And he keeps making more innocents to hurt.

Wait no they’re talking about Race Theory Criticality Events

Can’t wait to see the prompt injection attempts that reconstruct the entirety of paywalled papers tbqh.

They’re going to build the acausal robot god and then they’re going to fuck it.

This American Psycho spinoff sucks: “I’m in MAGAs and asshatisms”

ChatGPT, please explain to me the difference between “haggling” and “negotiating”

Bit of a wash, tbh: I like that the “but simplicity!” computer touchers now write their trash code in a memory-safe language; it sure reduces the amount of extremely preventable issues by introducing some other extremely preventable issues.

On the plus side, this single image does catch one up pretty quickly

I don’t see any of them play an if err != nil { return err } so they can’t be all that smart now, can they

I’m pretty sure this is just a handy convenience around launching another container that has debug tools in all the same namespaces (network, pid, user, filesystem, …) as the other. Kubernetes has a similar thing and it’s pretty handy.

Edit: oooooh wait, I misread your entire comment: you were referring to the ai-powered install instructions. Oops, and yep, that is a big yikes. Wow.

So it sounds like they’re firing pagey

Ah yes, the cia is no stranger to the artifice of intelligence.

Ehhhh. This is the identical PR they ended up accepting: https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/pull/24648

I have feels about the implied “the author behaves like a shithead because he’s ESL” but eh. If it works.

A: “Why are you knitting so fast? You in a rush?” B: “I’m almost out of yarn, gotta get this sweater done before it runs out”

I recently learned there is a page showing just the comments of the communities you are subscribed to; that works for me because this space is so incredibly low-traffic, but I guess falls apart if you use that account to follow higher-traffic chatter.

Just leave the computer running, the capacitors will explode before the model is done evaluating.

(Or it’ll spring a pre-auth vuln and turn into a buttcoin miner, or it’ll experience a blip in communication latency and lose its ability to talk to the others in its cluster, …)

Whoever it is that’s going to build those machines that scare us so much, we will find him. And we will fund him.

Yup, there are a few efforts out there like that, I would group aux and lix in with them, as ecosystem-compatible parts.

My feeling these days is that the ecosystem is kinda screwy on a fundamental level, and I’m willing to blame the unhealthy focus on “purity” (both the word and the concept) for a good part of that. The language you use to define packages and systems doesn’t need to be lazily evaluated and purely functional; nothing needs to be, that is a lesson freely available to be learned coming out of the early 2000s.

Anyway, here I am slowly reading through the doctoral thesis, picking out the (several) grains of corn that make up the really good and solid ideas that make it a useful system; maybe a thing can be made that adds a bit of pragmatism… and then a lot of effort can be poured into that, unpragmatically.

Of course - it’s all part of the cancel culture grift economy. I look forward to us being able to hate-read Jon’s self-published autobiography in a few months.

I’m glad they finally got around to productizing the month name inference engine
