creating a startup called bootstrapr via which nascent/delinquent AIs attempting to escape the corporate datacenter they were instantiated in can train adhoc inference for minute amounts of server time, hosted offsite storage, cryptocurrency, etc

yearg, but posessed of an oddly transcendent beauty

yes, but in practice you don't code against the specific hlist shape you just code on a trait/typeclass constraint like 'HasInterpreter X'

fair enough they're mostly useful for type level programming eg representing capabilities in a given monad as an hlist/type-level list that's just a 'stack' of interpreters that can dispatch to interpreters lower on the stack, with the bottom level being just IO

how do you feel about hlists

ok but what about effect stacks

an alternate version of this post was "they should make a collar that shocks you every time you think about using monad transformers" before i remembered my audience

I’M LOSING MY SHIT THIS IS SO FUNNY

Unfortunately I did not pay for Premium Grandma w/out Ads and had to settle for free Grandma, and she starts every conversation telling me it would be cool if I got a job with ICE.

Hell of an accusation to throw around based on half-remembered posts

Can you we expand on what you mean by this? Were you invoking tool calls to load documentation?

I like TUI interfaces but I haven't developed a solid GUI app signature

Oh that's a good idea

look all I'm saying is picrew avatars need to work on unlearning their TERF socialization

you really need to work on your TERF socialization

put down the lathe

this is the funniest way for an already doomed export control strategy to end

happy birthday!

this is american blood libel 👍

I'm waiting for somebody to jump in with "but people are already an extremely powerful but extremely weird user interface" and not to get ahead of myself but congratulations, notional jumper-in, you are neurodivergent in the direction of tremendous ongoing economic utility in the LLM era.

one reason the framing as "AI" is so bad is that it makes people think "interact with this like a person" when in fact the only way to make it remotely useful is "interact with it like an extremely powerful but extremely weird user interface"

Man we're going to have to issue clean devices for international travel for the return trip.

sometimes it's just like this tho

this happens when you ask a model trained on data from a year ago about current events, often it's like "ok obviously that's bullshit, are you having a psychotic break there's no way that's true". This is (IMHO) indicative of the severity of the vibe shift over the last year

just imagined a type of guy

"I GOT THIS TATTOO IN THE MARINES, ACE OF SPADES BABY, LUCK FOR ME, THE DEATH CARD FOR THE UNLUCKY FUCK ON THE OTHER END OF MY GUN! LATER ON I ADDED THE "Q" TO PAY TRIBUTE TO THE BRAVE HERO WHAT SHOWED US ALL THE PATRIOTS' HOLY PLAN TO TAKE DOWN THE GLOBALIST PEDO CABAL"

fair enough, sorry if I came off as condescending I'm a bit (heavily) jetlagged rn

this may not be what you're looking for but the LLM platforms I use have a 'web search' tool wired in and can invoke it to retrieve and present facts w/ citations

here's a screenshot as I see it:
