whenever i see “onii-chan” written out nowadays i mentally translate it as “hey bro”

especially in the context of an in-universe character saying it, yeah

i will always take the time to explain things i find interesting to people. the benefit here is that i can now much more efficiently break large models as well when i come across them. helps me add anti-ai clauses to websites, cv’s, and repos i publish.

yes

yeah, it’s a great way to see the limitations of these systems. just like ctf and ioccc.

dual booting just makes things more difficult. windows likes to silently change things in the bios and on disk drives it manages, basically pulling the rug out from under linux. you can mitigate it by making linux aware of the fact but that’s not the default behaviour, because again dual booting isn’t really recommended.

arma is an annoying one because it’s a bespoke engine with a lot of deep windows integration, coming from the fact that parts of it is from 1995. add online multiplayer anticheat to that and it gets even more difficult.

that said, i got it running on linux in like… 2019, so i would have thought it to be easier now.

i refuse to use ml models for code. the copyright issues alone should be enough to keep them away from every public code base until the matter is settled. but also because local tooling is, frankly, shit. i have a bit of hope for text diffusion models, but i have a hard time seeing the situation improving because everyote is full in on cloud models now.

i do. i experiment with transformer and diffusion models like a few hours a month, tops. the result isn’t interesting enough. the process of bending and breaking the models is the fun part.

helping the separatists prolly

i think the first qiestion i have is, what use do you see in this? because… it’s a readme file. it’s written once, maybe updated when the build process changes, but it’s generally static. what’s more, it has no required sections, many projects don’t need examples, and most things on the big forges don’t have links. it’s just a freeform document. it doesn’t even have to be markdown. rst is pretty common as well, as is plaintext. are you suggesting a tool that can parse a file of unknown format and figure out whether it contains predefined structures?

you know, i’ve tried to defend some usage in the past, explaining my processes and the many steps of manual refinement, masking, and layerwork i put in to things, how i only run local models with open weights, how all my power comes from hydro etc etc

but as the tools keep evolving i’ve realised nobody else seems to actually care about the process. the pro-people just want as much slop as possible. someone likened it to a slot machine, where you keep pulling just because. that’s where we are now.

it’s not. demand just dropped off a cliff.

seems to work pretty well in most of the world

yeah let’s abolish accreditation, certification and measurement standards. love to get a bridge designed by some rando making it up as they go.

the problem isn’t certifications, the problem is that some countries charge money to study for them. end for-profit education schemes instead.

probably, because i happen to love the second one.

amnamnam goop

which one? they made two most wanteds, seven years apart, both completely different

what even is the norwegian one? boiled cabbage and meat? it’s like you guys have never heard of lutefisk
