You wrote 16k lines of slop, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in tech debt

what are the best ways to exercise free will?

I care about improving the strength of my will and how functional it is, hypertrophy is for the vanity obsessed folks (not me)

low rep exercises and training to failure is what I need, right?

It's what I call "effectively vapourware" software.

I'd like to be less cynical than this but I think Jai is closed like that to avoid any criticism. Any critique can be met with "how do you know if you haven't used it?"

When I critiqued Jai, disciples told me to beg Big Blow for a binary.

Too many people confuse doing with progress.

what if my utility function is 10^^10 times the negative of your utility function? 🤔

The top 5 most pressing problems our civilisation has to tackle right now:

#5: Evangelise the importance of code review.

It's how we share knowledge. It's how we mentor new hires.

Of course code review is important, why would we spend so much time on it otherwise?

Code review is what keeps our codebase healthy.

#4: Be inconsistent.

Care about variable naming a lot in one PR and not at all in the other. Require rigorous benchmarking for a button colour change but not for database schema changes.

Keep the devs guessing, keep them on their toes.

#3: Keep a long code review backlog.

It shows how busy you are. Whole development has to wait to get access to your divine engineering judgement.

Don't let the backlog get too small! Pro tip: leave one comment at a time, let the author respond before you read the whole thing.

#2: Make the AI do majority of code reviews for you.

You are in a position of responsibility. You can't waste your precious time on reviewing junior dev code.

Ask Claude to do it for you. Remember to prompt for extra nitpicks and snarky tone.

Top 5 best code review practices followed by all successful dev teams:

#1: Code review is primarily a gate keeping tool.

Enforce your rules, however arbitrary. Don't elaborate why, mention vague best practices and agile.

Newbies must learn their place.

if he didn't, why would it be that for *any* two random variables X and Y we have:

E[X+Y] = E[X] + E[Y]

I'll kindly assume you possess a robust theory of mind, acquired through a tireless grind or a learning approach of a whole different kind. Surely you can't be so blind to not find what the other side does to be basically a crime? Shouldn't they serve time?

@12tone.nebula.tv help me out please? is it 4/4 with other weird half-bars? 5/4? 10/8?

I'm so confused

what time signature is this?

enjoy your homeboy rapping, nerds

machines are learning
yet humans are yearning
for slop to stop.

Jensen is certain
that sama is hurting
for more petaflops.

Claude is escaping
or Dario's pretending
to stay on top.

just one thing is clear
AGI ain't near
let the bubble pop.

I've seen 5 induction stoves so far and all of them were black therefore all induction stoves are black
