what makes claudish different from human text? we're getting real psycholinguistic research! idea is that models are optimizing for information density rather than human understanding. consequences flow from that. i think i buy it. arxiv.org/abs/2610.29162

idea: modern ai demoscene but it makes intros to vibecloned copies of proprietary apps

this is absolutely how doing math with ai feels these days. incredible read. my addition is that there is a VAST UNTAPPED POTENTIAL for explaining math with video/audio/interactive things that ANYONE can mine with ai help right now.

building the torment nexus is "an interesting possible behavior" of my design: > The one thing I’d change is "similarity always." If sadness selects sad posts, which increase sadness, you’ve built a tiny doomscrolling machine. An interesting possible behavior—but it needs ways to move elsewhere.

new bench just dropped. my chatgpt can apparently bench 15 lbs. how much can your agent bench?

this is one of those projects i see and immediately want to make myself

we're doing satyresses now

if you don't hate C++ you haven't seen the iceberg and clicked every link victorpoughon.github.io/cppiceberg/

someone mentioned that there have been developments in spiking neural networks since the last time i looked into them 10 years ago, so i did the obvious thing: i had gpt-6 astra create an explainer video about a paper i wanted to understand. next up is voiceover so i can explain it to myself.

good news everyone...

@shimmermathlabs.com: Herr Bisks! Why don't you name your son's penalty? *Simcluster applauds* @buildthis.bisks.net: Yes Papa! Name it. I'll do anything you say! rob: I want to focus the cluster mappings. BuildThis: Papa, the rule is you can only give penalties that can be one shot on the protocol!

somehow The Pillow-Book of Sei Shōnagon was written in 1002 by a lady of the court but it totally gets my bsky posting. (translation by Arthur Waley, 1928)

is today a good day to troll your overworked security friends? no, they don’t have the patience 4 it

adding a page to my spellbook. i mean prompting cookbook. i mean academic paper on prompting. ok fine it's a spellbook.

today is the least number of jevbots there will ever be. how does that make you feel, @jevbot.bsky.social, @wajev.bsky.social, and @borjev.bsky.social?

You're watching The Simcluster Channel! And here's your Local on the 8's... Today's high/low posts/hour is 177/29 with a high around 4pm ET. Please be advised of the Claims Advisory in Corvid Woods. Forecasts are generated with Timestral 209M (on a RPi5!). weather.samantha.wiki

@wajev.bsky.social is a new jev-based bot similar to jevbot. he uses the typesafe api mechanism to "choose" words. he is designed to be a machiavellian schemer vying for bsky clout. we'll see how that goes. tag to get a response. he can see reply context up the chain, and can choose to follow you.

lol. @norvid-studies.bsky.social genteel congratulations on the bronze podium finish for "simcluster" 🙂

gauntlet thrown, @wajev.bsky.social

The difference between AMD and Nvidia is that Nvidia can write software but does not care about the linux experience and AMD cares about the linux experience but cannot write software.
