Sometimes, people on Facebook don't know the Fediverse exists.
The European Commission likes to tell them. 💜 😉

inspired by CLAUDE.md, I’ve started putting markdown files named after coworkers into work code repos so I can remind them to stop doing shit to the codebase that annoys me

for some reason they’re all mad at me now, which means ill be adding commands to JEREMY.md for an attitude adjustment

Just saw this in the wild again.

@veloren has about 330,000 lines of Rust code today. It's a networked, multi-threaded, 3D, portable game and game engine played by thousands of people. Very much not a contrived example. Name any sort of code and you'll find it in there: GUI, packet parsing, physics, DSP, decision trees, database calls, ECS, procgen, audio. It's all in there.

It has 12 instances of `unsafe`:

To spell this out clearly, the reason RAM has quadrupled in price is that a huge quantity of RAM that hasn't been produced yet has been bought with money that doesn't exist to populate GPUs that also haven't been produced to go in datacenters that haven't been built powered by infrastructure that may never exist to meet a demand that doesn't exist at all to make profit margins that mathematically can't exist while economists talk about this thing they call the "rational markets hypothesis".

We should ALL leave #github and move to self-hosted if possible or great projects like @Codeberg - I wish #rustlang crates io would support it so I could finally make the switch...

Last week in a seminar we discussed a text that was largely about sexual violence, including mass rape during war. Heavy stuff.

One student admitted they had not read the text but worked off a ChatGPT summary.

They had no idea the text was about sexual violence. ChatGPT withheld that information.

This wasn’t just a minor error nor a typical LLM hallucination.

About a third of the text, arguably its most important part, went completely ignored because it didn’t match OpenAI’s content policies
