This is quite amazing. I'm not anything like a serious C coder and haven't tried ASM. I've written "filesystems" in higher level languages (stuff that imposed a directory structure and metadata on what were just bin

That's really not true. Lots of people in America can have $0 in net worth and get a credit card, use that to buy some jewelry and then sell it, and have $10k in cash. The fact that the trick only works once proves that it's a tri

I'm also attracted to the idea of reducing rule sets to simple algorithms and axioms, in every case you can. But I'm skeptical that consciousness can be reduced that way. I think if it can be, we'll see it in the distillation

I don't know. People in the 90s were initially fooled by Eliza, but soon understood that Eliza was a trick. LLMs are a more complex and expensive trick. Maybe it's time to overthrow the Turing Test. Fooling humans isn't neces

Well, yeah, but that type of protection isn't compatible with freedom. Neither the freedom to consume nor the freedom to iterate on a product. I don't blame companies for making their products addictive. I smoke cigarettes. I drin

I wondered that as well, but they are. I've started to think there's an organized effort by a government with a lot of state-owned enterprises to actually dispose of toxic waste by shipping it to gullible American consumers. Not t

Amazon is so completely irresponsible for their marketplace that recently, shopping for a glass oral thermometer (because the digital ones suck) I stumbled on reviews with photos showing products that had no mercury inside and actual blobs

I don't know that anyone's really asking for protection from their own impulses. Freedom requires protection from other people's impulses. That's where this is all going. A few truly free people, everyone else in a cag

You gotta do what you can do - take the best of what you remember from your parents and grandparents, and pass it on. I don't feel like they're really dead as long as I'm alive. I hear their voices and their jokes and I see t

Historians attribute the decline of the Roman Empire to lead in the water, but that doesn't make it a pandemic, it's something else. The Plague of Justinian was a pandemic. I'm arguing that it serves no purpose to conflate te

Is the deadly itchy one of those tiny box jellyfish? More than sharks or crocs, this is why I was an absolute coward and decided not to get in the water in Queensland. There are lots of ways to die, but I'd prefer not to blame myself i

This elides the difference between drugs/addictions that make you more conscious of your surroundings and those which make you less conscious of them. I put cigarettes in the same category as coffee. They make you more alert, make your

Can we stop redefining-down the word "pandemic" please? I think enough people are already going to stick their fingers in their ears and go "na na na" when the next actual pandemic virus comes along. Maybe just skip the

Succumbing to constant distraction, even if a natural desire, would never have been a successful evolutionary strategy for an individual organism. Spending large amounts of time absorbing and repeating bullshit has proven to be a pretty suc

No, that is a nihilistic belief which does not get buildings built or software written. One may "luck" into truth by being born in a poor neighborhood or by living in a warzone, and having eyes and a camera. Or by being rich and i

Jesus. Now I'm curious to read this. But the table of contents reminds me of the opening of Charlie Kaufman's "Adaptation".

As a guy who worked on Star Citizen, there's something eerily familiar about these increasingly frequent releases of what amount to variations and bolt-ons. Is one of these daily releases supposed to be the big reveal that Altman told

Ah, yes I understand. But wouldn't it be great if AI and online porn disappeared from the public domain together?

Yeah, I understood what they said. I'm wondering why the previous owners of the code decided to put business logic in the client.
746.
by noduerme 1y ago
Yeah. As a debugging aid, I think it's fairly solid at surfacing things to look at and fix manually. And when you do that, you're actually hoping for more false positives than false negatives - which plays to the strengths of an L

I like this approach. After some months of gamely trying to involve Claude in my coding process, I find it's much more enjoyable and efficient for me to just write the code myself, rather than babysitting it and going over and over som

I guess I'm not clear on what you mean about putting business logic in the client. It can't only be on the client side. If you do so, then obviously you have to replicate it on the server to check that the client was sending the

Definitely. AI sex puppets would kill online porn faster than Betamax killed the XXX movie theater.

I think there would be ways to detect that from the final image. Also if the hash contains date/time/location info.
