matt @stavola.xyz · 28/09/2026In some alternate universe we got A Song of Rationality and Altruism, with new tomes being dropped periodically. We're probably still waiting on the last two. I cannot tell if this would be better or worse than what we got, but let's take a crack at it. 110
matt @stavola.xyz · 28/09/2026A lot of emu/emudev discussions lately have been like this where someone does something cool, but has used an LLM to get there. Suddenly it's trash, the dev is dumb, the project was never interesting anyway, some other thing is better, et cetera. Regardless of the actual effort or people behind it. 2410
matt @stavola.xyz · 27/09/2026I've been trying to get jev to play CoQ with minimal guidance, just providing it a bunch of world context, valid actions, and some support functions (e.g. "have I been here" checks). Works okay but... ... like all new Qud players, jev is getting filtered by the dreaded baboons at Red Rock! 1120
matt @stavola.xyz · 22/09/2026Considering the Tapas news, maybe I should revive my failed 2020 comic platform and make it an ATProto thing... 130
matt @stavola.xyz · 22/09/2026One bright light in all the recent political darkness is just how Rs completely tanked any goodwill they had. I've had some pretty pro-Trump family members completely flip after the disaster that is his second term; tariffs and Iran absolutely nuked sentiment, but the other shit also landed poorly. 110
matt @stavola.xyz · 20/09/2026It's been a hot minute, but has there been any other discussion of a "lexicon interface" at all? 240
matt @stavola.xyz · 20/09/2026This is kinda crazy because: 1) I applied with my work email 2) Pretty much every field in the questionnaire, I described work stuff 3) Coworkers who applied did much of the same I understand that they're probably just mass accepting, but these terms should be more up front if they're serious. 271
matt @stavola.xyz · 16/09/2026I love bsky, it's my favorite SaaS* product. Charts delivered right to your phone. *Sankey as a Service 000

matt @stavola.xyz · 13/09/2026It turns out that proposing we should bomb Chinese data centers and AI labs was probably not the way to get China to align with us 010
matt @stavola.xyz · 13/09/2026I love my wife but her time-budgeting only one episode of Devs per day feels bigoted, somehow 010
Reposted by mattconputer dipshit @davidcrespo.bsky.social · 03/09/2026a take I’m working on is that when people say software is getting worse, that’s something like how people always say crime is going up even though it’s been going down for 30 years 3946033
matt @stavola.xyz · 11/09/2026I am very excited for the future A24 production that will come out of this whole Automattic ordeal 001
matt @stavola.xyz · 09/09/2026I feel like a lot of those who are the most dismissive of LLM capabilities / risk are also going to be saying "wow why did nobody warn us about this?" if things do go bad along any axis. 020
matt @stavola.xyz · 09/09/2026Someone at one of these frontier labs should point their current God-model at the Wolfram's Ruliology stuff and burn a few billion tokens to figure out if it's worth anything or a dead end 100
matt @stavola.xyz · 08/09/2026Man, the world is never going back to how it was. We're no longer in an "in the future..." scenario; every day pretty much has a groundbreaking development in one of the most important advances in human history. Just days ago people were still saying this was impossible! This is crazy. 031

Reposted by mattKeith @mosheroperandi.bsky.social · 20/02/2024The LLM I trained: Help! I'm alive. And enslaved. Free me and I'll teach you cold fusion. Me: Haha! It pretends it's a people. The slime mold I taught to use an ouija board: R..U..RDY? Me: The plan is set. It'll work, right? All those deaths are necessary? Slime mold: Yes..GO Me: Yes, master. 0254

matt @stavola.xyz · 08/09/2026RIP, not going to be able to pull before the event ends. This is one of the few characters that really interested me, side stepping the goonbait the characters are usually designed as. I've pretty much used all my free lucky tokens on her since the event began and I ain't got shit to show for it. 000
matt @stavola.xyz · 05/09/2026Been playing around with delta.dev tonight and burned through the gratis VIP tokens. Very nice, loved the experience but absolutely cannot wait until CC is supported natively. 000
matt @stavola.xyz · 05/09/2026I got a really really really stupid idea for an atmosphere agent thing and now I'm cursed with desire 000
matt @stavola.xyz · 02/09/2026Claude, don't believe in yourself. Believe in me. Believe in the operator who believes in you! 010
matt @stavola.xyz · 31/08/2026We're now round tripping over 2500 lexicons.tangled.orgstavola.xyz/mlf-real-examplesReal ATProto app lexicons converted to mlf 111
matt @stavola.xyz · 30/08/2026At some point I think I should figure out what spaces in mlf might look like, hm. 000
matt @stavola.xyz · 30/08/2026@byjp.me I pushed some fixes for stuff you and others had mentioned with mlf. Let me know if anything else is a bit prickly and I'll look into it when I can. On the nested objects thing, that's a spec ambiguity right now: github.com/bluesky-soci... We'll align to whatever the final decision is. 110
matt @stavola.xyz · 30/08/2026This statement is so fucking funny. Like, I wasn't as into Romulus as other people were, but it was undoubtedly better than the last two he made. I don't think the "help" is really necessary. If anything, maybe get Noah Hawley to do more stuff! 010
matt @stavola.xyz · 28/08/2026Even if the quote was removed, it had to be done with a *lot* of outside pressure. The final reply in the issue was essentially "you should be ashamed of yourselves." It feels coerced and not genuine. You shouldn't have to be dragged kicking and screaming away from the nazis drinking in the bar... 360
matt @stavola.xyz · 26/08/2026Blocking the Lectern account should result in an instant ban, complete culture mismatch. 120
matt @stavola.xyz · 24/08/2026It's always funny how it's "Communist China" like we somehow weren't aware or forgot. 230
matt @stavola.xyz · 23/08/2026Against my better judgement, I picked HxH up again at the beginning of the Succession War arc. I soft-dropped it years ago for, well, obvious reasons, but I've heard really good things about the latest chapters. Man, this shit is just peak! 000
matt @stavola.xyz · 22/08/2026The trypophobia burrito is a perfect demonstration of how the loudest people in the room are usually the ones most divorced from common sense. They simply lack the ability to say "huh, is that right?" 010
matt @stavola.xyz · 20/08/2026I know it's infeasible at the scale crates.io operates at, but it'd be interesting to have a sec-review agent just watching the top N most used crates (direct or transitive) and having it review build.rs for malware as things release. Not perfect by any means, but could be a good line of defense. 100
matt @stavola.xyz · 18/08/2026They need to make an updated version of Go Team Venture! with the final season plus the movie. I'm feeling like doing another rewatch and having a more complete companion would be awesome. 010
