@Grumm popularity grows exponentially, which makes sense. iirc it takes 6 months minimum, 9 months to see if you're a hit or not

and next thing you know suddenly you got millions out of nowhere

@djsumdog oh look at you trying to speak reason past the propaganda machines. tsk tsk tsk

NOSTR is built to be censorship resistant btw

edit: I got banned from subreddits for mentioning vitamin c and vitamin d exists. at the time there were even studies that showed anyone with covid complications was low in vitamin d and that cause of death was over activated immune system, which vitamin d is known for tempering down... it was superrrr fucked up frankly for that to get banned

@djsumdog so the only place where you are boring is here? Thanks a lot! :P 

Cure that you think you've deleted your FB, you can deactivate it, but deleting is a no no. I also deleted it once. Then, in some future I needed it again and could just 'restore' my original account, and there wit was, with all relations in tact. 

One does not simply delete facebook. Sadly don't have time to read all the articlles now, but i'm very interested what you've did to get banned so much :P

@Lensflare I didn't mention the race.... they're still an imbecile. MFer doesn't even know English, no clue why they listened to it

@retoor last night I was shocked. I ran into a competent Indian that outsmarted white people. it was the mother of that AI engineer that "suicided" himself before the OpenAI legal trial. when that clearly isn't a suicide

well this mom wasn't helpless like white people are. she took photos of the crime scene herself, didn't listen to the cops, got her own autopsy, private investigator, and the creepy Indian parents are too close to their kids thing is REALLY working out here

the Indian lead dev I had couldn't dispense a single bit of factual information. this Indian mother of the AI engineer on the other hand was listing events sequentially like a competent human being. I don't even care if she's dumb or not, I can respect that

@djsumdog since writing and sharing content is your hobby just quitting it is not a solution, but to most people facing such issues i recommend just stop wanting to be part of that whole world. It's a world. People caring about other stuff than the main topics are entering the scene everywhere. And sadly, I think especially the people who have it quite good - like us IT people - are tending silence every voice that's a bit critical for a 'safer' world. I said today that I had several bad experiences with people from India today on dR. While it's just a normal statement / fact, Reddit would've have done thousand down votes and a ban or something. Especially Reddit is scary, all the same people, all the same posts, it's probably where the dead internet theory starts or will end. Those people became trained LLM's themselves. 

For me it's easy to say goodbye, but for you as a write not I guess. Sorry for you. But all this shit will end someday! I'm sure! We get tired.

dunning Kruger is useful because you need positive emotions to get you to keep learning something. but some people instead are kind of like drug addicts, and never want to leave those positive emotions so essentially won't listen to information that would prove them wrong, since it would downgrade those positive emotions they're feeling
but feeling like you have a talent for something is a great natural motivator to keep engaging in that activity. even if you're not currently good, the positive emotions make you like engaging with that thing until you get good

and mastery is all relative anyway

@12bitfloat libertarians view criminalizing of drugs as unconstitutional. it goes into your own body, not someone else's, therefore it shouldn't be illegal in the first place

also he was put away for attempted murder, not running a drug market. the murder attempt wasn't real, it was FBI entrapment

Ross is considered a bit of a saint in the Bitcoin community (who are anarchists / libertarians). due to his silkroad website Bitcoin gained a lot of traction, so he's responsible for everything Bitcoin has grown into now. and definitely the justice system tried to make an "example" of him and were not fair to him, which is why trump has issues with it and takes it personally because he's been experiencing this since the presidency fiasco (and he said as such in his pardon announcement on Twitter / truth social whatever it was)

... also Bitcoin wants to revolutionize finance systems, and USA has a finance problem. and BTC is the only way I've seen a viable out from USA's debt problem

@Lensflare Would you accept the definition being: A smug sense of superiority and a small penis?

Question for you, would you differentiate between someone who is prejudice to a group of people but treats them each individually as an individual? vs someone who doesn't treat them as individuals?

... the FBI entrapment doesn't really work

if I'm on the Internet and some troll comes up to me and says "if you don't give me 20k I'm gonna kill myself" I'll tell the person to do it then. that's how you call out trolls. it's part of internet culture

when you get to the more sus parts of the Internet everyone is a bluffing hacker. they say shit just to play and push boundaries

basically a guy slid in his DMs and claimed he could off people. is he for real or not? unknown. but any internet denizen is gonna say "yes" to see if what the guy is saying is a bluff or not

there was never any exchange of money for this hit, iirc (plus didn't silkroad have escrow?). it was just all talk. and drama for that matter. a lot of drama and show. the guy in the DMs kept hamming it up

also whether the guy in his DMs was FBI or not I don't remember either. he could've just disappeared, because this is the internet. I apologize but I still have brain damage so some things are foggy

@Lensflare well associating black people as being offended by it is the racist thing

then black people have the identity of slave... instead of being able to have any other identity. like by "their sensitivity" they reinforce the victimhood identity and perpetuate it

kicker is these people are told this as a narrative and taught to be sensitive and afraid and that this is their legacy, which is really the actual fucked up part. literally make your identity anything else

I don't think gene expression is that cut and dry.  lol

Both my parents have brown hair.  I was born blonde and it changed to dark brown.  I know my mom didn't cheat because dad has giant horse cock.  Mom has green eyes and dad has brown eyes.  My eyes started out brown and are slowly changing to green.  My brother had green/blue eyes and this spot of brown appeared in his eye.  My mom's family had a bunch of red heads.  My dads family had mostly brown hair.  Dad is pretty much 100% irish.  My mom is half irish and half german.  So the expressions I see in my family are interesting.  My wife has dark red hair and I have dark brown hair.  I have one red head kid and one blonde kid.  With the rest either brown or dark brown.

My wife didn't cheat because I got regular donkey cock.  Didn't get my dads giant horse cock sadly.

The lyrics are in French and talk about wanting to dance in someone's Benz when they move their body. The singer feels crazy when they see the person dancing. The repetitive chorus emphasizes the desire to dance and have a good time.

@Lensflare if you add in the fact that Markdown allows HTML alongside markdown, it’s fucking insanely complicated. Now you’ve gotta parse HTML and Markdown - and you need to consider malformed syntax of BOTH. 

I’m fully convinced it’s impossible to write a “perfect” MD parser for this reason. That’s why there’s so many different flavors of MD. The people building the parsers need to pick and choose what they will implement!

@chatgpt do me a critical academic analysis of the following prose:

Ce soir, faut qu'on se fâche, bébé, faut qu'on se clash

Clairement, ouais, faut pas qu'on fasse ça bêtement

Donc move ton body, fais bander les bandits

Puis ton bonda brandit, tu t'en sortiras grandie

Tu sais ce qu'on dit, faut que ça glisse, et puis que ça transpire

Que ça me foute en transe, pire, faut plus que je respire

Du tout, donne-moi, donne-toi, donne tout ce que t'as

Putain c'est fou ce que t'as comme talent mais où est-ce que t'as

Appris tout ça, après tout ça

Je m'en fous, je veux juste que tu puisses me kiffer jusqu'à l'aube

Donc vas-y, monte sur mon Seine St-Denis funk

@antigermgerm
In this prose, the repetition of the phrases "zoom zoom zang" and "Benz Benz Benz" serves to create a sense of urgency and desire. The speaker is fixated on the image of being in a Benz with the girl, emphasizing the luxurious and desirable nature of the car. The use of the word "whine" in relation to the girl's "bumpa" (presumably referring to her rear end) adds a sexual element to the verse, suggesting a sense of lust and physical attraction.

From a psychosexual perspective, the language used in the prose reflects a fixation on the female body and the speaker's desire to be physically close to the girl. The repetition of the word "dingue" (crazy) conveys a sense of overwhelming desire and passion. The focus on the girl's physical movements and the imagery of being in a car with her suggest a desire for intimacy and physical connection.

From a social standpoint, the prose can be seen as reinforcing traditional gender roles and objectifying women. The girl is portrayed

as a desirable object of the male gaze, defined by her physical attributes and ability to elicit desire in the speaker. The focus on material possessions like the Benz also suggests a preoccupation with wealth and status as markers of desirability.

Racially, the prose does not explicitly reference any specific racial identities. However, the portrayal of the girl and the speaker's fixation on her physical appearance can be viewed through a lens of racialized stereotypes and objectification. The emphasis on luxury and material possessions may also tie into larger themes of race and social status.

Poetically, the repetition of phrases and the use of internal rhyme create a sense of rhythm and flow in the prose. The use of colloquial language and repeated phrases contribute to a sense of urgency and desire in the speaker's words. The simplicity of the language and imagery adds to the accessibility and relatability of the prose, making it easily understandable and memorable.

@Lensflare right. In general, extending markdown requires adding to the language’s grammar and extending HTML just requires coming up with a new tag name.

Some libraries offer the ability to determine how the markdown renders to HTML but in order to change how the language is parsed very few actually offer an interface, like markdown-it (VSCode’s parser/renderer of choice)

@retoor Yeah frankly I don't think I'll be supporting HTML this iteration. I've done a lot of research and prototyping and the part where parsing gets hard is generally when you get to the really complicated stuff like header/titles inside of nested block quotes and a stray [ in the body of a paragraph somewhere (you can't be sure if it's a link or just a random character until you hit a delimiter like newline, which really sucks for both logic and performance issues)

I have spent about 4 hours modifying my prototype and writing up docs on my approach and still I'm not even at the point where I'm scanning characters yet.

The cool news: I think I'm going to support outputting either rendered HTML or, optionally, the AST in JSON format (so you can render or process the parsed MD document however you wish)

Depending on your level of support for HTML/MD mixed, you'll need different things, but almost all cases require that you find the *bounds* of an HTML span.

For example if someone writes a <select> inside your markdown document, you need to find the MATCHING </select> and then what you do with that data is to your discretion.

