ESR went like this after 9/11

bayesian epistemology for sure

they actually came up with something more fucked up than stack ranking

i see no evidence they don’t realise just fine

“There was a post, [pause], I forget who wrote it” <- the kind of thing I have said several times attempting to avoid leaking rationalist-evidence-bits.

gotta keep that power level under wraps

Keep in mind that, for theologically conservative (“the Bible is historically and spiritually accurate”) Christians like myself,

rationalists whoo

appparently this is use of code-complete as well

“brutal mog, sir”

WritePhilthily

i think she was clearly the winner there too

on Hetzner - actually looked into what if I move my personal box recently, and Hetzner are still it. the only comparable service for price is OVH and at least Hetzner can probably work a computer. there’s a reason large swathes of Mastodon are hosted on Hetzner or OVH and the reason has a dollar sign on the front.

from someone on Mastodon:

Google has a gigantic code generation culture, because the engineers there strongly prefer complexity to drudgery.

If you asked them to write fizzbuzz and left them in a room for twelve hours they would deliver a new programming language that generalized repetitive string printing, with an extension language for potential non-string-printing actions.

I left in ‘22 but feel fairly confident that “25% of code generated by AI” is going to be more of the same.

Sundar Pichal, Google Q3 2024 earnings call:

We’re also using AI internally to improve our coding processes, which is boosting productivity and efficiency. Today, more than a quarter of all new code at Google is generated by AI, then reviewed and accepted by engineers. This helps our engineers do more and move faster.

Firstly, if this is literally true they’re completely fucking cooked.

Secondly, if it isn’t, what version of it is?

on it

the user has been guided to the egress via the waste disposal

these days lemonparty would be a (ahahahaha) docker image (fnarr etc)

the glib answer is “oh we subscribe to Elliptic” or some other blockchain monitoring service

camping out on a friend’s box, two others had root, but they effectively never bothered. the disk filled one day and i went looking for stuff that wasn’t useful. found that site, found it really was where DNS pointed.

my current box is the descendant of that one

And Altman is gay himself!

unlike Rick, she did get laid
