We are more prone to anthromorphizing LLMs than to humanizing suffering humans

@larsmb it's all a big distraction from actual real world problems, which I find fascinating (and terrifying) on a psychological/sociological level. Like, the whole "AGI will kill us all" scare/movement is not a conspiracy but it grew organically...

today is "attempt to bring up the CO2 sensor boards" day.

I am remarkably nervous about this.

@gsuberland oh wow, that's a wild bang/buck.. care to share a link?

some guy used my work without attribution on youtube (this happens a few times a month) so I sent a "hey, sorry, that's not allowed, please remove it" request and today the guy uploaded eight new videos - all direct copies of my work.

sigh.

dmca go brrrrt

@gsuberland IMO it's like law enforcement in general... ACAB, but when I get assaulted I'll go to the police - there are no other realistic options

her: "when are you going to compile the entirety of LLVM to WebAssembly?"
me: "yes."

@whitequark super exciting! Do you think it's possible to target WASM for an LLVM JIT compiler?

📢 Short announcement for chaos.social users 📢

We just made a minor change to our rules:

The sentence “Provide credit for creative works that are not your own.” was moved from the “Best Practices” section up to the proper rules.

We also expanded it to clarify our stance on AI generated content: “That includes marking AI generated content clearly as such.”

You can always find our full rules at https://meta.chaos.social/rules

@ordnung I like the idea of explicit attribution! Question: does credit need to be added in the following examples?
(assuming alt text is provided)

  1. Screenshot of a tweet with author's username visible

  2. TikTok video that ends with the author's username

  3. Comic where the author's homepage is embedded as text/signature

dngrs,
@dngrs@chaos.social avatar

@ordnung thank you for clarifying! The screen reader argument doesn't make sense to me, given I wrote alt text would be supplied. But I'm not here to DEBATE so it's all good.

Das der Abwärtstrend nicht ewig weitergehen konnte war ja klar, leider entfernen wir uns jetzt wieder vom niedrigen Niveau - die nächste Welle nimmt seit einigen Wochen Fahrt auf, unsere temporäre Immunität lässt offenbar mal wieder nach:

@larsmb das ist ein unangenehm steiler Anstieg.

Once again I get foiled by switching languages. :blobcatfacepalm2:

In Javascript, you have to compare strings with ===, not ==, or else you'll run into type coercion problems, because Javascript thinks 1 == "1" is a totally fine thing to be true. (it's not)

But in Kotlin, === compares identity not equality for strings. But in the JVM, string values are aggressively cached, so === actually does what you want most of the time. Unless your strings come from weird places, like JNI code. Then you get awful non-deterministic behavior that's incredibly hard to debug, but it totally goes away when you use the correct comparison operator == for strings.

sigh I'm not really as good at this whole programming thing as I should be by now.

@happyborg what didn't you like about angular? I found it surprisingly pleasant, especially the reactive API. Though that can be rather brain melting too, and hard to debug...
