your posts keep just slinging words together and it’s just fucking weird

negative reactions? to your own shitty posts?

well fuck damn, I wonder what’s confusing

once again: the fuck is this post

you could be right

is that Rao as in venkatesh?

(oh, you linked ribbonfarm, so I guess the answer is yes)

....the fuck is this post

nasb, hedgehog review on promptfans and learning

god forbid any such posters think we want them pissing in our lounge

I wonder how many of these people will do a Very Sudden opinion reversal once these headwinds wind disappear

weren't you also here having shitty opinions like a week ago?

e: yes

the term of art is "residential proxy" and there's a ton of them

for example: it's the flipside of Bright's free VPN service - through Bright Data they sell people access proxied via some user's connection

yes, you can match on user agent, and then conditionally serve them other stuff (most webservers are fine with this). nepenthes and iocaine are the current preferred/recommended servers to serve them bot mazes

the thing is that the crawlers will also lie (openai definitely doesn't publish all its own source IPs, I've verified this myself), and will attempt a number of workarounds (like using residential proxies too)

I hadn’t encountered either the Howard person nor heard of this podcast, but imma find that episode and listen because it sounds like quite an experience!

the Russian Exit, a classic

as a lot can be learned from trying to fix weird bugs

a truism, but not one I believe many of our esteemed promptfuckers could appreciate

citation

and here I was graciously giving the promptfuckers a choice

many of the proponents of things in this field will propose/argue $x thing to be massively valuable for $x

thing is, that doesn't often work out

yes, there's some value in the tech for translation outcomes. to anyone even mildly online, "so are language teaching apps/sites using this?" is probably a very nearby question. and rightly so!

and then when you go digging into how that's going in practice, wow fuck damn doesn't that Glorious AI Future sheen just fall right off...

RIP my hopes and dreams :<

like LLM like shithead

fuck, there's potential here, but a bit too specific for a t-shirt?

like llm like idiot

perhaps?
