The question that matters the most:

> But isn't AI getting better and more reliable at equivalent speed?

If we're talking about LLMs, then no. Rather, the word 'stagnation' comes to mind. Just forget about the most idiotically, prohibitively expensive compute cost for a second: they're still probabilistic bullshit machines, and generating exponentially more data to use for training is bit of a problem as we *kinda* need humans to do that, what with the whole synthetic data sets leading to model degradation.

And that last part is a good wink to your lazy chef parallel/analogy/whatever in the fuck, so I rest my case without further explanation.

Now, could this change with some fancy-pants quantum googloid black magic on anabolic steroids shit? I couldn't tell ya for sure, but I'ma say 'no' to that one too just to be a dick about it, OK. "It'll keep improving" is what they always say, met with farting noises and butt soup.

Walruses.

Middle Eastern is appropriate for the general public but brothers don't spice the same in Medina el Sadr way they do in Dahieh. So, khaytii, a suggestion if I may: also mention *where* the cook is from -- it *is* vital information for the connoisseur.

@cuddlyogre Both, as a matter of fact!

There are a few still left of the original undecimvirate (council of eleven, they're like elder magi but "edgy" if you will), who were spared from the undoing, and they all bear deep, irreversible psychological trauma from having witnessed and in some cases participated in the horror that unfolded. They're very ancient, powerful characters so I like to use them sparingly, but their arcs kinda revolve around the indelible impact that such heights of depravity could theoretically have, one way or another. Needless to say, they're all batshit insane.

And then the unmade themselves hang around like the collective specter of said depravity's victim, in the form of the temporal distortions that plague the land as a result of the undoing, and also as the night eternal (or 'shadow realm'), which is where the undecimvirate is locked up. It is *essentially* the cosmical corpse of the unmade. So the killer is bathed in the blood, we could say.

@CoreFusionX Full disclosure: I'm not on anything, not even meds or particularly good hash. I don't even drink, and the multiple concurrent instances of me allegedly smoking crack are just that, alleged -- allegedly.

Which now leaves us to contemplate the even more terrifying realization that I am entirely sober and this is just the natural unfiltered product of my mind.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

wait is this good or bad? can't tell.

I got all the way down to compiler design before I landed a job. And now I no longer work on my own compiler lmao.

@kiki me big smark deblooper! me build scalable colonoscopy machine soffwurz in rooster-walrus!

You have clearly vaporized more crack than I could possibly ever, therefore my deepest respect, first and foremost.

The strongest argument to be made against this is that the constant need to interpret values would add a sizable overhead, so not the best design for systems programming.

For a scripting language, though, it may be workable. The concept reminds me of implementing small DSLs in perl, a sin that I have undeniably committed without shame.

Hail freebasin'.

@retoor im sorry man, i got carried away :c

@antigermgerm SON OF A BITCH THATS A TUNE FROM MY CHILDHOOD.

@retoor or perhaps I'm not so new! wow, much secret. such arcana.

I don't remember when I first joined devotion rant, save that it was a few years before 2020 and rutee was still here. dude, everything was so much better back then :c

Are you talking about Google?

@iiii I'm not really at freedom to change much as it's not my code, so I can't really do shit my way. That's where the confusion and frustration comes in.

@BordedDev No, this is Patrick.

By which I mean octopusdog.

By which I mean dear uncle Bjarne Stroustrup hypothetically penetrating humanity's figurative asshole with a sawed-off shotgun; much harder to do in ceeploosploos, but when you do, oh boy, does it blow off your entire digestive tract, huh?

Oh, God, why can't it just be a damned fucking pointer!

Not saying I agree with the claim, but let's rationalize it. If you're caring for an infant that means you don't really sleep, that alone sucks deeper than a lot of _regular_ jobs. Small children in general can't do shit on their own so they're completely dependant on you, and once they learn how to talk, they'll also drive you fucking nuts.

So it *can* be quite stressful. But is it the MOST STRESSFUL? I dunno; most probably not.

For a file siggy? Not confusing if you read it in hex, because you can *see* the space ($20464450).

But when you render them as text, that's the first mistake, because you shouldn't. What if the siggy was something jackoffesque? "NICETITS" ($41CE7175) would read "uqÎA", which is just wrong on an ethical level.

The terminology itself is philosophically if not also politically loaded, given that { "free software" != "open source" };

Furthermore, one may think of the idealistic **LIBRE** as outright digital communism. Thus, making a conscious attempt to distance oneself from it, even if solely for economic reasons rather than ideological, has an inherent political baggage; essentially, it constitutes a statement.

Perhaps it is the mere fact of existence which begets thinking, that in turn and by it's very nature makes the individual possess of some from of ideology. And I phrase this bit as a suggestion -- rather than the assertion of truth that it is -- entirely as a sophisticated manifestation of disrespect.

