People insult you for no reason (not talking to or about them, never heard of them before in my life) and you tell them to go fuck their mother and you're the one being labeled as rude. Bitch labeler: I was minding my own fucking business.

It seems that many AI announcements are coming out of China right now because of the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) 2025.

so apparently bsky team pulled out the plc tools from the self-hosting install script so what I did where I changed my pds address from advanced-eschatonics.com (apex of domain) to a subdomain pds.advanced-eschatonics.com was guaranteed to break my shit.

This is how I feel every time people use conspiracy theory as a pejorative. It's basically an authoritarian command to shut down your brain and deny that there is such a thing as intent.

Will you go awry if you use it as ground truth? Yeah! But that's a horrible idea for any information source, not just AI

I tried stuffing the gap between the open windows with something else but it didn't work. Duct tape.

My living room looks like a millionaire live there, except maybe for the duct tape around the windows, but it works! That's what it's for!

Thomas Wood @phytomech.com · Apr 26

Installing the new window AC in the living room and since this is going to be permanent I'm being more anal about it than the robot arm I slapped together last week.

I need new windows really badly. Putting as little torque on these things as I can manage.

Thomas Wood @phytomech.com · Apr 26

Ended up having to use a mallet to get the bolt through the holes of the AC rest I bought too this morning. I was getting a return label for it and just decided to go ape and force this thing to work for me. It worked. AC is sitting on it right now. Wouldn't want to install it without a rest.
