aly @aly.codes · 06/10/2026In 1957 Chomsky argued that finite computational systems can generate effectively unbounded linguistic behavior. This abstract system enables all contemporary machine learning. His salary was also 100% paid for by the US military lol AI, like you and me, was born in the hellfire of modernity. 5998
aly @aly.codes · 04/10/2026this is making me snort and laugh so bad lmao like wow you just learned how forks work 4902

aly @aly.codes · 02/10/2026I still can't get over the fact people think they can do this without just producing absolute turbo gutter slop. this is not a good way to do agentic development github.com/PrimeIntelle... 2600
aly @aly.codes · 01/10/2026actually laughing maniacally like this muhahahaha not once but twice we have done something so ridiculous 2200
aly @aly.codes · 01/10/2026I have essentially built my own performance-testing harness, and it's netted a ton of benefits but this is so absolutely wild I'm losing it lmao layman's terms: this means streaming responses from the agent now uses 0.5% of the RAM it used to use 2240
aly @aly.codes · 01/10/2026you people have outsourced your own brain so much that you don't remember what you yourself said, like an LLM with a 4096 context window 1141
aly @aly.codes · 29/09/2026It’s times like this where a decade in academia does make me a bit smug. Suppose this doesn’t apply to MDs, ofc. 270
aly @aly.codes · 29/09/2026we’ve also managed to create a crapload of more wealth while working way less. average westerner is significantly wealthier than in 1950 and works significantly less. also we basically ended child labor in that time period and took entire generations of people out of the workforce via pensions 1232
aly @aly.codes · 29/09/2026Humans in the west work between 1/2 and 2/3rds the number of hours worked in 1870. The ‘winning’ of the 8 hour work day wasn’t until 1938 in the USA, but there’s no correlate drop off. Instead, it’s the congealment of numerous technological and social changes over time. 2726
aly @aly.codes · 29/09/2026Zuckerberg isn’t tracking me enough. If he were, he would know I have spent a lifetime trying to become the worst .NET developer possible. 2382
aly @aly.codes · 28/09/2026guy who is doing the opposite of trying: I’m sincerely trying it’s just so hard to not call women White Males 3627
aly @aly.codes · 28/09/2026you have to be getting off on it to deperson someone like this so enthusiastically 2391
aly @aly.codes · 28/09/2026this would introduce liability for the guy running the for you feed on here, btw. he would be personally liable to any individual actor and to the federal government. this kind of censorial chaos is a total abdication of the regulatory apparatus in favor of endless SLAPP 110
