日本語話者はどれくらいいるんだろう。ここで日本語で書き込み続けるのはどうなんだろう

I wonder how many Japanese speakers there are. Is it okay to keep posting in Japanese here?

Hello World

こんにちは。はじめまして。

Hello. Nice to meet you.

ここで日本語で書き込み続けるのはどうなんだろうサイト作成者はさまざまの言語の話者が一緒に話せる場面にしたい気がする

I wonder if it's okay to keep posting in Japanese here. I get the feeling the site creator wants this to be a place where speakers of various languages can talk together.

Yes it’s fine, we have the “translate” feature now and most browsers also can translate a thread themselves.

…

τώρα έχουμε αυτόματες μεταφράσεις!

now we have automatic translations!

a Windows 11 újabb meglepetése: amellett, hogy a kezelőfelülete sokkal gányabb, mint a Windows 10-é, állítólag most 10 napot kellene várnom addig, ameddig az előző rendszer törli magát a gépről

Another surprise from Windows 11: in addition to the fact that its interface is much more annoying than Windows 10's, I now supposedly have to wait 10 days for the previous system to delete itself from the computer

I suck at math so bad ；⁠∀⁠；

got my first publication this year, and on track for two more next year along with my masters. feeling very junior and full of hope :D

Congratulations!

Nice! Congrats. Any link to the pub?

thx ^^ its in computational chemistry, knock yourself out: doi.org/10.1021/acs.jpca.6c02038

Very cool. Not my field, so 80% of the jargon is lost to me. But sounds like an interesting area!

yea its quite a beautiful and useful field and you get to work with some HPC which is fun

moved to berlin for my bachelors and it took some time to find footing. Im not the best student but I ended up getting lucky to snag a student assistant position by applying/presenting at a summer school (targeted more toward master/phd). then that became my thesis and it dragged quite a long time, bureacracy and supervision and such. But the results were interesting and i learned a ton along the way. Im really happy I yolo applied to that program

This seems nice

it's so embarrassing that I'm saving money for a body pillow if all things

I gotta confess, I vibe codet a Kirigami-based application and I liked it. I am a anti AI person, and cannot wait for the bubble to burst. Yet I see it can empower people that do not know a tech stack, and get good enough results out of it. However i also see, it makes you lazy (and frustrates as soon as it gets somewhat complicated). It seems it is being adopted everywhere. This is scary... if it becomes necessary, will you be able to find a job where they don't require you to use AI?

I lament the death of programming as an economically-viable craft, but am also leveraging the new tools to build things and to try to stay competitive. I think we have yet to find out how agentic coding will really make sense for companies once the costs stop being subsidized. But it's clearly not going anywhere.

Well this looks very nice indeed. Just dipping a hoof into the river for now ...

Which river? Asking because most rivers are contaminated these days. Be careful!

ty and welcome!

omarchy felt a bit like cheating so i redid a plain arch install and am using sway now. if im honest, its all not that far away from eachother. obsessing over configs and distros is really just a hobby that some people in the linux community take too seriously.

Hi, this is my first time here. Are there any rules here?

you do not talk about textlog

dont use the n word and thats it

tech influencers on twitter: god i hate interacting with other people. i love my new bot that does it for me. life is so much better now that im just telling bots what to do and not talking to people. i can’t wait for everyone to be bots!

Management says „AI first“, everyone hears „Human second“

Returned from the gym. Good day.

The government welds your door shut and then outlaws starting a business and living in McMansions, cars, skyscrapers, and tiny homes. The governments bans body odor and then closes stores and bans delivery services. The state closes bathrooms and then outlaws public urination. The government closes the border and then arrests tourists for overstaying their visas.

I've written a small persistent agent wrapper for agent.py. I'm impressed with how well it works. I feel like a CEO issuing global memos to all my agents after reading their status reports.

After running them for a weekend and spending $2 on openrouter I've put the wrapper script at public.swiley.net/agents.sh

Theory reuse > code reuse almost every time.

I notice that language models are much better at programming than at writing. This is largely because, in programming, they have a closed feedback loop that allows them to find errors. Writing is much more complicated because the feedback is much more diffuse and delayed over time. In fact, it is often not well-defined.

What is the function that determines whether a poem is good? This means that models do not know how to think; they lack judgment. If they do not know how to think, it means that we humans are still essential. In fact, even when programming, you have to stay right on top of them. My conviction is that this will not change.

They will become increasingly useful, but they will never be able to replace the human who defines objectives and evaluates the quality of the work. All these news stories claiming that AI is going to kill us all are stupid. Humans will always be able to turn off the machine.
