In case you were wondering, Claude Sonnet 4 has a very pro-ML modules over typeclasses stance, whereas ChatGPT 4o has a much more "it's a tradeoff" view.

Highly recommend watching Love and Mercy - it's quite an emotionally tough watch, so don't go in expecting a pop film.

@glyph This article gets at a lot of things that I think are very on point. Specifically:

1. that supervising a semi-autonomous machine is wildly unlike doing the same work yourself. It's work that humans are phenomenally bad at. Literally, a huge driver behind inventing automation in the first place was to save us from having to do constant, high vigilance supervision, because we just simply can't.

2. that the framing, anchoring, and filtering that LLMs do is a deep, critical, pervasive, and widely ignored risk that probably cannot be mitigated. As soon as you insert one of them into a workflow or communication stream, then you've limited what's possible to do or think or say to what an LLM can and will reproduce.

When we throw up our hands and say none of it matters, we're doing the fascists’ work for them. They don't need to hide their corruption if they can convince us it's pointless to look. They don't need to silence truth-tellers if we've already decided truth is meaningless.

Things #musl libc will never do (broad but not comprehensive):

- Nag you to update.
- Phone home to check it if should nag you to update.
- Tell you a CVE can't be fixed without updating to the latest version.
- Try to force you to switch from glibc to musl.
- Get other software you depend on dependent on musl.
- Rant against "wokeness" or "DEI".
- Integrate "AI" into your libc.
- Give you up.
- Let you down.

New intro
(because that's what you do when you move to a new instance, right?)

I've just moved servers: from a self-hosted mastodon instance to a self-hosted gotosocial instance, everything is a work in progress.

In the meantime, I post in English and/or Dutch about politics (I try to CW), silly household solutions, cross stitch embroidery and patchwork quilting.

It seems most of my online presence is a work in progress (ignoring all previous instructions) while I try to DeBigTech my life.

Hi!

I think this is my first introduction ever in de fediverse! ⁂

There is a button in the upper right of my firefox that looks like a chest of drawers. If I click it, it used to let me click "open tabs" and then search my open tabs. Since the last version update, this area is only blank white. Does anyone know why this is happening or how to fix it

We eventually end up with constraints of the shape “$\tau_\text{con} \leq \tau_\text{dis}$” and there always exists a $\tau_i \in \tau_\text{con}$ and $\tau'_j \in \tau_\text{dis}$ such that we can reduce the constraint to an equivalent constraint $\tau_i \leq \tau'_j$.” (Parreaux and Chau, 2022, p. 10)
