gravifer··on Google stole open source code without crediting the authors (Artemis/Minitap)
The MO is so recognizable so I digged around.

This maintainer <https://github.com/somew1nd> is shady as hell.

It looks like the profile is a recent Chinese graduate, who have been working on a "challenge cup" <https://www.tiaozhanbei.net> robot project not very long ago.

Personally, I know that lot to appropriate stuff for themselves without blinking an eye. Believe me when I say I know.

Also, the OP seem to have been heavily downvoted, which I believe have been fudged.

Reporting this twit to his manager may be the right way to go.

gravifer··on After 7 years in production, Scarf has reluctantly moved away from Haskell
So is excel.

I actually enjoy python and astral tools a lot, but I think you are grasping for air here.

gravifer··on We're no longer attracting top talent: the brain drain killing American science
Seems like everyone forgot that before locking down in early 2020, Beijing was trying to ship the view that healthy people wearing masks is immoral - because HK protesters needed those to protect themselves from persecution. Oh, and umbrellas too, because surveillance cameras :) Really shows you the people in PRC huh?

(And then a U-turn where anyone that doesn't wear a mask [even for participating volleyball matches or flute concerts] is an enemy of the state. And if you are a disabled elderly and lockdown yourself, refusing the state-mandated tests, you are an enemy of the state. And they knock down your apartment doors to gas your cats and dogs.)

I really hope the red necks tearing down the procedural system of justice, as well as the left network hosts that got bedazzeled just after a trip to china know what they're asking for. Beware the wishes you make.

gravifer··on No Skill. No Taste
Really glad to have recently passed that bar

probably under a wrong thread, but can you point me to the one you intended? Really curious about that
gravifer··on Four Column ASCII (2017)
It really deserves some public documenting. People that was designing a charset for ANSI must have tried to think everything through; even more so than an 8-bit ISA because the charset was going to be inter-typewritters.
gravifer··on Confer – End to end encrypted AI chat
I asked the model about its capabilities, and it turns out it indeed can do Web searches; if it's not hallucinating, the backend server indeed decrypts the output of the LLM; only the user prompt is E2EEed against the server

Edit: I'm a little weary to find there is convenient import but not export functionalities. I manually copied the conversation into a markdown file <https://gist.github.com/Gravifer/1051580562150ce7751146be0c9...>

gravifer··on Which is "Bouba", and which is "Kiki"? [video]
We should rename Burbaki to Boubakiki

gravifer··on American importers and consumers bear the cost of 2025 tariffs: analysis
Funny how the Chinese general public is like so too. We call it 'accelerationism'. Trump... this ghoul is some .5c booster tho
