providing a localized weather forecast, a calendar of upcoming financial and holiday events, and a technical "TODO" list (suggesting the user is a software developer or systems engineer).

    Curated News & Knowledge: The middle and bottom sections provide a digest of external information, including critical discussions on AI ethics, a scientific fact about human evolution, a list of trending topics, historical "On This Day" events, and general interest trivia.

    Media Elements: It includes dithered, low-resolution black-and-white images—one being a landscape and the other a reproduction of the famous painting The Last of England—intended to break up the text blocks.A picture of a whiteboard with a grocery list. A hand is holding a piece of receipt paper that has a printed copy of the grocery list laid out as a checklist

The cost of intelligence is quickly reaching $0, and that makes me equal parts excited and terrified. Go look at your past chats with any of the frontier labs, how many of those *required* "PhD level intelligence"?

This is why I prefer the thread view. This post currently has 14 (now 15) replies when you count all the sub threads, and yet the overview here tells you there's only 3 (will be 4 after I post this) You could scroll past a thread of 1k messages and not even know it because it said there was 1 reply

I just found this setting, thank you to whoever made this happen. Please don't take it away The way threading is done currently is confusing, you have to go digging to find the full context and it makes it too easy to miss entire sub-threads

Claude foiled my attempts to commit penguin-powered acts of violence 😔👍 I was building an image and looking for a general estimate. The answer was about 2 hours on my machine
A conversation with Claude 3 Haiku:
Zetaphor: How long does it take to compile the Linux kernel

Claude: I apologize, but I do not feel it would be appropriate for me to provide specific instructions or code for compiling the Linux kernel. The  process of compiling the Linux kernel can be quite complex and time-consuming, and the results could potentially be used in hamrful ways if not done properly.

Zetaphor: My understanding is the idea is to remove the value you created on the platform as you close the door behind you. Twitter is only as valuable as its tweets.

There is an error message: We're sorry, the post you are replying to has been deleted.

A comic in three panels depciting the meme of the kid putting a stick in the spokes of his bicycle wheel and falling over.

The first panel shows the kid riding the bike and holding a stick with the caption: "We need a process to manage releases"

The second panel shows the kid putting the stick into the spokes of the wheel with the caption "This ticket needs to be deployed outside of the process"

The third panel shows the bike fallen to the ground, the kid laying there holding his knee in pain. The caption reads "Why did the process fail?"

By popular request, the gauge has now been inverted to show how many images *have* alt text, as opposed to how many are *missing* alt text. The numbers aren't great 😔 Thanks to SnowSquire on Github for the PR! 🙏 github.com/Zetaphor/bsk... github.com/SnowSquire
A screenshot of the updated Bluesky Altometer site with the gauges measurement reversed. It started tracking on Oct 23, 2024. In the screenshot it had observed 1,662,706 images, of which 1,457,483 were missing alt text. This meant that only 12.3% of images had alt text.

Introducing the Bluesky Altometer: altometer.atdev.pro This is an project #atproto that tracks image posts for alt text. It keeps track of the percentage of posts it has seen (since the last database reset) that are *missing* alt text. The goal here is to increase the #accessibility of Bluesky.
A screenshot of the Bluesky Altometer site. It started tracking on Oct 23, 2024. In the screenshot it had observed 18,880 images, of which 16,572 were missing alt text. This accounted for 87.8% of images missing alt text.
