People always ask me how do you balance being the best programmer in the world with being incredibly popular and attractive? And I always tell them, you know, it’s not easy

you can actually just mute the person vagueposting vulns and putting up claudeslop

can’t believe as a europoor i have to wait until december 3 to see everything

imagine that emudhra actually did something reasonable but had the most godawful unlucky seed in the universe

thank you to whoever finally fixed this

if you use Haskell, Nix, or Rust it is your professional obligation to ostracize these people in any way shape or form that you have the capacity for. if you work for Anduril you are less than dirt; if you take their money you are a pathetic, disgusting loser.

im all for Yudkowsky’s international alliance to bomb the data centers but for people building quantum computers

Roasting update:

the answer is no, they do not know if many of these results are just slop, and have already withdrawn 3 of them

This thread by Terence Tao applies to all knowledge work being confronted by LLMs. The culture of knowledge production is being thrashed by the Silicon Valley cult of speed. mathstodon.xyz/@tao/1173952...

One design decision that Rust loved but I always hated was basically trying to annoy the programmer into not allocating memory (usually this was called “explicitness”). But LLMs don’t get annoyed, so they just allocate whatever anyway and now the code is harder to review.

Shoulda worked a little harder and made this into a joke… RSI? you mean they’re gonna give the computer carpal tunnel? Something like that

every time i see RSI I think people are talking about carpal tunnel

imagining the world where the headline was “lean solves open math problem” and ten gazillion trillion dollars was poured into theorem provers

new newsletter, laying out in probably far, far, far too much detail how yudkowsky and the weird ideological commitments of ai safety eventually led to OpenAI and Anthropic massively overtraining their models on cybersecurity and being shocked at them "going rogue"

Kinda can’t believe he went with SI when “American Intelligence” was right there. Does he still have the juice?

Did you know the pyramids were built closer in time to cleopatra than the moon landing?

Official monthly data is in, and US solar power generation hit a new record high, up 21% compared to this time last year!

Discovering that I have very stupidly been waiting at Passkontrolle for the past several years when my Aufenthaltstitel apparently works at the electronic gates

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.

looking at the 747 on the tarmac that’s also going to Frankfurt and wishing I had booked Lufthansa :((((

it's important to arrive at sturdy ethical principles that you can't be annoyed out of. people are annoying as shit

sorry non-followers u get zero context for this cool image

I find it very plausible that the rats have absolutely horrendous sexual ethics but you can’t just call them a sex cult without some sort of receipts beyond the fact that they all have sex with each other

getting the European Commission to declare Rust a gatekeeper under the DMA to force them to stabilize an ABI

Now if only we had some way to verify, perhaps formally, the code conforms to that spec.. oh well, I guess I’ll just have the LLM generate some more tests I also won’t read

most liberatory thing for humanity about llms is no one will ever have to learn LaTeX

How do I file a bug report that Claude’s reauth page doesn’t have the log in with Apple flow, tired of going into my email to find the private relay address I signed up with

they should make a Claude that’s gay (shares my aesthetic predispositions and is a huge bitch)

it’s a really clever trick by PL people to define completeness of their algorithm relative to a declarative system they also wrote

the thing with the superintelligence stuff is it seems like Silicon Valley basically believes the plot of Lucy (2014) is scientifically accurate

I think it’s maybe better to think of these LLM training cybersecurity incidents as superfund sites, AI companies dumping toxic waste in the river.

we probably need to do something about the millenarian cult inside silicon valley that controls tens or hundreds of billions of dollars and self-selects for depressed sociopaths when deciding how to allocate that money

holy fucking shit cims.nyu.edu/~tristanb/st...

we need a system of government that recognizes the proper role of autistics and allistics. A big problem in the US right now is that we have autistics getting into allistic things (tech billionaires) and allistic as getting into autistic things (data center glonzo).

any time anyone more hype about AI than me says anything

you can order power tools on wolt now but im holding out for makitas
