Stop saying “artificial intelligence”. (And “neural networks” too.)

Be more specific. Say “reinforcement learning”. Say “generative modelling”. Say “Bayesian filtering”. Say “statistical prediction”.

These are incredibly useful tools that have nothing to do with “intelligence”.

And say “model trained on plagiarised data”.

Say “bullshit generator”.

Say “internet regurgitator”.

These are also nothing to do with intelligence, but they have the added bonus of being useless, too.

I my continued quest to get stickers into loving homes and redistribute my sticker surplus, I'm going to post some individual ones:

Det slog mig precis att Linuxkompis GoToSocial-instans firar 2 år den här månaden. 🎂

Gomorron! Tänkte prova dethära Tick Tock som alla pratar om.

Had the second part of basic #electronics with my class today. A few more circuits to practice on and introduced capacitors as well.

Whomever wanted also had the opportunity to try their hand at #soldering. Several kids had never tried before and gave it a go with some simple circuits.

One kid really took to it and tried their hand at some relatively complicated circuits, like an LED flip-flop.

Sometimes it's fun to be a #teacher...

Biting off the next mouthful of Robben Ford's brilliant "White Rock Beer" 🎸 solo to the best of my feeble abilities 😁 this piece is SO MUCH FUN to play 🤩

In this one I am ramble over the past 14 years of systemd, and the next.

Enjoy!

"Every week brings a new chorus of voices demanding that [insert tech giant] must “do better” [...] We’ve become digital peasants, petitioning various lords and kings to please, please fix the internet for us."

Yes, maybe you don't like life outside of #youtube . But if you only publish there, you've become a digital peasant subject to the whims of your lord.

Youtube is not my friend, so if you stay confined there, I won't watch you.

Hej!
Mitt första inlägg på den här siten. Testing testing!

I'm inspired by other players too but my Gawd, Robben Ford is just such a goddamn treasure 🎸🤩 it's one thing to pick up the notes, another entirely to try to emulate his phrasing & timing... 🤯

@mntmn assembly was easy, on first boot we were disappointed by a lot of display artifacts - turns out I had not gotten the connection to the display panel quite good enough. Once we fixed that everything works. This thing is super pretty! Thanks!
