  • The simultaneous problem and benefit of the stubstack thread is that a good chunk of the best posts of this community are contained within them.

  • I read the source. It was pretty funny, but I'm not installing a massive statistical word regurgitator program just to run this. I don't want to be too mean about an anticapitalist piece of art but I don't think posting an LLM-based game here is going to net you a hugely positive reception.

  • I watched most of the first season of Silicon Valley with a friend who recommended it to me. I liked it. Every single character with a speaking role so far (with the possible exception of an exotic dancer and a graffiti artist) deserves death by nuclear weaponry. SFBA delenda est.

  • If AI is so good at coding … where are the open source contributions?

  • What stereotype? The stereotype that awful.systems posters are hostile to people who praise LLMs? Good.

  • Thank you for shedding light on the matter. I never realized that 69b model is a pisstillation of Lligma peepee point poopoo, that is to say it complicates the outpoop of Lligma4.20 while using the creepbleakR1 house design for better processing deficiency. Now I finally realize that any criticism of Kraftwerk's 1978 hit Das Model is just criticism of Sugma80085 and not deepthroatR1.

  • How is the richest man in the world, the future head of a government department with the ear of the president-elect of the United States, such a cringe loser that the most redeeming thing his ex can say about him to protect her pride is that he's kinda good at a couple of videogames?

    She's damning him by faint praise so hard she's basically catching strays from her own attempt at defending herself.

  • As an advocate of free software, it would be better if the so-called AI systems were free and open source software. I don't think this is feasible. The models are trained on data that is, in part, incredibly proprietary. To "open source" these algorithms would mean to "open source" all media on the internet. Imagine convincing Disney to release all their movies under an open source license. Now imagine making everyone else do that too. That is what it would take to "open source" AI as it exists.

  • The whole Cloudflare bot detection is so weird and eerie. I've had issues where I can't get past it presumably just because I'm using some in-application browser just to get a login cookie, but other times it just lets fucking curl through no questions asked.

  • Ladybird: A new cross-platform browser project

    Jump

  • SerenityOS and Ladybird are extremely impressive. Andreas comes across as very likeable and the community he's built seems cool.

    There's a pervasive idea in the programmer community that it's impossible to make a modern web browser unless you're a top 10 tech corporation. I love that they're challenging that and showing that all it takes is a handful of volunteers with good programming chops and a bunch of elbow grease.

    A worrying number of people in engineering don't seem to think software is worthwhile unless you can expect to compete for majority market share with the incumbents. If "hacker" is to be taken as a title of honour, I think it belongs to the ones who make things without expecting to take over the world.

    And the project has seemingly helped Andreas stay sober, which is pretty heartwarming.

    EDIT: 2 years later, we regret to inform you the milkshake duck is…
