Auditory processing disorder a superpower when you're travelling with a group where nobody speaks the local language. Suddenly that not actually fucking understanding anything and figuring it out from context cues really comes in handy.

Sometimes I doubt y’all’s commitment to Sparkle Motion.

every once in a while someone asks us "why can't you just review the slop code as if it were human written" and let me tell you that we have tried it, and you cannot, actually, do this, for the simple reasons that humans do not write code like that

human-written code follows a progression and exhibits a model of the problem domain. the model may be wrong, the progression may be wrong, but line 1 and line 10 are related to each other.

LLM code has none of that. it looks like code, but does not have the structure of it. there is no progression of thought, there is no model of the problem domain, and lines 1 and lines 10 bear no relationship to each other outside of statistical likelihood.

the question thus asks, "why can't you just eat the dogshit as if it were a burger cooked by a human"

ok I underestimated ABS fumes, my lab reeks now

I just had an opportunity to use the phrase "I admire your ability to reach that level of confidence without the inconvenience of competence" at work

Reform politicians are just the worst. I've just seen an Instagram video about four newly elected Reform councillors. Heres the main point of each one.

1: X'd that Nigerians should be melted down to fill in potholes. (Now suspended)

2: Claims the Holocaust is a hoax.

3: X'd "Shoot p*kis on site"

4: Beat girlfriend black and blue, neglected his child and put out cigarettes on them.

Maybe look up vetting in a dictionary?

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive.

Watching as morons promise you the world with LLMs, while dissolving everything we built a long the way. These are my days now, and its all so monstrously tiring.

am I joking when I tell you to burn down a datacenter, or not? I'm legally obligated to say, who knows. But I know I wouldn't shed a fucking tear if a hyperscaler datacenter went up in flames tomorrow.
