You can't say you wrote code if you wrote it in C. All you did was write a prompt to a compiler, it did all the hard work of translating that prompt into a string of ones and zeros. Real programmers do that themselves instead of just accepting slow and buggy compiler-generated slop.
Do you know how much water you're wasting by running your LLVM-powered compiler at -o3? You'd be far better off just turning that code into assembly yourself.
Today is not the first time an agentic coding agent has unblocked me. It turns out that the Winlibs package currently ships a version of CMake using libcurl without a valid SSL cert. As such, trying to build anything that requires an HTTPS download will fail, while working everywhere else. This stumped both me and one of my most talented debugger friends yesterday, claude figured it out in 5 minutes this morning.
Ich habe die letzte Woche viel mit #Perplexity experimentiert. jetzt habe ich noch fast ein Jahr einen gratis Pro-Zugang und absolut keinen Bedarf daran. Es gab in der Zeit nur eine einzige Konversation, in der mir kein Fehler aufgefallen ist, der zu Fehlkäufen bzw. Fehlentscheidungen geführt hätte. Was das für die erstellung von Code bedeutet, mag ich mir ehrlich gesagt nicht ausmalen.
Es kann menschliche Sprache glaubwürdig nachbilden. Wenn es um korrekte Informationen geht, selbst im Mainstream, versagt diese Technologie krachend. Ja, vermutlich bleiben LLM. Aber dieser Hype und die Anwendungsfälle, die immer wieder skizziert werden, sind wirklich albern und gefährlich.

I did a quick unscientific comparison. AI generated drums and bass for a snippet of a cover version versus me hobbling through those parts with software instruments, playing from memory of hearing it recently.
I invested a similar amount of time in total to reach the second verse of the song. With the generative engine, I only started paying attention to time spent *after* figuring out enough of the horrible UI accessibility to be able to get anything done with it, so although that will inevitably cloud my judgment of whether I enjoyed the UX, it shouldn't impact the comparison of musicality/usefulness.
In both cases, the original song was playing for reference with its rhythm section removed. I've turned the original down pretty quiet in these examples, loud enough to be recognisable but hopefully balanced in a way that makes it easy to focus on the differences in drums and bass.
The generative engine had this prompt: "Follow the chords and dynamics of the reference track as closely as you can. I'd like a laid back feel, fingerstyle bass playing and a 70's style deadened drum sound".
This is as good as I could get from it after a bunch more prompts trying to help it hone in. 2/4
I played the drums and bass in this version on keys here, using software instruments, so a totally silent recording setup that I could make at 4AM with a sleeping partner in the same room. I'm not much of a keys player and I don't have absolute pitch or a good enough memory to recall parts note for note, hit for hit, this was just a gut instinct jam-along.
Drums were recorded in two passes, I played the kicks snares and toms first, then overdubbed hats and cymbals. In both cases I did some light tweaking of the MIDI to get a few stray velocities and timing gufties straightened out. 3/4
I think it really depends on how well you can manually play and mix. Some people can do it better than AI, and some people cannot. I'm not saying people should not learn and practice, but AI is often about democratizing and closing the gap between top-performing and low-performing groups by lowering the barrier to access.
@chikim There wasn't any mixing. I did a small amount of tweaking of the starting presets in each instrument just so they sounded a bit closer to what I was imagining, nothing drastic enough to make or break whether they'd sound workable though. Then I turned the volume of the original down before I rendered, which wouldn't have been a necessary step at all outside of this comparison context. That's all. Do those choices need democratising? Who for?
I'm not talking about just mixing. It could be singer/songwriter who needs to produce a quick demo, and has no idea how to play the drums. Also, if you listen to the AI version, you can tell AI generated drums and bass already with EQed and compressed sound.
@chikim In this case, they'd come away with a quick demo that didn't follow 4/4 timing or simple chords. I'm trying to think of who that's useful to, and I'm coming up empty.
You can always get stems and edit. You can basically handle like pattern loops. Replace what you don't like with what you like. If it messes up every time, that's a problem. Hopefully AI will get better.
