whateveracct··on Coding is not solved
i have unlimited tokens and i throw Fable / Astra at everything. They suck ass still for anything nontrivial. I could commit that garbage but if I kept doing it, I will end up with a ball of mud only Fable / Astra can grok..convenient for Dario and SamA..

It costs money, but I've been enjoying my Pangram subscription for this. Saves me slop on the internet and confirms whether or not my colleagues' words are what i'm reading or not.

wait so not using GenAI makes you persona non grata in "tech" now?

nobody tell my boss

whateveracct··on Fed hikes rates as inflation worries push up bond yields
why are you responding to a person like it is an LLM?

whateveracct··on Ex-FTC boss Khan: break out the handcuffs for AI CEOs, citing 1934 precedent
constantly using tech to launder responsibility. it's disgusting, really.
whateveracct··on Global bond yields hit 2008 highs, raising stakes for big borrowers
Not just reserves, but also all the oil already on ships slowly making its way to its destination. I think I even saw someone predict that around September, the oil issue would get worse due to how slowly those ships move.
whateveracct··on OpenAI bots knew about the RubyGems caching vulnerability
how convenient
whateveracct··on From Git to Fossil (2025)
the rust community is trash tho. such bad personalities all around. "mirrors" the issues with the nix community tbh..
whateveracct··on Everyone should slow down AI development except for me
astra is more parlor tricks than real gains tbh

i swear they trained in on threejs in particular so those idiots on twitter could spam their garbage demos

whateveracct··on We must pace the frontier
and that hunger for compute has made it so true personal computing freedom is inaccessible. A convenient future where all compute is for rent only..

Yes, LLMs with unbounded capabilities can just be tantamount to viruses.

Waymo is first to market by retrofitting a bunch of Jaguars nobody else would buy. They can keep that arbitrage up for a while.
whateveracct··on Function Arguments Are Not Function Colors
it is all assembly under the hood but it's also all lambda calculus under the hood
whateveracct··on Anthropic researcher says more than 10% chance AI "could kill all humans"
it's not marketing. it's an internal culture (emphasis on cult) that's high in its own supply.
whateveracct··on Function Arguments Are Not Function Colors
Actually, the IO monad in haskell desugars to

RealWorld -> (a, RealWorld)

Where RealWorld is a "token" that is just meant to be threaded through. You cannot create one yourself, so you have to be given one.

Thus, that function argument colors IO. Every PL feature is just an extension to System F.

whateveracct··on I resigned from Anthropic today
the AI-pilled exec at my job already (a few weeks ago) declared out of nowhere that we are in the rapid takeoff scenario lol. he must have gotten high on twitter kool-aid and posted on company slack to self-soothe.
