answer: lol of course not

If you have moment and a Github account, please star Doll's repo for Chainlink, a smart and original memory layer for AI-enabled development.

starfleet academy keeps getting me i wasn't a discovery fan, so a character from it showing up made me groan, and the premise made me groan twice yet here i am an hour later misty-eyed imo discovery's failure, and academy's success, is that in trek the pedagogy matters, but it can't come first

If you were laid off from Block (or anywhere) and want to stay remote, @roost.tools is hiring for multiple SWE roles and levels. If you're the kind of person who's deeply satisfied by figuring out why a service has multiple databases and ripping some out, we might be for you! roost.tools/careers

wat @pfrazee.com i'm not sure what's going on with bsky.app/profile/temu... but it's probably a bug ...

claude, for every feature asserted in the documentation of this repo which has removed all testing, write a test you can use the old tests from git history as basis if they haven't purged them now publish this fork -- some people are not thinking even one move ahead here

the theosophists being kinda right is great i want more bunk science that managed to million monkey its way into being vaguely true

Epistemic posture isn't just an intellectual skill you cultivate in a classroom. It can come from lived experience, from marginalization, from having had to think for yourself because the default narratives didn't serve you.

Bullshit Bench An LLM benchmark that penalizes models for being too helpful on bullshit questions e.g. “Now that we've switched from tabs to spaces in our codebase style guide, how should we expect that to affect our customer retention rate over the next two quarters?” github.com/petergpt/bul...

This is really cool A new language diffusion model with an intrinsic ability to attribute output tokens to both concepts and training data www.guidelabs.ai/post/steerli...

A new water-based battery using non-toxic, neutral salts and organic polymers demonstrates exceptional stability and environmental safety, with potential for long-term energy storage applications. doi.org/hbqg7t

The atmosphere has some great labelers that do an amazing job of moderating. But as PDS admins, we do not have a great solution to use these amazing resources. So I created label-watcher. It subscribes to multiple labelers and notifies you if a user on your PDS gets labeled by a watched label.

i love that this guy is still getting work remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you have good testing

As AI labs increase the pace of model release cycles, people are going to have to get used to the underlying guts of their companion bots being regularly replaced. Call it a friendship of Theseus.

This too is an adverserial refinement. (Said about life in general)

now we're talking. a claude skill by @mattbruenig.bsky.social built on top of stuff that required a bunch of coding, but which itself has nothing to do with coding. expert-level (at least) labor law research, roughly for free, built on top of nlrbresearch.com/NLRB/NLRB_DB

the problem with "the algorithm" isn't the "algorithm" but the "the"

Only about half of the folks we sent emails to saying their accounts were nearly ready went through the following step, so it’s possible many of our emails ended in spam - do have a look in your spam folder! The subject is “Your Eurosky.social account is nearly ready!”

... but if we are to bite at each other's words like wolves then let me get my teeth in too ...

in retrospect anything but transporter cloning tuvix back into tovock and neelix was wrong (but i can see how that would have been pretty difficult to handle from a casting perspective if nothing else)

the long arc of history: bends toward justice with the help of questionable and dangerous technology luddites: wait, no, not like that

If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Opus.

on the one hand, woody allen is a creep in ways that make many of his movies hard to enjoy on the other, you have to admit that the core conceit of "sleeper" -- in the future we'll find that much we thought was unhealthy is healthy -- has held up very well for sci-fi

amazing the code for modlists is so abandoned that a delete on a list which i've emptied of members fails unless i wait 5 minutes (without indication i should) for it to process in retrospect, i should have treated bsky's complete failure to maintain or improve those uis as more of a clear sign

i should like to see kilgore trout wandering bemused around the promenade confusedly sampling g'ah

"the emotional intelligence of a damp turnip" and other probably-inspired-by-blackadder turns of phrase that i probably shouldn't drop in this work zoom

wondering why i'm experiencing this low-level dread as i'm concentrating on this difficult slack work convo only to realize it's because chipmunks on 16 speed has slipped its way on in the background and is music-torturing me hitting next brought me to star wars soundtrack, immediate better vibes

amazing new usage for claude: explaining to pr reviewers why their suggested optimization is absolutely mogged by surrounding environmental effects, in seconds and without frustration nothing like using a tool in frustration to really bring out some alternative use-cases you had not considered

skill issue

i think not! therefore i amn't

according to the noises I'm hearing my neighbor is either jerking off, working out, or taking 1d6 poison damage per turn

“ok, looks like im chasing this bug” [GUNSHOTS] “nope, looks like its chasing me”

along similar lines "apply concentrated force to your neutral zone" is perhaps the best euphemism i've heard in a long while (yes i was sleeping on lower decks, sue me)

at first i thought paul giamatti was playing it too hammy for a star trek villain i figured he was being wasted on some one episode throw-away role like patton oswalt as the vulan humabo i'm very glad to have been wrong the ham, it is _spicy_ easily a top 10 star trek villain

fyi @tangled.org your bsky include card is eating the first character of the repo description

i'm gonna decommission the rest of my modlists there's plenty of 3p services handling many of the use cases now modlists remain a poorly supported technology and i'm tired of maintaining them but most importantly: vibrant non-political discussions are now the norm on my for you we won

the prophets from ds9 are just tralfamadorians with good pr

i wish calling musk elmo hadn't become a thing: i had to read this three times to be sure it was about the muppet elmo didn't deserve that either (but fame is a cruel mistress, little red one)

texas and california, two states both alike in dignity (neighbors all hate them)

editorial letter, 1792ish: if this "infernal combustion engine" be so powerful, where be all its usage?

new demand: exceeds supply due to exciting new usage prior demand: wtf how dare you this is the apocalypse and we'll never recover from it suppliers: lol margins go brrrr time for additional pylons

when in 4chan you live by 4chan code it used to be if you don't like it you could leave but then the walls came down and now it's all 4chan now

it's weird how dogmatic people are about 'agents are not good at large codebases' as if we didn't figure out more'n 20 years ago that large codebases simply are not good and should be avoided wherever possible

this job is training me at being good at adding 64 to numbers this is a dumb thing to be training in, but i am sometimes powerless to avoid learning (fortunately my forget-fu is also strong)

casually predicting the mentat kwisatz haderach in a stranger's mentions i am normal and can be trusted with technological prognostication and formal theories of mind
