@SJohnRoss I'm not even sure what it would mean for something earnest to wink, honestly.
@empathy2000 worse: it's git.

the map is not the territory. for one, it takes a lot fewer soldiers to occupy the map
@jp You're showing in the fediverse.
So, one advantage of Medium is that you can log into it with your Twitter account.
@flats yeah. The project I'm on is using the WordPress coding standards and they demand
If ( 0 === $count )
and lint for that too. So annoying.
Say what you will about John Wilkes Booth, at least he had a clear political stance.
(Compare with later assassins and attempted assassins of presidents.)
It stops.
Because the intelligence is all inside the matrices and is just as opaque to the AI as our own brains are to us.
LLMs are basically big matrices, right?
What if we get a medium-smart AI, give it access to its own code, and ask it to improve itself, and it catches a case where large matrices can be multiplied faster with a clever algorithm, making it faster, and then...
What if AI recursive self-improvement only gets to turn the screw one time?
Non-anime watchers: why not start now?
This is a heartwarming movie about/for kids. There are dubbed showings.
Anime watchers: _My Neighbor Totoro_ is playing in theaters this weekend and next week.
You should never lint for Yoda conditions.
If you have a linter, you should lint for assignment inside conditionals.
Yoda conditions are a convention that prevents you from accidentally assigning when you meant to compare. A linter is just a better tool for this.
How much would someone have to pay you to take a pill that changes your favorite ice cream flavor to pistachio?
Is there any recent media that just plays what it's doing straight, without subverting tropes and winking to the audience about how special it is?
@niplav I'd guess: the more of what they're doing is conversational, the more it gets absorbed into status games. The more it is physical, the less.
(In this model, publishing academic papers is conversational.)
If you are building houses or doing work in a lab there's less space to posture. If you're just talking, there's more.
@cosmiccitizen Hatred is bad for you.
But then, I can join you in the Bodhisattva except for my one enemy club.
