Ooops the stars aligned (or misaligned) and I'm opening commissions for custom ceramics! Would you like a loaf tray of your pet? A babushcat? For me to remake a piece I made in the past that you missed out on? Or do you have a different idea? Email me and we can discuss it!

a bunch of ceramic plates on a dark green background - most are shaped like cats, curled up or loafing, but there's also a fox and an owl. they're all in tones of orange, brown and greens

a bunch of ceramic plates on a light blue background. Most is shaped liek cats - loafing, curled up or cat faces but there's also a fox and a small dish with a tiger. They're all in tones of blue and white.

UNRWA has enough food outside #Gaza to supply people there for 3 months, amid desperate need. Our teams stand ready to deliver it.

But despite the #ceasefire, the Israeli Authorities’ block on UNRWA bringing any supplies into Gaza still continues.

Let us get aid into Gaza at the full scale needed.

Curieusement, l’information révélant que les corps de certains Palestiniens restitués par Israël avaient les mains liées et présentaient des signes de tortures est méthodiquement passée sous silence.

Face à la lenteur de la restitution des corps des otages par le Hamas, Israël menace d’une reprise de la guerre

It chose so badly.

Article 2, EU-Israel trade treaty:

Relations between the Parties, as well as all the provisions of the Agreement itself, shall be based on respect for human rights and democratic principles, which guides their internal and international policy and constitutes an essential element of this Agreement.

Greta was stripped and had soldiers film themselves with her while Israel's far-right minister Ben-Gvir screamed at her. Absolutely degrading sexual abuse and the Swedish foreign minister's reaction is essentially "she asked for it".

Philip O'Connor @philipoconnor.bsky.social · 1d

Aftonbladet's interview with Greta Thunberg is now available in English - it raises many serious questions, not least about the Swedish govt. effectively abandoning its citizens to torture because it doesn't agree with their politics. A thundering disgrace.

US taxpayers forked about $20 billion to, the pro-Israel / pro-Trump, President Javier Milei of Argentina who then performed a rock concert advertising and celebrating the publishing of his new book.

Meanwhile the average Argentinian is living in extreme poverty. 🧵

Le commerce des œufs sous tension, en raison de la forte demande et du surstockage

Protéine bon marché, l’œuf a la cote auprès des consommateurs. Si aucune pénurie ne menace, le léger déséquilibre entre offre et demande crée des phénomènes de rupture ponctuelle et chamboule un marché où la part des œufs bio a dépassé celle des œufs de poules en cage.

Maintenant, je dois compiler une lib c++ pour l'integrer dans cet exe, et dans un autre projet connexe. Compilé en lib statique; veulent une dll, ça sent fort la douleur dans le fondement.

Cathulhu (Cathy Lou if you work at Starbucks) @frankexchange.bsky.social · 12d

Ayé, c'est tout compilé avec la lib C qui me cassait les gonades. TIL un peu de Fortran; assez pour écrire le module "glue" qui manquait.

(Je connais pas spécialement le C non plus, même si j'ai un Kernighan and Ritchie chez moi. On rigole bien quand même)

Cathulhu (Cathy Lou if you work at Starbucks) @frankexchange.bsky.social · 13d

Update: hier j'ai réussi à compiler des exe fonctionnels. Yay!

Aujourd'hui, j'ai essayé de rajouter et linker une lib nécessaire, en C, appelée depuis du Fortran; ça m'a occupé l'aprem', et no joy le linker me chie dessus.
Pas yay.
Il est >21h et je relance une compil' en essayant un autre truc.

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free.

When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

Dirty secret of these tools:

If they charge by the query, and they encourage users to code by trial and error... there's a fairly obvious disincentive to getting things right the first (or even twentieth) time.

Jesus christ. AI coding platform Augment code had to jack up prices because 22.5% of their users were spending 20x of what they paid, and even after raising the prices, they're still running at a loss.
reddit.com/r/AugmentCod...

A handful of users abused the system so all are getting punished.

This isn't about a few high-usage users. The reality is that approximately 22.5% of our users are consuming 20x what they're currently paying us. This isn't sustainable for us to continue delivering the quality service you expect. We have built some very powerful tools and we don’t want to impose artificial limits on what’s possible, but we do need to be able to charge in proportion to the use customers are getting from our platform. Developers are always going to push their tools to their limits, and we encourage that — and we need to be able to charge for it appropriately, too.

You only care about professional developers.

Our core focus is on building the best AI coding agent for professional software engineers and their teams. If people outside of that group are finding value with Augment, they are very welcome to use the product, but we’re not prioritizing features or solutions that non-developers might need, and frankly, there are plenty of vibe coding/low code/no code solutions available on the market that will better serve those customers.

You are just squeezing money out of us at 20x margin.

20x margin sounds great, but isn’t the reality for AI tools: the vast majority are running at a loss, including us, while we work to build sustainable, long-term businesses.