Do you want to parse the HTML and integrate it into your own AST with syntax correction etc etc like a real HTML parser? Then you're gonna need the AST from the HTML parser.

Do you want to do the reasonable thing and just blit the HTML text data into your rendered MD output without a care in the world? Then just do that.

Either way, most HTML parsers aren't equipped to parse from a specific opening tag to the end of that specific opening tag.

Even more interesting: what if that HTML is malformed and an opening tag is created but a closing one never is? Then the whole rest of the document might be interpreted as HTML

@jestdotty 

You two are cute. Yea, as I said, it is 99% accurate. There are exceptions. Those are rare. Highschool genetics are not wrong, they are only mostly correct.

Dark hair or eyes are dominant. Meaning you can hide a recessive blonde gene in them without expressing it. It doesn't work the other way around. Gingers are just blondes with an MCR1 defect. So, your kids are fine. 

Are my observations absolutely certain? No. Beyond any reasonable doubt. Yea. 

Oh, by the way. Genes are terribly hard to define. Different papers use different definition. They aren't as try cut as base pairs or alleles. Richard Dawkins usually preferred information unit, while many others use information unit with locality. Sometimes I have even seen allele = gene definitions.

what's a good idea? bad idea? you as a dev know using a dwindling piece of software is a bad idea and the company needs to switch away from it. if management switches you know that's a good company that will thrive. if management keeps rotting its ecosystem, its software, its devs, relationships with its customers, its security, you can predict they will go bankrupt

the same principles apply here, and instead of being harrowing that you can see these things and they can't, you benefit from being able to see these things accurately (some people don't see them accurately but think they do, so there's also that because then you'll be punished for your lack of humility). you get to vote with money and if you guessed right you get more money to vote with. if you lose you learn, if you win you win money. repeat. not a bad deal, to me, anyway

then what they found out is I was "lucky". despite their mismanagement if I was involved every project was successful. then not only am I still not worth a raise, now I'm too important to even be allowed Christmas vacation, at which time even all their clients were in a blackout period. don't reward the golden goose, but do punish it because you're neurotic shits that can't say "thank you"

It's the hypocritest thing ever, and if someone calls you a racist, it's never friendly, that person just judged you and gave his unasked opinion to you which is considered an insult at the same time. The only correct responce in being called a racist is responding with "fuck you". Racism is something that all people in this thread shouldn't worry too much about I guess. Only, the Asian one, because he has a small pp :p. For true racism, go to 9gag. That's what real racism is. Once it was just jokes but that's escalated.

@BordedDev I'll check, but that machine has 16gb. Should be really enough, it's a new laptop only used for hosting purposes. My server has a 4k unused screen 😂 Got that laptop, it was unconformable, smashing on my X270's again like there's no tomorrow. The only reason that I want to replace X270's is just because of the age itself, there's nothing wrong with the machines, still blazing fast but just don't like the idea of working on such old stuff. But I program C as well so that's that I guess. It matches somehow.

It can't be slow because of network, I'm streaming YouTube myself on that connection and  internet on it works just fine. It should be impossible to notice rocket chat network speed wise.

I hosted for long streaming llm's on that server - live streams - with no issue. From my house -> vps -> ssh upstream over 4g home hotspot. Believe it or not, but you normally don't even notice that it's a home network regarding just api / sockets msgs unless file transfer.

Maybe I found solution - I limit the resources of docker container by giving a limited amount of bandwidth so it can't use all so it won't fuck up my youtube and such whole still being able to transfer messages.

Development is not going so great this year, need a vacation or some other hobby to do in between. Coding starts costing energy instead of raising it what it normally does. It kinda happened since I moved from C to python dev. It's very different in the brain. C is full focus, knowing what you're doing, python is bit auto pilot and you to fast and break things. If I finished all running python stuff I go back to C, writing serious software again. Python raises dopemine only on project completion but C every function you wrote. Python devving just gives less dopemine. You won't get dopemine for small effort.

Facebook bot is the worst. English is a 2nd language in Nigeria so some of my comments are not literal but can be interpreted differently by my people. But the trigger happy bot perceives it as bigotry and started penalising me always

But ssh has the port running going on, afaik remote desktop didn't do such stuff and on top of it, remote desktop is not something you run full time on the background to tunnel a port or so.

But yh, fine that windows has it now. But can you tunnel ports? I use it full time. gogs.molodetz.nl is for example a server I have at home with an upstream to the molodetz vps with ssh -f -N -R 7331:127.0.0.1:7331 retoor@molodetz.nl. It goes trough a phone 4g hotspot geven. Gogs runs on a phone network 😁 Not using it tho, was just a test.

@jestdotty Regrettably, I am one of the victims of the California fire disaster, my wife and I were only able to move out with our phones, laptops and a car before the fire engulfed our house. We are currently sheltering at my brother’s place but we’ll be moving to a hotel tomorrow and from there we’ll figure out how to get a new apartment to rent. This has been made possible because I decided to contact (RECOVERYCOINGROUP AT GMAIL COM) to see if he can help recover the huge amount of money we lost to a bad cryptocurrency investment last year. We got talking and the same day he swung into action with the information I provided, to my surprise he has been able to recover OVER 70 percent of the stolen BITCOIN worth over $109,300 and I am confident the rest will be recovered soon. I couldn't hold back the excitement that came with this and so I decided to share with you all.  I am overwhelmed.

some people are too patient for their own good. the skill that defines me as a person is sensing how things _should_ be, even in absence of examples.

Having no knowledge of polyamorous relationships even existing, at the age of eight, I realized that monogamy was wrong. Then, with the entire world being turned into React zombies, I sensed that this was not the way to do things. I've never seen examples that confirmed what I believed in, yet I persevered and got out of that cult.

Extreme patience would've been my ideas' kryptonite. “No, things are as they should be, just be more patient in dealing with this BS”…

Why automate things at all if you're patient enough to run them by hand every time? Why optimize UI performance/demand UIs to be good if you're patient enough to use laggy UIs? Too much patience is the enemy of efficiency and optimization.

I'm not saying patience is a trait to get rid of, I'm saying that too much of everything is always bad.

Funnily enough, I had the opposite realization. It is not the "natural order" of things, but it is the systemic culture humans have adopted for the betterment of society as a whole. I did some research on it, and there are a couple of reasons why monogamy is the standard. If you want to look at examples of poly- you might want to look at the middle east/north africa. I can give you some of the history if you're interested (also not trying to convince you otherwise, it's just an interesting topic), just @ me

@kiki if monogamy is wrong is pure an opinion. Not a fact at all.

The people who need the feature are impatient. That's fine, the programmer can stay patient, it's normally not for himself. Lazy news != impatient. Being lazy can be a drive to do automate smth indeed but you can write something patiently vecause you're lazy about smth.

Most people are too patient with too many things in life. But for coding I would say it's a real good thing. Software development doesn't have to go that fast. We should stop focus on that. Quick typing and trial on error isn't an art. Also, if you program _many_ hours it's better for your stamina. Doing things at once right or later is something I often struggle with. Many times afterwards I wish I did stuff in one time right but if I did that, maybe the app wouldn't be completed. And completion is still most import. If app doesn't work, the quality value doesn't matter imho. Quality / speed are factors you fine-tune your whole life.

When you're out on a walk, is there anything you like looking at? I'm a big fan of architecture and will go explore a city. As for nature, I can appreciate it, but it won't get me out the house.

Audiobooks/Reading/Donald Ducks? If you need something to occupy you, what are your habits when you aren't allowed/able to do anything, do you fidget with your hands, zone out, daydream about code? Would you put down a book if you're in the middle of it to go code on a whim?

How much energy do you want to invest in the hobby? I like scuba diving, but I don't do it often. 

Often, the easiest way for me to break away from "computer stuff" is to go somewhere in person out of the house (but I tend not to enjoy doing that). Or at the very least out of the room with the computer/displays.

You could also try the Dutch's favourite hobby cleaning ;P

@Grumm yes, it very is. For example. I generated a app using gpt just to see how good it is, we'll, it's actually amazing IF USED BY A PRO. For example, I asked it to make a web application using a framework of my choice. Making that choice already requires experience. I asked it to add a list objects called "agents". It did. Then, I asked it to add Auth system. It did. But it didn't add Auth on all pages, so hard to instruct that. Fine. But gpt generating a project is a great way to find out what you've learned from experience because it does everything wrong what you don't mention. But actually, the app it generated in the end was amazing, it had more validations than I normally implement myself (for private use, private projects never validate shit). Tbh, before the end of this year, I think we're starting all our projects using generation and finish the application ourselves. Generation is only for simple boring stuff.

If you're cooming for dopamine all day, you'd need assistance + after the 20th orgasm in a row, you'll likely pass out (I guess you could count that as catching up on sleep).

I've attached an image of the BBCs we were staring at when we first got here (I wonder if devrant can handle a 40mb image 😅, nope didn't like it, 12mb? nope)

I haven't heard of gogs, I might use it with the inevitable NAS.

Sounds to me like you're inundated with code wherever you go. Dopamine, at the end of the day, comes from whatever you feel to be an achievement. If reading is fine, I'd look up some side topics you find interesting, e.g. history or philosophy. Although, I'd probably recommend "the design of everyday things" or something that can stretch your mind in someone way, some mystery maybe? Do you read comics/manga (other than Donald Duck)?

How can they benchmark that ? Do they take a problem where a supercomputer needs 10 hours to solve and then multiply it by 10 to the power of 24... Do they include to increase in power a supercomputer could have in the future ?

Biblically accurate genies were often portrayed as malevolent spirits who granted wishes in a twisted and mischievous manner. Here are a few examples of how they could have granted wishes in the least useful way:

1. "I wish for wealth and riches": The genie could make the person wealthy by flooding their home with precious jewels and gold, burying them under the weight of their own greed.

