@halcy A Markov chatbot in my IRC channel has once said, "I know nothing. I can only process files."

so we have a student who we asked to train a VAE to generate memes. he was showing us his newest model, which has problems with mode collapse, and was only outputting one thing over and over again (I swear I am not making this up):

"one does not simply make memes"

They say "With great power comes great responsibility", but let's be realistic here.

With great power comes a whole buttload of admin work.

Remember people! Tomorrow is thereisitisonthe19thofnovember day.

Periodic reminder to treat open source maintainers with the respect you'd like to receive yourself. Found a bug, have a feature idea, want to suggest an improvement? Awesome.

@denikombucha @kavbojka This is why, although I always use lab safety when running my own experiments, I volunteer to be a test subject in lots of studies at the nearby university.

I trust vaccines because of doctors. The medical community. Friends who do medical research or work within that field.

Not because of "what I read online". It's a sensible opinion to distrust everything, even something basic like sleeping, but to go from there to distrusting all experts based on hear-say (and it is hear-say) isn't sensible.

The only reasonable reaction to DST.

@thomasfuchs every time you piss him off he invents a new cable type

@freakazoid
a lot of my selfhosting choices have been based on similar logic.

so much of it is a least-broken compromise though.

, python3 is next on my programming language sorta-bucketlist, once I finish getting functional competancy with https://openeuphoria.org/

Thoughts on (other) decent languages for application-layer software? I hear good things about Rust, but also have heard good things about Go.

For those that managed early NNTP and IRC services, what mistakes are we repeating in the fediverse?
