Roger Sherman - @rogersherman.com on Bluesky

I'm done on this platform, folks. I'll not be deleting the account, because it's my name, but I'm done posting and/or logging in here. I've moved over to Bluesky, and I hope to see some of you there. Search for rogersherman.com if you want to connect over there.

I’ve come to abandon the use case for LLMs to summarize text because the summaries usually miss vital parts and are disappointing when I look closer. Australian government now has proof this is the case. Another proof that LLMs have more limitations we need to understand.

Reminder that before 1982, stock buybacks were considered stock manipulation. Reagan's SEC opened the floodgates to their abuse. Stock buybacks don’t create more jobs. They don't increase wages. They don’t grow the economy. They do one thing: Make corporate execs richer.

@MantoshMukul @pycharm @Docker Really wish I could read any of what's in here.

Utilizing @pycharm to run #Django with @Docker 🐋🐍

@jeremyfranklin I do not, but I'm a little jealous - I've been wanting to go there for some time!

Anyone have advice on where to stay in Glacier National Park or in a surrounding town? Looking to book for 2024. Haha

@veloracermike Hope they took it ok. It's going to be an amazing journey for you!

So I had to let the band know I was moving. Really hard since I loved these guys and we were really gelling. I recommended a friend as their new bassist. Few more months and I'll be forming a new band in Berlin!

Turns out that's a popular AI cocktail.

@portainerio Hi - I made a mistake when signing up for a service, and signed up for something much more expensive than I needed. I was told by someone in customer service that I'd be refunded, but no refund so far, and she's ghosted me. How can I get this resolved?

@atrupar It's still in beta. Stuff like that will be added.

I see people a number of people I follow packing it in for BlueSky, and I respect it. I just wish it had video. Can’t really be the home for my work without it.

@DBolelli Those sheets are dirty, and soooo are yoooouuuu

Tonight it's a Social Distortion and Dropkick Murphys kind of night

Mounting a challenge to a party-popular president, by attacking him on issues where 85-95% of the president's co-partisans agree with him? That's the kind of brainwave developed when your only sources of information are your own paid flatterers.

@ru_okie That is worse than I would have thought.

Uh oh, they're on to us...

FACT: With the exception of government officials and a few orgs willing to pay Musk thousands, there is no more verification on Twitter anymore. There are people who pay Musk $8/month and people who don't. That's it.

@Kirtaner Does that guy think that Space Karen actually builds rockets?

I don't mind kids being taught how to properly shoot and handle firearms at all. But when it gets fetishized, as it clearly is here, then yes, grooming is the proper term. Grooming the next generation of school shooters.

Of course people hostile to the United States make a hero of an American soldier who betrayed the United States.
