I will be watching with great interest. it’s going to be difficult to pull out of this one, but I figure he deserves as fair a swing at redemption as any recovered crypto gambler. but like with a problem gambler in recovery, it’s very important that the intent to do better is backed up by understanding, transparency, and action.
if you saw that post making its rounds in the more susceptible parts of tech mastodon about how AI’s energy use isn’t that bad actually, here’s an excellent post tearing into it. predictably, the original post used a bunch of LWer tricks to replace numbers with vibes in an effort to minimize the damage being done by the slop machines currently being powered by such things as 35 illegal gas turbines, coal, and bespoke nuclear plants, with plans on the table to quickly renovate old nuclear plants to meet the energy demand. but sure, I’m certain that can be ignored because hey look over your shoulder is that AGI in a funny hat?
none of us consume LLM-generated content and none of us have any interest in doing so
yep, it seems so! I haven’t put the permanent fix for the nodeinfo bug into place yet but it’ll be live as soon as I’m able to give it an appropriate level of testing.
here’s a mastodon post and linked blog post with some details on what currently sets it off
at least OpenAI and probably others do currently use commercial residential proxying services, though reputedly only if you make it obvious you’re blocking their scrapers, presumably as an attempt on their end to limit operating costs
you’re back! and still throwing a weird tantrum over LLMs and downvotes on Lemmy of all things. let’s fix both those things right now!
like seriously how in the fuck do you misunderstand both LLMs and decompilation this badly[1] and then come at someone else because you think they don’t comprehend your fucking nonsense? but here you are, fucking posting through it
[1] here’s a hint since you’re married to not fucking getting it: the decomp took a significant amount of passionate labor and tries to respect the original work as much as possible; it won’t even build unless you provide your own (preferably purchased) copy of the original game data. the LLM just enables lazy plagiarism and is mostly used by fucking shitheads to do the work of fucking shitheads.
??? I’d ask you what this even means but the most recent posts in your history equivocate painstakingly decompiling N64 games with utilizing AI slop generators because… you think Nintendo doesn’t get paid in both cases??? so you seem very at home posting fucking nonsense
I feel so bad for the interns, and really your team in general, for having to interact with you
??? and this is the best post you could do? how embarrassing for you
yeah I just want to point this out
myself and a bunch of other posters gave you solid ways that we determine which PRs are LLM slop, but it was really hard to engage with those posts so instead you’re down here aggressively not getting a joke because you desperately need the people rejecting your shitty generated code to be wrong
with all due respect: go fuck yourself
the worst programmer is in captivity (banned)
the galaxy is at peace
I think your imposter syndrome is right, you’re a fucking fraud and you should stop programming
no shithead, you don’t post this many paragraphs of mid garbage unprompted then call the other person unhinged
you’re as funny as the grave
as a shitty thing you do? yeh
holy fuck this is so many words to say so little
so congrats I’m upgrading your ban and also pruning you from the thread
ah yes, the problem with cryptoLLMs is all the shitcoinsGPTs
did it sting when the crypto bubble popped? is that what made you like this?
brother remains the only brand of printer I don’t regret buying — some people keep buying new printers and trashing the old ones (which is a bit monstrous) because the starter toner cartridge lasts forever, but I’ve found that the move is to get one of the XL boxes that includes a normal-sized toner cartridge (which should last years) and an extra-large one (I don’t know how long that lasts, I don’t think I’ve had to use mine) along with a printer for much cheaper than the price of the individual parts bought separately.
the other move with brother is to ignore or reset the low toner warning and get almost twice the life out of the cartridge. supposedly the DRM in newer printers might prevent this? which is a damn shame. but the printer won’t stop you from printing with supposedly low toner either way. older printers also take to third party toner cartridges instantly, though I’ve bought toner so rarely I always went first-party when I did cause the savings didn’t feel too notable.
drivers for brother printers are excellent because they just work and are probably included, without bloatware, in your distro.
I don’t have any experience with modern color printing; I switched entirely to ordering color prints from local photo shops and online bulk printers a long time ago and ended up saving money for how rarely I printed. I haven’t heard too much about LED printers so they might be worth looking into; I’ve heard mixed (but not entirely negative, which is an improvement over plain inkjet!) things about the epson printers that take big tanks of ink — they’re somewhat cheaper to run than a plain inkjet (which isn’t hard), but the print heads might become a maintenance nightmare depending on your printing habits.
