"imagine everything is a file"

OS is designed by Bell Labs, of Unix and C fame, but ok.

EDIT: I think some of the in-jokey, arty farty culture about it is because the rest of us didn't run with it, it's basically for hobby and personal use - so its culture now. But about any one I know who has used it enough to "grok" it kinda is like "wow if this won" because its kinda such a paradigmatically good thing whole kind of cottage industries of software may not even exist because the user would be able to write a pipe from a file that is a device to write to another one type thing.

Ah, the hell site, no click.

Wait, so they could say, write a linked list out, or bubble sort, but not understand what it was doing? like no mental model of memory, registers, or intuition for execution order, or even conceptual like a graph walk, or something? Like just "zero" on the conceptual front, but could reproduce data structures, some algorithm for accessing or traversing, and give rote O notation answers about how long execution takes ?

Just checking I have that right... is that what you meant?

I think that's what you were implying but it's just want to check I have that right? if so

... that ... is .... wow ...

Shame is a good thing it shows one has a conscience and positive self regard.

Just like pain is a good thing, it tells you and signals to remove your hand from the stove.

This comes from not having a specific area or understanding, if you ask it about an area you know well, you'll see.

hey I found this project december 23 and you just commented on another thing I posted "amazing one shot that" I will give you an invite if you want (because it also does that) check bio will add contact dets now...

it was posted to this site earlier about 20 days ago and front paged and hilariously about half the comments were shooting it down the top voted comment was even "this is the worst website ever" lol xD and they since invite only to manage abuse (its a very capable service and currently free)

It's capable of what you just mentioned, and it made the other site that one-shot you said was amazing for the one shot (literally cut and paste the comment into the prompt, then 2nd was "Good, now do it better")

well, technically 2, my second was "good, now do it better"

woah that looks nice!

hey, I just copy and pasted your comment into an agent I hope you don't mind.

one shot result:

you could do the same, or I could give you access to this one if you want.

My city (Sydney) is known for having a huge supply of water & the council is now talking about shortage and need for planning as they expect the data centre in 1 block to be using 25% of it because of the AI tools https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08-27/ai-to-take-up-one-qua...

Thank you most excellent mod!

As I understand it - a person with psychosis is someone who has over-weighted perceptions that cannot be corrected with sensory input. Hence to "bring someone to their senses".

I've seen and thought there might be a few programmers maybe with a related (not psychosis) "ai mania" - where one thinks one changing the world and uniquely positioned. It's not that we're not capable in our small ways with network effects, or like a hand touch could begin the wave breaking (hello surfers!) what distinguishes this capacity for small effects having big impacts from the mania version is the mania version bears no subtle understanding of cause and effect. A person who is adept in understanding cause and effect usually there's quite a simple, beautiful and refined rule of thumb the know about it. "Less is more". Mania on the other hand proliferates outward - concept upon concept upon concept - and these concepts are removed from that cause and effect - playful interaction with nature. As a wise old sage hacker once said "Proof of concept, or get the fuck out"

Where mania occurs in contrast to grounded capacity that does change the world is in the aspect of responsibility - being able to respond or be responsive to something. Someone who changes the world with their maths equation will be able to be responsive, responsible and claim, a manic person there's a disconnect. Actually, from certain points of view with certain apps or mediums that have a claim to universality and claiming "how the world is" it looks like there's most definitely already some titans of industry and powerful people inside the feedback loop of mania.

The should just go for a walk. Call a childhood friend. Have a cup of tea. Come to their senses (literally).

it's good to remember we're just querying a datastructure.

That link is hidden. No I am not signing up to what ever site that is because it breaks the web and obviously wants to live rent free on open standards.

yeah that is what I was thinking "Ah how cute, it's the ops team from a state" lol but probably not - didn't look into / not interested but guessing it's an existing info sec consultancy behind it that do sometimes work those kinda places or banks etc.

That is weird isn't it "Asian, African, European"

What you are trying to say is they are plagiarists and training on the input?

We know that already I don’t know why have to be quiet or hint at it, in fact they have been quite explicit about it.

Or is there some other context to your statement? Anyway that’s my “take that for what you will”.

As someone that like to play piano and guitar - I could see this immediately as something to improve my skills and playing by ear

For me I was thinking a thought I almost never think and is long forgotten "where is that old home button in my browser so I can set this as my homepage, or maybe I have to solve 2-3 of these before I can log in to my computer" xD

"insubstantive" is a nice word - software that is modifiable by the user at run time - I guess like scripting "it's just throw away" or emacs bit of elisp and keyboard macro and move on "insubstantive"

Embrace the insubstantive! Otherwise - enjoy when you have a "problem" sitting down and having to abstract more and find the general and solve for "N" because the time investment was high and the tools did not allow for this sort of sketching, insubstantive, throwaway type thing.

This line of thought does not apply to the tortilla, the roti and the naan.

YMMV

Ok this wins my “best wikipedia article of December” award

access denied.

It would be funny if it was literally the best website I've seen in like a year...

... which it is.

> but it starts at 4 AM for me.

It ends at 1am their time. The conference itself never stops there are people there around the clock. (I wish I could go!! I went to 28c3 in Berlin and 29c3 in Hamburg they were amazing)

Thanks for that! You mentioned Antigravity seemed slow, I just started playing with it too (but not really given it a good go yet to really evaluate) but I had the model set to Gemini Flash, maybe you get a speed up if you do that?

Oooooo, woah, I didn't really "get it" thanks for spelling it out a bit, just thought of some crazy cool experiments I can run if that is true.

I wonder if you could query some of the ideas of Frege, Peano, Russell and see if it could through questioning get to some of the ideas of Goedel, Church and Turing - and get it to "vibe code" or more like "vibe math" some program in lambda calculus or something.

Playing with the science and technical ideas of the time would be amazing, like where you know some later physicist found some exception to a theory or something, and questioning the models assumptions - seeing how a model of that time may defend itself, etc.

There is and it's called "dad"
