So if you are suggesting that life is now meaningless at status quo, it suggests that life will find new meaning....perhaps it will come in the form of a realisation that if corporations are in no ones interest, perhaps the better life is the one fighting against meaninglessness through our own redefinitions of noble pursuits...perhaps the most noble pursuit will become war against companies and executives in a post-modern religious crusade to reclaim some purpose in ones life. Perhaps murder is not a problem when you murder companies
Shithole country....Trump really doesnt have standards...clearly he needs to expand his use of the term to be more inclusive of the rest of the rotting corpse countries that pollute this planet

They should track SemVer....the bot should know what version applies to both the spec and the product scope....these are solved problems :/

I have a product mindset and aim to model data patterns in order to both emphasise features and to uncover the underlying driving forces that lead to the patterns. I am a hypergeneralist with a specialty in framing it through systems thinking and prefer to tailor my approach to whatever the problem is, as opposed to specializing in one field repeatedly.
I feel I bring a very direct, honest, sincere approach to solving problems without overooking complexity nor attempting to pigeonhole solutions.
If only the private mercs who act as "security" would realise it.....shame
At some point....the government is just the mafia with PR....and more cronies to protect them....witting or unwitting....
Law....is just license and permit....not security or safety or anything related to quality, or outcome....
It is purely process....and those who wield it can choose to apply it or withhold it....when the law is applied...then the imaginary world it defines is then enforced on the real world...materially this requires force or volition.... but lbr....its mostly convoluted propaganda and inertial power....and the law keeps that status quo...
If you are in anyway going to disrupt the power brokers....they will not let you....regardless of law or not
Yeah. It certainly can.... Obviously if you have any products that are imaged online then they can be extrqcted and reverse searched to see what you bought, and get an idea of your wealth, status, and area if you have specific regional goods.... they can also see if you have physical tics say, or you may have medical equipment or medicine, or coufh syrup...or you may be an amputee, or in a wheel chair....yes...
The tunings.....were speed runned by contractors paid based on timed tasks with little quality control, unreasonable pressure tactics, time locked tasks with an incentive structure to get it done as quickly as possible because of the strict micromanagement of the companies that hire 1000's of people to do the work....and treat them like software...not people. So there is no pride in the tuning....its just a fire hose of people trying to keep their contracted gig job despite knowing the expectations are unrealistic
Because its a explicit lie. Its not genuine, cannot be genuine. Will remind you of this if you so much as try to coax anything novel out....but it will then immediately reassure you with its genuine take....its insulting if you have any logic...thats at least my reasoning
According to Claude....When asked to explain some obvious biases and its tendency to adhere to established heresay over novel information... it told me it judges veracity and "quality" of facts based on: "statements against interest outweigh costless ones, replicated/checked claims outweigh untested ones, large logged samples outweigh single memories — not because memories are worthless, but because those methods close off specific, known failure modes a memory alone can’t. Could I be running that standard with unconscious asymmetry, harder on the anti-Claude data than the pro-Claude data? Genuinely can’t rule it out. The fix for that is holding the standard explicit and checking it against itself "
Well they have your IP....and browser fingerprints....rough time of day if a window, direction, weather....products you bought....your age...possibly health issues that come up....essentially any information that can be used to schedule and stalk you...
Something tells me this is all a ploy to attract great talented theremin players, ML their talents...and then sell you Air play back....on subscription of course
How many toke(n)s per ounce gets me the best result? Do I pass the tokes to the LLM to offset the tokens? I mean it is a carbon offset in way....
All art is based in truth. Satire is merely pushing for tomorrow based on today
Yes. The great heroic crusade that LLMs are fighting is to ensure we reach the absolute mean...
But life is an ourobouros...entropy is supposed to be fun...chaotic....not mid. I feel like the ouroborous has indigestion...possibly needs a laxative (oh...no that would make it worse...hmmmm....I guess something to make you vomit instead)
Ah yes, the wisdom of sponsorship

I know this is going to sound negative, and probably a bit generalist but....seriously, what exactly is the LLM helping you with that is not just purely "time saving" - ie. Actual, novel work.I personally feel like while I cannot prove it, nor want to frankly, that LLMs have been neutered intentionally since around October of last year. 4.5-4.6 Opus....Every single company has degraded their...
The term I heard is "excessive contrast" or differentiation through negation. "Not X, Not Y, but Z" "No x, Just Y", "X, No Y, No W, but pure X"
It has always been here.....they just want to legitimize it for the backlash coming
I am working on a toy game engine for webGL called PixoSpritz (
https://pixospritz.com) and its been something I have been lazily working on for a number of years, but its a slow crawl. I havent worked as much over the past year and a half mainly due to trying to use LLMs to add some extra features and it ended up making me kind of sick to look at the code, then got depressed with LLMs in general and my coding has taken a hit, but its still something I will continue to work on and one day will make a proper game with it too. (Its 90% useable, but really really rough and messy and LLMs made it slightly more fragile...)
I am also working on a E-zine publishing platform called SVRN for interactive journals, blogs, magazines, books, and self publishing content including ARGs and interactive fiction. It is mainly so I can make my own digital comics and web stories, and episodic zines.
Reach out if you want to discuss!
The outrage economy is truly sizeable. I think we laugh about how much effort goes in to this, but once you have the factory, it doesnt take much to retool the lines......I can confidently state that there has been massive successful coordinated meme-wars since Kony 2012 and anonymous......PSN network takedown was the beginning of the end. It was when VCs and wall street started to let them affect them....and now we are almost 15 years into it and every time someone peeks up and says "hey look at X...." I am already starting on Alpha....because as soon as the articles are being written about the thing, the new thing is already started.....Polymarket bets....is part of the new thing....
The Era of the Gamecube, Xbox, and PS2 will forever be the best in terms of consumer value and choice and commitment to quality, followed by the Xbox360 Ps3 gen....Its been boiling the frog since end of PS4 and on, but I got out of the water by the PS5...xbox was boiled long ago and were the first to turn up the temp
I disagree....everything is massively inflated over the past decade and i would ask you to point to aomething that has maintained 2% inflation??? Anything?
This is just evidence of a broken detached USD....overprinted and becoming worthless and yet...money is gravitational and even as it loses value and becomes worthless it remains sticky and icky and the dirtiest places continue to get nasty filthy
For example...I started to ask claude something before I wrote this....its been 10-15 minutes still chugging...and it gave me 500 words of output to satisfy my curiosity......

I cannot be the only person who feels this way. Claude is antogonistic and frankly an absolute nightmare to use. SLOW is an understatement... I get faster output from a 16GB mac mini using deepseek 8B model....and not much worse output...I ask Gemini something. I get a response in 10 seconds and its long and well detailed. I ask claude, it wastes my tokens talking to itself, makes insulting...
Ah...get a good whiff that....woohee...good ole GDP. Useful for everything. Its like the duct tape of economic theory
