(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..))
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
I regret to inform you that the promptfans have a new fucked up way to thotpost:
screenshot from twitter. the search bar has the following search terms in it: "BC" "before claude"
a tweet body by @Jason_Dean reads: "I was born in 23 BC (Before"
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

I can see what they're going for but that seems .... wildly guess-y?
ime much like the SAFe diagrams, this diagram is all over a certain type of “this is how your corporation should be developing software” thotleader posts
(although I imagine the lag 2~3y all those heads have pivoted to promptpraise)
well would you look at that, some consequences
