That’s some wildly disingenuous goal post moving

check their recent post history. it’s all old school, Ayn Rand, bro you don’t even watch Bullshit?, internet libertarian takes and it’s fucking delicious, like eating a Big Mac straight from the time capsule where someone buried it

oh shit, it’s the only capitalist on lemmy and they’re in this thread! I’ve been waiting so long to tell you this:

go fuck yourself

e: holy fuck that post history, what did the objectivists do to you?

Can someone explain why I am being downvoted and attacked in this thread? I swear I am not sealioning. Genuinely confused.

my god! let me fix that

if only I splurged on awfulsystems dotcom, I could’ve been one of the big boys

[–] self@awful.systems 30 points 6 months ago (7 children)

The dotcom bubble didn’t rid us of dotcoms.

wait… is your definition of dotcom any corporation that owns a .com TLD domain? that’s so fucking precious, I love it

both those are related to information theory, but there are other things I legally can’t mention. shrug.

hahahaha fuck off with this. no, the horseshit you’re fetishizing doesn’t fix LLMs. here’s what quantization gets you:

  • the LLM runs on shittier hardware
  • the LLM works worse too
  • that last one’s kinda bad when the technology already works like shit

anyway speaking of basic information theory:

but the research showing that 3 bits is as good as 64 is intuitive once you tie the original inspiration for some of the AI designs.

lol

the fruit can’t be rotten, you must be picking it wrong

[–] self@awful.systems 15 points 6 months ago

it’s weird you pretend to be an anti-corporate leftist but when convenient post shit like:

All of the top tech companies now were once spending cash faster than they could make it, and all the naysayers saying they’d never be profitable.

“the only thing I hate more than neolibs and Peter thiel is when a bunch of thiel’s friends get credibly accused of running a massive grift” haha sure

it was really hard to read the article when my hands wouldn’t stop making the wanker motion every time this fuckhead decided to whinge about yet another not-problem they’re having. money poisoning’s a fuck of a thing, isn’t it?

anyway I don’t think this is a parody or if it is they’re incredibly dedicated to the bit

Within 2 minutes of talking to the final interviewer for DOGE, he asked me if I wanted to join. I said “yes”. Then he said “cool” and I was in multiple Signal groups.

I’m kinda amazed it’s not multiple Telegram groups, but not at all surprised DOGE is ramshackle enough that this is what passes for organization. it goes to show why they’d hire someone who’d just come hot off of losing interest in robotics after 2 weeks of barely trying and also almost killed themselves doing rich kid vanity hiking, who would then quit their surely extremely important position at DOGE after about a month

If this means I’ll never do something as spectacular as Loom, so be it.

wait, I know that name. loom is just a video and screen recorder with unnecessary social networking and AI features that I’m pretty sure charges a lot for a subscription. loom is fucking Unregistered Hypercam 2 for Workgroups. that’s the product this kid is wanking about? that’s the fucking height of human achievement? fuck you

the CS experts on the orange site and LW: “how can there be a halting problem when I refuse to ever stop?”

Why is there no proper text editor like on other systems - oh, right, M$ wants to sell office 365 subs! "Well, you can download-", yeah, sure let's have grandma go to Huckter Joe's Totally Not Trojans inc. JUST TO EDIT TEXT! IN FUCKING 2025!

it really is weird how much proprietary OSes gatekeep basic-ass good text editing, and how absolutely nothing mainstream includes even basic developer tooling anymore. there’s a big, unnecessary moat around development and I don’t like it.

[–] self@awful.systems 1 points 6 months ago

who the fuck is “we”? you’re some asshole who bought the critihype so hard you think that when the chatbot does dumb computer shit that only proves it’s more human and more dangerous. you’re not in on this grift, you’re a mark.
