I hate to tell you this, but... Breath of the Wild will turn 10 next year.

"The middle distribution of Gen-Z's feelings about AI range from apprehension to downright hatred. Despite the fact that more than half of Gen Z living in the U.S. uses AI regularly, according to a recently released Gallup poll, less than a fifth feel hopeful about the technology. About a third says the technology makes them angry. And nearly half say it makes them afraid." Gen Z went through a pandemic that destroyed their social lives, then AI comes in to destroy their professional lives (and also their social lives as well). If anything, I'm surprised this is all that's happened (so far).

Fuck. I honestly never really thought about that, but yeah... Specifically the younger Gen Z had the pandemic ruin their education and social lives, but now they have an AI and affordability crisis.

If there's one thing I've hoarded across multiple work laptops since 2018, it's my "Programming" directory. So many little side projects and scripts.

I just Thanos snapped a good majority of it. 🫰

The amount of work required to somewhat replicate my macOS setup on a KDE desktop environment was very minimal.

It's incredibly hilarious how out of place the intro and this interlude are to the rest of the album. I love it.

Duke energy seeks rate hike as customers push back on rising bills Duke Energy seeks an 18% rate hike as bills have already risen 22% since 2020. Customers push back ahead of a public hearing on rising costs and accountability.

Oh fuck off. Duke Energy has been hiking prices like crazy.

If you're curious, I've been making a shift in my personal programming/scripting in the last year: Ditching Microsoft languages.

That's gonna be a no. Two of my nodes still lost their routes last night.

Think I may have a fix for that? My script for adding those routes should be ran on boot and, now, before the k3s/k3s-agent service starts.

Noticing that my Kubernetes cluster is losing routes when apt is running unattended upgrades and restarting the k3s/k3s-agent service as a result.

I had the worst realization earlier that, come May, I will have used the same town name across many Animal Crossing games... For **twenty years**.

That might not seem like a large increase in performance, but it definitely matters as more tokens fill the context. The more tokens, the worse it gets performance wise.

Before it was offloading some of that to the CPU and would typically top out token generation at 15 tokens per second, but now I'm topping out at 21 tokens per second. Neat!

Oh cool! Looks like the PR for "Fused Gated Delta Net" support for the Vulkan accelerator got merged in llama.cpp. Prompt processing and token generation speeds have significantly improved for Qwen 3.5.

Google Fiber will be sold to private equity firm and merge with cable company GFiber and Astound to merge with Alphabet selling majority stake to Stonepeak.
