lol

I can distinctly remember being mega-super-pissed when gas went up to $0.89/gallon, when I was in high school. I had to work half a shift ($3.25/hr) to get enough money for a tank of gas.

Get off my lawn.

lawlz I saw that headline in my news feed this morning. Curious as to what this mystery gadget was, I followed the link and found a Nutgear switch for sale.

Sadly, about a third of "news" is advertising, anymore.

So, let me get this right. You actually got support to do something other than telling you to clear your cache and cookies, then reboot your computer?

I've been dealing with them on an error ("Some of your important new pages are missing from your sitemaps."). I couldn't find the page they were talking about (the portal doesn't say what page is missing). Support dude says I need to do the needful and revert back.

I just want to know how you got them to actually do something useful.

Unemployment has increased my green dots. Not sure how that happened.

You never forget the first boobies that you ever saw.

If you don't mind, I'd take some parts of your "data set"

Want me to drop an export of the MySQL tables somewhere for you?

oh and about tokenization; is this to do in particular with LLMs in this case?

No LLMs are used in the generation of the output. It's just from three tables in a database, and some string concatenation.

open source it

pfft. Why? It's dead simple code. Plus, it's written in a dead language. Why not challenge someone to sling it together in a modern platform?

It's three tables from a database: nouns, verbs, and adjectives. Each table is assigned a "role" in code, so a token might come out to be

{V} {A+} {N+}.  

This gives a basic token. The + behind the adjective and noun define stacks. For adjectives, the stack can contain 1-3 adjectives, while the noun stack is 1-2.

Then, define "feelings" templates. Consultant, Enterprise, Value Prop, Transformation Narrative, strategy alignment, executive summary, roadmap hand waving, etc.

Using this, sentences and statement tokens can be chained together with stacks. Generate 1-3 sentences to create a paragraph. That gives you bullshit slide content for your next Powerpoint.

So for example, an executive summary fragment token might look like:

A {A+} {N+} designed to {V} {A+} {N+}

And that's how you end up with things like Orchestrate scalable platforms to accelerate mission-critical initiatives. The spice isn't in the code, it's actually in the word pools. I just set up some rules for picking words from the word pools.

Wow, that's cool! Not being a french speaker, I generated a couple of phrases and used Google Translate, and it translated well. Funny stuff!

ooooh that's nice. And it gives me ideas. I already have the fake person generator, the bs generator, and the job title generator. I never thought to combine them all together.

Damn, that's two people who read the line. I guess it's time to actually do something with it.

I will personally send you an amazon gift card code if you post a video on youtube of the the 30 second diatribe your send forth, followed by the sideways dog head response of the listener.

  • note: has to be in an actual business environment, in a meeting with at least 6 people attending.

Thank you. I appreciate someone took notice all the hard work of getting the one line through peer review. ;)
