zig is C with approximately everything it should have had, imo. The only thing that kind of sucks is that it’s not 1.0 yet and big breaking changes do happen. The most recent one was a complete overhaul of the writer interface in 0.15.1.

this is very fashtech coded, happy to be proven wrong though.

LOL

I think we already lost the plot when we started relying on a centralized entity (Google) to “index the world’s information and make it useful”. Ad-tech already fucked up all of the incentives, making recipe sites fill their pages with bullshit in hopes of wiping my eyeballs with messages from third parties hungry for attention. I fucking hate this world.

I don’t doubt you could effectively automate script kiddie attacks with Claude code. That’s what the diagram they have seems to show.

The whole bit about “oh no, the user said weird things and bypassed our imaginary guard rails” is another admission that “AI safety” is a complete joke.

We advise security teams to experiment with applying AI for defense in areas like Security Operations Center automation, threat detection, vulnerability assessment, and incident response.

there it is.

Does this article imply that Anthropic is monitoring everyone’s Claude code usage to see if they’re doing naughty things? Other agents and models exist so whatever safety bullshit they have is pure theater.

First comment: “the world is bottlenecked by people who just don’t get the simple and obvious fact that we should sort everyone by IQ and decide their future with it”

No, the world is bottlenecked by idiots who treat everything as an optimization problem.

wait this isn’t a joke this is a yc funded startup

Ugh. Hank Green just posted a 1-hour interview with Nate Soares about That Book. I’m halfway through on 2x speed and so far zero skepticism of That Book’s ridiculous premises. I know it’s not his field but I still expected a bit more from Hank.

A YouTube comment says it better than I could:

Yudkowsky and his ilk are cranks.

I can understand being concerned about the problems with the technology that exist now, but hyper-fixating on an unfalsifiable existential threat is stupid as it often obfuscates from the real problems that exist and are harming people now.

Nothing screams “celebration of creativity” like a nice heaping tablespoon of AI slop images.

Foxboron (arch maintainer dude) seems pretty good about rejecting fascism, he’s in the framework thread linked from the post above expressing discontent.

I just wanted to lob a sneer at this article fawning over Sora 2: https://spyglass.org/soras-slop-hits-different/

And again, a lot of this stuff — slop or not — is funny. Really, truly funny. Sora is scaling comedy in a way that we’ve never seen.

did this motherfucker just try to say “scaling comedy”? If you ever wondered why techbros are so unfunny, here’s something to point at.

ask me about Urbit, I have so many notes

Has anything interesting happened since Yarvis Curtin took the reigns of Tlon?

So this looks and sounds 100% AI generated, but

Possible performance idea: A “kata of doubt,” mixing martial arts stances with expressions of deep confusion.

might be the first time AI slop made me laugh (not out loud, but still)

getting 10:1 ratioed by my own profile picture would probably make me leave civilization and become an ascetic

holy fuck

Interesting study, but I am skeptical that this result applies to the general population (without the “convicted” qualifier).

If non-whites are more violently criminal than whites, then we can expect them to be imprisoned earlier in life for any violent crime, of which pedophilia will be a small subset.

So we have more convicted white paedos because … the coloreds do more crimes??! what in the actual fuck did I just read?

“safe for work” means something very different when your work is basically smell-testing your own flatulence at the behest of Peter Thiel.

as a wannabe science/mathtist I totally feel the pain of realizing that I will probably never have any good, original ideas unless I actually dedicate my life to studying the works of people that actually had good, original ideas.

In these people, I see a version of me that didn’t tell myself that all my stupid theories of the universe and consciousness are total unfalsifiable wastes of time. It’s a type of “high-iq” psychosis.

Holy FUCKING shit this cannot be real. No. He could not have written this.

My estimation of SBF as a wretch just fuckin plummeted.

It’s impossible to stop returning to that steaming pile of dogshit post and find something new to sneer at:

As Delicious Tacos aptly put it, a Far Left phase is treated like a woman eating pussy in college, while a Far Right phase is treated like a man sucking cock.

SO? WHATS THE FUCKING DIFFERENCE YOU WASTE OF SPACE?

More like “People want things and hurt if they don’t get them. Also, look at me saying things like utility function! Function is math! Math is smart. I am smart! Isn’t that so cool?”
