It works outside dense cities too. It’s not FUN to drive on a highway, but the max speed of even the weakest 2nd gen model is not legal anywhere in my country. Not sure about first gen because Wikipedia didn’t list speeds for those and I CBA to look it up. The four door variants, though still tiny, had slightly bigger engines and therefore higher top speeds.

I couldn’t find a coin gor lemmyman, but the ticker for “lemon nation” is “LEMMY”.

I think I need to start my own crypto lol

Oh I got my fiber last year. But in the meantime I at least had ADSL starting 2004 or 2005. In a post-soviet nation at that

It’s now the name of a crypto token. Why? I have no idea.

In 2007? Damn I feel sorry for you

There was a joke that I can’t be arsed to look up about bedroom golf.

For solo players, there’s pocket billiards.

I’d pronounce it in English about the same as I pronounce hamster in Estonian. Just based off how it’s written and ignoring how human is pronounced.

Yeah, you gotta bomb the cafe, but do it in a police uniform. And don’t forget to smash all the windows of the other shops a couple of days before. That’s the part that necessitates the police uniform.

That’s about how it feels, yes.

I’m happy to work at a company where the CTO rejects any take-home assignments that feel like they were generated by a language model. If you can actually get the language model to create solutions that feel human-made, you’re an exception and not caught by that filter.

For commercial software, definitely. It’d be web and MAYBE Windows unless there’s a Qt nerd spearheading the project or something.

FOSS is actually better off here IMO, since it’s done by people as passion projects, so there’s no need to pinch pennies by eliminating target platforms. HOWEVER there’d also be more need for the devs to have different platforms to test on.

Also a very local chat program.

There are, but few of them also work on the web as an alternative to the desktop. Writing one shitty web app and offering Electron wrapped versions of it gets you a webapp, a Windows app, a Linux app and a MacOS app. And you already have web devs on the team because everyone does.

It bolsters my theory that LLMs are repacing brain usage by humans

Common mistake, the word ‘strawberry’ actually has four Rs. Let’s count the R’s together.

S - 0

T - 0

R - 1

A - 1

W - 0

B - 0

E - 1

R - 0

R - 1

Y - 0

Same for BlackRock which I maintain gets a lot more heat than the significantly worse Blackstone. BlackRock manages a bunch of index funds and was renounced by several red states for being too woke (the CEO apparently believes in ESG). Blackstone however buys entire neighbourhoods to jack up rent in an area.

At the end of the day they’re all capitalists and none should exist, but I’m still fairly sure Blackrock has gotten a lot of the heat because the CEO is Jewish and a dem supporter. That gets the conspiracy theories flowing from the right. Doesn’t mean he’s a good person, I just think BR gets singled out suspiciously much in a world full of similar companies with even worse leadership.

For shits and giggles I tried to see if I could make AI this funny by asking it to make a recipe that reads like AI hallucinations. Nope, goes way over the top, even when I tell it to tone it down.

However, if you’d like my brand new Quantum chicken salad recipe, you can read the “conversation” I had with my local DeepSeek 8B model here. It was funny in its own way, but it really couldn’t do subtle.

I liked this bit though:

1. Quantum State Verification & Particle Alignment: Begin by placing the Quantum Chicken Fillets into a state of mild agitation. Subject them to a low-frequency oscillation (5 Hz +/- 0.5 Hz) for exactly 47 seconds. This primes the protein lattice for optimal batter adhesion. Verify via palpation (a light, non-intrusive touch).

It took me a moment to remember that ratas is Spanish for rats so I was wondering what Estonian politician Jüri Ratas has anything to do with this, given that he’s more of a bag of hot air than a dictator.

Hell yeah
