@Edent I see no causal connection between my education and the energy use of that system 
@Edent How much energe did they use to collect the data and predict future energy usage?
@me One of my first Delphi apps was a fake "system is locked" window with a password prompt -- to steal a BIOS password or something like that.
Worked just fine with some "social engineering" on my mom 😅

New thing from the Zstd (and LZ4/xxhash) crowd: OpenZL. A dozen or so building blocks (shufflers, transposers, filters, compressors) that can be chained together. Can automatically build "best" config based on sample data; same decompressor can decompress any config. Nice! https://openzl.org/ (and whitepaper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.03203) #compression #openzl
@tristanC The types are sine qua non 
@marick It is even simpler than that: "Survival of the fit enough".
Whatever else is going on, you only need to meet the bar of being viable. No need to waste energy to reach the apex in all of the environments. You can put it to make a niche of your own instead. Or not, the evolution wouldn't judge.

@aras C++ proudly holds the crown of fastest-to-crash-language indeed.
@ericflo This.
Responses API are a bit cleaner and nicer to use. But everyone else is stuck on completions and we can't have nice things )=

@glyph I can cite precisely one NIST standard from memory, and this is it: “According to NIST SP 800-63b, section 5.1.1.2, we shouldn’t rotate passwords unless we expect they’ve been compromised.”
I busted that out on a call once and it stopped an entire argument. My CTO was also on the call and I saw him looking over at me, mouth agape.
@jedbrown @dpiponi This is true only for the specific setups of a model, training, and sampling. Unless you hit some idiosyncrasies the amount of follow-up questioning needed to distinguish understanding can be made arbitrary high. This method will "detect away" human understanding before the LLM-based system breaks.
@wilfredh Maybe we're just getting used to that. AutoTune in mass-music, compression artifacts in codecs and headphones...
@boilingsteam Made my heart miss a beat.
@nikitonsky No, it's okay. It works crappy too.
Expired: Ancestral simulations.
Transpired: Stakeholder simulations.

@reidrac I've been doing hours with Claude et al for about a year by now and not sure I can stand doing 100 hours more. I get physically sick from reading all that crap.
In that year I went from "nah, LLMs are useless" to "huh, they can do some JS for me", to "fucking christ on a stick! just leave my code alone ffs".
@drmakimber @BartoszMilewski Spiced with a "logarithm is just the number of zeroes" log-odds make quick takes rather easy.
@wilfredh This looks nice. But I love this border ---[ style ]--- in general (=
You may want to add a bit more padding-top so the code wouldn't touch the label on narrow screens like on the pic here. It's fine on the wider though.
@wilfredh On a border (=
But you'd have to play on it somehow.
Maybe it could be done in more ways, but rn the block design is almost locked down by the paper-and-shadow visual metaphor. Maybe you can find something more flexible so you can enjoy more decision freedom later.