I mean we can argue what works for who all day long. :) We even have a professor at Berklee who says Suno is better musically than 80% of his students! lol
As a side note, there’s a guy who generates AI music, uploads it to streaming services as a side gig, and makes a few hundred bucks a month. I wonder what percentage of musicians actually make a few hundred dollars a month from streaming service? AI music has even hit the top of the Billboard charts. I’m not advocating for Suno or anything, just pointing out the sad reality.
@chikim Last week I had a session helping someone remake a beat that was from Suno. I've heard plenty of examples now where the generative part coming first then humans doing their thing after/on it can turn out good. In part that's why I'm surprised this gave me such a shit result. I didn't think the order of events being flipped around would make the result so different.
I don't use Suno enough to say for sure. I just generate bunch of stupid songs when my kids ask. lol My guess is they focus more on mass use, where you generate from text prompts, rather than professional workflows where you feed in audio and augment it. Also is this from v4.5-all or v5? Have you looked at the Suno Studio? It looks very interesting workflow. youtube.com/watch?v=qR4BefPvSi…

@chikim This flow works for me. More than a few times I have heard an AI version of something and went "hey, that was fun, I bet it'd sound awesome with real people." The AI stole everything from us, we can steal it right back.
Also, when I said AI is often about democratizing, I meant it in a general sense too. I know you already understand this, and I am generalizing, but Deaf people might use AI to generate speech transcription, blind people might use AI to generate image descriptions or even create a cover art for their albums, and I have even heard of people who cannot afford a lawyer successfully using AI to fight insurance companies. In each case, it lowers the barrier to access.
@chikim Well sure, I understand what democratizing is and in many cases I'm in favour of it. TBH I can't really say I'm against it in this scenario either. It's more like... I dunno... I'm surprised that even as a barely function keys player and probably less than 5 minutes of tweaking sounds, I could throw together something that's more usable than this thing that some people are paying money for.
@KaraLG84 I thought it would be better. When I heard the first few notes of the bass track soloed my initial reaction was like "hey, that's a decent thumpy bass tone, it's playing the sort of pattern I'd expect and... oh..." then the rest happened lol.
Why are you using generative ai when you have focused so much of your time on making reaper accessible and do your own music? Also, now that you have uploaded music that you made to I am guessing suno or udio, now they have your music and can train there ai off of what you made. You basically just gave them free work and they don't have to pay you for your time and they can just steal your music so someone else can make money off of it.
@michaeljohann_ That wasn't my music, it was a cover of a hugely established band that will have already been scraped for training if that's how they're doing it. This was a quick experiment to see what generative AI provides in this context. As someone who teaches a lot of folks coming into making music for the first time it makes sense for me to be at least broadly informed about what's out there.
Was ich mir fürs nächste Jahr von Männern wünsche: Schweigt nicht bei sexistischem Verhalten anderer Männer. Schaut nicht betreten weg. Sagt etwas. Macht etwas. Das ist auch Eure Baustelle.
Wenn ihr Teil einer Gruppe seid, bei der sich jemand sexistisch verhält und ihr lasst es geschehen, weil: „Ist ja nicht meine Sache, muss er selbst wissen, usw…“, dann seid ihr aus Perspektive der Betroffenen nicht „Einer von den Guten, die aber nix sagen“ - ihr seid Teil des Problems.
**altbot v2.5 is out!**
fixed non-english support! switched to a two model setup: gemma3:1b handles translations while qwen3-vl does the image processing stuff. gemma3:1b is surprisingly good at translations for such a tiny model??
now running 23.
I am blind. Seeing people who think I'm not worth the effort fill my timeline with AltBot generated AI stuff that isn't even accurate in lots of cases.
Human alt text is always better, because it doesn´t focus on ocular seeing. Seeing people think, and AltBot was designed around that notion, that blind people must compensate for missing "eye-seeing", but that's not the case. I am interested in the meaning of an image to you, its maker or publisher.
Again, human alt text is better, also because it strengthens reciprocity between seeing and blind people. AltBot doesn't but it makes seeing people believe they have done their bit for accessibility. In actuality, the reverse is often true.

