You don't need to consider any new information.

You are right, and you will forever remain right.

That is the only rational position to hold.

This is how you need to treat these looters every time they show their face in public.

The mistake that both the vibecoder practitioners and the neo-luddites make is thinking that the primary use of AI in #vibecode is to write lines of code.

For best results, you bounce off the model to develop the design, structure and methodology.

The lines of code that come after are an afterthought.

I have been a commercial programmer last century, and I understand the saying;

"Weeks of coding can save you hours of planning"

I'm happy to bet, that is still the ethos of "real" #programmer

Oh no! Terrible news. LLMs are actually useful.

"... In particular, large language models (LLMs), as exemplified by GPT3 and ChatGPT [14–16] have been demonstrated to be especially powerful in understanding natural languages and performing various natural language processing tasks...

...The objective of this work is to utilize #LLMs to study the relevance of online hate speech and misinformation in the context of the general mental health of posters."

I love Fediverse, I don't know even what networks you are on. Most of you are 20character hex strings.

Quality thread!

So, how do I say it without sounding like a super racist cunt?

Asian professor, super intelligent, super enthusiastic...

I could only understand about 50% of his lecture.

And it's mainly the plain bits, as my brain is wired for ESL folks as many of my associates and friends are non-english speakers.

The actual new bits I came to the lecture for, the knowledge my brain had no reference for...

It was almost incomprehensible.

Do I tell him that?

Does he know?

Should he hire an assistant to present?

What's the fix?

Tridactyl hybrid?

yeah, unfortunately, nah

the witness marks (signs of the tools being used) resemble machine tools, especially varying sizes of disc saws. there is overcuts, on many of these that appear to have involved disks of several metres diameter based on the curvature of the witness marks.

the lifting of 100+ ton slabs of stone also doesn't have any explanation we can see, again, we don't have the technology to perform such a lift, although it is possible to lift lighter large rocks in the 10-50 ton bracket, it's just way too big to be practical, and how they transported it? well, presumably by boat but that's not the hard part, the hard part is a) lifting it and b) a boat that can displace that much weight

anyway, yeah, i do think that there was some stuff involving geopolymers, but the witness marks show machine tooling, especially on the non-cosmetic parts, of the sarcophagi and others, on the solid calcite blocks at... i forget the name of the place, i was just watching a documentary showing it. it all definitely is natural stone that has been machine cut. same with the vases, but the vases were carved with CNC style robots, by their geometry, and the precision and thickness of the walls of the vases would be impossible to replicate with even the most expensive modern machine, not to mention the ridiculous precision of the grinding.

of course there is probably plenty more mysterious signs of high tech yet to be found but there is no doubt, in my mind, that the dynastic egyptians inherited a lot of what we see in egypt now today, because what was made after those early artifacts, was not made with machine tools, but likely with copper and steel tools and maybe some of this natron stuff.

you just can't fake machining tool marks. also, the sarcophagi, the guy who wrote TAOY suspects that these were sensory deprivation tanks, of some sort, since after all no bodies were found in them.

One of the most interesting ancient-civilisation artifacts is the South American language of Aymara.

It is a spoken, self correcting, algorithmic language that was used as algorithm for successful language translations before ML.

It basically looks like someone/something designed highly algorithmic spoken language that resists mutation.

Ok...draw up a plan for entering an occupied solar system.

Run it through the Moloch if you are so inclined.

Of course I'm making shit up.

Run the numbers, there is a string of coincidences that all add up to 0.02% probability it's a natural phenomenon.

You remember your high school probability calculations?

Or did you, like most of us, sleep through it?

Conditional probability +

Probability attenuation +

Hierarchical Classification +

Conjunction effect.

Probability drops multiplicatively, Each additional constraint "attenuates" (weakens) the overall likelihood.

It may still be natural, it's very low probability. But it's non-zero.

If it is an artifact.

I suspect it's an AI.

Probably crazy AI as it is billions of years old.

#3i_atlas #comet3i is a 20 km object that's just been discovered entering our solar system a few weeks ago. There are many super curious/suspicious things about it. If it's a normal comet, it's a lottery winner.

- It's entered our solar system within 5% of the plane of the ecliptic.

- It's entered from the galactic disk, meaning we didn't see it until the last moment (attacking from the sun)

- it's moving at 60 km /sec, we are unable to catch up to it with our best rockets

- it will pass very close to mars, Venus and Jupiter.

