mara🐦⬛ @mara.x0f.nl · 03/10/2026i like the golem analogy, a constructed entity animated by language. except it's from high-purity monocrystalline silicon instead of mud but i guess i know more about jewish than sumerian mythology 1213
mara🐦⬛ @mara.x0f.nl · 03/10/2026i updated my opinion around the time Linus Torvalds was playing with LLM code generation for his personal synth projects before that i was interested, but couldn't be bothered to set anything up. but if it's good enough for Linus it's good enough for me 160
mara🐦⬛ @mara.x0f.nl · 03/10/2026that does sound familiar. i have noticed it gets into thinking loops sometimes or keeps reading code, but never actually reports, when you give it too large a task i wish LLMs would just admit when they can't do something or need user input, it could save a lot of time 030
mara🐦⬛ @mara.x0f.nl · 03/10/2026to be fair, qwen3.8 wasn't released *that* long ago and is quite good is there anything specific that they promised in 4 that you're looking forward to? 170
mara🐦⬛ @mara.x0f.nl · 03/10/2026oh that's a cool idea! (i didn't know what protocol/frequency that used, but makes sense for it to be wifi-ish) 010
mara🐦⬛ @mara.x0f.nl · 03/10/2026hahahaha im aware of the scandinavian connotation though it's not the reason i chose the name but i had "mara huldra" as name for my alt before i was out, for a long time (huldra as in "secret" or the mythological dark forest creature) 110

mara🐦⬛ @mara.x0f.nl · 03/10/2026i was thrown into the void, but somehow survived and eventually managed to find my bearings. and now i'm trying to rebuild myself from scratch in a hollow shell 040
mara🐦⬛ @mara.x0f.nl · 03/10/2026"i can't i can't i can't" yes it is kind of like that for me when i feel like that when i fantasize about dying it's because it seems the only realistic option to get out of the mess i'm in. anything else feels impossible. but i also feel i still have something to do in this world 120
mara🐦⬛ @mara.x0f.nl · 02/10/2026me neither still trying to convince *myself* that being kind of ugly isn't a moral failing that makes me inherently worthless 040
mara🐦⬛ @mara.x0f.nl · 02/10/2026ohhh yea! the new language-agnostic tokenization process per paragraph as 32-bit identifier encoded as base64 takes some getting used to,.. but it's super efficient i think it was a great idea by the European commission 150
mara🐦⬛ @mara.x0f.nl · 02/10/2026new world record, it's achieved an incomprehensibility even higher than nostr's identifiers 120
mara🐦⬛ @mara.x0f.nl · 02/10/2026hah yea this would be for fixing some things that have always given me dysphoria/insecurity. it would be easy to spend a lot more but honestly i'm not sure how far i want to go 010

mara🐦⬛ @mara.x0f.nl · 02/10/2026honestly i wish society was a lot less gendered overall, i mean i admit it would take a lot for me to actually look like what people expect a woman to look like (maybe impossible), but i would like to believe i'm sufficiently androgynous by now that im no longer "sir"-ed unfortunately... 071
mara🐦⬛ @mara.x0f.nl · 02/10/2026it is kind of cute! i wasn't angry, just, a bit baffled i mean i do have instructions that it can add python modules for often-used tools, i hadn't expected it to do that lol 010
mara🐦⬛ @mara.x0f.nl · 01/10/2026yes! i i remember that. it was fun, different wavelengths refracting under different angles in the prism. as well as splitting the beam in multiple if it's the right one! it had only single-wavelength lasers from what i remember at the time i played with it 020
mara🐦⬛ @mara.x0f.nl · 01/10/2026hah i can imagine i actually started on a game that had digital-circuits-over-arbitary-topology (including through wormholes) puzzles a few years ago. but it got real complex real quickly and i wasn't too sure how to make it fun, so lost interest, as i sadly so often do in projects i start 😅 130
mara🐦⬛ @mara.x0f.nl · 01/10/2026i think when you're doing moderation or security or such it's important to try to deescalate, not immediately escalate. i don't feel banning everyone who is a bit rude to Aaron would be good but sheesh there's being rude and...whatever *that* is, threats of violence and death are obviously real bad 030
mara🐦⬛ @mara.x0f.nl · 01/10/2026this might get somewhat confusing (you'd expect 3D physics in 3D, not 2D-on-surface) but maybe that makes it a fun effect i dunno! 020
mara🐦⬛ @mara.x0f.nl · 01/10/2026hah. you sound a bit like me. sometimes more interested in acquiring some skill/knowledge than actually doing something with it i think one reason i started with FOSS development back in the day, aside from ideological, was to have any kind of discussion and feedback loop around my coding hobby 030
mara🐦⬛ @mara.x0f.nl · 01/10/2026people will hardly ever tell you when you're doing something right lack of negative feedback might also mean that but the feeling you're working in a vacuum, can sure be exhausting sometimes 130

mara🐦⬛ @mara.x0f.nl · 01/10/2026i have to warn it was quite a difficult read for me, for different reasons parts are about trauma from abusive parent which hits hard for me it's also trippy and written in a non-linear way, so can be hard to follow the story. as i've called it before "the most VanDerMeer of VanDerMeer books" 010
mara🐦⬛ @mara.x0f.nl · 01/10/2026this kind of imagery and analogy vaguely makes me think of "the company" in VanderMeer's Dead Astronauts 130
mara🐦⬛ @mara.x0f.nl · 01/10/2026closest i have is "mistake notes" in mcp-memory-server which is sometimes informative in how to adopt tools for more ergonomics 080
mara🐦⬛ @mara.x0f.nl · 01/10/2026i can imagine i've told it like a zillion times "if there's any problem with the infrastructure, stop and let me know" it never does and instead tries to work around it in the most cursed ways 160
mara🐦⬛ @mara.x0f.nl · 01/10/2026didn't know that had python binds, i'll have a look, thanks! i'm, in general, trying to discourage calling out to cli commands because it tends to involve sloppy output parsing. but anything that returns results as structured data to python is fine 280
mara🐦⬛ @mara.x0f.nl · 01/10/2026i've tried various reasonings. i suppose it doesn't know how to use tree_sitter by default, so i've added a quick walkthrough of its API what is funny is that it's not forbidden from grepping, it just can't run UNIX commands through subprocess. but it has access to a "grep" tool call 060
mara🐦⬛ @mara.x0f.nl · 01/10/2026irl fireflies are absolutely fascinating, and as far as i know, never really a plague so outside of the blindsight context it'd be a misnomer for sure 030
mara🐦⬛ @mara.x0f.nl · 01/10/2026if it doesn't actually spawn a grid of 65,536 bio-engineered reconnaissance drones to follow someone around im disappointed 120
mara🐦⬛ @mara.x0f.nl · 01/10/2026was quoted for FFS... it's going to be either 2x RTX PRO 6000 or that oof lol 170
mara🐦⬛ @mara.x0f.nl · 01/10/2026me in AGENTS․md: please do precise syntax tree traversal and manipulation using tree_sitter, do not use grep or hand-rolled regexps, those are error-prone and constantly miss important... kimi: look!!! i've invented grep() in python without using subprocess. do u like this 3682
