I'm not using OnlyFans but this is tempting!😆

"The RMBL Marmot Project announced that "the state of funding is so bad we are turning to OnlyFans, or as we like to call it 'OnlyMarms'."

"[It's] almost all G-rated content of marmots playing, being cute, digging, bringing plants to their burrows…normal routine stuff for marmots."
"The occasional scuffle makes it PG rated."

do you want to know how to prove something and be able to believe it?

you... come up with the proof and then formalise it, ensuring you correctly translate every minute detail.

and then you get a pile of people to check it just to be sure you didn't cock up.

i would also remind you that several times, people have claimed AI has proven the riemann hypothesis. and yet nobody yet accepts that the riemann hypothesis has been proven.

as they shouldn't.

making a program compile does not mean it's correct. any bozo can write hello world and claim it's a proof of the riemann hypothesis.

did... did terry tao just equate having a lean program that nobody has checked as proof of a conjecture?

@NfNitLoop what kind of router and software do you use? I've been lazily thinking for a while about replacing my basic router/modem with something more capable, but I don't know what options are there.

It is both hilarious and inevitable that the AI bros are kicking off about the #Codeberg membership voting by supermajority against #LLM contributions and vibe coding.

The social context of the modern "AI" movement is based around a fascist idea that "might means right", and that we plebs can't stand up to the force of the TESCREAL billionaire class. And some people really get on board with that, perhaps thinking that they can curry favour with the billionaires who don't even know they exist. So even as small and insignificant a resistance as a tiny German non-profit saying "no" is unconscionable to them.

This is why my inbox has been filled with screeds and rants and bad-faith arguments for the last few days and I've been laughing at them and deleting them.

I wonder if one of my personal resistances to using an LLM is that I have *never* in my life wanted to boss somebody around or micromanage how they go about doing things.[1] I want peer collaborators, not powerless underlings.

[1] Unless I'm training somebody, but even then, it's more like, "This is how we do things, and why, but you know we can change if you have ideas." But if it's about safety, I'm much more, "Do *not* fuck around here!" But that's because I care about you and do not want to see you get hurt.

It's a short metroidvania (it's not one or the other~~it's both!) made largely by my sister, and as mentioned in the thread above, I put together a sweet set of punchy sound effects for it and I'm really proud of what we built together in just a few days! The sound effects were made with #mollytime.

we very gently encouraged cars to not hit the cyclists in the “shared bicycle and car lanes” we made by painting extra shit onto the road and nobody paid attention

well we’re out of ideas, here’s a 10,000 word paper on how the bicyclists who got hit by cars deserved it
