I named my fists "Dunning" and "Kruger" because I haven't trained in any sort of martial art but am confident I would do pretty well.

Every English prof for generations: "nothing" meant vagina, he was making a dirty joke, almost everything he wrote was a dirty joke! Please understand how many dick jokes he made! Students, barely listening: wherefore art thou yada yada yada grok draw a big tiddy macbeth

The key thing about the Bluesky team is their singular lack of professionalism. They just don't act like people who run a business that operates a commercial website, they act like users of that site. They're still not willing to give up the idea that this is a clubhouse for Rationalist freaks.

Free advice for the Bluesky team: Spend more time trying to understand why your users don't like AI, and less attempting to convince them that they're wrong. I promise you that they don't need another voice telling them AI is inevitable and will be imposed on them.

I learned recently that itâs an insult in Germany to call someone âhobbylessâ or to engage in âhobbyless behaviorâ and itâs become my favorite way to think of assholes who have nothing better to do than to make other people miserable. Get a hobby. Build a model train and calm down.

Wrote a post on LinkedIn about my approach to updating Toon Boom Animation's product descriptions from the launch of Harmony & Storyboard Pro 25. TLDR: It's not enough to tell users about new features if you don't do the work to understand the problems it solves.

Museums should sell 3d prints of scans of their fossils and archeological artefacts. Who wouldn't want an exact replica of a famous dinosaur bone, a nice knapped flint axe head, a children's toy buried for 3,500 years, etc

I don't understand why Apple hasn't allowed graphics acceleration through eGPUs, which can now be used for AI/ML training on Macs. Seems like it would be a win-win for everyone.
loading . . .
AMD or Nvidia eGPUs can work on Apple Silicon Macs, but not for graphic acceleration
Apple has signed a driver for AMD or Nvidia eGPUs connected to Apple Silicon but there are some big caveats, and it won't improve your graphics. Here's what they're for.

my fear is that fans aren't going to realize- or simply don't care about- how revolutionary this whole glitch "bring an indie film to theaters" situation is and will squander a great opportunity to give more power to creators, by arguing about keeping glitch indie by sabotaging this

If it was JUST comics twitter, I might have stayed, but it's nearly impossible to have a good discussion on ANY topic with the people remaining. There's no fun in it. Here, you tell a joke, someone laughs and adds to it, and you are having a good time. I KNOW. WEIRD.

These systems will lie to you about their capabilities. I fed Gemini a video a few months ago to see if it could give me a SRT file for subtitles. The transcript was 99% correct but all of the timestamps were completely fake. Plausible-looking numbers at random intervals.
