That’s a very poetic way of looking at the way our data on these forms will be processed and ingested by LLMs in the coming years. I have been considering cloning my own voice and experimenting with the multitude of use cases that can provide.

All the developed literature as well as entirely documented human lives… Readily available with numerical recipes for their processing and integration into whatever societal infrastructure comes out of where we’re headed right now.

It was strange for me to come to terms with that. The crowd that Lemmy fosters is such a different subset than the general population. Sometimes I wonder what growing up online will do to people down the line from us.

It’s heart rending to hear what you’re going through, OP. I’m sure your family will sincerely cherish what you write. I also agree with others who have mentioned to add stipulations on how you want your thoughts to be used. Not to speak for you, but I wouldn’t want my likelihood desecrated in some manufactured effigy long after my death.

Not to say I didn’t spend a fair chunk of my own life online, but with the advancements in materials and manufacturing methods, I wonder what storage devices and technologies will become sarcophagi for our archived lives…

Wishing you wonders in your last moments, OP.

Never have heard of Poetry, but I’ll check it out tonight! I pretty much exclusively coded in Python and Julia up until I got out of uni. I learned after a couple of months of insanity swapping kernels, init systems, distributions and learning everything about file systems only leads to further insanity and productivity hindrance.

Something something recommending someone who doesn’t know what a shell is to use emacs and make a Lua/Neovim config. Thanks for the tip!

Memes like this make me ever more confused about my own software work flow. I’m in engineering so you can already guess my coding classes were pretty surface level at least at my uni and CC

Conda is what I like to use for data science but I still barely understand how to maintain a package manager. Im lowkey a bot when it comes to using non-GUI programs and tbh that paradigm shift has been hard after 18 years of no CLI usage.

The memes are pretty educational though

I want to get better at using TUIs and all the lot of lighter-weight software, but I’ve quite frankly been too stupid to learn it.

I downloaded Gentoo onto an old Chromebook with the Mr Chromebox script. Currently am trying to make it into a sandbox for me to learn more about how init systems, compilers, and other lower level OS details.

Other than reading the Wikis, are there any projects that you’d suggest to increase one’s ability in those realms? Thanks!

Unfortunately I don’t think completely automating my resume is going to happen. It’s just a dream :( I’ve finally found something that got the attention of an employer though, so hopefully my job search will be over soon.

I’m still itching to do something with NLP/LLMs, but I’ll have to define the problem more rigorously rather than throw out nebulous desires. Thanks for the response!

I’d love it if they made a movie on Mel. The guy who coded a magnetic drum completely by hand.

He’d memorized a gazillion opcodes and tuned the drum to do better even before compilers had been implemented. He just didn’t trust them so he refused to use the compiler lol

I’ll check those out and see if I can get a good workflow going for it.

I wanted my first web project to be a static site since I really only need a blog at this point in time. The use case for my blog really would be to write about chemistry and chemical engineering stuff I think is cool. Having a worksheet repository for my students as well that they could access with some encryption so the access is restricted. I’d love to try the fancy stuff on websites, I just need to get the poison of “JavaScript is spyware” out of my head.

It’s pretty disorienting to figure out the “right” way of learning web development after the loads of slander I’ve seen in memes. Im sure youve seen the same about React, JavaScript, and something about “NodeJS”. I wasn’t really too aware of software other than doing calculations on data collected from DAQs. Any resources you’d recommend to check out?

I guess I should ask the question, what exactly is all the fuss about surrounding some of the frameworks? I definitely can see the argument about adding more layers of abstraction can obfuscate the underlying mechanisms of the codes thus increasing the amount of potential vulnerabilities. Particular companies and developers turning evil is also. But some of the rhetoric becomes “They’ll put a miner for your crypto” “They’ll siphon every facet of information about you”. The most bizarre I read was how to figure out the outline of 3D objects surrounding the user via the pattern in white noise detected by an interference pattern.

Histrionics aside, is there a good resource that I can read that dismisses common falsehoods that is generally reflective of what constitutes a " good" framework? Thanks for the help!

Awesome! I’ll send you a DM a bit later with some details about the Chromebook when I dig through the mountain of stuff in front of me. Appreciate the help :)

Sorry for the late response, I’ve been wading through my inbox to get back to most :)

That’s gotta be why they make it so damn hard to uninstall ChromeOS… I like that Linux is being popularized more, but I hear whispers from the F(L)OSS community in my head that Canonical and Microsoft are one in the same. Its a bit confusing some of the rhetoric surrounding certain companies and software other than the blatantly obvious like Microsoft or Google, but I’ll never quite understand programmer “martian”…

Have you worked on chrome books before and swapped the OS?

Apologies for the long wait for a response. Been trying to get back to people.

I checked out the Chromebook I have and made a post on the Gentoo form, but don’t believe I’m able to do it for my particular model because of how I’m sandboxed in a subsystem of something. Could I DM you and we could chat more about sending Chrome OS to the shadow realm?

Awful!!! I remember using those junktops when I was in high school…

Made me realize I still have one lying around and I tried to put Linux on it, but they seem to only let you sandbox Linux in it…? Not able to enter BIOS supposedly due to the firmware is obnoxious. Is there any way to put coreboot on over the firmware or something?

Welcome to the platform! Unfortunately, Reddit isn’t what it used to be, but we definitely can reignite the community that we all so fondly remember. Already loving it here and how friendly everyone has been :)
