Aww yiss solar power! 🌞 Always dreamed of having a solar array on a home as a kid.. and I was fortunate enough to realize that dream (both home ownership, and the solar part). And solar is far *far* ahead of all predicted schedules on lower pricing to be available to all, worldwide. Wish I could say something similarly optimistic about home ownership here, but I can't.

I’m enjoying this relatively simple, portable triple screen travel setup of a solid OLED Chromebook and the asus fold out double OLED screen, with only two usb-c cables (it can drive both panels independently with one cable) and a single dual port compact usb-c GaN charger. I only need the third cable plugged in when the Chromebook runs low and that Kompanio chipset is Apple M2 level quality!

Ryan knocking it out of the park, as usual:
> "My most reasonable prediction about all of this is that an AI crash will play out similarly. Investing in an AI model will probably sound as silly as stockpiling domain names. Even if many of the big AI companies of the moment might implode and the term “AI” might even be so poisoned that it ends up being called something else, like “machine learning.” The tech, though, is probably here to stay. It may, like the humble website 25 years ago, even become more central to our daily lives, depending on what people end up doing with open source models, in particular. Before you yell at me, I’m not saying this because it’s what I want to happen, merely that there’s historical precedent. File types, protocols, algorithms, specific features, they all cause a gold rush before just being another thing anyone can add to their particular stack."
I agree with this, except I think it'll be less traumatic than the dotcom boom.. the utility of LLMs is clearly already here, just wildly oversold (and mostly in the pro models, because the free models just suuuuck every single time I try them).

"If you have a team that is all pissed off and hates each other, they’re going to write terrible code. I don’t care how talented they are, if they’re mad at each other, pissed off, unhappy, it’s just going to be bad. That was the key insight of Code Complete for me: **programming is the art of dealing with people.** You think of programming as the art of dealing with the computer, but the computer is pretty much this dumb, dumb machine. It’s easy to deal with the computer. For the most part, what’s difficult is dealing with other people, your team, your manager, your project, and the people who pay you money for the project. That’s the really difficult part and that’s the part that the book really delves into. It does talk about code, but it spends a lot of time talking about personal character and the emotions of the people on your team and how to have a sustainable project that’s not breaking the people working on it. I still love those topics. Those are timeless topics, and that’s why it’s such a great book. That’s why it doesn’t ever really get out of date, because people aren’t going to change for the next ten thousand years, not in that way. In a hundred years we’ll be using radically different tooling, but people will still be pissed off at each other. I’ll tell you that with one hundred percent certainty." excerpt from my section of https://wfsd.com/

https://www.pastemagazine.com/media/great-job-internet/great-job-internet-infinite-jeffs "... the gatekeepers at Kindle Direct Publishing rejected the book due to “low content,” but after appealing the ruling and arguing for the “semantic substance of Infinite Jeffs,” the book qualified as “Literary Fiction,” despite only including one word. “I don’t feel good about publishing on Amazon,” he writes, “but it was by far the cheapest way to print even one custom book, and I’d already spent too much time and money on this incredibly dumb bit.” Still, you get what you pay for: A book filled with the word “Jeff.”"

> I’ve been saying for a long time that decentralization is the way to go. We can and should have sane centralized services, of course, but it’s imperative that we also build decentralized services which empower users and give them control, rather than treating them like digital sharecroppers. That’s what our Discourse project is all about. I propose collective ownership of the content and the communities we build online. Yeah, it’s more work, it’s not “free” (sorry not sorry), but I have some uncomfortable news for you: those so-called “free” services aren’t really free.