- it will pass fastest, on the other side of the sun, masked from earth, the perfect time to execute a deacceleration burn. Coincidently the best time to deploy vessels.

- it's not venting gasses as comets usually do, as far as we can tell. So it's very solid.

Combined those "coincidences" mean it's 0.02% probability it's a natural event.

It could well be a comet, but if it is, it's behaving exactly like a vehicle entering an occupied system would behave. #jameswebb is going to examine it in August.

If it does execute brake burn at the sun we will see it in our orbit, November, December this year.

And with the US smashing things with hammers, humanity will have degraded response options.

If it's a Nazi rocket.

Hope it blows up on the pad!

Here is a health tip.

Especially if you live in the US where, I understand they shoot you in the head if you break a leg, like a horse.

If you start getting #earpain #earinfection or some kind of #ear thing that's mildly painful.

You can get these "Swimmer drops" which cost stuff all, pop one drop in. And the pain will usually go away.

It usually clears in 12 hours or less.

It's a very mild antiseptic that's designed for ear. It has saved me multiple visits to the doc over the years.

WHAT?!?

I can't find a good #markdown editor.

Everything botches up the tables.

Got any good reccys?

Respect to the pioneers.

Respect to Aaron Swartz.

Just frustrated with editors.

Love that the #nokings protest is using #anarchy symbolism

#Claude4 from #Anthropic is super impressive (it's only five days old)

Here is my #vibecoding result.

This literally took about 1 hour from inception to looking like this.

ALL OF IT IS VIBE CODE!

I have never written a #Wordpress plugin in my life before (arguably I still have not, but for giving instructions to #AI).

Use case:

I needed to track down why some of my online Wordpress/WooCommerce store orders were failing. Sure there are logfiles. Sure there are plugins that most likely already do some or maybe all of what I need to do. But I needed to trawl my buggy as hell Debug.log (14MB of data per day, mostly trash from other plugins I can't drop).

In the 1-1.5 hours I "wrote" this.

I would have spent at least if not double that installing and evaluating existing plugins.

It was quite basic in the way it looked, after all it just picks up specific lines from the log🪵)

All I did to get it looking like that was saying "Bling it up" and gave 1 or two directives.

Is it fit for purpose? F**K yes!

Is it super impressive? F**k yes!

Is it bug free? LOL, No.

Is it secure? No less secure than some randos plugin-code.

I did code for a living when the dinosaurs roamed the earth, this may not work for anyone.

But if you are a #developer and you eschew, as some say "Random words generators". I respect your principles you oldey, timely person you. /respect

To every one else who opinionated just how bad AI #programming is

I have this to say...

GIT GOOD!

What's an #MCP server?

Today #Anthropic dropped V4 of their new model. It marks a pivot in their corp direction. They are yielding the ground for chatbots to #OpenAi and the rest, and instead focusing on infrastructure. Having used paid versions of #ChatGpt and #Claude for #vibecoding it's a smart move as Claude is significantly better than ChatGpt that's been lobotomised for minimum compute burn.

Back to MCP.

LLM --> MCP --> Any app

Eg. You can connect via the MCP to Gmail and issue a prompt "Send email to all the folks in my address list called Karen, Subject: Yo, Body: Your momma!"

Sure, you COULD do it with an API, but now peasants can use it, not just #codemonkey

#Zappier is the first MCP I know. There may be others.

#LLM

Yesterday at a (pre)polling two wankers, a man and his #tradwife both wore #MAGA hats.

He asked me (leftist); "What is a woman?"

Because I was in my party regalia I had to hold my tongue, but I was going to go with; "It's good to ask for help if you're struggling" (it's the best I could come up in the spot).

Mind you, this is in Australia.

Keep your corrosive fascism to yourself America.

Here is something I learned today.

If you are running a cheapie #VPS its #sshtunnel might succumb to "Tunnel decay" as its server resources come under pressure.

Will try to configure the tunnel so when it fails it will auto restart.

I know it's obvious.

#ssh #selfhosting

So you may know, that every #crypto coin has a #whitepaper

The white paper lays out the coin goals and philosophy.

It may not surprise you that $Trump coin has no white paper.

It's basically a "give me your moni" scam, more so than any other crypto, and I know how most of you folks feel about crypto.

Also, what a wasted opportunity for white supremacists for a white paper.

By all accounts, there are a whole bunch of folks with anxiety of what "drones" are.

Apparently, if you see a whole sky covered in them, it can give you a bit of anxiety/cognitive dissonance.