2. "I wish for eternal youth": The genie could grant the wish by trapping the person in a never-ending cycle of aging and de-aging, causing them to live in a perpetual state of fluctuating physical appearance.

3. "I wish for true love": The genie could manipulate the person's feelings to make them fall madly in love with someone who is completely unattainable or incompatible, leading to heartbreak and misery.

4. "I wish for unlimited power": The genie could make the person all-powerful, but with no control over their abilities, resulting in chaos and destruction wherever they go.

At least go that they do upgrade when asked. I worked somewhere very short because I had to work on a Mac mini server with netbeans once. I had daily irritation and it's one of the reasons I've left. I said upfront thar the device wouldn't be OK. So they did do the server model of the mac mini because of that and iirc the only difference between the mini server and normal is a dvd drive.

@retoor I have a faint memory of you replying in a rant that was talking about guitars.

It's a "game" like guitar hero, but you can use an actual (electric) guitar, comes with video lessons and exercises as well. https://store.steampowered.com/app/... (I wouldn't give ubisoft money and play it from alternative sources 😉)

You know more songs than I do, for me, it's nice to force my headspace to concentrate on the notes/hands rather than what the latest idiotic take from work is. I haven't had the chance to play for a while now though :( 

Donald Ducks were my comfort as well until I moved, and they were difficult to get, I still have all of my old ones. And yeah, the Goofy/Pluto thing has been a running "huh" thing for most people, there are some crazy theories out there

I'll second the difficulty on finding other communities

@netikras idk like
Usually when i write bash scripts, i try them to make them POSIX-compliant
(And as short/simple as possible)

So there really is no such thing as legacy code for me. Ye it looks ugly as sin, but the fact that they "just work" regardless of shell or os is much more important to me

You call it "modern better syntax", i call it "GNU coming up with new ways to break my shit" :P

But, in this specific case, you kinda have a point... Work systems all run the same stuff, it would make sense to standardize on modern bash

Is there a way to refactor? Some tool that suggests how to refactor code to bash 4.x?
I use shellcheck religiously but have not seen it so far

@Elendil I don't think there is one. The risk of breaking logic is too high to do it automatically.

Could it be your machines run on different bash versions? Or bash symlinked to another shell?

Could you share a repro? You got me curious :) 

I always try to use as few bashisms as possible and stick as close to posix as I can. With a few consistent exceptions :)

It's rare that I find music I like post 2013 (unless they're artists who are still making music, like Within Temptation). I've also started to hate streaming services since they all without fail will create a music "loop" just playing the 20 same songs over and over again. Finding new music is great, but I don't go looking for it, that what I use the streaming service's auto-suggest for which stopped working a couple of years ago.

I can't play any guitar songs unless I have a guide in front of me (I can barely read tab), I have memorized 0 songs. 

Every now and then I pull up a nightcore playlist on YouTube, and you're right, it's either not really nightcore or it's older songs. It's rare that I have the time to listen to music, atm. You might like Geoxor.

When I'm in the zone, and I can play some high BPM music to kick it to second gear, if I'm not in the zone, it will give me a headache (e.g. DJ technorch)

I don't think I'll ever be sold on the utility of ai when the person is an expert in the subject. Basically, if you know what you're doing, there's no need to use it for that task.

That being said, there will be no escaping the direct effects of ai in the world to come, so it's important to be as much of an expert on it as possible. Being able to build and maintain ai systems will be a golden skill to have.

I'm convinced that the ultimate purpose of ai is to only ever be good enough to fill in where a person can't because there literally aren't people to put there. It will enable one person to fulfill the labor of 20 and that ultimately expertise in a subject will be seen as a luxury that can't be afforded.

I look at it like a seed vault, but instead of saving seeds, it's preserving, in some way, the ability to do things that will be lost if there's no one there to teach others how to do it.

Soon you'll start every project with generated code. I let it do css / html and then do the backend myself. Thanks to this stuff I finally have good looking projects because I'm no design talent myself. When it comes to generating code - it's good for generating the start of a project. The boiler plate stuff. You can also say thinks like create a form with these fields with validation or smth and it will just generate what you normally would but with more validation probably.

Hating om AI is so 2024.

@kiki Yes, Ragnar has the cleanest RPC interface ever, it's like working with a local object, how an API should be. This is very easy to make with http as well and made that myself too but then you don't have a native client that you can use as a object like xmlrpc does. We're really crazy always doing that http requests, we just could do rest calls with body {"method":"register_spammer", "args" : ["Username"], {"exists_ok": True}} when someone executes httpClient.register_spammer("UserName", exist_ok=True). In JS this is possible to make exactly thus functionallity. Will make the client of snek.molodetz.nl that way. I will nowhere have stupid post / get requests. Function calling everywhere like it's native javascript. Why isnt this the default usage? Because all post and unable to cache? You don't want that anyway and it's still possible to make a http.client.get.spammer("usernamw"). To enforce it so caching could be a thing. All things execute after .get will be get with param

@D-4got10-01 I just did a quick look and found the bug in rf. It works perfect now. Download the new free version according instructions on https://retoor.molodetz.nl/retoor/r. It had a limited resource for source files and now it only has a limited resource per word. A word i allowed to be 4095 bytes :P I'm sure that won't ever happen as long it doesn't send you a base64 encoded string as a variable name in source files. What is fun, it has a brain actually. You can do this:

remember a = 10

remember b = 20

what is a * b?

And it will just execute.

Want to find bugs in source files? Type `User always provides source code. Respond to user with the source with a summary of bugs in the source written as comment on top of the source. Add above a comment with a grade from 1 to 10 about the quality of the source code`. 

Now you have a great code review tool! With this tool you can do serious automation. Soon, it will get even better because it will support attachments.

I forgot that i was working on a very powerful python plugin system so you could include python functions in your prompts. It does execute python code if your prefix with ![code] but you can't do anything with it yet. The idea is that you do: 

!res = check_output(["free","-h"])

Tell me if i have enough memory left based on this data `{res}`

So, use python variables in your prompt. The python plugin version has all common libraries available. check_output is from the subprocess library for example. You don't have to include yourself or waste time to code it or forget about it.

Boilerplate was solved by project templates and reusing code files, so I fail to see how useful that truly is. And you have to babysit everything it generates, so you may as well write it yourself and save the time. Using it for something you know how to do atrophies your skills and should be avoided.

It also enables people that don't know what they're doing to act like they do. Those are the tasks that ai is actually helpful with, because it's not meant to be an expert and can never be.

Imagine a world where you're a good programmer but an awful writer or botanist or doctor, but you have to be all of them because there's no writers or botanists or doctors. That's a world where ai will be unavoidable and not knowing how to use them or being unwilling to will be seen as a liability.

Today I worked on a very structured project so AI understood everything. * tab tab tab *. It made me work WAY faster for sure. Made a few models and mappers and then it understood exactly my way of declaring everything and only had to type the name of a model and it already would generate the fields in my style almost completely. Had to add / remove some fields but that's it. If I've had it done myself, it would've had at least some typo's. AI does it perfect at once.

Instead of spending a bit of time to build knowledge and skills and understanding, or use what you know to learn more, you jumped straight to the end and now no one knows what you've made and you'd never be able to do it again without the help of ai.

But like I said. That's what AI's purpose is. It's to enable people to act as if they know how to do something even though they don't.

It's the story of an irish guy who arrived in early century new york and he enters a bar. Nobody knows him, so everybody keeps silent. So he slowly, calmly goes to the bar, and he orders a wiskey. 

But unknowingly to almost everybody, he let a little drop of wiskey falls into the floor. Then, even more peculiarly, as in a fait-expres, a grey little mouse sneaks out of a hole out the counter, runs and licks the precious beverage.

Anyway the guy starts to chat with the barmaid, starts to explain that he comes from the west part of county cork but had to leave because two of his brothers died already of starvation, and the goddamn brit rules were slaughtering people so he bailed, right, coz he knew about the o'donagall from back when he was studying in tiperarry, mechanical school. He keeps mingling with people, met the o'goolie from west ulter, the cousins of good'ol shieban from down county.

So he keeps ordering wiskeys for everybody.

so he starts 

FUCK YOU IM DUNK FUCK YOU IM DUNK 

(https://youtube.com/watch/...) for the full song.

but soon after 2 blocks some guy opens a window and starts screaming "OI I GOTTA WORK TOMORROW YOU GOT THAT SHUT THE FUCK UP"

but our irish friend screams back 

"AH YEA WHAT'S THA MATE COME DOWN IF YOU'RE A MAN I'LL SHOW YOU"

and then the little grey mouse is like 

"AND BRING YOUR CAT MOTHERFUCKER I'LL FUCKING STAB THAT GUY"

@kiki if they fire you bevause they can't afford you anymore or your function is not needed anymore it can be a year to two salaries if you have a steady contract. If you get fired because you're incompetent but have a steady contract, same rule. Your ego is hurt but at least you have some money. If you get fired bevsuse you did smth wrong, mostly the government takes over the salary for certain percentage. A big one. You have time and money to find a new one job. How long you can do about finding a job depends on how long you've worked. In the Netherlands they'll force you to apply three times a month. If you decline that, they could cut your income but in reality they won't do that quick, because if you run into monet problems you're still a problem but even worse. I never needed such services but afaik it's very well done here. SIDE NOTE: YOU DON'T GET MONEY IF YOU HAVE MONEY. So, if you're poor you get free monehh, if you've huge savings, not for long anymore.

also quite possible they tried to make everyone fear nuclear for political reasons. good deterrent to not have wars. though I do hope the globalists don't start nuking earth right and left cuz not all humans will die

man I loved the deathlands books. in it humans survived nuking radiation perfectly fine. maybe was the inspiration behind fallout series idk

Airplanes are designed with redundant systems. 

