I suspect the distribution is more lumpy, best case. Worst case, the progeny of the affluent are eating up those sweet gains.

It would be interesting to know what percentage of global inference is spent on projects/problems that would otherwise "wait"/"decay" (if generative ai wasn't a thing). Or maybe the question is: What percentage of global inference is spent on cleaning up and migrating old systems? "New" vs "Old". The decisions I make today can now incorporate what I once termed as "nice to have" when developing a sytem.

I don’t recall where, but for some reason I remember learning that if people start to bump into you too many times, that’s a warning shot to get out. It was something like “bumps per second”.

Re:Malware infiltrates Pidgin messenger's official plugin repository
on Tuesday August 27, 2024 @05:45PM (#41373449)
oh wow. I have become fond of pidgin over the years. There is a slack plugin that makes life a lot better. It seems for plugins, extensions, app stores, and general third-party repositories (pip, npm, crates, etc) risks are increasing. Centralization breeds certain risks that are tough to mitigate. So far, mitigating these risks involve trusting a central steward, cryptographic signing, and contributor reputation.I wonder if we can ever truly mitigate the contributor or steward aspects?

Despite what criticisms you may receive, you put something into existence. You may not have gotten everything right but, it is admirable. Congratulations. At your age, many of your detractors probably didn’t do something so bold. Keep with it.
