15:11:16ParaWhy is Texas limiting nevet?!
15:12:07dreamrealha. ha. ha.
15:13:35ParaAnything cool going on?
15:15:27dreamrealI'm adding an annotation for rss content to nevet so I can train it more gooder
15:15:36dreamrealbut I found some bugs along the way, as one does
15:16:40ParaI got a pretty cool maintenance PR in today. -17k rows + 15k rows, most of the diff is package-lock.json going nuts because I moved ancient frontend from whatever webpack to vite+typescript.
15:16:50ParaActual diff is like -6k rows of cruft.
15:16:56dreamrealheh
15:17:00* johnjay joined #java
15:17:42ParaAnd major stuff at that; lots of dao classes to records, more up-to-date and idiomic code all over, testcontainers so that the thing can now actually run the test suite in CI, DevX stuff... all in all pretty neat.
15:18:18ParaHave to knock on wood, I don't get to spend a week on just making things prettier that often :)
15:22:01dreamrealAs long as it works!
15:23:03dreamrealI've actually been really happy with the UI updates on nevet - I have been ignoring the nextjs UI except for bugs (and since neither I nor anyone else I know uses it: no reported bugs! No reports, no bugs, right?) and the new UIs are both much nicer in completely different ways

15:48:41dreamrealhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50022246 please upvote if you think it's worth it
15:48:41javabotdreamreal's title: "Listening Too Fast | Hacker News"
15:48:41nevetListening Too Fast | Hacker News
15:50:19* hwpplayer1 joined #java
15:59:06ParaFrom what I understand, there's a specific language processing skill which everyone has and adeptness varies a lot from one person to another; reading and ingesting text without thinking what it _sounds_ like. Speed readers know how to skip the "sound" part entirely, and is the basis of speed reading.
16:00:00ParaBasically you just need to look at a word to understand it, but something in us wants to push it to the speech part of our brain as well, and that's just extra processing for no reason as you're not going to speak aloud what you're reading.
16:03:14* New-Dawn-Owl quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds)
16:03:47dreamreal... so gimme the upvotes! That's not my karma that you're helping but it IS my site
16:03:57dreamrealand did you read the article
16:11:25* bliminse quit (Quit: leaving)
16:14:12* bliminse joined #java
16:14:54ParaI need to re-read it, I'm a terrible reader.
16:15:03Parasoon :)
16:15:50dreamrealI actually pointed that out IN THE SECOND PARAGRAPH!!!
16:15:53* New-Dawn-Owl joined #java
16:15:57dreamrealyou proved the thesis!
16:16:04* dreamreal fumes
16:16:10ParaMonkey together strong?
16:17:16* node1 joined #java
16:17:57ParaOkay, to be serious. I tend to say "only jokes have punchlines", it's basically an inverse of "Put the conclusion first. Don't bury the lede." with the same basic idea.
16:18:58dreamrealsure, but ... again, you're addressing the *sender* and not the receiver
16:21:02sbalmosdreamreal: oh that's easy. unsafe { receiver = &*sender }.
16:24:46ParaSo I think my particular droning problem is a bit of a difficult one here - for me - to fit into what I think you're trying to say. I blather a lot. My LLM prompts reflect this, it's not that I try to cram a lot of rules and context and whatnot into a prompt, but I end up explaining a lot of tangential things. In human discussions I've gotten better over the years to provide mental checkpoints and
16:24:48Parapauses to keep things at least somewhat coherent, but my brain in actuality is still racing way too fast for decent discussion.
16:25:28dreamrealHrmm
16:25:33dreamrealso you're missing it, then
16:25:39dreamrealwhich is fair
16:25:43ParaMost of my prompting strategies nowadays involve "ask first, don't execute" in some form because of this. I've learned to chain myself.
16:25:45dreamrealcan I still get the upvote though?
16:25:51ParaI'd have to register.
16:25:58ParaAnd I wonder if that would actually be net negative.
16:26:20dreamrealwell, that's mine, too: I definitely demand explanation and requirement compliance, and I don't let it run tests in isolation ever
16:26:34dreamrealit isn't a net negative, no
16:28:37ParaI really don't understand the sycopanthy in ChatGPT et al, no normal person wants a discussion of any kind work like that.
16:28:53ParaIt used to be absolute garbage a few years ago, it's been tuned down a lot since but it's still kinda horrible.
16:29:01dreamrealI think you have a vastly generous opinion of the normal people out there
16:29:22ParaFair, my "normal" benchmark is quite far from an average IT worker.
16:29:34Para(that'd be my sister who's worked in retail for +20 years)
16:30:30dreamrealIn my experience there are a lot of people who will use an LLM as inefficiently as possible with absolutely craptastic guardrails, waiting for it to screw up, and then they're like "SEE?!?!?! IT'S ALL A LIE!" ... while someone else using the exact same service and model runs rings around them because they're actually using it properly

16:31:40* stfstfm joined #java
16:31:49* stfstfm_ quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds)
16:31:55ParaSure. There's actually currently two major LLM driven efforts going which could be used a context. First, the *craft tools, reimplementing Adobe products. The issue tracker is entertaining in its own right, with lofty claims of replacing all Adobe products and all. "Why?" applies there only superficially.
16:32:03dreamrealI tryto think generously of my fellow humans but they keep tryna make it hard
16:33:09ParaThe other one is PS5 emulation, which just this week has exploded wildly due to Sony being Sony. There's now _multiple_ emulators, each focusing on slightly different things, with 50...200x performance boosts. One emulator is focusing on building translation layer for the GPU instructions (they just reached 100% coverage), another one is running the PS5 OS, and then there's the more traditional "run
16:33:11Parathis game" type of emulators also doing leaps.
16:33:52ParaAt the very base level these are the same, reimplement a specific piece of software, but interest and popularity and general acceptance are almost polar opposites.
16:34:48ParaWhile people can agree that both Adobe licensing and Sony going digital sucks, somehow essentially the same solution is seen either as "waste of tokens but kinda neat" and "absolutely awesome".
16:35:46ParaBut, it's quite obvious people generally don't listen, no need to use some recent things as example for that.
16:36:30ParaI had a customer support call (I was calling an ISP) today where I was interrupted because I was apparently explaining enough to the support person's opinion about the rather complex state of circumstances I was having a problem with.
16:36:52ParaIt got kinda frustrating because what I was trying to stay in the very beginning had to be repeated several times a bit later because of said interruption.
16:39:01ParaAnd even that is kinda annoying; I recognize that as The Family Resident Nerd I know way too many things beforehand and can provide L2 debugging info right from the get-go, but there's no "skip first level of support" anywhere.
