my C++ advice is don't ever assume anyone on the internet knows what the hell they're talking about, especially if they speak with confidence. if you actually want to know how something works, look it up in the draft standard. seriously. I know it reads like vogon poetry. look it up on cppreference.com if you want a more straightforward explanation but if you really care about correctness you should still refer back to the standard afterwards.

gentle reminder that if you find yourself reaching for a flathead screwdriver for something that isn't driving a screw or a butter knife for something that isn't spreading edible goo, there's probably a tool that was made specifically for the task you're trying to accomplish and is tremendously less likely to grievously injure you

it's kind of depressing how many people's problem with piracy isn't the idea of the artists not making rent but the idea of someone getting something without paying for it

the paper "ChatGPT is bullshit" argues that the term "hallucination" misrepresents LLMs as agents which:
perceive reality
attempt to communicate that perception
sometimes fail in either of the two preceding steps
and that they are better understood as agents which consume massive amounts of information from the internet and regurgitate that information inaccurately with the primary aim of appearing to be intelligent.
💡 LLMs are just HN posters

a step-by-step guide to organizing the world's information and making it universally accessible:
make a good search engine
aggressively capture the entire market by tying the revenue model of every website to your search engine
nosedive your entire shit directly into the ground. just fucking dynamite it. go nuts

reiterating my position that unix is just a bare-metal virtual machine (in the sense of jvm) for a programming language where all data are strings and every subroutine invocation is a fork+exec and doesn't it sound completely absurd when you put it like that?

okay it took like eight hours but I finally got my telecaster fret-dressed, shielded, re-strung, and set up
shout out to the conductive "shielding" paint that does jack squat to reject noise but does a fantastic job of preventing the copper shielding tape from adhering to the guitar
shout out as well to all the solder joints that are precision-engineered to be as big a pain in the dick to remove as possible

Last boost: When we talk about so-called "AI", it is easy and tempting to focus on the fact that the product is bullshit and doesn't do 95% of what is claimed. It isn't sentient, it isn't intelligent, it doesn't have a personality. The cutting edge of AI is an overgrown Magic 8 Ball.
But it's important to remember that the point of the technology isn't to "work". The tech industry (read: capital) is not excited about AI because it can deliver on a promise of correct or meaningful results. Capital is excited about AI because, irrespective of whether it "works", it benefits capital.
In the application cited, the LLM is not a technology for predicting human behavior. That's just window dressing. It's a technology for laundering accountability. It does not exist so your boss can "right-size" the right people. It exists so when your boss gets caught disproportionately "right-sizing", say, black employees, your boss can say: I'm not racist; the computer made those decisions. Computers can't be racist!

@npub12ze…hunm oh is that one of those funky ones that look like they came out of a fender workshop in an alternate timeline?

2023-07-12 05:21:14

I love the fender telecaster because if you find one with just the right finish and look at it from just the right angle, the illusion is dispelled and you realize that someone just took a child's drawing of a single-cutaway acoustic guitar, used it as a template to cut a slab of wood on a bandsaw, and slapped some electronics and a set of strings on it. even the headstock just looks like a comical profile drawing of the scroll on a real instrument
