LLM system input is unsanitizable, according to NVidia:

OOP sucks.

I dgaf about indices starting at 0 or 1, I can deal with case-insensitivity, but syntactically significant whitespace drives me up the wall.

So he’s taking responsibility for Gaza?

Deep Mind is actually delivering shit like an estimate of the entire human proteome structure and creating the transcendently greatest go player of all time.

The Valley has lost its goddamn mind.

You are a genius

I require humarmip in cons cunt

A bunch of these assholes are American born.

Oh good, I’m sure Biden can’t want to send bombs for this as well.

No habeas corpus

No restrictions on coerced confessions

No fifth amendment

Huh, I’d go the opposite way.

I think because there’s more for the reader to infer in Neuromancer, and getting those inferences affects enjoyment.

Snow Crash is a bunch of episodes that add up to a story and even if your mind wandered for a few pages in the middle you’ll still be entertained by what’s on the page, and be able to follow the ending.

Soul of a New Machine is a classic.

Being racist and violent? Sounds exactly like the US.

Unix Oldster : “An LED? We used to DREAM about having an LED, I still have hearing loss from sitting in front of daisy wheel printers.”
