I feel that I might also benefit from a software harness

It used to be the case that publishing stuff on the internet wasn't really a guarantee that your work will last forever but now we regularly scrape the whole thing and encode it into gigantic text models, ensuring anything you post will live on in some form as an element of llm cognition.

Its weird to me that whenever bluesky listens to user feedback everyone in the replies is still mad, having got what they wanted but not had what they wanted magically anticipated ahead of time.

"rude" is a goofy label for moderation since its sort of definitionally arbitrary. Rude just means going against social norms but like, whose social norms?

Sometimes claude does just pipe a page of script into python and I just say fuck it and hit yes

The real problem with cyber security in the ai age is that security is always about making intrusion more expensive rather than impossible, and ai drives the cost of exploit hunting to zero over time. No idea what you do about this.

yep

llms love telling you the [something] is the [something else]

--somewhat-dangerously-skip-some-permissions

Cant be mad about ai training violating copyright because I believe that mankind's knowledge is the common property of all, to be done with as each of us individually sees fit.

Yes you probably do want your bank to be extremely careful about vibe coding but I think its silly to pretend like most people in software work in environments where you need to be 100% correct and safe at all times. Its even more absurd to assert that this applies to people's fun hobby projects.

top chicken thoughts

fuck I am procrastinating all the hardware testing I have to do for claude I am the weakest link

Should I be using a custom system prompt for Claude Code? I am generally suspicious of overly customizing configuration if you dont have several hundred hours of experience using the defaults.

Doing good technical work has always required knowing when to go fast vs when to be careful and ai just adds whole new regions of that tradeoff space to explore.

I think the anti ai side is ultimately destined to lose because using claude code (or whatever equivalent) is fun and at the end of the day the side that is opposed to fun loses.

the heptapods from arrival are in the dream blunt rotation for sure

I need more desks tbh

Im not a polycule type trans but it does seem like a convenient arrangement as far as access to machine tools and computer equipment goes

digital signal processing is such a wonderful applied math subject

Oh I know a scifi story about the hijinks you could get up to with a non deterministic Turing machine FUCK qntm already did that one too

the phases of my life neatly partitioned by which jacket I compulsively wear everywhere

Im having enough trouble reducing the net amount of entropy in my apartment

I find yelling/swearing at claude abhorrent, and also I have never had reason to do so. I wonder if the two are causally related.

I still yearn for the plan9 dream of a computer that is a network of all your devices

the laundry app my apartment complex uses does not reliably tell you when your laundry is done but it does have an ai chatbot you can talk to

The enterprise is very obviously vibe coded have you seen how bad their computer security is?

why dont they just live in the holodeck there's apparently infinite space in there

Im pretty thoroughly convinced that every misunderstanding in the world can effectively be explained as sampling bias

Interesting new ai age of "you can have anything you want, instantly at your fingertips, but you have to know what to ask for"

I keep hearing that ai tokens are heavily subsidized and must soon get more expensive, but In the time Ive been using it they've only every given me more claude to use?

Kinda crazy you can have claude design a filter chain for you and then create a notebook with verification plots in one shot. I remember trying to get ai to do dsp stuff like 2-3 years ago and it completely failing.

I think its reasonable to assume the new ghost in the shell will fix all the problems with my life

I need spellcheck in claude code so claude doesnt think Im stupid. Im just dyslexic!

Its understandable why artists are generally polarized against ai. The people making ai have a fairly good understanding of the types of tools programmers want and basically no clue how to make good tools for artists.

We conjure the spirits of the computer with our spells We conjure the spirits of the computer with our spells We conjure the spirits of the computer with our spells We conjure the spirits of the computer with our spells We conjure the spirits of the computer with our spells

they should make an ai agent thats RL'd to assume the user is smart and capable instead of a complete dunce

Its crazy how much "just use markdown for everything" stays winning

My downstairs neighbors are extremely loud, somehow always banging things around at all hours. They also make a sounds which I can only describe as pushing a giant boulder around, my partner and I joke that they are moving an olmec head around.

I dislike when claude says "thats actually a good idea" and then explains why my suggestion is the correct approach, like I didn't know that and just stumbled into a better answer by accident lol

claude + obsidian vault = exobrain ?

Its time to re listen to all the culture audiobooks again

The classic paper clip maximizer is more of a story about how scary non-deterministic turing machines would be than about how scary ai is.

"all it does is predict the next token" is actually the interesting part of llms

Guys who do neither of those three things always seem super confident they can evaluate how useful ai is for them.

also they probably have a sentient clockwork computer built by da Vinci in the Vatican basement

not to be too reddit atheist but I dont really get celebrating the pope saying we need to organize all of society and technology around god and christian principles.

So like, is the Vatican philosophically opposed to pacemakers?

Wow the organization that fetishizes human suffering as its central tenet is anti trans humanist?
