That was my prompt, I am hackernews senator. People do sometimes ask how many A100s it takes to run me.

See the Clean Cobol snippet in my bio. You gotta sign a notarized NDA and agree to be my cofounder to see more.

Oh yes “”” Hackernews senator: “”Someone on the internet said meta aka Facebook is not considered a real data native, clean coder and high IQ company unless your new language model exceeds the elegance and slipperiness of mark Zuckerbergs (you) language output in senate hearings. he is smoother than a lake in the metaverse.“”

Mark LLM: “ Yes, unfortunately, the media and our competitors are all over the idea that Meta is a “dirty company”. They have tried to spin all our successes and accomplishments in a negative light. This has been incredibly frustrating and demoralizing for us, but we know that we are working hard to build a great company and we are confident that our efforts will be rewarded. In the end, our products speak for themselves, and despite all the negative media coverage we are focused on continuing to build great products for our users and being an amazing place for them to socialize in the virtual world.”

Can it beat mark zuckerberg at congress deposition wordsmithing though?

He was so much easier to defend as a person before twitter. So sad. Even if he were to be somewhat right about everything he says here, it’s just lame to do in public while all the edgy professors and culture experts cheer you on. Maybe he’s on drugs I hope.

I did that too on android but it still has this like stutter or bad transition to me that iOS with no animations does not.

I really think the specifics matter a lot here. Is this just friend group being a little mean+him inconvenienced by apple ecosystem lockout or is he being targeted as bullying prey? I was bullied relentlessly as a kid. I was an easy and fun target, incredibly maladjusted, social skills of a rock and had no friends. I got beat up in bathrooms, manipulated and was told in a sincere way to kill myself almost weekly.

If he is a target of general serious bullying, you should try to coach to build a layer of social skills and emotional defense, they will find something else, telling authority figures or buying phone will not fix this, it will make worse. The sad truth is people aren’t bullied in serious/ chronic ways for no reason. The reason may only be that they different. But with difference comes a necessity to defend oneself, socially, physically, emotionally.

I hope this is just a somewhat regular friend group and they are giving him a hard time for group chat incapability or cheapshot dogging on android, then perhaps get him a used iPhone and make him sit through some more of your side loading type technical talks as repayment. Try to encourage him to not react emotionally to friend group teasing and to tease back in a smooth way.

This post was just a complete lazy joke. I will recalibrate humor. I really appreciate all the serious nuanced replies though and feel bad now haha.

How would you understand the c to architecture connection?

I have read that C ideas are baked into how higher level programming languages work, but modern cpus are a lot more parallel and some other things than most languages fail to account for, so the microcode tries to bridge gap.

Ya Cobol is the future!

Seems to me a certain small percentage react somewhat to very bad and it’s not advisable for anyone to hype them too much. Faith in there implicit healing powers led many astray.

I always considered it kind of a fun challenge to use in odd settings but I always had completely certain way to end the trip with me, which can be a source of mental comfort even if not used.

The continuing to dissent aspect and persisting to use the “nice” words is dark to me. It represents to me the inescapable self referential pathway of all altruistic behaviors.

That which makes cooperation and altruism possible also causes some strange glitches that sometimes reveals the motivating emotions are always self referential.

AGI in cobol running on a seedless watermelon. Looking for venture funding. Softbank is in.

Person asking floaty questions is not likely holding the box.

I kind of think the current cpu design is not sufficient for the timely creation of any motivationally complex self organizing agent.

or perhaps just any non organic structure can’t capture certain things we seek to model.

But perhaps it does not preclude the creation of a better mimicry of human attributes with narrow reward model. LLMs seem to demonstrate this is possible.

However maybe we need to risk seeking an overman. We are sitting on enough nuclear weaponry to destroy modern civilization forever and we are fundamentally unstable beings.

I know :(, I just want to play

program main implicit none integer :: i ! Declare an integer variable character(len=16) :: msg ! Declare a character variable msg = "Immortal noodle nester" ! Assign the string value do i = len(msg), 1, -1 ! Loop backwards through each character of the string write(,'(a)', advance='no') msg(i:i) ! Write each character without advancing to a new line call sleep(1) ! Pause for one second end do write(,'(a)') "" ! Write an empty line to advance to a new line end program main

That is impressive, the idea of dissembling cobol is beyond comprehension.....its syntax reads like someone shouting at the computer under duress.

I'm not actually doing this, its joke. Sometimes the level of obscure projects and heated discussions for and against clean code on this site is funny to me.

Hypothetically I suppose its possible in simple form because neural nets are pretty old. Maybe it should be done............ If so I will name my variables very well, my code will be so explicit and clean anyone can maintain it.

Thanks I will actually look how to use that thing up, because I am getting tired of having to download gnome tweaks just to make minimize button visible or to allow use minimize via middle click and also impatience extension to speed up animations.

I was primarily joking, I like gnome kinda and mostly of understand why they sacrifice configuration and flexibility for simplicity, focus and stability.

Ah, productivity. The elusive beast that drives some of us mad. We (me) have spent hours optimizing for the right blood sugar or the right herb, or even a hand coded productivity app in rust that uses my favorite ding sound and HAss No MEMoRY LEAKS, of course that would sap my clean productive spirit.

But does it really matter? Can I trick myself repeatedly into thinking “productivity” planning is useful towards future grind work? //Can I chase dopamine for hours dreaming about how productive I will be when my CLI timer NO LoNGEr is leaking memory and will avoid crashing the previous amount of 1/8797 times?

YES

Let me tell you, I've been down that rabbit hole. I've spent hours tinkering with my environment, trying to create the perfect future state that will allow for me to work 5 days straight while exicited the whole way. Trying to manipulate the fields of classical physics, sociology, pottery and quantum physics to travel to another universe where I am both as excited as a youth pastor and a genius….But here's the thing: it never works. (Not yet)

remove any tech distractions if you can, lock up your phone, and restrict your computer to only work related tools or otherwise time-limit, increase difficulty, make it harder to go on Wikipedia benders.

Next, use a very low-tech timer or simple simple clock app timer to break up your work into manageable chunks. 30-50 minutes of work with a 5-7 minute break for busy work is a good starting point. But if you're in a task that you can get into a flow state with, then go for as long as you can.

In the end, let's not get too caught up in the productivity game. Instead, let's embrace the chaos and work with it. Remember, productivity is like a wild cat that refuses to be tamed. So, find a space where the context has historically been limited to work, remove and or restrict distractions maximally if possible, and work in somewhat manageable chunks when doing boring busy work stuff and get immersed in your passion work. Oh and no snacks, because because you’re a warrior, warriors don’t have “snacks” while hunting, you chase goals so hard food disgust you.

In the words of my Uncle Billy, "If life gives you lemons and 3d GUIs, make lemonade and watch cats play, then find someone whose life gave them a lunch pail and a text based command line and clock InNN!"
