@mcc 100% agree.
I have always thought that:
- LLMs are lossy compressed hyperbooks.
- Companies misleadingly slapped an « oracle » UX over it.
- It has more potential as a navigational artifact than a knowledge artifact.

Pattern matching, Polymorphic variants... Pwaaalalala, comment c'est joli.

@zstix your latest post made me think: BoC's music is totally a particular and contemporary form of "saudade" !
#BoardsOfCanada "ATP rareboc new leak"

Feeding the hype, a leaked sounboard recording of 3 tracks of the ATP film.

I currently don't have the luxury to have a strict "AI, not even once" policy too (at work). And as a former cogsci/AI student, I'm too interested by the topic – but disgusted by the industry. I'm in line with the "extra background" too (lot of moral self-reflexions), and try to keep a critical and attentive posture.
I use GH copilot at work since the private beta, it's not a bad solution if you use VSCode:
- you can try a lot of models
- it's not too expensive
- you can cap your consumption
- you can hook local-running models (but to have an efficient local setup, you'll need a powerful machine, think "beefed-up gaming PC/Mac Studio/Pro " with loads of RAM and GPU cores).
It's not that "easy" to use, and being efficient with them is a bit far from the hype and inflated discourses you see online.
Andrej Karpathy (who I find always reliable and honest, despite being in the "pro" camp) summed it up well here: https://xcancel.com/karpathy/status/2015883857489522876
Carefully craft your project's context file (claude.md, copilot-instructions.md, whatever). Stay away from hand-off tools/workflow (often promoted by CLI tools), keep yourself in the loop, always challenge the answers and beware of models idiosyncrasies.
My most efficient uses are mostly:
- brainstorming partner / answering rubber duck, when I feel stuck or want another take on conception and debugging
- exploring unfamiliar or legacy codebases / tools (e.g. projects I didn't work on since several months, infra/ops tools)
- smart autocomplete for "glue code" (I always start by writing myself tests or types / typechecked skeleton first - it helps tremendously).

@dinosaure@mastodon.social 👋 Héhé, oui, j'ai déjà un peu lurké avec intérêt sur tes repos, posts et autres :)
(j'ai d'ailleurs relu hier un post très éclairant sur les perfs de lwt vs eio ;) ).
Bon, tant que j'ai pas suffisamment les bases de OCaml dans les yeux et les doigts (ne surestime pas mon niveau, ni mon temps libre, lol), je n'irais pas encore jusqu'aux unikernels (que je trouve *très* interessants, au demeurant).

@chorist OH. That sound tower!
I instantly recognized the TX81z (someone *gave* me one ~20 years ago) and the audio patchbay. Mine are not very active since few years (rat race, kids, life), but they'll sing again for sure !

@cstross Neural networks, by mathematical nature, are lossy information-compressing artefacts !
@osm_tech Kudos and many thanks ! ❤️

@CodeursEnLiberte@framapiaf.org bravo et merci!
je travaille actuellement sur un petit projet (complètement browser-side) qui utilise maplibre (analyse et partage de trajets rando/vélo), je vais probablement ajouter ces tuiles dans la liste des styles!

@arra merci !
Savez-vous si le vaccin de cette campagne printanière a été "mis à jour" ? (et si oui, sur quels variants circulant).
=> Je ne fais pas partie "officiellement" des pop. à risque et je me suis fait vacciner en fin d'automne.

@n1k0 J'aime bien le cadre blanc que tu ajoutes: ça me fait penser aux tirages en bandes de lecture quand je faisais encore de l'argentique, et ça délimite mieux la photo, peu importe le thème du client mastodon utilisé.
Possible que je tente aussi, malgré mon éthique de "le moins de post-processing possible'" (qui a dit "psychorigide" ? :D )

@Enthalpiste pareil, j'en vois partout (des pubs pour ce groupe), je comprends pas bien pourquoi/comment.
Today we visited a french nuclear submarine from the late 60s, early 70s (Le Redoutable).
Pretty impressive aesthetically and engineering-wise, even if I’m not that much in war things.
This thing had roughly 1600 x Hiroshima destructive power in his bowels. Sickening (and in modern ones, it’s way higher).
The user interfaces and control panels were very interesting (and quite innovative for the era).
Took a lot of pics.
Pas beaucoup de #vélo depuis mon arrivée en vacances: pour l’instant le planning famille ne s’y prête pas et il y a un vent pas possible (65km/h !). Les quelques petits trajets utilitaires que j’ai fait étaient dantesques.
Je suis un peu frustré: le bocage du #Cotentin est vraiment très beau, très vallonné et plein de petits chemins creux fleuris.
Bon, la rando à pieds c’est bien aussi :)

Do you feel the same?
Yes, a bit. I tend to keep the usage on boring/administrative/glue code or when stuck (because I'm lacking senior colleagues right now...). My usage is still very low (when I compare token consumptions with other people).
Do have a plan if it's ever starts happening to you?
Professionally, not really. That said, I often rework the machine output, sometimes quite a lot. On personal level, yes, I try (on free time... :-/ ) to dabble with other langs (OCaml, Rust), without any text synthesizer (I'm also getting tired of the cruftiness of Python/JS/TS).
On the atrophy and consequences topic, I'm much more worried by everybody's everyday naive usages that my eldest daughter and my wife report to me. I almost never use those text synthesizers on other purposes than software-eng. topics.
Printed 100+ pictures from my archives and spent the evening selecting and playing. Investigating the effect of associations, the relationships with the format on what it does to the eye and the soul.
Oh my. I should have done that before. It’s so different and much more opening than experimenting trapped in a screen. It’s quicker too.
Also, lot of self-reflections on what I try/would like to “tell”.

@JacquesCaplat@eldritch.cafe ça fait deux jours sur Reddit que j’ai l’impression de me battre/debunker contre des bots de la FNSEA: fausses citations du rapport, contre-sens scientifiques, “c’est pas prouvé que le cadmium est cancérigène par ingestion”, etc.

@sebsauvage@framapiaf.org et puis franchement, avec les ordiphotophones contemporains qui sortent des images tout à fait correctes, c’est se priver d’un plaisir (apprendre les bases de la photo et choisir dans la bibliothèque). Au pire, sur unsplash, il y en plein de très valables !

I’m not in line with everything, but it’s particularly frightening, especially for US-citizens.
