@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Really depends on the genre, I guess. 🤔 Quite a lot of “non-pop” music still uses the format “concept album”, I think. 🤔 But don’t ask me for any solid statistics. 😅

With all these new ways of digital publishing, I’m wondering for years why music artists still release entire albums. I would have imagined that most bands simply publish a new song whenever it’s good to go. But no, at least in my bubble, everybody still collects a bunch of new songs before throwing them as a collection into the crowd. I never used any of these streaming services, though, so maybe I’m just completely uninformed.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Those are some very colorful shots. 👌 It was pretty warm here as well, health issues prevented me from going out, though.

(Have we established that Azabache is male? 😃)

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net I should cancel Netflix as well. Back when they started their streaming service, it was a revelation: Finally, I could watch interesting shows in English, without having to wait for years, and legally (I like to be a paying customer, if it’s good). But this is long over. The interesting shows are gone or, once again, I have to wait for years until they’re available on Netflix. So, why bother anymore? 🤷‍♀️

@rnlog@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Well, welcome back. 👋

The weathermen just cannot be right with their 20°C today, it must have been more. It was awfully hot, the light breeze was not enough and even absent most of the time. In the shade, it was alright. Other than that, the walk to the dairy farm and back was really beautiful. Very lovely scenery.

Somebody spilled their paintbox at sunset. Unfortunately, I missed to reinsert the SD card into my camera, so I could not take more photos of Azabache and his new mate. They quickly disappeared. He even landed right next to my window, so that would have been a killer shot.

It’s been so long since I last posted here

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Right. :(

@bender@twtxt.net Thanks, I’ll read it – once I have the energy. 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh, yeah, right, I hadn’t even considered that (we mostly use one model). Choose a different model and it does something completely different. Cool stuff.

@bender@twtxt.net Or maybe I’m just shitty at communication and maybe that’s why nobody at work understands my “arguments” against AI/LLMs. 🤪🤣

(I’m too tired to rephrase the OP. Maybe some other day. Actually, rest assured that I will complain about this again. 😅)

@bender@twtxt.net … that was not my point. 🥴

i closed spotify and netflix accounts some months ago, now netflix send emails every day asking me to return for .99 and recommending me shows that i’ve never been interested in, 11 email so far, are they are so desperate! spotify is silent for now:)

Another AI rant:

One of the “key features” of LLMs is that you can use “natural language”, because that is supposed to be easier than having to learn a programming language. So, when someone says to me, “I automated this process using AI!”, what they mean is: They have written a very, very large Markdown document. In this document, they list what the AI is supposed to do.

In prose.

This is a complete disaster.

Programming and programming languages have one crucial property: They follow a well-defined structure and every word has a well-defined meaning. That is absolutely brilliant, because I can read this and I can follow the program in my head. I can build a mental model. I can debug this, down to the precise instructions that the CPU executes. This all follows well-defined patterns that you can reason about.

But with these Markdown files, I am completely lost. We lose all these important properties! No debugging, no reasoning about program flow, nothing. It’s all gone. It’s a magic black box now, literally randomized, that may or may not do what you wanted, in some order.

People now throw these Markdown files at me … and … am I supposed to read this? Why? It’s completely random and fuzzy.

Sadly, these AI tools are good enough to be able to mostly grasp the authors intentions. Hence people don’t see the harm they cause, because “it works”.

We already have a ton of automations like this at work: Tickets get piped through an LLM and these Markdown files / prompts determine what will happen with the ticket, and maybe they trigger additional actions as well, like account creation or granting permissions. All based on fuzzy natural language – that no two humans will ever properly agree on.

Jesus Christ, we’re now INTENTIONALLY bringing the ambiguity of legal texts and lawyers into programming.

Using natural language is NOT easier than using a programming language. It is HARDER. Have you people never read a legal contract? And that stuff can STILL be debated in a court room.

I can’t begin to comprehend why we, tech folks, push this so hard. What is wrong with you? Or me?

(And, once again, we’re ignoring other factors here. LLMs use a ton of energy and ressources, that we don’t have to spare. It’s expensive as fuck. It doesn’t even run locally on our servers, meaning we give all these credentials and permissions to some US company. It’s insane.)

Where in the world is Jamesldo?

That’s a very interesting thought and I agree: https://benhoyt.com/writings/dependencies/

First twtxt after upgrading (as I don’t want a reply to count as one).

Hey all my dear twtxters! Again, please have a look at https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtxt.dev/pulls/28 so that we can button the Twt Hash v2 Extension up soon. Love to get some feedback, comments, questions, doubts, critiques, improvements, etc.

When are the RAM/SSD prices going down?

@kiwu@twtxt.net after you upload, make sure the audio file looks like this:
![](https://twtxt.net/media/0a1ca4e84f4edf89474fc459cf3c1372.mp3)
And it will work.

Testing…

And here we go! Yup, hash has seven.

Testing jenny. You should probably ignore this, and the next twtxt.

@rdlmda@rdlmda.me that’s odd. In here is similar, but not random. All it takes is some rain, and then flip a coin: we may, or may not lose power.

Third power failure in two weeks. Every time a different apartment loses power at the same time as mine. I hope the power company is able to find the cause.

@prologic@twtxt.net it does! it wont let me do it like that tho

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org no dice. Same.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I don’t think it is anything you are doing wrong. I think it is on @prologic@twtxt.net side. I am getting the exact same result, but I never cloned that repository. Maybe it worked fine at certain point, when @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org cloned it, but I doubt brand new users can get through.

For the record, the third thing is to activate agent forwarding. In ~/.ssh/config:

Host git.mills.io
ForwardAgent yes

😱😱😱

@rdlmda@rdlmda.me LOL. Do it, do it!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org “deep layers of the Mills infrastructure” LOL.

@rdlmda@rdlmda.me it is called, in Spanish, “the mother”. It is created through a bit (not by much) effort, and kept as a starting point. Just like Asian cuisine has dishes that never cool, always cooking leaving always a base on it.

How do you think a lathe (and just about any tool, etc.) is done? Yup, in part by using a lathe. 😅

@bender@twtxt.net Somehow, the enshittificator himself does not have to deal with enshittification in his own life. In fact, his job gets better with the internet! This can only mean one thing, we all have to becom…

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Congrats, mate, no sleep at night anymore! ;-D That’s a cool age measuring blanket. Haven’t seen something like that before.

Btw. the index.html includes an out of place </ul>. And I just wanna let you know that the full-size photos don’t load for me over here across the pond. They always run into a timeout after a few slooow percent. But no worries. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @bender@twtxt.net You need a running SSH agent in order to make it through the deep layers of the Mills infrastructure: After ssh-add, git pull always works for me.

And contrary to what the UI shows, the username git always has to be replaced with your own one.

For what is worth, I get the same thing when trying over ssh. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@prologic@twtxt.net network is very secure! 🤪

@movq@www.uninformativ.de just use https instead:

git clone https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtxt.dev.git

“A proud tradition, but it is hard work. Enter… The Internet!”

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org congratulations mate! Let it be joy, and happiness! Enjoy every moment. Time will fly, and next you know you will be a curmudgeon who knows nothing. 😅

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Congrats! 🥳

Hmm I think it’s a bug in the Javascript. It’s meant to be ![title](url)

Does that work?

I turned off indexing and anonymous access i think? 🧐