In summary, and to answer the question posed within the type of post being parodied, everything is "so political" by necessity of being.

PS: Walruses.

I sort everything into markdown files, loosely classify it into folders, then use a script for search, it's just grep this regexp for files in dir, more or less. I handle search that way as searching for the content itself tends to be more effective.

That's pretty much it. A terminal, an editor, and some hellspawned perl script.

@Herpesflare Mm-hmm.

You mad; go take a shit. And keep your bitch ass from _starting_ the conversation next time: I *told* you not to talk to me again, so maybe take the hint.

Scum.

@Herpesflare You insist?

The disgusting part is you fail to realize how your argument is a prejudice-based call for persecution and erradication of every religious group; watching you try to defend such an atrocious stance by comparing jews to nazis is frankly more embarrassing than amusing.

And you then speak of hatred; O, LORD, spare me!

As for Python, do we automatically get any guarantee that a C implementation of Python is memory safe when compiling it? Not with standard C, and not with a standard compiler.

We may then want to argue that we don't really get this with a Rust implementation either, which would actually be more sensible, as a more robust compiler doesn't fully solve programmer carelessness, if only it were that simple.

But do we do get a fair better guarantee with a Rust implementation? Yes. So we may more confidently call that 'safe', long as we agree that we are using a VERY restricted definition of 'safety'.

Anything else? If no, then block me.

@Herpesflare Disgusting, hmm? You compared religion to nazism, then played dumb when reminded that 'religion' includes judaism.

I expected you to have at *least* sufficient mental capacity not to talk to me anymore after I explicitly requested it, yet it appears you can't even do that. What else do you expect but hostility?

But if you _must_ know why you're wrong: the point of 'safe' is you don't have to [trust] that the programmer didn't miss anything as the language itself provides the [guarantee] that they didn't mess up. That's the entire point.

I can write safe code in assembly. Do you want to take my word for it, or have to read it to make sure I can be trusted, or would you rather know that I'm telling true the moment it successfully compiles? Then there you have it.

Your flimsy nuts are free for me to crush and grind into dust; you are below the dirt beneath the sole of my shoe.

Nothing further.

@Herpesflare I'd call your ability for reasoning a turd on kerosene, but that would imply you posses of some form of sapience, which is evidently untrue.

I believe you refer to when the NSA recommended use of certain languages. The full list, if I recall, was Go, Rust, C#, Swift, Java, Ruby, Python, and Delphi.

However, note that the core Python implementation is still written in C, that is, CPython. (https://github.com/python/cpython)

Perhaps the NSA meant RustPython, then? ;> (https://github.com/RustPython/...)

Either way, most useful code is still written in C, so...

A question about God, the answer to which should tell nothing of religious beliefs?

Sister kiki, you fasted the entire month _before_ Ramadan, so only God knows of the sinuous intricacies of your immaculately devotional stratagems. However, I am utterly convinced that your phrasing is, most assuredly, a subtle confession of your ardorous, fervent faith.

For in commanding us to tell nothing of belief, you command us not to simply believe, but to **KNOW** there is a God; and in posing such questions, you humbly remind your brethren not to fall for idolatry.

Give thanks and praise, for we shall not serve nor bow ourselves down to no one and no thing but the LORD. A "very powerful entity" is not greater than all, [TRANSCENDENT OVER ALL]; it is IMPOTENT before the Almighty, Most Exalted, Most High.

In summary, sister kiki reminds us to _both_ (utilize reason) and {reject shirk}, for the later requires the former.

Let us now rejoice, and join our hands and voices in prayer...

why is this so true, it hurts my feelings :c

@retoor Nice. I'll give it a go. Though right now I'm the homosapiens version of mashed potatoes. Need coffee to come back to life, can't have coffee until the sun goes down. Oh noes.

@retoor Mine is more the for dummies version you see.

The prompt is lacking a lot of things, there are a few *esoteric* rules about spellmaking for instance, and I left those out because I wanted to keep it as short as I could. Besides, you can just make up what the spell does and the AI can generally fill in the blanks.

If I had the freedom to instruct the bot in an absolutely thorough way, that is, had I the assurance that it won't get confused the longer the instruction is, then I'd probably make it *slightly* longer and more complex, but not by a lot. For the most part it's just tiny little details about what happens when you do this or that with magic, mostly there for balance, like how energy consumption works, the concept of spell degree, and how any spell above the eleventh degree is so volatile that it's nearly guaranteed to cause a twenty-meter radius explosion of all-consuming infernal black fire.

Maybe one day...

@retoor aaah so thats snek. i thought you were talking about python and i was confused.
