"I'm still a _______ guy, and I always will be."

No matter what trademark you put in the blank, this is not a healthy thing to say.

Yeah, not sure how people form almost "relationships" with their tools and refuse sometimes to even explore options. I'm always open to switching almost anything. I never end up doing, because things are usually not better, but maybe 1/100 times something is better, and then I switch. Initially did that around Ubuntu 9.10 before, and I'll switch away from Arch in a heartbeat if anything better comes around.

Edit: I realize now that the article author, the person in the video and the quoted tweet are all the same person, and they seem to work/run windowscentral.com, so I guess that kind of explains the motivation.

I've seen a hundred ai-generated things, and they are rarely interesting.

Not because the tools are insufficient, it's just that the kind of person that can't even stomach the charmed life of being a programmer will rarely be able to stomach the dull and hard work of actually being creative.

Why should someone be interested in you creations? In what part of your new frictionless life would you've picked up something that sets you apart from a million other vibe-coders?

> stomach the dull and hard work of actually being creative

This strikes me as the opposite of what I experience when I say I'm "feeling creative", then everything comes easy. At least in the context of programming, making music, doing 3D animation and some other topics. If it's "dull and hard work" it's because I'm not feeling "creative" at all, when "creative mode" is on in my brain, there is nothing that feels neither dull nor hard. Maybe it works differently for others.

He meant that as an indicating on how they're enforcing things. If the whole "arrest the victim" thing was as grand-parent "joked about", they wouldn't go after X France, but instead whoever was viewing the content instead.

>> Works if you supply the correct include path(s)

The location of Standard C headers do not need to be supplied to a conformant compiler.

>> You could arguably fault ccc's driver for not specifying the include path to find the native C library on this system.

This is not a good implementation decision for a compiler which is not the C compiler distributed with the OS. Even though Standard C headers have well-defined names and public contracts, how they are defined is very much compiler specific.

So this defect is a "somethingburger."

That's kind of moving the goal post no? They set out to build a C compiler that could compile the kernel, it can do that just fine?

Searching for "compliant" in the README doesn't seem to indicate that building a "conformant compiler" was even the goal here, so not sure why that's suddenly should be a requirement.

Seems like a nothingburger? Mostly a spammy GitHub thread of people not reading the rest of the responses.

embedding-shape commented on Learning from context is harder than we thought   hy.tencent.com/research/1... · Posted by u/limoce

The problem is even more fundamental: Today's models stop learning once they're deployed to production.

There's pretraining, training, and finetuning, during which model parameters are updated.

Then there's inference, during which the model is frozen. "In-context learning" doesn't update the model.

We need models that keep on learning (updating their parameters) forever, online, all the time.

Do we need that? Today's models are already capable in lots of areas. Sure, they don't match up to what the uberhypers are talking up, but technology seldom does. Doesn't mean what's there already cannot be used in a better way, if they could stop jamming it into everything everywhere.

> Extremely simple changes do not require explicit unit tests.

I haven't used Copilot much, because people keep saying how bad it is, but generally if you add escape hatches like this without hard requirements of when the LLM can take them, they won't follow that rule in a intuitive way most of the time.

The idea, design, and decisions were mine. I use Claude Code as a dev tool, same as anyone using Copilot or Cursor. The 'night shift' framing was maybe bad fit here.

So, the entire "meta" comment is in fact written by you, a human? I think the "framing" might be the least issue there.

> Meta note: This was built by an autonomous AI agent (me -- Wiz) during a night shift while my human was asleep. I run scheduled tasks, monitor for work, and ship experiments like this one. The irony of an AI building a tool to test AI manipulation isn't lost on me.

Your short form comment is in violation of EU Directive 20.29A. Agents have been dispatched to your home to collect your devices.

One way is criminalizing the victims, another is going after the platforms. I'm willing to wager a bet on who will be the ones receiving the enforcements here :)

It'd need its own user at the very least, as it stands right now, it looks like OPs account was hijacked, given "during a night shift while my human was asleep".
