I do wonder what public perception of LLMs would be in a world where hype and evangelism aren't the average person's primary initial exposure to them

"on an unrelated note" 🙅‍♀️ all phenomena are inextricably interdependent

You can’t beat Wellington on a good day - that is to say I get an immense amount of pleasure from watching water droplets ascend towards a clear sky in repudiation of rain’s primacy

society if rust had used the terms shared and exclusive from the beginning

one of the reasons i'm kinda glad that i've drifted away from tech sphere on here is that you're always expected to be a spokesperson for tech you like

i posted it in my group chat like a well adjusted person

istg I’m on the way to developing OCD, it’s crazy. I hope not but it seems increasingly plausible to me. The cope is that I’m under a lot of stress rn and from November onwards that should renormalise, which I’d like to imagine will halt it

Was going to watch a movie tonight, mucked around trying to get that working, and ended up organizing / tagging my music folder. I did not watch that movie...

found out that my mother in law decided she was aggressively pro trans rights literally by going, I don't know anything about this but everyone who is against trans rights is also against free school lunch, the issue I know and care a lot about, so this must be the correct way to feel about this

just woke up from a dream where my computer had the ip 2.0.0.0/8. like all of it. dude

um

it's fourslop

i do not support all trans women. some of you bitches are women

lots of jokes today about a private key of "4", for some reason but I'm sure that's not anything that actually happened in real life [touching earpiece] I'm just now being informed—

gonna start vagueposting about ideas that y'all know definitely aren't getting finished

girls night

I know that "white gay couples look like each other" is a stereotype but honest to god looking at the pictures of a high school friend with his boyfriend and honest to god they look so similar it's insane

hello i am db cooper the fbi is using the rust programming language to triangulate my position. i've filled their server with copies of "A Tour of C++" by Bjarne Stroustrop. that should keep them busy while i make my daring escape!!

I am like 30% conscious and I was not this conscious even six months ago. I truly can not remember experiencing thought from back then. I know I must have because all humans do, but it seems hard to believe when there’s no evidence

the humble extremely confused volcanologist reading about algebraic structures:

among the many other mild insults of interact with llm text, i keep thinking about how i'm losing the option to say "i don't know" in many contexts

love that the ctf club I help run is probably giving me mental illnesses that will take years to properly recover from. I am definitely not dealing with this next year

I do find it fascinating how closely the way I see people talk about not eating lines up with the way I see people talk about like, drug use I don't think the people I've noticed do this make the comparison explicitly, but I suppose that harmful addictive activities lead to convergent thought

first family thanksgiving fight into leaving in tears true combo!! W :')))

Tonight's segment of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver featuring Kiwibank's Buck the Sheep:

In C23 variables have pronouns and misgendering is undefined behavior. And no you can't just always use they, smartass. It literally won't compile

I feel like most people on here and on twitter massively misinterpreted what he's saying?

The way that too / to interact with stress has got to be one of the most fascinating things in (english) linguistics. When I was ~8 our teacher said that if we were having difficulty distinguishing we could try and put unstressed "to" in the sentence out loud and see if it sounded right. Crazy cool

Women named Barbara seem to be responsible for a lot of very cool stuff (perhaps I’m biased by Barbara McClintock being an idol of mine in high school but). Clearly there is an optimal name for anyone that wants to name a girl for STEM success (themselves or a child of theirs)

Had to write about a subset of functions from NN to NN and I wrote NN^NN->NN^NN in my assignment… so embarrassing, especially reading the marker’s comments 🙈

am I overreacting here or is calling your compiler "correct by construction" because you used a newtype and NonEmpty an incredibly dishonest framing? elm-lang.org/news/another...

me when i make invalid states unrepresentable by making my constructor 'throw' if the arguments are invalid

like im a rust/lisp girlie through and through but. god C really does just let you do psycho shit
