plan9 on riscv(or sparc or subleq or whatever) is also truly what I want for the future. It obviously won’t be what happens(most likely linux will stay, maybe one of the less slopped bsds will take over) but please gods please

plan 9 on riscv

why do they keep calling it *genics, as if everyone doesn’t immediately understand what you mean

so really it’s just a very effective LLM chain email

yea you just don’t have enough experience, I do bath salts every week and I promise you productivity gets a huge boost after week 5

the night circus is one of my favourite books of all time ever, very much recommend. If you like that the magicians by Lev Grossman feels very similar in a way I cannot put my finger on, though it does not really fit into this list.

I will defend this point(not any of the other ones tho)

Science is inherently bound to our culture in what we value, how we believe truth is produced, what we do and do not accept as valid criteria for classification.

taxonomic classification is useful, but relative to the culture that produced it, which is in large part dominated by “white” culture. A different cultural group might split along different lines.

evola, peterson, rothbard and moldbug on the reading list sure is something

also who the fuck is “bronze age pervert”

e: right, life was slightly better before I looked that up

anyone got any recommendations for an alternative vpn?

They’re fucking awful. I clicked through the xitter thread to someone with a milady pfp and they seemed to be shilling a crypto trading/sports betting platform called ourbit, which gave me a bit of a shock. I haven’t dug deep into it because I am currently hiking in Estonia, so it might have no significance whatsoever, but I think remilia is somewhat connected to urbit so there might be a connection there

e: typo

I looked at their online congregation(because there are no chapters in my country unfortunately) and they seem to be doing a lot of work on prison abolition and making prisoners’ lives more bearable. I might actually try joining them, and I will at least join a few of their meetings and such.

I just today stumbled upon maia arson crimew’s writeup on a tiktok account named based<r-slur>gang and their connection to remilia. and I just… what? What the fuck is remilia. I thought they were a weird nft company for dimes square losers. anyway this post has most likely been posted to a sneerclub before but I wanted to post it anyway because what the fuck

OT: Finally had to break with a long-time friend after he started sliding more and more into fascism. Feeling quite overwhelmed and emotionally exhausted right now.

It feels like someone being overwhelmed/exhausted to the point of saying “fuck it, I don’t care anymore” and afterwards rationalising the use of LLMs as the only way they can keep up, while simultaneously falling for it’s addiction. It does demonstrate why relying on one-man projects without chipping in is risky. Unfortunately the companies that rely on it are probably also captured by the bubble so they won’t think so.

I think the openbsd reimplementation is as of yet untouched at least, so that is an option

I don’t think a lot of strangers on the internet are going to convince you. If you actually want to change your view it seems more productive to me to seek out information about LLMs* (it’s functioning, the people currently behind it, how large models actually get powered, etc.) on your own than to argue endlessly with people here.

*preferably without using one

I’ll see when these hashes materialise, until then I have to assume LLM companies are lying always about everything.

See, the problem is that I am not talking about human researchers, I am talking about other methods of automated fuzzing. I believe mozilla is overstating how useful the LLM has actually been. This has many reasons, one of them being that their main source of income is trying to become an LLM company. If that project fails said company might have to make some unfortunate cuts.

The problem is that I do not believe a word that anthropic says. They say this is only 1%, but do they have any proof to back it up? I am also sceptical of the claim that it can “look at the entire repo and how it all works together”. It can produce an approximation which could give it an advantage over more traditional fuzzers, but most reported bugs are still very local(and/or non-existant) and easily ruled out if it could actually model the naur theory behind the code.

The problem is that not “many actors” are able to attack at this scale, because running a scan at this scale is extremely expensive. If I were to run a thousand fuzzers on a piece of code I will almost certainly find a vulnerability, but I can’t do that because of the prohibitive cost. Anthropic is essentially buying marketing by doing this to make their product seem more useful than it is.

It’s really not. Out of the 23 000 something vulnerabilities claude claims to have discovered in open-source projects only 3-500 have been reported to repo owners, only 65 have been confirmed and given any rating at all. This is not any more efficient than any other form of fuzzing, they just did a whole lot of it.
