Come on, there’s got to be a way around that.21 Jun 2026 02:17 +0000at://did:plc:yaknny2cxnqwtb63apit6j2q/app.bsky.feed.post/3morcl5iokc2thttps://blacksky.community/profile/joelh.social/post/3molgpkwjmc2pOkay, did Apple see this coming or just get lucky with some architecture choices? It seems like the unified memory they use in everything has made their computers borderline essential if you want to run local LLMs? Spend an arm and a leg on RAM and a graphics card or just buy our laptop?

What are you building? How’s it going? I’ve just starting learning about the Erlang VM and the crazy uptime it allows for. It makes it seem like an obvious choice for web development?12 Jun 2026 00:13 +0000at://did:plc:yaknny2cxnqwtb63apit6j2q/app.bsky.feed.post/3mo2hfzcuss27https://blacksky.community/profile/joelh.social/post/3mnldzuehnk23Wouldn’t it be really funny if a bunch of breakthroughs in model training happened and it made all those data centers obsolete?

I bet what’s actually happening is that CPC is losing voters to the LPC, and the LPC is in turn losing voters to the NDP. Or maybe not? Who knows!?

You generate wealth for your employer, get paid a sliver of that wealth, then the government steps in and takes a cut of that. Bezos is a parasite, but he’s not entirely wrong about income tax.

Making a fork that allows for higher resolution art as a drop in replacement for the original sprites.
