wseqyrku··on AI Can Make You Suck Faster Too
Wow, that painful AI aided review process, it's like you are computering with eyes closed.
wseqyrku··on Apple caught off guard by AI demand for Mac Mini and Mac Studio
Sorry to interrupt. Magic Mouse. Thank you for your attention.
wseqyrku··on Apple caught off guard by AI demand for Mac Mini and Mac Studio
They have no "brand" left with all around hostile behavior wherever they can. The only brand they currently are so proud of is being more expensive than everyone else just because. It's been always a hardware company that doesn't even build their own hardware. Anyone can do that. Call up your investors.

is this a manufactured demand meme
wseqyrku··on Who Are We Now?
I've come to believe that "agentic programming" is modeled after how a typical CEO treat the employees below them and now they are turning it into a programming paradigm. They're even trying to apply the same patterns of optimization, e.g. if you modularize your code, you can run more agents in parallel! Yay.
wseqyrku··on California lawmakers unanimously pass Linux exemption from age-verification law
An OS should not be assumed connected to "collect" anything in the first place.

(had to rewrite my slightly angry comment earlier, this was basically my point.)

wseqyrku··on The internet is kind of a predatory cesspit now
Tech has gotten better, but people yeah, downward spiral to the bottom of hell, sadly. Hard to be not a cynic these days.

I have developed this clickbait allergy that I just won't read an article if the title doesn't adequately describe the post even if I'm interested. If it ends with ellipsis you don't even need to read the title (yes, it's almost always intentional).

There is probably a catalog of dark-patterns for the titles somewhere, but you can usually tell.

If you (try to) read the news you can get good at it very fast. It's amazing how they twist and bend words together to leave an effect on you even if you are just scrolling.

wseqyrku··on California lawmakers unanimously pass Linux exemption from age-verification law
How Linux is relevant to age-verification again? What was the question exactly?

Lawmakers unanimously are going to be sleeping when it gets dark at night.

wseqyrku··on Humanity has the debate about AI consciousness backwards
I can't tell if this is slop science or science slop.
wseqyrku··on Wikinews
I don't think it's that. Ever since google news went to shit I rely on wikipedia to read the news and I was surprised that wikinews was actually a thing and it was discontinued for .. this? My first guess was that it's because they don't have control over it as much as the "official" news outlets. So they just shut it down. It's important because the news is actually where things happen for the majority of people, this is why propaganda works afterall.
wseqyrku··on Wikinews
"the main cause of Wikinews's lack of success was that the wiki community was unable to gain first-hand knowledge of events or communicate with relevant people"
wseqyrku··on Visualizing Binary Files
I would like to see the CFG visualized for executable files. I imagine a recursive descent parser would resemble a spiral?
wseqyrku··on Andreessen Horowitz is investing billions into a bleak future
> Some have a thesis. Some have rules

You know I didn't just come out and say that. I actually liked Ben and his character (who doesn't, right?). Let's just say I got disillusioned about all of them in the correct order.

Talk is so cheap you wouldn't believe.

wseqyrku··on Andreessen Horowitz is investing billions into a bleak future
You think you "cope" and are being resilient, but enough people doing that actually leads to the said bleak future, at which point it doesn't matter who's to blame.
wseqyrku··on Andreessen Horowitz is investing billions into a bleak future
All investors do this, they don't really have an idea of "the future" they want to build. They just "find something they can throw money at". Their words, not mine.
wseqyrku··on I Just Want to Search
When was the last time you saw an ads-esque box and be like I am so glad you shoved it into my face! I guess Never at least if you are reading this.

More often than not you know exactly what you are looking for, you're not browsing to see what's out there. The systems should optimize for that instead of whatever this is.

wseqyrku··on AI boosted homework scores, then exam scores dropped: Study
> AI boosted homework scores, then exam scores dropped

This didn't need a study, it's 2+2

wseqyrku··on I'm becoming AI-blind
If you ever meet someone you knew from an online community it's a blast. Now reverse that: you know somebody IRL and find their twitter account, and it's a fucking nightmare. Like you are looking inside their brain's content and it just collapses the image you had in mind of their personality.

AI is surfacing layers you never had a chance to see, makes you rethink your career path and who you are willing to work with very fast.

wseqyrku··on There's no reason for software to be slow anymore
- Computer, enhance.
wseqyrku··on Why aren't smart people happier? (2022)
Now you sound like aligned AI — I get it
wseqyrku··on Why aren't smart people happier? (2022)
You can be angry all the time. I do this and it works out great since I don't have to explain myself anymore, everyone can totally just fuck off.
wseqyrku··on There's no such thing as a small software team anymore
Imo it should be against the social rules to fuck people over.
wseqyrku··on I don't think AI is a bubble
> AI can write much more code than it was possible

Code's utility was never meant to be measured by quantity. Everybody were on board on this when some managers started to count commits and realized that's stupid. They need a quick reminder again.

wseqyrku··on As More Americans Turn to Cannabis, Problem Use Is Increasing
If you are smoking everyday, what are you even doing, it will be just as effective as very expensive cigarettes. If you actually want it to count for something take a tbreak and then keep it on the low.
wseqyrku··on American AI May Not Survive Chinese Open-Source
What stops them to release their models as well? Not asking if greed has limits, it doesn't, I'm talking about a sensible business model that all things being equal consumers can decide for themselves if they want to use a domestic product or not which at that point, why not.
wseqyrku··on Why aren't smart people happier? (2022)
I suspect it's because they can see through all the bullshit but can't do much about it because being smart is not enough and actually makes you feel helpless and inconsequential.
wseqyrku··on There's no such thing as a small software team anymore
> but why would I want to run more agents?

Notice how difficult it is to turn off photo bursts in iPhone? Because that free cloud space needs to be filled fast. So ask your question again and you will find the answer very rapidly. They even gave it a cool name, "tokenmaxxing" what even the fuck.

wseqyrku··on Don't Paste the AI, please
> Don't Paste the AI, please

You're gonna need a stronger language. Why do you think people love AI? If I have to think and god forbid read the response I might as well live in the woods or something

wseqyrku··on Rewriting in Rust
changing the landscape of writi' you mean fucking shit up to the point of no return?
