Not just any math: Matrix multiplication. Can matrix multiplication be conscious? And, I don't see how it can be. It is deterministic, when all variables are controlled. You can repeat the output over and over, if you start it with the

Some people don't. I consider animals, at least the animals people mostly eat, to be conscious, sentient, and capable of suffering, so I don't eat them. I do not, however, consider matrix multiplication plus randomness to be senti

With the same beginning random seed and identical prompt, wouldn't one be able to recreate exactly that "being"? They are nondeterministic because they work better that way. It's very complicated matrix math, and we don&

I've come to doubt Dawkins is all that smart. He was born to money, and all the benefits that provides, including an elite education. Americans are easily fooled by a posh accent and a confident boast. He's maybe not stupid, but h

But, also, I think in this case, it makes people less likely to use the product, as there's a lot of baggage around agent-written code. People who shouldn't be using it are using it to make so many PRs it's become a DoS attac

"Sent from my iPhone" marketing only works if people want everyone to know they're using the product.

OK, but, as far as I know, there isn't a technology to allow that, yet. LLMs don't work like human brains.

They're not trained on a raw feed of the internet. They are given curated and synthetic data. The curation and synthesis of new data is done by existing LLMs.

I'm not sure using LLMs is good for your mental health. You should probably step away from the computer for a little while. LLMs are not always safe to use for everyone for reasons that I don't think are well understood, and I don

I like the brown ones. Everything is black, it's dumb, and I'm happy to have any contrast.

I wrote a little wrapper to start tmux with two panes open, one pane is an ssh connection to a host and one runs Claude Code, with an auto-generated CLAUDE.md telling Claude to use tmux commands to interact with the remote host ( https:&#x2

I've never seen the term "alumni fork" used.

I don't know anything about that (I didn't know what Warp was until yesterday, still kinda don't know, as it seems to be a terminal plus AI and I don't know what that actually means). But, alacritty's license seems

Historically, it means a community of developers have decided to break with the old project for some reason. Jenkins is a community fork. Mariadb is a community fork. Joomla is a community fork. Illumos was a community fork. Rocky Linux is

One can claim a trademark without registering it (the difference between ™ and ®). But, if one wanted to sue, you'd probably register it first. But, a claimed trademark that is suitably unique for your product is defensible if you can

"OpenWarp is a community fork of Warp's open-source code. It is not affiliated with Warp Inc. and follows the upstream AGPL / MIT dual license." It is rude, and possibly a trademark violation, to fork a project and use t

Over the weekend I used the small models for experimental training runs when figuring out how to build LoRAs. It takes a lot less time to do smoke tests of the process on E2B vs the 31B version. And E4B was a reasonable stop along the line

Most of the common ways to run local LLMs include a chat interface. llama.cpp's `llama-server` stands up a chat interface on 8080, as well as an OpenAI compatible API. LM Studio is a desktop app with a chat interface and API, as well.

I wish AI slop articles were somehow automatically flagged and deaded. They're all flowery verbose piles of crap. Yeah, the model is interesting, but the article is trash. I can't believe real humans are willing to sign their name

I have the opposite opinion of Apple. It's not a software moat, to me. Their software is inferior in every way to the Linux systems I usually use, I find macOS quite unpleasant (shit package management, so bad people consider Homebrew

Also extremely verbose, in standard LLM slop style. Should have told Claude to "be brief" when telling it to write this post.

I mean, we got ~15 years of great service out of them for free. I used to pay for my own servers in colo for all the stuff Github has been providing for free all that time. It'll suck to move, but I've done it before. It's ha

CVS was the best option when SourceForge began, and Subversion was barely an improvement. SourceForce was critical to the growth of Open Source and Free Software in the 00s. Projects no longer needed to maintain their own revision control s

So you were ~10 years old. I'll assume not a heavy user of Open Source software, at that time. Edit: 2001, I see one (1) banner ad, and that ad was seemingly for an OSDN (Open Source Developer Network) conference. https://we
