reminder that anthropic ran (and is still running) an ENTIRE AD CAMPAIGN around "Claude code is written with claude code" and after the source was leaked that has got to be the funniest self-own in the history of advertising because OH BOY IT SHOWS.
it's hard to get across in microblogging format just how big of a dumpster fire this thing is, because what it "looks like" is "everything is done a dozen times in a dozen different ways, and everything is just sort of jammed in anywhere. to the degree there is any kind of coherent structure like 'tools' and 'agents' and whatnot, it's entirely undercut by how the entire rest of the code might have written in some special condition that completely changes how any such thing might work." I have read a lot of unrefined, straight from the LLM code, and Claude code is a masterclass in exactly what you get when you do that - an incomprehensible mess.
Oh and with today's 6 month checkup I'm officially discharged from St Vincent's Neurosurgery team. Woot. Given the severe traumatic brain injury and all the "could have died", everyone is pretty happy with the outcome.
Don't think I mentioned it here yet, but I guess the truck is unloaded so that's close enough - I'm back living in Melbourne again, with my partner and our awesome little 4 year old. Hi.
Not quite sure why anyone would still trust the NYT, but after the most recent stuff re Epstein and their failures to report? Let it die.
And look Baudrillard again
I'm fucken certain that I don't want to manage user accounts to help with this effort which means looking into how Wikipedia does this
A political donation is an entity, as are the source and target of them. Those can be linked. A news article explaining the donation, a new entity, more links.
I'm doing a side project to enable folks to instrument and explain political donations. Quite fun, but it has led me to a point where I'm reading philosophers.
"Prime Minister, you continue to post to a site that is full of spam, Nazis and CSAM. The owner of the site *personally* intervened to remove a ban on someone who posted a screenshot from absurdly vile child abuse material. Why the FUCK should anyone give any weight to a goddam thing you think about any of this, given you personally can't keep yourself/your staff away from these sewers."
Every time any fucking Australian MP takes questions about the new social media ban the first fucking question should include "and yet you continue to post to X, why on earth should anyone care about your opinion on any of this". These fucks can't step away from their Nazi Bar, because they're pathetic junkies. I trust that my 4 year old won't visit the internet sewers these fucks love.