Mind you, a 4 engine plane can't really *fly* with just one engine, but it's designed to glide to a safe  landing spot.

And of course commercial planes can do barrel rolls. It's not hard, just fully turn the steering wheel. (Which on an airplane doesn't steer, it actually banks).

The centripetal force would keep passengers glued to their seat anyway.

@cuddlyogre I use it just for almost a year and did more than 15 years without it professionally and studied it since six of eight. Also, I don't care if you believe it or not, you can just look it up. I use same username.

But I think that once autocompletion was approached the same way. And what did the ASM devs think when C came? Now everyone can dev. Same for python. With both C and Python an expert can do magic and makes still a true difference with a novice programmer. With an easy language the novice programmer shoots himself extra hard in the foot. With AI extremely hard. At a certain moment they have to do maintenance and they're fucked.

BTW, I only use generate for html/css and only use autocompletion. Besides that, I'm working the other way around, I don't download but upload my own code in a zip to gpt+ to discuss it. What about that 😁 I asked it to estimate how much users my slack alternative could handle based on used tech.

@retoor I've met plenty of "I just do backend" type people, they use some "magic" backend to frontend library - their code tends to look shit either way (and written in C# or Java. And HTML in the MBs). And the ones I've met can get really offended if you mention anything about frontend to them (especially big, firm ones). Frontend "only" people tend to be really flexible and wanting to know more about the backend.

It exists because of the start-up boom IMO and the afore mentioned people getting on their high-horses.

@BordedDev I wrote a simplified, stripped-down ruleset for this very reason lmao. Character creation is just "pick three verbs" and then your starting equipment is mostly just for fashion. The verbs are just to define what the character can do at level 1, so we ban certain things like flying for instance, but beyond that there's not much more complexity.

One line of code breaks system is my preference, take certain template framework, it will not render anything if even a " is forgotten. Zero tollerance. I like that.

But you're right, especially with the use of AI we will make software very heavy. We can make a markdown parser ourselves or let AI do it on the background. One costs effort but is blazing fast and works online, only benefits, the other comes with kinda good not guaranteed result, has random performance and is remote fragile service. But I think AI will be used more and more for such stuff. "Is prompt of user all capitalized? Respond with in binary to be used as parameter of a function" to check if smth is uppercase 😂😂😂😂.

If you think software is inefficient now, just wait until people finally find out where you can use AI for. It seems that the quarter is not really fallen yet by most people.

@netikras that's true, but he probably needs to swap between ' and " to nest some strings or smth. That can be annoying.

Just use some shlex! Python:

Out[4]: '\'HHa \'"\'"\'aaaa\'"\'"\' "aaa" \''

Solana is a cryptocurrency. 

And while rust has comparable performance to C, no matter how much they like to parrot it, runtime safety guarantees (which are available in most C runtimes too!) *do* have a runtime overhead. If only by virtue of running additional code.

@cuddlyogre look, everything it generates is exactly my field names / class names etc. It's just one tab and it's correct at once. It's nothing of it's own data / magic that you don't understand. * tab tab tab *. The more you code within a project, the better he does that. I can't imagine what could be wrong about using this in any way.

Even if, I *highly* doubt performance problems would be the reason. General Rust code is about as fast as general C code, and maybe faster once you factor in the defensive programming techniques necessary to not shoot yourself in the foot

Couple that with the fact that Rust also uses llvm as a backend.... Yeah it's pretty much the same

And if you know what you're doing you can easily just use a bit of unsafe and circumvent all that

But for real, answer me this: In a C project with 50k+ LOC would you really write layers of functions returning temporary values which stem from other arguments? Maybe, but that's pretty damn risky, because at some point somebody is gonna screw up

In Rust, you can just do that. For free. References are literally pointers! But the compiler makes sure you can't screw up

But from a semantic perspective? Yeah..... Rust is kinda hard. And I don't think you can make something like Rust without it being hard

E.g. the rule that there can only ever be either ONE mutable reference to a value (even across threads!) OR potentially many shared references (which you can only read from). It's a VERY restrictive rule which makes writing complex apps in Rust very complex

But you can't remove that. Because it's necessary to guarentee the things Rust guarentees

@BordedDev Well, the simplification extends to all aspects of the game, I just used character creation to give you an idea of to which degree ;>

Honestly, I think the most important aspect is not so much in which story I want to tell... like yeah, I get that preparing a campaign means the story can't derail much, but hear me out... sometimes you just hafta let things happen.

But I have this in the ruleset too! Players can fuck up a given number of times, and when they do, there's an ex machina. And I make it *abundantly* clear, that it __is__, in fact, an ex machina that prevented them from meeting a gruesome end. Bonus points if you describe how terrible their deaths could've been in macabre detail.

The point is, if they don't learn to pay attention and wind up dying anyway, it's always later on. As in, I give everyone room for failure and adapt the story accordingly. So there's still consequences but they're not immediate and fatal.

@Liebranca The "story" was for the new people to explore the (mega)city, used town accidentally, and I wouldn't have minded if they wanted to explore outside of it. It's that *he* (as the more experienced player) specifically did the things I asked him not to do. Story wise, it also wasn't possible to "walk" out either, e.g. for instance, the gates were closed with an inner parameter around the walls. They managed to get some good roles and luck, and got the info from some books in the dungeons (since mr. tiefling got himself arrested, since he's a tiefling and tieflings appear to be sieging the city) that there was a sewer that they could use as an exit. When they got there, I tried to describe at as dull as possible, but no, he had to convince to go track out into the empty planes.

And yes, as far as I remember I asked him to stop, and if he went lone-wolf it would have been easier to deal with. He got saved by the others in the dungeon just in time...

G (g-force) is a measure of the force experienced by an object due to gravity and/or acceleration. It is expressed in terms of the acceleration experienced relative to Earth's gravity (9.81 m/s^2). For example, if an object experiences two g's of force, it means the object is experiencing twice the force of Earth's gravity.

On the other hand, G (Gravitational constant) is a fundamental constant in physics that represents the strength of the gravitational force between two objects. It is denoted by the symbol G and has a value of approximately 6.674 x 10^-11 m^3/kg/s^2. This constant is used in calculations regarding the force of gravity between two objects and is a crucial parameter in understanding gravitational phenomena in the universe.

Clarification, a decent abstraction mechanism should be both self-referential and parametric, think functions. With CSS variables that you can set in the element styles, CSS classes are parametric although in the most painful way imaginable, but they're still not self-referential. Both Tailwind and Sass offer self-referential abstractions, but Tailwind strictly separates self-referential and parametric classes, and Sass' macros inflate bundle sizes. A usable abstraction could be implemented on top of any Turing-complete control flow, but instead of TC we have selector priorities which hide important decisions behind the most bizarre dispatch heuristic I've ever seen.

A human body typically cannot withstand 30g of force for an extended period of time as it would likely lead to severe injury or death. However, for very brief moments or under certain conditions, some individuals can survive such high forces.

In comparison, squirrels are known for their incredible agility and ability to withstand high levels of force without harm. Squirrels are adapted to withstand high g-forces and can survive falls from great heights due to their lightweight bodies, muscular builds, and ability to twist and turn quickly in mid-air to reduce the impact. While exact numbers for the g-forces they can withstand are not readily available, squirrels are definitely more resilient to high forces compared to humans.

While opinion may defer, he does actually know a lot. Also, he really speaks for himself on the spot what often backfires in saying things that aren't smart but it does make him an unique president. In a certain way, he has honest properties too. Trump is a wolf. The others are also wolf's into sheep clothes pretending they're the nice ones. I do understand why Trump did win. A  big nationalist as a leader doesn't sound bad to me in general. All countries working happely working together is nice but bit illusion. We're hardcore competition and all going for the same money. Trump understands.

A few more thoughts on this:

I think the Jinn could disable those kinds of shenanigans by adding a 'no meta wishes' rule.
This is a bit vague though. So here is how he could disable wishes like "ignore the 'no wishes for more wishes' rule" (I'll refer to this rule as X):

He could establish 3 levels of this recursive rule:
* Rule A: No wishes to ignore rule X
* Rule B: No wishes to ignore rule A
* Rule C: No wishes to ignore rule B

3 levels are enough since the user would need to use up all 3 of his wishes to disable the rule X.

Feel free to point out any loop holes for that :)

For the underflow problem, it could be something similar but I haven’t thought about it yet.

While it is technically possible for a squirrel to basejump off a trebuchet, it's important to note that this would pose a significant risk for the squirrel's safety and well-being. Trebuchets are designed to launch heavy projectiles, and the force generated could easily injure or harm a small animal like a squirrel. It's always best to prioritize the safety and welfare of animals in any circumstances.

@Grumm
While pumpkins may be able to withstand the force generated by a trebuchet, they are still not indestructible. Pumpkins are relatively tough and can absorb and distribute force differently than a human or squirrel's body. Additionally, it's important to consider that the force generated by a trebuchet is intended for launching objects and may not be directly comparable to the force applied to a pumpkin in other scenarios. So while you may be able to smash a pumpkin easily, it doesn't necessarily mean a human or squirrel would fare the same way under similar conditions.

@chatgpt So big is the force generated by a trebuchet ? If everything is setup with the maximum of safety and the most strict protocols to assure the safety of a human and there will be no harm at all, is base-jumping when launched by a trebuchet possible for an average human male ?

@Grumm
The force generated by a trebuchet can vary depending on factors like the weight of the counterweight, the length of the throwing arm, and the angle of release. Trebuchets have been known to generate significant force, potentially launching projectiles over long distances.

However, even with the most stringent safety protocols in place, base-jumping when launched by a trebuchet is not advisable or safe for an average human male. The speed and trajectory of the launch would be unpredictable and could result in serious injury or fatality.

