fuck yes. I don’t think my brain knows what to do with the happy/excited neurotransmitters that news caused it to produce

this feels like a pattern too — so many naturally divergent or non-standard (from the perspective of a white American who thinks they own the English language) elements of writing are getting nonsensically trashjacketed as telltale signs that a text must be generated by an LLM. see also paully g trashjacketing “delve” for purely racist reasons and the authors of the Nix open letter having the accusation of LLM use leveled at them by people who didn’t read the letter and didn’t want anyone else to either.

React has entered the chat (don’t try talking to it yet though, it has to “asynchronously” load every individual UI element in the jankiest way possible)

I ask for the dumbest things like “decrease the padding on the sidebar by half” because I’m too lazy to find it

this is so much slower (in both keystrokes and raw time, not to mention needing to re-prompt) and much more expensive than just going into the fucking CSS and pressing the 3 buttons needed to change the padding for that selector, and the only reason why this would ever be hard is because they’re knee deep in LLM generated slop and they can’t find fucking anything in there. what a fucking infuriating way to interact with a machine.

it’s amazing how intensely these assholes want to end Wikipedia and pollute all other community information sources beyond repair. it feels like it’s all part of the same strategy:

• without consent, scrape all the information from an online source as destructively as you can
• if possible, render that source useless by polluting it with LLM crap
• otherwise, shut it down through political means
• now that you’ve pulled the ladder up behind you, replace that information source with your garbage LLM and start rentseeking harder than Netflix

It is not for those easily duped by what they find in their minds or online.

fuck I hate when my own brain dupes me into getting on the internet

courtesy of 404media: fuck almighty it’s all my nightmares all at once including the one where an amalgamation of the most aggressively mediocre VPs I’ve ever worked for replaces everything with AI and nobody stops them because tech is fucked and the horrors have already been normalized

Particular to if statements, C will do things push and pull values from the stack which takes a small but occasionally noticeable amount of cycles.

holy fuck. llvm in shambles

you know I was having a slow day yesterday cause I only just caught on: you think we program GPUs in plain fucking C? absolute dipshit no notes

do we have a name yet for the junior political commentators who appear to have learned the word narrative and apply it to every situation like I apply mayo to a sandwich? (disgusting amounts, you will shit)
