@dysfun i mean pasta straws are what i want to see more of, they work great

@dysfun bruce harrell is definitely friend of Big Straw

probably should have asked what katie wilson’s position on paper straws were prior to spending a large sum of money to hopefully get her elected, but she seems reasonably sane so i am sure she probably hates paper straws too

my asks are simple: leadership that answers the people rather than corporations and the abolition of wasteful and frankly terrible paper straws

my next political ambition is to abolish paper straws from the state of washington

long ears, fluffy tails, what more is there to say?

you could say i am enthusiastic about rabbits

emacsulation

the new tron movie looks like a great nine inch nails music video

you run neural models on GPUs or some sort of modern fixed function hardware.

i run neural models on the PS1 geometry transformation engine.

we are not the same.

what is the most accurate PS1 emulator available these days? i especially need accurate behavior out of the GTE, especially cycle-accurate if possible.

some pro tips: basically never cold DM a random tech executive, and especially don’t treat them like a “ChatGPT” if you do.

now when this person applies for a role, i will remember them and that will not be a good thing

imagine DMing someone on linkedin asking them to make a role for you and then asking very basic questions about our workplace culture that are answered on our website

@whitequark @mcc

the main issue is that Sun did not fully open source everything in the first place. there are quite a few binary blobs that still exist, even today. this is not a thing with BSD or Linux.

beyond that, Solaris is just a clunky, slow and bloated system. almost all of the good ideas from Solaris have been reimplemented elsewhere in some form or another.

@mcc no, because Illumos is garbage

@kevingranade @androcat it isn’t. there are plenty of cases where machine transformations are perfectly fine. i have been using transformers to rewrite code for 20+ years. Coccinelle, for example is a type of transformer.

this is a problem of “garbage in, garbage out” paired with the time immemorial problem that some choose to bullshit their way through life and make it everyone else’s problem. those people don’t play by “the rules”.

@adriano @lamanche @androcat yes, i would say the social problem dates way before capitalism. in fact, history proves this.

and, blaming all problems on “late stage capitalism” is just another flavor of the same social problem, honestly.

things have actual causes which cause the actual effects we complain about. to short-circuit the analysis with a talking point is not intellectually stimulating…

@androcat @adriano we literally live in a time where people submit automated code scanning results, that they have signed off on and assigned CVEs to, that are just total bullshit. in fact a large minority of CVEs, if not majority at this point, are sadly this.

we live in a time where people have their *unsupervised* LLM agents are submitting bugs to public mailing lists offering a 30 day embargo on their non-bug.

the problem isn’t the LLM, it’s the person who lets it go do its thing without supervision, without quality assurance. this is why i focus on the person, not the specific method with which they are annoying.

@adriano @androcat precisely. LLM abuse is just the latest example of the fundamental social problem of people bullshitting their way through life.

@androcat at the end of the day, what matters *to me* is whether work submitted to me for review is accurate or not. it is my job as maintainer to judge the accuracy.

how the work was created is not the part that is interesting to me, but instead its accuracy. if someone uses an LLM to workshop something, and they test it, they verify it is correct, and they are prepared to effectively defend it in review, then it does not really matter to me, because it still checks the boxes.

the problem isn’t the LLM, it’s the lack of care in generating the work. this is why we call it “workslop”. LLM abuse is just the latest generation of workslop production, automated code scanning is another type of workslop. fuzzing without appropriate context is another type of workslop. these don’t involve LLMs at all.
