    Casual @cwebber and @glyph name-drops? In *my* Chris Person Aftermath blog? It’s more likely than you think (due to *gestures broadly*, unfortunately). https://aftermath.site/ai-slop-hobbies-in-software-emulation/

    RE: https://neuromatch.social/@jonny/117510139272497507 Excited for when they reach for the “100x price increase” dial and I get to again contemplate the full universe of elegant and efficient and thoughtful information retrieval instead of “Did You Try Shoving It In An LLM?” being the only discussion people will have.

    #AskFedi How do people manage images on their static sites? My blog contents are Git-backed and generated with 11ty, deployed on a server I can SSH into. If I want to start adding photos, where do I put those? Surely I don’t commit them directly to the repo, right? Do I host them somewhere and pull them in dynamically on build? Do I manually put a folder on the web server and dump some images in it, then write my img tags so that they correctly (🤞🏻) reference those? Do I figure out how Git LFS...

    FYI, there’s just a couple days left in Phoenix’s SRP election! This is what the 10 million Turning Point USA signs plastered all over the valley are about. Those signs tell you which candidates are fascist dirtbags who want to kill your neighbors for data center money, but who should you vote *for*? Behold! The janky low-budget website of the clean energy folks who need your votes! https://www.srpcleanenergy.org/ #AZ #Arizona #AzPol #Phoenix #PhoenixAZ #vote #SRP #srpelection (PS!! It’s too la...

    Wild that Kagi’s head of ML having a relatively low-hype take on LLMs gets them points from me, but that’s the world we’re in right now I guess. (Maybe Mozilla could take some notes?) https://blog.kagi.com/llms
