I don't want to grow up.

FWIW, https://poison.madhouse-project.org/ is the iocaine demo host, it's equally garbage for all visitors, and is an endless maze of junk.

Feel free to send LLMs that way.

"As if openclaw and android had a baby", and that's a recommendation, not a warning? WTF.

Yes. My Actual Intelligence lives in my head, and runs mostly on coffee.

Most GenAI was trained on material they had no right to train on (including plenty of mine). So I'm doing my small part, and serving known AI agents an infinite maze of garbage. They can fuck right off.

Now, if we're talking about real AI, that isn't just a server park of disguised markov chains in a trenchcoat, neural networks that weren't trained on stolen data, that's a whole different story.

Invent a time machine. Go back in time. Study.

Failing that, learn from your mistakes, and next time... well... study.

Sadly, that's not code Linus wrote. Nor one he merged. (It's from git, copied from rsync, committed by Junio)

...and here I am, running a blog that if it gets 15k hits a second, it won't even bat an eye, and I could run it on a potato. Probably because I don't serve hundreds of megabytes of garbage to visitors. (The preview image is also controllable iirc, so just, like, set it to something reasonably sized.)

There are no bugs. Just happy little accidental features.

Steam Deck, because it is handheld, and can run a lot of my Steam games. I can also dock it to a big screen and attach a controller.

The single best thing I like about Zed is how they unironically put up a video on their homepage where they take a perfectly fine function, and butcher it with irrelevant features using CoPilot, and in the process:

  • Make the function's name not match what it is actually doing.
  • Hardcode three special cases for no good reason.
  • Write no tests at all.
  • Update the documentation, but make the short version of it misleading, suggesting it accepts all named colors, rather than just three. (The long description clarifies that, so it's not completely bad.)
  • Show how engineering the prompt to do what they want takes more time than just writing the code in the first place.

And that's supposed to be a feature. I wonder how they'd feel if someone sent them a pull request done in a similar manner, resulting in similarly bad code.

I think I'll remain firmly in the "if FPS is an important metric in your editor, you're doing something wrong" camp, and will also steer clear of anything that hypes up the plagiarism parrots as something that'd be a net win.

Very bad, because the usability of such a scheme would be a nightmare. If you have to unzip the files every time you need a password, that'd be a huge burden. Not to mention that unzipping it all would leave the files there, unprotected, until you delete them again (if you remember deleting them in the first place). If you do leave the plaintext files around, and only encrypt & zip for backing up, that's worse than just using the plaintext files in the backup too, because it gives you a false sense of security. You want to minimize the amount of time passwords are in the clear.

Just use a password manager like Bitwarden. Simpler, more practical, more secure.
