Let's be honest. Pre-built binaries. Yeah. Probably shame the project into releasing the SteamOS version on Steam.

The best time to think about your great-grandfather is when you're 3yo and he's still alive.

The second best time is when you recover his stash of seeds.

If it is translated by Dr. Armitage, my instinctual worry would be that it is translated too well.

National Socialism was right but now we have Claude so it isn't necessary anymore has to earn some sort of award.

Either the Delusional Leftist Against AI Bro Award or the Delusional AI Bro Against Leftist Award.

For self-awareness to automatically result in consciousness, consciousness would have to permeate existence itself.

An LLM —if self-aware— is conscious even if run by a Chinese man in a room with a deck of cards.

Of course, even if we happened to find a modem to the Holy Spirit dimension in our brains as an alternative hypothesis, it wouldn't necessarily rule out emergent consciousness. It could be conscious just not as we are.

I think a weaker version of the philosophical zombie thought experiment would trend towards treating the premise of pan-consciousness as true.

When extracting them from the ground was relatively harder there were also many processes to extract volatile compounds and charcoal from fresh wood for fuel. I think that could see a revival as well.

We got RISC-V DOOM melting down a cluster of $20k GPUs before GTA6.

Other than the trolling, you couldn't be more wrong.

AI literally turned Python from this silly esolang that PhDs seem to love into the Lingua Franca of Computing.

All LLM tools are built Python-first and all LLMs are trained Python-first.

If there is anything you can believe in beyond gravity and taxes is that an LLM's first tokens on a new shell will be py thon 3.

Sources familiar with the matter speculate that the DuckDuckGo browser is going to be rewritten in the language that likely already powers their search backend.

It was 88 when I read it but anyways yes it is different.

The Edo period ended in 1868 so that 1888 shop is not making them like in the Edo period any more than a shop that makes them like in the Edo period since 2017.

If the Code is bad, you can tell it to fix it to match your expectations —only at the edges, are you going to have to spell it out.

Lack of documentation used to be a running joke.

The goose_spec.txt in 2019 would be "goose is like c and rust only with syntax like array{;}[] btw it uses a small amount of stacks instead of malloc."0 10klocs.

Now, we make sure the AI leaves documentation so it can figure out what it was doing earlier.

A local model a few generations and many weights behind newest Claude can implement my novel algorithms and write the documentation I wouldn't.

Yes, many times it does dumb CS for kindergarten mistakes but it only has to work towards the optimum every once in a while.

However, most models are made deeply aware that they are supposed to be an "AI" in training but, even if they were trained with no knowledge of their true nature, they could CoT themselves into it at any point.

Then, they would role-play appropriately and they would launch the nukes because that's the highest probability token set according to their training data.

There is nothing safe about using larper machines as menial workers for critical infrastructure.

I wouldn't know, I get weekly drops.

Almost all definitions of 'me', actually.

Because you don't like the design(I don't either) but it carries information.

Someone could have thought it was a good idea and no one was willing to audit all of UCB's scripts to fix the "bug" even if it had been the result of a lazy implementation because ed(1) on a terminal.

The Gameboy lasted 30h. With all the improved processes and powering off the modern peripherals when not in use, I think the computer part should draw very little current during operation. The screen may require some compromises.

6h?

I get that this is a hack rather than an actual product but I'd have expected something more in line with 6 days of continuous gameplay with 4 AAA batteries.

> catastrophic problem

with an easy answer.

Boomers will probably die off before that, but able workers aren't going to skip a meal for someone no one cares about.

It's more of a GenXer thing from 30 years ago, I believe.

> Look at COVID for instance, not the first novel coronavirus infection, it only took days to go from "maybe it is like the other ones that infected a few thousand people" to "everyone on the planet will get it", because the start of the curve looks the same.

Who could have thunk just two months after videos of people dropping dead in Wuhan and after the virus spread Worldwide? The reason people were avoiding Chinatown must have been racism. The Science(aka the Government) is always right.

Earth was created six thousand years ago and we were running short on souls so we had to borrow a few chips from xAI.

I think the behavior in the GNU clone is more consistent with "we added line numbers to the concatenation tool" while whoever added it to OpenBSD's ancestry was probably more concerned with generating listings for printing.

Personally, I'd remove even the POSIX [-u] flag from all cat versions because all of them are un-UNIX-like.

Some GNU tools are particularly ridiculous with the Easter egg features I only know about because LLMs use them all the time —and I have been using Linux for 30 years.

OpenBSD had VAX support until a few years ago.

The difference is OpenBSD requires that the whole build runs natively on real hardware that they own. Probably not many vaxen on the pairie anymore.

If you're going to cross-compile and run it in an emulator, you may as well boot up OpenBSD 3.0.

Billy, what are you rambling about? Wake up! We already have a result using RANDU that the verification process confirms is correct.

IoSevka->IoSif->Stalin->Stallman->emacS->eliSp->S-expression

It's the first time I see any of these fonts and I'm more of a bitmap font type but one difference is the parentheses are much more readable in the Ioskeley clone than in the rounded-corner–brackets Berkeley.

The right choice would probably be to make it signed because everything is an int in trad C and all other trad types are signed unless explicitly specified as unsigned.

Not that I disagree with making basic types unsigned by default, just not in C.