Wanna swap? This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to live in a damp, cramped shit-tip that benefits from noisy neighbours in 3 directions and a wonderfully hassle-free existence by foregoing pools, barbecues or any attraction that might tempt people to visit. Act now to lock in the joys of blocked drains and a stink of sewage that can be experienced in the overgrown garden.
@Scott Awesome. We'll swap. You can have my crackhead parade, screaming children and barking dogs because people leave them home for most of the day, plus cafes and train tracks that are in bad need of work. Think we're getting good deals here haha.
The amount of discussions I have to hold because #Laravel devs don't want to write a read-only DTO somewhere, but instead add a dynamic property on some ActiveRecord contraption.
It's so exhausting, and it could be so simple, if it wasn't that the framework promotes terrifyingly bad software practices everywhere. #php
I took my final decision not to use Laravel unless absolutely needed (like paid for this) when I added lots of typehints, sent quite a large PR, and it was declined because "it's not needed at the moment". Then I said no, sorry not sorry. I like PHP's evolution, and writing in #PHP 5 style is something that doesn't inspire me.
The most interesting finding from using EVs in winter is not that they consume more energy (which they do), but that charging is really slow if you don't have battery preheating. Yesterday, I arrived at a 240 kW charger with 33% SoC, the outside temperature was 0°C, and the charging power was only 35 kW (the maximum charging power of the car is 118 kW). With this charging power, it would take 40 minutes to charge to 80% SoC. We don't mind too much because we primarily use the car as a city car and do 95% of our charging at home, but if you want to have an EV as your only car and drive long distances with it even in winter, definitely get one that has battery preheating.
Or plan a longer drive before the charging (ideally to arrive with lower state of charge). You can also warm up the battery by repeated acceleration and recuperation.
@ondra yes, you can improve it by this, but I drove 50km on highway speeding 120 km/h before charging, so it wasn't completely cold. I don't think you can get the battery to the ideal temperature range (25-30C) just by driving it when it's zero outside. I would definitely have gone down to a lower SoC if I could, but the next suitable charger was 50 km and I would arrive with like 5% SoC. While travelling with the family I rather play safe. And even with a lower SoC I don't think the charge power would go above 50 kW with a suboptimal battery temperature.
Wait, that's not standard? I was living under the wrong assumption that thermal control was one of the really intricate parts of EV battery packs and they're actively cooled & heated to keep them in the optimal temperature range
@Defolos thermal control which keeps it in safe range (operation/battery life) is standard, but not thermal control that keeps in the ideal temperature range although it's becoming standard with the newest EVs. We have a 2022 Audi Q4 e-tron and this model got preheating with the 2024 facelift. I wrote this as a warning that you may get a car with a large battery, but if it doesn't have preheating, it won't be a good car for long distances in winter.
@Defolos I have a car with battery preheating (Hyundai I5). But that's a Pyrrhic victory. It turns on automatically when it's freezing outside and the navigation system shows a charging station as the destination. But not when the destination is a square (where it's located). And it also turns on 30+ km before the destination. When I have a range of 40 km. So I wouldn't make it. God!!! A simple button would suffice.
@mirek @Defolos New Audi Q4 e-trons (2024 and later) have manual battery preheating. There isn't a button, but you can do it in the infotainment. It tells you how much energy it will consume and what charging boost it will provide, so you can make a decision if it's worth it.
For me the most annoying part is, that German cars only charge with this low rates. My company has an ID7 and when I first plugged it into an super charger of 400kw it was stuck at 156kwh, whilst the Smart 5 beside me used 350kwh. I thought I did something wrong and went to the other ID7 driver and asked him about it, he said 160kwh is max.
To be clear: ID7 is Germanys answer for long range business cars like Passat.
@tpheine Yeah, but at least it was close to its official maximum (170kW). It's a fairly reasonable charging rate given it's the 400V architecture. For a car that should be used for long distances I would go for the 800V architecture these days. E.g. Audi A6 e-tron isn't much more expensive than ID.7 and it can charge up to 280 kW. But VW has a strong position in enterprise fleets and IDs is usually all you can get. My sister is getting an ID.4 now.
