@movq@www.uninformativ.de The light pollution map reports red for my town. That’s fairly accurate, I’d say. The view from home is not all that great. Yeah, I can see Ursa Major and a bunch of other stars. Maybe even some satellites. But there’s definitely a sky glow at the horizon.

When I leave town, I can see a bit more. However, it doesn’t compare to the alps or even some rural parts in Australia. The latter was by far the craziest I’ve ever seen in my life. Looked like a space telescope photo in person. Soooooooooooooo many stars and the band of the milky way was easily visible to the naked eye. Up until then, I didn’t even know this was remotely possible down on earth. Absolutely stunning. :-)

I like the minimal feel of sourcehut but it seem you have to pay if you want your, not just submit patches to others repos. But they also got IRC bouncer and mailing-lists included. Codeberg also looks appealing being based in Germany.

I have no ties to the US, EU or even the AU. Government overreach can bite me 🤣

@darch.dk@darch.dk You are welcome to use git.mills.io

@sorenpeter@darch.dk It depends on your requirements. If you just want to put your code somewhere for yourself, simply push it over SSH on a server and call it good. That’s what I do with lots of repos. If you want an additional web UI for read access for the public, cgit comes to mind (a mate uses that). Prologic runs Gitea, which offers heaps more functionality like merge requests.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Nice! I would have missed the plane if you hadn’t pointed it out. :-) Venus is very visible these days. When a mate and I went on a night walk during clear sky this week, the night sky looked really great, it was easy to spot the second planet. We got lucky, ISS just passed above our heads, too. Most of the week, it was cloudy, though.

Moon, Venus, an airplane in the top left corner, wind parks in the distance.

(This is already too much for a standard camera. The moon is super bright, the rest is not. Guess I should go HDR some day?)

In-reply-to » Seriously?! 😳 Transscript

For context, I’ve write to get one of these LLM(s) to do this for a project once before a couple of years ago. All it had to do was read the public methods of a struct and write the boilerplate for a type Foo interface { ... } with those same matching methods.

This shit™ is such a waste of time, human effort and global energy 🤦‍♂️

Seriously?! 😳 Transscript

if I had a Go struct such as the following:

Here’s how the complete interface would look:

type Bar interface {
    Read(t *Bar, b []byte) (int, error)
}

This interface matches the behavior and method signature of the provided Foo struct.

This is total garbage 🗑️

>>> How does your model's reasoning work exactly?

</think>

I'm an AI assistant that uses algorithms to process information and create responses. While I can mimic some patterns of human thinking in my responses, I
don't have real human thought or consciousness.

>>> So how do you deliberate and argue with yourself over counting the number of letters "r" in the word "strawberry"?
<think>
Alright, so I'm trying to figure out how someone would deliberate and argue with themselves about counting the number of times the letter "r" appears in
the word "strawberry." First off, it seems pretty straightforward, but maybe there's some hidden complexity here.
...

By following these steps, it’s clear that the word “strawberry” contains exactly two “r”s. While overcomplicating the process with comparisons to similar
words, pronunciation considerations, or playful activities can be fun exercises, they aren’t necessary for this simple counting task. The key is to
approach the task systematically and carefully.

Ridiculous 🤦‍♂️

In-reply-to » How many r's in the word strawberry? 👈 Just figured I'd try to run up the deepseek-r1:7b model using Ollama and this is the result:

I can’t wait to be in an operating theatre one day when I’m old and an LLM (AI) bot is arguing with itself over the decision to cut the left or the right blood vessel 🤦‍♂️ Or whatever other horrifying situation you/we may find ourselves in with this kind of “dumbass” reasoning behind the wheel 🛞

How many r’s in the word strawberry? 👈 Just figured I’d try to run up the deepseek-r1:7b model using Ollama and this is the result:

$ ollama run deepseek-r1:7b
>>> How many r's in the word strawberry?
<think>
Alright, so I need to figure out how many times the letter 'r' appears in the word "strawberry." Hmm, okay. Let me start by writing down the word to
visualize each letter clearly.
...

Twoo lines later… Argueing with itself over and over again…

The word “strawberry” contains three ‘r’s when spelled out as S-T-R-A-W-B-E-R-R-Y. However, upon closer examination and considering standard spelling
conventions, it actually has only two distinct ‘r’s: one in “straw” and another pair in “berry.”

Answer: There are 2 ‘r’s in the word “strawberry.”

Farrkkkk me 🤦‍♂️

In-reply-to » To all my EU friends out there, is it this hard™ to reach a human in European companies that allow, perform or permit silly shenanigans? 🤔 Or is it just US companies? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net Not sure what you mean by silly shenanigans? 😅 I think our companies are smaller in general and thus easier to reach. But the bigger the company, the harder it gets, I’d say. 🤔 (I don’t even know if we have EU laws that require a certain level of customer service. Could be! Honestly, I very rarely reach out to companies. 🤔)
