scrumptious

people roll their eyes when people like me or George Hotz insist on owning their stack from kernels up to high-level architecture oh boo hoo hoo, bad C++ code isn't memory safe? well, Python package managers will just download TLA malware directly to your machine and execute it, no biggie

hey, so uh. I know we say nice things about Anthropic around here a lot, but under no circumstances would I recommend people use Anthropic's Dispatch, and I would blanket-ban, fully disable, their computer-use stuff they're off the rails with this stuff and it's irresponsible to have normies use it

WHAT

we told you, bro. we warned you about proprietary software

I'm begging for anarcho-Bidenists to add an ounce of Reaganomics to their politics.

Another university getting rid of things you could only ever do at a university and replacing them with stuff a 13-year-old can do on a phone

oh shit. zig can compile to spirv???

She’s great. And the phone gags can be quite funny too.

okay apparently it's official now, minimax 2.7 (reputed to be strongly claudelike) *is* going to be open, thank fuck

is anyone doing blockchain-based timestamp attestation yet? would that be a viable way of decentralizing it?

im nowhere near understanding sabine hossenfelder's argument for FTL propagation but i really hope she's right. partly bc that would ofc be awesome, but also bc her blood feud with academic groupthink is extremely relatable

new qwen3.5 122a10b decensor seems substantially smarter that the version i was using before. not sure if that's due to the particular decensoring strategy or the "q4_k_p" quant old.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA...

perhaps the real exponentiating x-threat was inside us all along

still kind of reeling about the homomorphic encryption thing like I never thought this was going to be a practical and useful technology. feels way more magic than LLMs honestly. like, we already had an existence proof hard AI was possible, but homocrypto just flies in the face of all reason

highly specific category of Great Man who, despite being an unmitigated dumpstergoblin with an immovable lust for iniquity, lamented at length by his every contemporary, ends up bending the long-term trajectory of civilization towards outcomes markedly less grimdark

" ...while in communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow,-{⬇️}" -Marx, The German Ideology

still a better love story than RP1

I wonder sometimes what the 20th century would have been like without amphetamines. like, how much of Nazi Germany's paranoid psychopathy was downstream of its leadership gobbling pervitin like candy?

tfw friendly & positive interactions all set off the same kind of panic and dread that outright screaming hostility does trying to be social again was maybe not a great idea

I am absolutely betting on this. I don't want to spend the rest of my life working - let alone the next 5 years. Every day of employment is a struggle to survive until AI automates enough white collar computer jobs to force Congress to pass a UBI to stop the Middle class from rioting in the streets

this is the thing about deepfakes that really freaks me out. less their ability to actively deceive, more that they corrode reality just by existing in principle, becoming an infinitely flexible excuse to ignore evidence.

qualia should be safe, legal, and rare

people experience those things every day living in the contemporary United States

strongly doubt it

Everything is a psyop

Kamala’s words: “When Donald Trump was president, he let Iran off the hook after Iran and its proxies attacked U.S. bases and American troops” You won’t listen because you refuse to acknowledge reality, because you have no interest in understanding what people other than you saw and heard.

The speedup for using llama.cpp over naive hf transformers is wild -- shockingly ridiculous.

you laugh but "selling socialism as a lifestyle brand for teenagers" really cuts to the heart of leftist discourse in america

> the problem is, Marxism has been coopted by the working class I think this may legitimately be the most breathtakingly idiotic take i've seen since "5g microchips cause covid". like this is a memetic weapon, precision-engineered to segfault my entire fucking amygdala. words fail me

It's not so much that the contemporary left is post-Marxist as it is sub-Marxist, has essentially regressed compared to what it was in the 20th century.

giving qwen 122a10b a shot for codegen. definitely seems like it can handle Zig better than 35a3b, and maybe coder-next? only getting ~5tps tho which is pretty brutal for agentic work. just about bearable with hybrid attention

I wish we'd standardized on the Harmony format instead of chatml. one of the few things closedai got right
