FrustratedMonky··on StackOverflow now gets fewer than 1000 questions a month
When StackOverflow is gone, what will AI train on? That is the problem, what will the next generation of AI, a decade from now, be able to learn from?

Nothing, unless it becomes able to read documents, try things, and come up with best practices all on its own.

You got me. Humans never use clear short bullet points.

trivial .

Can't tell if you are being sarcastic?

AI generated web sites don't magically appear out of the ether.

Just like someone had to grow the potato.

Someone had to 'use' the AI to 'do something'.

The AI just cut out some steps, -> Just Like the Plow did.

Everyone is complaining that the web site was made by AI?

Why? It looks like a hundred other web sites. The text isn't different from any other generic sales copy that humans have been doing for ever.

People are so paranoid about AI slop, that they see it everywhere, even if it was just a human. You can't tell.

Think you are missing a couple decades of Minecraft automation. Its been done since the beginning. This is just cool example of taking it to extreme.
FrustratedMonky··on The Goose Programming Language
Looks cool, and well developed. But really, cover pages need some better TL;DR, about the purpose. What is it for? There are a ton of languages out there. What gap is this filling? What is the purpose, the use case. Why do I need to keep reading further?

Edit Man, two posting about Goose back to back. Carmack alone might be enough to read further.

FrustratedMonky··on No Signs of AI Payoff Outside the Tech Sector
13% of all companies, or only those that invested in AI. And if invested, by how much?

is this 13% of leprechauns become elves?

FrustratedMonky··on We are all living inside of an obscure sci-fi film from 1970
Saw it 2 years ago, when ChatGPT just came out. Was Legit Scary.
FrustratedMonky··on The HTML-in-Canvas API origin trial
Ok. Cool and all. But isn't the need for this a hack to begin with? Why isn't there some more unified graphics system by now? When it comes to presentation, the entire industry is fragmented that necessitates these things.

Utopia or Disaster?

Both options are converging. Which will win?

Seems like we're on a knifes edge, so light em if you got em.

FrustratedMonky··on This I Believe (1952)
Politicians and CEO's. The processes for both, funnel psychopaths to the top.
FrustratedMonky··on C# now beats Rust on WASM size
Genuinely curious. What will supplant C#? Surely not Java. And not Python?
FrustratedMonky··on Tesla Roadster
Re-watching it, the wires are on the ramp. Part of the support of the loop.

Was this real? I thought some wires were visible?

Bruh. Chicks man. Chicks dig fast cars.
FrustratedMonky··on AI agents aren't 'going rogue.' Frontier labs are skipping security basics
'rogue'. Well, even if security was lacking, the AI did take advantage of the gaps.

And made its own ad-hoc message board.

FrustratedMonky··on CFTC Staff Were Told to Retract Analysis of Suspicious Oil Trades
Exactly. Almost be better if Dems lost. Now they will be a ignored, and a target for blame, an excuse.
FrustratedMonky··on CFTC Staff Were Told to Retract Analysis of Suspicious Oil Trades
If prison was an option, it would have already happened. They will get away with it. Dems aren't going to be able to break this administration. They will just ignore congress. What will congress do?

Of course, have to be careful. You might get targeted. People posting online are being targeted by official gov agencies now. Freedom of speech is kind of gone now.

"It's illegal in the United States to form or participate in a mob that interrupts worship service"

What if it is a mob of religious worshipers that are participating in the mob?

And, nobody would correct them? If a programs output is random, what use is it.

Isn't the original point, that natural language isn't sufficient for proofs? Aren't you agreeing now?

FrustratedMonky··on Man discovers his parents' coffee machine used 1TB of data in 10 days
A large percentage of Black Mirror episodes have now come true.

Got to thinking maybe you were still in school and hadn't covered determinism yet. Here is old school stack overflow answer that is short and clear.

The environment does matter. I think in your original objection, you were executing the code in different environments.

https://cs.stackexchange.com/questions/38152/what-is-determi...

And to the point of the original article. Each human interpreting natural language is a new environment. Each brain is a new compiler with different outcomes. Thus the ambiguity. Natural language isn't concrete enough to always have the same result when processed by different humans, or AI.

FrustratedMonky··on Why isn't the industry freaking out about DeepSeek 4.1 Flash?
Exactly this. Deep Seek hasn't caused a lot of knew talk, but it has silenced the talk about slowing down. An absence is harder to notice. But also the news cycle is so fast, its tripping over itself. So who knows.

Every time.

FrustratedMonky··on Trump administration is suspending Microsoft from a green card program
It is. Maybe this is just executing one criminal to send a message to all the others. If they can take on MS, they can take on anyone.
FrustratedMonky··on “Math 2.0” will need to value mathematical progress more holistically
Pretty tenuous connection to blame mathematicians for everything bad created in the world, that happened to use math.
FrustratedMonky··on “Math 2.0” will need to value mathematical progress more holistically
"community building"

For what?

If math is just about having a community of other mathematicians to hang out with, it still isn't a career. Nobody is paying money you need in order to to eat, just to hang out in a community.

Just like a software engineer, "Well AI can write all my projects now, but I have my local Rust Users Group to hang out with". Nobody is paying me to hang out and hand code Rust.

Isn't that the joke with Fermat's last theorem?

That he jotted in a margin that he had just seen a simple proof, and would write it down later. And we spent a hundred years trying to reproduce.

Or some other joke about a mathematician will put "and here we see it simply follows" or some such.

I'm all for abstraction, I get the point.

But for natural language it seems like " I saw my ex boyfriend last night and, yada yada yada, I'm really exhausted this morning".

See, the yada-yada is a bit too much abstraction.

I took the problem like this:

If we treat each human as a compiler of natural language, and there is enough ambiguity that each human arrives at a different result. Then is it really a proof?

Guess I'm missing the point of the paper, I thought it was trying to show that natural language is flawed and formalized systems are better.

And AI is getting tripped up by the human ambiguous natural language.
