The studies about intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation suggest otherwise, and that monetary rewards can even have a negative impact on productivity and creativity. Ultimately, we want a society of intrinsically motivated people doing their best, most inspired work, not a society following financial incentives.

Clearly SaaS isn’t working out, so just open source all the frontier models and stop building data centers so we can all buy our own GPUs.

I knew it!

Don’t ducks have specific migratory flyaways, so it’s more akin to commercial airlines in that they fly specific routes seasonally? Other than that, I assume they primarily fly between bodies of water. “As the duck flies” would therefore assume that a duck would even fly the route in question, when in fact, a crow may be more likely to fly it than a duck.

Yeah, the series definitely overstayed it’s welcome.

Reminds me of this classic Andy Griffith Show scene from the Opie and the Bully episode.

“So you want to fight? Step across this line. Alright, knock this off my shoulder, I dare you. So you wanna fight huh? Just step inside this circle.” 😆

I can see where an AI that fucks everything up all the time might be entertaining like a good slapstick comedy, but nah, Resident Evil Requiem is sufficient entertainment for now.

I didn’t realize TSLA stock had an upward trend most of last year and is only heading downhill this year.

Interesting, I’ve only ever had this issue in Mint as well.

My Mint laptop audio stopped working for a couple months and then miraculously fixed itself this week. I made various attempts to fix it with no luck. It’s either a hardware issue or some obscure software issue.

In the past, I had plugged in a HDMI cable to mirror the screen and couldn’t get the audio working again until I plugged it back into HDMI and switched it back to the internal speakers before unplugging HDMI. Before the audio broke this time, I had connected a USB microphone, so it’s possible that’s what did it.

Reading Tesla workers shared images from car cameras, including “scenes of intimacy” was enough to put me off Tesla. The build quality being garbage and Musk also being a garbage human being make the company just a complete waste of space.

The Bible doesn’t specifically condemn pedophilia, and in fact seems to endorse it, so I guess he was technically practicing Christian ethics.

The coal miners were told to learn to code, but maybe software engineers should be learning coal mining at this point. With all the AI data centers being built, there sure is going to be a lot of demand for coal.

Yep, I’d really like to stick to SoCs in the future as well. I’m holding off on hardware purchases until 2027 when AMD’s RDNA 5 will be available. Apple Silicon is amazing, but I’d like a less expensive alternative that has broader Linux distro support. RDNA 5 will bring true RTX cores, which is critical for my Blender rendering workloads, and is the main reason why I couldn’t justify AMD GPUs in the past for anything other than a dedicated gaming machine (e.g., Steam Deck).

My friend was part of the layoff and said they are providing 2 weeks of benefits. So, no health insurance after 2 weeks. It’s barbaric that access to healthcare is tied to employers in this country.

My kids’ devices are blocked from internet access in my OpenWRT firewall and I run a Squid proxy on my server with an allowlist of domains they can access.

This movie gets horrible reviews, but I always found it hilarious.

I run k3s and use Argo CD at work, but it always seemed overkill for my home server. I also would want to use self-hosted Forgejo instead of an external service, but I don’t care to spend time on a setup that bootstraps Forgejo, PostgreSQL and Argo CD, then has all of the above managed by Argo CD.

At least there would be more eye witnesses to help debunk Joan Rivers’ conspiracy theory.
