@dgoldman.bsky.social Just poking my head into the cesspool! The fact that official bluesky moderation has labeled you “rude” thereby soft-censoring all your (quite nice and harmless, not rude) posts is just more proof that this community is a toxic echo chamber shitshow. FU, @moderation.bsky.app 🖕

I would definitely recommend arguing with the LLM of your choice FIRST, before bringing your arguments to social media. It will knock out your weakest points without making it personal, and it will make your argument stronger and more empirical once you are ready to bring it to social media.

@xeiaso.net Are you sure the people sinking your gitea are actually from Amazon? Anyone can lie about their user-agent. I'd just throttle the IPs that are nuisances or malicious automatically by checking who is above a certain rate limit.

threadreaderapp.com/thread/17229... In a tweet from a year ago (account not needed to see the above), someone linked a giant meta-study that seemed to indicate that women are now more privileged than men in pretty much all realms, which surprised everyone. Thoughts? Have things flipped to misandry?

...I forgot to accept a change in 1 file, though. Again, I was tired... I'd suggest waiting until all its edit outputs are done and THEN accepting them, but making sure you get all of them.) I've also seen it "lose the plot" sometimes on long contexts, but that's a problem with all LLM's ...

project deps with a flake.nix file and Nix, especially with Python, which I normally hate (but which is now "tolerable"). Keeps usage of Python sane, among many other benefits.) It will still sometimes (usually when you're not paying enough attention or very tired) get into loop-like behaviors...

If you make a suggestion like "use TDD, prefix all commands with `nix develop` since the deps are flake.nix'd, and build features incrementally while documenting them in the README", it will do that (and it actually works better that way, anyway). (Also, I'd very much recommend controlling your...