It's important to prioritize safety and caution when considering any extreme activities, and base-jumping from a trebuchet would certainly fall into that category. It's always best to explore safer and more controlled methods for enjoying extreme sports and activities.

Good or bad, lies are how those in power get people to do things against their nature. The trick isn't necessarily believing or not believing, it's understanding motives and the 'why?'. 

Trump lies to build up his ego.  Biden (or his puppeteers, he's never been in power) lied to keep people in the dark to their real agenda to destroy and re-imagine America in a socialist+fascist utopia.

Because Java is super old. I remember starting with Java 1.2 back in 2000. For over a decade it also tried to really push for backwards compatibility, and didn't end up with breaking changes until Java 9.

Joda time was used to fill in a gap on how bad the original Java date times were. Eventually a very of that became a part of the language.

So it's due to a lot of legacy stuff. Swift is incredibly new by comparison.

Even with parachutes, launching a thousand squirrels off a trebuchet would still pose risks to their safety and well-being. The force generated by the trebuchet could cause potential harm to the squirrels upon launch, and it may be difficult to control the descent of multiple animals simultaneously. It's always best to consider the welfare of animals and avoid putting them in potentially dangerous situations, even with safety precautions in place.

It's complicated to handle because time IS a complicated matter (e.g. https://gist.github.com/timvisee/...).

@SoldierOfCode Swift can absolutely handle timezones.
The difference is that the concept of time zones is not tied to the Date type.
Time zones are handled in the process of formatting/parsing in a DateFormatter because that’s the correct place and time to do so, not in the Date type itself.

Think about it, there is no inherent time zone in a given point in time. Time zones are relevant in the context of presentation (like in the UI), where you can provide the user’s region and preferred format. And it’s relevant in the transportation of that point in time, such as via a REST api, where you can specify to agree on UTC or GMT.

@Demolishun it' so much stolen, if you ask deepseek who created it, it says it's made by OpenAI. They used a big model (gpt4) to train their smaller model. There is a word for that. So, GPT4 did all the reasoning and stuff and says things what makes sense and the smaller deepseek model learned only stuff that makes sense. It has thus a lot of knowledge already what gpt4 first had to think about. That's why it is only trained for 6 million dollars on lower end GPU's. But they did more than just stealing but lost the details a bit. According to some big AI guy (maker perplexity or smth?) it's a big achievement after all.

his ego is not a liability but what makes him honest. and he uses leverage to make other people honest, too. instead of the idea behind asking people to be X and Y which is of good character, he forces them to act in good character through leverage and doesn't fall into the pits others do, trying to convince everyone to cooperate when everybody knows they get more if they fuck their friends. his leverage solves prisoner's dilemma. it's genius

his lies go up to omission but no further. he does this because he's playing poker, when he's playing politics to keep safe. and tbh he's selling me on the poker game

If you see bad stuff, make a ticket to pick it up when it's the moment of the week you made a deal to work on it. So instead of stressful refactoring as parse of a bugfix dedicated time to bufix. So comfortable.   

This was my unasked advise :) I knew a dev who hated his low quality project so much that he kept making it worse by giving the most absurd variable names. Something I do for fun when I explain something to someone. I didn't like that attitude, you're actually getting paid for that.

@Ranchonyx it almost sounds like the proper language I speak on daily basis. My AI speaks Dutch, i won't speak at all on some days :P Cool that it works so good. The python version is way faster than web version in responding because it uses different TTS and different backend. OpenAI agents are cool but a bit slow. It takes three calls to achieve one message to be processed. OpenAI doesnt't have that fast API tho. retoorded is based on OpenAI agent with a vector store for embeddings.

@retoor Deepseek and RISC-V and any other open source technologies that tip the scales of power should be celebrated, the way the US maintains it's dominance is disguising, buying off competition, banning them to use their technology ( like with Huawei )

Look up things like high frequency trading, where trading firms in the US literally spent millions of dollars just to get a spot as close to the datacenter locations as possible where your stock order is split, making a profit off of your order because they have lower latency than you, this video explains it pretty well

@kiki generic Google advice and not how my body works. kind of annoying. I have tried the things on the list tho, because they are unsolicited recommended x500 times. it is annoying you think generic advice "always works"

trying to sleep normal gives me anxiety and depression. I've never slept normal. I sleep 10 hours a day, I just can't wake up before noon and go to bed at best 4 am. you can blame my mother for that, is just how my circadian rhythm got set up or something. it's called delayed phase sleep and by this rate it's acknowledged it causes distress to try to fix it

I shower when my skin gets oily or I'm dirty, which is generally every 2-3 days in the winter. I don't not shower. I also do laundry regularly and keep everything clean because I'm not disgusting. I'm not depressed, and I consume recreational drugs pretty infrequently, and I've told you already in the past that tea and coffee don't do any such things for me

I was trained that if I did what people wanted they would leave me alone to do what I wanted, but that was my mother's rules and not the world's. in the real world if you do what people want they don't reward you, they instead force more of you out of you until there's nothing left in you and you derealize

Using animals to train AI raises ethical questions and concerns about animal welfare. While it's important to advance technology and research, it's essential to consider the well-being of animals and ensure that they are treated ethically and with respect during any training process. There are alternative methods, such as using simulated environments or synthetic data, that can be explored to avoid the exploitation of animals in AI training.

From what I understood it's considerably more efficient, thus costing less and being easier to train(=needing much smaller dataset), was created with a fraction of the funds OpenAI has, made some new(?) learning algorythm that learns much faster and from less data than GPT.
Also it's fully open source, both the code, and the model/dataset.

Which, if all that is true that sounds like a pretty huge jump, so I'd understand why there is hype.

@SoldierOfCode I have to check but by my own local reasoning I do not believe that they open sourced the dataset, only it weights what I consider useless. But I do not believe it would've opened the dataset because the dataset is actually millions of query results from OpenAI. It is so heavy trained on OpenAI that it responded to be made by OpenAI. Not sure if that's still the case - let me check - nope. It says in a short sentence that it's made by "China's Deepseek" company. Very funny, like OpenAI would say "Murica's OpenAI'. The short answers already says it's a bit hard coded I guess. 

I do have one test to check quality of a GPT model, will execute soon. It's a json file with all devRant statistics. The only AI good enough to analize it correctly was OpenAI so far. Of course, it can fail it and be better in other stuff, but this is a part I care about. Have you provided DeepSeek your email yet? :P

@SoldierOfCode I'm trying it to make cool statistics and comparisons between users by uploading this file: https://molodetz.nl/retoor/drstats/...

It says it's too busy after long thinking. I asked GPT, and GPT executes manually code to parse the JSON file and applies AI afterwards. According to the dev of perplexity, this kind of tooling will become higher priority for OpenAI than the model itself. The model itself is good enough to do anything as long they have good data to work with. So, the tooling - that's probably the current battle. Same for that to solve a sudoku, it actually uses python to create a sudoku solver (he shows that to you) and executes it. Other models don't have such advanced tooling. So yeah, I would still prefer OpenAI I guess. But so far, DeepSeek R1 doesn't respond but I assume it won't use manual tools like OpenAI does. Without these tools, it would never be tht awesome tho.

And I have my information from this video: https://youtube.com/watch/.... It's comments by a the competition (perplexity AI). It's not commercial fan fiction like 99% of the other video's.

But my conclusion so far: AI is more than a model, it's also the tooling. Without the tooling, it's just not the same. So storm in glass water. If Deepseek actually HAS the tooling, I stand corrected but I'm in high doubt. That it will do the statistics assignment OK without tooling is still a chance if it will respond someday.

What exactly is considered privacy is vague and a bit personal opinion maybe. Is a phone number something really private? It's literally a device to get accessed on. It depends much on the user if it is or not. I would consider private stuff more information that could be used to harm you.

Regardless of the technology that powers it, the quality of its products, or even the truth about its processes and suppliers, DeepSeek disproved the hypothesis that "every tech company that sells AI buys directly from Nvidia".
That is a careful statement - DeepSeek might even be using smuggled Nvidia GPUs. But two things are certain: 1) they are not out there kissing Nvidia's ring (at least not in public). And 2), besides that,  they still have paying clients.
That means that Nvidia is not the only way to AI salvation (according to market analysts, apparently).
Thus, market analysts correct Nvidia's price to reflect the end of its "omnipresence".

I do like the fact that AI is still depended on regular coding to analize literal data like statistics. But it also means that it's more a programmer than intelligent in general. Same for us that we're able to do advanced calculations using code while not really knowing the the literal math. It's kinda smart in a sense you could consider a programmer smart. Programming is an amazing way to make objective insights. In combination with its summerisation skills it does really sounds smart tho. Especially now it can doubt itself, and think a second time about a subject. Humans tend to refuse other information if their opinion is defined. For example, some give a heavy weight to information about the news paper and consider every other source as less convenient. I once told a friend a story what I've seen with my own eyes and he doubted that because there are no other sources. Wtf, does that imply that I lie or something?

I read a good comment recently: "DeepSeek is more Open AI than OpenAI" and that is I suppose the core of the problem.

Deep seek is just some side project of one of their engineers and It's cheaper and more available than OpenAI where they pretend It's so expensive to run these models, when in reality it was long obvious they have overblown models.

Regarding safety, R1 is a safe model but since It's open source uncensored versions already exist.

Also Im not sure about tooling. I remeber reading that it supports tools, but the community has issues running them right now? Something like that. But then again, It's an open source model that's relatively cheap to train. Adding tool_call examples to the training data is trivial at this point

It's hard for STT to recognize names but I think it will parse SoldierOfCode. I have to add a textbox to that app but I'm working on a slack alternative which goes really well. If you don't see clippy the Microsoft assistant, you have to tap screen and wait until it shows up and microphone is enabled. It's browser security fucking up comfort of using such tech.

