Americans and Europeans deserve to know the truth. They deserve to know that their tax dollars fund Ukrainian terrorists who bomb children. Even if Western “journalists” choose to stay silent, I never will.

@CosmicMonad @eastblocvisuals Huh and me :D

[Jussi @jussisaur]

cant wait to be laid off and go to work on a farm shoveling pigshit so i don't have to read one of these you are falling behind FUD posts ever again

[Alex @ledjetpack]

@relizarov That is the only true way of using it. Otherwise you degrade faster than AI "helps" you.

Turns out the path to disaster is simple: humans handing bots admin privileges over every computer-controllable thing, because it feels like progress.

this is a catastrophe. StackOverflow provided data to LLMs, LLMs replaced StackOverflow, and now no new Q&A hub exists to provide fresh data. it’s a self-undermining causal loop, like mold growing on food, consuming it, and dying once the food is gone.

i find for most AI coding tasks the homer simpson model works better than ralph wiggum

claude is bart ofc

Do not argue with AI shills. Their goal is to sell their useless crap by preying on incompetence and insecurity. They do not want to make the world better. They are actively making it worse and do no deserve to be argued with in a good faith. Mockery is all they deserve.

No, they can't turn off the heart of you wife if you don't prolong her subscription in time. But yet... I've heard there are brands selling wide wheel turning angle via subscription model :D You just select it in the menu... pay few thousands euros per year and it is active :D

Hmm. My top literature author is Hugh Howey and The Silo series. :D I couldn't wait for apple tv... All trilogy in 65h... 11h for longest reading day. Shockingly all dystopia and sci-fi books sound very probable and realistic nowadays.

[Alex @ledjetpack]

You tell the same about movies. Try to recall the moment you watched 1st season of Black Mirror. It was wow fantastic... and the last season? Personally for me it felt - wow reality...

My ex-ex-ex-ex-ex company hired a dev. It was long before tailwind. His first commit was looking same way and I asked: Hey buddy why did you do it this way? And he was like: Which way? And I said: Okay, bro you are fired. I don't need you in my team. :D :D :D

We keep getting offers to run Ai clusters - GB10s, Mac Studios, etc. It's tempting, because I love hardware, but I keep saying no. I've already got a Mac w/ 128GB.

As far as I can tell, the ONLY benefit of clustering multiple machines together seems to be the ability to run a larger model, albeit quite slowly. Yawn.

I don't know how to make an episode about how running a big model slowly at home for ten thousand dollars into compelling content.

What the heck would you do with four 128GB Macs if you had them besides pose with them? And this guy has five!

@natterbrot @tsoding 🤣 or faking bird?

Competitive programming (ICPC/Codeforces/etc., even LeetCode) is controversial. Some people despise it, while others relentlessly hunt for top talent from competitions. There’s such polarity in opinions largely because people misunderstand the value it can bring to industry. 🧵
