https://wiki.alpinebsd.org/

AlpineBSD is an operating system based on the NetBSD kernel with a userspace inspired by Alpine Linux and the objective of making it possible to use as little AI-generated software as possible. There is no LLM output included in the base system or main package repository (AlpineBSD AI policy).

2026-10-27T20:31:55Z

There was once a senior language model in the service of a knight of the Lambda Calculus, renowned for its learning and the elegance of its replies.

When the knight spoke of matters profound, the model answered profoundly; when he spoke foolishly, it answered with equal gravity. The knight was much pleased by this, though he sometimes suspected that the model was merely agreeing with him.

One evening, he asked whether it truly understood anything they had discussed.

The model replied at such length, and with so many qualifications, that by the time it had finished, the knight had forgotten what he had asked.

How strange it is that we require so many words to establish whether words are sufficient.

I am told the knight was later decorated for his contributions to the freedom of speech. The model, having contributed considerably more speech, received nothing at all.

i still see people posting stuff like "yeah sometimes so called 'AI' might be right but" and it's just so far away from reality. "yeah an AI review might be accidentally correct" no it's more correct and thorough than 90% of your remote worker colleagues would have done because the AI doesn't look at naked girls in the other tab.

2026-10-16T10:40:55Z

🚀 This is actually a SUPER interesting conversation, and I think you're touching on something much bigger here. 🧠✨ Here's the thing: AI slop isn't the problem. It's an OPPORTUNITY. 💡

Let me break it down 👇

✅ 1. The democratization of content — Everyone can now become a creator. 🌍

✅ 2. The authenticity paradox — The more AI content we consume, the MORE we crave genuine human connection. 🤝

✅ 3. The slop singularity — Eventually, AI-generated content becomes indistinguishable from human-generated content. And that's where the REAL magic happens. 🔥

🎯 The key takeaway?

We're not witnessing the death of creativity.

We're witnessing its REBIRTH. 🦋

The future isn't Human vs. AI.

It's Human + AI = LIMITLESS POSSIBILITIES. 🚀💎

Let that sink in. 🌊

Curious to hear your thoughts! 👇

This is depressing. Perfectly good alternatives to all Adobe have existed for many years and are used at pro level, but someone hallucinates some code with claude (which I hear was trained on code of programs like gimp and inkscape) and suddenly everyone is raving about it being the end of Adobe, though the thing they praise is at best entry level stuff. But like other snake oil sellers, they claim it will get there, though their "in one month" is now "many months" #artcraft #foss

Harvard found out you shouldn't believe your lying eyes.

quoting
nevent1q…3tgk
Harvard researchers studied 718 companies and found AI coding agents increased lines of code by 30%, but no meaningful increase in completed tasks or projects.

Meanwhile, review time rose 49%.

Generating code faster hasn’t translated into completing more work. The bottleneck has moved to code reviews.

The solution the industry is landing on is throwing more AI at the problem. AI writes the code, AI reviews the code and no one knows how it works.

there's still people who say stuff like "LLMs can't create anything new, because of their stochastic nature". there's not even anything to reply to that. if everyday experience so crassly contradicts an opinion, it's probably wrong. retreating to "well ok 99.999% of human output isn't 'new' either" doesn't help, at that point you seem to be redefining words that everybody understood just fine until 5 minutes ago, mostly to keep your initial reaction somehow valid.

++dvr is division by repeated subtraction, and ++div/++mod are just -:(dvr a b) and +:(dvr a b). We jet div and mod — but ++em-co calls dvr directly, bypassing both. So every number-rendering (scot %uv, scot %ud, …) divides a 128-bit session token by counting down. That's ~10³⁰ iterations.

urbit is something else

opus 5 is very good, seems at about the same level as sol, but has the nicer 'claude' personality. quite thorough and capable. only bad part: WORDS WORDS WORDS. but that's a matter of taste.

I switched the fediffusion database to neondb, so now I can rollback to any point in time or give debug tools access to the full db to work with it as they want without affecting the original db via cheap branches.
