These are rather harmless creatures to us. They hang out in bogs and fens afaik eating small things in the water. If you’re standing among them, you’re probably in wellies already and quite safe

The fabric of society and basic belief in science has been made a villain to fascist rubes.

There are some regrettable exceptions

We must be the good kind of awkward. My kid got an unreasonable amount of candy knocking on doors.

I honestly don’t think so, bestie. Monkey’s not gonna press the keys randomly at all. Somewhere in the recesses of his monkey neurons he’ll have made implicit connections between letters and letter combinations. This is the infinite typewriter monkey, not some two-bit organ grinder’s bitch. This monkey has been places, probably been through hell getting to this position in life. Seen wars, been across the globe, and now he’s the star of a famous thought experiment. He loves lowercase t because he’s a devout Christian after having been rescued by that missionary, and being a monkey he doesn’t quite grasp the distinction. Wanna see what he wrote? tttt hhdfyb my ik t tkkoptt aa aaaa Bernardo : Who’s there? tt ttt eeertyuhjk t

You call that random?

I don’t think it works honestly. You’d need a monkey with a lasting and dutiful commitment to true randomness to ever get anything but a finite number of button mashing variations. Monkeys like that don’t come cheaply.

I’m never going to be a MK expert or anything, but I like them and wanted a reasonably decent one. After a lot of research I ended up trying my luck with a Glorious GMMK 2, kailh box white switches, and doubleshot pudding key caps all in white. I later modded it with a sheet of PE foam between the PCB and the switches, and now it sounds delightful. I’m happy enough with it that, unless I decide to change the switches or try a denser foam, I might already be at my “endgame” keyboard. It does have LEDs, but if you get normal key caps it’ll just look backlit, you can control how they shine anyway though. Dunno your budget, but that’s what got me in and out of a potentially very expensive hobby for under £150.

Saved for when I get my home server back up and running. This sounds way better than keeping everything on an external SSD.

I’m a fucking albatross, I know… Or whatever that sailor’s curse bird is I forget. A crested wank.

My advice is to be less like me

It seems to be working for other people

Just got into using Syncthing for my home network, was thinking I should add it to my phone. Makes sense it dies the instant I consider it

Note to self: it’s not funny, okay

One time I exposed deep cracks in my calculator’s ability to write words with upside down numbers. I only ever managed to write BOOBS and hELLhOLE.

LLMs aren’t reasoning. They can do some stuff okay, but they aren’t thinking. Maybe if you had hundreds of them with unique training data all voting on proposals you could get something along the lines of a kind of recognition, but at that point you might as well just simulate cortical columns and try to do Jeff Hawkins’ idea.

I only really come here to say such things. Megustalations

Once I quaffed a queef, inhaled a clunge that had beefed, I just belched for relief and resumed the great feat

Without wanting to ruffle anyone’s feathers, I will submit queef, which would be worth a chuckle even if it held no meaning

Ads can not be made less useful to me in their present state, and as it is they are far overvalued as an industry.

Yeah nah, but a small remark about dropping the streaming service for doing something bad could be reasonable
