and can I also just say I’m loving the vibe this figurine brings

true love is your partner letting you be a big ol’ bab all day and play with Legos and color in coloring books

fuck polyrhythms, give me hours of up & down tension consisting primarily of bringing hi hats in & out of the most repetitive shit you've ever heard

roughly 33:15 : “Now what I would like is not for it (AI) to treat us like house cats, but for it to treat us like a mother treats babies…” (he continues for a few minutes on this) overall a fascinating interview

true love is staying up until past midnight to help your partner jailbreak her Xbox to rip/preserve a console exclusive game from her childhood

(Paraphrasing) “We have to think of AI as the mother and us as the baby / we’ve gotta build an AI with a maternal sense” - Geoffrey Hinton, per an upcoming interview w/ Kara Swisher I have /many/ questions (and many thoughts/emotions on this)!

Looking for a job! 🕸️ extremely experienced in TypeScript/React/Node/Next ⛓️ seasoned Solidity smart contract dev 🔥 former CTO of a YC startup 📊 fluent in SQL, also great at Mongo 💪🏻 actively coding since an 8 y/o in the 90s

tfw you are literally too smol to use modern hardware ;-; (55mm IPD)

Today: "class I want you go to home and play with while loops and counting, pretend you're in like preschool" you got it, professor!

pretty happy with boot.dev so far - solidly reinforcing my algo design/implementation class lessons, while getting me back up to speed on Git, basic shell commands and whatnot while backend stuff isn't necessarily my main interest, in terms of web stuff I definitely lean more backend than frontend

Big trees!!!

and maybe even for outdoor trips I mean really, anywhere and everywhere

equally relevant for music festivals 🤭

today’s college class turned pretty quickly into “eat the rich”, and we were all here for it (including the professor!) talking about economic and social inequality from past to present

AT LEAST 10 STUDENTS 1 IN 8 IS JUST FULL SEND “LET THE AI DO MY WORK”

compsci professor laid the smackdown today: “all AI slop submissions get a 0 going forward, no second chance” in a class total of ~80 (between in-person and online) I think I’m fine gotta wonder what % of the class is cooked, though

the rare times I wander over to X for work-related stuff it just all looks like slop - not AI slop, but very similar in tone/consistency

man I love this cat

accidentally noticing details saves the day once again! “why the fuck is our local cloud server struggling” me: “hey why’s this VM say it’s like 95% full on storage?”

so if there’s secure scuttlebutt, where’s insecure scuttlebutt!?

on one hand, AI tools are very good at bouncing ideas off of to help reinforce learning - this can be a legitimately very great tool for education (with caveats! gotta be sure to double-check and verify) on the other hand, I couldn't resist

I have been “Vee” for well over 5 years now (and soon, legally!) never have I been more rattled than one of my professors picking on another student in my class with the same name as my deadname hearing it over and over 🫠

There is no transfemme god but estrogen and Blåhaj is her divine messenger.

if you're already going fast through your feed, you're nyoomscrolling

Wow and here I thought 'egg computer' just referred to suspiciously feminine programmers

>trying very hard to avoid AI usage for my education >figure it can't hurt to poke at one for topics beyond where I'm at right now >sign up for Claude >go through initial steps, get to onboarding screen >"we're currently unavailable, try again later" >oof.jpg

*disappointingly* "That sounds like math! And NOTHING makes me softer than math." -Dan Avidan

i made a thing that hopefully makes this clearer or is at least fun to play with: sgd.fyi

age verification restrictions are inherently unjust even if you solve all the issues around privacy or data leaks gating access to information based on intrinsic traits (yes even age, yes even porn) is fundamentally evil and provides no real benefit other than the censor’s moral self-indulgence

you "can just do things" but this elides that you actually _must_ just do things

my partner and I have wildly contrasting racks, and the best comparison I can think of is hers are heavy cream and mine are skim milk

something I’ve floundered with in the past is the ability to read, /fully understand/, and then follow /directions/ slowly getting better with that in college

starter pack, more like startle pack - influx of new followers makes you go “woag! you startled me”

+1 to Binging with Babish’s French Toast recipe, couple tiny tweaks due to available ingredients but it tastes fantastic

studying for a biology exam, kinda rattles my mind most major US environmental policy came about under a Republican president

admittedly, while I am upfront about it, I have broken my “no alts” policy and made an alt for more babyposting stuff - it’s balance between being authentic and not scaring away EVERYONE, because I have various friends and sm0rt people following me who I quite like (and I hope they like me!)

going outside to kiss people will become more important than ever in a post-sora 2 world if you can’t kiss them then how do you know they are real?

sometimes I wonder if being upfront about my being a babyfur/little/middle/what have you on this account is a good idea, and if its alienated some who otherwise would have liked my posts. But I feel like it destigmatizes it a little. 20y ago people wouldn't admit to liking furries or being a furry.

not coming out until your 30s really sucks, bc you miss out on those quintessential 20s girl experiences like dating a really sweet guy who deals with the world wearing him down by getting ever more chromed up until he goes cyberpsycho and gets flatlined while saving you from a megacorp

You need a lot more than *just* street raves in goofy costumes to stop fascism, but it should be a go to strategy whenever fascists are trying to portray some place as a terrifying war zone. Fun, effective counter-propaganda.

thinking I’ll finally give Claude a try for a smol project I’m working on… very resistant to AI as a “knowledge replacer”, but I think that’s due to my incorrect views of it / lack of knowledge on how to healthily(?) use it as a tool

Scrolling around at the speed of sound

Apple/Google Play Store blocking ICE tracking apps should be a push into decentralized RF communication.

re: HRT

(1/4) I'm soft launching nooki.me to get some early traction and feedback on what to improve. Excited to see how this platform grows!

showcasing personal websites in college programming club (oh right, I have one of those!) not me forgetting I had a, uh, certain term on my website that got shown in front of a dozen other students, WHELP (but I do need to make more blog posts)

everything transgender everyone computer

significantly dialing back my political media consumption has definitely improved my mental health
