rsyslog goes "AI first", for what reason? no one knows.

Opening ipython greeted me with this: "Tip: IPython 9.0+ has hooks to integrate AI/LLM completions."

I wish open source projects would stop doing this.

Thanks for the work you do on Newgrounds! This sentence stuck out to me

No more worrying about lack of content or fickle UGC creators

Oh they're just publically advertising their company to be anti-union. Bold.

Was checking out the QOI image format and the politics of the dev and found that he is pretty comfortable around the ladybird people. (sigh) Also the r slur on twitter.

Really amazing that such a simple format achieves PNG sizes and faster encoding speeds. 1-page specification, though it's more like 2 with a bit bigger text, for bragging rights.

That is the kind of writing that absolutely anyone can get a thing out of. Will cause me to introspect.

I misinterpreted this reply as the guy in the post being hired as a police officer. Thank god.

Yet another LLM guy claiming it solved a problem when in fact it was already solved, with it being told almost exactly where and what to look for. Cold reading for use-after-frees.

Now I'm wondering if an infinite sequence of nested LLMs could achieve AGI. Probably not.

So "unintentional moderates" are those that both choose deliberately to believe in centrist political ideology and to participate in groupthink?

The Wikibooks book on statistics is surprisingly decent. Hopefully it inspires the reader to acknowledge that there are a lot more things to study apart from Bayes.