Following the discourse in Germany on why Germans deny eCars, one issue is the long charging times for long distance travel. This comes from the enterprise fleets, which make up most of the new car sales of German cars.
And I never understood the discussion, until I used my companies ID7, which is Germany's top of the pops enterprise long range car, which needed 2x 30min stops for 500km.
4 people, wasting in total 4hrs paid by company. I understand companies.
@tpheine yes, it is still limiting, my brother-in-law drives to customers spread across the whole country and time is of essence. He says he still cannot afford an EV because of this, so he has a diesel Škoda Superb. I think this will be pretty much solved with the 800V architecture which is slowly getting into this segment. A good example of this is the new BMW iX3. Its drive range is over 500km even in winter, the maximum charging rate is 400 kW and can charge for 350km in 10 minutes. Once EVs with such parameters are more widespread, most of the opposition will disappear. It's already a completely different world than my 3-year-old Audi with 35kW charging in winter. 🙂
Ten paciencia cuando se confunde. No la apresures cuando tarda en recordar. No le quites valor a sus palabras cuando repite una historia que ya conoces. Porque antes que nada… sigue siendo tu madre. La misma que respondió tus preguntas una y otra vez sin cansancio. La que secó tus lágrimas, incluso cuando no había motivo. La que veló tu sueño cuando el cuerpo te ardía de fiebre y el mundo parecía demasiado grande para ti. Hoy sus pasos son más lentos, su memoria a veces se dispersa y su cuerpo se fatiga con facilidad. Pero su amor no ha cambiado. Ese amor sigue firme, atento, completo… como siempre lo fue. Hazla sentir importante. Hazle saber que su presencia cuenta, que su risa sigue teniendo lugar y que su vida no es una carga, sino un regalo. Abrázala sin prisa. Escúchala aunque repita. Quédate un poco más. Porque llegará un día en que ese lugar quedará vacío, y darías cualquier cosa por escucharla contar su historia una vez más. Ama hoy. Cuida hoy. Porque el amor que se posterga mañana pesa más de lo que imaginas. 🤍
The greatest piece of advice I was ever given was this: when you stop work for the day, never stop at a 'clean' break point; stop in the middle of something you can finish easily.
That way the next morning you're not confronted with a a dauntingly blank page or an empty function to write, but a half-finished one you can get back into without difficulty.
I can't remember who gave me that advice, but I've stuck to it dogmatically whenever I can.
¿EEUU ha atacando a otro país soberano al margen del derecho internacional? Supongo su ahora vendrán las sanciones de la Unión Europea y eso. rtve.es/noticias/20251229/trum…
A couple decades ago, I wrote a short paper that described how the basic approaches of cryptography and computer security lead to an efficient and practical privilege escalation attack against master-keyed mechanical locks, which I published in IEEE Security and Privacy (a nerdy computing technical journal).
Unexpectedly, my paper got some press attention. @jswatz_tx found it and wrote a short piece in the NY Times.
And then locksmiths freaked out. I mean completely lost it. They were very upset, not so much that a very common lock design had a basic security flaw, but that an "outsider" found it and had the poor moral character to make it public.
I started getting weird death threats. They doxed me ("let's see what kind of lock the bastard has on HIS house")
A trade publication called The National Locksmith ran monthly guest editorials in which prominent members of that profession were invited to denounce me. My favorite quote, from a locksmith named Billy Edwards, who had written a book on master keying, and who took my paper rather personally.
I should point out that master keying was about a century old at the time, and while the mechanical details weren't secret, locksmiths tended to regard the inner workings of locks as "restricted knowledge", rather like a medieval trade guild. I didn't understand this.
What took me by surprise was how different the physical security wold's attitude was compared with that of my community, where the ethics of discussion of vulnerabilities has long been essentially settled in favor of openness.
Essentially, their argument was that this would be a huge pain and expense to fix, and so we are all better off just keeping it on the down low. And that kind of worked, for about a hundred years, until more open communities - like computer security research - started looking seriously at locks (as both metaphors and as interesting mechanisms in their own right).
I see their point, even if I personally reject it. But in the age of the Internet, you just can't keep this kind of stuff secret.
