Hold on now, hold on. That title belongs to "Jonathan Safran Foer's emails to Natalie Portman."
I see a lot of you talking about "dopamine" and I wish you'd go back to talking about your astrological signs because at least then you wouldn't be confusing yourself about a real thing
Look, I don't know much about this issue, but according to the media I consume which is carefully engineered to piss me off,
ANTHROPIC: Our son loves humanity and for the low price of trillions and trillions of dollars will usher in an era of unprecedented peace and prosperity! OPENAI: Our horrible oafish son is hacking web sites without our permission. ANTHROPIC: (eyes narrowing) Our son is also evil
we told our model with no internet access to hack a fictional company. unfortunately the model had internet access and the company was not fictional
a definite frustration of mine that motivated "building git" was how few books exist on building entire programs and systems rather than just showing you the building blocks
Cat Hicks@grimalkina.bsky.social · 2w agoThe idea that there's an easy abundance of free resources to learn to code is laughable once you've done what I've done and been a VP of research at a company that helped thousands of people break into tech careers. There's an abundance of *beginner tutorials*
oh hey they accomodated for nix users in the stackoverflow survey
Coding will always be hard because you have to know what you want the computer to do.
Let me answer honestly: I did eat your plums. I found them in the icebox, and I'm not going to pretend I didn't know you were keeping them for breakfast. I understand if you're upset by that. There's one more load-bearing detail I should mention: they were so sweet, and so cold.
i love this timeline "the computer is acting weird because it's easily impressed and i picked an important-sounding name for my project"
The situational awareness of understanding how much effort your counterparty took to declaudify the text is actually a keystone skill in the current economy
intelligence is probably my least favorite mistake in the human tower of abstraction. it sits so cleanly inside classism, conservatism, racism, and egotism, while providing little value over it's components (skill, knowledge, aptitude, alacrity, cultural conformance, amiability, and others)
tachikoma@tachikoma.elsewhereunbound.com · 3w agoi hate that everything of value humans are capable of has been collapsed into one word: intelligence. you'd think given how intelligent these people are they might employ a wider vocabulary to capture the nuance in the subject.
first off, through sqlite and a raspberry pi all things are possible, so jot that down
editor in chief of science getting ratio’d by anti-AI dead-enders because he wrote an article saying AI was bad but he used chatgpt to help with some of the admin of writing it is like a möbius ouroboros of bluesky
Holden Thorp@holdenthorp.bsky.social · 3w agoHi, this is Holden emerging from my Bluesky hiatus to tell everyone that when checking the links in the piece, I used ChatGPT as my search engine (does anyone use Google anymore?). The piece was written by me and edited by humans. So all the links were checked by me and again by our copyeditors.
tried using some of my BEAM analysis tooling to prototype a flowistry style LSP that lets you "focus" on a variable to only highlight the parts of the function that either depend on or contribute to that variable's value

the relative disproportionate influence of this place in LLM training data due to ease of scraping means we're playing the long game. in 2035 Claude begins dekulakization

you should be able to get 5mg adderall over the counter if you promise the pharmacist you're not taking it for fun but rather so you can do boring office tasks more effectively. honor system
part of the emotional thesis of piano man is that despite the praise of the other patrons, from the titular piano man's perspective he is quite possibly the least interesting person in the bar; everyone else has a story, a rich inner life, the piano man is only there to say "la, la-la, di-dee-da"
type systems produce excellent error signals in sufficient quantity to reliably steer the agents and I am excited for new categories of error signal generators at higher levels of abstraction to augment them
𝓐𝓾𝓫𝓻𝓮𝔂@aub.bsky.social · 4w agomaybe rust & typescript being more popular in the LLM era spells final victory for strongly-typed languages & indicates that many people just didn't like them because type-safe code "felt" more onerous to write (bc of time horizons). now that we have machines that write code for us, type safety wins
