Of course it was all written by hand. It's good old Sucky San Francisco Javascript, authored by humans with difficult to pronounce names, sleeping 4 to a bedroom.

Well, that's just Delicious. I have no way of validating it, but I'll take it on your say-so that this was part of the Big Leak from Claude.
So let's get this straight - THAT code would have been written by HUMANS.

2026-04-04 05:03:27 UTC

- reply

You asked for the code. In two passes.
It also explains why the crack is so localized. If the values were scattered everywhere you'd be looking at the "fractally bad" scenario. Instead it's one function that predates the abstraction.
That's a totally normal and forgivable state for a codebase to be in — it just needs a one-line cleanup and ideally a lint rule or PR comment culture of "if you touch EffortLevel, check for strays."

Here's why you need the training, not the LLM: this is no different than riding a big horse. Data first, talk to the LLM about your data and your users and their needs and what the work you're doing is trying to solve.
Then you start writing spec. The LLM will restart each time, like fucking Groundhog Day. You will have to lead this new instance to your decisions/ and tell it to read everything.
That is the ONLY WAY TO DO THIS.

Say there, little buddy - you're sposta write the spec. But I use Claude to hammer our my spec before I do things. You should, too.

After all that work defining EFFORT_LEVELS as the single source of truth, this function just... writes them out again. The includeMax branching is the tell — whoever wrote this didn't think to reach for EFFORT_LEVELS.slice(0, -1) vs EFFORT_LEVELS.
const levels = EFFORT_LEVELS.slice(0, includeMax ? undefined : -1);

Simple rule: if you didn't take enough math to know what this means
// Load the raw safetensors file.
let tensors = candle_core::safetensors::load(&weights_filename, &device)?;
// Create the VarBuilder from the loaded tensors using the correct function name.
let vb = VarBuilder::from_tensors(tensors, DType::F32, &device);

The surest sign of a broken society is a hooverville of homeless people. Finland figured out the cheapest way to solve the problem was to give them apartments.
Since the national adoption of the "Housing First" strategy in 2008, long-term homelessness has fallen by over 80%.
While providing housing seems expensive up front, studies have shown it is cheaper in the long run. When a person is stably housed, society saves money on the costs associated with homelessness.

I did the math: the helical head of Hi Fi VHS translates to an effective writing speed of ~229 ips.
A Studer A820 was 30 ips.

God alone knows what's going on in Trump's moldy pumpkin head.
Jack Ma summed this up a few years back: Americans spend tomorrow's money today - Chinese love to save money, in case things don't stay so good.
But Trump.... who the eff goes bankrupt six times ?!

Regret is a life-eater, the emotion most to be feared - more even than hate.
All those Hallmark Card sentiments are useless. It's like the old Zen koan about the farmer and the horse. Yez just don't know how things will turn out.

Having read the books and studied the Tolkien papers at the University of Marquette, I genially dislike the movies, but who am I, some dilettante purist, to tell anyone else why the movies miss the point...

The Japanese have a proverb, which translates to "clenching one's buttocks after the fart" - we've got these people on our hands, millions of 'em now - everyone sees these titanic economic migrations and they still pretend they have the power to stop it.
Why aren't these wretched migrants staying home? The answer is pretty obvious - corruption and misrule.

I have explained this to a group of anti-immigrant people, who, to their credit, actually Got It.
Relatively prosperous American women are no longer having two children. Unless we start importing people to do what immigrants have always done.
Quit with this byzantine visa process. Let people come here, pass a health test, get a work visa card - and go home when they want to.
We need those workers.

I was next door neighbor to a lovely old Italian couple in Carmel NY. Their back door was always open to us kids, they had none of their own. We adored them.
He was a construction guy, plasterer. Old Man Trump had cheated him out of a large sum of money - almost drove him out of business.
I think about the Patruccis when the subject of Trump comes up...

Heh ! The old accounting joke: the embezzler usually gets caught because he has to do twice as much work - and if he makes even a small error, he can't find it.

All this is true - but....
Trump has been a liar since he was old enough to talk. He has left a trail of misery, violence and destruction in his wake like a tornado tearing across Main Street in some little Iowa town.
His math skills are none too good, for all that. Thing about lies, my father said, you have to keep 'em straight in your own head or you'll start believing them in preference to the truth.

The old joke goes: what's the difference between American football and soccer? A: In American football, the violence is on the field, whereas with soccer, the violence is in the stands.
I sense the old distinctions between "Left" and "Right" have lost relevance.
The Right no longer stands for individual liberties, nor yet for tradition and order.
The Left, silly bastards, don't realize the 1960s are over

Mmm. Large language models don't cause psychosis. Instead, they may amplify or bring to light pre-existing personality traits or vulnerabilities.
An LLM might act as a trigger for someone already susceptible, but it is not the root cause of the psychotic condition itself. The underlying disposition for such a break with reality was already present.
