Deleting 107k lines of code is so much more based than adding 107k lines

Oh yeah? Name ONE ape that wrote Shakespeare. Go on I’ll wait

Honestly this is pretty much it. Sometimes you have to be pretty aggressive to get companies to do the thing you need; they will take advantage of the social friction required to keep you in predatory arrangements. They literally design it to be frustrating so you’ll give up. Like you, I try to make it clear to the person I’m speaking with I have no problem with them just the business. But if the corporations require me to get mad to do the right thing I will get mad.

Why not password protect the keys (ala Linux ssh / gpg symmetric encryption for local storage of PPK)

An oversimplification but Imagine you have an algebraic math function where every word in English can be assigned a number.

x+y+z=n where x y z are the three words in a sentence. N is the next predicted word based on the coefficients of the previous 3.

Now imagine you have 10 trillion coefficients instead of 3. That’s an LLM, more or less. Except it’s done procedurally and there’s actually not that many input variables (context window) just a lot of coefficients per input

Vector embeddings with ChromaDB. Basically you pre compute the word embeddings of every row / table / whatever granularity you want and then stick that into a vector DB. Then you do an embedding computation of your query and compare similarity. You can either return the table / row / whatever you want that’s most similar (“semantic search”) or you use that as context for an LLM (“RAG”)

The world standing by and watching a genocide unfold is unconscionable. Children cannot be militants nor terrorists. Unless the kid is literally pointing a gun at your face there is never a justifiable claim of self defense

Did they test the sea floor? Some of it sinks. The concern isn’t radioactive seawater, it’s seabed accumulation working its way into the food chain

I don’t really know what to make of this article.

1. Bosses != executives / people in charge of making return to work decisions. Is there remorse from the people who were actually responsible for the return to work decision-making? or is it middle management who didn’t really want to come back either expressing their lack of satisfaction how “corporate” executed?
2. If it really is an ineffective policy It’s never too late to admit your mistake and pivot. If you aren’t doing that, then what is this besides lip service?

I don’t know if this is really the case but it comes across a little as “ah shucks sorry we didn’t do so great with all that… oh well too late now, bygones and whatnot, get back to work.” You aren’t absolved lol every day the policy continues its an endorsement that its what you continue to want

The real prions were the cognito hazards we fell into along the way

It’s possible to both think those companies should be regulated and that people are doing almost nothing personally to help, including electing people to enact those policies. For most people I talk to the “but 100 corps” is a total deflection of personal responsibility. This crisis will not be solved without a good heaping helping of both personal responsibility and aggressive government regulation. If nothing else because that aggressive regulation will never pass into law unless people acknowledge their personal responsibility and are willing to accept the sacrifices that will come with it.
