That's a good sysadmin. They are few and far between.

FINGER IS VERY IMPORTANT!

Yeah. He really enjoyed his newfound authority.

AH. And I see that sci-tools has access to English derived symbols from the classes and methods. That answers my question - whether your system is generating novel symbols.

This is wonderfully delightful. I wish I'd thought of it. I am exploring decompilation - MAME ROM to idiomatic JavaScript. It's going pretty well - the LLM does a good job translating from one language (machine) to another (Java

Meh. Sysadmins are dicks. The system is secure or it's not. Poking at the locks is not a serious threat. I know a similar story of a sysadmin who did the same, but went into the lab and sat down next to the student. And then put hi

In 1989 I wrote a little hack to turn my .plan into a named pipe. That way - anytime someone fingered me - I could do a netstat to detect where they were coming from. My friend heard about this and fingered me 10,000 times in 5 minutes, an

Yes, I do understand that many people hate the way AI speaks. But I'd like to remind you of other times in history when one group hated the way another group speaks. Was it rational? Or was it tribalism? I'm not saying it's

Yes. See my other comment about how Oregon was able to solve the power problem. The residents of Oregon will be paying LOWER prices than before the data centers. The data center problem seems to be merely a government corruption problem.

Oregon just passed a law saying data centers will pay more for electricity than normal people, and the math says that everyone's rates will be going down. So, again, I think it depends on whether you live in a red or blue state. https

Could also be a way to demonstrate the power of the system - showing how it can implement the games you already know and love.

Are you familiar with the idea of probabilistic algorithms? Determinism can be a liability.

So fucking cool.

Yes, I understand what you are saying. And I’m saying I disagree. > bub And now I’m sorry for your anger.

by qarl2 2mo ago
Yes, I agree - no comment in these threads is for the recipient. It’s for the audience. And I appreciate you engaging with me earnestly and thoughtfully. But I disagree with your “toxic”. I think HN has a fear of conflict: the “civility”

Yeah. I have a Stratasys J55 3D printer. Industrial and closed. And now I can print to it via my Mac. It's a fun time to be alive.

by qarl2 2mo ago
Well - as one example - today I found someone doing a "Show HN" about an AI system that will make an entire game for you via a chat interface. The topmost comments were ugly attacks.

HEH. Struck a nerve?

I do think that the anti-AI mentality around here is bizarre. I do not think that forwarding a listing from Google is bizarre. These seem like reasonable positions to me. I am very sorry if my voicing these beliefs makes you uncomfortable.

by qarl2 2mo ago
This is, of course, incredibly cool. I think many people are mad because they've been arguing for a long time that this is impossible. And it's embarrassing for them.

"I did not flag you, but..." "I am not racist, but..."

My dearest dude - You called my wife bizarre. Then you said "TECHNICALLY, I didn't call your WIFE bizarre I called her ACTIONS bizarre." I would ask you to stop talking to me, but it seems unlikely to work. So. You have a n

Sadly - most people on the site can't read them. Only the power users, such as yourself. But I am glad you've decided to engage. Now will you answer my question?

HE WOULD NEVER FLAG SOMEONE JUST FOR DISAGREEING! He would make up an excuse that is entirely untrue and then flag them. Oh wait, I'm thinking of my last encounter with him.

She just wanted to show me what she wanted; I don't think she wanted to encourage me to choose a different color. SO BIZZARE!

>I've never seen anyone post a copy-and-paste of some pages I have. For example, I was looking for a bathmat. My wife pasted me a list. Just a week ago. I don't think my wife is bizarre. It's unfortunate that you do.

by qarl2 2mo ago
Of course not. I didn't say anything like that. But I do see a consistent trend here regarding hostility to AI. It seems to be a pattern, and a strange one. I've never had someone angry at me for posting a Google search, for exa

It could also be that this site has created its own hive-mind environment. Which is especially and bizzarely intolerant of AI at the moment. I don't want the prompt - I may not have access to an LLM to evaluate it. The entire argumen

And now someone is upvoting it? A message on the wrong thread that is a week old and abandoned? I daresay - am I witnessing astroturfing? Oh my!
