Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

not much of a sneer but a passing chuckle:

Subject: ***SPAM*** Binance Distribution of MyEtherWallet (MEW) Airdrop
my spamtrap addresses get these every now and then. I'm still amazed that I get that type of subject line in tyol 2024 - spammers are usually far more agile
somehow missed this previously, but: Redhat Chatbot Linux!
Today, Red Hat announced a developer preview of Red Hat Enterprise Linux AI (RHEL AI), a foundation model platform to seamlessly develop, test and run best-of-breed, open source Granite generative AI models to power enterprise applications. RHEL AI is based on the InstructLab open source project and combines open source-licensed Granite large language models from IBM Research and InstructLab model alignment tools, based on the LAB (Large-scale Alignment for chatBots) methodology, in an optimized, bootable RHEL image to simplify server deployments.
the "LAB methodology". I wonder if someone broke out the rack and thumbscrews to get a name that tortured
given what I've seen people do to ubuntu-based machines to make their kerases and tensorflows run, combined with redhat's historical trend of extremely bullshit repo pains, I have to wonder what nightmare experience this will result in
Oh great I mentioned in another context that Linux would be the only LLM-free zone and someone with RH connections just laughed pityingly at me.
I asked a RH friend about this and they told me that they just had a breathless all hands about it.

the fuck? any of you happened to have seen this?
I don’t know if I’ll get it on my one droid (both because I’ve turned near every setting and tracker and whatnot off in advance, and because ZA - less likely to get shit like that in advance) but loooool
they’re all just shoving this shit into every damn input control
coming soon: mousegpt?

unfortunately, logitech’s ahead of you on that one, and of course it’s the type of lazy shit you could design in an afternoon, so that means they’re gonna sell you a $50 AI Edition mouse:
Logitech Signature AI Edition mouse: $49 @ Logitech
This is a new version of the Logitech M750 wireless mouse that comes with a new teal button on top specifically intended to be used for the AI Prompt Builder. Of course, you could likely remap it using Logitech's software to do whatever you want.
and I realize the article I linked is essentially a paid undisclosed advertisement, but holy fuck:
I just tested Logitech's new shortcut to ChatGPT — and it's a big time-saver
Get ready to summon ChatGPT with the press of a button
it’s a fucking macro key that opens a popover that pastes text into ChatGPT running in a browser get the fuck over yourself
fuck me this is why I make peripherals from components these days instead of buying keyboards and mice fucking laden with this bullshit. when my current (no-name) vertical mouse kicks the bucket I’m gonna have to see what repairable mouse kits are available to replace it

If you like trackballs, Ploopy is great. They’re open source all the way down, mostly 3D-printable, and actually better than most commercially available trackballs.
They also have a mouse kit, but I can’t speak for that.

One of my kids is a huge fan of Dog Man by Dav Pilkey. This particular page from The Scarlet Shedder really captures the mood today.
