too much drama about "the blue woman" on the tl as of late so let me post the blue standard in positive influence

damn the llm situation is so dire they're handing out participation trophies for basic data structures

these are all minimum viable implementations for fucking around I do not expect my hashmap to win any awarda

did a Box and Rc too

made a shit hashmap too. damn this undefined behavior got hands

i really like generative ai in theory but the business model behind all the usable ones plus the overall incentives created by [gestures vaguely at everything] for everyone else to Churn Out Slop really fucks things up. in a perfect world i think they could be fun to play around in

got bored so i implemented my own vector

dampf: Old-school Steam skin for Dear ImGui A 2004-era Steam/VGUI2 tracker skin for Dear ImGui

i've been fiddling with an old-school Steam skin for Dear ImGui: seidt.quest/s/dampf/. i open it several times a day to click and drag stuff around therapeutically because it's… grounding? :D imgui gallery thread post with source and references coming.

dropdown box with a selection of durations from 1 to 4 hours in 5 minute increments. there are 17 choices visible, starting from "2 hours 40 minutes" to "4 hours"

that one guy going "i code everything with llms its the future bro" really explains this dropdown menu in the 'go live' feature (which i otherwise think is pretty good)

Too bad we're rolling with it. 😼

i think im starting to figure out this critical thinking shit. it only took. uh. 23 years.

Every lengthy write-up on "lessons learned" after someone lets an AI process delete their database or all their emails reads like this to me

this is interesting but i do wish they also ran it with a lighter SPA framework like sveltekit or solid start. i do wonder how much of the overhead is just next.js being uniquely bad at life

the jerma tank problem

can't believe this one sick fuck is behind everything going wrong in the world right now. when will anyone do something about devil andy

yeah afaict the jemalloc thing was being talked about since the m1, which was long before chatgpt made genai into the thing it is right now

and if you think im wrong youre free to give me the cost of a pro plan for your llm monthly which i will definitely use towards actually using the llm and not for things like internet bills and food

tldr

unlike some genai boosters i do not think that Making The Models Better will solve any of the important problems behind them
but unlike some genai haters i do not think that they are inherently worthless and can't and won't be able do anything of value no matter what

drinking your tea with salt instead of sugar is a transdermal experience that will tell you gods real name

anyway thank you for coming to my ted talk

start sending a message. i dont know if i want to help amplify this message. even if i could afford a pro subscription required to make them do anything of value

like, that's on you. you're making that mistake yourself but it doesn't affect me. i don't really care at the end of the day

output isn't the big deal and improving the quality of their output will continue to not be the big deal behind people refusing them

but yeah first fix all those then sure use your llms however you want i dont care
