    Seriously, I'd like the new york times to die in a fire. Apart from the paywalling, the stupid site has decided that I'm a bot - but I can load pages in a private window. I've trie…

    I'd disagree: models a year from now will still be trained on public code - of which there's a rapidly rising percentage of aigen code, meaning it should, without specific guidance…

    Some people don't. A lot of people just see a trillionaire whacko who can do whatever he wants because that's how society works - money talks.

    You'd have to be well dear not to notice it. And our ears are more than good enough to home in on it to the point of seeing it. I recommend an ig nobel.

    I used to, but it just means an extra round of conversation, so I stopped.

    honestly makes me want to learn haskell and find a company that focuses on it. I'm so tired (so incredibly tired) of all the ai slop I've seen, just in my company, and the ai-bros …

    My tests? Sure. Co-workers? Unlikely. Historical co-workers who are no longer with us except in the code they left? Not a chance. But when I have to work in an area, the first thin…

    another blog to avoid then; the intentionality of actually writing from scratch is kinda part of the point. the other point is that "more data" doesn't necessarily mean "more bette…

    I think the "giving back to humanity" angle is naive - Altman has walked back on so many promises, and the obvious answer is that he wants government backing to be too large to fai…

    Cool, another person I shouldn't bother reading, since they just accept aigen responses to stuff as their own.

    yeah, i use that often, eg when a video is slow on a website - at least yt-dlp will shard out multiple piece-downloaders, and I can get the video in a few seconds or minutes, and j…

    it's an interesting talk, my take being: concurrency _is_ parallelism, but for I/O. People often think of parallelism for the case of making something go faster - eg placing two co…

    I would have read more, but just a few seconds on that site made my eyes bleed. Good grief - both light-colored and low contrast. It's as if the author doesn't want to be read.
