Being on Team Words Mean Things is difficult these days, particularly when multibillion-dollar companies put out breathless press releases saying "By using our massive language model, whose training data includes every version of GCC ever released, and having it autocorrect its own output by testing it against GCC, we managed to make a C compiler that mostly works for only $20,000 in a week and gosh I have so many feelings."

I mean, what the fuck are we even doing here.

https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/building-c-compiler

The fix was to use GCC as an online known-good compiler oracle to compare against. I wrote a new test harness that randomly compiled most of the kernel using GCC, and only the remaining files with Claude's C Compiler. If the kernel worked, then the problem wasn’t in Claude’s subset of the files. If it broke, then it could further refine by re-compiling some of these files with GCC. This let each agent work in parallel, fixing different bugs in different files, until Claude's compiler could eventually compile all files. (After this worked, it was still necessary to apply delta debugging techniques to find pairs of files that failed together but worked independently.)

Great news everyone thanks to my significant advances in modern algorithmic analysis I am personally able to outperform a warehouse full of specialized GPUs by five orders of magnitude with a single ARM core for one one-millionth the cost in 0.1% of the time by training the "cp" command on only the GCC source and then compiling the output of that program with GCC.

The resulting compiler - which I'm calling "mhoyecc", or as I've taken to calling it, mhoye plus cc, passes 100% of GCC's tests.

This is my favorite sweatshirt. I bought it back in 2016. That last three years I wasn’t able to fit into it. It turns out, that gained weight was bad for my health. Today, I fit into my fav sweatshirt. It’s a small win but I feel good.

Me in a gray sweatshirt and fatigue shorts. I'm giving the peace sign. I'm happy

amateur radio operators the world over use "Q-signs", three letter groupings starting with a Q, to say common things ("QRZ" means "Who is calling me?", for example). these are left over from the days when most traffic was CW ("Morse Code"), with a nice rhythm to the leading Q. these "pro-signs" are also often used in RTTY & other digital modes as well as voice, for the sake of brevity.

NATO also uses a set of "Z-signs", my current favorite of which is:

@mcc Using Twitter as the first time that a lot of people experienced this, I have started pitching this idea as "if a petulant billionaire decides to destroy this project, how much would he need to pay?" Every point of centralization is now a massive vulnerability instead of a cost-cutting necessity, because you don't even need the petulant billionaire.

"Shiny Shiny" by Haysi Fantayzee. I despise it and everything about it and its only saving grace is that it is so obscure in the US I literally have never heard it (involuntarily) this side of 1985. It sounds like dank unwashed hippies smell.

(If for some reason you like it, I'm happy for you and want you to follow your bliss, it was an actual hit in the UK so someone must have liked it, some time in the past. Also, we can never be friends)
