re: thinking of creating an L·L·M 

@aschmitz to be clear i really like djot.net but sometimes i am working in limited contexts where running a parser of that complexity is not viable and i need to roll something simple and small

re: thinking of creating an L·L·M 

@aschmitz by “lightweight” here i mean a Markdown competitor, but likely much simpler and more limited, with an eye towards being trivial to parse

@coriander pulse oximeters are pretty cheap and a reasonable way to check if your lungs are getting enough oxygen

if they are, could just be anxiety

future where they’re amazed we made things which lasted decades out of plastic because there are enough microorganisms which consume it now that pretty much any plastic device falls apart within a few years

@coriander right-to-work means workers can't be required to pay union dues as a condition of employment (specifics vary by state i presume)

it's a problem because contract negotiations benefit all workers but only union workers have to pay for it

it encourages people to not join and not pay so that union membership and resources suffer

@coriander do games really need to simulate the exact physics of a horse’s balls? no of course not. if convincing some game director of that will mean they hire an additional person to do horse ball simulations, though, of course you want to create more jobs. and much of tech feels like this, people collectively picking somewhat difficult solutions because they present things that rich people find attractive and consequently justify hiring more people, because everybody wants more jobs and nobody wants layoffs, but then how do you make a union line out of what is essentially playing to rich people's egos so they don't realize they could fire the whole lot of you if they could just learn how to log off
