@Moon@shitposter.club @PCOWandre@jauntygoat.net @thatguyoverthere@shitposter.club @DrewKadel@social.coop it can be that implementing something such kinda partitioned "self-reflection system" to self-edit is necessary step for effectively constructing and revising such abstraction, sure. questions on implementation details like that are where i think the next step has to be, not just "doing more of the same

@sun@shitposter.world @snacks@netzsphaere.xyz @idiot@shitposter.world @whiteline@shitposter.world students i knew definitely couldn't, brittle template generators barfing incomprehensible things and layers of "enterprise ide" preventing people even learning version control

ok, psu functioning now

next gotta add xdg-desktop-portal configs, since it's required to run anything gtk or qt now apparently

then figure alacritty nonresponsive bug. seems something to do with "IME is disabled in Vi mode on X11" probably

hi

new psu no post :c

> reading books is so profound because it denies you the ability to speak when confronted with an idea. you must listen. it isn't a conversation. sometimes it shouldn't be a conversation.

you can just email people. i read a book and emailed the author yesterday

@sun@shitposter.world @snacks@netzsphaere.xyz @idiot@shitposter.world @whiteline@shitposter.world yeh, this was like 2011. students were encountering java like this and graduating without ever learning anything in the 00s though was around bunch of teens teaching themselves, and "why does everything have to suck so much, oop garbage pile" was consensus there. go release got them excited

"""
Featured writer for the Washington Post at twenty. Author of a hit novel at twenty-one. Coaxed Greta Garbo out of seclusion for a Hollywood party. Ghostwrote the memoirs of New York’s most famous madam, Polly Adler. It’s no wonder Virginia Faulkner was spoken of as the next Dorothy Parker.

But Faulkner also struggled with alcoholism and depression, lost respect for her own work as a writer, and at age forty-two returned to her hometown of Lincoln, Nebraska, unsure what her next move would be. Asked to assemble an anthology to celebrate Nebraska, she joined the University of Nebraska Press and soon found herself fascinated by the challenges of work as an editor. The press, she realized, offered her the opportunity to champion the work of the writer she respected above all others: Willa Cather. And after finding an ideal colleague and life partner in Bernice Slote, Faulkner launched a series of books that helped establish Cather as one of America’s greatest writers.

In Virginia Faulkner: A Life in Two Acts, Brad Bigelow tells Faulkner’s story—one that’s lively, irreverent, and rich in its commitment to literature of lasting importance. Though her own books have since been forgotten, Faulkner left a legacy of achievement and success in American literature against social and personal odds, and her voice and spirit shine forth in the pages of this book.

someone finally fixed the dunst icon bug

knew the commit and code-line introduced it but never got around to reporting me xx

@whiteline@shitposter.world @idiot@shitposter.world @sun@shitposter.world don't remember 00s that way. was still outside uni chatting on fora and searching things, but feeling was "hardware constraints gone but people piling garbage on garbage, so still no performance gains. need to care about these things the oop craze was strong, but felt that was more eminating outwards from academia rather than reverse, students pushed on java early and adopting python and ruby because of that

anyways oyasu

@benlockwood@ecoevo.social optimising for efficiency could easily make a system far better than the current intentionally destroying the world, but even a well-run billions-of-people world would be ecological disaster say you eliminate meat from the global diet, shut down all the pointless gpus and asics, consolidate travel and mass-introduce hydrogen as fuel or whatever, what you have left is still an agricultural system using like a quarter of earth's arable land, fed by a non-replenishing water table and fertilisers derived from fossil fuels and giant-mess mining, and still reliant on pesticides and "tech" and power grid (the former greatly diminished, but the latter ramping up to unprecedented levels) that require their own mines to dewater and planet-encircling supply chains (moving away from lithium to less power dense alternatives where that density doesn't matter can help but). eliminating poisonous fertiliser and pesticide runoff at least might be possible by a move to indoor farming, but that does require knowledge and technologies we haven't worked out yet, and it's still not enough to reach what i'd think of as an "ecological society". people are just now talking about steel production without coke, and similar innovations would be necessary in thousands of other places in supply chains (e.g. working without animal byproducts in industry) that might be easy, difficult, or currently impossible but would anyways need time and effort not yet put in

@Moon@shitposter.club @DrewKadel@social.coop @PCOWandre@jauntygoat.net @thatguyoverthere@shitposter.club conversation she talks about putting humans into the loop to help with the current stumbling block, defining where and how to abstract ("when you're looking for a tumour, pay attention to *this* in the scan and not *that*). similarly, when a model has the pieces and rules of chess predefined for it it then can out-perform human grandmasters, showing this really is the current limiting factor humans have got a lot of these abstractions predefined for us as well in our embryonic-developed architecture (e.g. facial recognition hardware and whatever in practice constitutes chompy's "language acquisition device"), but the algorithmic approach we use is clearly also much more aggressive at abstracting on the fly, and we'll need to adjust the training of models to do the same

alacritty has been such an unstable. fourth breaking bug since switch like two years ago; this time something to do with fcitx input p'sure, drops into non-responsive state that requires kill everything

@sun@shitposter.world @idiot@shitposter.world before this week had only heard of the guy briefly in like 2012 as "racecar man who worked on backend system somehow even slower than python seems irrelevant person interchangeable with "tech bro" guys went to school with me
