@prologic I was not quick enough this morning, but we had about 30 (maybe more) seagulls flying around in our neighbourhood making a lot of noise. Seagulls are so freakin' loud. Unbelievable. In comparison, your bird is super quiet.
[47°09′23″S, 126°43′54″W] Resetting dosimeter
@stigatle I think the others are not yet awake. And I just came back here after some off-time. I actually was close to shutting this down and leaving for Mastodon.
@abucci There is no pressure. I just find it very helpful in my daily conversation. I have to write so many emails to so many idiots who have no idea what they are doing. But WE need their input for our work, and we kind of rely on their willingness to give us their data (by contract) in a certain time frame. Often they do not send anything and we run after them a lot. I asked if I could write something called a "brand letter" in German. But my boss refused. So, I have to write nice texts so as not to annoy them. #IfYouSeeThisBossDontFireMe :-)
@prologic: Holy cow, that sounds amazing and scary at the same time.
@prologic Hi there. Makes sense and sounds of logic to me. I will think about it. But then, where should I host my code with nice automatic builds? Can I set up something on my own? Or should I go to gitlab?

[47°09′55″S, 126°43′51″W] Dosimeter overflow
@prologic The good thing here at least is that you get back on your taxes if you loose money, so that helps a bit, and if you buy mining gear you can write some of the cost up as well etc. So it's a pretty nice that they have done it that way here. The only downside is what I mentioned already - the complexity of filing it all.
@stigatle Haha oh well as long as you had fun doing it 😆 Stocks are quite speculative too but have a a stronger backing if you invest for the long haul.

[47°09′09″S, 126°43′46″W] Dosimeter malfunction
@prologic The one I actually use for something is Monero. I also mine it (asic resistant, mined with cpu). The others I just put some savings in every month. The whole pyramid scheme thing - I do not think much about honestly. Crypto is here to stay, won't go away. And for me it's better then stocks because I know nothing about stocks and such. I do not put much into it. I also had some NFT stuff that I minted - which I sold for 10x the price later on, but honestly - last year I gained as much as I lost, so it evened out to almost 0.

in a normal software development lifecycle if you were building a new project and reusing other people's works, you would correctly attribute what you use correctly identify licenses that you borrow and use from etc.

This is the biggest problem I have with using large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and Copilot to assist in the development of code.
@carsten I would strongly encourage you to reconsider your use of these tools as a direct copyright, and license violation of the works of those that you are benefiting from without contribution, attribution, or maintaining or adhering to the original license of the code that the models were trained on.
The whole ChatGPT and large language model (LLM) training datasets, are probably the worlds biggest copyright and authorship violations in human
history.
This is why many years ago I took all of my source code, and all of my open source project off of GitHub.

nothing against the actual technology, a distributed ledger, keeping track of transactions amongst friends in an orderly and agreed-upon manner and exchanging tokens for goods and services.
The general capability is quite compelling. If only it was actually use that way.

@stigatle i'm also very curious, what do you actually use cryptocurrency for? I never really got into it only in the earl days of some bitcoin mining and then I gave up after I quickly realized how much of a big, massive pyramid scam the whole thing really Wass 🤣

in fact honest to God why don't these stupid politicians just rewrite the bill to mandate that listening devices be installed in every persons home around the globe and be done with it.
it's functionally equivalent to what they're proposing by breaking encryption for messaging protocols that allow us to have private conversations across the globe, often even in the same bloody house!
do it and see what kind of kickback you get.
I really quite dare politicians to get this pushed through because I would love to watch the onslaught of lawsuits in class, action suits and riots and pushback from the global population as they realize that their lost freedoms have been all that stripped away from them -- the freedom to even talk to each other!

@prologic yeah. Everything else on my taxes are already folled in. For crypto you need to add each and every transaction. The online service I use has api to each major exchange, pulls the data and crunches the numbers for you though. The problems start when you use decentralised exchanges or unsupported wallets etc. Took some hours to sort out on my end. But now I do not have to worry about it. 😀
@hacker-news-newest Oh for fucks sake. Can these lousy good for nothing politicians around the world leave this the fuck alone?! 🤦♂️
Go solve real problems. 🤬

Had to add all my crypto to my taxes, damn that is a painful process. There are online services that helps with that part, so I use that to help. but I have transactions all over the place, so it takes a lot of time. But now it's done for this years tax report :)
@carsten we had a massive electrical storm a few weeks ago and it was so intense; It basically lit up the park completely white. 😱

@carsten The point @abucci is making here is just how easily we are willing to give up our personal thoughts and minds to train other companies AI models.
It is straight out of the page of big tech companies that profit off all your data using targeted advertising and selling that data to the highest bidder.
It seems we (in general) have not learned any lessons from the past ~20yrs of this tactic used on the general population 🤦♂️
There is (I assure you there will be, don't know what it is yet...) a price to be paid for this convenience.~

@carsten I think fake is a bit harsh sure 😆 You went to some effort clearly 👌 -- But as @abucci points out we don't have a great connection to you and your inner feelings and vision aside from your test description (which may be good enough 🤔) Still I enjoyed what you did even if it was done with an LLM 🤣

@carsten @lyse I also think it is best called fake. Art is created by human beings, for human beings. It mediates a relationship between two people, and is a means of expression.
A computer has no inner life, no feelings, no experience of the world. It is not sentient. It has no life. There's nothing "in" there for it to express. It's just generating pixels in patterns we've learned to recognize. These AI technologies are carefully crafted to fool people into experiencing the things they experience when they look at human-made art, but it is an empty experience.

@carsten Who says you need to use anything like that? Where's the pressure coming from?
@lyse I would not call it fake. It is not drawn by hand, that's sure. But fake?
@abucci naja. It is a good helper tool. German Based Company. And yes, you can also get a paid account. But which text correct should I use then?
@lyse Yes yes, Thunderstorm is gone. The clouds move fast here in The Hague.
