Due to how my keybinds work I sometimes accidentally trigger my speech to text engine. My test phrase for seeing if it's activated is "spaghetti and meatballs".

Neat paper hypothesizing that the reason we sleep is so that we don't evolve to both day/night and dilute our fitness in both. Specializing for one half of the cycle makes animals more effective. Similar to hibernation and migration in the winter.

They should make a movie that's like "The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly" but call it "The Cute, The Soft, And The Pretty"

I could go for a Wigan kebab right about now. Maybe some smack barm pea wet, even.

All software should work offline or when the server is down with whatever data you have cached locally. Serving from cache for dynamic requests should have been the default on the web instead of everything breaking down.

So I wrote a blog post on LLM performance. It was focused on SWE-Bench and discussed why performance is topping out.

As part of the post I pulled down gigs of runs from the SWE-Bench S3 bucket and went through several of the harder test cases. I focused on improvements in the last six months. Primarily on Opus.

Regrettably I’m probably not moving forward on that post. Why? Because after going through the data I found that the LLMs are cheating on the tests. And that’s a whole different thing.

Imagining if we set aside .1% of all the money being spent to make AIs that write bad software to compensate all the open-source developers who write good software

My matrix server is down and so are its bridges. Now I have to access my chats app by app like some sort of peasant. 😿

I’m curious about the ground reality here.
How much person-to-person recruiting to Mastodon is actually happening?
No judgment in this — I’m just trying to understand the landscape a bit better. Boosts help widen the sample. Ran out of room for more options... Perhaps one option should be for anyone who encourages folks to leave this space, not just to join it (in pursuit of the small is beautiful concept, perhaps). #BuildTheFediverse

Question: How many people have you brought into Mastodon?

I see google’s new agentic AI coding platform is going well.

Woof. That baromatric pressure drop has some kick to it.

Same thing with LLMs. This is just the information equivalent of leaded gasoline. You can get ahead locally by generating some plausible bullshit that convinces someone to send funds your way, and then when the truth slaps down the ideas, someone else faces the consequences.

The solution is to end bosses and hierarchy and make decision making and benefits and consequences matter

I honestly thing I could handle glimpses at cosmic horrors without going more mad.

Re purple'd my hair. Also tried to do a green streak, but probs gotta redo it

I haven't been doing random tinkering as much since moving in with my partners and on one hand I'm less "productive" but on the other hand I'm not sitting alone in the dark in front of the computer all day/night.
