@sorenpeter@darch.dk What are we testing?

First Advent of Code visualization this year:

https://movq.de/v/e14086cc1c/MVI_8057.MOV.mp4

It’s for day 8. Don’t look if you don’t want to get spoiled. If you don’t know the puzzle, you’ll hardly understand what this is doing – but it’s fancy and colorful and fun to look at, right? 😅

This is Java 1 (AWT) running on a Pentium 133 on OS/2 Warp 4.

@sorenpeter@darch.dk@darch.dk Nice! 👍

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I will take that as a compliment

Wow, it seem my #Webmentions implementation works from Mastodon via brid.gy

@prologic@twtxt.net It’s always been crazy to watch, yeah. 😅 And kind of frustrating, actually. Without any kind of ranking, this whole thing would be much more relaxed. ✌️

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That’s really disappointing 😢 Even before so-called “AI” (Artificial Incompetence) became “more of a thing” I was always astounded at how quick some of the solutions were coming out! 🤣

So, AI cheaters have ruined the global Advent of Code leaderboard:

https://old.reddit.com/r/adventofcode/comments/1h9cub8/discussion_on_llm_cheaters/

And they don’t even try to hide it anymore.

At this point, any kind of speed contest or ranking has become meaningless. Seeing this kind of behavior is sad and probably unavoidable, because there will always be a few who spoil things for everyone.

The only way going forward, I can think of, is to remove the global ranking and just have private leaderboards. Basically what these two people have said:

• https://old.reddit.com/r/adventofcode/comments/1h9cub8/discussion_on_llm_cheaters/m0zzfb1/
  
• https://old.reddit.com/r/adventofcode/comments/1h9cub8/discussion_on_llm_cheaters/m0zyswh/
  

Cheaters won’t get public attention anymore. AoC won’t be “officially” ruined by cheaters anymore. If you want to do a speed contest, you can still do that in private leaderboards.

(Honestly, I’d prefer it if AoC didn’t have any kind of ranking anyway. I’m not really fast enough to compete, but it’s always at the back of my head. And last year I made rank 116 once, so it’s not completely impossible. All this creates a lot of pressure that I have to fight and try to ignore. 🤣)

Over the holiday break I was looking at one of my old projects, µLinux. Turns out I did a fine job realy and have decided to revive the project 🥳 – Just getting the build/tests woring on my Mac Studio (Apple Silicon). Check it out! 👌

#µLinux

Was just catching up on all the LinkedIN garbage that is well umm garbage 🗑️ One was from a candidate I interviewed, so I had to reply to that 😅 – Anyway…. Saw this random post in my “notifications”:

How do land that job with a Unicorn

First off, you’ll have to define what da fuq a “Unicorn” is! 🤣 My understanding a Unicorn is a mythical creature with a horn on its head and wings 🪽 🤦‍♂️

@bender@twtxt.net Already planning on going back to the same place again next year 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net “no show, however good, could conceivably be good for ever.” ☺️

No worries, holidays will be back again sooner than you think.

Poo holiday is over 😢

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha! I find it funny what brain autocorrects can come up with. :-)

@sorenpeter@darch.dk

“A minimalist social network powered by plain text files”

My brain keeps shortening this to “a socialist network …” and then jumps to “uhh, large parts of the US won’t like this” … 🤦🤪

@bender@twtxt.net I reviewed my solution and it’s pretty much spot on! 🤣 the order of magnitude performance is anywhere between 1-10ms

@prologic@twtxt.net I wouldn’t know! :-)

@bender@twtxt.net I currently use the mixstral and codeastral models. Both open source and run just fine on my personal machines.

Bye bye Angsana! See you again next year hopefully 🤞

@bender@twtxt.net are one of my assumptions off?

@sorenpeter@darch.dk@darch.dk It is actually allowed though 🤣

@johanbove@johanbove.info You are also welcome to use and/or borrow from twtxt2html 👌

@discoverbsdthebsdcommunitylinklog@feeds.twtxt.net This is interesting. Not giving up on #FreeBSD #jails yet but definitely have to give this a try; and if my #podman workflow goes as smooth as it does on #Linux I might just end up installing FreeBSD on the #RaspberryPi too! 🥳

although the only #Go things I’m running in there are a WriteFreely blog and the Saltyd #SaltyIM broker … each running in separate #FreeBSD #jail, those are still running the 14.1-Release (at the moment) anyways.

Upgrading my FreeBSD box to 14.2-RELEASE … I may have read something about some-Go-thing breaking but 🤞

@eapl@eapl.mx if your point is to state that the extension is redundant, why “twt.txt”, and not “twtxt”?

good luck with the doughnut on a stick in a URL

You can call it whatever you want, that’s the beauty of it. There is no need to set a “standard” for this. To prove it, I will setup one feed, and name the file “sørenpeter.txt”. 🤭

or timeline.txt ;)

Less than 30 minutes for Path of Exile II, and the queue of players waiting for the servers to open the gates is now at 22,525. More than 1 million have purchased the early access to the game. It is going to be a rough ride!

test post EDIT

@wbknl@twtxt.net “The shocking untold story of the elite secret society of hackers fighting to protect our freedom – “a hugely important piece of the puzzle for anyone who wants to understand the forces shaping the internet age.” – which edition?

@prologic@twtxt.net 6ms, so extremely slow! :-P

PhD level science questions? (+1)
niftydude an hour ago
A PhD level science question is a question that can only be answered by scientific research and experimentation.

And no, by “research”, I do not mean googling.

Literally the whole point of a scientific PhD is to perform experiments and study to answer a specific research question that no one has looked into yet.

Whilst ChatGPT can probably can answer “PhD-level science questions” with the same generation of plausible bullshit it answers all questions, I very much doubt ChatGPT can answer PhD-level science questions with any sort of accuracy.

It can’t do that without performing experiments (that in some cases might be complex enough to last years).

Just more of the marketing BS silicon valley seems to be full of these days. Remember when California was actually making products that benefited society as well as making money?

OpenAI Releases ‘Smarter, Faster’ ChatGPT - Plus $200-a-Month Subscriptions for ‘Even-Smarter Mode’
Wednesday OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced “12 Days of OpenAI,” promising that “Each weekday, we will have a livestream with a launch or demo…” And sure enough, today he announced the launch of two things:
- “o1, the smartest model in the world. Smarter, faster, and more features (e.g. … ⌘ Read more

@johanbove@johanbove.info Congrats! 🥳 I think it’s only 4 years for me 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Haha! No! Golf biggie 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de The view in these is pretty gorgeous as well!! 👌

@prologic@twtxt.net Heck yeah, gorgeous! Did you hike up there?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Uuuh, nice! Despite the weather service claiming that it is snowing at this very moment, there is absolutely nothing here.

It just worked fine like nothing had ever happened when I booted my laptop this morning.

… aaand now everything’s white: https://movq.de/v/8ad556e1c8/ Let’s see how long it lasts.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com This is as fog-free as it gets at the moment, although it just started snowing a lot: https://movq.de/v/ec96db0f90/ Same tree, less dramatic effect. 😂

I have been on Twtxt for five years straight now. Hurray me.

@prologic@twtxt.net which models do you prefer, and what made you prefer them?

@prologic@twtxt.net believe it or not, those green leaves and vines are eatable! Nice view, mate. Love the skies and mountains at the horizon!

@prologic@twtxt.net Oh, nice! I can hear the cicadas. 😃
