Babylon Berlin


Guys. This problem is solved already. Landlock, bubblewrap, UNIX DAC.


You better believe I was degaussing as many CRTs as I could.
You should file an issue.


idk man the doner kebab I had in Berlin was way better than in Istanbul. Istanbul still had excellent food, just not the kebab for whatever reason. Maybe we just didn’t try the right place.


Had some amazing Indian food in Bordeaux.

Doesn’t Matrix do everything you just listed?


Copyparty. Or any other web file server.
Rootless docker exists now. Not sure why people still don’t use it.


Real history that explains how existing power structures came to exist. Not the bullshit history that schools teach, which is just wrote memorization and usually ignorant of the most important themes of class struggle.
Judgement call. When it’s something prone to change that’s hard to get right, duplicating it just creates more maintenance burden.


People who’ve never used Rust or only used it once and couldn’t grok it like to meme that Rust is bad to cope.
They are a useful tool when you understand their shortcomings. They are very inconsistent, so you need to put a lot of guardrails around them.
I don’t really understand how people manage to be productive with swarms of agents. They really need to be babysat IME. I’m constantly waffling between arriving at correct solutions quickly and getting stuck in a tar pit of hallucinated problems and fake analysis.
That said, I’ll be upset when the AI companies inevitably start raising prices or nerfing models.
I’m thinking seriously about using something like a Daylight tablet as a thin client for a more powerful machine at home. Obviously doing real coding by hand would still suck, but LLM-based coding might actually be viable.


Mother!
I found it really enjoyable trying to trace all of the symbolism and allegory. For whatever reason, audiences didn’t like it so much.

It’s quite highly rated.


Why deleted? This was a good rebuttal.
EDIT: I don’t think the comment really violated rule 1, but there was apparently a followup comment that definitely did, and this one just got removed by association. Here’s a very slightly paraphrased version of it that should not break the rules:
Gish gallop of [explitive].
A) overblown, and that argues for cleaner power, better cooling, and more efficient models
B) regulation failure
C) incorrect, they have made discoveries that humans have been unable to. All human knowledge is built off previous knowledge.
D) the enemy is both weak and strong. If they don’t produce anything good then the people who are losing their jobs can’t have either, right?
E) small study based on one task which people are misrepresenting. The actual evidence shows it makes people smarter as they shift priorities.
F) only for vulnerable people. Better safeguards are needed for the weak minded.
G) argument against using people’s likeness not ai
H) use an open source Chinese model
I) market distortion problem, not a principled reason no one should use the technology any more than GPU shortages made all graphics work illegitimate.
J) see (H)
K) try one argument next time. Your best one, [some snarky sarcasm]
Slop points aside, I found 5.4 to be pretty ass compared to 5.3 codex. Took way longer and wasted more tokens.
Yeah. I wouldn’t model my lifestyle after his per se, but he is definitely an inspiration.
