*squashes your commits*

so can we talk about how fucking racist fedi is whenever china or chinese people come up?

if you see the esp32 ‘backdoor’ news and are wondering why everyone is falling for such a nothingburger, the answer is that most people on here will believe literally any baseless made up “china bad!” bullshit. some of y’all are so committed to your sinophobia that it makes u stupid.

someone needs to take the trash out, cook the food, build the toys. someone needs to hang out at the electric plant and make sure it works good. someone needs to drive your taxi.

stupid fucking industry

“but jacquelines they already have self driving busses right?” these are toys. they are fragile, expensive, inflexible, shitty toys. it’s a toys industry that’s all anyone in the west knows how to make anymore. we’re cooked.

hell we can't even making fucking toys anymore!!!

panic, ostensibly a video game console manufacturer, failed to develop a bluetooth speaker: https://play.date/stereo-dock/

repebble, ostensibly an effort to create and sell a smartwatch, are outsourcing the design and manufacturing of the smartwatch: https://ericmigi.com/blog/february-shenzhen-trip-update

what is this stupid fucking fiction we have that u can generate a million bucks off of being 'an ideas guy' while other people do all the actual work. we're fucking cooked.

it’s cool when people say tangara is what made them actually go and buy stuff from bandcamp etc. praxis moment.

so how are LLMs supposed to take every job if they still can’t reliably do anything

a lot of tech folks have jobs where all they do is send emails and it really shows tbh

can LLMs even send emails reliably?

like they can write email content that’s like. plausible. but like ccing properly? bcc’ing properly? not dropping people from threads randomly for no reason? idk man.

to be clear we get the cynicism of “haha that’s the point they do it all badly for cheap!!” but like. they don’t do anything. they only replace david graebers bullshit jobs. like the only jobs they replace are jobs that u could delete from the economy with no impact except unemployment. that includes u, tech worker on 200k whose job is a/b testing the text on a button

tangara

@markku https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CE_marking#%22China_Export%22

"In 2008, a logo very similar to CE marking was alleged to exist and to stand for China Export because some Chinese manufacturers apply it to their products.[22] However, the European Commission says that this is a misconception.[20]"

it's just sinophobia dont fall for it

@ailurux the real question is 'tangara slim' funnier than 'pocket tangara'

hey fedi, does anyone know when the narwhal bacons?

oh 250 more tangaras shipped since friday apparently. neat!
