pjio··on The vi family
Being able to choose is a good thing. Use what works for you. I prefer the terminal, but not as hard core as switching to a TTY and never see a GUI again...
pjio··on US special forces soldier arrested after allegedly winning $400k on Maduro raid
I meant the separation of powers between the executive, legislative and judicial branches. Maybe this is more of a thing in Europe, even if not perfect here.
pjio··on US special forces soldier arrested after allegedly winning $400k on Maduro raid
In theory the separation of powers should prevent this.
pjio··on HyperAgents: Self-referential self-improving agents
Ethical constraints. Just let me fix this...
pjio··on How I use Claude Code: Separation of planning and execution
You mean there will be an invention to edit files directly instead of giving the specific code and location you want it to be written into the prompt?
pjio··on Matchlock – Secures AI agent workloads with a Linux-based sandbox
Thanks! I will keep it in mind as an even more secure alternative.
pjio··on Matchlock – Secures AI agent workloads with a Linux-based sandbox
If I'm already on Linux, how does it compare to using bubblewrap?
pjio··on Being "Just a Developer" Isn't Enough Anymore
I've done "being not only a developer" for some time. It's okay, even fulfilling but sometimes exhausting. Would have liked to take a break at some cushy, technical only position. Damn, should have done this while still possible...
pjio··on Someone at YouTube Needs Glasses: The Prophecy Has Been Fulfilled
Is there a setting to disable it globally or has every video to be switched?
pjio··on Postman which I thought worked locally on my computer, is down
Question: Do I miss something by not using Postman? My alternatives for development are "Edit and Resend" of a request (in Firefox) and plain old curl scripts for reusable examples.
pjio··on Everything that's wrong with Google Search in one image
Just to nitpick on the example: When a trusted or frequently used webpage is bookmarked, search can be restricted to those bookmarks with `*` in Firefox and with `@bookmarks` in Chrome.
pjio··on Germany is not supporting ChatControl – blocking minority secured
It's a lot of text, but I believe still written by a human. An angry human. That's how I assume it (likely) wasn't chatgpt.
pjio··on MIT Study Finds AI Use Reprograms the Brain, Leading to Cognitive Decline
First step out of this mess: Use AI only to proof read or get a second opinion, but not to write the whole thing.
pjio··on VIM Master
Good UX matches expectations. Vim trades easy defaults for adaptability, therefore the expectations are different.
pjio··on Work Life balance slows careers
I usually optimize for efficiency of my work hours. While I can be quite productive even with fewer hours in good conditions, coworkers who are willing to spend more hours and be more available can run over me. It's like a fight forced upon one: Who can maintain a bit of productivity while time and focus needs to be sacrificed due to conflict?
pjio··on All AI models might be the same
I believe the joke is about David Beckham not really being (perceived as) human, even when compared to personified evil
pjio··on When Your Exit Strategy Dream Is My Customer Nightmare
I sometimes wonder if the best way to dominate a market would be to grow sustainable and wait out the competition until they crash themself with their self sabotaging strategy of unhealthy, exploitive behavior. This article was just, what I needed to read today.
pjio··on Using Microsoft's New CLI Text Editor on Ubuntu
Quitting vim isn't about exiting the program, which can easily be done with :!kill -9 $PPID
pjio··on What happens when clergy take psilocybin
Those studies should also include if the individuals taking substances become better or worse for the lives of the people around them in a sustainable way.
pjio··on AI Changes Everything
After decades of trying to make the code encapsulate as much meaning in as few words as possible now there seems to be a new trend of "more code is better" and because AI writes and reads it, it's ok. I'm already sick of finding subtle bugs in AI generated code, looking at fever dream like AI images and reading text without the intentional style which indicates a human writer.
pjio··on We Should Let a Lottery Decide Our Government (2019)
As an additional committee which has to approve laws this might really make sense.
pjio··on We Should Let a Lottery Decide Our Government (2019)
I'm absolutely for trying this out. But not in the country I live in.
pjio··on Germany creates 'super–high-tech ministry' for research, technology, aerospace
The title is strange: In german news there was nothing that sounded like "super hightech ministry" not even a "superhigh tech ministry". But the ministry for "education and research" got split, assigning education to the ministry for family, leaving more room for the research part which got an additional focus on technology.
pjio··on North America Is Dripping from Below, Geoscientists Discover
It's bad that America is melting from below under Trump. But did you know, that Earth was circling around a never ending nuclear fusion explosion under Biden? /s
pjio··on SpaceX building NASA craft to destroy the International Space Station
... after retiring
pjio··on Latest ChatGPT 4 System prompt (1,700 tokens)
Layman question: Does the ability to "understand" such orders arise from one of the many layers which transform the tokens or is it hidden in the parameters/weights or is this due to some special type of attention head?
pjio··on It's time to admit that genes are not the blueprint for life
The code analogy is right in this aspect: The data has a quantized form. But to know the storage format does not explain the higher emergent properties. Those are not comparable to programming languages, which are optimized for human understanding.
pjio··on In case you missed it: America got much bigger continental shelf
til: 1/2 Egypt = 1 California
pjio··on Don't Shave That Yak (2005)
I'm missing some actionable advice. Obviously "just leave the primary requirement in the chain unfulfilled" is the first step. Maybe it resolves itself later or will not be required at all. But I often see situations, where the solution would be to "shave the yak so you and everyone else can do X". But probably this is part of the "maybe it resolves itself later" strategy, just from the other perspective.
pjio··on Multifaceted: The linguistic echo chambers of LLMs
Interesting, will have a look into it! My phrasing came from a story about the discovery of a "Sentiment Neuron" in an earlier test in 2017 at OpenAI. Makes sense to have clusters of neurons for more complex concepts.
