Tim Bray18h agoBTW I think Spencer Nelson just fixed Quamina's /v2 problem. Now I'll look at what you did (somehow I missed this post back in February)

Tim Bray2d agoI said "no" but then remembered having seen one in a past life. It was kind of hard to understand and I was left with the impression that it was *really important* to know who paid for the construction of the inventory.
Not that I’m cynical or anything.

Tim Bray2d agoWhat did you migrate to? The thought of migrating my 27K photos is horrifying but I’ve also about had it with Adobe.

Tim Bray2d agoIt was *so* expat. There was even the Beirut Softball League, teams included the AUB faculty, AUB students, local American High School, US Marines at the embassy, Japanese community, and "The Pilgrims", all the missionaries and other official Christians.

Tim Bray2d agoI was an expat for 11 years, our family lived in Lebanon, my Dad was a professor at the American University of Beirut. I think the defining characteristic is that we, and all of Lebanon's tens of thousands of other expats, knew that one day we'd pull up stakes and head home. We were not really members of Lebanese society.

Tim Bray3d agoI’ve been worrying that the AI bubble-pop will wreck the world economy, but hey there, quite likely War Oil Chaos and sketchy Private-Credit shenanigans will get there first.
Ha ha fucking ha.

This was posted 4 months ago, i.e. forever in LLM time. I would really like to see a fully-worked through analysis of the actual GHG cost of #GenAI in general and for coding applications specifically. Including, obviously, training, data centre infrastructure, silicon fabrication, etc.
The reason: I have trouble reconciling these numbers with the insane volumes of investment capital going into the space.

Tim Bray4d agoI idly wonder if the fact that Charlie has a huge Java-head audience (and of course a big Ruby one too), while I live almost entirely in Go these days, might explain part of the difference in our experience as to interaction quality on X vs elsewhere.
