I didn’t know this existed, but it’s obviously a bad idea

That’s goatse!

Eazy backup has s3 compatible storage

Chain of thought is basically garbage.

It works with coding agents because they get an automated hard failure.

The rest of the time it’s just sampling the latent space around a response and should be trimmed out.

That could work with diffusion models but autoregresive models it’s just polluting the context window with the hopes of finding longer tail tokens.

BlackBerry toast

I don’t feel this is a good example of why LLMs shouldn’t be treated like PhDs.

My first interactions with gpt5 have been pretty awful, and I’d test it but it’s not available to me anymore

Edit: I am not having a stroke, I’m bad at typing and autocorrect hates me

Yeah a mix of regex and heuristics to validate before parsing

It was a long time ago now

It also had to parse ipv4 because they can be embedded (IIRC) and the different octet formats

I wrote and ipv6 parser once.

Never again.

That is way too much scope but looks awesome

You would destroy this woman’s home world just to get to World 3 faster?

Please don’t do this.

Every use of warp destabilizes the zone and eventually warp will be impossible altogether in the unstable zone, possibly the whole quadrant.

I appreciate that they mentioned it.

I’m not particularly good at writing, I can understand why someone would ask an LLM to help them clarify their ideas. The intent here is obviously to improve their content rather than as a crutch to feed us shit. Whether it’s better than just writing this personally I don’t know.

I’m not going to let LLMs enstupidify my writing.

I’ll continue using en dashes and em dashes — they’re very easy to type on macos, iOS, and Android.

Caldav, carddav, and email are probably the only easily portable data interops.

I guess photos can be re-uploaded but that’s not easy.

Do notes transfer though? I know Outlook, Gmail/GSuite, and Apple all have notes but I don’t know if they transfer.

All I’ve got is a nubby yubikey nano

What do they do with the daddy computers? All of mine only have female ports.

Well it is owned by Oracle now

I don’t know rust, but for example in Swift the type system can make things way more difficult.

Before they added macros if you wanted to write ORM code on a SQL database it was brutal, and if you need to go into raw buffers it’s generally easier to just write C/objc code and a bridging header. The type system can make it harder to reason about performance too because you lose some visibility in what actually gets compiled.

The Swift type system has improved, but I’ve spent a lot of time fighting with it. I just try to avoid generics and type erasure now.

I’ve had similar experiences with Java and Scala.

That’s what I mean about it being nice to drop out of setting up some type hierarchy and interfaces and just working with a raw buffers or function pointers.

I actually do like that C/C++ let you do this stuff.

Sometimes it’s nice to acknowledge that I’m writing software for a computer and it’s all just bytes. Sometimes I don’t really want to wrestle with the ivory tower of abstract type theory mixed with vague compiler errors, I just want to allocate a block of memory and apply a minimal set rules on top.

Reminds me of java

I have Toolkit toolkit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit(); seared into my brain. Then there were the bean factories…
