What is Hackers' Pub?

Hackers' Pub is a place for software engineers to share their knowledge and experience with each other. It's also an ActivityPub-enabled social network, so you can follow your favorite hackers in the fediverse and get their latest posts in your feed.

so!! i am excited!!! to have finally finished the complete reimplementation of the memory-25x applet for managing SPI NOR flashes. it is called memory-25q and it took an enormous amount of effort, because i have decided to Build It Properly

want to jump to the docs (there are a lot of docs, including on the fundamentals of (Q)SPI flashes) or read the code? here we go:

now, why did i do that? two reasons. memory-25x is one of the first applets i made, ~7 years ago, and i had no idea what kind of UI i should be building (yet). to make it worse, i thought that SPI NOR flashes were "easy", you could "just send a few bytes and that's basically it".

nothing could be further from truth. first off, SPI NOR flashes don't really exist—there is no spec, no standard organization that can say "no, your thing is not compliant", no order to any of this. every vendor does whatever they want, and then every other year JEDEC writes down all of the unhinged shit they did. here is the list of six incompatible methods to turn a single bit on or off, as a warmup

second, SPI flashes have an absolutely absurd diversity of framings. you cannot even express it without building a meta-framework for abstracting over all the ways people have come up to squeeze 8 bits into 2 or 4 wires. then on top of it you have to manage a bunch of global state that affects framing in subtle or sometimes really fundamental ways, without having any way to find out that you've made an error besides "you compare the actual data with the expected data (or its checksum) and it is not equal"

anyway, the new applet should be excellent at any daily task and at least okay at >90% of the exotic ones. also it's easily generalized for the (completely incompatible on the wire) QSPI NAND 25N series, octal or DTR variants, etc

Widzi pan, panie Altman...

Gdybyście ChataGPT utrzymali jako open source a OpenAI byłaby naprawdę otwarta, to pan może nie byłby aż tak bogaty, ale wielu chętnie dołączałoby do rozwoju, jak i wspierało.

A tak to pleciesz pan bzdurę za bzdurą, wiedząc że czas OpenAI jest policzony i że albo etat w Microslopie albo Google, ewentualnie emerytura i zabawa w inwestowanie w startupy.

Nie jest mi pana szkoda.

RE: social.coop/@cwebber/116217477

"MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN"

i&i say: metaphysical- historical- & materially speaking, Altman just pronounced his own death sentence & OpenAI's & the whole TESCREAL TechBroism's death sentence.
they & this must die, the sooner the better, & will eventually.

this is the clearest Writing On The Wall one can get at this stage.

나¹는 아무리 생각해봐도 지능은 그냥 예측 모델인 것 같음. 다만 LLM과 비교하면 인간이

  1. 감정적이고 (좋고 나쁨을 판단할 때 호르몬이 영향을 끼침)
  2. 멀티모달에 능하고
  3. 모델 업데이트가 즉각적인 것 뿐 아닌가 싶음

그래서 위 다른점이 불필요한 영역에서는 인간보다 낫지 않나 싶고.

[1]: AI와 인간, 그 어느 쪽도 잘 알지 못하는 비전문가

그래서 "LLM이 인간을 대체할 수 없다"는 몇몇 주장은 좀 공허한 것 같음. 예를 들어 LLM은 지능적이지도, 창의적이지도 않다, GIGO다, 데이터의 거울일 뿐이다 등등.

"LLM은 데이터의 거울일 뿐이다"라는 문장 자체에는 동의하는데, 인간은 다른가?는 잘 몰겠숭 똑같은 것 같은데

Thanks to @mcc for boosting this post 3 days ago because this is how I found which is perfect for specifically me

I am not sure if the person who made the original program is on Mastodon (the user June is just sharing the link here) but they are at internet-janitor.itch.io/
People have made slop AI websites selling and claiming to be the creator of this free browser program which is what the beyondloom blogpost is about.
