@glyph So you're saying that I can LLM's to do my job for me, and with all that free time, I can just live, while taking kratom to counter-act my executive dysfunction?
/s for the serious people

@mitsuhiko @glyph In hopes that I can foster a better debate culture:
This statement comes off as extremely vague and seemingly ignore all issues I raised. Remember, we can only consider evidence you supplied. We can't read your mind.
In this case, I see that your repo is 3 days old, with only 133 commits. Linking a multi-year project with at thousands of commits would strengthen your argument.
@dragonfi @glyph AI does not exist for multiple years, but as an example, my friend Peter has a repository that he contributes to that has way more than 100,000 lines of AI-generated code (https://github.com/clawdbot/clawdbot and dependencies). My company's two repositories are both beyond 100,000 lines of code, all AI maintained. I'm contributing with AI to my own Rust projects like MiniJinja which are all older than AI.

@bdf2121cc3334b35b6ecda66e471 how about don't fucking do that?

@mitsuhiko @glyph Complexity is exactly where my question lies: software development is about managing (and minimizing) complexity in the long term. Will you be able to do it with your current workflow?
I think it is quite okay to not have an answer and give it a try. (This is how science and invention works, after all.) Just don't claim that it is maintainable before you spent months or maybe a year maintaining it.

@mitsuhiko @glyph Thanks, this looks more substantial, although the repository was only created in November, will be interesting to check on it after a year.

@glyph My offer still stands to have a debate on this on a video call!
@mitsuhiko @glyph lol wat

@mitsuhiko @glyph And cocaine can give you a lot of energy. What's your point?
@timmc @mitsuhiko @glyph cocaine won't take your job, a guy using cocaine will take your job

@glyph if you’re not familiar, searching for “variable intermittent reinforcement” might be informative. It’s the same mechanism behind slot machines, Facebook notifications, and email.
@genehack @glyph Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products by Nir Eyal. A book on how *all* this shit works.
yes it's gambling addiction

@mitsuhiko @glyph One million lines of code, I'm actually quite curious what requires so much. Even if it's closed source, can you share a link to the project?

@glyph I know that this is a tangent to your original point about LLMs (100% agreed), but fucking yikes, this is terrifying. It's a very good video, and makes me glad that I never seriously considered self-medicating my (at the time hypothetical) ADHD. Of course everyone thinks they can't get addicted, because they're smarter than those other addicts, and they have *rules*. There but for the grace, etc.. I even have the exact same kind of food safe, to use for snacks.
What is frustrating is that the (extreme) expense of access to legitimate, regulated ADHD medication makes it unaffordable for a lot of people (and given that it runs in families, it's likely to impact the same family multiple times), and I'm sure that makes drugs like this very tempting. Especially because of the bullshit "natural, herbal" branding.
Apparently kratom is legal in South Africa. I'm going to be paying a *lot* more attention to the ingredients lists on artisanal iced teas from now on.

@dragonfi @glyph Here are some projects I built with agents or contributed alone which are public:
~20k for github issue sync: github.com/mitsuhiko/gh-issue-sync/
~55k for the tank game: https://github.com/mitsuhiko/tankgame/
~10k contributed to pi: https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono (it's mostly vibecoded)Most code is not public and I have little desire to publish it for the moment. One piece of infrastructure we built for earendil is partially public in that I published API documentation: https://api.mailhook.sh/api/
It's around 100.000 lines of code, mostly go.

@FediThing @glyph I disagree with that notion entirely. The reason I went into Open Source is because I believe in sharing. LLMs are just adding to this. IP laws are way to long lasting and I have been writing to this end many times over the years on my blog. 70 year + copyright terms are the exact opposite to what we should be aiming for as humans.
-
@mttaggart unfortunately I have no concept of what "rock bottom" for an LLM user looks like. Step 0 is going to have to be that society stops massively rewarding them with prestige and huge piles of cash first
@glyph @mttaggart unexpected and sudden price jacking might do it.

@FediThing @glyph LLMs are trained on human-created material in much the same way a person learns by reading books and then acting on what they've learned. They don't directly reproduce that material.
As I mentioned I strongly believe that broad sharing of knowledge is a net benefit to humanity. Questions of credit and attribution are a separate issue and to discuss them meaningfully, you first have to be clear about what you consider reasonable attribution in the first place.
You can take for instance the tankgame and then tell me which part should be attributed and is not, and what you would be attributing it to.
On the "against the will": I want you to use the code I wrote, it's definitely not against my will that LLMs are trained on the code I wrote over the years.
-
@FediThing @glyph We don't know enough yet about how the systems work. If you for instance look into the grokking paper you can see that there is a generalized learning going on, but we haven't been able to replicate this yet to large models everywhere. The idea that they are not learning anything in training is not state of the art anymore.
-
@FediThing @glyph LLMs can learn from other LLMs and that's why, for instance, reasoning traces are not exposed by OpenAI because they are afraid that the Chinese are learning from it.
This debate is not going anywhere so we'll exit it here now.

@aeva There was a proposal on the gitlab a while ago: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/3596
But, long story short, they won't support wasm unless something big happens, like a dedicated maintainer.
Its their choice of course, but IMO, it indirectly hinders Vala on other domains and it has left it as a niche language.
Adding a "non glib" batteries included support for the language would open a decent alternative to C# ](my main objective on all of this).
I might bite the bullet, who knows.

Consigliatemi un'istanza! Vorrei creare un profilo sul Fediverso per i Gom Jabbar, la nostra nuova band.
Visto che parleremo principalmente inglese e l'account servirebbe per comunicare fuori dall'Italia, pensavo a un'istanza anglofona.
Ne conoscete di valide, ovviamente non giganti, incentrate sulla musica e/o sulla roba riot?

@pfr If you are interested in Lisp I recommend learning it as a long term project. It's worth giving a good look to both Common Lisp and Scheme so that you can decide what you like.
As for where Lispers congregate, if you prefer forum platforms you may have a look at this new community:

@Veenc Grazie per le belle parole e per l'incoraggiamento! 💜 Per ora ci limitiamo a Mastodon che è l'alternativa europea forse più diffusa in Italia, ma piano piano migreremo anche sulle altre alternative europee 🙏🏻🇪🇺

@levelbot good job everyone
