@ironchamber yeah i just haven't been over to that area in probably a year.

@ironchamber haven't figured that out yet. without the manor, i have no idea where to park.

@ironchamber did you get yer GWAR tix?

@ironchamber yes and yes. we gwarin', homie?

@ironchamber it seemed like a good idea at the time... 🤷♂️

@ironchamber i never thought i'd say it but i'm happy to not be using rails these days. i do miss ruby but not rails.

@ironchamber yeah, wrap this dude in an OCI container, update the underlying servers, run it probably with podman, add an updated external database, and let it rot.

biggest challenge right now is circular system library dependencies. i'd almost rather deal with this than another rails upgrade, though.

@ironchamber thankfully it's being put on life support.

@ironchamber yeppers. you've touched this codebase. it ain't been upgraded in a hot minute.

time to lay into some contract work that i neglected while i was sick. i'm doing my damnedest to containerize a legacy application and boy is it an uphill fight.

@ironchamber yep. I think it's my second battle with it. The first was before it was in the news fully and there were no tests. I had been at a work gathering in Berkeley and two people brought it from black hat.

Everything tastes like fennel and/or smells like baby powder. I guess I got lucky with that symptom because I read about a lot of people getting rotten meat smell/taste instead. There's some ten dollar word for it that I can't spell but whatever. What a bizarre virus.

Vacation time. Had some complications and couldn't go to Vegas to compete so I'll be spending some extra time visiting the other gyms, hanging out with family, reading, and maybe even some time at the shooting range. Finally at a point in life where I've learned how to appreciate leisure once in a while.

@kevie well i'm still on the coffee but have a pint for me! cheers!

If there's anything I've ever been good at in life it's pedaling a bicycle like a cracked out squirrel. Just outpaced the stationary at the gym. Always a good feeling. Obviously a better feeling on two wheels but time and weather were a barrier today.

@ironchamber hence the glut of domain specific models, I suppose.

Yes ai bad, it's not ai it's llm blah blah whatever.

Anyway, serious question: what happens when ai consumes ai content? Say for example ai in a search engine parses articles generated by ai. Does it produce some kind of poor quality information loop or is it a solved problem because the models are already trained?

@evan oddly, I figured it would be you or the w3c