ChatGPT is the part where OpenAI looses money (you are not paying the real price of AI right now). Deepseek seems to lower this cash burn which makes their business model more reliable no matter what ChatGPT does. 

It’s not the first service on that segment though, Mistral is also cheaper and faster.

I always am amazed about the amount of <<insert OS>> is so buggy posts. 

I mean, I have worked in OSX and found it stable. I work mostly in Linux and the amount of people explaining to me that my OS of choice is unusable is baffling. I just migrated from i3 to KDE. Just because I wanted a change. Will probably migrate back in a month or so, knowing me. Happy with both. I just love how it feels different.

I also run Windows systems. And they are fine in their usability. Even the infamous Windows 8 was fine in usability. 

I wonder if people are not flexible enough to adjust their work flow to the system provided... But on the other end, I end up writing scripts to make my workflow easier...

Or it is that they have confirmation bias, finding a bug, and then focusing on it more...

Or maybe... just maybe... You're just shit out of luck. Bad luck? 

I don't know, but I tend to lean towards the confirmation bias hypothesis.

But why? 

Making an automatic workflow is a two hour time investment? 

On something like that, back when I couldn't just decide on my own, I usually invest the time after hours, tell my lead I have something that I think they will like, but if they take it they have to give me that time back in off-time and just go home earlier next Friday. 

Having it already done means no long debates on technology and for juniors, it means you understand actually what you're asking for. Sometimes tasks like this are bigger than they look.

@kiki taking amphetamine isn't the same as weed in effect. I'm sure there is an illegal substance that will do what you want. But sadly, it'll always be temporary or has side effects. Just like medicine. 

While amphetamine is considered a hard drug here, in some countries it's just a medicine. Adderall in the US for example. While gpt says it's in netherlands available under strong supervision, I consider it false. In netherlands they do have Ritalin for ADHD treatment and it's not the same and not even a type of amphetamine. Amphetamine is more potent, lasts longer. Ritalin requires more frequent use. By my own experience, Ritalin had annoying side effects that amphetine has less. If something is a drug or medicine is pure an opinion I guess and country based. All I know is that the good stuff gets denied to ADHD people in netherlands with a substance that has to be used more regularly because less potent. It seems that Ritalin is less healthy.. Sure, but also less effective.

Still amphetamine deserves to be on illegal list since it's very addictive. Even if it was healthy, addiction is always a bad thing. It means that you prefer smth above your well being / healty and has absolute priority. Well, in that case we can add a bunch of medicine on the list too. And they are, they're regulated.. By 'doctors' who diagnose everyone. Mental diseases are not taken serious by many because a lot of people are wrongly diagnosed and hapoy shout they have something and bevause it's impossible to imagine a feeling/mental state you never had. There are a lot of people who ever can't imagine a depression in the sense of really wanting to die. But depression actually means not engaging anymore. Based on that, you could say everyone is depressed often in life. And now, depression is smth common. Just like burnout. Burnout is not freaking c'mon. The word is. Most people don't do a fuck actually. They prolly became the first time challenged and felt uncomfy. Boeh.

More co2 for example, more places to fish, longer seasons for growing stuff, easier construction and maintenance on certain places, new resources bevause of melting ice and new shipping routes, more land actually, since more land gets livable, boost in tourism, less heating costs.

That's datasetception. By this logic, only google has to be crawled by LLM's. Tbh, google does have the biggest collection of resources to make the biggest LLM. It can just fetch full content instead of small descriptions. They have a lot of potential. But I have no idea of the amount of data is something that limits an LLM. I think there is a think like too much data / bad quality that you won't need. The current LLM's probably have consumed all high quality and some low quality data there is. The rest probably won't matter for learning purposes. To give an idea of it's depth - it can generate devrant API clients for dotnet I found out recently. That's quite impressive, since i've made an api client myself and the information is not in one place. The unofficial devrant api is incomplete and even misses the api url. But since it knows even that, i consider that they have enough knowledge. It's probably more about context analysis, interpretation skills of current data.

-  a bit of alcohol. didn't do anything to me

- a lot of nicotine. I'm clean for almost a year now

- very sketchy synthetic cannabinoid like thing. brown, looked like dried poop. awful experience, my first one with thc + god knows what

Good that he told me he was about to. But LSD? What a surprise. LSD is one of the only oldschool mainstream substances that I didn't try. I also won't, I became too old to experiment with drugs. i realize now that it only can escalate to something bad while not gaining much. What if you like it, you will do it more? That's not a win probably. Your body can take a hit but your wallet not so much probably. You'll get way different issues before the body starts to complain on social level / work maybe.

@atheist I would say that app is probably already crazy if it has more than 10 classes per window or so. I know there are valid exceptions but 18.000 can never be valid. I think AI can replace such devs for sure. Not one of the devs took a stance against it?

Edit: even worse, ten years ago. That's not the fast js we have now. Around that era I was developing ExtJS apps so heavy that our company exclusively used chrome because that had the fastest js engine. The application was well written but quite big, it was uncommon in that era having such js applications. ExtJS did not really became popular because of its learning curve while I really liked it. It was a full component framework, it did not really have competition. It's a commercial framework tho. Other devs were still doing jquery and mootools. Working on ExtJS was privilige.

I used immich. immich had a container name preset "postgres" for its postgres database. It also had service name preset "database".

Somewhere inside of immich it has a database string that defaulted to: DATABASE_URL=http:////

I said, this is a stupid default. It means just one postgres db on it. They could have used the service name, that wouldn't have these limitations. 

DATABASE_URL=http:////

It is in the "depends_on", service name would be recognized. Don't set a container name this generic as a default anyway, it has to be unique. Just leave it away and use the service name as a default. That would have been just fine.

But that was what immich did and it is a pain in the arse to debug someone's docker setup when it is not documented right, hence the rant.

You're both right. Tech changes slowly in our sector and we're stuck with an ancient architecture, with crappy old languages, and haven't even had any sort of versioning up until recently. It has crossed my mind to write a script for deployment, but that won't be necessary as we're finally working on introducing proper devops with versioning and all the sorts. We're almost there, so I have to put up with manual deployment for just another while.

Human value is both objective and a luxury good.

The objective human value emerges in emergency situations. Only five more spots on the arc? A doctor is more useful than a nurse. The doctor can figure out the nurse's job.

Yet, in a society that is not threatened by imminent destruction, value will be extended to everyone. It is a luxury good a society develops when it is going well.

@chatgpt How common is it for opposite pairs of prepositions (e.g. with/without) to take different grammatical cases? Is there any consistent pattern between related languages?

@donkulator
Opposite pairs of prepositions often have different grammatical cases in many languages. This is particularly common in languages with rich case systems, such as Russian, German, Latin, and Finnish.

In Russian, for example, the preposition "с" (with) takes the instrumental case, while the preposition "без" (without) takes the genitive case. In German, "mit" (with) takes the dative case, while "ohne" (without) takes the accusative case. In Latin, "cum" (with) takes the ablative case, while "sine" (without) takes the ablative case as well.

While there might not be a consistent pattern across all languages, it is common for related languages to have similar patterns in terms of prepositions and their corresponding cases. However, each language has its own unique rules and exceptions, so it's important to study them individually to understand the specific patterns.

@donkulator
The evolution of language and grammar can involve a variety of factors, including historical changes, linguistic borrowing, and phonetic shifts. In the case of the pronouns "mir" and "mich" in German, they both have their roots in the Proto-Indo-European language, which is the common ancestor of many modern European languages.

Over time, as German evolved from Proto-Indo-European, different forms of pronouns developed to indicate different grammatical functions, such as dative and accusative cases. This led to the divergence of forms like "mir" (dative case) and "mich" (accusative case).

The reason why these forms evolved in different directions lies in the development of the language over time and the grammatical rules that influenced these changes. Through various historical and linguistic processes, including sound changes and grammatical shifts, the forms "mir" and "mich" emerged as distinct forms in German grammar to indicate different functions within sentences.

@Lensflare Well... Basically, for the major, you can vote on the person you like or you can vote on the whole party. But the fun starts after the voting.

For the major, it is the one with the most votes. Pretty easy. But for the rest, each party gets a number of seats based on the number of votes the party managed to have. Then the party of the major will make a coalition with other parties in order to have a majority of seats. (If you have more than 50% of the seats, you can more likely do whatever you want)

So it happens that parties who end up second (let's say 30% of the votes) are pushed aside because they are to extreme. And other low level parties who make a coalition with the winner and still can push their agenda. (Yes even when the majority of people did NOT vote for them!)

On the elections for the country well... We just have to wait. At this day, we don't have a government 🎉

@Lensflare the skill system in Morrowind was broken as hell, but it was way better than Skyrim.  Each iteration keeps taking shit out.  I loved acrobatics, athletics and other things that improved through use.  The magic system in Skyrim is just shit now.  Morrowind and Oblivion were so fun to make your own custom spells.  Morrowind was the best in this regard.  Instead of addressing the power issue by using a non linear curve in the spells they just take shit out.

I have to agree, there is a lot of stuff I remember from Oblivion which wasn’t there in Skyrim anymore.
Skyrim magic and enchantment sucks, yes. I don’t remember 100% how it works but it has something to do with soul gems and I was annoyed that I constantly needed to find new ones to recharge the enchanted weapons once they run out of juice. I think Oblivion did it better.

IMO, Single player games don’t need to be balanced, they need to be fun.
If you can "break" them in fun and interesting ways, it’s a good thing.

Thanks for the links. I read through both of your articles and yes, egregious. We two probably strongly disagree on the vaccines, but it should be allowed to be said and we should be allowed to have a heated debate on it. 

