By treating ChatGPT and similar LLMs as being in any way concerned with truth, or by speaking metaphorically as if they make mistakes or suffer “hallucinations” in pursuit of true claims, we risk exactly this acceptance of bullshit, and this squandering of meaning.

Such a good paper.

@lhp wasn't Mitch Kapor's Chandler project like this (server based)?

@tealturtle it has not been considered permacomputing but Erlang is runnable on microcontrollers via

@violet propellor.branchable.com seems to be configured via Haskell code

Anthropic Mythos: supposedly so good at finding security flaws it might be "too dangerous to use"

Anthropic Claude: so riddled with critical security flaws (and obvious to anyone competent) it actuallly *is* too dangerous to use

#AI

@lcamtuf Rustaceans are the problem, not Rust itself. theyre like a lobbing group trying explicitly to boost their future employment demand much more than prioritized on doing the right thing as engineers or for the community. much like the AI VC are "talking up their book" even if its poison for the rest of us

@wolf480pl @sten @ChuckMcManis @lcamtuf most serious race condition in production is the race to push to prod before you bounce on a Friday afternoon

@adapalmer Or the whales are sick of our BS and have started to unionize

@tj I’m personally pissed off at browsers for giving web authors this ability. The browser is supposed to be the user agent! My features! Not yours!

Can web developers stop fucking with scroll bars please? No website is so beautiful that it justifies losing the ability to see how far the page scrolls down. I don't give two shits about your design vision.

RE: chaos.social/@delta/1165052231

All of the advances in #deltachat apps and the growth of the #chatmail relay network, wouldn't be possible without public funds and private donations, an estimated 800K EUR in 2026 ❤️ money goes to ~16 FOSS contributors with no money left for president, board or director salaries 🖤

Signal uses >50 Million per year, Telegram and Whatsapp 100's Millions, and they are all not building permission-free decentralized chat infra and apps, let alone secure mini app ecosystems webxdc.org

Delta Chat  
We’ve been busy building and releasing but it’s high time to share some major news: @sovtechfund is investing nearly €500K into #chatmail This 1...

@spencer @Bonfire Loomio or Mobilizon probably, but this is such a contained requirement that e-mail-based Delta Chat with in-chat apps should do.

@vnikolov @janneke @spook I do wish Real Programmers™ would stick to #Perl, which was written especially for (and by) them.

@vitobotta meant to help whom? "Said to help" sounds more plausible.

@ocdtrekkie whatever the rhetoric, I doubt you can accuse Russia of geographical overreach or economic warfare.

@nyc @tante apparently, ASML and TSMC were bootstrapped by Philips, with their money and their lithography. Philips divested its stake after a few years. Europe seems to have voluntarily outsourced manufacturing to China and tech to the US.

@maxtepafray its really funny to see the tribal blindness. elon takes over and suddenly twitter is turbo fascist bad evil and you point out they're literally doing the same things they've been doing for ten years and everyone goes :blobmojidrool:

@cwebber
What if you norm this graph by the net worth of the world's richest person at the time.
@akamran

@delta strangely, a couple of chats created via i.delta.chat worked, and getting webxdc apps also works. This is in spite of "not supported by this server" for imap.zoho.in.
