The latest generation of bots, in their effort to be less sycophantic are now defaulting to mansplaining (botsplaining?). I see how this happens, but it's a frustrating waste of time. "Never mind your high level question, you obviously need the details X to be explained". STOP.

Hey @seldaek, I think I should be the decider of this, shouldn't I ?. Note that dmitry dropped the whitelist from opcache, maybe in 2025 we can be less defensive and leave it to the developers of a SAPI to raise warnings/bail if they can't support composer (or opcache, or x) ?

ChatGPT is becoming more competent, superficially, as a systems engineer. I interrogated 5 with things that stumped all the others. Good engineers have vast (infinite in potential, afaict) context windows, machines just can't do this. Not a difference of scale, one of kind.

Something 'musing . Ask a language model for help with a parser, and the results are absolutely bizarre. This is counter intuitive, a parser should be in their wheelhouse. The very nature of machine attention, and the nature of the task are in direct opposition. </musing>.

It's been a fun week working on the demo for ort . "em" has taken on a life of it's own, getting it's own repo . a pretty cool way to demo your PHP stuff using github pages, and it has just enough API to be useful (ie, some networking, and useful exts, more to come). #php

Hey #PHP,. Click on "The Solution" and try Tensor Math in your browser . Terms and condition apply - web assembly has no threads or intrinsics: it's a demo (which is free to host), not a route to deployment ;). #php #ai.

Hey #PHP,. I don't normally market code, I write and leave it on github for you to find. I can be wrong, I'm happy to be wrong. But I believe, with every ounce of my being, that this is going to be important for our survival in the long term. #php #ai.

You have to load up in advance with medicine that wants to kill you, the price for getting it wrong is potentially extremely high; underestimate: it slowly (not that slowly) chips away at your life expectancy, overestimate: you die in the night from hypoglycemia next week . .

I like to think I understand complex systems pretty well. The problem you are supposed to solve here (which is essentially organ failure) is basically intractable with the tools you are given . There is no way to know in principle how much any task will stress/excite you.

It isn't going to stop me, I have to find ways to manage that don't mean saying goodbye to my kids and wife early . I will find ways, I'm just doing it wrong. For now all I can do is try to adjust insulin and pay better attention to scheduling . Some sleep would also be nice.

Now my problem is that I really enjoy engineering . However, it's a job that induces stress and adrenaline in equal measure when you enjoy it and give it your all, and get it right. Stress and adrenaline are really difficult to manage/predict. #t1d #oss.

I'm using free claude, which can't analyse all the C code in one conversation, so I had to cheat and ask it to join documents from two conversations . it's a little sloppy because of that.
