Software Development, awful takes, memes, Oxford comma, and more. Internet argument allegiances: Rust, POSIX, FOSS, vim, and tabs.

@mlech26l I'm not running quant 8 on my room scale rig. I need the extra 3% results quality improvements from using 8 times as much VRAM, obviously.

@notch Well it was nice you dropped by, at least.

Someone should just literally tell Grok to build anything. What type of slop does an AI produce with the least possible amount of direction and MCP access to the world? Does it just burn tokens making digital sandcastles for no one?

@LundukeJournal I can't help thinking part of the reason is that it's a language that, unless explicitly declared unsafe, is presumed to be a safe space.

It's less safe than they think it is, but I can't help wondering if that's a psychologically appealing thing for people who seek that irl.

@bluntsmokr45 @CEOofFuggy Missed opportunity to be a “Cloudflare Wrapper” tbh.

@valigo Assert may halt execution and halting is antithetical to Go-ing? Maybe?🤔

@ThePrimeagen You just did. ^This is the incantation for summoning would-be dungeon masters.

@IroncladDev Congrats to you both!

@sanson_ganbaru I think you’ve accurately identified what’s happening.

[B.A. Code 🇺🇸 @Benjamin_Arthur]

I’m feeling bullish about this prediction being accurate for some reason.

Even so, I remain confident that AI will replace somewhere between 0% and 100% of all jobs within the next five to fifty years.

@the_taco_god @LukasHozda I mean… Each bogosort attempt on a set of 25 elements has a 1/25! shot at being correct (assuming real RNG), right? But 25! is like 15 and a half septillion. It’s always possible- that’s the fun of it. But statistically it seems extremely unlikely to hit before we all die.

@teej_dv @adamdotdev Solid hack tbh.

@ReviewsPossum Just eat the data centers they grow with the water, obviously.

@ModernVintageG Hey nobody use this key- that’s my key.

[B.A. Code 🇺🇸 @Benjamin_Arthur]

@LibertyCappy Man that looks like it gets HOT.

@lauriewired I’m feeling sassy today so I’ll be the “well, actually” jerk: AFAIK that’s only true down to Planck-length scales, so it’s technically only mostly-infinite in terms of what’s physically there. I guess you can impose presumed, theoretical additional detail though. 🤔

Idea: An anonymous “vote to end meeting” button on Teams where if 50% of people press it, the meeting ends immediately.

nah im just not gonna run npm install anymore

@LundukeJournal XKCD #378 vibes in this conversation.