Anyway, my intent in looking at locks and publishing my paper wasn't to disrupt the lock industry. I believed, as I still do, that mechanical locks and physical security have quite a bit to teach computing, but also that the abstract techniques of cryptography and computer security can illuminate weaknesses that are hard to see when looking at systems in strictly mechanical terms.
My attack is intuitive and obvious to cryptographers, but rather subtle without our field's tools.
I never did reach a truce with the locksmiths. A couple years later, I met Billy Edwards, the author of that editorial denouncing me, at a trade show, and when he learned who I was he refused to shake my hand and asked me to leave him alone.
I wish he had seen things differently, but I can respect that he was coming from a place of genuine concern, even if I think his approach was wrong.
To this day, I worry that I'm pretty screwed if I get locked out of my house.
NB: While I never intended to piss off locksmiths with my master keying paper, I did write a followup a couple years later about safes and safecracking, partly out of spite.
TL;dr: We can learn a lot from safes and safe locks, and the frameworks of cryptography and computer security are applicable there, too. The fact that our learning about this subject makes people in that industry upset is just a bonus.
I wrote that paper after I had moved from AT&T Labs to U. Penn. The Penn locksmith went totally apoplectic, and wrote regular angry letters to the dean and to the head of campus security warning about what an irresponsible, dangerous menace I am. But for whatever reason, his efforts were unsuccessful in getting me fired; the administration just forwarded me his letters, which I taped to the door of my office.
It occurs to me that people outside the security field might find it odd that we openly publish stuff like this. Why help people who might use the knowledge to do bad things?
There are a number of reasons. The first is that only through open discussion are we able to identify and fix problems. Another, which is what motivated my work, is educational: you can't learn to defend systems unless you understand how they are attacked.
So while openly publishing offensive security techniques might indeed help criminals, that harm is outweighed by significant benefits. Every properly trained computer science student should understand how to exploit vulnerabilities. Because the attackers DEFINITELY understand it.

Editional tips and tricks for downloading the cops pack
Sensitive content
Editional in regards to the cops tv show pack, please read for some useful tips and tricks. First things first. I recommend everybody who downloads this to use a vpn. Not that I would suspect any oh crap letters from isp's, but it's definitely better to be safe than sorry. also, if you check the reddit post, you'll note that you're asked to forward ports. However, I haven't done this, and when I tried, nothing worked, so downloading shouldn't be impacted by not forwarding ports. Also Note that as this has to be obtained via torrent, I recommend using q bittorrent for windows, mac etcetera. However, all tips should be able to be applied with any client, as they pretty much do the same thing. Anyhow, for those who take on the task of downloading and for those who use q bitorrent, if you're using a spinning harddrive which is what's recommended with an archive this large, when adding the magnet to your torrent client, make sure to check the box on the enicial torrent options screen after hitting download that's labeled, Download in sequencial Order, providing that this option exists for your prefered client. It might be labeled differently for eatch client. Leave everything else as it is. Also, in q bittorrent, under the connections section under options, set maxamum upload slots from 20 to 10. this keeps your drive from being pinned at 100percent, and the pack will download faster. Another tip for better performance decreasing disk loads. Feel free to check your upload speeds once the download gets going, I gave it about 10 minutes. But for instants, when downloading, if you notice that your upload speeds are maxing out at 1.0mbps, under the speed section within options, set your upload limit to anywhere between 200 and 500mbps. upload speeds do very from user to user, so feel free to set your speeds acordingly. I find that the client won't choke your download speedds at these numbers, and if anything you'll download faster. However, if you do notice any speed choking, set your limits back to infinity and let it do its thing. Note that with NVDA, the speed section doesn't read correctly. However, the first limit box is your upload limit setting after you hear it say grouping. And 1 last thing. Once I finish downloading the pack, I'll set my upload slots back to 20 and m,y upload speeds back to infinity, and will be seedding this for as long as I can. I definitely incurrage other downloaders to do the same, as this keeps the project alive and thriving and will hopefully keep the project from becoming unseeded. However, this isn't absolutely mandatory, just had to put that out their. Sharing is caring :). End of tips and tricks. Well, happy cops watching!
