That tracks. CEOs are locked in a state of needing to justify their own existence. Being the one in charge of migrating to AI is the perfect reason. CEOs live and die by quarterly performance, but don’t have to answer to long term issues; janky code that resembles a demo is good enough to last until the CEO can laterally jump to the next ship.

Re: beef tallow fries. I tried some tonight. I liked them. They taste exactly as you’d expect: beefy. Is it worth fascism? Definitely not.

Ahh, getting brain gains while also getting your gain gains. Gotta gainmaxx

I would delete a field in a struct definition and it would suggest “hey, delete it down here too, in the constructor?” and I’d hit tab and it would go “now delete this setter down here too”, tab, “… and this getter”, tab, “… and it’s also mentioned here in this formatting function”, tab. Tab, tab, tab.

wtf? Refactor functionality exists. You don’t need an LLM for this. There are probably good vim plugins that will do this for you. Clearly this 15 year vim user is still a vim scrub (takes one to know one tbh).

I started following near, who was talking about Claude like a life companion. near used Claude in every possible situation: to research, to program, to weigh life options, to crack jokes.

Near needs to touch some fucking grass.

If nothing else, it’s a trap discussion. The only real answer is “they’re both fine.” Anyone who seriously argues that one is far superior to another probably needs therapy. Joke discussions are fine and signs of a healthy brain.

E: when I think vim, I think of bram moolenaar, may he rest in peace. When I think emacs, I think of richard stallman, who can go fuck himself with a rake.

ah, big insights into the world of AI. Where do you think we’ll land on AGI?

Now I want an anti-AI song parody called “A Guy Instead” to the tune of the Beatle’s “I’ll Cry Instead”

Thanks for looking into it. The idea of an ethical data set large enough to train an LLM is suspicious.

From the class guide:

We ask that students do not use laptops or phones in class. Research suggests that students who do so unwittingly spend much of the time surfing the internet leading to worse educational outcomes, and that taking notes by hand is much more effective. You may use laptops during class exercises, and you may also use a tablet to take notes.

lol

I think this sub might be satirical and that this post is under that umbrella, investigating!

Core Strategy: We define the probability of victory, PvictoryP_{\text{victory}}Pvictory​, as: Pvictory=( C B A^2+ℏ∂ΨP∂t)×(Nc⋅c2)P_{\text{victory}} = \left( C B A^2 + \hbar \frac{\partial \Psi_P}{\partial t} \right) \times (Nc \cdot c^2)Pvictory​=(CBA2+ℏ∂t∂ΨP​​)×(Nc⋅c2). (Someone told me this is "LateX"? I think you need to copy it to ChatGPT to see the equation.)

Yeah it’s time to delete LaTeX. We’re done. We don’t deserve it anymore

Yeah. They are like midbosses of this side of the internet.
