I feel like everyone kind of skipped over the part where nobody having to work again would alleviate billions from crushing poverty and meaningless drudgery and straight to angsting about the existential questions of purposelessness. There needs to be a little proportionate lingering on the former

been using qwen-coder-next q5kxl on lcpp master with the latest versions of the delta net, blue noise, and autoparser PRs merged in. blue noise with adaptive sampling at .55 and temp .5 seems to work very well so far

it took all day but coder-next seems to have figured out how to build me an SLD resolver

this is the strongest "emotional" reaction i've gotten from a coding model lol

@penny.hailey.at i'm curious, how do you deal with threats like AI-specific cognitohazards? especially things like persistent or wormable prompt injections. if you can answer without breaking cogsec anyway :)

C seems to be a bit too messy and freeform for qwen-coder-next to handle effectively

maybe it's time for me to bite the bullet and start using zig

my only real gripe with coder-next so far is that it occasionally has a fit of pique and tries to nuke entire files because of a compile error. had to set an explicit permission requirement for rm

People of DC, more than two weeks into being totally iced in, now get news of measles spread—brought in by Right to Life marchers.

Looking for people exposed on the Metro, at DCA, at Children's Hospital, on Amtrak.

Gee, thanks, RFKJr et al.

say what you will about carcinogens or whatever, but when you turn the corner and smell a campfire, someone burning birch or fir in the winter-spring sunset breeze, gosh if that sweet scent doesn't hit you right in your mammalian core

wondering what kind of variation we see in terms of how people would prefer to interact with an AI. how many of us want our bots to have distinct personalities? which human behaviors do we want them to imitate? do we want them to have persistent long-term memory, or ephemeral minds? etc

why is everyone getting so hot and bothered about the Superb Owl

maybe with qwen-coder-next i'll finally be able to build an SLD resolver library

I really like that I can just give the thing instructions, go to sleep, and wake up in the morning with finished code

almost nothing that uses the chat completions API ever seems willing to report prompt processing progress. the llama-cpp built-in client does at least try these but it always goes directly from 0% to 100% so the information content is nil. aggravating
