I only just recently found this youtube channel. I've been having so much fun looking at all the technology that used to be. I thought I was old school having worked with Tandem and JCL and all that, but this is an entire other generation.

oof... i clicked on that.

I feel like I'm taking Crazy Pills. That was the most bizarre AJ (AP?) article I've read.

i just grepped my codebase where i let claude markdowns go rampant. 212 instances of "load-bearing"

>The real story here is that this may be the beginning of governments restricting the availability of strong LLMs to the public, to you.

I can't agree more. This is a precedent not just in denial but possible vagueness. Judiciaries have 'vagueness doctrines' to counter such laws/directives but _these_ may be re-trumped by the deference given to national security.

If we don't get soon a framework by which models may be measured as 'too powerful' vs 'not too powerful' we supercharge the self-dealing (corruption) that this administration has brazenly adopted. Many fingers can be put on many scales; groks may be given a pass while others are held to higher "standards".

Will OpenAI now just asymptotically bump its versions to 5.99999999 to stay under a limit that nobody really understands?

I realize that this has all just happened and we might get some good rigorous clarification from our government.... sigh. We are living in a kakistocracy. Who am I kidding?

no uiua :(

I guess that's what I always do. or grep or awk or sed.. Maybe if a program takes hours to return it's helpful to be able to search the terminal, but otherwise i'm just pushing up with my arrow and `| grep -v UGLY | grep BEAUTIFUL`

I'm glad you responded (i'm assuming you knew i wasn't criticizing the effort, but just in case -- I wasn't). I was assuming asteroid trail, but I've read that green stars can't exist and _could_ be a technosignature of "little green men". :) Your work on this is lovely. The combined effort of so many smart people over decades of work is truly heartening. Thank you.

I think Sudoku can be very fun to play with new rules, when you begin thinking in higher abstractions. I'm a big fan of anti-knight rules.

I look forward everyday to see what new puzzles are out on the Cracking-the-cryptic channel.

IMO, your use of the word 'satisfying' is to me the definition of fun!

I'm surprised Pandoc didn't fit the bill. It's quite configurable with fenced attributes.

I switched from using MD-->(Pandoc-->(latex))--> PDF to using MD-->(Pandoc-->(typst))--> PDF.
