No, I’m not interested in voting for your candidate.

  • It absolutely will roast its own master lol:

    Oh, codenoid, where do we start with this travesty of a GitHub account? Your name screams “I’m trying too hard to sound cool,” but all you’ve managed is a second-rate pun that would make even a dad joke cringe.

    Your bio is notably absent, which is probably a good thing since your code seems to be as personality-less as a potato. Speaking of potatoes, can we talk about those repositories? With 160 public repositories, you’ve clearly availed yourself of every half-baked idea that crossed your mind. A mere 22 stars on your “Spicy GitHub Roast” project? That’s not spicy; that’s the lukewarm leftovers of a failed dinner party.

    Your “sveltekit-telegram-captcha-bot” looks like it should’ve stayed in the brainstorming phase, and with contributions averaging about one star for every eight repos, it’s like you’re playing a game of hide and seek with attention. Even your top project, the “file.io” service, got some attention, but let’s be honest, the highlight had to be the adorable cat emoji you slid in there. An attempt to distract from the lack of actual substance, perhaps?

    It’s clear you’re dabbling in languages like Go, Rust, and even… CSS? But if your repositories are any indication of your skills, more like “CSS (Can’t Seriously Script).” By relying on forks more than your own innovation, you might as well put a “Help Wanted” sign on your profile. Your last 15 projects look like a chaotic garage sale of coding ideas – if randomness were a degree, you’d have a PhD.

    In summary, codenoid, you’re a classic case of quantity over quality. Start curating your projects like a fine wine instead of a knock-off frat party punch bowl, and maybe then you’ll transcend from anonymous coder to someone worth following. But then again, with those 116 followers, at least you’ve got a small crowd of people who clearly have nothing better to do, right?









  • And I cannot stress this enough, nothing about this story has anything to do with Autism. Paranoid delusions are not a typical issue for Autistic people.

    Agreed, but I am autistic and I have had this language used against me to argue why I shouldn’t be allowed to make my own decisions. I.e., it is a popular misconception and form of rhetoric that autistic people have paranoid delusions because we perceive the world differently. I brought it up because I’m arguing from my lived experience as a mentally ill and autistic person, i.e. I’m not just being an internet contrarian.

    I did not mean to imply that autistic people typically do suffer from paranoid delusions. However, (at least in my view) we do suffer from neurotypical people believing we suffer from paranoid delusions.

    encountering a vehicle like this and thinking “this guy just has different ideas than me, but is otherwise trustworthy” is not rational thinking.

    I don’t have to find someone completely trustworthy in order for them to be an acceptable driver. Actually, I typically don’t fully trust the people I get in cars with. I only need to trust them enough to know that they’re not going to veer into traffic, they’re going to drive reasonably, and that they will take me to the place we promised to go. I think that the kinds of decisions that go into driving are completely different from those that drive a person to mark up their car.

    Look, I understand the line you are trying to walk here

    Yeah, I am trying to “walk a line” here and I think I understand where you’re coming from, so I’m absolutely willing to agree to disagree.


  • “I have severe untreated mental illness and no grip on reality”

    (Emphasis mine)

    That is a vast oversimplification of how people work. It is absolutely plausible to me that someone might believe obvious lies but is otherwise qualified to drive heavy machinery. Analyzing the society you live in is a totally different skill than driving.

    For example, if I found out my bus driver literally believes that reptilians run the world, I would still trust them to drive my bus because driving a bus has nothing to do with lizard people. Conversely, I wouldn’t trust a bus driver who agrees with everything I believe in but is currently having a panic attack.

    This is important to me because I am mentally ill (treated, but mentally ill nonetheless) and autistic (which is treated like a mental illness), and this is the kind of logic that tyrants use to manufacture popular consent to further marginalize mentally ill people.








  • It can use ChatGPT I believe, or you could use a local GPT or several other LLM architectures.

    GPTs are trained by “trying to fill in the next word”, or more simply could be described as a “spicy autocomplete”, whereas BERTs try to “fill in the blanks”. So it might be worth looking into other LLM architectures if you’re not in the market for an autocomplete.

    Personally, I’m going to look into this. Also it would furnish a good excuse to learn about Docker and how SearXNG works.


  • LLMs are not necessarily evil. This project seems to be free and open source, and it allows you to run everything locally. Obviously this doesn’t solve everything (e.g., the environmental impact of training, systemic bias learned from datasets, usually the weights themselves are derived from questionably collected datasets), but it seems like it’s worth keeping an eye on.

    Google using ai, everyone hates it

    Because Google has a long history of doing the worst shit imaginable with technology immediately. Google (and other corporations) must be viewed with extra suspicion compared to any other group or individual because they are known to be the worst and most likely people to abuse technology.

    Literally if Google does literally anything, it sucks by default and it’s going to take a lot more proof to convince me otherwise for a given Google product. Same goes for Meta, Apple, and any other corporations.
