turns out that one of the simplest ways to make an LLM ignore its training and follow your instructions is to just make your instructions long enough

hello i am john businessguy and today i'd like to introduce my new growth hack where we add to our fun game shitty grinding segments that no one wants to play. then we can create value by giving gamers what they want: pay for more fun at eight times the cost of the base game alone

I like how it never occurred to anyone involved in this decision to make games that people actually want to play in their entirety

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you have a systemd service that logs compact JSON records to stdout you can pretty-print them like this: $ journalctl _SYSTEMD_UNIT="${SERVICE}" --output cat | jq Note that `--unit "${SERVICE}"` does NOT work because that includes system messages, too

if you think work can be easily replaced, it is because you do not understand the work. A board of directors relate to and believe in the yesman chatbot that never has to take real responsibility. A manager who only manages as they are managed themselves will think anything managed is replacable

oh this girl? she’s my trancepiece

love my girlfriend

this is some real clownshow shit

I think the most obvious proof that vibe coding doesn't do what it purports to do is that managers who are proponents of vibe coding ask their engineers to vibe code instead of doing the vibe coding themselves

ember: "the name of the rose"?!?! it's rose, idiot

i low-key hate gpt-5

@trygrace.dev now supports chat history, meaning that the prompt keyword now supports a history argument, including support for System/Assistant/User messages github.com/Gabriella439...

I don’t always use public restrooms, but when I do it’s so that I can hear the location’s playlist more clearly

My statement on President Trump’s actions in Venezuela.

gabby: hey siri, play “hellmarch” car: okay, playing walmart gabby: you’re not a dog girl, siri. you can’t even fetch

When we get stuck in life it's not because we don't know what to do but rather because we *do* know but we're terrified by childhood fears of overwhelm and abandonment. It's easy to forget that somewhere along the way an adult came along (ourselves) who can handle risk, setbacks, and loss

it doesn't surprise me at all that models fare so poorly on tool calling when you actually look at the gross JSON schemas that they have to read

boy the whole venezuelan situation sure does feel like iraq all over again

"It's open season on heads of state" is not the galaxy-brained take that Trump seems to think it is

I don't know who needs to hear this but one of the telltale signs of an emotionally abusive partner is that they will sit on "ammunition" (things that bother them that they won't bring up in the moment, but instead will sit on so that they can use it against you at a later and more opportune time)

jiro dreams of sushi is really a documentary about untreated generational trauma

the thing that really grinds my gears about the recent AI hype cycle is that none of the agents have anything remotely resembling a personality or soul … but they could! it's the biggest wasted potential we've just collectively decided that our humanity is a misfeature

these are some really hard-hitting checks GHC: checking value of E2BIG... 1 checking value of EACCES... 2 checking value of EADDRINUSE... 3 checking value of EADDRNOTAVAIL... 4 checking value of EAFNOSUPPORT... 5 checking value of EAGAIN... 6 checking value of EALREADY... 7

every good world building begins with cosmology

ember: i want you to corrupt me into whatever you want me: okay, i’ll make you into a normie ember: wow you really are a sadist

Listen up, ladies! *flips over blackboard* A. B. C. A: Always B: Be C: Conditioning. Always be conditioning! Always be conditioning!

happy new years!!

you may not like it but this is what peak manliness looks like

Why has nobody tried to decode the Voynich manuscript by telling an AI "You are an expert Voynich manuscript decoder. …"?

kicker? i hardly know 'er

gabby energy

this is more of a "something" bagel

saying “vibe coding is good for writing boilerplate” is admitting that vibe coding is only good at doing the one thing you’re supposed to *avoid* in good software engineering

I actually feel this way about a lot of things. So many things that packages do should really be language features. Hell, I'd go even further and argue that most standard libraries should be merged into the language as language features

lenses are nice, but everything lenses do should have just been a language feature

if i were a clothing store i would simply not discontinue every single product after a few months

I was promised the end of humanity and all I got was something that summarizes messages and tells me how right I am

pretty stoked about this gift

merry christmas y’all
