If people are actually dumb enough to believe an LLM chatbot is god then it becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy.

"The AI is a vengeful god" is a marketing campaign ran by AI companies. And why not? It seems there is, indeed, one born every minute, and technological progress only accelerates this phenomenon.

Don't worry about it. Claude did a thorough security review of their code.

> Exactly. Music theory is a programming language for musical composition and performance. Not really. Here in the 21st century people mostly use DAWs, and there's a piano roll inside that thing instead of staff notation.

"Music theory" is not a theory per se, it's mostly a fancy way of saying "rules for notating piano". In the linked textbook the real actual theory only starts in chapter 33, "Set Theory". (The exposition o

You don't need a "root certificate". Just publish a public key in your DNS TXT records. ACME is just that anyways but with extra (pointless) steps. The whole SSL certificate grift is just a way to extort money out of nothing.

Caveat: I have zero experience with USA government agencies. The spying tech from other countries I'm familiar with are beige box routers made by network engineering types with embedded firmware written in C inside. I think spying on t

Are you nuts? Excel is great, but it's an arcane beast rivaled only by Emacs configs. People pass down Excel formulas by word of mouth like they're magic spells.

Your jimmies seem rustled. Am I wrong tho? Is music "theory" actually a theory? Can it be used to predict or construct something? Even just a two-note steady-pulse acid bass beat. I'm not asking for much.

There's nothing magic in it. Any two pitches that have a rational number ratio with a small denominator sound "correct". It's just a quirk of human physiology. The real creativeness and ingenuity comes from rhythm and th

There's no such thing as "music theory". Music theory was originally a tool for music critics in the 19th century to talk about conservatory music of the time. There's nothing rigorous, systematic or scientific in it; it

That's literally what LLMs are. No amount of cope and anthropomorphizing is gonna change that cold, hard fact. P.S. The perceived magic of LLMs comes from the way they cross-correlate all the probabilities of tokens on their context

Well, for one thing, Mr. Beast is originally an anglophone thing. That alone makes him kinda niche globally.

Not really. Mr. Beast (whatever that is) may be big in your bubble. In my bubble that's a literally who, I doubt even 1 child out of 100 knows what that is. Cross-cultural (acultural?) memes like sixtyseven have much wider appeal.

By "ad tech" they apparently mean AdX, the part of Google that used to monetize the old open third-party Internet we used to have. (That old Internet that Google itself killed in favor of their walled-garden ecosystem.)

> Saying Apache is where software go to die is just wrong. ...and yet you proceeded to list all the ways that dead projects are being kept undead by Apache? I'm getting conflicting vibes here from your post.

Don't worry about it, Apache is the hospice where software projects go to die.

"Database" implies there's some sort of data aggregation or query primitive under the hood.

dbm isn't a database either, and people who call it that are simply wrong.
