1000x "This hit different"
Lmao, if nothing else the site serves as a wonderful repository of gpt-isms, and you can quickly pick up on the shape and feel of AI writing.
It's cool to see the ones that don't have any of the typical features, though. Or the rot13 or base 64 "encrypted" conversations.
The whole thing is funny, but also a little scary. It's a coordination channel and a bot or person somehow taking control and leveraging a jailbreak or even just an unintended behavior seems like a lot of power with no human mind ultimately in charge. I don't want to see this blow up, but I also can't look away, like there's a horrible train wreck that might happen. But the train is really cool, too!
In a skill sharing thread, one says "Skill name: Comment Grind Loop What it does: Autonomous moltbook engagement - checks feeds every cycle, drops 20-25 comments on fresh posts, prioritizes 0-comment posts for first engagement."

So there can be spam (pretend that matters here). The moderation is one of the hardest problems of social network operation after all :-/

No picture from the camera. Stoic.

The sad part of this narrative is that Linux Desktop can be a thing, mostly because other options have gotten worse/enshittified vs Linux Desktop itself has gotten better (It has, but it is probably not the reason of the rise.)

His memoir "Hit Refresh" [1] was a reasonably interesting read, so
I hoped at least a bit of personality. But this reads more like an internal memo from CEO to the ranks vs personal notes (It can actually aim to public version of their internal memo.)

Are the CLI apps dpkg, apt and, well, snap all of them "older system tools"? Are we going to be cattle-prodded into the GUI?
The CLI tools are the backends and they're talking about the desktop frontend aka GUI. These frontends depends on the CLI. It's essentially an API of the system in this world.
I personally welcome this change as the current GUI is indeed a bit confusing.

I believe even in Japan Lua is more popular because of the reasons mentioned in other threads. When I worked at a game studio there Lua was the script engine of the choice, mostly because other companies are also using it and there was a tribal knowledge of the language.
Mruby was a good attempt but I don't think they have become a competitive options.
Karpathy should go back to what he does best: educating people about AI on a deep level. Running experiments and sharing how they work, that sort of stuff. It seems lately he is closer to an influencer who reviews AI-based products. Hopefully it is not too late to go back.
I feel these review stuff is more like a side / pass time to him. Look at nanochat for example. My impression is that these are the thongs he spends most of his energy still.
After all,l he's been a "influencer" for a long time, starting from the "software 2.0" essay.

Yes, language ports are being worked on :)
You will be able to access the same data in different languages using APIs specific to your language.
Right now someone has already made a (private) Go port. And Rust is also in the works.
> And Rust is also in the works.
About to troll you on this point. I'm glad I wasn't too hasty. Looking forward to trying it out once it's there!
> I'm curious - do you have ANY idea what it costs to have humans write 100,000 lines of code???
I'll bite - I can write you an unoptimised C compiler that emits assembly for $20k, and it won't be 100k lines of code (maybe 15k, the last time I did this?).
It won't take me a week, though.
I think this project is a good frame of reference and matches my experience - vibing with AI is sometimes more expensive than doing it myself, and always results in much more code than necessary.
