QR codes, already posted about them in the last two posts, but I want to hear your hot takes: Should they only be black and white, are they even worth doing in 2025, incorporating them into things,..?
Also, finally getting full screen view for avatars in XMPP - a better integrated one, after 25 years. Y@ay!

@thecanine@twtxt.net with this you meant Conversations, not XMPP, right?

On QRs, as long as they work (and they are quite resilient), it doesn’t matter. Their design, and colours, will be based on theme in which they are included. They are getting used more now in the US. They are king on East Asia. They are awesome.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de this is mind boggling. How come it looks just fine under Mosaic, and not under IE3? Man, am I glad I don’t use a Microsoft browser!

My website is compatible with many old browsers, but Internet Explorer 3, uhm, not so much.

Almost sure it would look even better if you removed CSS altogether for IE3, and the like. Your site is clean as a whistle, just vanilla, no CSS.

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah, that will work perfectly. Because you are using “please”—which we all know is a magic talisman word of obedience—all uploads of your code to Github will be automatically paused, until such magic word is removed. 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net I remember going through your “introduction to Golang”, I don’t remember the URL, but I vividly remember going through it, and I was lost at chapter one. So, about that “mastering” the core in hours, “I don’t believe you.” (insert I don’t believe you meme animated GIF here). LOL.

Over the past few weeks I've been experimenting with and doing some deep learning and researching into neutral networks and evolutionary adaptation of them. The thing is I haven't gotten very far. I've been able to build two different approaches so far with limited results. The frustrating part is that these things are so "random" it isn't even funny. Like I can't even get a basic ANN + GA to evolve a network that solves the XOR pattern every time with high levels of accuracy. 😞

Jokes aside, what’s the aim for doing this? Other than learning something new, that is.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org an “informal” one. @movq@www.uninformativ.de doesn’t even need to reach out. Simply wait until they start playing, measure the tempo, and start bassing on queue! Oh man, I can already imagine it! Dreamy! :-)

@bender @prologic Jokes aside, I don't think that's the right approach either. We had spell checkers, since I can remember, as well as other tools, like the smart image select, used mostly to remove backgrounds. These are tools, that just simplify the process of either opening up a dictionary and looking up a word, you can't remember the spelling of, or the process of placing a billion little dots around the part of an image you want to select - none of these are creative or enjoyable tasks, we already had tools for them, decades before AI. I don't think we need to go back to cave paintings, to be free of AIs influence on our creative work.

Again, I was simply pointing out that, if he used AI to correct misspellings, and improve grammar, then this isn’t true:

@thecanine@twtxt.net right. Spell checkers are not AI. Full grammar checking, and correction? That one I have not seeing, but on AI. So, what I meant was, let the grammar gaffes show; we type as we speak (most of the time). About spelling mistakes, well, let them be corrected as we have done since 1971(?).

@thecanine @movq So I actually agree with you! I think Dustin is taking a bit of a "deep and dark" path here (depression), and there are many parallels to other types of activities that we can all talk to. "AI" or "LLM"(s) here should be no different. Use them, Don't use them. I don't really see how it takes away our creativity or critical thinking.

@prologic@twtxt.net to err is human, to forgive is divine, right? I say let us err, and forgive. My grammatical errors make me me. Misspellings? Well, we need no stinky AI for that!

@prologic@twtxt.net Dustin’s last sentence on that post:
“This post was written entirely by a human, with no assistance from AI. (Other than spell- and grammar-checking.)”
Is it true that it was written “entirely by a human” then? Pfff.
