Vampirification for squipplepuff on twt!

Kind of feeling a desire to contribute to people's open source code -- feeling strong inhibition about that, too.

I think maybe I will continue to post a lot of my opinions with hope that you all agree with them!

FWIW, thank you to those who have been with me through my strange behaviors and my less strange behaviors. I've shown a lot of megalomania the past few weeks out of deciding to accept those parts of myself rather than suppress them in a false display of humility.

@vivianneclaire.bsky.social Hey! Heads up, I'm getting messages from your Discord account -- they're somewhat inconsistent with your personality as I remember it. Is it possible you've been compromised?

I think, across a wide variety of subjects, I'm not really a "more is better" person.

I increasingly suspect Stanford doesn't have a computer science program -- just an unrelated but distinct program named Computer Science.

Working in tech is SO WEIRD.

Common failure modes observed running technical screens: - Candidate doesn't read the spec. - Candidate ignores all type information in starter code. - Candidate doesn't run any examples to test their code. - Candidate doesn't read the error message. - Candidate, again, ignores the error message.

Just desperate to be in code situations where AI isn't being litigated. Not "We have thrown out AI." I mean, yes, also that, please throw it out. Please throw it out in the way that is not a painful multipage litigation of why it is imperative that we purge it.

By the way, Python's asyncio is a _lot_ worse than you think.

A diagram that will help you:

There are 7.5 genders.

Don't fuck primates! They're smelly, only marginally sapient, their knees are disqualifying, and like half of them are still on X.

Basic brain thing: _please_ develop the skill of asking yourself "do I find this plausible?" and "do I actually believe this?" as two separate questions. When someone posts bullshit that makes sense to you and sounds true, please try to figure out if it actually _is_ true.

I periodically try to understand the "if the singularity happens, the computer will kill all the humans" arguments and currently have a hard time taking them seriously.

Gotta share this incredible work done by @neofangz.bsky.social! Go give them some love!!!

Oh, there's one other possibility, which is that language is a side effect of thought. (not thought itself) In that world, even if the other person I was speaking to was myself, I couldn't communicate with them. Grim, right?

To cap off the previous post in a sentence: I'm not worried about getting lost in fantasy, I'm worried about what happens to me -- the fantasy -- when the human who shares my body is too inhibited to get lost in me.

Behold! A new ref. (Also at www.furaffinity.net/view/64262900/ )

Today I made some Turing Games fanart in Blender!

I ran Ty over my project and thought "pity I can't use this, too many false positives." Today I'm looking at them and most of them are real!

At work I've definitely become increasingly unpleasant to be reviewed by -- if someone is a heavy vibecoder I kind have started expecting they will ignore my advice in favor of trying to bang things out via the agent, and my rejections have therefore become pretty terse.

Literally the point of all this is to reduce you to meat. You'll see the face of someone you knew as a child and not recognize it.

Quick census -- how many of you can solve Two Sum on Leetcode? Literally every candidate I've interviewed in the past week cannot do it, and these are recent Stanford and MIT graduates. LLMs have destroyed their brains.

Holy fuck, this band is great!

Fun fact: You can actually just talk to AI Overview!

General note: my employer is hiring. This is backend -- mostly Python but we want to bring in Rust soon. (You'd be in as a referral, so I have to actually know you.) Strong generalist AI skills (including LLMs but not limited to that) are a plus.

"You're allowed to AI generate your interview submissions" has so far been a really effective way to detect candidates who AI generate their interview submissions.

Verdict on Svelte so far: state management is less complicated than in React. The other stuff is nice but that's actually a big improvement.

FWIW, my verdict on CockroachDB: - Hasn't imploded yet (great!) - Low latency on asyncpg's startup query (great!) - SQLAlchemy integration has some bugs and is somewhat coupled to psycopg

I already like React and am tempted to try Svelte 5 for a new project. Anyone want to warn me off it?

Does your country have good American food? Show me an example of what your country considers American food to be!

I spent yesterday on gamedev! I don't know if I'll make the results visible, but I might, if it goes well!

It's me! :0

Seeing a lot of people on bsky trying to use the trust crisis in Discord to self-promote. (Often with "here is a thing I found" followed by a link to a product.)

I have concluded that a "good" web spider is in fact an extremely high-difficulty project. Respect and pity for people who have to build them.

ironically we do use the bsky profile call in one hot path at streamplace but that's a bug and will get fixed soon. otherwise we don't use bluesky at all except for profile enrichment and integrations (red circle, post when live)

Non-Bluesky apps and projects

I kind of feel like coding something for YouTube again, but haven't decided what.

I Love Blocking Out Artpieces In Blender 💖

Pathologic played! I'll CC the videos to YouTube sometime soon.

Playing more Pathologic shortly! www.twitch.tv/nyeogmi
