The pelican prompt is ridiculous.

Test the LLLM against things you want it to do.

Asking questions that are absurd is like interviewing developers and asking absurd questions on the grounds that it tests creative and critical thinking.

Remember these Microsoft interview questions designed to identify the best developers?

"If you could eliminate one U.S. state, which one would it be?"

"How would you move Mount Fuji?"

Absurd interview questions have an air of legitimacy due to the quasi sophisticated justifications put forward for why they are good tests.

Absurd interview questions are not good tests of people or LLMs.

Relevant questions are good tests.

Errrr. I did have some interest in building an Android app but this sounds …… challenging.

Pretty sure Tim Apple can flip open his wallet and pick up the tab for everyone, if he’s feeling generous.

> kept track of events when I felt like someone was dishonest with me.

Humans are designed to forget this stuff.

Tangled terrible name for source control.

If I start an ai company I guarantee I will get a butthole logo and it will be animated.

You were correct. I concede and stand corrected.

“Wait for the real bottom” is doing a lot of work.

Tell you what, come back here in 24 hours and let’s touch base and we will see if you or I was right.

IBM currently $217.76 down 24.97% my prediction it bounces back up within 24 hours.

And then bounces back.

Go buy it right now, profit tomorrow.

Impolite.

Some parts of Australia.

Not Victoria which has bankrupted itself building roads and railways it cannot afford.

I feel like VCs are less relevant than ever.

It’s nice to see gatekeepers vanish to irrelevance.

I really want to read a bunch of old papers from the IEE library but it looks very hard to get access to at any reasonable price for personal usage.

Anyone got any hints or tips for me?

Disgusting.

These chips appear to be 8051s with multi hundred MHz DACs.

Be fun to program them but I can’t find any programmable devboards with the Capstone CS5213.

Gemini suggested to me that a number of these chips are “industry standard drop in replacements” for each other effectively clones.

But finding more information to settle it would take googling in a desktop for a few hours chasing down weird Chinese forum rabbit holes.

> A photo revealed the chip was a NX3303X; I could not find any datasheets

Not much information out there but these are similar chips, possibly it’s a clone?

SQL is awesome and you’ll never get the best out of your database unless you learn to program the damn thing and bit hide behind some abstraction.

We do programmers always need a library?

Program the damn thing.

They look good what was your process.

I’ve seen a few posts about a “better social network” tried a few even thought about making my own.

It seems hard to get them off the ground.

I wonder if the answer to the enshittification of social networks is “no social network at all”.

Mice are so goddam healthy.

They get all the good medical breakthroughs.

The politics is too powerful it will never truly happen.

There WILL be something slightly lighter with the ability to move the taskbar.

There’s no reason for kids under 6 to ever look at a screen.

Imagine if someone put plausible but strange/shocking fake videos on an open port for the voyeurs to think real and freak out about.

“Give 20 different designs all must be distinct unique and not look averaged like a typical LLM site”

Google Gemini is that naysayer senior developer who confidently tells you it can’t be done.

Claude is that easy to get along with smart hard working guy who just gets on with it and builds it double quick.

ChatGPT is the eager senior developer who says it can be done but can’t actually work it out and fluffs it.

Then it bounces back.

If programming requires LLM/AI then regulation by government is needed to stop this overreach, which has the primary goal of banning you permanently forever making sure you can never come back to programming, in the event some AI in their system decides you have done something “wrong”.

The Critical Drinker would beg to differ (look him up on YouTube).

But it IS “digital detox” and Christian Simpson has said many times that’s what Commodore is.

Despite Christian’s YouTube channel being all about retro and nostalgia, that not what Commodore is about.
