@mattly the penalty for being right

@mattly evergreen

@inthehands I don't want to give Vance all that much credit, when the really critical work was done over the course of years by Hungarians. But, I do love that he was able to pop over and cover himself in part of the shame, right at the end

@mattly they should not be this effective, it must be some dark suburban magic

@mattly It's certainly not the first time I've had a stick of ram go bad. It's just the first time the pc market has been *like this*

Pricing out replacements, I could build a desktop for $1800ish, and there is some appeal in that. And that's assuming I can find and reuse one of the m.2 drives I have floating around. Or, I could switch to a thinkpad p14 for $2200ish.

Either option is like 30% more expensive than it should be

@inthehands @hrefna I'm sure we could learn a lot more from hypercard. We should start with the recognition that we did actually learn a great deal from hypercard. It was an educational toy, it let people experiment with hypertext and simple logic at a time when hardly anyone knew what those things were.

It's not so different than Legos.

@inthehands @hrefna
The thing is, there are reasons we don't build apps in hypercard today. or even websites. It's tailored pretty specifically at small, personal, experimental usage. Which is great, we need that kind of thing.

But we also need languages and frameworks and etc that are tailored toward big, enduring, public usage. Because we have lots of big, enduring, public services.

One can't be the other. This is, as usual, a social problem masquerading as a tech problem. We don't need more perfect frameworks. We need to socially validate that those small, personal, temporary things are good and valuable as they are. That there are thing which are made worse by trying to make them universal. And that those small, personal, temporary things should be built with the appropriate tools for that goal.

@inthehands No, you're getting it. The correct way to use docker in production is: don't.

Docker is a reasonably useful dev tool. Docker compose, even more so. But it's wildly unsuited to production usage. If you want just a few containers on a relatively small and fixed number of hosts, podman or just containerd are better. If you want a lot of containers on a changing number of hosts, that's why people use k8s.

@mattly I mean, yes. But still.

Maybe what I don't understand is why everyone else goes along with it.

@dalias Not all the time. But if it's research conducted and published by the in-house research team of Anthropic? Yeah, probably

@dalias Hoestly, yes. I suspect the purpose of this paper is to reinforce that production is a correct and necessary factor to consider when making decisions about AI.

And secondarily, I suspect it's establishing justification for blaming workers for undesirable outcomes; it's our fault for choosing to learn badly.

@inthehands Right, it's not universally the case. There are bad instructors and bad instructional contexts.

@mattly I have! It was a giant pain in the butt. Although that was like 90% my own fault.

The short version is https://www.tubearchivist.com/ downloading into a shared volume with jellyfin, and then https://github.com/tubearchivist/tubearchivist-jf-plugin to let JF use TA as a metadata provider.

(The hard part was container networking)

In this setup, YT channels become tv series, and every year is a new season. It seems like playlists could be seasons, instead, but 🤷♀️

@inthehands ah, i see. They should automate it all the way. That would work better, if it worked.

@inthehands Well, it actually does seem bad if computers are manufacturing a lot of anger and defensiveness over things people didn't actually say.

@inthehands I'm not convinced it isn't

@skinnylatte incredible

@inthehands Kyle Rittenhouse was the first time I recognized this was happening

@mattly At the very best, it's as though someone was going "but medical x-rays!" in 1925 as a defense of the corporations rushing to force radium into everyone's butter and toothpaste and every other household product.
