evan's thoughts


@jdan.me i expect ferry insta stories

@evan.exposed yeah this shit happened to me when i was scratching cal and i asked it

@evanrodgers.bsky.social ...3? 4?

@ryanhatesthis.bsky.social Just confirmed this with my source: They were told the entirety of cdc.gov is going down imminently and to backup what they need.

@evan.exposed FUCK

@evan.exposed if i had to guess its an issue with the ultra fusion / bridging tech and they had to redesign what the > max chips look like

@evan.exposed oh shoot i didn’t know it had one! that might actually be the thing prompting me to upgrade eventually…

@evan.exposed i tried a kindle scribe before a remarkable and it was a laughably poor experience, but im willing to give it another shot if they fixed like 80% of the experience. if there's even a single book i cant write on its going back to the fulfillment center

@evan.exposed grabbing something that i hopefully dont need to upgrade for the next 6 years

@evan.exposed to an extent. my gaming pc is now mostly running linux / i use it as a dev box, so this is useful for other things too. my 2070 with its low vram doesnt cut it anymore

@evan.exposed the answer is my first and biggest crush in the world, jadzia dax

@aoihana.bsky.social ideation

@edzitron.com a funny thing i remember is that like in 2023 discord went down when openai did becaue it turns out they were using gpt3.5 to assign an emoji to each channel name. its easy to think of the prompt! i wrote it myself in a minute, worked well, and cheap as hell to run so why build it yourself

@edzitron.com yeah a good point someone brought up that changed my view on these models / energy usage / efficiency is Jevons paradox. TLDR these things get more efficient / cheaper and devs will use them for even more things, esp because it means they can just plug and play BS en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_...

@evan.exposed nothing relevant to your last post though LOL

@evan.exposed speaking of: thank u

@evan.exposed LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO

@ocasio-cortez.house.gov You do NOT have to speak to ICE without a JUDICIAL warrant. If they attempt to enter your home or your workplace, ask for a warrant. Sometimes they will try to use other, non qualifying paperwork. They need a warrant.

@ladyemily.nebula.tv If that doesn’t work, Seattle is always the next best thing. We’ve got community and safety here, and are genuinely very lucky / fortunate

@evan.exposed find it hard to believe people cant get rid of fb because of marketplace when this exists and its better

@aspekt.gg congrats!! you’ve been rocking the activity rings

@stephank.bsky.social in my own writing i’ve never used it though, because i feel like even as an editor it somewhat gets rid of my voice etc. better for engineering than creative stuff

@stephank.bsky.social i think in part this is due to most people trying it out at launch / bouncing. tbh i felt that way too up until gpt4 came out / I started using it regularly. it’s bad for some things but great for others and helped me in my work a bit. more like a tool than a crutch

@junlper.beer the chinese government generally isnt harassing random U.S. citizens on U.S. soil, but if you're a big enough threat to them (public figure( they can leak info to the civ agencies here, which can target you. ultimately if you are marginalized / at risk, do not trust anyone with personal data

@junlper.beer did you read the whole convo where I specified i meant the chinese government?
