7·11 days agodid you have a padded lunch pail to carry it in? that would’ve been such a sight. a little bento server.
photoprism is good. i ran it for a few years before running both immich and photoprism side by side, and eventually shut down photoprism and moved entirely over to immich. i’d never give anybody flak for using photoprism, but for people starting from scratch i’d strongly recommend immich.
How about they stop building the torment nexus?
Arm9, “The CPU Architecture for the Future of AI”
Right but just think of all the shareholder value it provides! OK, mostly not real shareholder value, but the potential!
Clickbait headline. The tool is https://deflock.org/
Did you miss the “Yet their profits and power look about as secure as ever” bit?
yeah, that website is a treasure trove of amazing interactive mechanical demos.
This is definitely not new. Folks I worked with in SF went to parties where there were tech-knowledable escorts back around ~2010.
If they have a solid product and do not want to make “energy drinks and lunchables”, the best financial move would be to optimize it. Find ways to make it smaller, lighter, and most importantly, reduce costs.
But if I were in charge, I’d seriously think about trying to eat DJI’s drone lunch now that there are FAA rules around foreign drone companies. GoPro is headquartered in San Mateo. Drone design is well known enough that there aren’t any hard problems in the way of introducing a decent DJI mini replacement. There may be patents or other non-technical stuff in the way though. But if they could get in on that, it could be immensely lucrative, especially if they can get government contracts.

Right, and I’m not saying that playing video games is bad. I’m saying that addiction is bad, and that AI can be addictive, and can distort your sense of value so you think something is good for you when actually it is bad.
Fun, joy, and pleasure are indeed things we should be chasing in life. A lot of us lose sight of that while working on our careers.
I use many of these tools, but I didn’t need them. I can’t afford to maintain any of them
That’s it. He doesn’t need them. But in order to maintain them, he’ll use up even more of his time, and probably spend a lot more on AI to do the maintenance for him. In the end, what is the cost, and what is he getting out of it?
I think for a lot of people, AI is like so many addictive video games. They take our attention and make us feel like we’re getting something out of the interaction. Each prompt is like doing a run in Sling Kong or Jetpack Joyride. Didn’t go well? Try again. And in the end we’ve wasted a lot of time on something that has little to no value, that nobody else is going to use, and the net result is a lot of wasted time with very little to show for it. We have a high score, we have some collectibles, and we’re no better off than we were when we started.
I think one answer to this is more focus on the problem, and less velocity. Velocity is not helpful if you’re not pointed in the right direction, and even if you are pointed in the right direction it’s not useful if you overshoot your destination.
Today I finished a book that I picked a while back from a Little Free Library.
You say data, I say data
You say gif, I say gif
Data, data, gif, gif
Let’s call the whole thing off
As they say, “no rest for the wicked.”
“Complexity is the enemy” is a great quote. Definitely keeping that in my pocket for a future design doc review.
