@davidgerard i'm doing a seance and you're all invited
15+ years ago, I worked out how "understanding natural language == having and experiencing feelings", more or less. it's almost a direct consequence of the halting problem.
i will summon our boys gödel and turing and together we will craft an evil incantation to destroy these fuckboys

@davidgerard I have no idea if it was *before* that. But it kills any notion of it ever coming to anything from this point on, yes.

@tante @davidgerard getting rejected by linus for being too much of a prick and deciding my life is fucking over and crying all the way to the bank

@davidgerard "I already was a fucking stupid nutter 15 years ago" isn't quite the flex he seems to think it is.

@davidgerard
Okay apparently they were pushing big features last minutes in merge windows ; experimenting a bit too loosely in the wrong moments ; showing themselves kinda unpredictable and not respectful of the mainline timing and guidelinessee one late PR : https://lwn.net/ml/all/CAHk-=wi2ae794_MyuW1XJAR64RDkDLUsRHvSemuWAkO6T45=YA@mail.gmail.com/
That get accepted at the price of splitting with kernel : https://lwn.net/ml/all/CAHk-=wi+k8E4kWR8c-nREP0+EA4D+=rz5j0Hdk3N6cWgfE03-Q@mail.gmail.com/
And the dramatic Love/hate response : https://lwn.net/ml/all/xl2fyyjk4kjcszcgypirhoyflxojzeyxkzoevvxsmo26mklq7i@jw2ou76lh2py/
@theodora @davidgerard he wouldn't respect the kernels pulling policy and a cavalcade of social ineptitude piled up about it. -
@theodora @davidgerard was so fucking disappointed recently when linus posted specifically to call out this wonderful mm maintainer whom i adore for deleting a literally unused gitignore file because it would lead to time travelers suddenly seeing build outputs and accidentally committing them and like:
(1) you literally have the most powerful tree of reviewers in human history ensuring people do not accidentally commit build outputs and things of that nature
(2) why are you fucking wasting your top-level maintainers' time bookkeeping for the version control system you fucking wrote instead of fixing your fucking vcs so this doesn't happen? -

@theodora @davidgerard can't fucking wait for the grapheneos kernel. not gonna happen soon but micay has been edging it for years. when he says the kernel is unserious about security he means they're just unserious since security is a whole-of-society concept for him (and he's right). i stan daniel micay to death i would walk over broken glass for him

@davidgerard I'm just a humble linguist but like, just because OP's autocorrect made them feel meaningless and like they're obsolete OP shouldn't project that onto everyone else

@kaasbaas @davidgerard The wonders of the steam age! vibecoding a filesystem!
A filesystem.
A filesystem.
Not something casual and relaxed like a DBMS, something important that absolutely, positively, MUST be correct.
Vibecoding a filesystem.

@davidgerard It's weird how people who generally think humanities education should be abolished, don't want slavery acknowledged, want to see mass unemployment and the removal of consent for the use of creative works and find new and interesting ways to justify de-personing people based on skin colour or immigration status, keep on finding new ways to try and assign personhood to a chatbot. Nobody else deserves it, but this text generator agrees with them, so they do.

Segnali rilevati: satelliti/radar vedono fueling o erezione TEL in 30-60 secondi.
Conferma intel: analisti/IA validano in 30-90 secondi (2-3 indicatori).
Decisione e lancio strike: ordini catena comando + volo armi NATO (es. F-35 da base Polonia o ATACMS): 1-2 minuti max.
Totale: hai 1-3 minuti per distruggere il lanciatore prima che il missile decolli. Oltre, è intercettazione disperata (Patriot ha ~70% vs ipersonici).

Io ci scherzo sopra, perché noi italiani siamo uno dei pochi popoli che lo usano, però facciamo veramente una fatica tremenda a provarci si questa sana abitudine.
Un'amica con cui ho condiviso qualche avventura, diceva: toglietemi il pane e la pasta ma non il bidet

@cwebber You know, I often find myself thinking similar things. There was a big jump in nonsensical papers citing my network science book that occurred in parallel with LLM proliferation. So I can only assume there is nonsensical network science code being written based on the examples, which network scientists are going to have to spend a lot of time debugging and debunking.

In the play the Count is a genius but won't lift a finger if he can make someone else do it for him; his coersion of Figaro into service is not even necessary, which makes it all the more galling. By 1816 even though aristocrats were still around, social norms had changed enough that such behavior would have been too unbecoming for an aristo to do on purpose. Thus the Count has to be so inept he simply cannot succeed without Figaro and must beg him for help, which Figaro gives at his discretion

@simonperry @Paoblog in mancanza di bidet funziona bene, te lo assicuro. Oltretutto trovi tutto facilmente in loco e non costa nulla.

The QED documentary from 1988 about John, titled "Johns not mad".
https://youtu.be/wxfJDpd3XcY?si=MIyqz8eZdb7M17eq
And because of these documentaries, that's why the UK is not currently mad at John. Educate yourselves. Grow some understanding. The man is a treasure.
