@tomjennings @MLE_online @mitten https://www.telnetbbsguide.com/There might be "some" rose-tinted glasses syndrome here, but I still frequent a handful of early-00 style forums/communities and the experience I have there is substantially different from the phone bill crushing ones of BBSes.The BBSes I both frequented (2:200) and one-off-visited was more of stepping into someone's disorganised computing living room - chaotic yet personal.To me, gained knowledge and discussion was a possible side effect (and often the library was .. just better for that) -- it was the path of exploration, discovery and interrupts. Interactive fiction that bit back.From a phone number graffiti on a pole next to the computer shop; the ATDT anticipation; the "oh f-ck" when a groggy and angry human voice picked up on the other end at 2AM; the ANSI human skull with a login prompt in the mouth; grabbing some .diz and getting another number that way; the jump scare from the sysop breaking into chat.

@atro "The tangent was justified by some long rant about feature archetypes and a pilgrimage in search for the answer to the existential question `if a text editor is predestined to eventually grow a shell, and a shell is predestined to become a text editor, will they end up in the same place?`"

@troed I went through the same transition with a similar background, daily monkeytype sessions for 30 minutes - back to 120wpm after a few weeks (model 100 and a glove80).Now mentally preparing to do it all over again but with a chorded handmount (clawtype).

@david_chisnall @bill88t https://www.divergent-desktop.org/blog/2020/10/29/improving-x/ I had a 'less neighbourly' one queued up and PoCed ever since, as there is another middle ground to be had. In the spirit of choosing both armies and battles wisely - it's not the fight to fight. "Nie mój cyrk, nie moje małpy"

I have been idling around Berlin for a few days to mentally prepare for a few things on the horizon. Among my regular spots is the computerspiel museum for that slightly awkward feeling when most of the exhibits are things you lived through. Some things still bring out whatever smile I can muster these days - like the child room safe spaces .. it is not 'much' and that is kind of the point...

@andrewrk Ran into that yesterday. ' If you can't act like a grown up you get to sit around the test-sleep-spin table'.

After being slapped by the n:th "but Claudette 4.5.7-o9 totally changed the game it is different now!" "just prompt better!" claim this week I am increasingly getting the feeling that the real advancement we are bearing witness to is a "Baltimore Stockbroker" on steroids at an unprecedented scale.

@datarama Each model version/name bump is a new "scammer". The LLM whisperers all have their set of key tests (what is six times six etc.),Pass them above some threshold for confidence in the quality of predictions enough to pay to join the religion and the usual set of cognitive biases come into play.With that the punditry blog posts, forum comment marketing, ranging from "outright zealot", "pretend scepticism to appear more grounded", "you are holding it wrong gaslighting" etc. and the particular scam grows in momentum.

After plowing through substantial amounts of pain this little muppet seems to have mostly recovered from her herniated disc. She can already smell the steak waiting for her upcoming 6th birthday a few days from now.

@david_chisnall I think the phenomenon is called a sympathetic pregnancy.

@whitequark the specific model wasn't available at my location but there seem to be several brandings of the same thing. Got this and very happy with it.

@amy then in some near future in the dark of night I will whisper sweet nothings in your ear to sway you into porting it to an arcan-a12-web appl.
