They also had a whole bin of vintage and antique mortise cylinders, many of which had keys. The goth/punk lady that worked there said, since I teach lockpicking (and gave her some practice tips), I could have 'em for $5/per š«
I left with 4 awesome new (old) locks š

@alice WOW! What an incredible selectionā¦ how did you choose?!!

@alice ooh, these look so cool! Glad you were able to get them so affordably.

Here are the four locks I took home with me:

@alice that KEY on the fourth one, phwoarrrr

@alice pretty!

@alice I realize these aren't from a bridge or railing but I imagine you undoing one of those locks and hundreds of kilometers away a loving couple on a sidewalk drops each others' hands and they walk off in opposite directions without looking back

@clayote I mean, there are still problems it can't solve, but that set is much smaller than you would think if you last looked at it seriously any time up until a few months ago. The models now can search the web, instrument software so they can test without human intervention, and plan quite large/complicated projects for implementation across several context windows.
When driven by an expert, there is very little it can't do, and it does it all very, very, rapidly.
-
@clayote it is quite wrong, as of October of last year, when the current crop of models arrived. As of Opus 4.5, Codex 5.2, and Gemini 3, when used in an agentic context (e.g. Claude Code), they're not limited to simple/repetitive code or code that is prominent in the training data.
The training data is "the entire internet and all of public Github", so it knows every language, every framework. Yeah, it's better at simple CRUD apps in TypeScript, but it also kicks my ass in my best languages.
-
@clayote @swelljoe I'd say that was true not that long ago, but not necessarily now. More likely to be true of those people who don't even look at the output, which I think is atrocious.
-
@noplasticshower yeah, I'm confident that many, if not all, of the major models have ingested the thousands of posts I've made to the forum I maintain for the OSS projects I work on. I feel ambivalent about that. On one hand, if someone is asking ChatGPT for help with my software, I'd rather it give reasonable answers than dangerous ones.
But, also, it sucks that the way it does that kind of thing is DDoSing my websites periodically and blatantly disregarding copyright or licenses.
-
@swelljoe As a non-user of AI (lucky), my impression was that in the areas it works well in -- repetitive codebases that resemble ones in the training dataset -- the productivity increase also incurs technical debt at a rate higher than if you'd gotten some junior coders to do it; is that wrong?
-
@swelljoe I learned a weird thing about my stuff and Anthropic https://berryvilleiml.com/2025/12/05/the-anthropic-copyright-settlement-is-telling/
-
@matt @swelljoe Yep. Yep. I got laid off because of #AI but I'm using it for lots of things these days. I tend to work slowly so I'm finding ways to leverage it to increase my productivity. The catch is figuring it out without reducing quality.
-
Oh, also, I have skin in the game. I'm not just randomly dismissing the ethical concerns, I'm right in the middle of them.
A book I wrote was among those pirated by Anthropic. I'm getting ~$1500 (and my publisher is getting the other ~$1500) from the settlement. And, since I have a bunch of code in Open Source projects spanning decades, I'm sure my code is also in the training data for all of them.
I'm not ecstatic about it. But, it's where we are and I don't imagine I can do much about it.
