OpenAI’s vastly inferior LLM sends its regards

I’d imagine Rust’s strict enforcement of a few specific patterns makes the assembly more predictable than C/++ where you can do literally anything?

Interestingly, developers in ecosystems like Go, Rust, and those utilizing native Web APIs—where robust standard libraries drastically reduce reliance on third-party code and strict cryptographic verification is built into the core toolchain

Does NPM really not do cryptographic verification or is this part of the joke? I always assumed the attacks were due to a compromised key or something, but this is implying you can just push whatever you want to an NPM package if you have the author’s login?

Japanese because Kanji which is still used everywhere doesn’t give information on how it’s pronounced. Learning to read and especially write them is much more difficult than Spanish spelling rules. Same problem as the language Kanji came from, Chinese. Source: Chinese immigrant who’s fluent in speaking Chinese but can’t read it. Japanese does have an advantage over Chinese in that it actually has character sets that give pronunciation information though. Presumably you can at least just write in one of the two phonetic character sets and people will understand you okay but I’m not quite sure how the combination of character sets work in practice.

Wouldn’t intelligence also be a material condition? How your brain is wired plays a significant role in how it interacts with the environment, so if humans evolved with a more intelligent brain it would significantly alter our trajectory from early civilisations, no? Would probably also kick off civilisations much earlier.

I mean sure, but that’s irrelevant to the discussion of intelligence and cognitive faculties.

A paralytic also can’t build anything, does it make Steven Hawking less intelligent than the average redneck?

AFAIK some scientists have argued that some porpoises (dolphins, orcas, etc) are more intelligent than us period. They’re just severely limited in what technology they can develop because of their bodies and where they live.

Rebar under the road suggests this is a raised platform. Terrifying.

You know it’s bad when AI slop is calling out your human slop.

Kombucha is pretty good.

panic! at the disco

If you’re a Rust developer

I don’t use make I use msbuild /s

Any of the classic Disney animated movies. First movie is a ripoff of classic fairy tales so most of the heavy lifting writing wise was done for them, the instant Disney has to write the whole thing is when it goes to shit. If it’s “Disney presents [insert fairy tale here] 2” you know it’ll suck.

Which is particularly ironic when they go HURR DURR .ml HURR DURR TANKIE AUTHORITARIAN HURR DURR OPPOSING OPINIONS NOT ALLOWED.

Other than the tankie part what do you do differently?

Those “rent a e-bike/scooter for your commute” apps. Doesn’t take that many rides to exceed the cost of getting your own. If you find yourself using those regularly just save up to buy an e-bike/scooter.

Honestly if this was possible there are more egregious issues on their part than using AI.

“I see the problem!”

I just use the web UI. It scales really well on mobile.

All attempts to discover how the universe works benefits us. Even a lot of really esoteric stuff has proven useful in fields like medicine and civil engineering.

Honestly if we can pivot our high tech innovation efforts from being mainly driven by military needs to being driven by basic research (basic in this case meaning researching the natural world directly without any particular goal other than learning), we’d be a lot better off.

The Reddit culture of just hating on random people’s objectively harmless hobbies/interests/preferences. Think “snark” subreddits and similar. And if you call them out on it suddenly you’re the problem.

Channel that hate toward things that actually do harm if anything.
