  • Liam's here, for what it's worth.

    I almost wrote down, it sounded like it was written by a lurker on techtakes. The overlap of takes was just so damn high.

  • I regret to inform you, that this garbage was run by The Register a while ago.

    It shouts out several friends of the sub, including @self@awful.systems, PivotToAI, OpenSlopware, Robert Kingett & Ludicity.

    The point of the piece is that all anti-AI folks should just get along, and if we are to stand a chance against corporate AI we need to get over our petty grievances and reach out a hand to the racists, homophobes and crypto-bros and work together in the spirit of Open Source!

  • I just got hit by a memory from what must have been 2021, when I was working for a uni-attached startup center. I was lounging in our event space, when my colleague hit me with a question from left field: Would there be a benefit to cooling servers in space, since space is cold?

    Little did he know that I was ready to unload my knowledge absorbed from the Expanse series, which I was reading on repeat to cope with my depressing job. So I infodumped on him about how being in space is like being in a thermos and about the Peltier effect being used in spacecraft radiators. He didn't say much in response, and I wasn't too stoked about my social skills in that moment.

    Now I wonder if I saved him from a really embarassing decision. He was an ex-Amazon project manager who was non-committally looking for a PhD topic or maybe a startup. He quit a few months later and went into consulting I think.

  • The website looks too slick and the solution (though fucking around with fonts is fun) is overcomplicated.

    Maybe some old media orgs or publishers will take this up, to protect their valuable IP while still having a slick web appearance.

  • Congratulations for your securing of relatively tolerable employment!

  • The Remarkable Incompetence At The Heart Of Tech

  • You're argument seems like Suresh's to me, in that making working software is just laughably easy for a competent engineer.

    This begs the question why noone is exploiting this market gap. But there's a couple explanations...

    It can be a coordination problem, in that there are just barely any competent software organisations with enough engineers. The problem can also lie in how software is bought, since customers seem completely unable to determine the competence of vendors. Perceptions on what kind of software is a safe, respectable choice may even be anti-helpful in this regard.

  • I don't think you have to be hypercritical of that part. Sure, rose-colored glasses could play into it but he calls the bad stuff bad and doesn't justify it via the good stuff.

    Also the stuff he describes seems plausibly achievable through buddhist spiritial practice:

    In many ways MAPLE delivered: life-long friendships, freedom from past addictions and limiting self-narratives, strengthened character, and, for many of us, profound spiritual openings and realizations.

    This Soryu figure seems fairly well accredited in that department. He just also happens to be a megalomaniacal control freak.

    (Also, why does he have to share a name with Asoka? I'm dying a little.)

    edit: I knew I spelt megalomaniacal wrong...

  • Of course there's a class element to this, but you give them too much credit.

    This isn't poor people being exposed to stupid AI so rich people can reap the benefits of actual AI. This is poor people being subjected to stupid AI so AI company shareholders can pretend that their stupid AI is worth anything for another quarter.

  • I once listened to a talk by a guy from german OSHA that hit a lot of the good points. Perceived productivity opposed to actual productivity from the METR studies. Mental load of alien code review. (This was a company-internal IT-expert exchange thingy.)

    A question in Q&A (submitted anonymously on slido like a sniveling coward) was deadass "Have you ever coded with a frontier model?"

  • If you could get a ukranian drone unit to spray paint "TRANS RIGHTS" with the trans colors on a Flamingo FP-5 before they send it to blow up a refinery, that would make a good post.

  • They killed Google Keep btw. Not that I needed more reason not to tango with a corpo app again. All criticism here is based on failure to realize my utopian visions of spiritually pure notetaking.

    The notes are just for me, but I was really hoping for a more conventional editor. No shade to emacs/vim enjoyers. (Heck, I use 90% NeoVim at work.)
