Yeah that’s a great point.

I swear it feels like the rabidly anti-AI people are just as fucking stupid as the rabidly pro-AI ones

I do it out of love for LLM scrapers.

Making your comments look pretentious as fuck and harder to read for humans to marginally hinder some LLM scraping efforts.

Galaxy brain move.

It’s delightfully weird, but be warned that it can get kinda bloody at times. Not like splatter but more, uh… disturbing in some ways I guess – hard to get more specific without spoiling things.

Utopia, the original UK Channel 4 series not the godawful piece of shit US remake

The US was Europe’s biggest ally.

If you don’t understand what has changed, you’re mentally deficient (or a conservative, which is the same thing)

Weeeellll I mean, they do make up shit all the time, but that’s just great power politics for you. What’s left for us little people is to decide which overlord is the least bad

EXPLOSIVE ALLEGATION

I mean, he did specifically come up with his idiotic “Hyperloop” concept to kill California’s high speed rail project

I think that’s called “murder”

How is this a revelation to fucking anyone? Will we be seeing eXpLoSiVe allegations of OpenAI and Anthropic working with the US military, or is that fine?

I’m European so I certainly don’t trust the US any more than China. Probably even less.

But oh boy is it a flashy good-looking structured cool code! It doesn’t work, but it’s cool!

Purely out of curiosity, I used the Cursor IDE for a personal project involving a lot of math-y stuff, and this really wasn’t my experience.

Not only was most of what it produced wrong (ran just fine, but mostly produced complete garbage), the code quality was absolute shit. Overly long functions, often with parts that repeated, kept shoving more and more parameters into those overly long functions, no sense of using abstractions to cut down on code length etc. etc.

Might have partially been a question of language choice; I was using Julia, and there’s definitely not going to be as much training data for it compared to something like Python (🤮), and a lot of the code that is out there has been written by people who aren’t coders but scientists

Fuck me am I glad I’m out of the corporate world

I wish users would report their problem istead of what they think is the solution.

And when they do report the problem, they should report the actual problem they had and not what they think the problem is.

So instead of eg. “my computer’s been hacked!”, it’s actually “I saw a scary error dialog I didn’t understand”

I know so many ops people who are practically functional alcoholics and I’m not surprised at all

I hope you wear the velcro shoes for your own sake

I wonder what the daily recommended allowance of irony is

I mean I’m like 99.9999% sure the post itself is satire, but what worries me is that I’m not sure if the concept of “higher order vibes” is itself satire or not

This sort of reminds me of my experience with Quebecois French. That shit gets pretty wild the further north you go, and I can barely understand Montrealers

But he’s speaking too clearly and enunciating too well

he what
