I tried switching 2 different times now from neovim (with Lazyvim), and I can’t break the muscle memory. Neovim has become an IDE in the terminal for me, and it does more than I need it to

Went outdoor rock climbing this past weekend and a group brought their bearded dragon (“Chubby”) up to the crag with them

“Cauliflower”

Haven’t tried this yet, so not sure anything is live, but am hopeful

Yep! In fact, I got so nostalgic about it, I have been playing it on PCSX2 in recent weeks 😅

Gahds the news cycle is so ridiculous now. Forgot about this asshat.

“The AI hallucinated the brutality, your honor.”

“Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, just because they’re a dissident that speaks out often against authority who we clearly would like to silence doesn’t mean the AI is biased in its assessment of their guilt.”

Jake Paul (controversial USian idiot that fought Mike Tyson a while back) v Anthony Joshua, British professional fighter. Paul got a broken jaw.

See whatcha did there lol

Did this as well! But, we used sous vide turkey breast, and only made enough fixings for the sandwich instead of making the whole meal first (there’s only two of us). Had the leftover sandwich for Thanksgiving dinner!

I cycle when I can, I have a 20mi loop on trails I can do, but fell way short of my goal for this year. I also am trying to restart regular yoga classes with my partner at our gym, where we also climb and lift weights. Hiking is good too, or even just walking our neighborhood. Eating healthy (we focus on protein and whole food/plant based, but not completely vegetarian), and I’ve been tryin to cut back on the whiskey and beer but it’s just so good and shit is just so depressing in the world lately…

Learned on a 2000s era VW Beetle, and then a Mazda B2500 FW/2WD. Last manual I owned was a 2015 Honda Fit. Now both our vehicles are Automatic AWD.

I did get to drive a little 4cyl manual SEAT on holiday in Madeira which was an adventure. 36% grade roads, hairpin turns – like 150cc mario kart around there

Got my wife to use Ffox with uBlock origin! I have a raspberry pi waiting to be a pihole (again). Took it down to troubleshoot a while ago and left it off. I’d really like to set up more of a “digital homestead” as a friend calls it–just need time, money, and money.

It was pseudo-3D, I remember reading an article about how they made the sprites, but can’t find that… wikipedia has

Donkey Kong Country was one of the first games for a mainstream home video game console to use pre-rendered 3D graphics

and they used SGI workstations to create the models and animations before compressing/converting them to 2D sprites

Rare invested their NES profit in Silicon Graphics, Inc. (SGI) Challenge workstations with Alias rendering software to render 3D models. It was a significant risk, as each workstation cost £80,000.

(sharing bc I thought that’s a crazy amount of money for 1992)

Definitely keep it, looks great!

Using Voyager App on Android, it appears that the syntax highlighting defaults to SQL for code blocks without a specified language?

Strange

Went climbing at the gym, went snowboarding, working on setting up the *arr stack + kodi on a raspi5 for a friend. I’m curious to see how well it performs with downloading and serving video content. Getting a (pretty old, well-used creality) 3d printer out of it… new hobby??

I paid for Kagi for a while and many of my coworkers use it. It’s a solid and growing engine that’s getting a a lot right re: creating good UX and generating search results (which should be the goal of a search engine, *sigh).

That said, l use SearxNG daily nowadays because it’s decentralized and privacy-focused. You can use any of the public instances or host your own if you like.

Here’s an example of the search results for “Neuroscience” on the instance I use.

Plus one for posteo. I’ve used them for several years now and have had no issues

Seriously can’t agree more. Whatever small utility LLMs offer (I haven’t used them in my day-to-day work at all because a regular search works for me just fine, and I can create my own images), it’s not worth the incredible amount of resources used to perform a single query. Maybe if we had fusion energy and there were no environmental implications to further researching the theoretical limits of LLMs their use could be justified–but we don’t, there are, so it can’t.
