comp.lang.lisp, err the CL Pro mailing list, is bustling

Mary, after hearing the song: Yes, I did know. The angel literally told me.

We've just launched the first large, site-less (home, direct to participant) randomized trial for treatment of #LongCovid, testing tirzepatide (a GLP-1 drug) vs placebo. Please help spread the word www.scripps.edu/news-and-eve...

PSA: It’s called Instant Pot, not InstaPot.

"it is imperative to align my professional responsibilities to my system of ethics & my understanding of the science of infectious disease, immunology, ... I am unable to serve in an environment that treats CDC as a tool to generate policies & materials that do not reflect scientific reality" 1/3

Paris has removed the paving from its city hall square and transformed it into an urban forest. Stunning! 🤩

kinda wishing y2k did jack up all the computers at this point

fortune cookie with no fortune. it was nice knowing you all.

Naur (1985) was right about the theory building view of programming. So, by definition, vibe coded programs are dead on arrival: no one possesses the theory of the program. The programmer needs to revive the program with each generated chunk of code or forever be codependent with the LLM.

I’m tired of people expecting me to do something just because I know how to do it and they’re paying me

great HN comment on why vibe coding is not like programming in a higher level language: “Once you learned the higher level language the machine did precisely what you specified and you did not have to inspect the assembly language to make sure it was compliant.”

may I have the honour of alt texting this one

It's like they're speedrunning all the mistakes civic tech learned over the past 25 years.

OH: wtf is vibe coding; all I can fathom is someone on their computer, microdosing, surrounded by patchouli incense smoke, jimi hendrix velvet posters, black lights, and a bong

wavy-perforated toilet paper is literally the best invention since sliced bread, but I fear only the most anal-retentive among us appreciate this fact.

You mean the judge’s intense occult training through D&D did *not* prepare the judge to accept the invitation to enter a witches’ coven? Hmph.

Flight Attendant: “IS THERE A DOCTOR ON BOARD?!" Me: “I have a doctorate in Philosophy." Flight Attendant: “THE PILOT IS GOING TO DIE!" Me [soothingly]: “We're all going to die.”

I'd like to see more writing on how the Musk/Trump junta feels like a frontal attack on the entire concept of virtue, in even the most traditional senses. They are actively demonizing and punishing everyone who doesn't worship Mammon.

I thought I was behind on a project for class, but seeing posts/questions on the forum from other students makes me feel so much better.

touched snow today. the non-Floridians were confused.

not a restate user (yet) but I'm glad they released a UI

every year the Oscars are a reminder of how I never go to the movies.

me: chatbots are slop machines and bullshit generators chatbot: you are a perfect specimen of the human race, cut from the cloth of the gods me: sounds about right

boneless and skinless chicken thighs but it still takes me 30 minutes to trim the fat

the gap on my resume is because i am not very good at microsoft word formatting

this company/app is like someone pulled an all nighter in their digital health equity class, managed to get an A, and thought “this can be a startup”

raw chicken always smells a bit funky to me so the “smell test” may or may not mean I will still be alive tomorrow.

I guess I'm a Wired subscriber now since they're willing to do the journalism we need here

i’ll never understand people who get in the fast lane just to drive the speed limit. this lane is for CRIME

I’m over forty. “The other day” is either three days or eighteen months ago.

This comments section is the first time I've felt even a shred of hope in eight days.

Ok, quick thread on why DeepSeek is blowing up assumptions about LLMs and maybe the whole (U.S.) AI industry. DeepSeek is an AI lab funded by a Chinese hedge fund, their AI code is open source, meaning freely available to use, which most big U.S. models (aside from Meta’s) are not. That’s the start…

if you’re pushing 40 I’m pretty sure sleeping less than 4 hours counts as an all-nighter amirite

I see the cocaine jokes are starting to roll in. Cool cool.

And, remember, if it is “non-denominational” it’s just Baptist, and definitely of the emotional experience kind.

I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know. In payment, I'd like to boil the world's oceans dry, & steal all literature. For some reason, my head is not on a spike

I'm on my university's tenure and promotion committee, and I spent half the day yesterday discussing the cases of scholars whose brilliant, groundbreaking, and life-saving work was made possible by federal research grants. And it's devastating to think of how much knowledge we'll lose going forward.

computers started local-first and will go back to local-first

we need the @dieworkwear.bsky.social breakdown here apnews.com/article/trum...

I’m not sure people quite grasp how much of the crypto world is reacting to the Trump memecoin launches.

Tech in 90s/2000s: here's a bunch of cool shit that will make life easier & more fun, and yea we'll get rich People: yay! Tech today: let's burn the planet for crypto and AI & require a data mining contract to use your toaster, because we need to get richer People: boo! Tech: everyone's gone woke
