    (and to step on my pedestal for a moment: turns out “flat file” semantics for reasoning about and managing computer instructions is kinda fucking terrible, who knew?! (gods I wish we could have had some of the alternatives… worse is better is why they won out, but we could do so much better with modern compute capacity..))

    I wonder what will happen if people still continue (and I’m sure a few can afford to..)

    but holy shit talk about absolute desperation…

  • ^ this

    all the other stuff around it is bloody unhinged, including how kent reacted when someone promoted his bot to reply in a manner that didn’t fit his deluded conception of it

    from a distance, it looks like the kind of unhinged that doesn’t take much to progress into being dangerous

  • slowly burning through the latest BTB eps (on epstein), getting to the point in ep3 about the discussions/events around ~2016 and just ...... god

    the remarks and then-recent actions, wrt affecting the internet and the social technological comms structure of humanity as a whole, and then rapidity of a bunch of shit starting to turn to shit 2014~2016 (as I've remarked on in previous posts)...

    I'd want to see more threads checked into and researched in depth (and I know that some stuff (partly?) also had their own drivers), but fucking hell there's a lot of apparent overlap. dunno if I can take on that investigation (my stats derivation/calculation skills border on a warcrime), but other than that would be interesting to see some analyses

  • ye, and they only notice when e.g. food production (that impacts them) is interrupted. outside of that you get a brief fascination with disaster porn, but never enough to do anything concrete

  • there’s a couple chairs I’ve seen where they’re designed for a different style of sitting, stuff coming from medical and similar worlds. I’m not familiar enough with them to have picked a specific example, but I’ve seen a couple of baytypes pick these up because someone else had one

    Other than that, I find this whole thing mostly very saddening. Not because some company used my diagram. As I said, it's been everywhere for 15 years and I've always been fine with that. What's dispiriting is the (lack of) process and care: take someone's carefully crafted work, run it through a machine to wash off the fingerprints, and ship it as your own.

  • So take your codebase, compress it as a zip at normal compression level, and then think how large the output problem space is, shrink it down quadratically, and you have a good estimate of how much ctx you need for LLMs to solve the hardest problems in your codebase at any given point during token generation

    wat

    I can see what they're going for but that seems .... wildly guess-y?

  • Something like “innovations in parasitic enclosure” may perhaps be a phrase that can give a handle on it, yeah
