<p>I'm also reading the first dungeon crawler carl series. You might really like the bobiverse, just got another book as well!
Before that I read "a short stay in hell", super good! Or discordia by max barry or road kill by dennis e. taylor. All very entertaining.</p>

<p>it's a generalistic classifier w/training needed tho. as far as I'm concerned that is somehwat novel and very practical. you get an ok classifier without working out training data and whatnot. sure, you can do classic ML experiments, but the closest that comes to mind is auto ml. not sure how far we got there, it's been a minute for me on this front.<p>so I don't agree on the premise that it's "just a classifier". it's not something earth shattering, but practical nonetheless<p>/e: there's another post from sebastian raschka on this: <a href="https://magazine.sebastianraschka.com/p/classifier-history-and-jev" rel="nofollow">https://magazine.sebastianraschka.com/p/classifier-history-a...</a></p>

<p>Super cool, love the aesthetic. Buy testing the whole blog a bit better would've surfaced the "all posts" link going to an empty page I guess? Also: not reading code for a toy project like this vs in a commercial setting shouldn't be compared at all.
Would also really love to see the token spend on this.</p>

<p>It's also a gamble that you don't have to look at the underlying layers because it's "the new abstraction layer". Which is intellectually incredibly lazy.<p>They talk about astractions as if "requirements -> code" is the same as "Go -> ASM -> bytecode". Which is just utterly stupid. But downvotes tell me a different story haha.<p>I'm also management btw, and the two startups I am a CTO at all have clear buy-in from other C-levels that we can't just spam AI slop w/o reading it and hope for the best. But I do see that most probably don't see it.</p>

<p>I really don't get this discussion at all. Ignoring human comprehension etc., every code review of agentically created code shows bad tests (lots of overfitting, testing on specific implementation details, not general behaviour/business logic), weird and repetitive abstractions, duplications of code, circumventing architecture etc. etc. It's a complete mess. Unmaintainable, bad craft, bug-prone and corrosive. That's what you want to catch. You're piling on tech debt like hell and you're gonna pay for it down the line. Look at the fucking code and then come back to argue. Jesus. I don't even understand how this is a debate. Look at the code.</p>

<p>Well, this is old news. I'm still baffled by the fact that people take output of public personas as isolated facts. Take Nietzsche. Sure, great philosophical input. But try reading the sections about women. Same for Schopenhauer. Why? Because they were both incels and had big mother wounds that have never been addressed. So they spew their shit and people take it at face value even tho it stems from hurt. So why would I take any of this seriously if it's very obviously stupid and removed from reality? (Doesn't mean their whole works are)<p>People chasing the absolute rational are in my experience numbing their emotional part because theres something they can't look at. Or people that chase success above all are driven by their "unresolved packages" as well. I'm not saying that any of this is wrong per se, it's not black and white. But it's the context for what people do, say, and think. They are human after all. We need to consider  context and not only the idea itself.</p>

<p>Censorship is not alignment and vice versa.<p>Alignment is "don't solve this problem without doing stuff that harms me, other people, breaks stuff or is otherwise unethical". I'd say alignment is the questions on how to limit the search space to what's implied.</p>

<p>For me it also produces totally overengineered tests that are tightly coupled to the implementation. For example testing existence of css classes (in a template based go prooject ...) instead of behaviour.</p>

<p>But my point is the "decolonization" bit. Fine, we work towards more accurate maps. Everbody (except the US government haha) wants that I guess. It's the identity politics part that still baffles me.</p>

<p>The comments overwhelmingly say: mercator isn't really in use. So what is this weird "decolonization" push then? Virtue signalling? I see it a lot from US-based people nowadays. Seems like a weird fetish as a European.</p>
