and then release a 12-volume "making of"

Billard um halb Zehn 1984 Bluebeard

nabokov translated (wrote down in english prose the literal meaning of every line) "eugene onegin" for his russian lit course and wrote 3 volumes of footnotes to it (including decent syllabotonic renditions of many passages, the impossibility of which supposedly was the whole point of the exercise)

they've been poking at the 403 errors for more than a day now, and still have no idea you can deploy slopcode, but you can't fix slopcode

a child who gets hold of mom's phone and "plays" candy crush by blowing through the power-ups she's been saving up

there are layers

ray kurzweil got one thing right

my take is that he just noticed that first post (I think it's obvious he didn't write it) and reposted it in "I approve of this message" sense

slopcoding is ok when the code is 1. self-contained, 2. sufficient to be working only sometimes (or once), and 3. never changed in any way guess which of these this application is not

the yale hillbilly rolled into both places absolutely high on his own "when america speaks, you listen" glue fumes and was absolutely unprepared for the "how about no" that followed reality is a bitch, bitch

I would think this means that in his paternal line (of whom not much is known) he comes from a place 1. small enough and 2. where being a hungarian was unusual enough to be named "the hungarian"

I am actually surprised very unlike the orange turd to leave any grift, no matter how small, on the table there must be a market-clearing price on the bribes for ambassadorships that is more than zero

preach it

within the last month I have finished two large translation projects (~270K words each) that have been hanging over me for quite a while and now there are no msword tiles on the toolbar for the first time in two years

competent people are less likely to be evil and those who are both competent and evil are almost never subservient nymag.com/intelligence...

why can't it? it is low-quality slop, and also there is unlimited money to try to make the case that it is in fact the same as good writing which does succeed with people who have not developed their own criteria for what good writing is

just our luck that the president who figured out that "I can do whatever I want" is a valid take on the american system of government doesn't really want anything just grasping for shiny baubles in his view and moving to the next one once he's bored with it or it proves to be too difficult

today at work: one of the coworkers tried to use an LLM to actually make changes in source among other things, it replaced (not added, but actually "fixed") if (ex instanceof SomeException someEx) throw someEx; with if (ex instanceof SomeException) throw (SomeException) ex;

that's not even the point each of us already explicitly pays to be scanned airlines collect the fee for each ticket originating in the us and remit it directly to tsa

how do people do that licking orange turd's ass and waving a Ukrainian flag at the same time

Let's think the unthinkable, let's do the undoable. Let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

the last years and days have demonstrated beyond reasonable doubt that no wars are winnable anymore (those with actual goals, not "let's swing our warrior dicks around and be greeted as liberators") not with bombing into the stone age not with boots on the ground not even with partial occupation

so, I've got this idea of how we can do it so Conan, he's a king, right? like, he's been a king for a while he is an old king and it's a big kingdom, right? and he likes to go around his kingdom and he's got these three daughters

no like the polls these are fake numbers and he's getting great numbers, the best he ever had, by a lot it is impossible to deny physical reality in one spot and acknowledge it elsewhere he's left this world (not in the sense I'd prefer) whether anyone else does anything is a different question

4 in the house and 20 in the senate two dozen people out of 8 billion

I don't really know what is worse - that this is just a fuck you to the critics, or that he really believes it slop coding is bartolini's law on steroids you'll never be able to clean it all, no matter how many eyes and how much time you have

I have caused a diplomatic incident between soviet union and kenya

the relationship is inverse at some point in the process of learning Japanese you stop getting 日本語上手 every time you open your mouth and that's how you know you leveled up

also from russia france and uk should set up nuclear proliferation commissions just give them out like candy to the poles, finns greenland and iceland and ukraine of course

I think it went further than that in the last couple of years freshly baked cs majors often do not have skills to cleanly reverse a linklist at least not in 20 minutes of the interview the intersection of "same level of knowledge" and "went through the motions" narrowed significantly

5 authors I've read at least 10 books by: kurt vonnegut murakami haruki hermann hesse terry pratchett stanisław lem

A side note to "who is going to win" discourse. Hermann Hesse, a German-Swiss writer (and Nobel laureate), in 1920 wrote an essay titled "On Reading Books." It is short, all of three pages, and in it he outlines a classification of readers, consisting of three types.

andropov, who ran the kgb for 15 years and the country for 15 months, had a city renamed after him in 1984 they returned to the previous name 5 years later, while the soviet union was still standing

what gets me is that there still will be blacks, lgbtq+, latinos, jews, women voting for the republicans in 2026 and in 2028 and after that

@yuliamhersey.bsky.social I thought you'd like this headline psyche.co/ideas/the-ex... (the article itself is meh)
