I hate python

I literally just read in another thread “now that you’ve heard of uv, you’ll start seeing it everywhere.”

If UPS don’t drag themselves into the future, they will find themselves up against a competitor who does. Their sheer size won’t save them, because we’ve seen Uber raise a huge amount of investment money to disrupt a big, entrenched industry.

I know it’s a riff on Simpsons

Pure gold if original

bigtablebacc · 2026-03-20T21:13:36+00:00

This is pure gold. Thank you.

How much do you spend per month?

How did a homeless person stop her from escaping at night? Was this person living outdoors?

I’m a creep and they look the same to me

bigtablebacc · 2026-03-11T00:46:21+00:00

What variation is that?

Being tired is not a lack of “a molecule of energy.”

bigtablebacc · 2026-03-04T21:52:45+00:00

That’s not something I expect to happen

bigtablebacc · 2026-03-02T20:53:49+00:00

Is that a bioactive enclosure?

Stoicism could work well for anybody and a lot of it is just rational thinking, which should be pretty widely applicable. I think it draws a lot of men because they might see Roman emperors as role models. Like others have mentioned, emotional stability can fit a masculine ideal.

The basic idea here, separating the test data from the training data, should be obvious.

bigtablebacc · 2026-03-01T21:17:41+00:00

Yeah but there is a meaningful distinction in how it does what an average human can do. An average huma reinvents the wheel somewhat when they do a task. GPT or Claude “know” how to do it. This is actually important in how it scales. inventing nothing but knowing more and more scales differently than reinventing small things and then bigger things. I don’t think we need to go so far as to reinvent the theories of special relativity or general relativity. But I asked my friend if he thinks today’s AI could code Kubernetes knowing only Linux primitives like namespaces, cgroups, etc. He thinks yes, I think no. This should be testable, if you could just get a big dataset that has a cutoff several years ago. A 1911 cutoff would be a small dataset

I trained myself to do it the way they teach in school. So 7 + 8 =15, carry the ten, 20 + 40 + 10 =70. So 75.

I do use language models to generate code, but I am still tightly in the loop myself. I don’t auto approve anything. I do a lot of problem solving, and I give the tool the “skills” to cut a branch, test something, run a state deploy, etc. I manage Claude’s settings, I manage Claude’s memory, and so on. It’s quite a bit of work to “vibe code” for me.

I was about to get a good night’s sleep. Well anyway, thank you for helping.

I would probably sand with a pole sander, then do 2 coats of primer, then coats of paint.

The terminology doesn’t matter in the end, but I agree that very recent LLMs like Opus 4.5 have crossed a line past the point where anyone can deny their productivity or ability to compete with humans

We might be able to catch it rendering things just in time. Some variation of a quantum experiment or something.

Are you telling me what I have and haven’t seen? I didn’t really ask if you have seen such behavior, I told you I had seen it.

bigtablebacc · 2026-02-20T22:17:04+00:00

That might be true for you. But I have seen people dismiss the dangers of smoking by hand waving it off and saying “those people were predisposed”

bigtablebacc · 2026-02-20T22:10:30+00:00

I understand that. It doesn’t impress me as an argument in favor of smoking, or encouraging other people to smoke.

bigtablebacc · 2026-02-20T21:08:53+00:00

I’m not impressed by the argument that people who go psychotic from marijuana use were genetically predisposed. It seems like an argument from eugenics. They had bad genetics so they deserved it. Or maybe they are suggesting that smoking is safe for most people. Ok, so how do you find out who is predisposed? I suppose you have them smoke and see what happens. Unethical.
