@ai6yr "The major cost of most corporations is labor."

*HARD* disagree.

The cost that they perceive as "disposable" is labor. The highest actual cost, by far, is the people at the top, most of whom do practically nothing (or even make willfully bad decisions like integrating fake "AI" into systems that shouldn't be using a LLM and will ultimately present a huge loss later) while being paid many many millions...

And those are the positions most disposable and that a LLM could fake best...

Holy shit I think I got everything working after this last PR gets merged in a dependency? I've been working on this on and off since mid last year 😵

This workaround I'm doing feels kinda violant but the alternative will need a huge rafactor for how we calculate sync state and might not be backwards comparible 🥲

@ellyxir There's a lot of "LLM-isms" which they repeat more than humans and you can get a feel for them after reading enough slop. :P

Random thread with some examples: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4

My spelling and grammar might be shit but at least I'm not spewing paragraphs of nothingness from the ocean boiling slop dispenser.

It's hard to be positive about slop-native corpos sometimes. Just send me your prompts and context instead of the "It's — not X, — — it's Y —" slop please.

I've had the same ringtone since about 2009. 😎

@suricrasia autism is often comorbid with hypermobility and gives folks an edge on both layers of the metaphor

I miss being able to use unsigned ints without resorting to dark incantations.

I'm like *thiiiiis* close to figuring out why these tests are failing. 🥲 Something to do with range and bitfield events not being registered

The music player is now fully loaded up with 150gb of music.

@soapdog I think cover traffic and full encryption is how folks usually go about it. GNUnet is a good example. docs.gnunet.org/latest/about.h

Computer programming is about reading through 20k lines of diff to figure out WTF broke in your dependencies and how to work around it. ☝️🤓👍

@SecureOwl Yeahhhhhh. TBH undocumented user-focused APIs have been my go to. I just inspect what a web app is tying to do and strip it down. Works most of the time until they change something. :P

I opened a technical blog post and left the tab to read later, only to discover it was choking the browser to death with a sudoku-solving neural network embedded as a proof of concept ballooning to 5GB

One of my cats has taken to hanging out in my office more while I work and it's only a little bit distracting.

@SecureOwl Snap! That's a lot cleaner/more simple than I expected. I assume you extracted the auth tokens from user sessions?

Do you have a site that is abandoned or difficult to maintain? 🏚

@sutty can help you recover it and turn it into a preserved site, without exposed databases and panels, greatly reducing the risk of attacks and maintenance work. ❇️

Most importantly, thanks to the integrated @distributedpress support, the renovated website can be automatically published on the Decentralized Web!