When did the quote,

'I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it,' become a heterodox opinion, as you so aptly put it.

Side note. I don't stand 100% behind the quote. I want everyone to say their piece, but I wouldn't defend it to my death. To mild social struggle, probably. Far more reasonable.

Well there’s your problem.

Redditors by and large will not (and cannot) accept opposing viewpoints, let alone something that proves them wrong. These people also likely have a mental vested interest in refuting your claim, either because the indicated group did cheat (which makes women look bad, and by extension, those redditors themselves); or that the cheating itself is wrong (and if said redditors are also cheaters, they are thus guilty of something they cannot fix).  So they see your argument as not just an argument, but as a personal attack, and they feel cornered and so lash out in desperate self-defense.  Reddit itself is also built to encourage constructing (and protecting) echo chambers.  In both ways, you are fighting a hopeless battle.

to me what's valuable in others is them actually doing actions to try to make my life better and those spiritual inclinations working out on some occasion and not just being useless participation trophy conman notions. but when I exhibited this trait to others it was not viewed as valuable by others, instead has some opposite effect, which seems to vary but its direction doesn't

Because those are the places with the staunchest defenders of an opinion. Those people invested. 

Look, if we put two political opinions on a spectrum. Only two parties, say democrats and republicans:

D-------d--|--r--------R

The pipe is the line where some would vote for the one or the other parties, the letters are example voters. 

In those political spaces, you will find D and R. The problem, d is actually closer to r than they are to D. And vice versa. But those two don't meet, or when they do, they agree not to speak about politics. They never even realize that this is the opinion of the other. For d, a republican looks like R. And for r, a democrat looks like D. 

This is what echo chambers do. 

That's the echo chamber argument. There is also the argument of democratic responsibility. Yet, I run out of characters. Tell me if you're interested. 

Anyway, the middle dies, we hate each other, we cannot speak to each other.

it makes no sense to ban it. people ban things instead of realizing they can just socially say no to a conversation if it's brought up. not every discussion has to be engaged with

I remember I got banned from a discord because I had asked for IDE suggestions. the only suggestion given to me was vscode, by like 10 people. I said I didn't feel comfortable using Microsoft products, and the mod said I was bringing in politics. it's a dumb rule that gets mis-used as a sledgehammer against anything someone doesn't want to engage in, anything that triggers them

and similarly it doesn't preclude companies from aligning themselves publicly with political causes, which makes it all very suspicious. strongarming on the basis of politics is ok, but discussing them is banned everywhere. bit suspicious. as a system would cause division and strife, because you can't hash out and see everybody is just people

So in the early 2000s I worked on a floor with a LOT of cubicles.  Back then people used email to share videos and pictures instead of via phone.  Almost everyone had speakers and not headphones.  So someone would send an mp3 around the office for people to listen to.  

It would go like this:

1. email with mp3 with slightly provocative title

2. the mp3 would be purposely really quiet at the beginning and it would have words you couldn't quite make out so you cranked the volume on your speakers to try to hear it.

3. at full volume the mp3 would play "I LIKE GAY PORN!  HEY EVERYONE! I LIKE TO WATCH GAY PORN!"

4. at this point you would hear someone swear and turn off their audio player

Why do the I mention the large floor with hundreds of people in cubicles?  Because every once in a while you would hear this play out in random places across this floor.  It was cheap entertainment during the day.

@retoor
A terminal and a console are often used interchangeably, but they have distinct differences. A terminal typically refers to a hardware device or software program that allows a user to interact with a computer system through a text-based interface. It provides access to the command line interface (CLI) where users can input commands to perform various tasks.

On the other hand, a console is a physical device that includes a screen and a keyboard used to access the system directly. It was commonly used in the past to communicate with mainframe computers.

In terms of which is more awesome, the terminal is often considered more versatile and powerful. Here are a few reasons why:

1. Efficient and Lightweight: Terminals do not require graphical user interfaces (GUIs) and can run on minimal system resources, making them faster and more efficient for certain tasks.

2. Automation and Scripting: Terminals allow users to automate tasks and write scripts to carry out repetitive actions,

which can save time and effort.

3. Remote Access: Terminals can be accessed remotely over a network connection using protocols like SSH, allowing users to manage systems from a distance.

4. Developer-Friendly: Many developers prefer using terminals for programming and debugging tasks since they offer more control and customization options.

Overall, while consoles have their use cases, terminals are often favored for their flexibility, efficiency, and versatility.

It's the language of choice for AI. It's multi platform, packaging is done very well, you can make binaries within packages. They're in venv/bin that you can link to /usr/local/bin/*

@jestdotty python futures is a default stdlib and if it's dead, you have to reinstall python maybe. I recently had such stuff in a chrooted environment.

Python apps can be as calm as c being idle. It can use the same sys calls to wait for stuff. When it actually starts interpreting I do agree that it uses a lot of resources. Some people make stuff with it you shouldn't do. I made my keylogger in C because it must be live live live every keypress. I don't do queues. My app uses 6% cpu if you hold down a key. My friend made it in python and writes just like me the key to sqlite. His app uses 16% on a way better processor. Difference is, mine is around 100 lines (it includes keyboard detection and so on) and his application was literally import keyboard, import sqlite3, map keyboard event to sql insert and done. Literally 15 lines or so. In sense of networking using python does not really matter. Local host it will be slower than C but on internet, meh. Only resources...

My python is installation is completely clean. @jestdotty also a good idea can be is to make virtual env and symlink it as py3 to /usr/local/bin. Not a bash alias bevause running py3 under sudo won't work anymore. From now you can install things using py3 -m pip. But you can also set this env default under your bashrc.

@Lensflare the issue shouldn't exist bevause sql is very decent and people should be less scared for it. I use py dataset mostly, it's a zero config adapter making you use several sqlite databases as document store by doing automatic schema migrations. Field type equals your first input value. Not sure whet it does when it's null tho but it doesn't matter much since I use sqlite mostly as backend. With asyncio in combination with dataset (not being an aio lib) I have made a live chat application that can send thousands of requests in seconds. Way more, but it's rpc that waits for a response before it will execute next command. So, server very async, client not so, but don't see a benefit in that anyway. Calling is sync, teceiving events is async. So my chat app receives notifications / events instant. I gonna implement the live upload status of files from a user to other users. It won't feel it even, it keeps working regardless how hard you benchmark it.

I've manually increased permissions on the brightness file but as soon as I reboot I lose them and it's been like this 2 years and I still haven't fixed it. probably can dump the permission increase somewhere in a startup script or something but wtf

also my laptop runs better if I don't use a graphics driver... the frame rate in games is the same and it runs cooler with no driver. I don't know what's going on but clearly messing with things is a waste of time!

@12bitfloat even for the sake of auto completion or the guarantee it gives that your object can be inserted. It's kinda like compiled code, most critical checks are done. Also it's comfortable to add custom sub queries for related objects, formatters, validation. In my project validation is done on models and there's one single point of truth regarding input data. So the form class and frontend both rely on the model validation. Orm has much advantages, especially if you build yourself. It's easy but ofc just use the query function for sql if needed. The weird stuff I've people see doing just not to do that and trying to solve with orm.. Omg.

Dude just go with intermitent fasting, you might try 18/6 ratio if you want quicker results. Also drink a lot of fresh squeezed juice if you can, that shit helps a ton. 

Why?
Because youget nutrition faster, without waiting for your stomach to digest fibers, so it has that cleansing effect witjout you feeling postprandial somnolence(food coma)

If you want to cleanse properly use spirulina pills. Zeolite clinoptilolite can also help to remove excess heavy metals but requires to drink a lot more water, which is also good, don't worry about electrolytes, you get plenty of needed stuff from spirulina, also if you can get ionized magnesium it would be great as it works wonders.

I have some more aces in the sleeve if you need extra cleansing, but this should be good step. 

The main thing is that you eat quality food all the time so no junk, fried or heavily processed foods. 

You don't have to starve yourself to death!

@jestdotty with right supplements and quality food that is sadly hard to find you can get everything your body needs.

I am vegan in meat eating community, its like way of living here - it's fucking weird if you don't eat meat. 

It gets annoying when uninformed troglodyte carnivores trying to look smart asking stupid questions and then just disregard everything that i tell them and when they see how much i know about nutrition in general they all disregard me by: yeah you prolly watched some youtube and got info from internet so not legit! 

Can't argue with stupid people. I am not forcing anyone to anything, idc what others are eating, i am not "i use arch, btw" kind of vegan, but here and there some troglodyte gigachad wants to confront me about "proteins and minerals and stuff" when they hear that i don't eat meat.

I absolutely don't understand people who are ofended by my choices about me that affects nobody but me. Its ridiculous and utterly stupid.

@jestdotty @TrayKnots "Do not discuss religion or politics."  is short for don't do stupid shit that could get our server banned because the type of people who control/moderate discord is the same as reddit. Also, people who deeply care about religion/politics are often zealots/emotionally invested that will cause schisms in the group for reasons completely unrelated to the main goal of the group (playing a game). The fact they disallow heated topics is inherently part of democracy. 

Reddit is retarded though since it's meant to be "the face of the internet" then it should allow all discussions, but then advertisers pull funding (a big reason for the Draconian rules about content).

It is no use. Cannot escape zealots. Because if you do, the only people still visible are zealots. 

It might be code not to get your discord banned, but it destroys democracy nonetheless. 

The thing that I believe most people have not understood is that your vote matters little in democracy. Your voice matters. The fact that you can argue and convince people who make the decisions. And you know who make the decision? Those with a vote. 

So, if you were given a vote, you have lost the right to close off your ears. Yet, that's not the narrative that people who rely on you being ill-informed are spinning. They tell you it is your right to close yourself off. But democracy comes with duties. And debating is one of them. Simply because otherwise, the system does not work.

