How many characters would I be moderating? I believe in structured moderation, where I am only required to monitor the interactions of the same 32 or so characters in this community. Moderators under this system work together by not monitoring each other's characters. So, that works out to a strict 32:1 character:mod ratio.

The better way to automate menial tasks is not to do them in the first place.

The problem, IMO, is a system that requires applicants to apply to hundreds of jobs.

We'll see how many seconds it takes to retrain the LLMs to adjust to this.

You are literally training LLMs to lie.

You only saw the tabs open on this workspace.

But yeah I don't have hundreds of tabs open. It is incompatible with my workflow. Only the "tabs" directly relevant to whatever is currently happening in the current workspace are kept open.

A link either gets read or it doesn't. If I don't have time to read a link somebody sends me personally, I just tell them that. I don't string anybody along about a link I know I will never read. I can't allow for any link backlog. That leads to . . . dark places.

Also, I don't really use bookmarks either. When I disable search suggestions and use firefox suggest, it leave more space for history. It works so well I don't really need to bookmark anything. Frequently opened sites make their way to the top on their own.

Is this something you care about? If so, why?

It did last time I tried compiling AOSP. At least on the default settings. After I told the build system not to try building in parallel, I got that number down to 8 gigs. Still way too high. There's no way anybody could develop AOSP on a phone.

Those quote marks around the 'wins' are just great.

The same applies to Android OS development. All of it. Android requires a very powerful 1000 USD desktop or laptop computer with 20 gigs of ram and 200 gigs of SSD hard drive space just to compile. This is unacceptable.

Meanwhile, mainline phone linux, like dreemurrs archlinux or postmarketos, can be developed using the same phone it runs on!!!!!!!! All you need is a 20 USD bluetooth keyboard. It is fully awesome. Imagine a world where anybody with just a smartphone and a bluetooth keyboard could be an OS developer!

The exact appearance of the really nice rock is a secret.

Wow, that's awesome! I mean yeah I'm sorry to hear your ink faded in the heat, but at least some good came out of it: that's a whole new mode of failure I didn't know about. Hey, maybe I'll try putting a test page in the oven's warming drawer or something.

Printer ink is useful because each of the C, M, and Y inks is a perfect filter of exactly one colour. C filters red, M filters green, and Y filters blue. Commercial fountain pen inks almost never have this kind of absorptive specificity. They're usually a mix of two or more dyes—a mix that you don't control. Once a dye is in the mix, you can't just take it out. The best you could do is dim all of the other colours, but then you lose saturation.

Here's a specific example. Suppose you have a commercial ink of 5C:1M and you want pure C. You're stuck with that 1M. The best you can do is add 1Y to make 5C:1M:1Y = 4C:1K. You've got a balanced C, but that extra 1K is going to make everything look a little grey. Ew. And that is assuming you can even get pure Y in the first place. No ink manufacturer in their right mind would try to sell a pure Y on purpose. It is very difficult to read. (Except under a pure blue light. It's super awesome actually. This has been an underhanded privacy-invading tactic of the government for some time now. Yellow microdots are printed on all commercial inkjet printouts.)

These inks have also been designed to be mutually equally absorptive of their respective light wavelengths, so an equal ratio of 1C:1:Y makes a perfectly balanced green. These inks has also been designed to stay in solution even when mixed. There are no chemical reactions that could cause precipitate to form, thus totally fucking the pen. Achieving this with commercial fountain pen inks would be difficult, and potentially dangerous.

However.

That's actually not the reason why I started using printer ink. I was in Oulu, I had just run out of fountain pen ink, and all I could find was a print shop. Here is the whole story of my Oulu trip. I did a little research online before actually doing it. Other people have done it before. You just have to make sure to use dye-based in and not pigment-based ink. I was able to confirm from Timi that it was dye-based. And prepare for the possibility of having accidentally turned your pen into an ink firehose because printer ink bleeds like three motherfuckers. It needs at least three parts water to calm it down.

 

I'm going to be living in Jyväskylä for about two months. I will be arriving in October. Anybody here living there right now?

 

Käyn pian Suomessa kahden kaukuuden ajan. Voisinko vuokrata asuntoa tämän ajan?

That's supposed to say

I'm visiting Finland soon for two months. Could I rent an apartment for such an amount of time?
