@SecureOwl ... "Please accept these changes to continue freezing your food." 🤷

@regehr The core tenet of computer science: when in doubt, add another layer of indirection 🤷

Oh look, my quaint little hometown of Kempten in southern Bavaria has made it into international headlines!
Because a city employee embezzled 1 million Euros.
In coins. 
From parking meters. 
Words fail me 😵
(A 2 Euro coin weighs about 8 grams, so the whole loot must have been at least 4 metric tons overall. Impressive.)

@mntmn ... ~vibing~ at approx 100 MHz?

@rebane2001 ... while simultaneously including three different versions of jQuery 🤷

@dotstdy @regehr @datarama @rygorous you might be on to something here: LLMs let those guys cosplay as a CEO. "Look how my willing code monkeys are building my grand visions!"

@rygorous @regehr I don't get this sort of huge un-understandable LLM patch. Why do people do that, fame? Certainly not working for this dude here. 🙄

@q3k @gigabecquerel hah, I have the exact same "thumbs up in front of expensive equipment I just fixed" picture, just with an entirely unrelated sort of device 😁

@Myphatself I'm using Linux (well ahkshually, etc. etc.) but the 7 or so different browser engines I have inadvertently running at any given moment eat up a metric fuckton of memory, no matter which operating system... 🙄

@jbigham @andresmh we have perfectly good string theory papers at home: https://dl.acm.org/action/doSearch?AllField=String&expand=all&ConceptID=119596

@coreyspowell This reminded me of... https://aus.social/@Unixbigot/115538898214379306

Hrm. Guess I should count myself lucky that my new work laptop came with 32 GB of RAM, no questions asked. I'm hoping our IT guy still has all his kidneys 😬

@SwiftOnSecurity buuuut... planes don't have fur? 🤔[confused]

@stux Hah, the Toi Toi porta-potty is a nice touch 👍 (you definitely need to hide a zombie in there).

@spaf Me too! 🧌

@regehr allow me to quote my wife: "The Knight makes folks polite."

@mjg59 Beautiful. 👌 Thanks for sharing!

@mhoye Is this supposed to be referring to power consumption? Or am I trying to see intelligence where there is none (just like with LLMs)?

@cstross @mhoye @mwl according to the Kickstarter page, it's a standard Bluetooth HID device which doesn't need any drivers (this makes sense, because I'm strongly guessing they use the Nordic nRF52 series SOC, and it would be harder to build a proprietary protocol than just go with the standard HID example).
I assume the desktop app is mostly doing custom gesture recognition based on the raw data?