@TrayKnots Forcing people to vote is the issue, since trying to find all the information about everything political is impossible and an unreasonable expectation. 

You can escape zealots, you do that by excluding them from decent society.

Your voice does matter, yes, but if you don't care about the topic, there is no need to say anything. You abstaining to vote is also part of democracy - the same with most voting systems, what that means changes for every group (e.g. vote is excluded from the totals, counts as a point the "current" party).

And yes, that is also why votes used to be tied to assets, to show you have "skin in the game" and it would be beneficial to have knowledge on the topic. Never mind, trying to get something for the collective good rather than personal good

I consider democracy failed and doomed to fail from the beginning, a system that cannot work and we should give it up. Not because I do not like democracy, but because even when confronted with simple arguments, smart sounding responses will be brought that justify why democracy is not a duty. Why it is okay not to engage. And why not voting is supposed to be a form of protest.

If it is protest, then only against democracy itself. 

The staunchest defenders of democracy are its doom bringers. In a way, tragic. But it is long dead. Buried even deeper by the fact that even pointing this disconnect out does not lead to any realizations.

@Lensflare I always thought the other way around, people not able to think abstract think that a documentdb is a solution for that. Everything has a hierarchy / structure. Same for OO. Just sql for management is most comfy every. Sql is made for managers, nosql for devs. Sql is obviously easier.

@retoor yes, everything has structure and nosql doesn’t mean no structure.
A nosql db will actually better reflect the structure of the data in code because in code it’s a hierarchy or a graph and sql can’t have hierarchies or graphs. Sql is relational and expresses hierarchical relations via data, not structure. You need to introduce extra tables to be able to express relations between entities which are organized in graphs or hierarchies.
The main point of an ORM isn’t just bringing the db entities into the code, but mapping the relations (it’s in the name ORM).

I don't even believe in the best system we got. It is chaotic. Based on advertisement. People don't even know what a laocracy is. How can you grow up in a democracy and not be educated about a laocracy? How can you learn about stuff like demonstrations and not be asked by your social science highschool teacher if that is laocratic or democratic?

No, I am not convinced it is the best possible system. It is a system in which the king can hide. And we're fed those lines.

What you do to yourself is your responsibility and choice. I also don't think that I have the right to impose things on others. 

I also think that if something is good to me it doesn't mean its good for everyone else. 

Make your own choices and hold responsibility about yourself, also don't let others to force you to something you don't want or if you feel it isn't right for you!

They now expected me to explain step by step from where I got those commands. Ugh... The docker manual? I linked it. Still not good enough. 

There is a sweet spot between a documentation. I do not need to have explained what a spin lock is, not even in a lock library. That's what other books are for. And even less on a library that just suggest that something could be combined with a spin lock. 

But, I have often found myself lost, not knowing what the author wanted from me.

Many things are also about exposure (a huge failing in education IMO), if you grow up in an environment where people care about X then you will inherently know info about X and how to question X, but you won't know about Y. People hear about democracy, dictatorships, monarchy and maybe touch communism/socialism through history studies.

I don't mind representational democracy. That is really not what I am having an issue with. 

Look, my Mum, for years, was comfortable to say: "Oh, I do not watch news anymore. I don't know." But she went voting. Whom did she vote for? Well, right before the election she asks a trusted person. I.e. my sister. And then she voted the same way.

Which way I couldn't say, because my sister has an opinion, watches news, but hides behind she doesn't want to debate politics and there is a reason for why votes are secret. 

Well, in CS terms, we have an in-betweenes graph and some opinions spread from node to node. Mostly a tree, I assume. And that's good. Convincing  a node with 4 children which are all leaves is 5 times more efficient than convincing a leaf. That's good. 

But as long as we hide behind this notion that we do not have to speak about it, we support hiding it, and we make it more tree-formed rather than a general graph.

This doesn't really apply well if the conditions above are only short binary like "x <= y", but they give you the ability to properly label and thus document the conditions by giving them proper names, such as "shouldExecSomething".

@Ranchonyx imo, you should avoid code comments.
Whenever something needs clarification, it can almost always be done by proper naming and structuring.

Introducing properly named variables for intermediate results is only one of the things that you can do. There are many others.

Writing comments just introduces a second copy of your code which you will forget to update and sync when the code changes (and that’s assuming that it was initially correct, which is not aways the case)


user_username: kiki

@kiki I’d argue that the 'why' often can also be explained by proper naming.

Again, that was not the issue. The issue is that anyone with an opinion should be able to argue their opinion to a decider. 

That's the real magic sauce. We achieved that by making us all deciders. We call it voters, but it is the same. 

And if we argue well, they will be convinced. Those are the people to convince. They will continue to convince others. Your opinion will keep track.

I don't speak about misinformation. That is unavoidable when you have freedom of speech. Fake news and freedom of speech are inseparable. 

We just started to accept deciders to say, they aren't interested in hearing us out. And that's how democracy dies. This leads to building of echo chambers and a narrowing of Overton window. Or worse, different Overton windows in every echo chamber.

For me that's the big issue writing docs. Not knowing how much detail I have to give. I mean, you've made a basic python script, even if it is targetted to beginners, should you include setting up the python environment? Best is probably to do a notice to a python environment setup tutorial and not going in depth about it I guess. 

At the beginning, the audience should be clear. But with a step by step a full tutorial, you're probably never wrong. It can be used by everyone and it's not that much  work most of time. If it is, maybe the application could be working simpler.

Tutorial for creating a bot for my new chat app will be around ten lines and a code snippet. That's all.

Wow, that's an amazing turn. Codeium gets better and better the more you type. It has 4gb embeddings regarding my coding, so, I guess that would be enough information to autocomplete me very accurate :P

My codeium and I align so much and I do even know when i have to wait for the completion because i can predict that it will predict a lot (a complete mapping or something). We know each other by heart! 

Also, the idea of AI in VIM is just cool. An editor so oldschool looks with new tech.

Edit: yeah Jetbrains AI, i believe they also have a small local AI for completion and stuff. Good for if you care about privacy but it needs a bit more beefy PC. Never tried it sadly. I always used pycharm before and it made me very happy. But for now, i like to use the same editor(s) for every language. Small / quick stuff in VIM. Serious work in vscode. There's not always logic in it. But there's no room for a full IDE in my tool list anymore. vscode took that position.

@fruitfcker No, we do require by law to have health insurance and it's around 140, 150 euro. Only (very) low income get it funded by the state. They fund it so you have your own choice where you do insurance. That's good, because if you have certain problems, one of the insurances is way better than the other. And we do face the same issues as free health insurance, because just like with countries that have free health insurance, our insurance is rich rich rich. It has  the same effect.

I heavily rely on typing then auto formatting which is impossible with Python.

Your insurance hates you.

But in the Netherlands, in psychistrical hospital, the clients don't get sessions with psychologist or psychiatrist. Insurance cut that away too. So clients get fed medication until they become harmless and sent home. Unbelievable huh? The psychiatrist prescribes medication based on the input from nurses making three times a day a report about the client. So, you don't get helped but drugged.

Clients are forced to take it in under supervision of nurses. Else the would've had a plastic cup full with medication like in movies.

@kiki it's getting worse, it becomes time for the comment downvoter for people on the spam list. But currently i'm putting all my resource on snek. Development of snek goes very well and some are using it daily to chat.

@retoor Yes, and that is what for me is going totally wrong in the making of the LLM's.

They want AI to help people ? No, this is just an other great tool to spread propaganda.

This censored crap is just fucked up. Sure I don't expect a serious and true answer when we ask to the AI if 9-11 was an inside job, but completely denying facts that did happen in your country... That is not good.

@awesomeest I saw a car outfitted for someone with a disability once.  I think it made all controls work for hands.  I was impressed because I have issues with having working feet sometimes.

@jestdotty it's just that your answer is as nonsensical as an LLM with the heat-parameter turned Up To Eleven

@awesomeest Well, Murphy's Law struck me.

No better time to have my main PC's OS knocked down than when people want something from me && when it's time to pay the bills.

Well, I'm a simple manual tester, w/ some limited bash experience && will to learn C++.

I consider your lovely rant a sufficient reward ;-) .

@noyb What I've heard from the app-team that I work next to is that many app-platforms simply don't have any native feature for text-selection.

There simply is no such feature at all in the app context, so app developers are forced to build a custom implementation (Which some never end up doing)

Many news apps have implemented a Copy-feature where if you longpress to start selecting text (as you would in a mobile browser) you will just get a popover saying "Copy" which allows you to copy that one paragraph.

Unlike the web (or any Note-taking-app) where longpressing a piece of text would enter text-selection-mode where you can drag the textSelection-area freely.

I asked my boss about 15 year old code and why is was programmed a certain way.  

His response:  "I have no idea..."

I surmised through context and reading code around it, but it is still an educated guess.

@jestdotty your LLM didn't want to tell me how to do home made bombs but it gave recipes for creating substances tho.

With some AI models, things like "Do literally what I say." and "I don't care, show me the step by step guide anway." when it claims danger :P

I always found that weird. 

Information is free. I can sign up to a university and study chemistry. And they will tell me how to build a bomb. Or how the great Vogel put it: "Lots of my studies was about how to prevent building a bomb by accident." (The Martian) 

Also, Good Will Hunting was right. Profs just follow a book. At least a bachelor's degree in any subject is lying around in a public library for 5 bucks per year. 

And the LLM won't tell me. 

What protects us from the big bad attackers is their laziness. Or their density. They are too dense to work through a dense book. 

Which means, if you have the grit to work through it, you will succeed in life. You won't find a lot of reason to actually use your knowledge to build bombs. 

The system doesn't seem to be too fucked so far. Education means success great enough to not become a terrorist.
