A photo of an open instruction booklet for the game Tetris on a wooden surface. The page displays a diagram of the seven Tetris blocks with their official names listed next to them. The names are: "Orange Ricky" (L-shape), "Blue Ricky" (reverse L-shape), "Cleveland Z" (Z-shape), "Rhode Island Z" (S-shape), "Hero" (straight line), "Teewee" (T-shape), and "Smashboy" (square). Below the image is a caption that reads: "Someone out there on the internet found the original booklet that came with the original Nintendo system version of 'Tetris' and, hold on to your hats people, the blocks have names. THE BLOCKS HAVE NAMES!"

Hey, folks. I hate doing this, but my family and I need help with money for food & gas. This is unfortunately going to be a regular request until I can get a new job. (See my pinned posts for my resume.)

We average about $35/day for food (2 adults, 2 kids) and $10/day for gas, if we are being cheap. Dog food is $22/week. So we need around $335-$340 to make it through the week, making sure everyone is fed and gets to school. Any help, however small, is deeply appreciated.

Please boost for reach! And remember, you can unboost and boost again to keep it visible.

Week of Feb 6:
Progress: $0/$340 (food/gas)

I just wanted to add: Thank you, to the community, for keeping us fed in this difficult time.

If you happen to have paid odd jobs that can be done remotely, I'd be happy to take them on. Please DM me with details. I'm skilled with automation and machine learning.

The obsession with having zero privacy, and everything open on the social web is bizarre.

We're headed to a zero-privacy web.

Local-only posts are good, actually. Especially for marginalized groups, but also just as a standard for "decentralized" ecosystems.

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.
