  • That’s a very poetic way of looking at the way our data on these forms will be processed and ingested by LLMs in the coming years. I have been considering cloning my own voice and experimenting with the multitude of use cases that can provide.

    All the developed literature as well as entirely documented human lives… Readily available with numerical recipes for their processing and integration into whatever societal infrastructure comes out of where we’re headed right now.

    It was strange for me to come to terms with that. The crowd that Lemmy fosters is such a different subset than the general population. Sometimes I wonder what growing up online will do to people down the line from us.

    It’s heart rending to hear what you’re going through, OP. I’m sure your family will sincerely cherish what you write. I also agree with others who have mentioned to add stipulations on how you want your thoughts to be used. Not to speak for you, but I wouldn’t want my likelihood desecrated in some manufactured effigy long after my death.

    Not to say I didn’t spend a fair chunk of my own life online, but with the advancements in materials and manufacturing methods, I wonder what storage devices and technologies will become sarcophagi for our archived lives…

    Wishing you wonders in your last moments, OP.


  • Unfortunately I don’t think completely automating my resume is going to happen. It’s just a dream :( I’ve finally found something that got the attention of an employer though, so hopefully my job search will be over soon.

    I’m still itching to do something with NLP/LLMs, but I’ll have to define the problem more rigorously rather than throw out nebulous desires. Thanks for the response!







  • I’ve been thinking about trying Kbin. I’d love to see how the Linux and technology communities are over there. I can’t even visit Reddit anymore with how enshittified it became. It seems like there are so many more bots, the quality of the conversation has definitely dropped since the API pricing explosion.

    I got red-pilled into F(L)OSS stuff when I read about what was being done to developers. I only had ever used the default proprietary app because I somehow didn’t know that alternatives existed. I guess my phone was just for memes and for mindless entertainment then I realized I needed to use SSH and a bash terminal. I might have attached a meme by accident. It is infinitely buffering so I think we’ll find out when I post this.


  • I recall hearing something about strain on one side of the battery increasing if you only recharge it wirelessly, but I’m not sure how correct that is. I’ve been hesitant to use a wireless charger for awhile because of that.

    Have you found that phones in the past were getting clogged, scratched or mangled somehow from the cable insertion? I had a Samsung A50 lose its entire screen as it gradually turned purple over the course of 2 weeks. One morning the whole screen turned purple and then pixel death propagated like concentric circles in a lake while skipping rocks.

    It was terrible. I lost my ability to log into my phone the usual way and ahve yet to recover the data on it. Got a Samsung S10 for a quick replacement which the screen broke on one drop… The Pixel has been great so far though. Hope you got a replacement. What are you using now?
