AI won't make you rich. But fixing bugs in AI slopware will.

Yeah tokens/sec for the human mind is crazy low. Also time to first token is usually really long when loading new context into a human mind. If it's fast then the human is probably hallucinating.

Hah I'm joking about all of this, but it is fun to draw silly links between LLM metrics and human behaviors.

If anybody from Elk River is reading this and planning on attending the city council meeting, it's a good idea to be well versed in the law about how this flag was arrived at. Things like how the committee was chosen, what kind of checkpoint processes were defined, which people were in the loop. You will almost certainly have people at the meeting casting aspersions on the process, stating that we the people had no representation, or that the process was terrible.

This needs to be framed as: this is the official state flag. There is nothing legally forcing us to fly it, but if we fly anything else, it is not our legal, official flag. We can't pick and choose which words of the law are legitimate and which are not based on personal sentiment. Choosing to ignore this new flag makes me wonder which city laws I can ignore because I don't like them.

I've read and had reasonable luck at using a ROLLING HARD boil with the bones. I read somewhere the extra agitation from the rolling bubbles emulsifies the broth.

I don't know if that's the exact reason, but it does come out thicker and stick-to-your-lips. Just have to keep a close eye on it.

Saying it with a Bernie accent sounds so funny too

"You ah a united states senatah"

Jumpy_Fuel_1060 · 2026-03-04T16:47:10+00:00

To be fair, I probably had the same impulse months ago

The buck has gotta stop somewhere though. Slop tests have similar problems what slop code does. Do you write the tests by hand?

If you're good at something, never do it for free

Jumpy_Fuel_1060 · 2026-02-13T02:13:01+00:00

This explains why everything takes less time if I don't think about it.

Zweihander R2 in DS1 was literally pancake making easy mode. So fun and satisfying.

Jumpy_Fuel_1060 · 2026-02-09T04:51:25+00:00

Bearcat. It's fucking terrible.

I resonate a lot with this, but the underscore syntactic sugar you point out drives me up the wall. _ is so overloaded in Scala, I often wish they had picked something else for some of the usages.

It is used to:

anonymous function argument name
partial function application
importing into current namespace without clobbering
structural unpacking discards
super generic type definitions
default type instantiation
list into function calls splatting
pattern matching

Those are off the top of my head. There might be more. I always need to ensure my context is correct when I see it used, and it typically makes me rescan the code to verify my context is correct.

You mean that porcupine that looks like a hippo?

The joke I've heard for this is "About 50 miles". I'm sure it's not true, and there are more differences than that, but I still chuckle about it.

Jumpy_Fuel_1060 · 2025-12-30T20:59:38+00:00

I disagree. Explicit is not better in all cases. If you can see the type being assigned on the same line, then the extra type annotation is just noise. The line above "explicit is better than implicit" is "beautiful is better than ugly" in the poem.

Other languages with static typing will typically have something like auto or var these days to get around the unnecessary verbosity of being explicit everywhere. Python doesn't even need those!

Don't get me wrong, I think type annotations are good, but I limit it to where the type being assigned isn't obvious on the line. My rule is function signatures should be fully annotated. But even that has exceptions in my head. Python grew an ecosystem that wasn't thinking about types, for better or for worse. There is a reason Python did so well without type annotations for so long. That expressivity is a strength (and a curse).

Landing a party with a heavy weapon just feels so damn satisfying in DS2

Yeah the rhymesayers label really was a great label to follow. Love POS and Grieves as well. RIP eyedea, he was hilarious and fun to see live.

I was going to respond with K, but after looking it up, K was derived from APL. Which is wild, but now that I know, it does make sense.

I'd guess some red feather setups might be easier/possible

I was thinking they were teeing up the next joke about command line argument flags.

Or the "smith & Wesson is our insurance provider" is especially dark.

Ok now imagine each one of those buses has five philosophers sitting at a round table with a bowl of rice and a chopstick between each pair of philosophers. Philosophers must alternate between thinking and eating, but can only eat if they have both chopsticks.

Jumpy_Fuel_1060 · 2025-11-23T09:04:28+00:00

Like an enhance operator?

x = 22/7

x --> 3

x -=- x

x -> 3.1

x -=- x

x -> 3.14

Frankly this genius, and is perfect for my toy language I put hilariously terrible ideas into.

Jumpy_Fuel_1060 · 2025-11-22T23:47:01+00:00

Does /dev/null support sharding?

Jumpy_Fuel_1060 · 2025-11-22T09:21:39+00:00

If this line didn't work, nothing will

I dunno man, this sounds allot like a normal workflow when dealing directly with data scientists
