The dependency hell of JS is caused by React. It’s an ironic turn because node gained popularity in part because it was one of the first to have a coupled package manager with a massive public contribution model, full of a billion packages that follow the unix philosophy of “everything should do only one thing, and do it well” Dependency hell would disappear if people stopped popularizing competing swiss army knives. It’s made worse by people trying to mash these swiss army knives together just to improve portfolio.

We’ve gotten to the point where you aren’t considered a real professional unless you start even the smallest projects with maximum technical debt.

It should never be impressive that you used a tool. If the tool made programming it easier then it’s not a mental feat. If the tool made programming it harder, then people should think you are kind of slow for using a tool that made development harder. This is why brag culture over what tools are used makes no sense. Just use tools that make life easier. If it doesn’t make life easier, stop using it.

Intuition is about the only thing it has. It’s a statistical system. The problem is it doesn’t have logic. We assume because its computer based that it must be more logic oriented but it’s the opposite. That’s the problem. We can’t get it to do logic very well because it basically feels out the next token by something like instinct. In particular it doesn’t mask or disconsider irrelevant information very well if two segments are near each other in embedding space, which doesn’t guarantee relevance. So then the model is just weighing all of this info, relevant or irrelevant to a weighted feeling for the next token.

This is the core problem. People can handle fuzzy topics and discrete topics. But we really struggle to create any system that can do both like we can. Either we create programming logic that is purely discrete or we create statistics that are fuzzy.

Of course this issue of masking out information that is close in embedding space but is irrelevant to a logical premise is something many humans suck at too. But high functioning humans don’t and we can’t get these models to copy that ability. Too many people, sadly many on the left in particular, not only will treat association as always relevant but sometimes as equivalence. RE racism is assoc with nazism is assoc patriarchy is historically related to the origins of capitalism ∴ nazism ≡ capitalism. While national socialism was anti-capitalist. Associative thinking removes nuance. And sadly some people think this way. And they 100% can be replaced by LLMs today, because at least the LLM is mimicking what logic looks like better though still built on blind association. It just has more blind associations and finetune weighting for summing them. More than a human does. So it can carry that to mask as logical further than a human who is on the associative thought train can.

Even defining reason is hard and becomes a matter of philosophy more than science. For example, apply the same claims to people. Now I’ve given you something to think about. Or should I say the Markov chain in your head has a new topic to generate thought states for.

If you make recommendations here I’ll add them. https://goatmatrix.net/c/MatrixEvents/4toi9ookbQ

I tend to do it all at once every couple weeks.

This is like closing a nature reserve due to insufficient landscapers.

I tried to run one. That time poll you see was created hoping I’d see a good time for Europe and or everyone. From that Sunday 4pm Eastern seemed like the time that would get everyone. No one showed up vs the 8pm Friday Eastern.

I had to let it go because there is nothing more embarrassing than running these and it’s just me and a rare person popping in and then immediately leaving because they see it’s just me watching a movie by myself.

Basically these are fun but a certain level of social momentum needs to happen for it to work and I tried but couldn’t get it working for the Europeans. You aren’t the only one who has asked, so I’d think it would take off just fine. I tried like three times. That’s three lonely movies I’ve watched.

If you want to launch one and can hype a time for it better than I can you can even use the same space. Anyone can plan anything they want there.

We do

Thanks!

You hurt their fee fees with that one.

When he was a teenager it would have been Slackware. Not even Knoppix was released yet.

And he didn’t use Linux as a teenager. You hallucinate things worse than ChatGPT.

We wanted to but I had trouble getting a copy. I normally don’t have that problem with films but every torrent was being seeded by people with BPD.

A group online. We do movie nights on Friday night.

Jokes on them. I’m going to use AI to estimate the value of content, and now I’ll get the kind of content I want, though fake, that they will have to generate.

That just changes who see’s it. I find I get less of a showing if I post it early. Posting sooner was my instinct too when I started doing this.
