Riddick looks weird without his glasses.

Some white knight that seemed to house only people on the worst days of their lives having super aggressive arguments just outside my door.

Also look at how FB et al can’t even keep themselves from tracking you all over the internet using all kinds of clever engineering engineering beyond plain cookies.

If it actually becomes ubiquitous, the ability to tie all the anonymous impressions to one person is too tempting for surveillance ghouls.

Lol what I feel like saying

Jail immediately

Me telling my boss about my weekend

This is a conversation between me and the gcc compiler (I suck at programming)

Because then you wakeup in your makeup.

Nintendo gonna Nintend

Right? That level of control seems downright psychotic.

If you have more books than bookshelfspace, then than tells me we will be friends.

Wave of the future!

That’s what I was trying to get at with my talk of incentives and external validation - Stop trying to “fix” them and accept that they lack the capacities that we take for granted.

I’m through with caring about what’s in someone’s heart of hearts. Can we get them to behave, even if it’s out of fear of being ostracised? Fine. Good enough.

Then work on the conditions that make people maladaptive (or really just adaptive to a mal world) separately.

Maybe we need to start treating lack of empathy like more of an intellectual / educational problem, rather than a moral failing in like your “soul”? If only just so we can forgive people enough to actually work with them.

I’m spitballin, but I can work with ignorance or even feeblemindedness - you just focus on education or harm reduction. Like maybe they’ll never never be able to see outgroups as fully human, but with the right kind of external validations and incentives, maybe they could simulate it.

Damn I just got Delta. Am I doomed to be perpetually behind on cool chats?

Apologies to everyone I pressed into quitting Messenger to switch to WA in the 10s. Hopefully I’m not repeating the same error in the 20s, but with WA->Signal. 😞

Could also mean being too loud.

We are same. I sometimes use comments as kind of tags, like

xinput --disable $(xinput --list | grep -i touchpad | grep 'id=[0-9]\+' -o | cut -d= -f2)  # Disable synaptic touchpad trackpad pointer

or

python3 -c 'from ctypes import *; X11 = cdll.LoadLibrary("libX11.so.6"); X11.XOpenDisplay.restype = POINTER(c_ubyte); display = X11.XOpenDisplay(None); X11.XkbLockModifiers(display, c_uint(0x0100), c_uint(2), c_uint(0)); X11.XCloseDisplay(display)' # swap caps CAPS CAPSLOCK

or sometimes I’ll add # works at the end of a long string of attempts (usually involving dialing into a regexp), like

xdpyinfo|grep dimensions|grep -Eow '\d'
xdpyinfo|grep dimensions|grep -Eow '(\d)'
xdpyinfo|grep dimensions|grep -ow '(\d)'
xdpyinfo|grep dimensions|grep -o '(\d)'
xdpyinfo|grep dimensions
xdpyinfo|grep dimensions|grep '1920x1080'
xdpyinfo|grep dimensions|grep -o '1920x1080'
xdpyinfo|grep dimensions|grep -o '\d920x1080'
xdpyinfo|grep dimensions|grep -Po '\d920x1080'
xdpyinfo|grep dimensions|grep -Po '\d+x1080'
xdpyinfo|grep dimensions|grep -Po '\d+x\d+'
xdpyinfo|grep dimensions|grep -Po '(\d+x\d+)'
xdpyinfo|grep dimensions|grep -Po '(\d+x\d+) pixels'
xdpyinfo|grep dimensions|grep -Po '(\d+x\d+) pixels'|cut

xdpyinfo|grep dimensions|grep -Po '(\d+x\d+) pixels'|cut -d\ -f1

It’s crazy seeing these people try to process reality.

Like I was at a friend’s house who’s into llms, and we were trying to figure some technical thing out, and on god I saw this man copy paste 2 short paragraphs into his gpt and ask it a question that the text already answered!!! But I guess he needed it spread out over twice as many words and a bullet point list.

Like wtffff you’re not even going to read the official docs when it’s directly answering your question?

I feel like I can see his brain shrinking in realtime. He’s all but given up on doing his own thinking. He complains about feeling dumb, but like is it any wonder when you’re attaching your reasoning to an llm like you’re a male angler fish.

Yeah it’s just meaningless factoids to me now.
